The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

Everything that happened in Xiangrongzhai was explained to Jiang Heng verbatim by Baili.

Of course, this was Meng Xian's tacit consent to eavesdropping in the dark.

Jiang Heng snorted coldly, "Sure enough, both skills are outstanding!"

Baili didn't understand, "What did the young master say?"

"This Miss Meng San is very capable."

Baili nodded, seeming to agree with Jiang Heng's statement, "The third girl is certainly not an ordinary fan."

"but……"

With a bang, before Baili could finish what he said, the study door was pushed open.

Yin Jiazhi arrived before he could say anything, "Yanqing, what's going on? I heard that the third girl has found Mrs. Bu Yan?"

"Your news is pretty quick."

"No...since she has such a connection, why did she come to you in the first place?" Yin Jiazhi was really puzzled.

Jiang Heng: "..."

He also wanted to know.

Chen Yan followed closely behind him. He could clearly hear what Jiang Heng and Yin Jiazhi said.

"Actually, I have always thought that the third girl is a bit strange."

Jiang Heng raised his eyes, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes.

He crossed his arms and leaned back, signaling for him to continue.

Chen Yan: "If she really wanted to find someone to rescue that Cui Yusheng, why would she come to you instead of bribing those high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Justice?"

"The Marquis of Wu'an has great military achievements, but he has never been involved in prison, and he has never made friends with others. You are also famous for not being nosy."

"Yanqing didn't intend to take care of it at first. He couldn't stand it and threw money at the three girls!" Yin Jiazhi said without thinking.

"Who would have trouble with money? What's more..." Having said this, he looked at Jiang Heng with a teasing smile, "It's Mr. Jiang Xiaohou who has become very poor in recent years."

Jiang Heng: "..."

My heart was still, and I even wanted to laugh a little.

Chen Yan was helpless about Yin Jiazhi's mind, "Yeah, no one would have trouble with money. But these three girls are a little too generous."

"One million taels of gold, and it also comes with grain and mutton. How can there be such a good thing in the world? Indeed, the Meng family is not short of money, but there is no reason to use the money to spread it."

Yin Jiazhi touched his chin, and gradually figured out that something was wrong, and said in surprise: "Are you saying this is a conspiracy or a trap?"

Chen Yan waved his hand, "That's not what I meant. Looking at it now, the third girl should not have any ulterior motives for us. On the contrary..."

After a pause, Chen Yan chuckled and sighed: "On the contrary, he is really a rich man who comes to give money to his door."

Yin Jiazhi was serious for only a moment, and glanced at Jiang Heng with a narrow smile, "Maybe he has fallen in love with Jiang Yanqing and intends to spend a lot of money to buy a husband back."

As soon as Yin Jiazhi said these words,

Meng Lian's stunningly beautiful face appeared in the minds of the three of them at the same time. It was hard for a man not to be moved by such stunning beauty.

Even as cold as Jiang Heng, he once had a startled glance and looked at him sideways.

He was a little carried away by money before, but now that he thinks about it carefully, Jiang Heng can't help but feel that Chen Yan's words are reasonable.

He didn't have a reputation for being kind-hearted, and he had nothing to do with prison. Even if Meng wanted to throw money at him, there were plenty of people there, so why throw money at him?

Could it be...

Does he really look like the poorest?

*

Since that day, Jiang Heng never saw Meng Xian again.

Chen Yan sighed sadly, "If I solve Cui Yusheng's matter by myself, the one million taels of gold will probably be discounted in half."

"Half discount? Why are you thinking about good things? We haven't helped them with anything, so why should we ask for money?" In this regard, Yin Jiazhi is very clear-headed.

"But we also tried our best to think of some ways."

It’s not necessarily true, is it?

Yin Jiazhi suddenly let out a long sigh, "Do you think we will be done with Miss Meng after this?"

"You still want to stay together? Are you attracted to her?" Chen Yan teased.

Yin Jiazhi shrugged, with a confident look on his face, "My fair lady, a gentleman likes to be aggressive. This has been the case since ancient times."

Chen Yan smiled.

Miss Meng is indeed beautiful and capable.

pity……

She is the daughter of a merchant.

For the children of aristocratic families, such a woman could be a concubine, but a wife would be a bit disgraceful.

"Miss Meng is good at everything except her family background..."

Before Chen Yan could finish his words, Yin Jiazhi pushed back with a look of disdain, "The eldest family of the Meng family took root in Beijing, and Meng Zhou even became the Tai Tu; people with second and third houses have no intention of pursuing an official career, otherwise they would just rely on them to do business. His ability makes him like a fish in water in the officialdom."

Chen Yan is the grandson of Chen Jingyuan, a great contemporary scholar. Although he became a military general, he still had the aloofness of a scholar in his heart.

Although Jiang Heng was speechless, he agreed with what Yin Jiazhi said in his heart.

There is no way that the second- and third-bedroom people can't be officials. They don't look down on being officials at all.

They don't even care who becomes the emperor, as it doesn't affect or delay them from making money anyway.

To be able to keep the family together in troubled times, and to do good to the people in prosperous times;

How could he be an ordinary wealthy businessman with such a big heart?

Bu Yan got off duty, got on the carriage back home, and rested his head.

These past few days, I have been troubled by the Cui Yusheng incident.

What Shen Guogong meant was to find a reason and cook things simply;

Bu Yan was troubled. After all, it was a human life. Just because he hit Shen Yu twice and killed him, he felt guilty.

It is one thing to surrender to Shen Yongyuan, but it is another thing to order a life to be executed by oneself.

Bu Yan was born as a Jinshi, and he also read books from sages and acted as a gentleman;

In the end, I still have some kind thoughts in my heart.

The carriage stopped steadily at the main entrance of Bu's mansion. Bu Yan lifted the curtain and got out of the car. His wife stood in front of the door with a smile on her face.

His legs immediately went weak.

He quickly recalled what he had done recently in his mind.

It's probably...no problem...

……Bar.

He put on a smile and walked forward, "Madam."

Mrs. Bu eagerly handed over a Tang Pozi, "It's getting colder, so don't pay attention."

Bu Yan became more and more uneasy, "It doesn't matter, my husband is a man, so there is nothing I can do about the air-conditioning. Madam, why did you go out to greet me today? This really flatters my husband."

The maids and servants behind him pursed their lips and snickered secretly when they heard this.

I'm afraid I was shocked.

Mrs. Bu didn't answer, but hugged Bu Yan affectionately and entered.

Afterwards, he personally helped to change clothes and serve tea, which frightened Bu Yan to the point of feeling high in his heart.

After finishing the dinner with great trepidation, Bu Yan returned to the bedroom. Finally, Bu Yan couldn't bear it any longer. He said in a good voice: "Madam, it's just you and me now. If Madam has anything to say, just tell her husband."

After a whole afternoon of trying to please, Mrs. Bu was naturally not polite at this moment and explained her intention straight to the point.

Bu Yan found it unbelievable after hearing this, "Madam, why would you do such a thing for no reason? Do you know who Cui Yusheng offended?"

"Hmph! Of course I know. Isn't it Shen Yongyuan's family? Are you afraid of being like this?" Mrs. Bu was angry.

Bu Yan couldn't help but feel guilty and helpless, "Madam."

"Officials, you have been in the officialdom for many years, and it is impossible for you not to know who the Shen family is. Shen Yongyuan deceives his superiors and conceals his subordinates, and Shen Yu does all kinds of evil by robbing civilian girls. Mrs. Shen is even more of a snake-hearted person."

"You are doing your best to be your Dali Temple minister. Why do you want to associate with such a person? Do you think our family is living too well?"

Bu Yan had an angry look on his face, "What are you talking about? I'm not here to get promoted in the future. Besides, there are many parties in the court. If I don't cling to power, how can I have a foothold?"

"Official, how long do you think this court can last?"

Bu Yan's heart trembled, and he lowered his voice and scolded: "What are you talking nonsense about? Do you want to die?"

Mrs. Bu simply did not beat around the bush, "My lord, here you and I, there are no outsiders, and we are not afraid of outsiders hearing what we say. I just want to ask you, do you think this court is still alive? Can it create another one?" A peaceful and prosperous age?"

Bu Yan sighed deeply and slowly closed his eyes.

How can there be any prosperity?

He is just dying and dying.

Mrs. Bu added: "If that day comes, do the officials think that the Shen family can succeed? If not, have you ever thought about what will happen to our family?"

"Officials don't have to take any chances. Since ancient times, those who have won a kingdom are all teachers of benevolence and righteousness. Unless the Shen family's snakes and rats are wiped out in the world, it will never be possible for this king to be named Shen."

Mrs. Bu's words were like a hammer, hitting Bu Yan's heart hard.

If a woman can understand something, how can he not understand it?

Can……

Seeing that his face softened, Mrs. Bu continued: "In the case of Young Master Cui this time, people are obviously a hero who acts righteously when there is an injustice in the road, but as for the Shen family, they do not distinguish between black and white and rely on power to kill people."

"That's all. But you were the one who decided the case, and you were the one who made the final sentence. If someone with a conscience reports it one day, are you sure that Shen Yongyuan will not abandon his soldiers to save his car? He will not turn out on the spot and say that he has no knowledge at all. Is it your fault alone?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Yan's face turned ashen.

Of course he knew that was impossible.

If that day comes, he knows better than anyone else that he will undoubtedly be a castaway.

When Mrs. Bu saw this, she knew there was something going on. I grabbed my handkerchief and began to wipe my tears.

"Officer, in today's world, I really don't want any great power or wealth. As long as our family is together and safe, that's enough."

Isn't it that I am groveling outside to do what others want, just so that I can go to another building and let my family be a good person?

Now Mrs. Bu's words really hit Bu Yan's heart.

The dignified seven-foot-tall man couldn't help but get wet in his eyes, "Then... what does Madam want from me?"

Hearing this, Mrs. Bu's eyes lit up.

"There are so many inmates on death row who are really guilty of heinous crimes. Any one of them can replace Cui Yusheng."

Bu Yan thought she was talking nonsense, "Shen Yongyuan is not stupid or blind, how can he not see it?"

"Then...then don't let him see it. He should still have trust in you for this little thing."

Bu Yan was startled, "Madam, are you saying that you can steal the sky and change the day?"

"That's right, you can find any excuse...for example, during the torture, the attack was too heavy, and the temperature dropped sharply in early winter. The person couldn't hold on, and he lost his breath. In order to eradicate the weeds, you were ordered to drag him to the mass grave to prepare food. ”

This method has not been used before, and Bu Yan must be very good at it.

But this time he had to deal with the old fox Shen Yongyuan, and Bu Yan couldn't help but feel uneasy.

"Is this...is this okay?"

After using the soft one, Mrs. Bu also started to use the hard one with a straight face.

"I don't care. I have already promised to Xiang Rongzhai's employer. If you can't do it and I lose face and things, I will make peace with you!"

"Anyway, if you follow Shen Yongyuan, our family has little hope. If something happens to the Shen family one day and it harms us, forget about other things. How can I live if my children are affected. Simply make up, I will take the children back to my parents' home in Hedong, and you can Just watch your Duke Shen go there alone."

When Bu Yan saw that she was really angry, he was a little at a loss; when he heard that he was leaving, he was even more confused.

"Where do you start talking about this, madam? It's really not like saying divorce for such a trivial matter."

Mrs. Bu cast a cold sideways glance, "So, are you going to continue to help the villain? Do you really want to be Shen Yongyuan's murderous weapon?"

The room suddenly fell into dead silence.

Thinking silently for a moment,

Bu Yan spoke slowly, "How easy is it to steal the sky and change the day? Besides, this Cui Yusheng is not a nobody. Is it possible that he can change his name in the future and never set foot in the capital again?"

Mrs. Bu was startled.

She really hadn't thought about this.

However, if your life is saved, it is not difficult to change your name and live a low-key life.

"Look at what you said, is he a fool? If I can save my life this time, I will definitely remember the lesson in the future. Who would be willing to come to this sad place again?"

Bu Yan's lips moved, wanting to say something, but in the end he couldn't.

Mrs. Bu was impatient. Seeing that he never gave an accurate answer, she lost her temper completely. "I have been talking for a long time, but you can give an accurate answer?"

The wind was blowing constantly beside the pillow, and Bu Yan really didn't want to kill anyone because of something as trivial as sesame, so he promised Mrs. Bu to try her best.

Mrs. Bu finally smiled after her mission was completed, and she repaid her kindness that night.
