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

Early in the morning, the second wife knocked on the door and urged Su Bai to gather the wives of each room.

The Second Wife can be considered a meticulous person. From the plan to hire Su Bai to impersonate the eldest lady and help her swindle the Confucius Mansion's property, as an ordinary woman in a feudal family, she has considered every aspect carefully and meticulously. Although there are some loopholes, it is still remarkable.

However, her stupid side was exposed when she took over the position of head of the Confucius Mansion. Perhaps it was because she was too impatient?

Even if all the concubines were gathered together today, no one would obey her and there would be another quarrel.

Add to that people like Kong Man and Kong Dai who don't want Su Bai to hand over power, Su Bai feels that the Second Wife might be even worse today than last time.

There is no other way, he has to call her as she asks. Su Bai's penicillin will be packaged in a few days. Compared with the first batch of No. 1 medicine with handwritten labels, Su Bai regards this batch of medicine as his first official products.

If all goes well, the next batch of products will be produced every 5-7 days.

Recently, Su Bai can tolerate anything as long as it does not delay his drug production.

At around 8 o'clock, Zi Yan went to each room to notify them. Until 9 o'clock, there was still one person who had not arrived, and that was the fourth concubine.

"The fourth wife is not at home. I heard from the maid in her room that she went out early in the morning." Zi Yan said.

The third concubine kept winking at Su Bai, obviously she knew where the fourth concubine had gone.

"Then wait another half an hour, ladies?" Su Bai said, then walked out of the hall and came to the corner on the east side. After a while, the third concubine came and told Su Bai that the fourth concubine had gone to look for Kong Li.

"Has Kong Li arrived in Longxing?"

"He arrived last night, saying that he was going to get up early today to come to the Confucius Mansion. When the fourth concubine saw that he didn't come, she went to the county government to look for him.

The critical moment has arrived.

Su Bai believed that the power to be the head of the Kong family would definitely fall into the hands of the fourth concubine, and the second concubine would definitely become angry with Kong Li, which would result in Kong Li's completely unreasonable robbery.

But I can't confront Kong Li head-on, I have to get the rights I want, which are the backyard and the ancestral hall.

This shouldn't be difficult.

The backyard was originally where I lived. As for the ancestral hall, no one wanted to go there because there were so many tablets there and it was considered too gloomy.

Just wait, the real fun is coming.

"Do you think Kong Li can still control the affairs of our Kong family?" asked the third concubine.

"You should stand on the side of the fourth concubine." After Su Bai said this, he took a few quick steps back to the lobby.

When the second wife saw Su Bai coming in, she immediately said, "No need to wait, call the two housekeepers and settle this matter now!"

She pointed at Su Bai and said, "Madam, you make the announcement!"

Just as Su Bai was about to speak, Miss Kong Man stepped forward and said, "Wait a minute!"

She came to the second wife and said, "Second Aunt, since the Kong family's property belongs to my eldest sister-in-law, it must be a hard job to manage the household for her, right? Why are you so anxious?"

This question really stumped the second wife.

The fifth concubine also followed suit. She didn't understand why the second concubine was so active in becoming Su Bai's housekeeper. Was there some benefit from it?

"I'm doing this for the baby in the young lady's belly!" The second wife finally found a reason and scolded all the concubines. It was because of their trouble that the eldest young lady had been feeling very uncomfortable these days. She asked a doctor to see her yesterday and the fetus was unstable and she could not get angry anymore.

What a lie! Su Bai originally thought that his lying ability had been cultivated to a certain level, but now it seems that compared with the Second Wife, he is still a small fry.

I heard a "puff" and the eldest lady standing in the corner of the room laughed out loud.

"Manman, what are you laughing at?" asked the second wife.

"It's okay. I just remembered a joke. It has nothing to do with you. You guys continue your conversation."

However, Su Bai felt that there was something wrong with the eldest lady's smile. Could it be that she knew that she was not pregnant?

If that's the case, she must know my fake identity.

Su Bai quickly denied his own thoughts. This shouldn't be the case.

If she knew all the truth, why did she insist on herself becoming the head of the Kong family's property a few days ago?

Besides, what she had heard about her fake identity was nothing more than the small advertisement a while ago. No matter how many people doubted her, it was still just suspicion. This little storm was over.

"Su Bai, tell me what's going on!" The second wife urged again.

"Okay," Su Bai stood up and said, "My dear aunts, I told you last time that I need to focus on my pregnancy and not be involved in the affairs of the Kong Mansion."

Su Bai told everyone that in her eyes, all the aunts were relatives, and she could trust anyone who took the trouble to manage the Confucius Mansion for her.

She would agree and be grateful to the second wife, the fourth wife, or even any of the other wives, as long as they were willing to worry about the baby after she gave birth or a hundred days before the baby was born.

But after much thought, he felt that the Second Wife was old, and that before the master passed away, the Kong Mansion had always been managed by her and the housekeeper Kong. She had rich experience in managing household affairs and was deeply respected by everyone, so it would be more appropriate to hand it over to the Second Wife.

If there was a result from the last bean toss, I won’t talk about it. No one expected it to be a draw. In this case, it is her turn as the head of the family to have something to say.

Therefore, from now on, until the young master’s birth, full moon, and hundred days, all matters of the Kong Mansion will be managed by the second wife.

In fact, when Su Bai said the last sentence, he had already seen the fourth concubine coming to the steps outside the door out of the corner of his eye.

As soon as the voice fell, the fourth concubine came in with a laugh: "Full moon? Hundred days? My eldest young lady, why don't you wait until the young master gets married? You can rest for many years!"

"Is it your business?" the Second Wife asked the Fourth Wife.

"I can't control it, but there are people who can. Don't think that you can do whatever you want without the master!"

After the fourth concubine finished speaking, she turned and pointed to the door...

There was no one at the gate of Confucius Mansion except two guards.

Su Bai almost laughed out loud. Apparently, this was what the Fourth Concubine and Kong Li had agreed on. She would come in first, followed by Kong Li.

Unfortunately, the unrehearsed performance was flawed. When she pointed at the mansion door, Kong Li should have appeared immediately, but in the end, not even a shadow of him was seen.

"What are you referring to?" The second wife deliberately asked, "Who is coming?"

Kong Li and the Second Madam's cooperation was not bad. As soon as the Second Madam finished asking, he appeared outside the Kong Mansion.

Not only Kong Li, but also Kong Chen, and also... the greasy-haired and powdered Huang Wenchang.

This rascal seemed to have used more hair oil today, and his hair was shiny and wet in the sun.

Didn't Zhou Beiwang say that Kong Chen wouldn't be well for a while? Why is he back so soon?

Su Bai saw the Sixth Aunt clasped her hands in front of her chest. Was this excitement or amorous feelings?

Quietly pulled her cheongsam: "Be steady."

Kong Li stepped into the door first and asked loudly, "I heard that the eldest young lady doesn't plan to take the Kong family's property?"
