"Master Zhao, this is a small gift from Huang. Please accept it."

Li Mengyue had just found a secluded corner in the room to hide when she heard a man's extremely flattering voice.

Li Mengyue, who was in a hidden place, clearly saw a middle-aged man with a sheep's beard pick up a stack of banknotes on the table without any hesitation and put it into the inner pocket of his sleeve.

"Master Huang, Zhao came here today to tell you something very important. Please be more restrained in your behavior in the future. Our new county magistrate will not tolerate any injustice."

"Well, what am I supposed to do? You're the one who has the final say. You have so many people in the county government, what's wrong with the new county magistrate? No one can get ahead of you."

The man called Zhao Shiye, upon hearing Mr. Huang's flattering words, stroked his beard and said in a feigned displeasure, "Mr. Huang, what are you talking about? I'm just a Shiye. After all, the county magistrate is still my superior. Let it go this time, but I don't want to hear anything like that again."

Landlord Huang raised his hand, gently patted his cheek, and anxiously defended himself: "It's Huang's fault, Master Zhao is right."

"Alright, alright, just be careful next time. I heard you're going to marry a fake daughter to be your eighteenth concubine today, so I'm going to have to ask for a glass of wedding wine today."

“This…this.”

"What's wrong? Mr. Huang can't even bear to spend a glass of wedding wine."

"Master Zhao, you are slandering me, Huang, by saying this. How could I be reluctant to do this? We won't go home until we are drunk tonight." Landlord Huang thought of Master Zhao's previous actions, and cursed in his heart, but he had to agree.

"Then Zhao will go to the guest room to rest for a while and wait for the wedding wine."

After Master Zhao finished speaking, without waiting for Landlord Huang's consent, he called the servant outside the door to take him to the guest room to rest.

After Mr. Zhao left, Mr. Huang's smiling face suddenly became gloomy, and he asked his personal servant to call the steward Qian.

After a cup of tea, Butler Qian came over in a panic, but before he could tell Landlord Huang that the woman he brought to Wutong Courtyard was missing.

Landlord Huang immediately scolded Steward Qian. Seeing that Steward Qian said nothing and just knelt on the ground to admit his fault, Landlord Huang felt annoyed and said lazily, "I have never treated you badly. Keep it a secret and don't let anyone know about the fake daughter's affair."

"Master, I have always done the favors you have asked me to do. This time, I will strictly follow your instructions and pick up the people at night."

"That's strange. How did Master Zhao know about this? Forget it. Since Master Zhao knows, at most he can go to the bridal chamber first. After all, she's in her own house now, so she can do whatever she wants."

Landlord Huang was well aware of Master Zhao's lustful intentions, and now that he knew about it, he would definitely not leave tonight.

Instead of offending each other, it is better to play together and strengthen the relationship.

Besides, when the new county magistrate takes office, he still has to rely on the protection of Mr. Zhao. She is just a woman, so it is not appropriate to fall out with Mr. Zhao.

Landlord Huang thought clearly about the interests involved, then looked at Butler Qian and said excitedly: "What does she look like? Is she as beautiful as a flower?"

Without waiting for a reply from Steward Qian, Landlord Huang muttered to himself, "That must be the case. I heard that this girl was exchanged for a wealthy family in the capital at birth. What kind of place is the capital? Under the feet of the emperor, how could a sixteen-year-old daughter be an ugly girl?"

"Master, the person is not..." Seeing his master's excited look, Butler Qian wanted to say that the person was missing, but he was worried that he would not be able to withstand the master's anger after saying it.

Landlord Huang was imagining how beautiful the fake daughter was, and didn't notice that Butler Qian was hesitant to speak.

"Okay, you go down and prepare first. I need to dress up well and can't lose face in front of the fake daughter." Landlord Huang waved to Butler Qian.

Butler Qian was filled with worry, wondering how he would explain himself when his master found out that the person was missing.

When Landlord Huang returned to his bedroom, a maid was already waiting in the room, carrying wedding clothes and other necessary items.

"Come here, give me a good wash."

The maid carrying the things knelt and saluted, and replied in a coquettish manner, "Yes, Master."

When Li Mengyue heard Landlord Huang reveal her former identity as a fake daughter, she guessed that it was related to Yun Ran.

After all, at this moment, Yun Ran was the only one who wanted her to disappear the most, and in fact, Li Mengyue was not wrong.
