Whose little lady is so crazy?

Chapter 512 So that’s it
Hu Dongshan was thirty-seven years old. His family was in the silk business. They not only had shops in Xishan Town, but also had branches elsewhere, even in Jiaozhou.

Because he is good at management, knows how to employ people and is honest, his business is getting more and more prosperous.

Some people offered a high price to poach his manager, but failed.

Hu Dongshan came from a wealthy family, so naturally he wanted many sons and grandchildren. He had been married to his wife for many years and had six children, but they were all girls.

Therefore, his wife was no longer willing to share her husband with other women, but still helped him to take concubines with guilt. However, who would have thought that he would take three concubines in succession, and all of them gave birth to girls.

Hu Dongshan was quite reasonable at first. He said to let nature take its course. Those who were destined to have a son would definitely have one, and if not, that was also predestined.

However, as they grew older and their family business grew, the two elders in the family proposed to adopt one of the other brothers' children. Then, the brothers, who seemed to be in harmony on weekdays, actually started to scheme and fight over this.

After all, even if he is adopted out, he is still his own biological child. The property inherited by his son is equivalent to his own, isn't it?

Hu Dongshan is not a fool. After knowing these things, he felt very upset.

He was good at earning money and was usually generous to his brothers' families. He would give money to anyone who had problems.

However, it is one thing for him to volunteer, but it is another thing for him to be plotted against.

Once when he went to a shop in Jiaozhou, he met a friend who invited him to go to a flower house to drink and listen to music. Perhaps because he was bored, he drank a little too much and stayed overnight in the flower house.

The prostitute who served him was also able to seize the opportunity. After just one night of lovemaking, she was redeemed by Hu Dongshan and brought back to his mansion.

Yet, this concubine of the lowest status gave birth to a son for Hu Dongshan.

Hu Dongshan was naturally very happy. Regardless of how low the status of his son's biological mother was, at least he had a son.

So he named his son Hu Jiawang and raised him with his wife Bao.

The whole family dotes on this child in every way.

But who could have thought that this child would really bring prosperity to the Hu family. When he was four years old, Bao became pregnant again and gave birth to a son.

The wife gave birth to a son. Although he was not Hu Dongshan’s eldest son, he was his legitimate son.

Hu Jiawang, the son of the concubine, was restored to his status as a concubine's son. Although he was still raised by Bao's side, she still doted on him.

However, even if Hu Dongshan and his wife did not treat their illegitimate son badly just because they had a legitimate son, the original favor had been dispersed, and the illegitimate child must have felt a huge psychological gap.

I feel that all this is because of my younger brother's birth, who took away everything that should have belonged to me.

Originally, he was fine, but he had a few temper tantrums. After being scolded by Hu Dongshan, he took advantage of the fact that no one was around his brother and strangled him. Once, Bao saw him and told Hu Dongshan. After giving him a severe lesson, she sent him back to his biological mother.

After that, his treatment became worse and worse.

Originally there were two maids and two servants serving him personally, but now only one servant is left.

Last spring night, the six-year-old son Hu Jiarong secretly climbed over the wall and left the mansion. When the mansion found him, they went out to look for him. They found the child unconscious in a remote alley nearby. Not only was his head smashed, but his knees and ankles were also injured. His life was saved, but with a broken kneecap and a fractured ankle, even if the Hu family had money to hire a good doctor, the child was still disabled.

After the child woke up, Hu Dongshan learned from him that the youngest son accidentally heard his illegitimate brother telling others that there was a circus troupe in town and there seemed to be some iron flower performers in the evening, which was quite beautiful.

It was because no matter how much Hu Dongshan doted on his child, he had already set a rule that the child was not allowed to leave the house after dark, so the child would sneak out by climbing over the wall.

When Hu Dongshan wanted to interrogate him, he couldn't find anyone. The illegitimate son was missing, and along with him, several sets of clothes, as well as his biological mother's savings and jewelry were also missing.

What's not to understand? The one who murdered the youngest son was the illegitimate son Hu Jiawang.

Although Hu Dongshan did not report to the authorities, he offered a reward. If anyone could find the whereabouts of the bastard and capture him and bring him to him, he would give him a reward of one thousand taels.

However, a year has passed since the incident and no one knows where Hu Jiawang escaped to.

Although the portrait in Hong Xiaoduo's hand was a bit crudely painted, the facial features matched those of Aping, and the similarity was very high!
Aping started to behave abnormally after hearing that they were going to Jiaozhou. And based on what Aping had done behind Hong Xiaoduo's back over the past few days, Hong Xiaoduo was basically certain that Aping was most likely this Hu Jiawang.

Since this was the case, of course he was afraid to go to Jiaozhou.

His actions in the past few days also proved the reason why Aping didn't want to go to Jiaozhou but was not in a hurry to leave: because of greed!

Now that she has determined what has happened and knows what kind of person he is, Hong Xiaoduo no longer wants to let the situation continue to develop.

This young man with a vicious mind should be tolerated for a few more days. Hong Xiaoduo is afraid that he will do something to hurt those children.

He could be so cruel to his own brother out of jealousy, let alone the other six people including Tianshu who have no blood relationship with him.

Although she has been very powerful since she came to this dynasty, even so, she cannot guarantee that she can control everything well.

Especially when it comes to these children, Hong Xiaoduo doesn't want to let them get hurt because of her blind self-confidence, not even a little bit!
So, just give him a push, resolve the matter as soon as possible, and eliminate this potential source of instability as soon as possible.

At dinner time, the rain outside stopped, so Hong Xiaoduo took everyone to a restaurant outside to eat.

While eating, Hong Xiaoduo deliberately mentioned several rumors she had heard about Jiaozhou before, the story of the child bitten by a mad dog, and the story of the child falling into the well, and then said: "It seems that there was something else, but with my poor memory, why can't I remember it?"

Then he looked at Lan Zechen and said, "Master, didn't you say yesterday that someone from the other side would come to pick you up? He should be here tomorrow. When he comes, we can ask him to tell us some interesting stories about Jiaozhou."

Lan Zechen was suddenly called out, and no one knew what she was up to.

I thought to myself, little aunt, what are you going to do? At least let me know in advance so we can have a discussion first, okay?
But he still cooperated with her and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, but you treat my man as a storyteller, so you can't listen to him for free, you have to give him some money to moisten his throat."

Hong Xiaoduo also smiled when he heard this, "Okay, okay."

Others didn't notice it, but she did. After hearing these words, Ah Ping looked a little uncomfortable, and his hand was shaking slightly...

For me, the happiest thing in the hot summer is to eat soft and sticky corn. Nothing else. I sweat when I move. It’s hot and stuffy when it rains. It’s hot when it doesn’t rain. In short, it’s hot!
