Chapter 51 The Unknown Secret of the Previous Life

In fact, the Yun family's business was able to grow so big because they had taken refuge with the Governor of Jiangnan. After all, he had the final say in Jiangnan and no one could get around him.

The Yun family paid a lot, but desires are insatiable.

At that time, there was more than one family that wanted to wipe out the entire family.

Just when the Yun family was actively trying to save themselves, Jiang Shurong, the step-wife of the Governor of Jiangnan and the half-sister of Jiang Zhen, the Marquis of Pingxi, intervened and personally acted as a matchmaker for the marriage in the Marquis's mansion.

I thought marrying into a marquis's mansion would guarantee a lifetime of peace, but who knew it would lead to a den of wolves...

In her previous life, Yun Zheng was trapped in the backyard of the Marquis' Mansion for ten years. She reviewed the situation over and over again and figured out the unknown secret behind this marriage.

She was heartbroken during the review and also grew madly in the pain.

She did not waste those ten years, but unfortunately, one wrong step led to another, and she lost the opportunity from the very beginning.

Father Yun had a worried look on his face. "We can't afford to offend the Governor of Jiangnan. He has that master behind him."

The Governor-General of Jiangnan came from a poor family, but he was lucky.

His mother was the current emperor's wet nurse, and he became the emperor's most trusted wet nurse. When the emperor ascended the throne, he rose to prominence and became extremely powerful.

Yun Zheng sneered, "If he really wanted to close the business, he wouldn't have written a letter questioning it. If I'm not mistaken, he's testing me."

Father Yun was a little confused, "Test?"

Yun Zheng knew what was going on, "To test whether we really have lost the Nine Thousand Years Old Man."

There are not many people who can make the Governor of Jiangnan worried, and Jiu Qiansui is one of them.

"Don't worry, Dad. I'll write a reply."

In the letter, Yun Zheng briefly described what happened to his daughter after her marriage in the tone of her father, emphasizing that she had met the wrong man and had no choice but to hand over her dowry. Now half of the Yun family's property will be handed over to the national treasury, and the other half will go to the Ninth Prince, just in exchange for peace.

He also said that if one wanted to seal off the Jiangnan industries, one should first consult the Emperor and the Ninth Prince, as the Yun family could not make the decision.

They also questioned whether the Jiangnan Governor and his wife knew about the marriage fraud at the Pingxi Marquis's mansion beforehand and whether they were aiding and abetting the evil.

Finally, he said that this letter would be sent to the Ninth Prince for his instructions.

Father Yun looked at this letter that was filled with both soft and hard tactics, and his mood was very complicated. "Zheng'er, you have matured a lot, considering things more carefully, and your temperament has become stronger."

Before she got married, she was protected too well and had never experienced cruel failure or seen the truly ugly human nature. She was very smart and clever, but also had some girlish innocence and romance, and had beautiful visions and yearnings for the future.

And now, she is still smiling, but all the romance and brightness are gone, replaced by coldness, alienation and madness in her eyes.

How should I put it? It's a kind of calm madness.

Yun Zheng smiled slightly, thinking that it was good to use the tiger skin as a banner.

"Father, our Yun family is in crisis, and there are too many people watching us. That's why I dealt with the dowry like this. But I promise that one day I will get back all the hard work you and mother put in."

A woman’s dowry is accumulated from the moment she is born, and is the result of her parents’ hard work and love for more than ten years.

Yun Zheng's heart was bleeding and she was gritting her teeth in hatred at how she handled the dowry, but she had to put on a smile so that no one would notice.

Yunmu's eyes were red, and she hugged her daughter tightly. "This is not important. What's important is that our family lives well. Zheng'er, you have to live well."

Father Yun stroked his daughter's head gently, feeling uneasy. It was uneasy, really too uneasy.

Yun Zheng nestled in her mother's arms, smelling her mother's familiar scent, and her eyes became red.

Yes, they all want to live well.

The Governor of Jiangnan, Qian Wei, the Governor's wife, Jiang Shurong, and the third prince were all in her black book.

Well, she has quite a lot of enemies. Don’t be in a hurry. Just take them down one by one!

The ghost doctor in the corner watched this scene with mixed emotions. He swore to protect the Yun family.

For the future of his grandson and the future of his family, he dares to do anything!

Yun Zheng was exhausted after a long day and had just returned to the Marquis' Mansion when she was stopped. "Second Young Master's Madam, the Second Young Master asked you to attend to the patient."

The person who came was Jiang Wenzhou's personal servant, and his attitude was very tough.

Why are you here again? Still not giving up? Yun Zheng was exhausted and just wanted to go back to her room, take a hot bath, and have a good sleep.

She glanced at Aunt Ji beside her, who immediately shouted, "We are busy with official duties and cannot spare time. If Ye Shi is unable to take care of you, then we will divorce her. She is useless."

Which princess, county lady, or princess attends to her mother-in-law? It's just a formality.

Although the title of village chief is small, it is also a title of nobility.

The servant did not force it. "If you are not free, then let the servants take some herbs and supplements to visit Madam. Here is the list."

Yun Zheng laughed angrily when she saw the list. It turned out that they were trying to get benefits. Was the Marquis' Mansion so poor that they didn't even have money to buy medicine?

Centennial ginseng? Deer antler? Cordyceps? Tiger bone? Blood swallow's nest? Snow clam?

She has it, but she won't give it!

"You're a step too late. They've all been sold out."

The servant rolled his eyes and said, "Then, give us 20,000 taels of silver and we'll go buy it ourselves."

Yun Zheng understood that they were just doing it for money.

"All of it has been handed over to the national treasury. Please write a letter to the current emperor, requesting that he allocate a special amount of money for the treatment of the Marquis' wife."

If this gets out, you'll become a laughing stock.

The servant was met with disapproval and went back to exaggerate, "The Second Young Master's wife said she was busy and had no time to serve an old woman."

The Marquis' wife was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She even wrote to the emperor to allocate funds for treatment? Didn't she think the Marquis's family was unlucky enough?

"What sins did I commit in my previous life? Both of the daughters-in-law I married are unlucky. Not one of them is good."

Jiang Wenzhou couldn't bear it any longer. "Mother, if you're scolding Yun Zheng, don't bring Zhen Zhen with you. Zhen Zhen has been waiting on you day and night and is so tired and thin."

Madam Hou glared at the dusty Ye Yizhen fiercely, "If she were a good person, she would buy medicinal herbs and supplements for her mother-in-law."

She felt that her illness had not been cured because she had not used precious medicinal herbs!

Ye Yizhen's face looked very ugly. How could she have the money?

Money, money, money, money all the time, it's so annoying. Damn Yun Zheng, why didn't she give me her dowry? Why did she hand it over to the national treasury?

Damn it!

The Marquis' wife was angry. Although she couldn't control Yun Zheng, she could control Ye Yizhen and make her run around in circles.

Ye Yizhen was so tired that she didn't even have time to copy the female ring. This couldn't go on, she had to think of a solution.

"My dear, this is extremely unfilial. If the Emperor knew, he would definitely revoke her title as the village chief."

Jiang Wenzhou knew very well that this title was not only a reward for Yun Zheng's donation, but also a deliberate attempt to disgust him.

Who made him eat the thousand-year-old blood ginseng? The emperor didn't even touch it, but a minister touched it. Can he be forgiven?

Even with the Mingjingsi around, he still wanted to get away with it. He was too naive.

As long as the emperor is on the throne, he will never be able to turn the tables. After realizing this, he felt very depressed. "Where is my father?"

"This..." The butler looked conflicted.

"Speak!" Jiang Wenzhou had a bad feeling.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, then told Jiang Wenzhou a piece of news that made him collapse. He was struck by lightning, and his vision went dark...
