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

The concubines arrived one after another. The first to arrive was the fifth concubine, followed by the third and fourth concubines, and the sixth concubine was the last to arrive.

What made Su Bai somewhat disappointed was that the second wife did not come, and she sent Kong Yun to represent her.

The fourth concubine opened her mouth and said, "What is the status of the second wife? You can summon her and she will come? Even if she doesn't care about you, we won't let her come!"

"I called you ladies here to discuss matters, not to give you orders. I don't have time to argue with you. If you want to argue, I admit defeat and I'll leave now."

After Su Bai said this, everyone calmed down temporarily.

When Su Bai mentioned the idea of ​​installing wooden doors on the moon gates between the rooms, the atmosphere went crazy again.

The opposition of the Fourth and Fifth Concubines was not without reason. The Confucius Mansion was a series of courtyards with no corridors. If the door of the Second Courtyard was bolted, people in the Front Courtyard would not be able to go to the Third Courtyard.

Kong Dai and Guo Deyi were specially called by Su Bai. Once the decision was made, they had to find someone to install the door.

Kong Dai told everyone that by installing doors without bolts, it would not affect the traffic between the courtyards.

The third concubine was the first to speak up and say that she wanted to install a door.

This made Su Bai feel that the Third Concubine was a bit stupid. Su Bai had no idea how many people knew about what happened between her and Guo Deyi, but at least the Second Concubine, the Fourth Concubine and Kong Dai knew about it.

When she suggested installing doors, they immediately understood what she meant.

Since he has said it in advance, Su Bai has to agree.

The fourth concubine was strongly opposed to installing a door. She even stopped the third concubine from installing it, but this time, the third concubine did not listen to her.

The Sixth Aunt said in a gloomy tone, "Young Madam, I don't think your door can be installed."

"You have to install it even if you can't. If you are willing to install it, you can install it tomorrow!"

The fourth concubine started to yell again: "The second wife is back, the Kong Mansion is not a place where you can do whatever you want!"

Kong Dai whispered a reminder that no matter who comes back, the eldest young lady will be the one in charge of the Kong Mansion, as this is the master's last wish.

"You little dog, do you have the right to speak here?" The fourth concubine immediately rushed towards Kong Dai.

"Shut up!" Su Bai slammed the table and stood up: "There is another important matter I want to hear your opinions on."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Su Bai said again: "I listen to your opinions because I respect you as my elders. I hope you will support me on this matter. I will explain in advance that if you don't support me, it doesn't matter. I will do what I should do."

Su Bai asked Kong Dai to tell everyone about the Kong family's land. She wanted to take back the right to collect rent, and she was already doing it, and she had offended Kong Chen because of this.

In this matter, she got the support of the third, fifth and sixth concubines, and even the fourth concubine did not object.

The Fifth Auntie immediately asked Su Bai: "What good will it be for us to stand on your side?"

"I will give each room an additional 50 yuan per year. If this goes well, I will give it to each aunt this month."

"Can you give me a little more?" the fifth concubine asked again.

This time, Kong Dai explained for Su Bai that farming is not like doing business, and the income is already low. Although the grain does not have to be given to the second master after the land is taken back, public grain must be paid to the county government. The county government will not take it for free, and the price will definitely not be high.

The fourth concubine asked Su Bai, even if everyone stood on Su Bai's side and resisted the second master, what if the third master took over the second master's affairs and continued to provide military rations from the Kong family's fields?

The Fifth Concubine immediately agreed, saying that the Third Master is now in charge of the Seventh Army. If he gets involved in this matter, we won’t be able to handle it no matter how many people we have.

"If the Third Master wants to do this, then we all have to ask the Fourth Aunt to plead for mercy in front of the Third Master. The Third Master will not ignore the Fourth Aunt's face, right?" Su Bai deliberately provoked the Fourth Aunt.

The Sixth Concubine immediately burst into laughter. The Fourth Concubine became furious and slapped the Sixth Concubine in the face. The Sixth Concubine refused to give in and started to grab her hair... and the whole place was in chaos.

Let Su Bai make as much noise as he wants, and left the lobby.

During lunch, Kong Yun came to Su Bai and told her the result of the fight in the morning. The third and fourth concubines beat up the sixth concubine together, but they didn't gain the upper hand. The sixth concubine was an opera singer and had practiced this.

After laughing for a while, Kong Yun stammered and told Su Bai that the second wife asked her to pass on a message that no doors were allowed to be installed in any courtyard.

"See? Your mother is going to fight with me."

"Why do you insist on installing a door?" Kong Yun was puzzled.

"I am the head of the Confucius Mansion. I installed the gate to let everyone know that my backyard is not accessible to anyone who wants to."

Su Bai asked Kong Yun to go back and tell the second wife that she had decided to install the door.

Aren't you going to stay away from showing up?

I have to force you out.

This trick worked very well and there was a response in the afternoon. Kong Yun came to inform Su Bai that her mother wanted to see Su Bai and asked Su Bai to go to the east backyard.

Su Bai almost said that if she wanted to see me, she could come to my place, but he held back.

It's not a good thing to fall out so quickly.

……

"How is Second Aunt's health these days? Are those tonics effective?" Before Su Bairen even entered the room, his greetings came first.

The second wife had a sullen face, and her face was filled with gloom.

Only when Su Bai got closer could he see clearly that the second wife had scars on her forehead and cheekbones. These were not caused by a gunshot wound, but by rolling down the hillside.

"Su Bai, you think you have really become the head of the Kong family, right? You must know what will happen if you go against me, right?"

Su Bai smiled and said, "At worst, we can die together. I'll die alone, what about you?"

Su Bai felt that he was despicable enough and this was a threat. He told the Second Wife that if Su Bai died, two people would die, her and her daughter.

Of course Su Bai would not do anything to Kong Yun, she couldn't bring herself to do it, but she had to tell this to the Second Wife, because she would definitely fall for it.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?" The second wife's words were not soft in content, but her tone was not hard.

"I was the one who killed Wang Yutian, I was the one who killed Dr. Jiang, I was the one who killed Yan Xi and Er Ga, and you know Kong Zhengliang, right? I was the one who sent him to his death."

At this moment, no matter whether it was right or not, Su Bai felt that he had to say all the harsh words he could.

"Why did you kill Yan Xi and Er Ga?"

“They know too much.”

The second wife shook her head, these two people were not insiders.

Su Bai understood that the real insider was the one who posted the advertisement. Yan Xi and Erga got the inside information from him. The guy who posted the advertisement told them the inside information in order to get them to blackmail Su Bai together.

As a result, he successfully got these two people to lose their lives.

Su Bai wanted to know who the person who posted the advertisement was, but she believed that the second wife would not tell.

In fact, it doesn’t matter whether you know it or not.

Su Bai then threatened the Second Wife and burned the contract in her hand. Even if the Second Wife was determined to die with him, the Second Wife and Kong Yun would definitely die, but Su Bai might not.

"Not to mention that the person who saved you was Xu Laohei. You and Xu Laohei have been living a good life these days, right?"

The second wife immediately showed a surprised expression on her face, which made Su Bai and Kong Dai guess correctly that it was indeed Xu Laohei who saved her.

The second wife was stunned for a moment, then she began to fight back: "If the time comes for us to fall out, I am absolutely sure that I will kill you, and nothing will happen to me. If you don't believe me, let's try it. Within three days, I will definitely take your life!"
