Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

Just now, Sixth Auntie's body blocked Su Bai's view from the lobby door. Coupled with Sixth Auntie's passionate performance, Su Bai was so busy looking at her that he didn't notice what was happening outside the door.

When the Sixth Aunt took the watch box, her arm moved, allowing Su Bai to see Kong Dai.

That cold look makes people feel a chill at the bone.

Kong Dai may have noticed that Su Bai saw him, so he turned around and left.

"You should leave quickly. I'll take the watch." Su Bai didn't know why, but suddenly felt that Zhou Beiwang was in danger.

Kong Dai learned about the matter between himself and Liu Yiyan from the second young lady, but there should be no contact between him and Liu Yiyan except the time when she redeemed him and went down the mountain.

But Su Bai had a hunch that Kong Dai would most likely inform Liu Yiyan of Zhou Beiwang's return to Longxing City through unknown means and contacts, and ask him to kill Zhou Beiwang at Xishankou.

Zhou Beiwang was a little confused by Su Bai's change from refusing to accept the watch to accepting it so readily.

"Why are you asking me to go faster?"

"Someone wants to kill you, it's not too late to leave now!"

"Liu Yiyan?" Zhou Beiwang didn't care at all: "I didn't take it seriously last time and fell into his ambush. If he dares to play with me at Xishankou again this time, I won't be polite to him!"

When it comes to bragging, each man is better than the other.

"Let's go quickly. It's better to have less trouble than more. Okay, I beg you."

The Sixth Auntie interrupted again: "Young Madam is worried about you and is afraid that something might happen to you. You should listen to her and don't let her worry!"

"Okay," Zhou Beiwang stood up and said goodbye after hearing what the Sixth Aunt said: "Then I..."

It was the Sixth Concubine who spoke for Su Bai again: "After the Sanlong Office is established and the matter of the Kong Mansion is settled, Su Bai will go to Linhua to see you!"

Zhou Beiwang left. He did not listen to Su Bai and leave Longxing quickly. Instead, he left Kong Mansion and went into the camp opposite.

"Who wants to kill Zhou Beiwang?" The Sixth Aunt asked Su Bai.

Su Bai angrily said to her: "If you know too much, you will be silenced. This day is coming soon!"

"Alas," the Sixth Concubine seemed not to have heard what Su Bai said: "Tell me, am I destined to be someone's concubine in my previous life? Not only that, but I am also destined to be the Sixth Concubine?"

"What?" Su Bai didn't understand and asked again.

It turned out that Huang Wenchang had already married five wives, and the sixth concubine married him, and she was still the sixth concubine.

This made Su Bai laugh so hard that he fell over. The Sixth Concubine was really a freak. She had diarrhea twice in the middle of the night and encountered two major events. She became the Sixth Concubine after getting married and became the Sixth Concubine again after remarrying.

Huang Wenchang had already clearly proposed to the Sixth Concubine that he wanted to take her as his concubine, but the Sixth Concubine was just being coy and didn't agree.

"By the way, as a government official, can Huang Wenchang marry so many wives?" Su Bai asked.

The Sixth Aunt told Su Bai that the Criminal Law of the Republic of China stipulated that bigamy would be sentenced to prison, but that referred to marrying two wives, and a concubine was simply a concubine in the past. A concubine is a concubine, and a wife is a wife, so marrying a concubine does not count as bigamy.

Su Bai was stunned. Is there such a thing?

No wonder there were so many concubines during the Republic of China.

Seeing that Su Bai refused to tell her who wanted to kill Zhou Beiwang, the Sixth Aunt had to leave. Before leaving, she said to Su Bai, "The Second Miss can't disappear forever, can she? I warn you, you can't hand over the Kong Mansion to the Second Madam!"

Su Bai's concerns about Zhou Beiwang's safety were unnecessary.

Zhou Beiwang stayed in the camp for half a day before leaving. After learning that Zhou Beiwang had safely left Xishankou and returned to Linhua, Su Bai felt that he was too nervous.

She shouldn't have suspected that Kong Dai was in contact with Liu Yimian. The only person Kong Dai could contact was Yang Huasen. Now Yang Huasen's insider in the city had been eliminated, and Yang Huasen was defeated and his whereabouts were unknown. Kong Dai couldn't even find him now.

……

The second wife did not cause trouble for Su Bai anymore, nor did she come to ask about the second young lady. After taking the 1000 yuan given to Xu Laohei, she concentrated on reconciling the accounts with the accountant Mr. Sun, and waited until December 12st when she would officially take over the Kong Mansion.

The day has finally come.

The shopkeepers of the three large branches from other places, Qingdao, Shanghai and Peking, rushed to Longxing last night and came to give an account to Su Bai early this morning.

More than a dozen other small branches in the province also arrived in Longxing before noon.

The profit this month was pretty good. Su Bai took two thousand yuan and left a few hundred yuan for the account that the second wife was about to take over.

Su Bai set up two large tables in the front lobby to entertain the managers of branches from all over the country, firstly to thank them for their support, and secondly to say goodbye to everyone.

Su Bai specially invited the second wife to come and meet with everyone to take over.

These were all elderly people in the Kong family, and the second wife knew most of them.

When Su Bai announced that from now on the entire Kong Mansion would be managed by the Second Madam, the shopkeepers of each branch stood up to congratulate the Second Madam. The Second Madam also toasted everyone in turn in high spirits. This marked the completion of the handover.

Su Bai also breathed a sigh of relief. She had already agreed with the Second Wife that from now on she would go through the back door of the Kong Mansion, lock all the doors leading from the backyard to the front yard and the east yard, and no longer have any contact with people from the Kong Mansion.

If anyone wants to see Su Bai out of nostalgia, please ask her to go out of the front door of the Confucius Mansion and go in through the back door to find Su Bai.

Half a year later, Su Bai left the Confucius Mansion and returned the backyard to the second wife.

The second wife agreed to all of them.

Seeing the Second Madam's happy expression, Su Bai felt a little reluctant in her heart, because she knew that the Second Madam was happy for nothing. Although Zhou Beiwang and the Sixth Aunt said that Kong Li would no longer be able to interfere in the affairs of the Kong Mansion in the next step, Su Bai still felt that Kong Li would definitely find a way to snatch the Kong Mansion for the Fourth Madam.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, Manager Wan of the Shanghai branch stood up to toast Su Bai and told him that he was old and would resign as manager of the Kong family business. He had just told the second wife about this and recommended a suitable candidate to her.

"Manager Wan, you are less than 50 years old, how come you are old?" Su Bai asked.

"Young Madam is really good at praising people. I'm already 55!" Shopkeeper Wan said that his son runs a small business in Shanghai, which has been developing well in recent years. He wants to quit his job and go over to help his son.

"Madam, if you need my help with anything in Shanghai, just let me know!" Manager Wan said, handing over a business card with his home address and phone number on it.

There were many telephones in the homes of wealthy people in Shanghai, but in Longxing City, there was not a single telephone. All information between the county government and the provincial government had to be transmitted by telegram.

"Okay, I'll have to trouble Mr. Wan when the time comes." Su Bai said this because he was thinking about the pharmaceutical factory that was going to be sold for 5 oceans.

If you have the chance, you must go to Shanghai. Even if you don’t buy or can’t afford that pharmaceutical factory, you can still buy some equipment and instruments that you are more comfortable with from the market.

The banquet lasted until around two o'clock in the afternoon, and Su Bai and the second wife saw everyone out of the Confucius Mansion.

Su Bai asked Kong Dai to notify Mr. Sun, the accountant, to bring the account book to the lobby for the final handover: "Uncle Kong, I have already decided on this matter. Don't say another word."

Kong Dai hit himself hard and went to find Mr. Sun.

Before Mr. Sun arrived, a group of uninvited guests arrived first. They were concubines from various rooms and the eldest daughter, Kong Man.

The third concubine took the lead and said, "Su Bai, the Kong family's property is not something you can give to anyone you want!"

The fourth concubine also stepped forward and said, "Second sister, you have been thinking about the Kong family's property for a long time. Tell me, how did you get Su Bai to hand over the property to you, and what did you promise her?"

Su Bai explained to everyone that she really couldn't manage the Kong Mansion, especially she couldn't afford to offend the concubines. What she gave to the Second Wife was only the management rights, to run the Kong Mansion on her behalf. She needed to concentrate on taking care of her pregnancy and giving birth to the child.

As she spoke, she patted her belly gently and said, "It's getting bigger every day. I really can't worry about it anymore."

This morning, Su Bai deliberately wore the thinnest of the three bellybands that the second wife had made for her. To outsiders, her belly was slightly bulging and she was beginning to show she was pregnant.

"That won't work either. Now that my second sister is in charge of the Kong Mansion, does what Su Bai promised us before still count?" The fifth concubine, who had never been very vocal, also stood up. What she was worried about was Su Bai's promise to give half of the dividends to each family.

At this time, Kong Dai appeared at the door with Mr. Sun.

"Go back! If you dare to pay the bill, I swear you will die a miserable death!" After the Fourth Madam said this fiercely, Kong Dai, who had originally disagreed with Su Bai paying the bill, hurriedly pulled Mr. Sun away.

"What on earth do you want to do, rebel?"

"You can rebel if you want. Don't think that the leverage you had against me before is still valid now?" The Fourth Concubine was so shameless that she almost revealed her relationship with Kong Li to the world.

The second wife understood the significance of this sentence and immediately suppressed the anger on her face.

She didn't know that the next step would be to establish the Sanlong Office and downgrade the Kongli Force to a security division. The Fourth Concubine said so, how could she not know the consequences?

"Let's decide by casting a bean roll!" suggested the Fifth Concubine.

What the Third Aunt said to me was right. Do we really need to hold democratic elections?

The second wife thought about it, maybe she felt she was sure. The eldest and second daughters each had a bean, and she felt they all belonged to her. She had the leverage over the third wife, so the bean was also hers, so she agreed.

"Su Bai doesn't count!" The fourth concubine thought that since Su Bai had handed over the management rights, the bean was gone.

Totally unreasonable.

Su Bai was too lazy to argue and just wanted to watch how they played out this farce.
