Jiang Mingyue understood after listening to her husband's explanation.

"How much money did Zhang Zhongyue get from Dad and the others?" she asked curiously.

Xie Yuan stretched out his hand and drew a number.

"Four million taels?" Jiang Mingyue asked uncertainly.

Xie Yuan said 'hmm': "Not only money, his men also robbed several ships of goods one after another, and extorted several ships of food."

Jiang Mingyue couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.

"He is so courageous. Does Zhang Zhongyue really think that Yuanjiang Mansion is his Yuanjiang Mansion?"

"I don't know if he thinks so, but his men must think so."

Zhang Zhongyue is an old minister and can sit in the position of a general. He is definitely not a fool, so these things were definitely not done under his instructions. He may even have been kept in the dark. Xie Yuan didn't know how his father-in-law did it, but his father-in-law did it. This hand is very beautiful.

"Uncle Shang and Uncle Yang are like my father. Although they are wealthy businessmen, they don't have much money in their books that can be withdrawn at any time. Four million taels is enough to break the bones of several families." Jiang Mingyue said.

"That's why they feel pain and risk their lives to write to the court."

What Xie Yuan didn't say was that he and his father-in-law set up a series of schemes. In addition to forcing Shang and Yang's in-laws to submit letters, Yuanjiang Mansion paid 30% less summer taxes this year than in previous years. The reason was that drought crops were affected. This is the case. Yuanjiang Mansion will not pay 30% less tax, which will not attract anyone's attention.

But once the four million taels are exposed, the Hubu and the Holy Emperor will know that the Yuanjiang Mansion is not without money, but that all the money has flowed into Zhang Zhongyue's pocket. He doesn't know what will happen to the Hubu, but the Holy Emperor will definitely be furious. .

Zhang Zhongyue asked for four million taels from several hands, so how much did he ask from the court? Jiang Mingyue looked at her husband and asked.

"Fifty million catties of grain, three million taels of silver."

"Doesn't that mean that the money he looted from Yuanjiang Mansion was enough to support the army for a year?" Jiang Mingyue said.

Xie Yuan nodded.

Jiang Mingyue picked up her husband's tea and took a sip. She needed to calm down her shock. It was foreseeable that the court hall would be extremely lively tomorrow.

Xie Yuan looked at his wife's red lips that had become extremely moist due to drinking tea, and couldn't help but reach out and touch them gently.

"There isn't much going on here in Kyoto for now. How about we go back to Wanping tomorrow afternoon? I have a month's home leave, and we can stay in Wanping for a month."

Jiang Mingyue became happy instantly after hearing this. She nodded seriously and said, "Okay! I've wanted to go back for a long time!"

She stood up and said, "I'm going to tell Apple and the others to pack their things, and we'll take away everything that needs to be taken away."

"It doesn't matter if you can't take it with you. I will keep Chen Rong to look after the house."

"to make!"

Seeing that his wife was busy with business, Xie Yuan went to the study, opened the drawer, took out the wood and continued carving the rabbit.

After a while, after Jiang Mingyue arranged everything, she lay on the window sill, looked at her husband who was carving a rabbit seriously, and asked: "You didn't carve one before, why are you still carving it?"

This year is the Year of the Rabbit. When her husband carved the rabbit, Jiang Mingyue didn't understand it for a while. Later, she realized belatedly that he should have carved it for their child.

Xie Yuan's hand movements paused.

"That's a female rabbit."

"Oh! My husband is thoughtful." After all, they didn't know whether they were having a boy or a girl.

Xie Yuan put down the rabbit, looked at his wife and said warmly: "Come!"

Jiang Mingyue entered the study obediently.

Xie Yuan put his arms around his wife and rested his chin on her shoulder to continue carving.

Jiang Mingyue watched the wood gradually turn into the shape of a rabbit in Xie Yuan's hands, and said softly: "Ms. sir, can I stop taking the medicine for two days?"

Hearing this, Xie Yuan put down the wood in his hand and looked at the person in his arms.

"The medicine lately is a bit bitter, isn't it?"

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

"I don't like drinking, and our children don't like it either!"

Xie Yuan reached out and held his wife's feet.

"The swelling in my feet has gone down a lot."

Then he gently squeezed her calf.

"The same goes for calves."

Xie Yuan paused and stared at his wife carefully.

"You look much better than before. I remember you only got up three times last night, but you usually get up five times."

Jiang Mingyue could not help but pout when she heard this. The man did not reject her, but he told her the changes in her body after drinking the medicine in a way that presented the facts.

Xie Yuan kissed his wife's red lips reassuringly.

"If you don't want to drink it, just stop taking it for three days. After all, it's three parts medicine and poison."

Jiang Mingyue's eyes lit up instantly, and she took the initiative to kiss the man.

"Thank you sir!"

Xie Yuan directly hugged his wife.

"It's time for you to rest."

Jiang Mingyue said 'oh', put her hands around the man's neck and said, "Will you accompany me?"

"it is good!"

Xie Yuan carried his wife to the bed, carefully put her down, and then lay down next to her.

Jiang Mingyue waited for Xie Yuan to cover the two of them with quilts, turned sideways and found a comfortable seat in his arms, closed her eyes and said, "When we return to Wanping tomorrow, should we tell our sister?"

Xie Yuan thought for a while and still refused.

"There are too many people staring at us now. It's not suitable for us to see my sister recently."

"It's true!"

Xie Yuan is the number one scholar in a new subject, and now is the time when the popularity is at its highest. The eldest prince and the second prince have been wooing Xie Yuan recently. They cannot get involved with Song Ren, who is pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. It will be very detrimental to them. , will also cause some trouble for Song Ren.

Xie Yuan gently patted his wife's vest and said warmly: "Recently, you asked Apple to pay more attention to Su Niang."

Jiang Mingyue yawned and asked, "Why? But what happened?"

"Su Niang's husband Tie Xing'an entered the palace yesterday with his family."

Jiang Mingyue, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up. She looked at her husband with beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Does Su Niang know about this?"

"You probably don't know yet. We are going back to Wanping soon. I don't want to delay our schedule because of her matter."

Jiang Mingyue said "Hmm" and asked, "This family is small?"

"Tie Xing'an's step-wife, and the two sons he had with his step-wife."

"That means Tie Xing'an and Su Niang have no children?"

Xie Yuan made a sound of 'hmm' and said lightly: "With Su Niang's physical condition, she can't give birth to a child."

Jiang Mingyue nodded and couldn't help but ask: "What's going on with Tie Xing'an and Su Niang?"

"Tie Xing'an was Su Niang's chosen husband. In order to marry him, she even broke off the mother-daughter relationship with the eldest princess.

As for what happened to her after marrying Tie Xing'an, I don't know, but looking at her now, she has suffered the consequences. "

When Jiang Mingyue heard this, she immediately went through 300 rounds of love and hatred in her mind. It was probably a story of you love me, I don't love you, and you really make a mistake. Otherwise, Su Niang would have taken revenge.
