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

Probably because Su Bai had to give a monthly allowance of 100 yuan to each room and was also responsible for the schooling of the third and fourth young ladies, the fifth concubine completely stood on Su Bai's side. According to her, no matter whether she was pregnant with a child or not, Su Bai was still the eldest young master's wife, and she was married to the Kong family in a formal ceremony when the master was still alive. So Su Bai would always be a member of the Kong family.

Moreover, whether or not there are children only affects the inheritance of the Kong family’s property. The property is gone, so what does it matter whether or not there are children?

The fifth concubine comforted Su Bai again: "Don't be too sad."

Seeing that no one expressed an opinion, Su Bai told everyone that since the Fifth Aunt suggested changing the name Su's stinky tofu to Kong's stinky tofu, she also felt that the name Su's family was not smooth, so she would change it to Kong's family.

But she had to let everyone know that although it was called Kongfu Stinky Tofu, this business did not belong to the Kongfu, but to her, Su Bai.

Don't worry about this small business that can only earn you some pocket money like before.

In addition, Su's Modern Trading Company will open soon, and this business has nothing to do with the Confucius Mansion from the inside out.

Su Bai believed that no matter how the business of this company was going, no one present would care about it, with only one exception, and that was the second wife.

When Su Bai had no money, her leverage over Su Bai was no longer effective, but once she had money, she would start to have ideas.

However, with the Second Young Lady around, Su Bai was not afraid of her. The worst that could happen was that he would be upset for a few days occasionally.

Su Bai reiterated that no matter what happy or ugly things happened in the Confucius Mansion in the future, they were not allowed to tell outsiders, and the shame had to be kept within our own family.

"For example, the second wife and..." Su Bai pointed to the west, referring to the relationship between the second wife and Xu Laohei, but the other concubines didn't know about this.

When the Second Madam heard what Su Bai said, she immediately stood up. Before she could say anything, Su Bai started talking about the Third Madam and the Sixth Madam: "The Third Madam and the Sixth Madam also had similar stories. From now on, no one is allowed to mention them again!"

The second and third wives seemed relieved, but the sixth wife was not convinced: "I didn't do anything!"

However, Mrs. Six was really Su Bai's friend, and she immediately said, "Okay, don't mention it!"

The Fifth Madam looked at the Second Madam and asked, "So the Second Sister also had it...Okay, let's not talk about it anymore."

Su Bai emphasized once again that we must unite against the outside world and not think that Kong Li and the Fourth Madam will let us go if we give up all our property. When our lives become better, they will have evil intentions again.

Despite numerous warnings and instructions, Su Bai could only do this much.

Su Bai didn't believe that they would keep the secret forever, so he just asked for a few months.

The entire west courtyard, from the west front courtyard to the west third courtyard, dozens of rooms in these three courtyards will all be used for mold fermentation. It is impossible for these ladies to not notice it at all. Even if they lied and said that these three courtyards were rented out, as long as they were careful, it would not be difficult for them to find the flaws.

Su Bai has a new idea. She wants to earn 50,000 yuan as quickly as possible. After she has the money, she has two options: one is to build a factory in Chongqing, and the other is to buy the Far East Fahua Pharmaceutical in Shanghai.

It takes time to build a factory in Chongqing, and it also takes time to purchase new equipment.

It would be different if he bought the Fahua Pharmaceutical Company. He could start production immediately. The reason why Su Bai had this idea was that he remembered that the Japanese army did not enter the French Concession after occupying Shanghai. The Japanese army actually entered the French Concession after the outbreak of the Pacific War, which was after the end of 1941.

His top priority now was to earn money and escape from Longxing, so that he could continue production in Shanghai. Without the existence of the devil Kong Li, he could make preparations to build a factory in Chongqing in an orderly manner starting from entering Shanghai. There were still nearly five years before the Japanese army occupied the French Concession, which was enough time.

However, this is just an idea. During the days since he came to the Confucius Mansion, something unexpected happened every three days and an accident every five days. Su Bai's ideas have changed countless times. Who knows if he can carry it out?

In the evening, Su Bai asked the two cooks to heat up the leftovers from lunch and stir-fry a few new dishes. He and the ladies set up another table in the front yard lobby.

Su Bai discovered that these concubines might have been taught a lesson by the Fourth Madam some time ago, as no one complained about the table full of leftovers.

The eldest and second daughters basically didn't speak to anyone except for occasionally whispering a few words to each other so no one could hear them.

This made Su Bai very uncomfortable. She was sure that they knew the inside story of her pregnancy, at least part of it.

During the meal, the door of the lobby, which was usually open, was closed. Su Bai didn't want to see the hateful Captain Zhao walking around in the yard, and he would look here from time to time.

After dinner, everyone went back to their own courtyards. Su Bai asked everyone to go to bed early, but she herself couldn't fall asleep.

I kept looking at my watch until after twelve o'clock, when I fell into a drowsy sleep without even taking off my clothes.

……

A gunshot woke Su Bai up. She looked at her watch and it was 4:10.

Maybe it was because he was too tired during the day. Su Bai always had something on his mind. No matter how late he went to bed, he would always wake up when needed, without even setting an alarm clock.

But today, it's too late.

The second tone, the third tone...

The gunshots came from the front yard, which meant that Liu Yiyan had already entered the Kong Mansion and started fighting with Captain Zhao.

But the rhythm of the gunshots didn't seem like the two sides were exchanging fire; the shots were fired calmly.

"Madam, a fight has broken out. What should we do?" Zi Yan asked.

"Go to each courtyard and inform them not to come out and stay indoors!"

As soon as Su Bai got off the ground and walked out of the main hall, the Sixth Concubine and the eldest daughter came running over from the neighboring courtyard: "Su Bai, someone broke into the Kong Mansion!"

"Why are you panicking? Captain Zhao is protecting us in the front yard. Don't be afraid!"

While they were talking, the second, third and fifth wives, along with several young ladies, hurriedly ran into the backyard.

"What should we do? There's fighting happening from the west gate!" Su Bai also heard it. The gunfire from the west gate was even more frequent.

There were sporadic gunshots not only at the west gate, but also on the streets.

"They must be bandits! Let's run out the back door?" The Fifth Concubine's desperate solution was immediately agreed upon by everyone.

Damn it, I didn't think of this when I was planning.

There was no reason for Su Bai not to take everyone and run away through the back door at this time. The Fifth Concubine had already said that since the bandits had broken into the Confucius Mansion, they were coming for us. We should go out the back door and find an alley to hide for a while.

She was smart enough to know that it was not safe to run around in a city with gunfire everywhere.

As soon as Su Bai asked Zi Yan to open the back door, two long spears came in: "Stay still and don't go out!"

There were two people standing outside the door, one of them was Tietou!

Okay, I didn’t think of this, but Yang Huasen and Liu Yiche thought of it.

At this moment, two more men with guns appeared at the door leading to the front yard: "Listen, everyone in the Kong Mansion, our Commander-in-Chief Ma wants you all to gather in the front yard!"

Another said: "Commander-in-Chief Ma has ordered that you will not be harmed, but if anyone dares to resist, they will be killed without mercy!"

Who is Commander-in-Chief Ma?

It's probably Liu Yiyan's doing again, right?
