After being divorced, the concubine became the first lady

Chapter 34

It is difficult to go from luxury to frugality. Xu Xun's mother fell directly from the clouds into the mud puddle.

The daily delicacies were gone, the servants and maids were gone, the small inn where she lived was dark and damp, and no one knew how many people had slept on the bedding. She barely slept in her clothes until midnight, and she was woken up by the bite.

The memories that have been buried for many years are awakened, and there are fleas!

Oh my God, there are fleas in the bedding!

Xu's mother immediately made a fuss and scolded the innkeeper and waiter until they were disheveled, but the end result was nothing more than changing rooms.

How could she, who had been noble for so long, be able to bear this kind of anger, and then get up and act like a noble lady to cause trouble in the inn.

Xu Xun was not on duty today and watched his mother quarreling with others with a numb expression.

Quarreling has long been ingrained in Xu's mother's bones. She knows how to scold her to gain the upper hand. She pinched her waist with one hand and said, "Do you know who my son is? From the seventh rank, I'm giving you face. Do you understand?"

When the people refused to fight with the officials, the shopkeeper suppressed his anger and apologized: "Old madam, I'm really sorry. Do you have any other requests?"

Xu's mother had already made plans. First, she would not pay for accommodation. Just because she spent a lot of money did not mean she was not picky. Now that Chu Lingling was gone, she had to be careful with her calculations before her son was promoted. Second, she would have to pay for the money and bite her all over her body. Pimple, compensation for medical expenses.

The shopkeeper swallowed his anger and bowed and begged for mercy. When he found that it was useless, he became angry: "If you want to be a rogue, just say so."

Xu's mother was furious: "Slap your mouth."

He actually called her a scoundrel?

"You are not what you used to be now, old lady." The shopkeeper snorted coldly. It was already like this anyway. He figured it out. No wonder the Chu family wanted to use this method. The old thing is so disgusting. "Let's just say it. If you don’t give me the money for the store, I will report it to the official.”

Xu's mother smiled: "My son is an official."

The shopkeeper also laughed: "Have you ever heard of a saying? You don't know how to be an official until you come to the capital."

There is a shortage of everything in the capital, but there is no shortage of officials. If you pick up anyone on the street and ask them, you can more or less have connections with officials.

He's just a seventh-grade military attache, and he's just a prank.

Xu Xun sighed silently: "Mom, let's go back to the house."

He knew what the shopkeeper meant.

Indeed, he is nothing.

He wanted to be quiet now and wanted to know if he had done anything wrong.

Xu's mother was not happy and cursed angrily: "You useless thing, haven't you seen others calling you a mother? Get someone to arrest him quickly and send him to jail."

Xu Xun looked at his mother silently, feeling very strange.

He suddenly remembered what Chu Jinjin said: Do you know how my eldest sister came here all these years?

Mother is actually like this?

Over the years, Chu Lingling never complained or even said that as far as he knew, everything was fine.

Now use all these to exchange for the opportunity of promotion.

does it worth?

A shop waiter walked in while turning his head to look out from time to time: "Shopkeeper, is that little girl back?"

The shopkeeper was furious: "Which one?"

The waiter pointed at the Xu family's mother and son: "The one they brought with them, I just saw it going to the other side of the street."

Like a thunderbolt!

Xu Xun said sharply: "Mother, Hanzhang is out? Didn't you look at her?"

Xu's mother's face changed slightly: "How can I have time? She is so big and won't run around."

Her granddaughter was always taken care of by a maid, but she really didn't care.

Xu Xun turned around and ran to the room. Chun'er was still sleeping. He was woken up and opened his eyes in a daze.

Xu's mother kept asking: "My dear grandson, where is your sister?"

Chun'er looked around, shook his head blankly, then thought of something, and said in a sweet voice: "Sister said she was going to see my mother today and asked me if I would go. I want to follow my grandmother."

Xu's mother held her in her arms distressedly: "My dear grandson, you are worthy of being a descendant of my Xu family. He knows who he is close to."

She was worried that Chu Lingling would snatch the child, so she checked in advance that her grandson was fine, but her granddaughter would only cry in the movie.

The shopkeeper came in after him. He figured out the situation and was no longer in the mood to be angry. He stamped his feet anxiously: "Hurry and look for it. Don't meet any philanderers."

That little girl was so pretty that she didn't dare to think about the consequences of going out alone on the street.

When the Chu family's carriage arrived at West Market, it was like arriving in another completely unfamiliar place.

The pedestrians on the roadside looked uncultured, and the carriages turned into donkey and ox carts. Chu Lanlan opened the curtain to watch the excitement, and then she saw a man standing in the corner in the distance, and her face turned pale with fright.

Chu Jinjin was very adaptable.

Most people in the West Market are just looking for a living, which is normal.

A donkey cart passed by quickly. The driver didn't know if his house was on fire or something, so he beat him so hard that the donkey was frightened and almost missed the Chu family's carriage.

The coachman tightened his grip on the reins and cursed loudly with lingering fear: "You are attending a funeral."

Do you know who's inside?

The owner of the donkey cart opened the curtain, and it was a middle-aged man with a fierce appearance. He handed over his hand as an apology.

It was originally a small interlude, but when the carriage drove some distance away, Chu Jinjin suddenly frowned: "Stop."

Chu Lanlan looked outside: "Are you here?"

"No." Chu Jinjin turned to look at the donkey cart that had gone away, "There seemed to be a little girl inside who shouted something."

Having lived in the apocalypse for a long time, I am particularly sensitive to sounds. The rustling of a leaf may be a signal that zombies are coming.

Chu Lanlan was confused: "Shout, what does it have to do with us?"

Chu Jinjin shook her head.

She didn't hear what was being shouted, but she felt the emotion coming from it.

It's asking for help.

After a few breaths, Chu Jinjin made a decision: "Catch up and have a look."

When the head of the family speaks, naturally no one objects.

The carriage turned around.

It didn't take long, but the two were running in opposite directions, and the donkey cart could only see a shadow in the distance.

Fortunately, the Chu family's horse was a good one and the driver was experienced enough, so he didn't lose track.

The donkey cart seemed to sense that someone was chasing it, so it ran even more crazily, but donkeys are donkeys, and they don't have enough endurance. Not long after, they neighed loudly, foamed at the mouth, and fell to their knees on the ground. No matter how hard they beat them, they couldn't stand up.

The ferocious-looking man jumped out of the car, cursed fiercely, and looked at the stopped carriage in panic. When he saw that there was only one groom and two delicate young ladies, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

There is probably no one in the entire capital who doesn't know Chu Jinjin's name, but not many of them have seen her and can recognize her.

The big man said coldly: "I didn't intend to collide just now, noble man, please don't chase me so hard."

Chu Jinjin ignored him and asked directly: "What's in the car?"

She wasn't sure if the big man was a bad guy, or there might be a seriously ill family member in the car.

The big man immediately panicked, thinking he had been discovered, and said in a low voice: "Girl, I advise you not to meddle in other people's business."

"Let me see." Chu Jinjin walked past the big man and was about to lift the curtain when an exclamation came from behind. Without hesitation, she turned sideways and kicked out, hitting the big man's wrist.

Chu Lanlan was scared to death. She watched helplessly as the big man suddenly took out a dagger and stabbed Chu Jinjin, and then watched the dagger fly away.

Chu Jinjin felt no fluctuation in her heart and suddenly opened the curtain. When she saw the small figure tied up inside, her heart suddenly twitched.

It turned out to be Hanzhang.
