"Today is the third day of my marriage to Wen Yidi. According to the custom of this dynasty, today is the day for the woman to return home. I didn't want to break this rule, so I took Wen Yidi back to the Wen family for a visit."

"Since it is the Wen family who is returning home, don't tell me that I am the Wen family's daughter-in-law. My marriage to Wen Yidi was decided by the emperor's decree. A woman will marry a man!"

"As far as I know, after the daughter of the Wen family got married, she strictly followed the old saying. There is absolutely no reason to take back the water that a married daughter throws out."

"In this case, I hope you can also treat Wen Yidi as the water that is poured out of the basin, and don't try to get close to me through our marriage."

"It just so happens that I would like to take this opportunity to explain clearly the purpose of my visit today. Mrs. Wen, please invite Mr. Wen over, so as to save you some misunderstandings caused by his absence while I talk."

Xu Shihuan's tone of voice did not suggest that Mrs. Wen was her mother-in-law. The elders of the Wen family could no longer keep their composure and wanted to convince Xu Shihuan by relying on the large number of people. It's a pity that Xu Shihuan didn't give them this opportunity.

"Come here! Keep an eye on these old guys from the Wen family! I suspect they want to murder me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all the servants who were responsible for carrying things rushed in when he entered. From the speed at which they entered, it could be seen that these people were not ordinary servants, but well-trained guards.

"As expected, with this knife on your neck, it's much easier to talk. Just in time, before Mr. Wen comes over, I'll go over the old scores with you first!"

After saying that, Xu Shihuan stretched out his hand and took the envelope handed by the guard. She opened the envelope slowly, took out the letter paper inside, and started reading:

"Wen Ningyu, seventy-two years old, was born in a merchant family. She has high vision but low hand. She has never married."

After thinking about this, she glanced at her wife, Wen Ningyu, and continued:

"Relying on the fact that you are the senior member of the Wen family, you have repeatedly asked for money from the imperial merchant Wen Yidi, up to one hundred thousand taels. Even so, you are still not satisfied and have the idea of ​​building a Wen family store."

"Your family is responsible for the business of Nanzhu. According to the rules, Wen Yidi will buy the largest and best Nanzhu at the price of ordinary Nanzhu and present it to the Queen Mother in the palace."

"But in order to make more money, you sold the largest Nanzhu to surrounding countries and handed the second-class Nanzhu into Wen Yidi's hands."

"The Queen Mother discovered that the quality of Nanzhu had declined, and summoned Wen Yidi to the palace to inquire about the specific situation. Wen Yidi believed your lie and told the Queen Mother that the quality of Nanzhu was generally poor that year, and the Wen family was really powerless."

"But not long after, the Queen Mother received a gift, and it turned out to be the Nanzhu that she received from you at a high price. The Queen Mother didn't know the specific situation behind this, so she could only vent her anger on the imperial merchant Wen Yidi and the Wen family. On the body."

"That year, Wen Yidi knelt outside Shoukang Palace for a whole day, and the Wen family's taxes increased from 60% to 70%."

Hearing this, the Wen family members were full of disbelief. They didn't know that Wen Ningyu was behind the 70% tax that they were complaining about.

Then I thought about Wen Ningyu asking them to come together this time, saying that she wanted to set some rules for the new wife of the Wen family. They originally thought it was strange why Wen Ningyu was so concerned about Wen Yidi's affairs, but now everything was answered.

She was afraid that she wanted to use Xu Shihuan's relationship to sell Nanzhu to Suwu Country at a high price. In addition, among the younger generation of her family, there happens to be a boy of the right age and a clever person.

If Wen Yidi no longer holds the position of Royal Merchant, it is very likely that the Wen family will let her son take over. This imperial merchant is not only a hard worker, but also responsible to the court and the Wen family.

If a member of her family becomes an imperial merchant and tries to make more money through such crooked ways, he will be the one who gets cheated. Therefore, she must stabilize Wen Yidi and let him continue to carry the burden of Huang Shang.

In fact, in the hands of Xu Shihuan, there were also other unethical things done by the other elders of the Wen family. But the first shot was the first, so she chose to use Wen Ningyu to perform the surgery alone today.

Seeing that the relationship between the Wen family was not as harmonious as it was at the beginning, Xu Shihuan's mood became a little better. At this time, Mr. Wen also rushed over, and she decided to talk about business.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, I will just say a few words. Today is the day Wen Yidi returns home. It is the first and last time I accompany him to the Wen family."

"Since Wen Yidi has married into the Xu family, he is a member of my Xu family. From now on, unless there is some major event that the sky is falling, you Wen family should not come to trouble him every now and then."

"The Wen family may not know yet, but Wen Yidi and I moved out of the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday and live alone in the Guan family's old residence, which is now the Xu Mansion."

"If the two elders of the Wen family are willing, I will call you father-in-law and mother-in-law. If you are not willing, I will call you Mr. Wen and Mrs. Wen. However, I am not the daughter-in-law of the Wen family. Don't let me hear it again in the future. Such ridiculous words."

"As long as the imperial merchant is concerned, you don't need to worry. In the next few years, Wen Yidi will continue to fulfill his position as an imperial merchant. However, you Wen family should also make plans early. After all, Wen Yidi is already my Xu family. It’s not appropriate for him to remain an imperial merchant.”

"How about it, do you have any objections? If not, the two of us will stop disturbing you."

Everyone looked at the swords against their necks. How could they dare to say no, so they could only nod their heads honestly. Seeing this, Xu Shihuan was relieved and took Wen Yidi's hand and walked out.

When she walked to the door, she saw Wen Yian already standing guard here with a look of flattery on his face, so she asked:

"Hey! Isn't this Lord Shi Wen, the city guard? If you don't go and guard the Dongjing Gate, what are you doing here?"

Wen Yi'an didn't care about the ridicule in Xu Shihuan's tone, and he also knew that his official position was not genuine. Right now, he has more important things to say to Xu Shihuan:

"Sister-in-law...it's not right, brother-in-law...it's not right either, brother-in-law..."

"Okay, okay, just call me by my name. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

"Master Xu, it's enough for you to bring my brother back this time. There is no need to come again in the future."

"Oh? You don't have anything to say about this. If something happens to your father or your mother, if your brother doesn't come back, you won't have to be stabbed in the back with words."

Hearing this, Wen Yian sighed and said leisurely:

"Don't worry, nothing will happen to them."

Halfway through, his expression changed, as if he was wondering whether he should say the next thing. Finally, he made up his mind and continued:

"If something happens, it will be a big deal for our whole family. When the time comes, you will protect my brother. If it is convenient, try to give me a good time."

Xu Shihuan's eyes darkened. Wen Yi'an would say this because he obviously knew something and knew that something would happen to the Wen family sooner or later. She looked at Wen Yidi beside her and saw that he shook his head at her, and she immediately made up her mind.

"If it's convenient, I'll definitely give you a treat!"
