Mrs. Deng is now in a dilemma. She cannot lose the support of the Ma family.

Without the Ma family, who would give her so much money to squander?

Magistrate Deng listened to the conversation between the father and daughter and curled the corners of his lips slightly.

He also agreed with Mr. Ma's proposal.

However, he also knew his sister-in-law and Hao'er. If these two people could stay indoors, the sun would rise from the west.

Later, he would have to find a few people with strong martial arts skills to follow the two of them, and when Dasao and Haoer were about to do something stupid, he could just knock them out.

Mr. Ma glanced at Madam Deng.

"This is not the place to talk. If you keep yelling, I don't mind not having a stupid daughter like you."

After saying that, Mr. Ma flicked his sleeves and followed Magistrate Deng out.

Mrs. Deng moved her lips twice in frustration, then followed the two men with a drooping face.

What did she do that everyone treated her like this?

If anyone is to be blamed, it should be Hao'er.

Thinking of Deng Hao, Mrs. Deng remembered that this incident was because of the prostitute in Zuijinlou.

After leaving the prefectural yamen, Madam Deng looked at the unconscious Deng Hao who was being dragged to his knees, turned on her toes, and headed straight for Zuijinlou...

.......

The people from various prominent families who had been gathering at the gate of the prefectural yamen for a long time to inquire about the news now all returned to their homes.

Just as Shen Yong was about to meet Old Madam Shen, he received visiting cards from dozens of families including the Wang family, the Li family, the Zhao family, etc.

"Your Majesty, this is a visiting card from the Xie Mansion."

Jin Ju presented a gold-embossed visiting card to Chen Yong, "Zuijinlou is owned by the Xie family."

"The Xie family's ancestors produced a king of a different surname. In Qianhuang City, the Xie family is the most aristocratic family, with great wealth and power."

No one can really tell how many people there are in the Xie Mansion.

There are at least thousands of direct descendants alone, not to mention the collateral descendants.

The Xie family is truly a prosperous family with many descendants. The idea of ​​a single-line inheritance for several generations does not exist in the Xie family.

The Xie family is just not as high-profile as the Ma family.

"Oh!?" Chen Yong raised his eyebrows slightly, took the visiting card from the Xie family, opened it and took a look.

As expected of a first-class family, this visiting card carries a lot of weight.

The golden words are very pleasing to the eye.

As soon as the visiting card was opened, there was a gift list inside.

"This Xie family is quite interesting."

Chen Yong looked at the polite words on the visiting card and the precious treasures on the gift list, and a smile appeared on his lips.

Last night, his enjoyment at Zuijinlou was disturbed, and the Xie family used this as an excuse to send him an apology gift.

"Let it hang out for now!"

Chen Yong closed the visiting card and placed it casually on the desk.

How could he meet these people just because they wanted to?

Let the bullets fly again...

"If you receive another visiting card, just put it on the desk. There's no need to come here to report."

Shen Yong threw down these words and walked towards Old Lady Shen's yard.

After things got out of hand last night, he knew this was going to happen.

This is also the reason why he took Jinju to Zuijinlou.

Taking a woman to a brothel, of course, means there is something serious going on...

......

"Mom, my sisters-in-law are all here."

Shen Yong stepped into Madam Shen's living room, looked at the people sitting in the living room, and the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

He could also understand the feelings of his sisters-in-law.

After all, he is the only one they can rely on now.

Now that he has gone to the brothel, his sisters-in-law must be afraid that he will repeat his old mistakes and become as careless and drunken as before.

Looking at the slightly disappointed eyes of his sisters-in-law, Shen Yong pursed his lips and smiled, and before Mrs. Shen asked, he started talking.

"Mother, sisters-in-law, have you heard that I went to a brothel?"

"Yes, what is going on?" Old Madam Shen nodded and asked directly.

If it was the former Old Seven, she wouldn't be surprised at all that he went to a brothel.

But now...

One should not indulge in beauty until one has avenged one's great hatred.

If the seventh brother really wants to, it is not impossible for him to get married first.

"Mother~" Shen Yong smiled and sat down below Old Madam Shen, looking around.

"Have you noticed that even after I took over Qianhuang City for so long, not a single aristocratic family or wealthy businessman has come to pay their respects?"

"......" Madam Shen frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and nodded.

"Indeed, no. I haven't received any visiting cards from any female relatives."

In theory, Qianhuang City now belongs to the seventh brother, and these people should pay him a visit to show their respect.

But the fact is, they have been so busy for so long, and no one has ever come to visit them.

They simply won the unanimous praise and sincere following of the people, and of course the soldiers.

As for the aristocratic families and wealthy businessmen who had been entrenched in Qianhuang City, it seemed as if they had discussed it beforehand, and none of them took the initiative.

She had been busy all day and hadn't thought about this matter.

Now that Lao Qi said this, she realized it.

The sisters-in-law looked at each other, their eyes full of realization.

Yes, it seems that no ladies have ever come to see them.

However, they were indeed too busy some time ago and did not pay attention to this matter.

Shen Yong sighed.

"That's right. Those wealthy business families have been on the sidelines for so long, which is not good for me."

"I think that people who go to Zuijinlou are usually either rich or noble."

"Not all of those rich and powerful people know me. If someone gets caught in a trap, you can't blame me for making an example of him."

Shen Yong said this, and looked at Old Madam Shen with a smile.

"Just wait, mother. A visiting card will be delivered to you soon."

As soon as Shen Yong finished speaking, a servant hurried in.

"Madam, the Wang family has sent a visiting card..."

The sisters-in-law widened their eyes in shock.

Lao Qi’s calculation is so accurate.

Old Madam Shen looked at Shen Yong in surprise, then glanced at the servant.

Meixiang immediately stepped forward, took the visiting card from the servant, and presented it to Mrs. Shen.

Mrs. Shen looked through the visiting card.

"Madam of the Wang family, are you going to meet her or not?!"

Madam Shen closed the visiting card and looked up at Shen Yong.

Shen Yong curled his lips and smiled, "Mother, who are you? How can they see you whenever they want?"

"Then... don't see him!?" Mrs. Shen couldn't figure out what Shen Yong wanted to do for a moment.

The effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey has been achieved, so naturally we have to build relationships with these aristocratic families.

Not to mention using them for your own benefit, at least they cannot become your enemies.

However, what Lao Qi said makes sense. You can't kill the chicken and then see the monkey. You have to let it dry for a while.

"Wait a minute." Chen Yong glanced at the visiting card. "The largest family in Qianhuang City is the Xie family. Let's wait for the Xie family to send the visiting card first."

Seeing the largest family in the city, the other families naturally couldn't sit still.

Whether he will see her or not depends on his mood. He can't see every little thing.

Fighting alone is not easy, and not everyone wants to do that.

He only needs the full support of those top families, and the rest of the small families will naturally flock to him.
