False Eunuch: With Many Children, I'm as Happy as a Fish in Water

According to Wang Xifeng, she used borrowed money to sell these grains at high prices during the disaster.

"Now this Jia Mansion is only bright on the surface."

When Wang Xifeng said this, there was a hint of resentment in her charming eyes.

"Rong Ning's Second Mansion has been losing money these years, and I still have to take care of the food, clothing, housing and transportation of thousands of people. Is it easy?"

"Auntie, I have to put a lot of money into it!"

When Lin Chen heard this, a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.

This complaint does not appear to be false.

But he generally knew how true or false Wang Xifeng's words were.

Wang Xifeng made a lot of money in the book by contracting lawsuits and lending interest.

Lin Chen didn't believe that all the money was for the Jia family.

With Wang Xifeng's smart temperament, the most important thing is herself.

Of course, Lin Chen didn't intend to expose the cover-up in Wang Xifeng's words, but just asked about the origin of this batch of food.

"this......"

When mentioning this, Wang Xifeng seemed a little hesitant.

"Forget it, I didn't know that my aunt owed you, my enemy, in my previous life!"

Wang Xifeng patted Lin Chen moderately.

"I bought all this food from the Sitong Chamber of Commerce through my connections, and it cost my aunt more than 40,000 taels of silver!"

Mentioning the more than 40,000 taels of silver, Wang Xifeng felt extremely distressed.

This was all the personal money she had saved over the years. She originally thought she could make it back several times, but she didn't expect that it would all be confiscated by Lin Chen.

"Sitong Chamber of Commerce?"

"A month ago, the Sitong Chamber of Commerce spread the news that it had stockpiled a lot of food." Wang Xifeng said, with a look of pride on her pretty face, "Ordinary people will never know this news."

When Lin Chen heard what Wang Xifeng said, he couldn't help but have a playful expression on his face.

"How much grain has this Sitong Chamber of Commerce sold?"

Wang Xifeng was startled when he heard this, and said uncertainly: "Maybe a hundred thousand stones."

Not to mention why a chamber of commerce has so much ready food.

Also, why doesn't the Sitong Chamber of Commerce keep these grains and sell them later when the price of grains doubles?

Even Wang Xifeng could tell a month ago that food prices were going to rise.

Lin Chen didn't believe in these profit-seeking merchants and couldn't figure out the secret behind them.

There is only one possibility.

That is the Sitong Chamber of Commerce, which is eager to sell this batch of food.

"Whose path does this Sitong Chamber of Commerce follow?" Lin Chen asked Wang Xifeng softly.

Whose access?

Wang Xifeng suddenly took a deep look at Lin Chen and whispered his name.

"Prince Duan!"

…

Wang Xifeng returned to Jia's house with rather awkward steps, holding a stack of silver notes worth 40,000 taels in her arms.

"This stinky man still has some conscience."

Thinking of everything, Wang Xifeng smiled slightly and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Young mistress."

Ping'er, who was Wang Xifeng's personal maid, had a look of doubt on her beautiful face.

When the young lady went out today, was she wearing this kind of clothes?

Seemingly noticing Ping'er's scrutinizing eyes, Wang Xifeng frowned and said angrily: "Why don't you go prepare hot water quickly? I need to take a shower and change clothes."

If outsiders saw Wang Xifeng's stern expression, they would probably wonder if there was something about themselves that made the young mistress angry.

However, Ping'er was not afraid at all, and instead pursed his lips and smiled.

"yes."

Immediately, Ping'er, who returned to the inner room with Wang Xifeng, also noticed something strange about Wang Xifeng's steps.

"Young lady, what are you doing?"

"My foot is twisted."

When Wang Xifeng talked about this, his face turned a little unnaturally red.

The maid Ping'er didn't notice anything was wrong, she just thought that her young mistress was not feeling well today.

As a close confidant of Wang Xifeng, Ping'er knew that it was better not to interfere with some things.

It's just that this smart maid would never think that her young mistress would do such a thing with a foreign man.

After Wang Xifeng washed herself and changed into regular clothes, she took a sip of tea.

"Young mistress, your complexion has improved a lot today." Ping'er combed Wang Xifeng's hair and did not forget to praise her.

"You're the only one who knows how to talk."

Wang Xifeng gave Ping'er a compliment.

Ping'er yelled at Qu, saying that he was speaking from the bottom of his heart and was not lying.

Just when the master and servant were joking.

Listen to the announcement from the boy outside the house.

"Second Master Lian is back!"

Just heard a noise outside the hall.

A group of boys walked in, embracing a fair-skinned man with oily hair and pink face.

This is the second master Lian of Rongguo Mansion.

If nothing else, Jia Lian's appearance is considered handsome.

Wang Xifeng looked at Jia Lian, but for some reason, she felt a little bored.

At the same time, a few words popped up in my mind.

Silver pewter tip.

Even on the bed...

Pooh!

Wang Xifeng, who thought of something, secretly spat, and her expression returned to its normal state.

Jia Lian entered the room with a smile on his face, seemingly very happy, and humming a tune.

"came back?"

Wang Xifeng didn't have a good look on her face.

She already knew what her husband had done during this time.

When she thought of this, Wang Xifeng became a little angry.

Jia Lian was stunned when he saw Wang Xifeng's unkind expression.

Although he didn't know what kind of evil fire the other party had, he could only put a smile on his face and take out the things he had prepared.

"Look, what I brought back to you from Jiangnan this time."

Jia Lian prides himself on being a romantic, but is it not easy to control Wang Xifeng?

Wang Xifeng took a closer look and saw Jia Lian handing over a white jade finger ring, worth about a hundred taels of silver.

Seeing this, Wang Xifeng smiled coldly in her heart.

"Why does this thumb ring look like something from Fuguifang in Beijing?"

Wang Xifeng pretended not to know, just to scare Jia Lian.

really.

Hearing the words "Fuguifang", Jia Lian was so frightened that his back became sweaty.

Could it be that his affairs were exposed?

But Jia Lian calmed down immediately.

If Wang Xifeng knew what happened to him, he would definitely make him cry, make trouble, and hang himself. How could he be so calm?

Jia Lian comforted himself and just thought it was a coincidence.

"Ha, haha, then Fuguifang does have a branch in Hangzhou."

Seeing Jia Lian like this, Wang Xifeng was too lazy to say anything. She waved her handkerchief and asked Ping'er to help her up.

"So how much money did you earn from your trip to Jiangnan?"

With Ping'er's support, Wang Xifeng lay on her side on the imperial concubine's couch, half-smiling.

"Hey, I didn't make any money, but my capital was discounted."

Jia Lian pretended to be unlucky, but his eyes fell on Wang Xifeng's exquisite figure.

Take a closer look.

Jia Lian just discovered that Wang Xifeng had not been seen for many days, and his skin was moist and smooth, which made him a little moved.

"Huh. Lost your capital? Did you spend it all on Xiao Hong?"

Wang Xifeng didn't expose Jia Lian, but she didn't have the temper to continue the conversation.

"Ping'er, you go out first."

Jia Lian swallowed, a little anxious.

Wang Xifeng frowned slightly when she saw Jia Lian pulling at her.

"Don't touch me, I don't feel well today!"
