Seeing this, Zeng Zhizhou's face looked much better, and he warned: "Don't worry, as long as you complete this matter, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not treat us badly!"

"You poison Changning county magistrate, I'll poison General Pei!" Zeng Zhizhou sneered, "If these two things are done, the crown prince will save our family's life!"

"Is the prince crazy?" Mrs. Zeng stood up in a panic, her wide sleeves brushed against the teapot and cup on the table, and they shattered to the ground, and the scalding hot tea splashed on Zeng Zhizhou's body impartially.

"You are crazy!" Zeng Zhizhou shouted angrily, "It's just such a trivial matter, why should you panic?" "

"Small matter?" Mrs. Zeng asked with a cold face, "The fate of Chu depends on General Pei! Even if the city of Cangzhou is broken, as long as General Pei is still there, there is still a chance of recovery! But if even General Pei ..."

"Women's benevolence!" Zeng Zhizhou scolded, "Whether you want to save the lives of your sons and daughters! Or sacrifice your own and their lives for the sake of the so-called common people... It's all up to you!"

After finishing speaking, Zeng Zhizhou walked away angrily.

Seeing him leave quickly, Mrs. Zeng stood there in a daze, her eyes full of anxiety.

She closed her eyes, and the paper bag in her hand fell to the ground.

Is it for the small family... or for the big country?

At this moment, Mrs. Zeng was extremely confused.

……

Early the next morning, Gu Ning knocked on Mrs. Zeng's courtyard door.

Hearing that Gu Ning came looking for her, Mrs. Zeng's eyes flashed with guilt.

She subconsciously wanted to reject Gu Ning, but Bihua's reminder reminded her of the promise she had made to Gu Ning.

"Ma'am, you made an appointment with the county lord four days ago, and you are going to those jewelry shops today... If you say you are sick right now, the county lord may suspect that you look down on her."

Bihua still doesn't know Zeng Zhizhou's intentions, she is thinking of Madam Zeng wholeheartedly at this moment, after all Gu Ning is the apple of the eye of the Pei family, if Gu Ning is unhappy, once she goes back to Pei's house to file a complaint, Madam Zeng will definitely have no good fruit to eat.

Madam Zeng closed her eyes, feeling exhausted inside.

Although she hasn't made up her mind yet, she already has a choice in her heart. Seeing Gu Ning now is just adding guilt and guilt.

But the maid outside the door was cautiously urging her, and finally she gritted her teeth and walked out.

Gu Ning was standing in the front yard, wearing a bright yellow blouse and a blue pomegranate skirt. When she saw Mrs. Zeng, a bright smile appeared on her face: "Mrs. Zeng, let's go!"

Seeing Gu Ning's appearance, Madam Zeng's eyes suddenly showed pity.

Thinking of what Zeng Zhizhou said yesterday, emotions flickered in her eyes, and she finally put away those feelings of pity.

For the sake of her two children, she has no choice.

"Cangzhou has always been the only way between Shu and the capital. Before the rebellion in Shu, this trade route has been interrupted. Only some bold businessmen dared to travel between Shu and Cangzhou. You came at the right time. Just a few days before Guanzhou was occupied, a batch of good goods was sent to the Qizhen Pavilion, counting the days, they are almost finished the finished product."

Hearing this, Gu Ning's eyes lit up, and he nodded one after another: "Okay! I like spending money the most! And after the rebels occupied the Shu land, the Shu brocade was broken, and I can only wear the material of the previous few years!"

When she mentioned this, she became dissatisfied and said, "Today I must buy more Shu brocade materials. Besides the clothes, I also have to replace the worn-out set of Shu brocade mattresses!"

Hearing Gu Ning's words, Mrs. Zeng felt that the Pei family was rich.

A piece as big as a Shu brocade handkerchief is already worth a lot of money. The best of the Shu brocade was sent directly to the palace in the past few years. Even the Tang family can only get one or two horses as rewards, and they are all given to the elders of the clan or others. The clothes were cut by the younger generation who was about to marry. Before she got married, she only got a piece of Shu brocade as a dowry.

But Gu Ning is so extravagant that he uses Shu brocade as a bedding, so a bedding needs at least two pieces of Shu brocade to be made!

The county lord, who has been pampered and raised like this, will die under a glass of poisoned wine soon...

Ripples appeared in Madam Zeng's heart again, but thinking of her two children, she had to harden her heart.

The carriage slowly drove out of Zeng's house, the street was sparsely populated and very deserted, many shops were closed, only Qizhen Pavilion was still open, and there were quite a few people coming in and out, which was particularly conspicuous on the deserted street.

Gu Ning saw the pavement of Qizhen Pavilion at a glance, and she couldn't wait to get out of the carriage with Chunyu's support.

"Is this the Qizhen Pavilion?" Gu Ning's eyes lit up when he saw the various gemstones in the Qizhen Pavilion, as well as the jade jewelry that was clear without any impurities.

Cangzhou is indeed a place rich in emeralds and jade, in such a pavilion of rare treasures, she saw more than a dozen kinds of jewelry no less than the bracelet in her hand.

The bracelet on her wrist was carefully selected by the eldest princess. It was a gift from the Queen Mother when she got married. This bracelet is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver.

As soon as Gu Ning entered the Qizhen Pavilion, several staff warmly greeted him.

Those who can work in the Qizhen Pavilion are those with sharp eyes. They can tell at a glance that Gu Ning's status is either rich or noble. Facing such a master who is not short of money, of course they have to use all their skills.

Seeing that Gu Ning was eager to try, Chunyu coughed lightly, and whispered in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "County Lord, you are not here just to buy things today!"

"Don't forget the plan!"

"I have it in my mind."

Gu Ning patted the back of Chunyu's hand and blinked at her.

Seeing that Gu Ning had everything under control, Chunyu was stunned for a moment, and then understood again.

It was because she was too nervous, but she forgot that from the beginning of the acquaintance to the present, the county lord has never been impulsive, and every move she made was to pave the way for the plan!

After thinking about this, Chunyu followed behind Gu Ning calmly, and followed her around the Qizhen Pavilion. Soon, Chunyu's hands were full of brocade boxes.

Behind Chunyu, the hands of the two Qizhen Pavilion's assistants were also full of things.

Mrs. Zeng sat in the private room, watching Gu Ning slipping through the flowers like a butterfly, constantly pocketing the things she liked, she couldn't help feeling sour.

Bihua was also surprised: "I have seen the big world with you, but it's the first time I've seen someone as arrogant as the county lord..."

This is Qizhen Pavilion!

Even looking at the entire state of Chu, the Qizhen Pavilion is also well-known. The unique geographical location of Cangzhou itself makes Cangzhou a link connecting Shu and other parts of Chu. Zhenge has an outstanding advantage in this regard.

All the objects that can be placed in high places here are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, but the things that Gu Ning has at hand are all treasures that are placed in high places.

Bihua's words made Mrs. Zeng even more pantothenic.

She sighed: "People from the Pei family are naturally arrogant. The money she spent is only a drop in the bucket of the Pei family. The clothes and jewelry on her body alone are worth tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Just when Mrs. Zeng was feeling emotional, she suddenly saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Bihua's excited expression just now also became silent at this moment: "Ma'am... isn't that a vixen?"

She angrily pointed at the well-dressed woman opposite, who was Wanniang.

Wanniang was looking at the jewels and didn't notice Mrs. Zeng sitting in the private room.

Mrs. Zeng held the teacup in her hand, her face seemed calm, but a storm was already brewing in her eyes: "What is she here for?"

She didn't need anyone to answer this question, she could figure it out.

"It must be because of Zeng Qian." Mrs. Zeng sneered, "Zeng Qian, that bastard, while holding my dowry, squandered it for the outside room! He treats me... as the Tang family, is it just a show?"

Madam Tang said the last sentence with a roar.

The anger accumulated over the years and the memory of Gu Ning innocently talking about the family rules of the Pei family as a couple for a lifetime emerge together. She can't wait to go forward at this moment and tear Wanniang's face to pieces!

Bihua had never seen such a ferocious expression on Mrs. Zeng's face, and her words of persuasion were choked up.

"lady……"

"I know it well." Mrs. Zeng raised her hand and stopped Bihua's remaining words, "Don't worry, after I finish the matter, neither of this pair of dogs and men will be able to escape!"

Wanniang didn't know anything about it, she looked at the jewels placed high, her eyes were almost glued to them.

Seeing a guy coming up to meet her, she pointed at the jade bracelet she had long set her eyes on without hesitation, and said domineeringly: "Take it down for me! I want it!"

"I want this bracelet!"

At the same time Wanniang's voice fell, a crisp voice sounded.

Gu Ning raised his chin, looked at Wan Niang who appeared in front of him, and squinted his eyes: "Who are you? Do you know my identity? How dare you grab something from me!"

Hearing this, Wanniang laughed back angrily: "Do you know my identity? I am Mrs. Zhizhou!"

The clerks in the Qizhen Pavilion were breaking out in cold sweat. Zeng Zhizhou did not hide what he was doing. His affairs with Wanniang were aboveboard. If he was free, he would accompany Wanniang to the Qizhen Pavilion. The clerks naturally recognized it Wanniang's.

But Gu Ning, who suddenly appeared today, is extremely generous. Not to mention the jewelry she bought, just the rewards she gave to the buddy casually, the next piece is worth a few hundred taels.

One is a woman from Zhizhou who cannot be offended, and the other is a big customer...

The guys were frowning, wishing they could conjure up a bracelet on the spot.

However, the reason why the Qizhen Pavilion is the Qizhen Pavilion is because there is only one thing in the world!

Facing Wanniang's arrogance, Gu Ning snorted lightly: "Madam Zhizhou?"

"Mrs. Zhizhou is sitting there!" Gu Ning pointed in the direction of the private room, "Where did you come from, cat and dog? How dare you pretend to be Mrs. Zhizhou?"

Behind the screen, Mrs. Zeng came out with an ugly expression on her face.
