275 Interrogation (Part 2)

This country bumpkin had more good things in his hands than he expected. It seemed that the day he crashed on the road, the Heavens were giving him a sign.

“I’m not selling anything.”

Zhao Zhan laughed in bouts of anger. “It seems like you’ve studied well.”

“If you want to talk business, shouldn’t you know more about the other party?”

Lin Chenzhi’s face didn’t show any signs of panic.

“For example, I know that your wife suddenly appeared in Willow Village.”

He had sent someone to the chief to check their household registration.

His younger cousin’s maiden name was Yue Linlang. Because she had been pampered since she was born, her family had given her a nickname, Jiaojiao.

He had only taken a glance at it and didn’t care much.

Based on his mother’s understanding of his cousin, it was impossible for her to marry a bumpkin. There were many similar names in this world.

In addition, the household register clearly stated that Yue Jiaojiao was originally from Xiaohe Village. However, Lin Chenzhi felt as if the person standing in front of him was a gift from the Heavens.

The other party was already married and wasn’t qualified to be his wife, but it was good to take her in as a concubine.

“Lin Chenzhi, don’t forget where you’re stepping on. This is Wangshan, not Bei City where you can do as you wish.”

Although he didn’t know what kind of existence the Lin family held in Bei City, Lin Chenzhi must have been rampant at home for him to have developed such a personality.

“Thank you for your reminder,” Lin Chenzhi said with a look of pity. “It seems that our business negotiation today didn’t go well. I’ve never forced people to do things they don’t want to.”

Zhao Zhan was more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.

Lin Chenzhi’s visit today was only a test.

As for the business… Why would he spend money to buy something that he could rob?

If it wasn’t for his mother’s successful plan half a year ago, he would probably still be living a hard life.

“Madam Zhao, please forgive me for my rudeness just now.”

“You don’t need to apologize to me,” Yue Jiaojiao looked at the other party’s cold eyes, “You were rude to my husband. You should apologize to him.”

Lin Chenzhi’s lips stiffened.

He was a master from a scholarly family, and he was standing in front of a bumpkin like Zhao Zhan. How could her eyes not tell the good from the bad?

“Lin Chenzhi.” Zhao Zhan watched as Lin Chenzhi walked to the door. “It’s better to be careful of the things around you when you’re outside. You’re unfamiliar with the people and the place, and no one can help you if something happens.”

“Why would you say that?”

The two of them looked at each other, each having their own thoughts.

Lin Chenzhi pushed the door open and left.

Yue Jiaojiao returned to her senses and hugged Zhao Zhan. The man’s body in her arms was stiff, obviously too nervous from the interaction with Lin Chenzhi.

Yue Jiaojiao patted his back to comfort him. She buried her head in his arms and softly spoke.

“It’s alright. From what he said just now, I think he’s already investigated everything he can about us.

“Since he didn’t find out, it means that Lizheng had flawlessly written my identity card as yours.

“Also, I’m not his fiance.

“You just heard from him, the other person’s name was Yue Linlang. It has nothing to do with me, Yue Jiaojiao.”

Zhao Zhan held the person in his arms tightly, thousands of thoughts in his mind.

“Zhao Zhan, Xiangjun, and I have sent the pastries to Doctor Zhou. The things really were poisonous.

“I just ran into Chen Xiaolang on the street. I’ve already taken the things to Huai County with him and presented them to the County Magistrate.”

Li Xiangjun sensed that the atmosphere in the room seemed off and tugged on Fang Tianliu’s sleeve to signal him to stop chattering.

“Fang Tianliu, do you remember the martial arts master who taught me this year?”

“Of course, I remember.” Fang Fang Tianliu nodded and then said hesitantly, “Zhao Zhan, are you thinking about…?”

“Yeah.”

Yue Jiaojiao was confused by what the two of them were saying. “Zhao Zhan, what do you mean?”

Zhao Zhan squeezed her palm. “Before the new year, I happened to hear that Fang Tianliu’s mother was going to the slave trader’s place to choose a group of servants who had signed a slave contract. At that time, I asked Fang Tianliu to trouble his mother to help pick a few people. After that, we set off for Hekou County. I didn’t bring him back immediately. I heard from Fang Tianliu that his mother was very good at training her servants, so I let them stay in the Fang residence for the time being. They should come here now.”

Yue Jiaojiao was a little surprised that Zhao Zhan had actually thought of things so far ahead.
