Chapter 124 Father and Son (Two Chapters in One)

Widow Liu?
Rely on home?

Zhao Shiqing.
loach
You people from Beijing really know how to have fun. A certain circle is really chaotic.

Letting Mrs. Cai go for the time being, the three men went straight to Widow Liu's house.

Don't mention it, no one knows a man better than his wife. Mrs. Cai was right. At this moment, Sun Hongbin and the widow Liu were having an affair and making love in broad daylight (no need to catch insects).

The three half-grown children blushed and wished they could cover their eyes.

Looking at Sun Hongbin's shameless appearance, it is true that as long as you are shameless, the only ones who will be embarrassed are others.

At Zhao Shiqing's command, Niu Qiu and Ling Bo moved swiftly and pinned the two men to the ground and beat them severely.

Sun Hongbin knew that the man was here to collect a debt. As soon as he opened his mouth to shout, the other party hit him even harder. He had no choice but to shut his mouth and let the fists fall on him.

Widow Liu fainted directly. Seeing that she was unconscious, Ling Bo stopped hitting her and threw her aside.

The fight was finally over, and Sun Hongbin lay on the ground like a dead dog, groaning.

Zhao Shiqing stepped on his thigh, and with a little force, Sun Hongbin grimaced in pain.

Zhao Shiqing looked down at him with a cold voice: "Do you know who our master is?"

Sun Hongbin had guessed long ago that these were not ordinary thugs, but guards of a wealthy family.

Moreover, this is a woman.

There are not many families in the capital who can have female guards or maids.

Only women of extremely noble status would have female guards or maids around them.

"Bao, Bao, Qing, Qing, Madam Hou."

Sun Hongbin tried hard to say the name in a calm tone, but his mouth had its own thoughts, and he said these six short words with gritted teeth.

Zhao Shiqing snorted coldly and loosened the force on his feet: "You are not stupid."

Sun Hongbin managed to force out a smile that was uglier than crying: "Lady, lady, please, please tell the old lady, I, I, I dare not, I really dare not!"

If he had known he would get beaten, he would never have dared to bring up Sun Lingzhi in the Jinbao Casino.

Zhao Shiqing: "You don't dare anymore? You are not the Marquis's father-in-law now?"

Sun Hongbin raised his uninjured left hand and slapped himself in the face: "I am a worthless person, not even worthy of carrying shoes for the Marquis."

Zhao Shiqing: "Since it's a rotten life, there's no need to live. Brother, get to work!"

Upon hearing this, Loach quickly blocked Sun Hongbin's mouth and put him into a sack.

When they came, they looked at the terrain and found that there was an abandoned dry well behind Widow Liu's house. It had not been filled in and was full of garbage.

Sun Hongbin only felt his body rising into the air, and the next moment he lost control and fell straight down.

The place where his body fell was not hard, but Sun Hongbin still fainted because he was scared.

When he came to, he was completely black and had no idea how long he had been unconscious.

But one thing is certain, he is still alive!

Although Sun Hongbin was beaten badly, the miraculous thing was that his limbs were not broken and he did not suffer any internal injuries.

He found that the three guards did not tie his hands and feet. They were so careless!

Maybe it wasn't carelessness, but in their eyes, Sun Hongbin was already a dead man.

There is not much need to be on guard when it comes to the dead.

Sun Hongbin reached out and took the rag out of his mouth. Now he could make a sound, but he didn't dare to shout, as he was worried that those people were still nearby.

He could only use his fingernails to dig and his teeth to bite, and finally he made a big hole in the sack and crawled out!
It took him a while to figure out where he was.

It’s that abandoned well!
He sat in the well, looking at the sky at the mouth of the well, until he heard the sound of children laughing and playing, then he bravely shouted for help.

Sun Hongbin was rescued by a few children. He ran back to Widow Liu's house naked and covered with a sack. He saw Widow Liu using eggs to reduce the swelling on her face. When she saw him come in, she was shocked: "You are not dead? You are still alive?"

Sun Hongbin cursed: "Those three bastards, I will cut them into pieces one day."

Widow Liu snorted. She didn't believe it.

She was actually pretending to be unconscious. She heard the entire conversation between Sun Hongbin and Zhao Shiqing.

"That's someone from Baoqing Marquis's Mansion, aren't you afraid?"

Sun Hongbin gritted his teeth and said, "Even rabbits bite when they are cornered. They are from the Baoqing Marquisate and have no regard for our kinship. First they made me lose so much money, then they kicked me out of the gambling house and beat me up. Now they want me to die. Humph, wishful thinking. I am not dead. I am still alive!"

Widow Liu now just wanted Sun Hongbin to get out as soon as possible. She was living a good life, but she was beaten up because of this gambler. Besides, they were people from the Baoqing Marquis Mansion. If they knew that Sun Hongbin was not dead, they might come here again.

But she didn't dare, because the girl just gave her ten taels of silver.

Widow Liu is a woman of integrity. She is equally diligent and conscientious whether she is collecting money or doing the work.

"Sun Lang, the old lady of the Marquis' Mansion clearly wants to kill you to silence you. You are already like this. Did something happen to your daughter in the Marquis' Mansion? Otherwise, they wouldn't want to kill you."

Sun Hongbin was stunned. Did something happen to his daughter?

What could possibly happen to that little bitch?

Could it be that the baby in my belly caused the trouble?

Sun Hongbin is not an illiterate gambler. He used to be a zither player and can also sing. Isn’t this kind of thing common in operas?
Why did he dare to take advantage of others in Jinbao Casino? It was because Sun Lingzhi had something in his belly.

Although even Sun Lingzhi herself didn't know whether the piece of meat in her belly belonged to the father or the son, but her current identity was the father's aunt, so the child was the father's, the late son of Marquis Baoqing, and Zhu Yu's little brother.

Whenever he thought of his unborn grandson, Sun Hongbin would hold his head high and puff out his chest, wishing he could let everyone in the capital know that he was the father-in-law of Marquis Baoqing.

So, no beating was in vain.

Now that Widow Liu reminded him, Sun Hongbin became even more worried. It was bad. There was a high probability that Sun Lingzhi's pregnancy would not be saved.

He didn't have time to talk to Widow Liu in private. He put on his clothes and hurried out of Baihui Hutong.

Seeing him walk away, Zhao Shiqing and the other two came out from the darkness.

"He won't run away, will he?" asked Loach.

Zhao Shiqing was unsure, but things had already developed to this point, so she decided to just keep going.

It was already completely dark, and Sun Hongbin took advantage of the night to run back home.

Seeing him coming back, Mrs. Cai was annoyed: "Did the debt collector beat you up?"

Sun Hongbin slapped Mrs. Cai in the face and said, "It must be you, a bitch, who told others about my whereabouts."

Mrs. Cai had long been accustomed to being beaten by him, so she picked up the velvet flowers that had been knocked off her hair and put them back in.

"Do I need to tell you about your whereabouts? Go out and ask around. Is there anyone who doesn't know?"

Sun Hongbin didn't say anything else. Mrs. Cai was right. Ever since he opened this grocery store, he and Widow Liu have been in a relationship. It has long been no secret.

"Let's talk about something serious. I'm afraid my daughter's pregnancy is not going to be safe."

Hearing this, Mrs. Cai was stunned: "How do you know?" Sun Hongbin sighed, fell on the bed, pulled the quilt to cover his head, and after a while, he began to snore.

Mrs. Cai was very nervous and couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

She is still waiting for the baby in Sun Lingzhi's belly to turn over. She is counting on that piece of meat in her belly for the rest of her life.

She tossed and turned. Outside, there was the sound of gongs and drums. It was already three o'clock in the morning.

At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly came from outside the window.

Mrs. Cai was shocked. She ran a grocery store and she didn't think a thief would come to steal things.

She quickly reached out to push Sun Hongbin: "Wake up, wake up."

Sun Hongbin snorted twice in dissatisfaction, turned over and continued to sleep.

Mrs. Cai was no longer sleepy. She bravely sat up, walked barefoot to the window, and pricked up her ears to listen carefully to the noise outside.

There were indeed people outside. She heard someone whisper, "Go in and take a look. There's no body in the well. The man surnamed Sun must have run back home."

Another person said, "He's not stupid. If he ran back home, he would be waiting to be slaughtered by us again. He definitely didn't come back."

"Anyway, let's go in and take a look first."

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, obviously they were about to come in.

Mrs. Cai suddenly had an idea. She went back to the bed and used all her strength to drag Sun Hongbin under the bed. Just as Sun Hongbin was about to speak, she covered his mouth.

Sun Hongbin finally woke up and heard Mrs. Cai say in his ear: "Someone wants to kill you, hide quickly."

When he heard the words "kill you", Sun Hongbin suddenly came to his senses. The fear in the well spread throughout his body, and he rolled and crawled to hide under the bed.

Mrs. Cai returned to the bed, closed her eyes, opened her mouth, and began to snore like Sun Hongbin.

The window was pushed open, and two people jumped in, one in front and one behind. They shone a tinder on the bed, then quietly went out.

It was not until she could no longer hear any sound that Mrs. Cai burst into tears. She could not go on like this anymore.

Sun Hongbin hid under the bed all night and did not dare to come out.

The next day, Sun Hongbin asked Mrs. Cai to go out and inquire for news.

Ever since Sun Lingzhi entered the Mansion of Marquis Baoqing, Mrs. Cai has not been idle. She hooked up with a housekeeper in the mansion. The housekeeper's name was Tao Fen. She had only one son, a fool, who was still unmarried in his twenties.

In order to win over Tao Fen, Mrs. Cai brought a pretty little girl from her own village and promised her to Tao Fen's stupid son with a betrothal gift of twenty taels of silver.

You have to know that in the capital, don't even think about finding a virgin girl for that fool, let alone twenty taels.

Tao Fen was extremely grateful to Mrs. Cai and from then on he owed her a favor.

Mrs. Cai went to Tao Fen to ask for information. Tao Fen was stunned: "Auntie Sun is pregnant again?"

You know, Sun Lingzhi had just had a miscarriage not long ago, and it’s been less than three months, and she’s pregnant again?
Mrs. Cai looked around and lowered her voice: "This matter is confidential. It's only you, sister, that I'm telling you."

Tao Fen nodded repeatedly, but thought in her heart that she probably couldn't keep this baby.

Everyone knows that this Aunt Sun slept with her father and son together. How could the old lady keep the baby in her belly? There is no shortage of women who can give birth in the Marquis' Mansion.

It is this Sun family that is still thinking that the mother can gain status through her son.

"I didn't hear any rumors. By the way, I saw Aunt Sun yesterday. She was admiring the flowers in the garden, talking and laughing. She looked very happy."

Mrs. Cai felt relieved. If something happened to Sun Lingzhi, Tao Fen would have no reason to hide it from her.

But she thought of what happened last night and asked, "How is the old lady?"

Tao Fen said, "Don't mention it. The old lady has been in a bad mood recently. She even had a trafficker come yesterday and sold several people. But I didn't hear that anyone from Aunt Sun's room was involved."

Although Tao Fen said this, Mrs. Cai was still worried. The old lady was really angry, so after she got angry, she sent someone to kill Sun Hongbin.

Only Sun Hongbin was killed, but she was not. In the final analysis, it was the gambler who caused the trouble by talking without restraint outside.

She said to Tao Fen, "Sister, please help me call my daughter out. I want to have a private conversation with her."

If a concubine wants to go out, she must obtain the consent of the mistress, but Tao Fen's family lives in the back alley of the marquis's mansion. Some of the concubines and concubines in the marquis's mansion are the mansion's own children. Their parents also live in the back alley of the marquis's mansion and they would occasionally go back on weekdays. Therefore, on weekdays, as long as they tell the doorman of the back door that they are going to the back alley, the doorman will not stop them, and will not check the matching card.

In the past, whenever Mrs. Cai met Sun Lingzhi, it was at Tao Fen's house in the back alley.

Tao Fen didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but she owed Mrs. Cai a big favor, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go and take the letter to Sun Lingzhi.

A few hours later, Mrs. Cai met Sun Lingzhi at Tao Fen's house.

"My girl, is anyone giving you trouble?" asked Mrs. Cai.

Sun Lingzhi sneered: "Tell me, how much do you want?"

Every time Mrs. Cai came here, she would ask for money, but not today. However, Sun Lingzhi didn't believe it.

"My daughter, your father was almost killed yesterday."

Sun Lingzhi: “Is he dead?”

"Not dead, almost."

"hehe."

"My dear, is the baby in your belly okay?"

“It hasn’t fallen yet.”

"That's good, that's good, your father."

"He dared to say that he was the Marquis' father-in-law. He deserves to be beaten to death."

"You kid, no matter what, he is your father."

"Humph!"

Mrs. Cai had no choice but to say a lot of nice things. Seeing that Sun Lingzhi was losing her patience, she said hesitantly, "The old lady sent someone to kill your father. Your father has a bad mouth, but he is not a bad person. He loved you so much when you were a child. You talk to the Marquis and ask the old lady to spare him. I promise for him that he will never say nonsense again and embarrass the Marquis's mansion."

In the final analysis, it was because Sun Hongbin kept saying outside that he was the Marquis's father-in-law, and the old lady heard about it. Since he refused to shut up, she would kill him. A dead man would not talk nonsense.

For a gambler like him, killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Sun Lingzhi stood up and said, "The Marquis hasn't come into my room for several days. Forget it, I'll talk to the prince."

Mrs. Cai was overjoyed and couldn't help but praise her, "My daughter is really capable."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing over Sun Lingzhi's head.

Sun Lingzhi took off the golden hairpin on her head and threw it to her, as if she was sending away a beggar: "Take it, and don't come to me if you have nothing to do in the future."

Sun Lingzhi walked out of the alley and entered the back door. Suddenly, a pool of bird droppings fell on her shoulder.

Sun Lingzhi was so angry that she could only hurried back to her own courtyard and asked her maid to change her clothes. When she turned around, she saw a big bird standing in front of the open window.

She was startled. It must be an eagle.

When did the prince start playing with eagle?
It is said that there are many playboys in the capital who play with eagles, but Zhu Yu did not have this hobby before.
