Chapter 2411 Gui Zijuan jumped ship and took a new path
"Ding Deyi, what do you want to do when you come to talk to our two brothers today?" Zhen Yingjia had already understood that this time the Ding family came with bad intentions, so she was not so polite and asked directly.
"Brother Ying Jia, Brother Ying Yu, the Zhen family is too slow, and many things that should be done have not been done. I am very worried that the Zhen family will not be able to survive this storm..." Ding Deyi still looked calm, "The Ding family also has a large family and cannot be implicated by the Zhen family..."
Zhen Yingyu was angry and impatient. Did this guy regard the Zhen family as a sinking ship?
Zhen Yingjia's face became extremely ferocious, and she tried her best to control her emotions: "Ding Deyi, what do you want to do?"
"Brother Ying Jia, our Ding family is very particular about people. We won't do things that add insult to injury. We have also been in-laws for a few years. Here are 40,000 taels of silver notes. The ones from Taihe Bank are from Haitong. The money issued by Yinzhuang is regarded as the equity and dividends of your Zhen family's investment in Qimen Tea House and Tea Mountain. You originally invested 20,000 taels in shares. Now, in five years, with the equity plus dividends, our Ding family can be considered worthy of your Zhen family. …”
Ding Deyi raised his head slightly, and Ding Zhongzhen had already presented the banknote.
Zhen Yingjia’s gloomy gaze fell on the expressionless face of Ding Zhongzhen.
This good son-in-law is always very well-behaved. He always smiles and smiles every time he comes to the house. The family has a very good impression of him. Although he is just a scholar, the Ding family is not originally from a scholarly family, so no one cares about it. Thinking about it now, he is so cold-blooded.
“In addition, this is your one thousand acres of land in She County. Although it is held by the Ding family, the land title is also yours. Now it will be returned in its original form..."
Ding Zhongzhen’s words were as gentle and indifferent as when he came to his father-in-law’s house. This thousand acres of land was Zhen Baochen’s dowry at that time!
How dare the Ding family? !
The Zhen brothers could hardly believe their ears, but they had to face this reality. Zhen Yingjia calmed down a little and gasped slightly: "Ding Zhongzhen, what do you mean?"
"Father-in-law, this is my last call to you, father-in-law. Baochen has been away from the Ding family for eight years. My parents are eager for a grandson, so as a son, I must be filial, so I can only divorce my wife..."
Ding Zhongzhen's gentleness and elegance were even more cold to the bone at this time. Both brothers Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu deeply felt that this was the decisiveness and coldness of the local powerful children.
"Ding Deyi, is this your Ding family's decision?" Zhen Yingjia calmed down at this time, "Do you think our Zhen family can't pass the test? Do you think this can completely separate and draw a clear line between the Ding family and our Zhen family? The court will Can you let your Ding family go?"
"Brother Ying Jia, brother Ying Yu, from the bottom of my heart, I don't want to do this. After all, we have been friends for so many years, and the cooperation between the two families is quite pleasant. Until now or in the future, I still hope that the Zhen family can I got through it, but I have to face reality, I’m afraid it will be difficult for the Zhen family to get through this time.”
Both Ding Deyi and his son still maintain their coolness and indifference. In this aspect alone, they are better than the Zhen brothers.
Zhen Yingyu's eyes were about to burst into flames, and he clenched his fists tightly. If he hadn't tried his best to suppress it, he really wanted to rush forward and punch the father and son.
After all, Zhen Yingjia is the helmsman of the Zhen family, so he should be much calmer. After Ding Deyi's words, he became calmer and calmer, "Very good, it seems that you don't think so highly of our Zhen family. Our Zhen family is really in danger, so thank you." You have good intentions, but the Zhen family and the Ding family have been dealing with each other for so many years, and just tens of thousands of taels of silver will completely draw a clear line, which may not be what you want."
"Brother Ying Jia, the Ding family will be able to manage their own affairs. I sincerely advise you to quickly find a way to face the reality." Ding Deyi stood up and cupped his hands, "The Zhen family and the Ding family are all in trouble now, and we can only You can choose to fly separately to see if you can pass this level, so I won’t bother you anymore and say goodbye, Zhongzhen, let’s go.”
After taking a few steps, Ding Deyi stopped again and turned around: "In addition, Miss Zhen's dowry has been sent back and will probably be at home soon. I'm sorry."
It wasn't until Ding and his son walked out of the door that Zhen Yingyu angrily rushed to his brother and roared in a low voice: "Brother, you just tolerate this old dog Ding Deyi humiliating our Zhen family..."
"Second brother, what time is it now? Do you still have time to care about the Ding family's attitude?" Zhen Yingjia pressed her hands on the armrests of the official chair with a ferocious look on her face, "The Ding family must have obtained some information from some channels that is not beneficial to us. The news about the Zhen family made them suddenly decide to make a clean break with us, but how can it be that easy? If our Zhen family can't pass the test, then don't even think about it, they will all be buried with our Zhen family!"
"Brother?!" Zhen Yingyu was shocked, "You mean..."
"Ding Deyi is right in what he said. We are a little too confident. We are too slow to notice that the situation has changed so quickly!" Zhen Yingjia held the headrest of the official hat chair tightly with both hands, as if she wanted to use both hands to support it. The weight of your own body, seeking support.
"Second brother, you immediately take another 200,000 taels of silver notes to Songjiang. Leave immediately and find Tang Tinghui. No, find him and go to the Lu family together. Dong Qichang is in Shandong and it's too late. Lu Yanzhang is in his hometown in Songjiang. Please see Lu Yanzhang anyway. Recalling the past friendship, I wrote three letters, one to Yuan Keli, one to Sun Chengzong, and one to Feng Keng..."
Zhen Yingyu raised his head and looked at his brother: "Eldest brother?"
“In addition, I went to Jia Yucun and asked him to attack with 50,000 taels of silver. I asked him to deliver Baochen and Baoyu to Feng’s house. I also offered another 300,000 taels of silver..."
"What?!" Zhen Yingyu was stunned: "Brother, why is this happening? Why is it happening like this?"
Zhen Yingjia said with a hint of sadness, "Second brother, Ding Deyi is right. This may be a life-and-death moment for our Zhen family. We are all too careless and too slow..."
"But Baochen and Baoyu..." Zhen Yingyu couldn't accept it.
"Hmph, do you hope to see Bao Chen and Bao Yu doing their best in the Jiaofang Department?" Zhen Yingjia said fiercely: "Let them go to Feng's house. If Feng Ziying accepts them, no matter what the outcome of the Zhen family, at least they will not After being insulted, Li Shouzhong did what he did, so why didn’t he intend to do so?…"
A snapping sound came from outside the door. Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu turned around at the same time. They saw a pale-faced Zhen Baochen and a shivering and disbelieving daughter Zhen Baoyu standing at the door. The teacup on the ground was smashed to pieces. Apparently they heard something. .
Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu both looked at each other, but they didn't expect that the two women would hear these words.
Before the two of them could speak, Zhen Baochen had already taken a deep breath and walked in, "Father, second uncle, and daughter saw Ding and his son leaving in a hurry. Baoyu went to see them off, but they ignored them, so daughter and Baoyu came over,... "
Zhen Yingjia closed her eyes, waved her hands helplessly, and said in a hoarse voice: "Did you and Bao Yu hear it?"
"I heard it all, but the Ding family divorced their daughter?" Zhen Baochen's body trembled slightly, and every word he spoke, his eyes were as deep as a deep pool, and his tone was cold and decisive.
Zhen Yingjia looked up at the roof and was silent for a long time.
Zhen Yingyu was about to speak but stopped, only sighing.
"Father hasn't answered his daughter's question yet, but the Ding family has divorced his daughter?..." Zhen Baochen stared at his father, and his voice became a little hoarse.
"Baochen, you can rest now. Daddy will find a job for you in the future..." Zhen Yingjia was interrupted by Zhen Baochen, "The Zhen family has really reached this point now. The imperial court wants to use the Zhen family's flag as a sacrifice, so that even the Ding family Are they going to cut off from our Zhen family and find another way out?"
Zhen Yingjia didn't want to answer this question, but in the end he nodded helplessly: "The situation is indeed not very good, but it is not to the point that Ding Deyi said. My father and your second uncle are still thinking of a solution, by the way. How do you know that the Ding family is looking for another way out?..."
"My father-in-law, Ding Deyi has been traveling around for a while. I heard that he went to Nanchang. Later, Ding Zhongzhen came to Nanjing again, but he avoided his daughter. Her daughter only found out accidentally. They have been sneaky for a while. Sui, he also sent people to the capital city,..."
Now that he knew that he was divorced by the Ding family, Zhen Baochen felt deeply humiliated and had nothing to hide.
Being divorced and making peace with each other are two different things. If a divorced woman has a stronger personality, she may even commit suicide in order to maintain her integrity. However, divorce is much gentler and she can even marry another person. However, it is almost impossible for a divorced woman to even marry someone else. Many of them will be rejected by their parents’ families.
"Sure enough!" Zhen Yingyu gritted his teeth, "But the Ding family has never told us..."
"Perhaps the people behind the Ding family instructed them not to tell us..." Zhen Yingjia said quietly: "Maybe they all hope that the big ship of the Zhen family will sink, so as not to implicate them, and the court will let them go. They really are What a good idea,..."
Zhen Baochen glanced at his father and then said, "What did your father mean when he mentioned what Li Shouzhong did just now?"
Zhen Yingjia and Zhen Yingyu exchanged glances, but neither of them could bring up the topic, which was really embarrassing.
“Dad, second uncle, it’s already the time, is there anything else you can’t say to your daughter?” Zhen Baochen glanced at Zhen Baoyu beside him.
Zhen Yingjia's expression changed several times, but she finally put her hand on her forehead, shook her head and said, "Li Shouzhong gave his two nieces to Feng Keng as concubines. It was Jia Hua, the prefect of Jinling, who helped in this matter in order to protect the Li family..."
"Feng Keng? But that Xiao Feng Xiuzhuan, Xiao Feng Supervisor? An in-law of the Jia family?" Zhen Baochen still knew Feng Ziying's name, and asked in surprise, "But how dare he accept Li Min and Li Qi? Isn't Li Shouzhong a person who is not pardoned by the court?" He doesn’t want his own future?”
