Chapter 790 792. Wrong

Wu Nanping naturally would not swallow this loss alone, so he just left Meng's house and did not even bother to go home, and asked the driver to go directly to Tianle Restaurant.

Wu Kun and Old Man Wu are waiting here at the moment. Since they have made an appointment long ago, any news will be sent here directly.

Seeing Wu Nanping's carriage stop, Old Man Wu personally stood by the carriage and helped Wu Nanping get off.

"Uncle, you guys really screwed me over this matter," Wu Nanping started complaining as soon as he opened his mouth.

Tianle Restaurant has not been in the mood for business these past two days and has declined all customers. Now there are only a few of them in the entire restaurant.

"Master, what's going on now? Can Wu Hao come back?" Grandpa Wu's first reaction was to care about his eldest son. As for whether to cheat him or not? Now that it has come to this, let's save him first.

"Come back! This kid is so bold that he has caused such a big trouble.

I lost face for him, begged this and that, but he caused such a huge loss to the family.

I came here today to talk to you. The losses here will be borne by yourselves."

When Old Master Wu saw the master of the family talking about losses all the time, he became anxious and said, "It's okay to spend money, but at least you have to release the person."

"You are quite arrogant," Wu Nanping said. He was accused everywhere and had to beg for help. He was already very angry. "Then you must keep your word and take the responsibility this time.

You really don't know what Wu Hao is doing with Wu Anhou?"

"Marquis Wu'an?" Wu Kun's eyes lit up. "Is this true?"

"You don't think this is a good thing?" Wu Nanping glanced at him, "I don't know whether he succeeded or not, but if he wants to get out of prison this time, he will have to go through a lot.

It just so happens that both of you are here, so let's talk about what our family has lost because of Wu Hao this time."

Mr. Wu: "Please speak."

…

When Wu Nanping left, the Wu family father and son collapsed in their seats. The assets of their branch were going to shrink greatly.

They are responsible for all losses and have to appease the other families.

Now, as long as the sincerity is there, Wu Hao can come out naturally.

The father and son deliberated for a long time in the private room, and when the matter was settled, they had little left.

After all the hard work he has put in over the years, in the end he can only be an ordinary rich man.

"This..." Wu Kun was panicking. He could not even keep the restaurants under him. "We pay so much money to the owner every year, but when it comes to the critical moment, these people refuse to pay.

You promised to protect us, but if something happens, we have to deal with it ourselves..."

"Shut up, don't say that to anyone." Old Master Wu grabbed his arm and said, "The head of the family is pretty good. He has been running around for several days for this matter. He will have to repay the favor in the future."

Mr. Wu knew that there was no way to change this, so why bother saying bad things and offending more people.

"Call the other brothers back, and we'll settle the matter when the time comes. Since the head of the family has spoken, we can't delay this matter any longer, and we have to deal with it as soon as possible."

Wu Kun, "Dad, these are all built up bit by bit by several generations. I am a little unwilling to give up..."

These were all eldest brother's own faults, why should the whole family bear the consequences?

"Don't forget, I'm still the one in charge of this family." Old Master Wu knew that his children would definitely be unhappy. After all, the eldest son had almost wiped out the entire industry this time.

"I also know that it is your eldest brother who has let you down this time, but what can we do? We are all family. Do you think that if we just leave him alone, the clan will just let it go?"

Wu Kun: "..."

Several noble families acted quickly, picking and choosing, and as if by tacit understanding, they handed over the fabrics and garment shops.

In their area, most people weave cloth and make clothes at home. The income from these two kinds of shops is not much, so it is not a big loss for them to sell them out.

Gu Wenheng had already guessed this result, but it didn't matter, things like this could only be done slowly.

Go to Beijing

As soon as Bai Jinglie got the news, he locked himself in his study for the whole day.

When he came out again, he was holding a letter of apology in his hand.

Deng Mei'e, who was standing guard outside, walked over with a worried look on her face, "My Lord, what happened?"

"Don't worry about this, just take good care of the child."

Deng Mei'e bit her lip and said, "If it's really difficult, why don't you write a letter to my father?"

As Bai Jinglie's bedmate, Deng Mei'e knew that Bai Jinglie had his own pride. Over the years, even when he encountered difficulties, he never asked the Yue family for help.

Bai Jinglie glanced at her and said, "For your father-in-law's sake, you should have less correspondence with him."

Deng Mei'e: "…But the higher-ups are also being taboo?"

"Don't ask about these things, just be a good wife of the Marquis.

We are in mourning now, you should control your servants and try to keep them out of the house as little as possible."

Deng Mei'e happened to see the letter of apology in his hand and clenched her fists, but she didn't ask in the end.

She had no right to ask about Bai Jinglie's affairs. There were many things she didn't know the inside story of, so why bother asking and make a fool of herself?

Bai Jinglie ignored her and went to the front yard alone with the memorial and asked the housekeeper to send it out.

A man sat in the front hall with his hands on his temples.

He didn't understand how things had come to this.

He shouldn't have been greedy for the money in the first place, but she was unwilling to accept that she had worked so hard only to get an empty title.

He didn't dare to ask the emperor for money. Gu Wenheng had also earned so much money, so what difference would it make if he got a little less? He would just consider it as payment for her hard work.

But Gu Wenheng was unkind and reported the matter to the emperor immediately.

The people below were just there to do the work. They were just asked to monitor Gu Wenheng and his wife. Unexpectedly, these two people acted on their own and brought themselves into big trouble.

He really wanted to pay attention to Gu Wenheng's movements and did not order them to take any action.

Those guys who thought they were smart, if they got the job done, everyone would be happy, but they caused such a big mess for him, and in the end he had to clean it up.

He could foresee that it would be extremely difficult for him to recover three years later.

He also received the latest news that the emperor had sent people to take over all the things he was doing, including the glass workshop. Except for his share of the shares, all other things were taken over.

Still wrong...

Ten years later

Gu Wenheng realized that Hua Shunming had already set his sights on him just as he had guessed.

As soon as things start to improve in a place, he will be quickly moved to another location.

Although there were promotions, the challenges I faced each time were more difficult than the last.

However, in just over a decade, although he had become a high-ranking official, he had never enjoyed a few days of happiness.

Looking at the imperial edict in his hand, Gu Wenheng smiled bitterly. In fact, he really didn't want to go back to Beijing now. The prince was already grown up, wouldn't it be like entering a den of wolves if he went back now?

"I thought I could enjoy a few more years of peace and quiet here, but I didn't expect that I couldn't escape..."
