The second man is dedicated to his career

Yuan Pei looked at Yuan Wuji, and wondered how the eldest son had grown up to be rebellious to such an extent?

But I have to say, Yuan Wuji really grasped Yuan Pei's weakness.

Although the current Holy Majesty seems to be gentle and rarely expresses his opinions even in the early court, every time the Holy Majesty makes a move, a group of officials will be unlucky.

Yuan Pei was really afraid that the next unlucky person would be his turn.

Being an official now is really not as easy as it was in the time of the first emperor.

Yuan Pei thought and thought, and finally said: "Okay, you have grown up too, my father will go and talk to your Aunt Zhang, and ask her to tidy up and return the things your mother left to you."

"Then father must ask Aunt Zhang to count carefully. Those gold and silver jewelry are all my mother's relics. My son doesn't want to see other people wearing my mother's things!"

Yuan Wuji wanted to return Princess Lin's relic, Yuan Pei naturally couldn't do as Yuan Wuji wanted, it was all money.He responded with all his mouth, but he just perfunctory Yuan Wuji first, and then went to Zhang to discuss it.

Yuan Pei felt that it was still necessary to let Yuan Wuji get married first. The reason why his son refused to obey the discipline was because he was not married. When he got married, he would know the importance of the Yuan family to him.

The more Yuan Pei thought about it, the more he reasoned. He asked Mrs. Zhang which girl in Beijing was suitable for his son and could bring the greatest benefits to their Yuan family.

Watching Yuan Pei start to enthusiastically discuss Qi Yuan Wuji's marriage, Zhang felt a sense of crisis.

Now she could feel that Yuan Pei's heart was beginning to drift. If Yuan Wuji really married a strong wife who could help him, would there still be places for the three of them in the Yuan family?

At this time, Mrs. Zhang finally thought of her daughter.Although Zhang's favorite is still her son, and only her son is her biggest reliance, but when she agrees to the outside world, she still has to call her daughter back.

And... that dead old woman.

She was not the only one who contributed to the death of Princess Lin, but the old woman also contributed a lot.

Now that Yuan Wuji has returned, if he really gained power and controlled the Yuan family, it is impossible for him not to pursue what happened back then.Mrs. Zhang couldn't be more clear about these things.

Yuan Pei was still talking about which girl was suitable, but Mrs. Zhang just echoed absent-mindedly, and her thoughts had already gone somewhere.

Yuan Wuji felt a little tired, went back to his residence and prepared to go to bed after drinking the medicine.

He has only lived in this place for two days, and it is already full of the smell of medicine.Yuan Wuji thought about it, and suddenly felt something was wrong...

It's only two nights in total, the smell of medicine...is it too strong?

It's like, to cover up other smells.

Yuan Wuji sniffed it carefully with his nose, and really smelled something strange, it seemed to be... the smell of sulfur.

Because the smell of medicine in the room is so strong that it is easy for people to ignore this smell.

Sulfur...do you want to use sulfur to attract snakes?

Yuan Wuji didn't make a big fuss, he asked the killers to come out and searched the small courtyard inside and out.

It didn't take long to find sulfur from under his bed, and a poisonous snake not far away in a not-so-tight cage.

"Ah! This, who is this vicious!"

Mao Mao watched the poisonous snake spit out the letter, and was so frightened that he fell to the ground.

Compared to Mao Mao's fear, Yuan Wuji seemed extremely calm, even calmer than the killers.

Several killers of the Shaxue League looked at him in surprise, thinking to themselves, this must be a ruthless character, if it wasn't for his poor health, he really wanted to drag him into the group as a killer.

Alas, it's a pity not to be a killer.

"Do you know who put it in?"

"I don't know, we have always followed you, Mr. Yuan."

A killer replied.

They received Yuan Wuji's money, so they all followed Yuan Wuji's side to protect them.

These killers are good at killing people, but they really don't have much experience in protecting people, let alone staying here to protect a room, it doesn't exist, it's unexpected!

The killers don't know, and Yuan Wuji has nothing to be disappointed about, he can probably guess who it is.

Yuan Pei still had such unrealistic thoughts about him, thinking that he would care about the relationship between father and son, at least he didn't want to kill him yet.

The old lady Yuan and Mrs. Zhang are probably about the same age. They are both very old, so it is unlikely that he can't help but do it once he comes back.And maybe they, like Yuan Pei, thought about what else they could gain from him, so they couldn't wait so impatiently.

Those servants probably didn't have the guts to do so, at least they didn't dare to do so without their master's order.

Then it becomes obvious who is doing it.

Yuan Xiyuan... his good brother.

Yuan Xiyuan has long been spoiled by the Yuan family. He has done a lot of evil things but has never been punished. Now Yuan Wuji, the big brother who appeared suddenly, caused him to have three fingers broken as soon as he came back. , Another humiliation meal in the morning, Yuan Xiyuan wanted revenge, wanted Yuan Wutrace to disappear, that was perfectly normal.

Yuan Wuji has no opinion on Yuan Xiyuan's approach, but since he wants to kill him, he should do it even more without leaving any traces. Now that he has discovered him, he must be ready to be killed get ready.

Yuan Wuji didn't say anything, but asked the killer to go to Yuan Xiyuan's side and arrange it as it was.

The sulfur and poisonous snakes were all returned to Yuan Xiyuan.

As for what will happen to Yuan Xiyuan in the end, it depends on whether the poisonous snake he finds is strong enough.

Upon hearing Yuan Wuji's order, the killers finally lifted their spirits.

For killers like them who are used to killing people, protecting people is really quite boring. If Yuan Wuji pays less, they will leave immediately...

Now that they received such a task, they really wanted to kill Yuan Xiyuan instead of the snake.

Of course, the killers restrained their urges.

After Mao Mao cleaned up the whole house, Yuan Wuji was finally able to sleep.This time he slept well, and when he woke up the next day, both Fu Bo and Xiao Tan had returned.

After Yuan Wuji washed up and finished his breakfast, Forbe came over with a pile of thick ledgers.

"My lord, this is the account book of the princess's dowry."

Looking at the thick book, Yuan Wuji knew that Princess Lin had a lot of dowry back then, and Yuan only had a few shops in the south of the Yangtze River, which shows how much the Yuan family embezzled.

Yuan Wuji looked through it casually, and found that the few shops in the capital were under the management of Yuan's family...well, they were losing money every year.

It can only be said that... in terms of business, I have to look like a mother.

Uncle Fu pointed to another stack of ledgers and said, "These are the ledgers of various shops. I've sorted them out and written them in the top one if you need to make a decision. The shop is not a big problem, only the business of the bookstore is not good. In the past, the novels written by the young master sold very well, accounting for a large part of the profit of the bookstore. Recently, the young master has not released new scripts, and the income of the bookstore has been affected."

Yuan Wuji: "..."

Good guy!Yuan Wuji really didn't expect Yuanshen to write novels before, he thought about it, he seems to have a writing skill, this... can be used to increase proficiency.

Oh yes, he also has a money-making skill...

Then he has to take a good look at these books and try to make the business bigger.

Yuan Wuji has always been very interested in starting a career and improving skill points.

Thinking of this, he began to look through the ledger.

Fu Bo is really capable, maybe considering Yuan Wuji's poor health, he organized everything very well, and Yuan Wuji didn't seem to have any difficulty.

However, there are really many shops in Yuan Wuji's hands, and he won't be able to read them all in a short while. He took a rough look, wrote down some important things, then put down the account book, and looked at Xiao Tan.

Upon receiving Yuan Wuji's gaze, Xiao Tan immediately stepped forward to answer.

"Young master, I have obtained a lot of information from Qianji Pavilion. The Yuan mansion is indeed not clean. From the old lady to the young master from the Yuan family, they have more or less human lives in their hands, but many things are very old. There are very few information clues. Over there, I asked the young master if he wanted to investigate further."

Xiao Tan recounted all the information he got from Qianji Pavilion, the original family is really...

Yuan Xiyuan's evil is on the surface, but Yuan Xiyuan is only so old and can teach such a son, it is impossible for Yuan Pei and Zhang to be okay.

Even though Zhang blindly covered up, Yuan Pei was not all right, he just hid behind his back, and his hypocrisy was even more annoying.

"What about the idle king? Between him and the eldest princess..."

"On the surface, King Xian and the eldest princess don't seem to have much connection, but in fact, the two have a very close relationship, especially after the death of King Xian's biological mother, Concubine Shu..."

Yuan Wuji rubbed his knuckles while listening to Xiao Tan, and suddenly asked, "When did Concubine Shu die?"

"It's gone since the time of the first emperor. At that time, the princess hadn't married Mr. Yuan."

"Does Concubine Shu only have one son, Prince Xian?"

"Yes, Concubine Shu gave birth to three princesses before, and she won't be favored much when she gets older. It should be her last chance to conceive King Xian."

Yuan Wuji nodded, then this makes sense.

Yuan Wuji was about to ask some more questions, but a young servant came to report that it was the master who invited the eldest son to come over.

Yuan Wuji looked at the young man, and only said when he saw that the young man was uncomfortable, "Lead the way."

Yuan Wuji wanted to see what Yuan Pei wanted to do with him, but when he got close to the main courtyard where Yuan Pei and the others lived, Yuan Wuji heard a woman's mournful cry.

"Yuan'er! Yuan'er! You must be safe! If you go, your mother will die!"

This voice, at first glance, belonged to Mrs. Zhang.

Thin and harsh.

The expression on Yuan Wuji's face didn't change at all, Zhang's crying so much, at least Yuan Xiyuan is still alive.

Yuan Wuji didn't care about Yuan Xiyuan's life or death, even if he survived now, it might not be much better when his crimes come out.

However, Yuan Wuji's indifferent appearance immediately irritated Zhang Shi.

She cried and rushed over to catch Yuan Wuji. At this moment, her hair was disheveled, her eyes were bloodshot, and she looked like a crazy woman.

"It's you! It's all you bastard! As soon as you come back, I have accidents again and again! You must have killed him!"

It has to be said that Zhang's deduction has no basis, but the result is not much worse.

When Zhang rushed towards Yuan Wuji, her sharp nails aimed at Yuan Wuji.

Mrs. Zhang is now full of anger, and she needs to vent her anger.

Yuan Wuji measured his body slightly, hid behind Yuan Pei, and then... Zhang's nails caught Yuan Pei's face.

Mrs. Zhang was trying to scratch Yuan Wuji's face with all her strength, but now she scratched Yuan Pei's old face, and blood oozed out immediately.

"Have you had enough trouble?"

Yuan Pei pushed Zhang away, his eyes full of boredom.

The reason why he was willing to marry Zhang to fill in the house at the beginning was that apart from being a cousin from his mother's natal family, it was because Zhang was gentle and caring, and he was full of eyes and worshiped him, which was completely different from the independent Princess Lin .Yuan Pei's man's vanity was greatly satisfied by Zhang Shi, and this was what he liked most about Zhang Shi.

But let's see what Zhang looks like now?

Just like a shrew!

The disgust in Yuan Pei's eyes was no longer concealed.

"My son hasn't died yet, why are you crying?"

After being yelled at by Yuan Pei, Zhang regained her sanity a little bit. She looked at Yuan Pei aggrievedly, with a tear in her voice: "But the doctor said, Yuan'er... the snake venom has spread all over his body, and I'm afraid it will be difficult for him to even stand up in the future." .”
