Yun Zheng was the only daughter of the richest man in Daqi, wealthy beyond measure. In her previous life, she married into the Marquis's estate with a dowry covering ten li, only to become a la...
Chapter 191 You Don’t Understand the Joy of Sharing Money
At this moment, Qian Wei and his wife walked in. The atmosphere around them became quiet, and everyone subconsciously looked at Yun Zheng.
I heard that the Qian family and Princess Jinyun were fighting each other with both open and covert attacks, and they were almost fighting each other's brains out.
If this happens in public, will there be another fight?
"Hey, why are Mr. and Mrs. Qian dressed so... plainly? If you didn't know, you would think the Qian family is broke."
"What a joke! Any family could be broke, but the Qian family is the only one who can't be broke. As the Governor of Jiangnan, the finances and taxes of Jiangnan are all under his control."
"I heard that in Jiangnan, whether you're doing business or holding an official position, you have to pay tribute to him, otherwise you won't be able to move forward."
"He was so ruthless in scraping the dirt that the people in Jiangnan nicknamed him a money scraper."
"Oh my god, there's even such a theory? So, are they wearing such simple clothes today to express their sympathy and pity for Princess Yongning?"
"Master Qian is the Emperor's confidant and knows the Emperor's intentions very well. Could it be that the Emperor...can't bear it?"
Everyone was guessing and guessing, extremely curious.
Qian Wei was not wearing official uniform, but casual clothes, looking like a local rich man.
However, Jiang Shurong was wearing old clothes, and only had a pair of pearl earrings and a pearl hairpin on her head. She looked completely different from her usual luxurious appearance surrounded by pearls and jade.
Qian Wei met all the princes and royal nobles. Everyone was very polite to him, especially the four princes, who were quite close to him.
The Governor-General of Jiangnan is the money bag, and everyone wants to recruit him under his command. To win people's hearts, money is indispensable.
Qian Wei knew clearly in his heart that people were after his money and power.
However, he did not dare to have any ideas, nor did he dare to surrender to the prince in advance.
He is the emperor's confidant, and without the emperor, he is nothing.
Only by holding on tightly to the emperor's thigh and being loyal to him, the emperor will protect him.
But... he found the crimson figure in the crowd, Yun Zheng.
Yun Zheng looked at him with a smile, her eyes raised.
Qian Wei felt upset, humph, a villain is succeeding.
He took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, walked up to Yun Zheng, and presented a brocade box with both hands, "Princess, these things are returned to their original owners."
When Yun Zheng opened it, she saw the deeds to fifteen farms and eighteen shops.
This originally belonged to the Yun family. Yun Zheng's eyes were slightly hot and she was very excited.
I can get it back in my lifetime. Good, really good. Power is really good.
Just as it was given away in humiliation, it was now taken back in glory. The trampled dignity of the Yun family was restored at this moment.
"Okay, I'll take it."
After Yun Zheng accepted it, she looked at Qian Wei with an unchanged expression.
Everyone looked at them in bewilderment. Why didn't they fight? How disappointing.
Qian Wei cursed in his heart. Even with so many gifts, she still couldn't soften her heart and refused to give him a way out.
Even if she said that the matter ended here, he wouldn't have to embarrass himself anymore.
But now, he had to apologize publicly, otherwise he would be disobeying the emperor's will.
Qian Wei was angry and annoyed, but because of the emperor's order, he didn't dare to turn around and leave.
A strong sense of humiliation welled up in his heart. "I...please everyone bear witness for me."
Everyone's eyes widened in unison. What did this mean? What were they witnessing?
Qian Wei closed his eyes, suppressing all the complicated emotions. When he opened his eyes again, he had returned to normal.
He smiled and bowed deeply, "I, Qian Wei, the Governor of Jiangnan, publicly apologize to Princess Jinyun. I was wrong, please forgive me."
He had never been so embarrassed in his life!
He extended his hand to Jiang Shurong, who was holding a big red brocade box and refused to let go, which made him feel heartbroken.
Qian Wei snatched it away impatiently and said, "Since I've done it, I might as well do it beautifully and there's nothing wrong with it."
"This is a silver note worth two hundred thousand taels. It's my Qian family's apology. Princess Jinyun, please accept it. The feud between our two families ends here. From now on, we will keep our distance."
There was an uproar and buzzing at the scene.
"Did I hear correctly? Lord Qian apologized to the princess?"
"Yes, he even gave me two hundred thousand taels of silver as an apology. Oh my god, what a generous gesture."
"Did Master Qian take the wrong medicine? Or is he crazy? He actually apologized in public!"
"I'm afraid the princess has caught him and he has no choice but to bow his head."
"The Qian family actually bowed to a woman and lost all their dignity. Alas, how sad and lamentable."
Yun Zheng counted the money with a smile on her face, not caring at all about being called greedy.
Qian Wei frowned. Counting money in public was really not decent. However, he didn't notice that Jiang Shurong looked nervous.
Yun Zheng counted and found that there was one less.
"Master Qian, there is a shortage of thirty thousand."
Ten thousand stacks, neatly stacked, seventeen stacks in total.
Qian Wei's face turned red and he glared at Jiang Shurong fiercely. He failed at the critical moment and was embarrassed.
"Take it out quickly."
Jiang Shurong pursed her lips and tightly grasped her sleeves. Why should I give it to you?
This money was so hard to come by, and she offended her parents so much that she will never be able to return to her parents' home.
She sold all the things in her house. She had no decent clothes or jewelry left and was heavily in debt.
"I don't have any money."
No one knows a wife better than her husband. How could Qian Wei not know what she was thinking? His heart was bleeding. Losing money was a small matter, but the Qian family's reputation was trampled under Yun Zheng's feet. This was the big deal.
He grabbed her sleeve and pulled out a few sachets containing 30,000 taels of silver.
"master."
Qian Wei glared at her coldly, and Jiang Shurong felt a chill on her back.
"Here's thirty thousand. Take it."
After Yun Zheng finished counting, she nodded slightly, "Two hundred thousand is all we have. From now on, all the grudges between our two families will be settled. Mr. Qian, please take care of your family. If they dare to take advantage of me again, I will not be polite either."
Qian Wei gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, "Okay."
Yun Zheng was in a good mood and casually took out a few silver notes, "Here, rewards."
Each of the guards around him handed out a silver note. When everyone looked closely, they saw that it was worth one hundred taels, and they were immediately overjoyed.
Follow a generous master, eat meat and drink soup, be happy!
Yun Zheng looked at the Jiangcheng Princess beside her, her eyes full of envy, and casually pulled out a silver note and gave it to her, "Awu, this is yours, this is called seeing it and getting a share, share in the joy."
Princess Jiangcheng was so happy, "Hahaha, thank you, Azheng."
She didn't need this little money, but since it was stolen money, she felt particularly happy to take it.
Yun Zheng is like the girl Sudhana, who gives money to anyone she likes.
"Susu, yours."
"Wanjing, yours."
"Mingli, yours."
One was the Third Prince's wife Xu Wanjing, and the other was the Third Prince's concubine Cheng Mingli. They looked at each other and were stunned.
"Me too?"
"Of course, we are friends. We are all here to share in the good fortune and wish everyone prosperity. Let's get rich together."
Xu Wanjing showed a happy smile on her face. She liked to hear these words.
The joy of sharing the money infected everyone at the scene, making them envious and jealous, and they wanted it too!
The Fourth Prince glared at Yun Zheng fiercely, and then glared at his wives and concubines, saying they were so useless.
The Fourth Prince's wife and the concubine looked bewildered and puzzled.
They have no relationship with Princess Jinyun, so it's normal not to give them any.
Besides, does the Prince's Mansion need this little money? Is it really that important?
The Fourth Prince suddenly stood up and raised his hand, "Princess, give me a banknote as well."
The laughter in the room suddenly stopped, and everyone stared at him blankly. Was he begging for money? Hey, he's a prince!
The Fourth Prince's wife was extremely embarrassed, "Husband, have some tea, have some tea."
The Fourth Prince pushed her away and said, "I want to share in the good fortune too. Give me one quickly."
Is it the banknotes he wants? No, it's happiness! It's rolling wealth!
The Third Prince’s Palace is already there, so must the Fourth Prince’s Palace!
Everyone: ...The prince is so shameless!
Yun Zheng paused holding the banknote, frowning slightly. Give it? Or not?
At this moment, something unexpected happened!
