"You, what are you?" Mrs. Xu felt cold all over after hearing this, her lips were trembling and she couldn't even speak clearly. She forced herself to calm down and said, "What happened to your son? Why did you come to me? I..."
"I saw him yesterday." Zhao Haijun licked his lips and said, "His name is Yuan Lin, right? I didn't expect him to be so old."
Zhao Haijun's words scared Xu to the point of almost fainting.
"Don't talk nonsense! Yuan Lin is my master's son, you..."
"Yu Rou, is it fun to deceive yourself?" Zhao Haijun chuckled, "Or are you saying that you have been lying for so many years and now you even believe it?
"Calculate the days carefully, and then think about Yuan Lin's current appearance, especially his ears and the extra little bumps. It seems that he is the son of our old Zhao family!"
"You're talking nonsense!" Mrs. Xu almost collapsed. She even forgot to lower her voice and shouted directly.
If Xie Yan hadn't already led people to clear the place, he would have called the people in the temple over by now.
Zhao Haijun was also startled by her voice, but he quickly regained his composure and said: "You shout louder, I am barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes now, and you are the prefect's wife!
"Call everyone in the temple and see who of us is finished first!"
"Stop talking... Yuan Lin is really not your son..."
Mrs. Xu said this without any confidence. She was a mother, how could she not know who the child in her belly was.
Not to mention that as he grows older, Shen Yuanlin's face becomes more and more like Zhao Haijun.
But she and Zhao Haijun had not been in contact for many years. The Xu family said that they had given each other a sum of money and sent him away far away, and would never appear in front of her again in this life.
As Zhao Haijun said before, after so many years of living in peace and self-deception, she even deceived herself.
Now Zhao Haijun's sudden appearance immediately broke the illusion she had maintained for so many years, causing her to fall back into the cold reality.
"If you want money, I brought the banknote. You can use the money to do business or anything else, okay?" At this time, Mrs. Xu no longer cared about her identity or pretentiousness. She wanted to kneel down and beg Zhao Haijun, "You Just now you said you wanted to reminisce about old times, so can't you let me go for the sake of our past friendship?"
As she spoke, she hurriedly took out a roll of silver notes from her sleeve, stuffed it into Zhao Haijun's hand, and said repeatedly: "Here are five hundred taels of silver notes. No matter where you take it, it will be enough for you to work safely." I can live like a rich man. If it’s not enough, I can give you another hundred taels every year in the future...Brother Haijun, please let me go, okay?"
Zhao Haijun did not accept the banknote she handed over at all. Instead, he looked at her with a gentle face and said: "Yurou, look at what you are so afraid of. As the saying goes, a husband and wife can live a hundred days of kindness, and we are the same after all." As a person who has been married before, can I still harm you?
"As for Yuan Lin, I don't blame you for this. You made my son the eldest son of the prefect, and he will have a greater future. I am too late to be happy, so how can I ruin the child's future. "
Zhao Haijun's words were extremely gentle, but paired with his now haggard and old face, they were particularly inconsistent.
Hearing this was like thunder in Mrs. Xu's ears, shaking her liver and gallbladder to pieces.
"What on earth do you want to do!" Xu asked hysterically.
Zhao Haijun grinned and said: "It's very simple. You arrange for me to work next to my son, so that I can take care of him and protect him. Don't worry!"
"You..." Mrs. Xu didn't even raise her breath. She was so suppressed that her eyesight turned black and she almost fainted.
Simple? rest assured?
Did Zhao Haijun say this in human terms?
"This is absolutely impossible!"
Mrs. Xu would only agree to such a thing if she was in trouble.
Not to mention the hidden dangers of bringing Zhao Haijun into the house, the facial features of him and Shen Yuanlin were almost the same. As long as they appeared in front of people at the same time, it would be enough to put her in the Shen family's doomed situation.
"Xu Yurou, that is my biological son. I no longer ask him to recognize his ancestor and return to the clan. Now I just want to get closer to him, okay?"
"Are you crazy! Yuan Lin is now the only son of the prefect, and his future is bright. Do you have to destroy him and let him live in the same poverty as you in his thirties and forties?"
"Yes, I am already so poor. I am about to turn forty. I want money but no money, a wife but no wife, and a son but no son. What else can I want to do? I just want to be able to live every day. Seeing my son..."
"Then someone discovered you and took him out to beg for food?"
Her son was Xu's bottom line, and her mood gradually stabilized at this moment, knowing that she could not solve any problems no matter whether she collapsed or got excited.
Now she had to force herself to calm down before she could negotiate terms with Zhao Haijun, stabilize him first, and then slowly figure it out.
"I really don't know what hardships you have suffered over the years, and I don't know what kind of life you are living now. I can also understand the dissatisfaction and anger in your heart.
"But you are a person who has read the book after all. Can you calm down and think about what is best for you and Yuan Lin?
"I made my statement just now. In terms of money, I am willing to do my best to make it up to you, but I will never let you go crazy and ruin my son's reputation and future!"
I have to say that after being the prefect's wife for more than five years, Xu has gained some momentum.
Once her attitude became tougher, Zhao Haijun lost his previous advantage.
"It's me. I'm a scholar after all!" Zhao Haijun looked down at himself and smiled mockingly, "With the way I look now, who would know that I was a scholar before!"
Seeing this, Mrs. Xu hurriedly said: "What does it matter if you are like this now? It doesn't mean that you will always be like this in the future.
"As long as you are willing to accept the banknote, go out and buy a house, and buy two maids and servants to serve you, it will take less than two years to keep you and raise you like a rich man.
When the time comes, no matter whether you marry a wife or take a concubine, it will still be an easy matter. Maybe then I will even envy your children! "
These words really touched the heart of Zhao Haijun. What man wouldn’t want to live such a life!
But when he thought about the people who had found him and his debts, he immediately hesitated.
Mrs. Xu was sure that she saw Zhao Haijun's relaxed attitude, and she wanted to ask if you have any other requests.
But she still tried to hold it back.
If you can't hold back and speak first, it will be equivalent to completely giving up the initiative to the other party. It will be difficult to turn around later!
