Strange Tales of the Ghosts - Chapter 317

[Chapter 317 Living Corpse (14)]

It is impossible for the third concubine to give Hongxiu a satisfactory answer, and it is impossible for Hongxiu, a brothel girl, to go to Geng’s house to make trouble, so she shirks that she needs to ask Geng Jinhua about it, and let Hongxiu go back first and wait for the news. Although Hongxiu knew that this was the delay of the third concubine, she couldn’t force it. If she really made a scene, no one would look good, and she would not go well when she entered Geng’s house, so she left obediently. After Hongxiu left, the third concubine didn’t have the mood to go to the temple to offer incense, so she hurried back to Geng’s house and pulled Geng Jinhua into her room.

“Mother, what are you doing?” Geng Jinhua was reading a book when he was pulled into the room inexplicably, not knowing what the third concubine wanted to do.

The third aunt walked back and forth uneasy. After a while, she asked in a low voice, “Tell you honestly, have you ever been to a brothel?”

“…Yes, but I…” Geng Jinhua’s memory was not so bad Well, of course I still remember the first time I entered the brothel in my life.

When the third concubine heard this, she was immediately discouraged and sat down on the stool without saying a word. Geng Jinhua hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Mother?”

“You still ask mother, it’s mother who asked you, how can you enter that kind of place? And provoke a woman like that?” The third concubine got angry as soon as she thought of Hongxiu’s arrogance, she didn’t want to let such a woman into Geng’s house, and it would be impossible if she didn’t take herself seriously.

Geng Jinhua vaguely knew what was going on, so he asked softly, “Does Qingfeng know?”

“You still know about Qingfeng? Even if Qingfeng doesn’t know it now, it won’t be able to hide it in a few days.” The third concubine saw that Hongxiu’s stomach has at least three months of life. If she doesn’t reply to her earlier, that woman will come again. Not only Qingfeng, but also Master Geng will know.

Geng Jinhua knew that he was sorry for Qingfeng, but he really didn’t mean it, so he nodded and said, “Sometimes, I’ll make compensation for Qingfeng.”

“You, you, it’s not a small matter, the child in that woman’s belly is a big deal! “This is what the third aunt is too worried about.

When Geng Jinhua heard that the woman had a child, he thought, could it be his own? Busy recalling that day, it is true that when he woke up, he was completely naked, but he had no idea what he did or did that night, so he was a little confused: “How could this be?”

“Now we have to make up our minds, this is a thousand Don’t let your father know.” The third aunt looked at her son with love and pity, and didn’t want her son to make mistakes again and again. The last time Qingfeng happened, Master Geng calmed down his anger. Master Geng.

Geng Jinhua had never encountered such a thing before, so he was out of ideas for a while, so he quickly asked: “Then what should we do now? Mother.”

“In my opinion, that woman is only interested in the Geng family’s family business and is just greedy for some money. , you take some money from me and send it to her, so that she can take care of the child in her stomach.” Although the third concubine really wants a grandson, she is not lucky to be the kind of dusty woman.

Geng Jinhua nodded quickly, he didn’t have any feelings for the woman, he couldn’t even talk about familiarity, and if he wanted him to suddenly recognize a child, he absolutely couldn’t do it, so he agreed with his mother’s approach.

Two days later, Geng Jinhua took several hundred taels of silver from the third concubine and went to the ‘Yihong Courtyard’. For some reason, as soon as he entered that place, Geng Jinhua felt uncomfortable. After asking his mother, he found Hongxiu’s. In the room, despite these entanglements, Geng Jinhua kept some courtesy and knocked on the door.

“Come in.” The man inside responded.

Geng Jinhua pushed open the door and went in. Seeing Hongxiu sitting beside the bed, busy with something, he walked in and saw that he was actually sewing children’s clothes, so he said coldly, “Don’t sew, it won’t even be needed.”

“Why do you say that?” Hongxiu didn’t seem to be surprised by Geng Jinhua’s arrival. The reason why she wasn’t surprised was that after Geng Jinhua entered the door of Yihong Courtyard, someone came up to tip off.

Geng Jinhua didn’t want to say more, so he took out the money and threw it on the bed. “This money is enough for the rest of your life.”

“What do you mean?” Hongxiu stared at Geng Jinhua.

Geng Jinhua was not interested in such a woman, and snorted coldly: “Don’t you just want money? Take it and make the child, and the money is all yours.”

“Do you think I’m just for your Geng family? Money?” Hongxiu had a pitiful look, and her performance was as affectionate as the sea. This is a life skill as a brothel woman, and she can laugh at people and cry at any time.

“No matter what you are for, the Geng family can’t possibly want a woman like you as a wife.” Geng Jinhua didn’t even look at Hongxiu. After speaking, he left.

When Hongxiu saw Geng Jinhua leave, she was so angry that she poked a hole in the clothes she bought for the child, and said unwillingly, “Geng Jinhua, wait, I insist that you use a large sedan chair to marry me and enter the door!”

With the existence of a woman like Hongxiu, it is not so easy to make things pass. Although there has been silence for ten days and a half months, you must know that the backside of calm is turbulent waves.

On the fifth day of the eighth lunar month, just the day before Geng Jinhua was going to celebrate the birthday of Mr. Geng, someone from the government came and said that someone beat the drum and complained that it was Chen Shimei. The Geng family was shocked. How about it, but it’s a shame to say it out. Master Geng was so angry that his face turned blue, he patted the table and asked, “Beast, what’s going on?”

“Master, don’t be angry yet…” Mrs. 3 Comforting on the side.

After thinking about it, Geng Jinhua said everything: “It’s just like this, I never wanted to go to that kind of place to fool around. It was an accident that day.”

“Accident? Accidentally, that woman can conceive a child?!” The beard flew up in anger. “Everyone has gone to the government, where do you let my old face go?” The

third concubine knew the inside story, so she had to speak up and replied softly, “Master, I know this, I I ‘ve asked Jinhua to send some money to the woman.”

“Silver? Another silver? Do you think everything can be solved with money?” Master Geng stood up and spat out a mouthful of blood.

The eldest wife and the second wife, who were watching from the side, squeezed forward and asked with concern, “Master, are you all right?”

Master Geng was speechless. After waving his hand, he was sent back to his room to rest. Doctor As soon as he came, he said that Mr. Geng was attacking his heart and blood, and he needed to rest, so this matter fell on the third concubine again. The official people were waiting for words. How to deal with it depends on what the third concubine means.

The third concubine received the officials in the side hall, drank some tea and rewarded them with money, and then asked, “It’s not a trivial matter, I’m afraid it will take me a few more days to think about it. What do the officials think? ”

Mrs. Geng is right. This matter is about the reputation of the Geng family. I can’t be in a hurry. I will always make mistakes.” say.
