Chapter 229: Knockout Potion
Ling Chu decided to buy the house, and Wei Feng immediately took over the transfer. He didn't even wait for Ling Chu to give him the banknotes, and hurried to the government office to handle the transfer.
Seeing him in such a hurry, Ling Chu guessed that he might want to finish his work quickly and return to the Jinyiwei to work.
She didn't delay Wei Feng's time for a long time. After leaving the house, she immediately asked Xia Zhi to take her to Yongfuxiang Silver House and sold the jadeite she exchanged from Han Yao last time to Zhao Xinxiang, the owner of Yongfuxiang.
After exchanging the banknotes, Ling Chu didn't delay. On the way back, she happened to pass by Wufangzhai, and she got off the car and bought two boxes of snacks.
She was able to buy a four-entry house in Xicheng at such a low price, thanks to Ning Chuyi. She owed him such a big favor, and she should thank him.
After returning to the house, Wei Feng immediately handed over the things in his hand, "Miss Ling, everything is done. Here are the house deeds and household registration documents. Remember to keep them."
It is easy to get things done when someone in the court is in charge. If Ling Chu went to do these two things, it would definitely not be done so smoothly and quickly.
After thanking him, Ling Chu took the things, and then gave the prepared silver notes to Wei Feng, asking him to ask Ning Chuyi to give them to his friend.
He gave one of the two boxes of snacks he bought to Wei Feng, and asked him to help bring the other box to Ning Chuyi.
After receiving such a big favor, Ling Chu felt that only two boxes of snacks were too light a gift. Finally, he also gave two amulets, one for Ning Chuyi and one for Wei Feng.
Wei Feng did not refuse, and accepted them all with a smile.
After handing the key to the house to Ling Chu, Wei Feng immediately left with the things.
He had done everything that Ning Chuyi had asked him to do, and Miss Ling also gave him a thank-you gift. After returning, if the adults are happy, there may be rewards.
Looking at the house deed and household registration in his hand, Ling Chu was in a good mood.
This house is well maintained. As long as it is cleaned and some daily necessities are added, it can be moved in.
He left Xia Zhi behind, gave her some banknotes, and told her to buy daily necessities and pick her up tomorrow.
There were still some things at the Ling Mansion, so Ling Chu took Liu Xiangju back to pack them up.
"What, you set up a female household and want to move out?" In the flower hall, after hearing Ling Chu's words, the lady's face suddenly turned cold.
Dong suddenly clenched the handkerchief in her hand. How dare this little bastard!
If she left, what would happen to the Zhaoguo Mansion?
"Sister Chu, stop messing around. Not to mention that you still have parents above you, your grandfather and I are still alive. If you, a girl who has just come of age, leave your parents and family and move out, have you ever thought about what outsiders will say about you?"
"Grandma, what outsiders say is other people's business. I grew up in Xuanqing Temple since I was a child. Even if I stay in the mansion, my reputation is not as good as those rich ladies..."
"Nonsense, if you stay in the mansion, I will ask your mother to hire a nanny to teach you. When you learn the rules and etiquette, I don't think anyone will dare to talk about you."
"Grandma, the mansion of Duke Zhao..."
The lady interrupted Ling Chu again before she finished speaking, "Didn't you smash the bridal sedan? What else are you worried about? Your grandfather and I will not agree to you becoming a concubine."
Although the lady strongly opposed it, Ling Chu was not moved.
She knew that her grandmother opposed her moving out just because she didn't want her to be out of control and wanted to use her marriage to seek benefits for the Ling Mansion.
"The Duke of Zhao's Mansion didn't send the concubine document at all, which means they won't give up. Grandmother, our Ling Mansion can't stand the tricks of the Duke of Zhao's Mansion now. If I move out, they won't make things difficult for you."
The old lady frowned tightly. Although she didn't want to admit it, the Ling Mansion couldn't stand the storm now.
But she knew that her husband had quietly gone out, although he didn't say what he was going to do. But after being married for many years, she knew that he must have gone to find his former relatives, old friends and colleagues for the marriage of his eldest granddaughter.
The old lady didn't say anything else, but secretly winked at Dong.
"Chu Jie'er, I know you are angry with mother. But mother has no choice. The Duke of Zhao's Mansion threatened your grandfather, father and your eldest brother. If I don't agree to give you to the son of the Duke of Zhao as a concubine, they will attack the Ling Mansion."
"Mother was afraid that they would get into trouble, so she had to agree. It's because mother is incompetent and wronged you."
Ling Chu didn't say anything, just looked at Dong quietly.
Dong looked guilty and helpless, even with red eyes and a painful expression.
But perhaps she was not the original body, and she did not feel anything about Dong's words.
"Chu Jie'er, mother knows that she was wrong. Since you don't want to go to the Zhaoguogong Mansion, forget it. Tomorrow, mother and your father will go to the Zhaoguogong Mansion to apologize."
She was so humble, this little bastard would give up the plan to move away.
Ling Chu glanced at Dong's hand holding the handkerchief, and said in a light voice, "No need, you give me the land deed and the silver note, I will take it back to the Zhaoguogong Mansion."
Dong was secretly annoyed. Qing'er's marriage was ruined by this little bastard. The silver note and land deed were her compensation to Qing'er.
"It's not appropriate for a girl like you to be involved in this kind of thing. I will naturally return it to the Duke Zhao's mansion tomorrow."
"Chu Jie'er, listen to your mother. Let your mother and father handle this matter." Seeing that Ling Chu didn't mention moving away again, the lady didn't want to say more about it.
She quickly changed the subject, "Okay, it's getting late, let's set up the meal."
Ling Chu didn't say anything else, not because she gave up the idea of moving away after listening to the lady and Dong's words.
But she didn't want to get entangled with them any more.
She came here only to inform them that the female household was established, not to discuss with them.
Now that the household registration was obtained, how could she stay in the Ling Mansion and let them control her.
Ling Chu planned to go back to pack up after dinner and move to the new house tomorrow.
Dong was in charge of the household. When she heard the lady call for the meal, she immediately stood up, "Mother, I will tell the maid to serve the meal, and by the way, see if Brother Hao's medicine is ready."
The lady nodded in response. She was worried about her eldest grandson's health in the past two days.
Ling Chu drank tea quietly and waited for the maid to serve the meal.
After half a cup of tea, Dong came back.
The lady asked about Ling Hao's health for a few words. When she learned that he had taken the medicine, she was relieved and told the maid to serve the dishes.
Halfway through the meal, the maid served a dish of old hen soup.
The maid served it in small bowls and brought it to everyone one by one.
The cook cooked this soup well, and added medicinal herbs. The aroma was so fragrant that even Ling Chu couldn't help but salivate.
Putting down the chopsticks in his hand, Ling Chu picked up the chicken soup and prepared to start eating.
However, without any warning, the system suddenly rang.
[Ding! ]
[Knockout drug detected, please pay attention to the host. ]
Ling Chu paused while scooping the soup and looked down at the bowl in his hand.
The chicken soup was golden in color and had an attractive aroma. Although the soup was still a little hot, Ling Chu's heart cooled down little by little. (End of this chapter)
