Yin Lifeng returned to the room, picked up the jade pendant in his hand, and smashed it to the ground.
Xiao Zhong lowered his head and did not dare to say anything.
"The fact that my son is able to fall in love with her is a blessing that she has cultivated for eight lifetimes. A lunatic who can recover from illness, so what if she is the legitimate daughter, she will not be able to marry into a high family. She is not making a fool of herself for the people in that house."
Yin Lifeng cursed a few times, but You Zi was unwilling to accept it. He smashed two tea cups in anger before finally letting out a sigh of relief.
"Your Majesty, please calm down and don't be like her."
"Get away!"
Yin Lifeng pushed Xiaozhong out and said, "I want to marry her back. You can find a way for me."
Xiao Zhong fell to his knees with a plop, "Master Shizi, you might as well kill me with a knife."
"Useless things."
Yin Lifeng said bitterly: "I can't handle even a small thing well."
Xiaozhong didn't dare to reply and just lowered his head.
Yin Lifeng felt bored, "How is her face?"
Xiao Zhong said hurriedly: "My dear son, he is so swollen that he can't even see."
When Yin Lifeng heard this, he resented, "I was too harsh."
Xiao Zhong gritted his teeth and babbled: "No wonder the prince, Miss Qianjin's skin is so tender that she doesn't need to be beaten."
Before he could finish his words, he was kicked hard on the butt.
"What nonsense are you talking about? Why don't you send me some good medicine?"
"Your Majesty, it's getting late today. I'll go to the Gu Mansion tomorrow."
Yin Lifeng looked at him hatefully and rushed out. His anger was so strong that he had to vent it.
In a secluded courtyard in the northwest corner of the Su family, flowers fell all over the ground.
Su Ziyu stood in front of the court wearing an old shirt, staring at the dense bamboo shadows outside the high wall without moving for a long time.
There was dead silence.
"Commander Su."
A shadow fell from the sky, it was Yang Rui.
When Su Ziyu saw the person coming, she patted his shoulder, squeezed out a smile and said, "Come on, have a drink with me."
The food and wine had already been prepared, and they sat on each side.
Yang Rui looked at Su Ziyu's expression and said, "What's bothering you?"
Su Ziyu was silent, raised his hand to pour two glasses of wine, picked up one of the glasses, and said, "We are brothers, let's drink first."
Yang Rui and Su Ziyu have been friends for more than a year or two.
When Su Ziyu first entered the Shenji Camp, he was in the same camp as Yang Rui. After so many years, the situation remained unchanged. Yang Rui followed Su Ziyu wholeheartedly and was loyal to him.
After a few glasses of wine, Su Ziyu said, "There is someone, please check it for me."
"Okay." Yang Rui agreed without asking who it was.
"Gu Qingwan, the sixth daughter of the Gu family, please check her past for me."
A woman? Yang Rui frowned.
"Her biological mother's surname is Qian, and Qian Ziqi is her cousin."
The understatement sounded like thunder in Yang Rui's ears. He looked at the man opposite him in surprise, and after a long silence, he called out, "Ziyu."
Su Ziyu smiled lightly, picked up the glass and drank it down, then met his with deep eyes.
He has been friends with Yang Rui for many years. In front of others, he always calls himself Commander Su. Only when something important happens, he will change his name to "Zi Yu."
"I just wanted to... check."
His eyes moved away and fell on the bamboo shadows on the outer wall, making the whole person feel a deep sense of vicissitudes and sadness.
Yang Rui was shocked.
After a good night's sleep, the redness and swelling on her face had disappeared a lot. Qingguan said that she was not sick and was just waiting to see how the elders of the Gu family would handle the matter.
I never thought that Mr. Gu and Mr. Gu would not say a word about this matter and acted as if it had not happened. For some reason, the princess also felt the tightness in her chest and stayed behind closed doors.
On the contrary, Mrs. Wei, Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Guan each sent people to bring good anti-swelling medicine and told Qingguan to rest in peace and recuperate.
As soon as these three groups of people left, Yueniang came in with a blue face and said angrily: "Miss, that goddamn man actually had the nerve to bring ointment to the lady."
Qingguan said calmly: "Throw it out."
"My slave has thrown it away a long time ago."
Yueniang spat angrily outside, closed the door, and stood in front of Qingguan, looking like she was hesitant to speak.
"Yue Niang, if you have anything to say, just ask." Qingguan couldn't stand her look like this.
"Miss, does Prince Yin really want the young lady to be his concubine?"
Qingguan nodded and said: "Exactly."
"The lady refused, so he beat her?"
"Yue Niang, what exactly do you want to ask?"
Yueniang pondered for a long time and said: "Yueniang is afraid that the young lady will do dangerous things without telling Yueniang."
She was lying in bed last night, thinking about it, and she always felt something was wrong. How could someone as smart as the young lady be slapped by someone else? There must be some reason. She was not afraid of anything else but that the young lady would take risks for revenge.
Qingguan looked at her intently, unable to explain what she felt in her heart. Although Yueniang was not smart, she knew her heart best.
She held Yueniang's slightly rough hand and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Yueniang. I want to be with you and Uncle Fu for a long time, so why would I do something dangerous?"
Yueniang's eyes were hot and she said: "It's best for Miss to think this way. This servant and Qian Fu don't focus on whether Miss can take revenge, but hope that Miss will have a smooth life and be at ease."
Qingguan was silent in thought.
"If Qian Fu saw Miss Qian Fu's face, she might be so sad?" Yueniang complained.
"Okay, I won't go back to the mansion anymore. If anyone comes to invite me in the future, there is no need to reply to me. Just scold them loudly."
As soon as Qingguan said this, Yueniang became angry.
"Miss, everyone in this house is dead. The young lady has suffered so much grievance. From top to bottom, she doesn't even have a damn thing. She is like a coward. As for the slave, there is no need to wait until the second young lady gets married. Just let this Gu Mansion be destroyed."
Qingguan was dumbfounded by what she said.
How could it be so easy to finish off Gu Mansion? A single missed hit would definitely arouse suspicion and make people wary. Either she didn't take action, or if she took action, it would make it impossible for the Gu family to stand up.
"My dearest son, Miss Sixth..."
Yin Lifeng stood up from the chair and said, "What's wrong with her? All her things have been collected."
Xiao Zhong carefully looked at his master's face and said, "I heard from people in the Gu family that Miss Six threw away all the ointment."
"Ah!" Yin Lifeng fell into the Grand Master's chair.
She must be angry. No young lady in our family can still smile after being slapped.
"Xiao Zhong, how can I make her happy?"
Xiao Zhong had a headache, scratched his head and ears for a long time, and said: "Master, Master and Madam..."
"Shut up, I am the only son in this house, and sooner or later they will agree. What I'm worried about now is how to coax her back."
Yin Lifeng rubbed his hands, his eyes a little anxious.
"What did you say?"
Zhao Jingyan grabbed A Li's chest, her eyes filled with coldness, "Say it to me again."
"Sir, Prince Yin wanted to take Miss Sixth as his concubine, but Miss Sixth refused and was slapped to the ground by him. His face was so swollen that he couldn't see anyone. Master, you must avenge Miss Sixth!"
A Li only regretted that he was not Chunni, so he couldn't just squeeze out a few tears.
Zhao Jingyan pushed the person hard, raised her foot, and kicked the huanghuali chair in front of her to pieces.
He had just swung back from the boat, before he could sit still and before he had a sip of tea, when he heard the news.
Yin Lifeng, you are so powerful that you dare to even think about the princess that I have chosen. If I don’t beat you until you are full of teeth, I will take your surname.
Zhao Jingyan raised her eyebrows and said sternly: "Go, let me know. Tell me that Yin Lifeng failed in his bid to marry Wu Yanling, and because of his grudge, he forced the Gu family's legitimate daughter to be his concubine."
"Master!"
A Li hesitated, "Is this... feasible?"
"What's not possible?"
Jiang Hongwen, who had been silent all the time, answered: "Yin Lifeng has come to the Gu Mansion again and again. Anyone with a brain will doubt what his intentions are. We don't even need to take action on this matter. His imperial concubine and aunt are the first to do it." I'll let it go."
"Yes, I'll make arrangements now, little one." A Li disappeared without a trace in an instant.
Zhao Jingyan had already regained her composure and said, "Let's go, we have to do business. A bunch of people are waiting."
Jiang Hongwen glanced at him approvingly, "You still know the importance."
"When I'm done with my business, I'll find some time to settle accounts with him." Zhao Jingyan's eyes were cold.
Late at night, candlelight was brightly lit in the study room of Prince Shou's Mansion.
The helmsmen of the six major families and the two most favored advisers of King Bingshou were sitting around, drinking tea and chatting.
When King Shou entered the door, everyone stood up and saluted.
Zhao Jingyan waved, indicating that everyone did not need to be polite and sat down separately.
The maid changed the hot tea again, Zhao Jingyan fiddled with the lid of the tea cup and said: "The winds from the southeast, northwest and southeast have blown. Everything is ready. Are you ready?"
Everyone looked at each other and said in unison: "Everything is fine."
Zhao Jingyan nodded and said: "I am busy with official duties and have countless eye spies watching over me, so I will leave the matter of the bank to Master Qi."
Jiang Hongwen straightened up, clasped his fists, and pretended to say: "The prince will do his best to express his love."
The people from the six major aristocratic families secretly thought that with Jiang Qiye's ability to eat, drink and have fun, he would never be able to dominate the country's banks. Is this deal... a wrong bet
Jiang Hongwen seemed to have noticed something, and said seriously: "Everyone, I am only on the surface. The prince has hired a high-ranking person behind his back. This person has a special status, so he acts in the dark."
The hearts of the six aristocratic families trembled slightly, and deep meaning flashed in their eyes. Who did King Shou invite
Zhao Jingyan took in everyone's expressions and said with a slight smile, "In order to let everyone know, the biggest boss of the bank is not me, King Shou, but the one in the palace. I... I'm just running errands for him."
As soon as these words came out, everyone understood it clearly.
The leader, a middle-aged man, cupped his fists and said: "We have followed the prince, and we should treat the prince's head as the saddle. When the bank will open and what we need to do, please give the prince direct orders."
"Please give me your Majesty's orders!" Everyone shouted.
"Okay, okay, okay!"
Zhao Jingyan said three good words in a row, "In this case, we will discuss it together..."
Just after the fourth watch, the door to the study room opened, and six men walked out, each taking advantage of the night to leave.
Zhao Jingyan was still sitting at the top and said, "A Li, bring some hot tea instead." The two men dressed as scholars at the bottom saw this and knew that King Shou had important matters to discuss, so they did not dare to be careless.
