Mrs. Zeng sneered coldly: "Having been married for decades, don't I know his temperament? How dare he provoke the Pei family with such a covetous person who fears death?"

"If it wasn't for the sake of the child, or for the face of the Tang family, I would have reconciled with him a long time ago!" Madam Zeng said this, her eyes were full of hatred, "One day, I will let him do it for this time." Pay for everything."

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman said in a low voice: "But my lord... is the prince's man after all, will we anger the prince by doing this?"

Mrs. Zeng lowered her eyes and hid all her hatred: "Of course, now is not the time to break with him. Not only that, but I also want to help him lure Changning County Lord out, so as to give him a chance to do things cheaply."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman sighed softly in her heart.

"Madam, you have really worked hard these years."

Madam Zeng raised her eyelids and smiled coldly: "Yes, over the years, there have been countless things just to wipe his buttocks, I am really tired of it!"

"Get ready, go to Changning county lord." Mrs. Zeng said quietly, "Changning county lord came to Cangzhou for the first time, so we naturally want to do our best as landlords."

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman sighed in her heart, the wife was dragged onto this thief boat after all.

"I'm going to prepare presents now, my maidservant. It's just that Changning County Lord grew up with a thousand pampers and was born in a beautiful pile like Pei's family. The things we send..." She was a little uneasy, "Do you want to give me gifts?" thicker?"

Mrs. Zeng waved her hand: "No, she's used to seeing good things. In a remote place like Cangzhou, what can catch her eyes? It's better to prepare something unique."

Speaking of this, Mrs. Zeng's eyes changed: "I remember, my lord once got a string of pearl bracelets of different colors? Go to the warehouse and get the bracelet. Although it is not as precious as the South Pearl and the East Pearl, But it’s also novel.”

Unexpectedly, as soon as these words were spoken, the complexion of the middle-aged woman beside her changed: "Ma'am... I'm afraid... I'm afraid that the bracelet has been given to that vixen by adults."

Seeing that Madam Zeng's face was as dark as the bottom of a pot at this moment, the middle-aged woman immediately lowered her head.

She has been with Mrs. Zeng for more than ten years, and she has never seen such an ugly expression on her face, so she said cautiously: "Madam, why don't you go and get that bracelet back?"

Mrs. Zeng's face was cold, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Bring it back? Who is Changning county master? It's extremely shabby to give this bracelet. If we send another bracelet used by a concubine, then we will have to give it away." Enmity with her!"

She is not even willing to use something that a concubine has used, let alone the noble Changning county head?

"That's all!" Mrs. Zeng closed her eyes, gritted her teeth fiercely, "Bring me the emerald step shaker I got when I got married, as a gift for the county magistrate."

As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged woman immediately knelt down: "Madam, that is your dowry!"

In the state of Chu, a woman’s dowry is private property. Even if she dies, she will leave it to her own children alone. The husband’s family can’t use a penny, but any decent family will not use the woman’s dowry. today……

Mrs. Zeng saw the hesitation in her eyes, and sneered, "Bi Hua, you are also confused. All these years, I have used more than just this dowry?"

"It's useless, and it's useless to say those words at this time." Her eyes were fierce, "He owes me, and I will ask him to pay back the money with interest sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Bihua sighed deeply in her heart, and walked towards the inner room with her head down.

Bihua's hands were trembling when he took out this emerald step rocker. Even if this step rocker is placed in the capital, it is a rare treasure, so it is just given away as a gift... Madam's sacrifice is indeed a bit big .

"Let's go." Mrs. Zeng waved her hand, "It's time to meet Changning County Lord."

As soon as he walked to the courtyard gate, the haze on Mrs. Zeng's face disappeared.

Bihua stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.

A little maid's voice sounded from inside, followed by footsteps.

As soon as she opened the door and saw Mrs. Zeng, the little girl was stunned: "Madam, why are you here?"

Mrs. Zeng showed a gentle smile: "Is the county lord in the yard? I'm here on a special trip to visit the county lord today!"

The little maid was from the Zeng family, but she was afraid of Gu Ning's identity, so she froze in place for a while, it was Chunyu who walked out of the bedroom quickly and welcomed Mrs. Zeng in.

"Mrs. Zeng came by coincidence, the county lord is just about to go out."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng was overjoyed, it really didn't take much effort to get there, so it saved her a lot of trouble.

There was a smile on her face, and she treated Chunyu very kindly, without any pretensions of an official's wife: "Coincidentally, I came today to invite the county magistrate to go out for a visit and experience the different customs and customs of our Cangzhou."

Before Chunyu could answer, she said again: "Although Cangzhou is a bit remote, the scenery is not inferior to those famous rivers in the south of the Yangtze River. Moreover, since the county lord is going to come to Cangzhou to recuperate, he naturally wants to choose a good place to live. Although my house is Big, but the location is not clean.”

After Mrs. Zeng spoke a series of words, Chunyu had no chance to intervene.

At this time, behind Chunyu, a slim woman came out.

Ren Shi was as qualitative as Mrs. Zeng, and he still shook his head when he saw her appearance.

No wonder, when everyone was saying that Changning county magistrate was stupid, they would always mention her beautiful skin. When I saw her today, it was no wonder that even the two princes from the enemy country wanted to marry her.

"But Guanzhou and Cangzhou are so close, what if Cangzhou is involved in the flames of war?" Gu Ning frowned, with a little uneasiness in his eyes, "I'm still a little worried."

Although Mrs. Zeng hated Zeng Zhizhou very much, she still had high hopes for Zeng Zhizhou's official career. Gu Ning said that, in Mrs. Zeng's opinion, it was no different from cursing Zeng Zhizhou.

Mrs. Zeng's Qi-nourishing Kungfu is also well practiced, even after hearing this sentence, she still didn't change her expression.

She even showed a kind smile at Gu Ning: "Don't worry, the county lord, Guanzhou is hundreds of miles away from Cangzhou. If the rebels want to attack Cangzhou, Cangzhou will not be unprepared, not to mention that the rebels have just laid down In a city, they also need to cultivate their health and rest, and they are unable to continue to attack Cangzhou."

"Furthermore, even if the county lord doesn't believe his wife's words, he should still believe in General Pei's ability. In two days, General Pei will arrive. An army of [-] is enough to wipe out the rebels in one fell swoop."

A strange light flashed in Gu Ning's eyes: "Madam Zeng is better at talking than Zeng Zhizhou."

Hearing this, Mrs. Zeng secretly squeezed her palms tightly: "My wife is also from the capital, and I have heard of General Pei's name for a long time. The feat of General Pei's capture of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun resounded through the entire Great Chu."

Regarding Mrs. Zeng's words, Gu Ning was noncommittal.

It's not that the whole family doesn't come into the house, Zeng Zhizhou's useless wife must not be a fuel-efficient lamp, and I have been in Zeng's house for three days, she has never appeared before, but now she comes to the door, maybe there is a conspiracy.

There were many thoughts in Gu Ning's mind, but when facing Mrs. Zeng, he could still pretend to be ignorant and ignorant of the world: "Okay, then I will go out with you."

Seeing her let go, Mrs. Zeng secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

"Bihua, bring the things." Mrs. Zeng beckoned to her side, and Bihua immediately walked up to Gu Ning with the exquisite brocade box. Mrs. Zeng said, "The county lord has been here for three days. However, the minister's wife was stuck with some trivial matters, so she couldn't come to greet the county magistrate in time, it was the minister's wife's fault."

"This is a step carefully chosen by the minister's wife for the county lord. Please don't refuse some small wishes."

Mrs. Zeng's every sentence was very appropriate, and she even explained the reason why she had ignored Gu Ning for three days: "Because all the people in Guanzhou came to Cangzhou, the minister's wife had to set up a settlement with other officials and family members. The porridge shed helps the victims, the county magistrate has a kind heart, so he probably won't blame his wife for this matter."

Under Mrs. Zeng's gaze, Gu Ning nodded slowly: "Of course I won't blame you, Madam, for this matter."

As she spoke, she opened the brocade box that Bihua handed over with her own hands.

Inside is a step rock inlaid with emeralds, the main stone is even the size of a thumb, and it looks more and more radiant and delicate in the sun.

Gu Ning raised his eyebrows, and a sincere surprise flashed across his beautiful peach eyes: "Madam Zeng has a heart, I like this gift you gave me very much."

She closed the box with a swipe and asked Chunyu to put it in her makeup box.

Seeing Gu Ning's actions, Mrs. Zeng's heart was bleeding.

She likes such a good Bu Yao, but she has never worn it once in a remote and poor place like Cangzhou, but when she has nothing to do, she will take it out and play with it, and now she just gives it away like this people!

Thinking of this, Madam Zeng was very sad.

But when Gu Ning looked at it with ignorant eyes, she maintained the original smile on her face, and whispered softly: "The county lord, the minister's wife will take you around the city today."

"My wife is not talented, but I have accumulated some savings over the years. I have bought houses all over Cangzhou. Look at the area you like the most, and my wife will give you the house there."

Mrs. Zeng's big handwriting made Gu Ning's heart hang even higher.

No matter what you are doing, you are either a traitor or a thief!

She recited this sentence silently, then waved her hand at Mrs. Zeng: "No, I don't want your things. I brought enough money to Cangzhou this time, not to mention buying a house, even if I bought this piece of land." The house is not a problem."

When Madam Zeng saw the large market she was pointing at, the corners of her mouth twitched. She knew that the Pei family was arrogant, but today she found that her imagination was not rich enough.

With such a large market, even if her mother's family, the Tang family, can't buy it with all their savings, Gu Ning alone can own so much money!
