Chapter 524, Dribbling the Ball Into the Small Room②

The Zhou family is considered a big family in the area.

Because his family is not only rich, but also powerful.

Ordinary merchants rarely have the right, after all, the status of merchants is not high.

However, the Zhou family has a nepotistic relationship, so they have always been in trouble in the business world.

In addition, they are generous and willing to give. So many things are easy to handle.

The Zhou family not only has a large family and business, but also has a large population.

Excluding those maids and servants, there are about twenty young masters and ladies in the Zhou family.

Master Zhou is a romantic figure. In addition to his wife, there are twenty or thirty concubines in the family.

Because their place is far away from the capital and there are many merchants here, there are not so many rules. Naturally, I can have as many concubines as I want.

However, although the Zhou family has many young ladies and young masters, the principal wife only has three legitimate sons and daughters.

Two men and one woman respectively.

Mrs. Zhou is a powerful character.

Although there were many concubines in the family, none of them dared to climb on top of her and act wild.

After all, Mrs. Zhou is also very powerful and not tolerant.

The reason why she allowed Mr. Zhou to have so many women. But because her mother's family had sufficient status and her concubine's status was not high, she didn't care about those women pestering her husband.

Furthermore, no matter how coquettish those women are, the Zhou family's property can only be left to their three children.

Mrs. Zhou's three children are all among the best.

Although their family is a merchant family, the young master and the young lady in the family are very educated.

The young master who had a relationship with Lu'er was named Zhou Qin.

He is Mrs. Zhou's third son.

Zhou Qin looks more like the old man of the Zhou family, so he has been favored since he was a child.

In addition, he is very smart and can learn everything quickly, so Mr. Zhou loves this second son the most.

Although the Zhou family has many children, Mr. Zhou always assigns important business to his eldest son and Zhou Qin.

Other sons born to concubines can only go to the shops and display cabinets.

Although Mr. Zhou was a romantic man, he could still tell the difference between his concubine and his concubine.

If not, Mrs. Zhou wouldn't have been able to indulge him so much.

As long as the things in the Zhou family belong to her three children, she doesn't care how romantic her husband is.

The reason why Zhou Qin was poisoned by the scent of medicine this time was mainly because of the concubine in his family.

The concubine's name was Zhou Shen.

He is the son of Mr. Zhou's favorite concubine.

Because he liked that concubine too much, the concubine's son was also deeply loved by Mr. Zhou.

Moreover, this concubine is also very smart and knows how to coax Mr. Zhou into taking his son into business.

Although Mr. Zhou values ​​his legitimate sons more, the son born from his beloved concubine also has good qualifications.

So in recent months, he has begun to cultivate this concubine's son casually.

Mrs. Zhou was aware of her husband's actions.

But she wouldn't let that concubine succeed.

snort.

A concubine with a low status gave birth to a son, and she still wanted to steal business from her son?

There are no doors!

So Mrs. Zhou kept giving birth to a son for that concubine, causing Zhou Shen to stumble.

Zhou Shen was already conceited, but because his biological mother's status was too low, he couldn't climb up.

But he was unwilling to do so.

I am not willing to be a shopkeeper for the rest of my life.

That's why I wanted to get the Zhou family's business.

His ambition is great.

Not only the Zhou family's business, he also wanted to kill Mrs. Zhou and the two legitimate sons.

In this way, all the property of the Zhou family will be his.

Zhou Qin could see this brother's ambition, so he was also on guard against the other party's conspiracy.

That time he was given Chinese medicine, and it was Zhou Shen who teamed up with others to harm him.

This medicine is very vicious.

If the herbalist does not have the antidote within an hour, he will burst into blood and die.

Not just soaking in cold water will do the trick.

So after Zhou Shen drugged him, he locked him in the room and did not allow anyone else to rescue him.

Fortunately, Zhou Qin goes out to do business all year round and always leaves a way out for himself.

So that night he escaped from the room on the second floor of the brothel.

After he escaped, he returned home while he was awake.

There is a room arranged by his mother at home.

Although he never had any intercourse.

But this time there was no choice but to go back first.

He has a mysophobia and really doesn't like women outside, so he can only go home.

When he got home, he originally wanted Tong Fang to come over.

Who knows, everyone thought he was just drunk, so they didn't dare to disturb his rest and all left.

It was at this time that Lu'er brought in the sobering soup, so the two of them became successful.

Zhou Qin was half asleep and half awake about what happened that night.

At that time, he was already sweating, and his consciousness was already a little blurry.

But he vaguely remembered that the girl's voice was delicate and crisp, with a hint of anger in her shyness.

Unfortunately, after he detoxified, the other party ran away.

Zhou Qin fell asleep because his head hurt so much that he didn't have time to chase after him.

After the system said this, he asked Shuyan Shangshen.

"God, it's still dark. Do you want to go back to Zhou Qin's place?"

Otherwise, he will be replaced again later.

Shuyan Shangshen said, "Okay. Then go back."

You can never repeat the steps of your previous life.

So she got up at night and quietly went to Zhou Qin's room.

But at this time, someone was already lying in Zhou Qin's room.

And that person was the vicious girl who killed Lu'er in her previous life.

The maid's name is Cui'er.

She is the eldest maid in Zhou Qin's courtyard. In charge of the other little maids in the courtyard.

None of the servants and servants of the Zhou family have surnames, they all have only one nickname.

This Cui'er has been coming to the Zhou family for many years.

She is high-spirited and wants to climb high. That's why he spent money to bribe the housekeeper, so that he could work in Zhou Qin's yard.

The reason why she chose Zhou Qin.

Mainly because Zhou Qin is the best young master in the Zhou family.

It is also the favorite of Mr. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou.

If she can be Zhou Qin's concubine, there will be many good days in the future.

So when Zhou Qin came back drunk, she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to do something good.

But she was afraid of being known when she came, so she deliberately waited until late at night.

Who would have thought.

When she came, Zhou Qin was actually touched.

Cui Er was so angry that she wanted to smash things.

But she couldn't smash it.

She couldn't bring this matter out, lest the little bitch who ate Zhou Qin would have a good life.

So she simply ignored the mistake and went directly to Zhou Qin's bed.

When Lu'er ran away just now, Cui'er looked at her back from a distance.

But he wasn't quite sure that it was Lu'er.

But no matter what, as long as she could spend the night in the room.

There is no doubt that she will be the concubine of Zhou Qin tomorrow.

So Cui'er lay beside Zhou Qin with a proud look on her face, dreaming of becoming a phoenix overnight.

When Lord Shuyan came in, he saw the cruel maid lying in Zhou Qin's arms eating tofu.

But Zhou Qin didn't seem to like others disturbing his sleep, so he kicked Cui'er out of bed.

"Oh... the young master is so cruel."

Cui'er was kicked out of bed, but instead of resenting it, she was very happy.

But when she looked up, she realized that someone had appeared in the room.

"Who are you?"
