On the wedding day, my wife was abnormal

Although it was summer, the well water was icy cold. Lin Zhen sneezed several times in a row and sat on the bed, wrapping himself up like a polar bear.

There were sounds of laughter coming from the distant wing room. Without thinking, he knew that it must be Liu Shuyao and Xiao Cui secretly laughing at him.

Two little girls, when I recover, I will kill you right here and there.

After a quick meal, Lin Zhen lay down and fell asleep.

In the afternoon, Hou Chun came back from outside and brought back the news that the envoys from Chu State had arrived in Beijing.

"Brother Hou."

In the bedroom, Huanbi stood up and greeted with a smile.

Hou Chun was a little shy about this name, as if he had never been called that by such a beautiful girl before. He scratched the back of his head and said, "Miss Huanbi..."

Lin Zhen was woken up, so he just sat up and drank a bowl of tea to calm himself down.

Hou Chun stood in front of him and reported, "Sir, the Chu State delegation has arrived in Beijing. This time, they are led by their Qingqiu Princess Chu Xiling, and are staying at the Zuixian Tower of the Gu family."

Lin Zhen raised his eyebrows slightly: "Zuixianlou? Why not stay at the Royal Inn?"

Huanbi was very considerate and poured a cup of tea for Hou Chun as well.

Hou Chun thanked them repeatedly and then said, "The posthouse is full with envoys from other countries. Besides, Chu Xiling is a princess of the royal family, her status is too high, and the posthouse is in disrepair and unworthy of her status. That's why Prime Minister Gu arranged for them to stay in Zuixian Tower."

"Is there something fishy going on between the two families?"

"This...I don't know."

Now two things don't make sense.

The first question is why there are so many envoys from other countries that the inns are full.

Murong Yan has only been on the throne for less than a year. Is she really that powerful? Or is someone secretly manipulating this and deliberately bringing this group of people together?

Second, Gu Yunting actually arranged for Chu Xiling to live in his own restaurant.

This matter is very suspicious.

In the original book, Gu Beichen teamed up with the State of Chu to kill Lin Zhenxian.

Could it be that their cooperation starts now?

Lin Zhen tried hard to think about the plot of the original book.

He remembered that Princess Qingqiu Chu Xiling was the undisputed second most important person in Gu Beichen's harem, and also the most respected concubine besides the principal wife Murong Yan.

Murong Yan's birthday banquet was the first time she showed her talent. During the banquet, she set up many schemes and posed many problems, intending to embarrass the Daqian delegation.

Just when Daqian needed to cede land and pay compensation, Gu Beichen appeared like a god sent from heaven, answering three questions fluently. He not only cleverly resolved the crisis, but also exposed the conspiracy of the Chu State, making Chu Xiling's plan go to waste and return empty-handed.

From then on, Chu Xiling and Gu Beichen started to compete with each other. They clashed frequently, and fell in love with each other in the sparks of their collision. Later, they secretly decided to spend their lives together.

After the fall of the Chu State, Gu Beichen brought Chu Xiling back to Daqian and made her a member of his harem, and the two began to live a shameless life.

When Lin Zhen saw this, he couldn't help but wonder, does a princess who doesn't even care about the destruction of her own country really exist?

No matter what, I want to take away all of Gu Beichen’s luck, and Chu Xiling is also one of my targets.

Lin Zhen's eyes were deep, and he had a plan in mind.

He slowly looked at Hou Chun and asked softly, "Have you buried your mother?"

"Yes, thank you, Your Highness. Otherwise, I really don't know what to do." Hou Chun's voice was sincere and relieved.

"You are mine. I will help if there is anything going on at home. Where is your sister?"

"My sister has been safely brought back to the palace by my subordinates. Miss Huanbi has been very considerate and has settled her in the Jingxin Garden to serve the prince."

"You didn't encounter any obstacles?"

Mentioning this, Hou Chun couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Hahahahahaha, at first the rich businessman was very reluctant and tried to make excuses. But then he heard about the prince's reputation and immediately let him go."

"Hehehe." Lin Zhen also laughed.

A businessman is a businessman. No matter which family he belongs to, he would not dare to go against me even if he had ten times the courage.

"That's good. Your sister, I will find him a good family and will not treat him unfairly."

"Yes, thank you, Prince!"

As they were talking, the sound of two men laughing came from outside the door.

Looking through the paper window, Lin Zhen saw Lu Dehao and the fat man whom he had not seen for many days.

How come these two brothers are hanging out together again?

"Fat Master, you didn't get to lick her! Yanlai Tower has a new courtesan. Her figure is as light as willow catkins. She spins lightly on the stage and dances gracefully. She is simply a fairy in a painting. Especially her waist, which is so thin that it seems that it can be broken with a slight pinch! It makes people feel itchy when they see it. Not to mention her little feet, which are clean, white, small and exquisite, and as pink as newly opened petals. The little feet are so small and pink, it makes me feel itchy!"

"Look at your lack of ambition. You spend all your money on women? Can you learn from your fat uncle? Besides being a bitch, your fat uncle is also good at martial arts. When I go out, I can even clear the way for my big brother!"

"Fatty, how can I afford to hire her? Yesterday was the first time that courtesan came out to receive clients, and the bidding went from fifty taels to six hundred! Damn, in the end, the grain merchant Zhao Dabao got the bargain!"

Speaking of this, Lu Dehao beat his chest and stamped his feet: "That guy is uglier than you. I can't even imagine what it would be like if he was on top of the oiran! What a pity."

"Fuck you, who the hell are you calling ugly? You've been itching for a few days, haven't you?"

Lin Zhen looked at the two brothers entering the house like little hooligans and shouted unhappily.

"Can you two be a little more serious? Don't you have anything else to talk about except women?"

"Hey hey hey, big brother!"

Lu Dehao came closer with a playful smile, winked and said, "Brother, how about we go to Yanlai Tower tonight? Let's go and work as brothels together!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhen's lips curled up into a helpless smile, and he jokingly said, "I hadn't seen you for a few days and I thought you were dead. What's wrong? Are you not afraid of the waxberry sore anymore?"

When Lu Dehao heard this, he shrank his neck in fear, his face changed slightly, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "Hey, big brother, don't scare me. How can that thing be so easy to get?"

The fat man threw a bag of money on the ground and said to Lin Zhen, "Brother, this is Dehao's joining money."

"Well, Huanbi, ask someone to come and move the money back. By the way, tell the kitchen to prepare a few more delicious dishes and heat up some good wine."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Huanbi called a few maids, and the four of them worked together to move the silver weighing dozens of kilograms to the inner room.

Lin Zhen asked the two brothers to sit down with a smile on his face.

Somehow, he felt particularly good whenever he saw Fatty and Lu Dehao.

"Sit down! The carriage issue has been put on the agenda. I will give you the dividends monthly."

The fat man waved his hand proudly, with a righteous look on his face: "What's the point of distributing dividends? As long as Big Brother is happy, that's all that matters."

"That's right, five hundred taels of silver is nothing to us!"

Lin Zhen likes to watch the two brothers bragging.

Dehao's family is well-off, so these five hundred taels are really nothing, but Lin Zhen knows the situation of the fat man's family very well.

If I ask my family for five hundred taels, how many unequal treaties would I have to sign to get that?

Thinking of this, Lin Zhen felt warm in his heart.

What is a friend? There is a big difference between having 100 million yuan but only lending you 10,000 yuan and having only 10,000 yuan but willing to lend you 20,000 yuan.

It is precisely because of this that Lin Zhen would think of them both when good things happened.

In fact, Lin Zhen could have used the Gu family's stolen money to acquire various industries in Beijing, but there was no need for that.

Between acquiring them and letting them go bankrupt, Lin Zhen prefers the latter because his own costs will be greatly reduced.

Well, you have to eat one bite at a time and do things one step at a time. First, build up the taxi company, and then gradually expand into other industries.

Lin Zhen asked, "Tomorrow is His Majesty's birthday. Have you prepared a gift?"

"These were all prepared by our family. We younger generations have no right to get involved. But I think the Chu delegation is coming with great momentum this time, and they might cause some trouble." Lu Dehao sat on a stone bench, chattering.

The fat man laughed disdainfully and said, "Pfft, you know nothing. Big Brother hasn't even spoken yet and you're already analyzing it."

"As the saying goes, there's no good meeting. The Chu delegation is definitely up to something. That's why they're here. I was just wondering if we can find a way to prevent Gu Beichen from showing up at the birthday party."

"Brother, what do you mean? Please explain clearly."

"I need your help to prevent Gu Beichen from attending His Majesty's birthday banquet."

"Why?"

Both brothers were surprised.

It is true that the Lin family and the Gu family are political rivals, but they are going to celebrate the birthday, so there is no reason to stop them.

Lin Zhen didn't want to explain these things, and he couldn't explain them: "Just tell me whether you can help or not."

"But brother, you can't let us rob people in broad daylight, right?" Lu Dehao felt a little guilty. After all, the Gu family was something he could never reach.

Fatty Wang shrugged it off: "Why not? Not to mention a mere Gu Beichen, even the king of heaven, Fatty, can rob him with just Big Brother's order!"

Lin Zhen thought about it and felt that there was indeed something wrong with this matter.

It would be fine if they are not discovered, but if Gu Beichen exposes them, it will be difficult for these two brothers to get along in the future.

Lin Zhen said helplessly: "Alas, I didn't want to use that trick, but it seems I can't avoid it."

"Brother, you don't want my sister-in-law to..." Lu Dehao made a very indecent gesture in a daze.

Lin Zhen nodded: "Yes, it's Liu Shuyao!"
