"I'm sorry to have frightened the lady!"
When the Shuntian prefect smiled, his uneven teeth were exposed, and one of his canine teeth was very sharp, which looked a bit cute.
Jiang Shuyue bowed softly and said, "Fortunately, the prince and the adults are here, otherwise if they go crazy, I'm afraid something really bad will happen."
"Madam, you are too kind. They have ulterior motives to begin with. How can we allow them to continue to act so recklessly?"
Huahua: [Look at this prefect, his son's melon is so delicious.]
When the governor of Shuntian heard that there was a big news in his family, his face changed.
Can't you talk about his family's gossip quietly?
With so many people listening, where would he put his face?
"Madam, let's..."
"Let's sit down and have some tea to calm our nerves. Go buy some snacks to entertain the lady and the young master."
King Huai took over the topic with a smile and took Jiang Shuyue to a seat.
The Shuntian prefect's brows were twisted into a knot.
Who can understand the pain in his heart?
Jiang Shuyue: [Are the melons from his shop fragrant?]
Huahua: [Xiang, Er'er is sweet! ]
Huahua used her two little baby teeth to grind the snacks, and looked at the face of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor, smiling from ear to ear.
Huahua: [He has two sons. The eldest is an official posted abroad, while the second is still studying. He just returned from school not long ago and is preparing to take the Spring Examination.]
However, his son brought back an orphan girl, claiming she was his savior. He was completely devoted to her and planned to marry her after taking the imperial examination.
[However, although she was an orphan, she was a well-known white lotus. She waited at the foot of the mountain for five days until her youngest son was finally born. Then she immediately took him away and pretended to be his savior.]
[The gangsters were also arranged by them, just for this drama.]
The Shuntian prefect's heart was pounding.
His second son is already engaged, how can he marry someone else?
That woman looks weak and innocent, with a face that makes people feel distressed, but how could she be so vicious!
King Huai patted the Shuntian prefect's shoulder sympathetically.
King Huai: Every family has its own problems, please accept my condolences!
Shuntian Prefecture Governor: Your Highness, no one has died in my family yet. Could you consider your wording?
Jiang Shuyue: [You just mentioned them? The orphan girl isn't alone?]
Huahua: [Of course! How could an orphan girl from another place, who had never met the Second Son, possibly be able to hook up with him so accurately?]
The Shuntian prefect had an older brother who died young, leaving behind a widow and a son. The widow was originally going to marry the old prefect, but she looked down on the illegitimate son of a prefect, so she sent her younger sister to marry him instead. After her husband died, she watched her younger sister's family getting better and better, and she was filled with jealousy every day.
[Over the years, she always told her concubine's sister that the marriage was given up, so as to make her feel guilty and give her money and things. If it weren't for her cousins, she would even want her concubine's daughter to marry her super-heroic son.]
Super male?
Jiang Shuyue's eyes lit up and she stared at the Shuntian prefect with great interest.
His eyes revealed one part sympathy, one part pity, and eight parts gossip excitement.
This was the first time that the Shuntian prefect knew about this.
When he changed his wife, he guessed it and thought the new wife was pretty good, so he didn't think much about it and just wanted to live a good life.
Unexpectedly, his sister-in-law would use this matter to target his wife.
She was the one who wanted to replace the person in the first place, and she is the one causing trouble now.
There's something wrong with you!
Huahua: [That Chaoxiong son is always acting like a troublemaker, eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, and getting into trouble all the time, but his family still dreams of being rich and powerful, and yet they look down on the prefectural governor's family.]
[The eldest son has already started a family and a career, so it's difficult to target him now that he's out of town. The second son is relatively inexperienced and simple, so he's easier to target.]
The orphan girl was Chaoxiong's mistress. They planned to marry her to their second son. If the second son performed well in the exam, they would let the mistress marry him and drain his wealth. If he performed poorly, they would take away a large sum of money, leaving the second son penniless.
Jiang Shuyue: [The plan isn't vicious, but it's quite annoying.]
Huahua: [There's something even more disgusting. That orphan girl is pregnant with Chao Xiong's child. I predict it's a boy. If they really get married and have a child, the second son's family will definitely be in trouble.]
Jiang Shuyue: [In the original novel, did the child pass the exam?]
Huahua: [The ranking isn't very high, but I made it in, I think I was 13th.]
Being able to rank thirteenth among tens of thousands of students is already quite good.
With the help of my father's connections, it is not a problem to have a good future.
Jiang Shuyue looked at the Shuntian Prefecture Governor with sympathy: [The old man was a good person, what a pity.]
The governor of Shuntian Prefecture wanted to kill someone.
It was a pity that he had to teach his own flesh and blood a lesson many times for the sake of his nephew.
He didn't expect that this ungrateful and ungrateful person would actually want to plot against his son!
How outrageous!
Huahua: [The first and second wives haven't split up yet. Chaoxiong from the first wife has a lot of gambling debts. If they don't split up, the prefect will have to pay them back.]
Jiang Shuyue: [How much do you owe?]
The prefect was also very concerned about this issue and listened attentively.
Huahua thought for a moment and said, "Actually, for a wealthy family, it's not much, maybe 40,000 or 50,000 taels. But the interest rate is high, and this guy keeps increasing the amount. I guess by the end of the Spring Examination, it will be at least 80,000 or 90,000 taels of silver."
[The wife of the Shuntian Prefecture Governor's family was a merchant family, so her dowry was generous. Over the years, her family also gave her many shops and money. The eldest wife was attracted by this and took action.]
The Shuntian prefect was thinking, "Fuck you!" and ran over frantically.
Did his wife's money fall from the sky? Or was it blown here by the wind?
You want to take the money with just a few words and even cheat on your own son? Don’t even think about it!
"Your Majesty, I remember that I have some unfinished business, so I will take my leave now."
"Go ahead."
If you don't go now, the loss will not be just a few tens of thousands of taels.
King Huai also understood the pain of men, so he sent a few yamen runners to go back with the Shuntian prefect.
Jiang Shuyue watched him leave in a hurry, still sighing: [What a nice old man, how could he have met such a relative? How unlucky.]
Huahua: [Speaking of bad luck, the one who's the most unlucky right now is Jin San. Just imagine the old Jin emperor's expression when he received the news. Tsk tsk tsk.]
Jiang Shuyue also started to click her tongue.
She suddenly said with a sly smile: "Tell me, does the old Jin emperor's tastes resemble his son's? He dotes on Jin San so much, probably because this son is the most like him, right?"
Huahua narrowed her eyes, and her smile was exactly the same as Jiang Shuyue's.
If you don’t know, you would think they are really mother and son.
Huahua: [Host, do you think the same as I do? ]
Jiang Shuyue: [The courtesan wants to leave the Great Zhou anyway, so why not give him a ride? Maybe he can find a new queen in the Kingdom of Jin.]
Huahua: [Hehe, the old Jin emperor is only fifty-eight, maybe he's still got some talent and can give Jin San a brother!]
