Being a Lady of an Influential Family: 35、Ms. Zhuo’s Extra Story: Shaohua is Full of Love (7)

Zhuolin finally got into the carriage, and Mrs. Sheng didn't want to stay for a moment and went out of the city.

When the carriage left the city, Zhuo Lin asked, "Going to the Northeast by carriage? Can I make it to my cousin's wedding?" Now that there are trains between Beijing and the four northern provinces, it is much better than a horse-drawn carriage in terms of time, cost and even comfort.

Mrs. Sheng said, "What kind of train do you take? There are people from all three religions and nine classes on that train, so you don't have to get dirty!"

Zhuolin is a little funny, "Did you come to the capital by carriage from Jiangnan all the way?"

The second brother of the Sheng family, who accompanied them in a car, said, "We took the Wei family's boat to the north, and we changed the carriage when we arrived at the Jingcheng Ferry."

Zero Lin nodded, almost forgetting that she could still walk by water.

But even so, Zhuo Lin didn't quite believe that Mrs. Sheng really planned to go all the way to the four northern provinces by carriage.

Sure enough, the carriage did not head northeast after leaving the capital, but turned south.

"Where are you taking me?" Zhuo Lin sat in the carriage, glanced at Mrs. Sheng who was leaning against the carriage, closed her eyes and rested her eyes on the second brother Sheng.

Second brother Sheng looked at his younger sister, looking a little embarrassed, and looked at his mother, bowing her head and not speaking.

Zhuolin sneered, "Do you believe I'll jump off this carriage now?"

Second brother Sheng was a little helpless, "Little sister, don't make trouble. This carriage runs fast, it's you who hurts when you fall."

Zhuolin said with a smile, "Yes, it's me who suffers from the fall, but isn't it you who lost?" Second brother Sheng's expression changed slightly, and he didn't say anything embarrassingly.

Mrs. Sheng, who had not spoken, opened her eyes, looked at Zhuo Lin, and said lightly, "Don't say that you fell disabled today. Even if you fall to your death, you will have to go where you should go."

Zhuolin stared at her and said solemnly, "So, you really intend to sell me."

Mrs. Sheng's face became very ugly. She has always been proud of her identity and family. Such an arrogant person naturally cannot tolerate others saying that she sold her daughter, although everyone knows that it is true.

Just like when Sheng Zhuoyan, who was in his prime, was married to the weak and doomed eldest young master of the Wei family, who wouldn't understand what was going on? But who would dare to say it in front of her?

"You should have gotten married long ago at this age. Your family has chosen the marriage for you. You just need to obey." Mrs. Sheng said coldly.

"How much did you charge?" Zhuo Lin asked relentlessly, vowing to tear off her last fig leaf.

"..." There was silence in the carriage, only the sound of wheels running over the ground outside and the sound of horses stepping on the road.

The dignified atmosphere in the carriage made Second Brother Sheng feel a little unbearable, so he had to cough lightly: "Well, I'll go to the back to see Big Brother."

The women in their family are gentler than the eldest sister. The mother and the younger sister are stronger than the other.

Zhuolin chuckled and suddenly reached out and grabbed Brother Sheng's collar. Second brother Sheng was stunned, and before he could speak, Zhuo Lin found a gun out of nowhere and put it against his chin.

"Little...Little sister, what are you doing?" Second Brother Sheng was so frightened that he hurriedly said in a trembling voice. Why does she have a gun on her? !

Zhuolin smiled: "Second brother, why did my mother have to sell me in such a hurry this time?"

Second brother Sheng carefully stared at the gun pipe, "What are you selling... Little sister, don't talk nonsense, my mother just wants you to see each other. That family is also a wealthy family in the north, and you won't suffer if you marry in the past. ."

Zhuo Lin glanced at Mrs. Sheng with a livid face and said, "So mother is just worried that I won't be able to get married? That's okay, let's go back to the capital now, and I'll get married tomorrow."

Second brother Sheng was a little surprised, only to hear Zhuo Lin say, "A few days ago, there were a lot of people in Beijing asking me for relatives. I still prefer scholars, and one of them happened to be a middle school teacher not far from our school. A college student, who is only three years older than me, looks good, and I think it's acceptable."

"A middle school teacher?" Second Brother Sheng asked.

Zhuo Lin smiled, "Yeah, it seems to be a person from a small town around the capital. Now that I can gain a firm foothold in the capital, I can be considered to be motivated. Anyway, I won't need him to support me in the future. After we get married, we will work hard together. , it's not difficult to live in the capital. In this way, my parents and two brothers don't have to worry about me? Mom, do you think it's okay?"

"Shut up!" Mrs. Sheng said coldly. That's what she hated the most about her daughter. The eyes are too sharp, and the heart is too clear. It's enough to understand, she still wants to say it to make people embarrassed.

"What do you want to do? Do you want to kill your brother? Or do you want to kill me too? Try it out, I want to see what kind of evil the Sheng family has raised!" Mrs. Sheng sneered. , apparently determined not to shoot.

Zhuo Lin was not surprised, she nodded and said, "It's really not good to kill a relative by yourself, then mother... let's play luck. Whoever lives and who dies is up to God's will."

Mrs. Sheng was stunned, Zhuo Lin suddenly raised the curtain and said to the driver outside, "Stop, get down!"

The people driving outside had already heard the conversation inside, but the host didn't tell them to act rashly. Hearing Zhuo Lin's voice, she restrained the reins, and when she looked back, she was shocked when she saw the gun in Zhuo Lin's hand, "Second, Second Miss?!!"

"Go down." Zhuo Lin said lightly.

The driver didn't dare to delay or look at Mrs. Sheng, so he jumped out of the car quickly.

The car at the back had to stop after seeing that the car in front had stopped. The elder brother of the Sheng family was about to jump out of the car and come to inquire about the situation. Zhuo Lin raised her hand and fired a shot outside, "Brother, don't move. "

“…”

Zhuolin looked at Madam Sheng with a smile and said, "Mother, let's play a game."

Mrs. Sheng looked at Zhuo Lin coldly, Zhuo Lin said, "I still have five bullets in this gun, and I fired five shots in the front. If we are still alive after the horse stops, I will lose. If I I'm dead, you can sell my body to whomever you want, no complaints."

"Little sister, you...don't be impulsive..." Second brother Sheng was so frightened by the smile on Zhuo Lin's face that he couldn't help trembling.

The horse they pulled the carriage was not a military horse, and the horse was already restless just after the shot. If Zhuo Lin hits the horse with any shot, it will make the horse go mad and the carriage overturns.

Zhuo Lin said, "I'm not impulsive, second brother, don't be afraid. Even if you die, there is still a big brother in our family to inherit the incense, and there will be no future."

"..." Why am I so worried about this?

Zhuolin said, "Otherwise, tell me, why is my mother in such a hurry? I can play this game with my mother."

Second brother Sheng looked at Zhuo Lin and Madam Sheng, whether it was because he had too much prestige or he didn't dare to disobey his mother.

Zhuolin said: "After I shoot, it will be too late even if I regret it myself." With a slight movement of his finger on the trigger, Second Brother Sheng couldn't help but stretch out his hand to grab Zhuo Lin's gun. .

Zhuolin started mercilessly, taking advantage of her position and pressing down hard and hitting him in the face with a gun.

Second brother Sheng was so painful that he could hardly breathe, and the tears couldn't stop flowing.

Second brother Sheng was originally a weak scholar, even if his physical strength was stronger than Zhuo Lin's, his strength was limited. Zhuo Lin went out to study early. Although she was not very good at it, she still had some self-defense means.

Mrs. Sheng's face was pale and she was shaking with anger, staring at her daughter, but she was not willing to admit defeat no matter what.

Zhuo Lin's expression was much calmer, and she smiled softly, "Mother don't look at me like this, it stands to reason that you gave birth to me and raised me, I shouldn't treat you like this. But... if you just want I will pay you back the grace of birth, and I can give you my life if you want."

Mrs. Sheng gritted her teeth and said, "I just want you to get married! Which girl is not like this? Ayan was the same back then, why are you special?"

Zhuolin said: "Although you don't give me the right to choose my life, I can give you the right to choose my death. Other than that, you can't control anything about me. Do you really just want me to get married? Does not include being a good wife and good mother after marriage, and trying to subsidize her parents' family by the way? Then, on my wedding night, blood splashes in the bridal chamber, or one day I kill someone at my husband's house, you probably don't mind?"

Mrs. Sheng almost roared, "She raised you, what's wrong with asking you to repay now?!"

Zhuo Lin's eyes are cold, "I can also repay the Sheng family's kindness of fertility, why must I sacrifice my life?"

Mrs. Sheng sneered and said with some disdain, "You? How good are you? How many years will it take?"

"..." The smile on Zhuo Lin's face was a little more bitter and helpless, and she shook her head and said, "Forget it, mother, since that's the case... let's gamble our lives."

"No, don't..." Second brother Sheng covered his face with tears and trembled: "Little sister... Don't, let me go first! Let me go!"

"Speak."

Second brother Sheng paused for a moment, then shook his body and said: "Mother...Mother wants to donate a position of the same and the same knowledge to the eldest brother, and it will cost 50,000 or 50,000 taels of silver."

Zhuolin was unmoved and said lightly, "What else?"

"Also...also, I lost some money doing business with people before."

"How much?"

Second brother Sheng swallowed, "Ten, hundreds of thousands..."

Zhuo Lin said, "It seems that the Wei family doesn't want to keep such a large group of worms as the Sheng family?"

The Wei family is rich in the south of the Yangtze River, but not a fool with a lot of money and money. Zhuo Lin grew up in the Sheng family and knew a little about the Sheng family. The girl didn't say anything. Since childhood, she was locked up at home to learn how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. But these men and ladies, the pomp is bigger than the other.

And the more it declines, the greater the pomp, as if this is the only way to show the world that the Sheng family is still prosperous.

Once Zhuo Lin heard her sister talk about it, saying that although the Wei family is rich, they might not be as good as the Sheng family in terms of ostentation. The Sheng family also took it for granted. How could a nouveau riche like the Wei family be qualified to compare with them?

Second brother Sheng said carefully, "That... The Wei family has been a little chaotic recently. The eldest sister has never been..."

Zhuo Lin understands that the Wei family has a large population and the family is chaotic. After her sister married, she has not been pregnant since she was married.

The Wei family has long been impatient to deal with blood-sucking insects like the Sheng family. Now that the Sheng family is short of more than 200,000 taels, the Wei family will naturally ignore it. You know, 200,000 taels is at least half of the Wei family's annual profit.

Jolin asked, "Who is my mother going to sell me to?"

Second brother Sheng said: "Tongcheng Zheng family, the young son of the Zheng family. The Zheng family said that as long as you are willing to marry, the Zheng family is willing to pay 300,000 taels of betrothal gifts." This betrothal gift is definitely a big deal, although Today, silver is not as valuable as it was in earlier years, but it is still a huge sum of money that is unimaginable for ordinary people.

The most prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River is only 50,000 taels from the five grades, which shows what a sky-high price of 300,000 taels.

If it was only used to donate officials, the Sheng family could use the 300,000 taels to donate six fifth-rank officials.

Zhuo Lin was a little curious, "Why did the Zheng family pay so many betrothal gifts?" After her sister got married, the Wei family's betrothal gifts did not have this amount.

Second brother Sheng hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Then... the young son of the Sheng family, there is something wrong with his brain. The ancestors of the Zheng family were also from high officials, and now Mrs. Zheng's family is also a second-rank official in the imperial court, and the average family's The girl doesn't like it very much..." The Zheng family, a girl from ordinary families, doesn't like it, and who is worthy of the Zheng family's family background, who would want to marry a daughter to someone with a brain problem? So just throw money at it.

As long as you spend enough money, there will always be a few noble families who are short of money who are willing to donate their daughters, such as the Sheng family.

Besides, the Sheng family and the Zheng family are far apart. If this marriage really happens, people in Jiangnan may not know that the second daughter of the Sheng family is married to someone with a problem in her head.

Zhuo Lin was about to laugh angrily, nodded and said, "Okay, you can go down."

Second brother Sheng timidly glanced at Mrs. Sheng with a gloomy face, and finally got out of the car without saying anything.

There was silence in the carriage. A group of people stood outside but no one dared to approach. After all, Zhuo Lin was the only one with a gun in her hand.

Zhuo Lin looked at Mrs. Sheng with some emotion, "Mother, let's go."

"Wait!" Mrs. Sheng gritted her teeth with a gloomy face.

Zhuo Lin tilted her head slightly and looked at her, and Mrs. Sheng said coldly, "Do you really have such a heartless heart? Would rather watch your two brothers suffer? I would rather die with your mother than contribute to the Sheng family. Don't forget, your two brothers also hurt you when you were young."

Zhuo Lin is a little funny, "What did they suffer? If you want to be an official, you can't pass the exam. If you lose money in business, you will have to sell your sister? Mother, is our family really not paying the money?" There is not much money, but there are a lot of assets and antiques handed down from the ancestors.

Mrs. Sheng didn't speak, and Zhuo Lin said slowly, "No, you just think that selling a daughter is the best deal. After all, the ancestral property passed down by the ancestors will be gone, and the Sheng family will also be ashamed. I love my two brothers, but now I guess my mother regrets that she didn't give birth to more girls."

Mrs. Sheng snapped, "I ask you! Are you really so cruel?!"

Zhuolin nodded calmly, "Yes, even if I don't want this life, I won't let you earn a penny by selling me."

"Then you will die!" Mrs. Sheng said with a twisted expression, "You said that I gave birth to you and raised you, and that you are willing to repay the kindness of my life. Then you will die now!"

"Okay." Zhuo Lin smiled and turned the gun to her chin, "If you want, I'll give it to you."

The corners of Mrs. Sheng's lips were tightly pursed, and her eyes were fixed on Zhuo Lin's eyes.

She hopes to see fear or threat in Zhuo Lin's eyes, but Zhuo Lin's eyes are very calm from beginning to end, as if she is not a gun but a delicate flower on her jaw.

Mrs. Sheng finally couldn't help trembling, "You are crazy...you crazy!"

Zhuolin smiled, "Mother, you should be glad that you didn't give me time to prepare for your actions today. You are my biological mother, and I really can't do anything about you, but that doesn't mean I don't know your weaknesses. What. But it's useless to say that now, bye."

Mrs. Sheng opened her mouth to say something. But for some reason, she found that she couldn't make any sound, and could only stare at the girl in front of her with her mouth wide open in vain.

I saw that she put her finger on the trigger, her finger began to exert a little force, and her eyes shrank in horror to find that she was still smiling.

"Bang!"

"Ahhh!!!" The gunshots and the woman's shrill screams sounded at the same time.

"Mother! Little sister!" The terrified voices of the Sheng brothers also sounded outside.

At the same time, there was a somewhat exasperated male voice, "Zolin! How are you? Are you in there?"

The blood splattered as expected did not happen. Zhuo Lin was a little surprised to hear the sound from outside, opened the curtain of the carriage and leaned out to look at the person who made the sound, "Fu Zheng? You are not going back to the south. Is it?"

The buttons of Fu Zheng's uniform were loose, his hair was a little messy, and there was a little bit of sweat on his forehead.

He is holding Brother Sheng's brother in one hand and a gun in the other, and the gun is pressing against Brother Sheng's temple.

Seeing Zhuo Lin, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Are you okay?"

Zhuolin smiled, "It's okay, what can I do?"

Fu Zheng lifted his chin slightly, "What's going on inside?" Mrs. Sheng's cry inside didn't stop, and it sounded quite intimidating.

Zhuolin said: "Scared."

"..." Fu Zheng didn't want to ask Zhuo Lin what she had done to frighten her own mother into such a state.

"Why are you here?" Zhuo Lin asked.

Fu Zheng said confidently, "Aren't you the one who sent a letter to ask for help?"

Zhuolin said: "My letter doesn't seem to be for you."

Fu Zhengdao: "But it's in my hands, isn't it fate? Can I go?"

Zhuolin nodded, "Let's go."

Mrs. Sheng in the carriage finally calmed down, but looking at Zhuo Lin's eyes, she no longer had the original arrogance and strength, and she was only left in shock and panic.

"Are you kidding me?"

Zhuolin smiled, "Just kidding my mother, how could I kill myself?"

Zhuo Lin got up and jumped out of the carriage, turned and said to Mrs. Sheng in the car: "I will pay back the Sheng family's gift of childbirth. I will send the bill back to the Sheng family tomorrow, and it will take effect after my father and mother confirm it."

Mrs. Sheng said: "Do you want to cut ties with the Sheng family?"

Zhuolin said, "It's my mother who wants me to repay my kindness. As for whether the Sheng family recognizes me, you have the final say. But I won't let anyone manipulate my life, even my parents. Mother, don't mess with me. I. I won't attack you, but that doesn't mean I won't touch your baby bump." After speaking, Zhuo Lin turned to Fu Zhengdao, "Let's go."

Fu Zheng nodded, threw Brother Sheng aside and said, "Let's go."

Brother Sheng blushed, "Little, little sister...you can't go."

Zhuolin looked at him condescendingly, "Brother, did you understand what I said just now? Or you didn't know that your sister is not a good-natured person."

Brother Sheng couldn't help shuddering at Zhuo Lin's eyes. A group of people watched as Fu Zheng helped Zhuo Lin onto a horse parked on the roadside. The horse is gone.

"Mother..." After a while, Second Brother Sheng cautiously walked to the side of the carriage and looked at Mrs. Sheng, who was sitting inside, looking a little embarrassed, and said in a low voice, "Now... what should I do now?"

Mrs. Sheng glanced at the weak son and said coldly, "Go away!"

She has been strong all her life, but her husband and son are weak and incompetent.

The only person who has a personality that resembles her is Zhuo Lin, the youngest daughter who has always made her dissatisfied. Perhaps it is precisely because they are both strong-willed people that their mother and daughter's concerns have not been close since childhood.

Now...

Mrs. Sheng closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and her brows were a little dejected.

If it wasn't for her son, she wouldn't want to provoke Sheng Zhuolin. She knows the character of the daughter she gave birth to. She is really anxious that Zhuo Lin can really do something that will break the net.

"This evil girl!" Mrs. Sheng said with trembling lips and gritted teeth.
