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

Su Bai got angry when he heard this. Kong Man actually dared to threaten him.

Just based on a piece of unclear note, do you think he has evidence against me?

Do you think I'm a nine-tailed fox and everyone wants to catch one of its tails?

"If you have something to say, just say it all at once. Don't say it again and again. Go back and tell the eldest lady that in the Kong Mansion, I always thought that she and the second lady were the people closest to me. I wanted to treat them as my own sisters. If they don't want to, there's nothing I can do. I won't beg her, and I won't spoil her!"

"My dear sister?" The Sixth Aunt said with disdain: "You can't stick mutton on a dog!"

What she meant was that the sister-in-law and the sister-in-law were not related by blood, so they couldn't be that close even if they wanted to.

She pointed at Su Bai's belly. Only after the child was born and a bond was established between Su Bai and the two ladies could they talk about intimacy.

The Sixth Concubine's words seemed to make some sense, but in fact they were meant to provoke trouble.

Regarding the issue of money, Su Bai did not lie to the Sixth Aunt. There was indeed less than 2000 yuan in the Kong family's account. This was because Kong Chen kindly left 1200 yuan for Su Bai from the funeral money collected at the master's funeral. Otherwise, there would only be a few hundred yuan in the account.

Su Bai changed the funeral gift bill and embezzled more than 100 yuan from the funeral money. Kong Dai spent more than yuan to buy equipment in Qingdao, gave Liu Yiyan yuan, and was blackmailed by that damn second wife's accomplice for yuan. There was not much left.

Of course, this account cannot be told to other people in the Confucius Mansion.

Let's take a step back and say that even if the Confucius Mansion really has 20,000 oceans now, where should they send it?

Su Bai asked the Sixth Aunt to tell Kong Man and ask her to point out a direction, telling her which hill and temple to send him to.

"Okay, that's the only way I can reply to her." The Sixth Aunt stood up to leave, but Su Bai grabbed her arm again.

"Tell Kong Man again that her suspicion of me is groundless. This is the last time I will explain this to her. Believe it or not!"

Su Bai felt a little regretful after saying this. He shouldn't have said this to the Sixth Aunt.

The Sixth Concubine, who had been half-turned, turned her body around and asked Su Bai in a mysterious voice, "What does she suspect you of? Is it about your relationship with Captain Zhou?"

She reacted very quickly and thought of Zhou Beiwang immediately.

However, this also shows that Kong Man did not tell the Sixth Aunt about Tietou's note.

What surprised Su Bai was that the Sixth Aunt sat back in her chair and refused to move.

He put his elbows on the table and said, "Tell me, how far have you and Captain Zhou gotten?"

"We have nothing to do with each other, please don't make any assumptions, Sixth Aunt!"

The Sixth Concubine smiled and said, "As long as you tell me the truth, I will also tell you a secret of the Kong Mansion that you don't know."

What Su Bai told her was the truth, that her relationship with Zhou Beiwang had indeed not developed to a certain level.

Even if their relationship really developed, why tell her?

But if the secret that Sixth Auntie told me is related to me, I would really want to know it.

She first asked tentatively: "Is this secret... related to me?"

The Sixth Aunt's answer was the same as no answer. She said that Su Bai was the head of the Kong Mansion and everything in the Kong Mansion was related to her.

Su Bai felt that she might be lying to him.

There are many people in the Confucius Mansion and therefore many things to do. If it is just some private matters between servants that are irrelevant to the overall situation, it may be a big deal for the parties involved, but for Su Bai, it is nothing.

"Well, since you are unwilling to admit your relationship with Captain Zhou, then I have nothing to say. I actually have no secrets. I am just teasing you on purpose!" The Sixth Aunt stood up and walked towards the door, twisting her waist.

Su Bai looked at her back. This girl was not only coquettish, but also bad.

Just a few seconds later, Su Bai realized that his judgment of a person was too one-sided.

The Sixth Concubine stepped over the threshold and turned back: "The servants in the Kong Mansion are provided with food and lodging, and the monthly salary is two or three yuan, right?"

Su Bai nodded: "Why, this is not a lot, right?"

"If a servant suddenly had a wad of money, at least seventy or eighty yuan, would you think that this person was very frugal, saving all the money he earned without spending a penny?"

Su Bai was shocked.

Seventy or eighty yuan is roughly equivalent to three years' wages for a servant in the mansion. It is not impossible to save so much money in the Confucius Mansion without eating or drinking, but most of these servants will take the wages back home on a monthly basis, unless this person has no parents or brothers or sisters.

The legal tender given to the blackmailer were all in denominations of one and two yuan, totaling one hundred yuan.

Could it be that the Sixth Concubine saw the money in the hands of a servant?

She said there were at least seventy or eighty yuan, which was her estimate, and it should be the one hundred yuan in French francs.

Just as she was about to approach the Sixth Aunt to ask her about it, the Sixth Aunt waved the handkerchief in her hand and said, "Don't stop me, and don't ask me. I don't know anything!"

"wait!"

Just at this moment, Kong Dai and Accountant Sun arrived.

The Sixth Aunt laughed twice and said, "Come and sit with me if you have nothing to do. Remember, don't come empty-handed." Then she went down the stairs and headed east, probably to the east backyard to find the eldest miss Kong Man.

"Is the young madam going out?" Kong Dai asked Su Bai.

"It's okay, Uncle Kong and Mr. Sun, please come in." Su Bai let the two of them into the house.

These two people came to ask Su Bai about the cost of renovating the basement.

After being disturbed by the Sixth Aunt, Su Bai's mind was not on this at all. The cost of renovating the basement was not that high, but since the two of them were here, Su Bai had to listen to them carefully. Finally, he told Kong Dai that he would be in charge of these matters in the future, and he could just give him a total cost after the renovation was completed.

The delay of Kong Dai and Mr. Sun delayed Su Bai until lunch time.

The food had been delivered and placed on the table. Su Bai asked Zi Yan to go to the Second Hospital immediately to see if the money in the small hole in the corner of the wall had been taken away.

Zi Yan came back soon and the cave was empty.

This is consistent with what the Sixth Concubine said.

The Sixth Aunt reminded herself not to go empty-handed, which meant that she was directly asking for something from her.

But I don't know what she wants, so I can only give her money.

Su Bai and Zi Yan had different opinions on how much was appropriate to give. Su Bai was considering whether to give the Sixth Aunt 50 yuan or 100 yuan, but Zi Yan said that 20 yuan would be enough.

"Can 20 yuan get rid of the Sixth Concubine?"

Zi Yan took out the private money of Su Bai that she kept, which was all left after deducting the money for the funeral: "I also know that 20 yuan is a little too little, but look, Madam, we have less than 200 yuan left in total!"

After Zi Yan said this, Su Bai looked at the money and became worried again.

If you give too little, it won’t work. If you give too much, I’ll feel like I can’t afford it.

You have to keep some money on hand in case of emergency. In case your identity is leaked, you must have money when you run away.

There is no other way, this matter of Sixth Concubine must be done.
