Traveling through the Republic of China, I married a dead person

"Slut!" Second Miss Kong Yun cursed.

The eldest lady Kong Man immediately told her that she shouldn't scold Sixth Aunt like that. She was the elder, and besides, she had never had any problems with anyone in this mansion.

The Sixth Concubine is like this, she does her own thing, neither getting close to anyone nor competing with anyone.

It's none of your business, just hang it up high.

"Let's do it here tonight," Su Bai knocked on the table, "Ask the kitchen to cook a few dishes, and we sisters can have a few drinks."

No one else was brought to play, just Su Bai and four sisters-in-law.

The cooking would have to wait for a while. Kong Man and Kong Yun insisted on taking Su Bai to the east backyard where they lived. Su Bai had never been there since Kong Man moved there. The two sisters redecorated the house a few days ago.

Su Bai knew about this. In order to make the second young lady happy, she even paid for them to buy the silk and two dressing tables needed to redecorate the house.

After seeing Kong Man and Kong Yun's houses, the third and fourth daughters felt that the houses of their eldest and second sisters were so beautifully decorated that they were reluctant to leave.

Su Bai smiled and said to them, "Then let your eldest sister and second sister open the quilt, and you can get in and have a good sleep!"

"Great, great!" The fourth young lady clapped her hands and cheered. She was really ready to give it a try. After all, she was a child.

Since he was reluctant to leave, Su Bai let them play for a while longer. He went back to see how the food was arranged and then added two more dishes for them.

After setting up the kitchen, I came to the main room. As soon as I stepped onto the stairs, I heard two men arguing inside.

They are the brothers Kong Dai and Guo Deyi.

"I'm telling you, you'd better find an excuse to tell the eldest young lady to leave the Kong Mansion and get away from her!" This was Kong Dai's voice.

Guo Deyi was not to be outdone: "You're not done yet, are you?" Then there was the sound of slapping his legs: "You beat me up like this, but I didn't care about you. I still respect you and honor you after all these years. Do you really want to force me to death?"

"People like you are better off dead than alive!"

"I won't die. I have a son. For him, I have to live. I have to live well. The eldest young lady is not Master Kong. I don't believe she will let you kill me again!"

"You took advantage of the Eldest Young Madam's kindness, and you still have the nerve to mention her?" Kong Dai's voice was a little lower, but Su Bai outside the door could still hear it clearly.

"I will repay the eldest young lady's kindness. I am not the kind of person who doesn't know how to repay a favor!"

"Okay, then remember this. I'm going to be out of town these few days. If you dare to make trouble, I'll kill your son when I come back!"

Su Bai was horrified when he heard this. Kong Dai was so cruel.

Zi Yan said that in the two or three years since she entered the Kong Mansion, she had seen Kong Dai beat two people to death.

Guo Deyi remained silent.

After a short silence, Guo Deyi's tone softened a lot: "My son is the only heir of our Guo family. You can kill me, I have nothing to say. Please don't touch him, otherwise our ancestors will not let you go!"

"No one can be killed!" Su Bai felt that if she continued to eavesdrop like this and was seen by the servants passing by the yard, it would be unacceptable. It was too shameful for a lady of the head of a family to eavesdrop on people's conversations.

Thinking of this, he stepped over the threshold and walked into the main room.

"Young Madam?" The two of them showed surprised expressions when they saw Su Bai come in.

"I just heard a few words of what you said just now, Uncle Kong," Su Bai turned to Kong Dai and said, "Why, you want to kill not only your brother but also his son?"

"Madam, I..."

Su Bai didn't listen to his explanation: "I'm putting my words here. Without my permission, you can't kill him, let alone touch his son!"

"But……"

Su Bai suddenly became a little impatient with Kong Dai: "Shut up, I don't want to listen!"

After that, he turned to Guo Deyi and said, "Tomorrow, you will bring your son to the Confucius Mansion and make him a servant. Can he read? If he can't read, find him a school and I will support him in school!"

Guo Deyi had a strange expression. It was hard to tell whether he was embarrassed or moved by Su Bai's generosity. "Thank you, Madam Young Master. My son has studied and is now in his twenties. He has a good job in Jinan. I'm sorry to have to worry about him."

It's really a waste of worry. Guo Deyi had a pretty good business back then, so how could his son never go to school?

Since he has found a good job in Jinan, he definitely cannot come to our Confucius Mansion to be a servant.

"Oh, my God, what a sin!" Kong Dai suddenly squatted on the ground and slapped his thigh hard.

This old man...why is he still crying?

That's right, although he didn't make any crying sound, his tears kept flowing out.

I'm really confused, is it really that serious?

Oh my god?

Su Bai thought of Liu Yiyan, this guy always used the four words "Oh my God" to express his exclamation.

The scene suddenly became awkward.

"Uncle Kong," Su Bai said, trying to make his voice softer: "I just heard you say you were going out. Where were you going? Why didn't you tell me?"

Kong Dai stood up, wiped his tears, and told Su Bai that his father's twentieth anniversary was approaching, and he wanted to go back to his hometown to add soil to the grave and pay homage.

I wanted to ask for leave from the young mistress, but I didn’t have the chance yet.

"Then you have to go too?" Su Bai asked Guo Deyi.

Guo Deyi was stunned for a moment and said that he remembered his father did not die on these days, but Kong Dai insisted that it was. They each said that the other had remembered it wrong, so the two brothers held memorial services according to the day they remembered.

Su Bai was stunned. It was ridiculous and absurd. How could such a thing be possible?

The two brothers still have a dispute about the date of their father's death and each has his own opinion?

If it is normal for one of them to forget the day, how is it possible that both of them think they are right?

Thinking about their expressions just now, one of them must be lying.

My intuition tells me that the feud between the two brothers may be far more complicated than what I see and hear. There is something behind it, and it is a big thing!

At this time, the four sisters-in-law, led by Kong Man, jumped into the house.

Kong Dai and Guo Deyi left.

"Uncle Kong, you're not leaving tomorrow, are you? Rest early after dinner today and get ready." Su Bai walked quickly to the door and told him that he should use the remaining money from Qingdao first. If it was not enough, she would ask Zi Yan to send him some after dinner.

Kong Dai's tears were still flowing, and he didn't know whether it was a continuation of what happened just now or he was moved this time.

The four sisters-in-law were delighted with the meal for the whole night, but Su Bai kept thinking about Kong Dai and Guo Deyi.

It was not until he went to bed at night that Su Bai made a clearer judgment.

It wasn't just one of them who lied, but both of them lied.

The stories that Guo Deyi told himself about the past when he returned to the Confucius Mansion were partly true and partly false, at least some of them were lies.

The real reason why Kong Dai crippled Guo Deyi was probably not as simple as stealing things from the Kong Mansion.

In order to get Guo Deyi to leave the Confucius Mansion, he even threatened to kill his son.

You have to know that in this era of extreme preference for boys over girls, Guo Deyi's son, as the only descendant of the Guo family, would be favored by the entire family if he were in another family.

How could Kong Dai have done this? This was truly an act of treason that went against the wishes of our ancestors.

Also, Kong Dai was lying about their father’s memorial anniversary. He had other things to do and was definitely not going back to his hometown to visit the grave!

To be more precise, this matter was deliberately done without telling Su Bai.

It won't be disadvantageous to me, right?

Never mind. Su Bai, who couldn’t figure it out, had to comfort himself this way.

I shouldn't and don't have the energy to get involved in the family affairs between two brothers. There are more important things to do.

Tomorrow is the day agreed with Liu Yiyan to kidnap the second young lady. Su Bai doesn't know if she can be cruel enough to complete this matter as planned. She is not sure whether she will change her mind at the last minute.

As soon as the sun rises, the real test will come.
