Chapter 543: Rough and direct, she likes it
Lin Mo didn't want to talk.
Is this how straight men give gifts?
Rough and direct.
But she likes it!
No one dislikes real money.
Anyway, she likes it very much. This is the way the world is. Although money is not everything, living without money is absolutely impossible.
Therefore, Lin Mo accepted it with a happy smile, "Master Qi's gift touched my heart, so I won't be polite."
The shop is not given away for free, you can still make money.
Qi Zhenghuan said with a straight face, "You love money, everyone knows that."
So you don't have to spend special time preparing a gift for her, just give her the money directly.
Lin Mo, “…”
"Nonsense, who made up this rumor?" Lin Mo retorted:
"I don't love money, I just like yellow and silver things."
Absolutely cannot admit it.
Qi Zhenghuan twitched his lips, his eyes falling on her belly:
"Be careful not to give birth to a son who is as duplicitous as you."
"It's good to be like me, isn't it?" Lin Mo raised his eyebrows:
"These days, people without morals live happily, while people with morals die quickly. I hope my son is as immoral as I am.
Besides, who told you that it’s a son, so why not a daughter?
Also, you are quite well-informed. You knew it before I even told anyone.
Tell me the truth, who did you bribe?"
"Do you think I dare?" Qi Zhenghuan shook his head, "Besides, don't you know whether there is any or not?
I can guess, because I'm not an idiot."
Her belly is already big, should I still deceive myself and tell her that she has gained weight?
Besides, even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run, okay?
Do you think he married and had children for nothing?
Lin Mo chuckled, "Since Patriarch Qi has guessed it, please keep it a secret.
The Song family has been secretly watching this place. If the news of my pregnancy gets out, I'm afraid they will take action against me.
Although I am not afraid of the Song family, my current situation is special, so it is better to avoid trouble for the time being."
Qi Zhenghuan shook his head, "Don't worry, I'm not a talkative person.
But it looks like you won’t be able to hide for long.”
…
After Qi Zhenghuan left, Lin Mo was still sitting in the study.
Xu Pinggui came in and said, "Young Madam, the head of the Qi family has arranged for us to stay in the side courtyard."
Lin Mo nodded, and she raised her head:
"Pinggui, secretly clean out the people here again. Don't let anyone who is suspicious go."
"Young Madam, do you suspect that there are people from the Qi family among us, or that there are people who have been bribed by the Qi family?" Xu Pinggui frowned.
"We can't rule out this possibility. Let's clear it out anyway." Lin Mo's face showed a trace of fatigue. "It's better to be prepared."
Qi Zhenghuan actually noticed that she was pregnant. This man is really meticulous, so it’s better to be more cautious.
After Xu Pinggui left, Lin Mo continued to sit in the study.
Only when I was tired would I go back to my own yard to rest.
When she woke up, she received a message from He Minhao saying that they were going to leave tomorrow, so they would not come to say goodbye to her in person tomorrow.
He wanted to leave, but he was afraid he couldn't leave for a while because someone didn't want to leave.
Lin Mo thought for a moment and asked Xu Dapeng to pack some local specialties and send them to He Minhao, wishing him a safe journey.
Who can't act?
After everything was arranged, Lin Mo asked someone to prepare a welcoming banquet for Qi Zhenghuan.
The welcoming banquet was even more sumptuous than yesterday's. Without Xu Xianyu's deliberate difficulties, the guests were all happy at the banquet.
Just when Lin Mo was entertaining Qi Zhenghuan, Uncle He came to find Jiang Wenhao.
Looking at Uncle He who had avoided everyone and entered his room, Jiang Wenhao put down the brush in his hand and looked at him indifferently:
"What's up?"
Uncle He said respectfully, "Meetings, Master Jiang."
Jiang Wenhao stood up from the desk, then walked to the table and sat down.
He reached out and took out two clean cups. After pouring tea into them, he pushed one cup aside and picked up the other one.
"Sit down and have some tea."
Uncle He didn't refuse. He sat down and picked up the teacup.
Neither of them spoke and sipped their tea slowly. For a moment, the room was exceptionally quiet.
After a while, Uncle He put down his teacup and looked up:
"Master Jiang, my master asked me to come here for another purpose. I was asked to come here to mediate the Xu family's affairs. The He family has no intention of cooperating with the Xu family. Please rest assured."
"Song family?" Jiang Wenhao was very direct.
He had not forgotten that the Song family had suffered a great loss at the hands of Lin Mo.
So, how could the Song family not take action?
Knowing that they would not get any useful information by inquiring secretly, they simply asked the He family to come to their house openly to help them inquire about the information.
The Song family is quite smart, but the head of the He family is not necessarily so smart.
Uncle He neither admitted nor denied it. He looked at Jiang Wenhao seriously and said, "My master hasn't forgotten his identity.
The reason why they helped the Song family was because they had business dealings with the Song family.
Besides, since the head of the Song family has spoken, it’s hard for my master to refuse, so he can only let me go with my young master to see the situation.”
Jiang Wenhao thought to himself that if he really wanted to refuse, the head of the Song family would not really make things difficult for him. The He family was just going along with it.
Jiang Wenhao didn't show it, and continued to drink his tea slowly. When he finally put down the teacup, he looked up:
"Then what did the Song family ask you to come here to investigate?"
Uncle He hesitated and said:
“Nothing.
I just want to know about the Xu family's situation here, and their patrols and guards."
Jiang Wenhao glanced at him, then stood up and walked towards the desk.
Soon he came back with an extra piece of paper in his hand.
"Everything you want to know is here."
Uncle He took the paper he handed to him and his eyes lit up.
There is a small map on it, which can be seen as the map of Beijia Village, and there are a lot of tiny words written on it, which describe the situation of the Xu family.
"This is enough for you to report to the emperor. Take it and leave quickly." Jiang Wenhao said with a cold face.
Uncle He quickly controlled his expression, "Master Jiang, what about you?
When will you leave here?"
Jiang Wenhao glanced at him and said, "My business has nothing to do with you.
Tell your family head that if the He family doesn't want to suffer misfortune, they should have less contact with the Xu and Song families."
Uncle He nodded and said, "I will definitely tell my family's head about this.
But you also know that the He family is in business, and doing business inevitably involves dealing with all kinds of people. I hope Master Jiang will forgive me."
Speaking of this, Uncle He felt embarrassed:
"Master Jiang, I have another question.
Do you have a map of the Xu family's house? And have you ever been to the mountain behind them?
Jiang Wenhao smiled, but the smile did not reach his eyes:
“I have never been inside the Xu family’s house.
He actually asked you to inquire about this, isn't he trying to get a piece of the pie with the Song family?"
At this point, Jiang Wenhao's eyes were filled with sarcasm:
“He may not be very old, but he has big ambitions.
Do you believe that if the He family gets involved with the Song family, the He family will eventually be swallowed up by the Xu family?"
Uncle He was stunned and shook his head, "Our master doesn't have such an idea."
There was a hint of disapproval in his eyes.
Lord Jiang really is praising the Xu family. Although the He family is not as powerful as the Song family, it is not an ordinary small family. It is absolutely impossible for the Xu family to swallow up the He family.
"I don't care whether there is one or not." Jiang Wenhao said indifferently:
"I have already given you the advice I should give you.
Believe it or not is up to you. If you don’t have the ability, don’t covet things that don’t belong to you.
Go out, I need to rest."
Uncle He didn't expect that he would be chased away directly. He pursed his lips, stood up and walked outside.
But when he walked out of Jiang Wenhao's room and helped him close the door, he looked up and saw He Minhao leaning against the door frame, staring at him coldly.
Uncle He was startled and was about to speak, but He Minhao didn't even look at him, turned and walked into the room, and closed the door directly.
Uncle He smiled bitterly.
He now feels like he is neither here nor there.
Lord Jiang is giving me a bad face, and now the young master doesn't like me either.
What is he doing?
After taking a deep breath, Uncle He turned and walked towards his room.
How can I know what the head of the family wants to do or what his plans are, since I am not a member of his family?
But there is one thing: he must do well what the head of the family orders him to do.
Jiang Wenhao in the house continued to drink his tea slowly until he heard the footsteps of Uncle He leaving outside the door. Then he looked sarcastic.
The He family became greedy, probably because the Song family promised him some benefits.
The biggest benefit is to swallow up the Xu family together with the Song family and divide everything of the Xu family equally.
Idiot, you have a brain disease.
If the Xu family was so easy to be swallowed up, Song Yi would not have suffered such a big setback before, and Baihutang would not have hit a wall.
The Song family was clearly using the He family as a test, yet he was still foolishly rushing forward.
It seems that the position of the head of the He family should be replaced.
Jiang Wenhao placed the teacup in his hand on the table with a grim expression.
Thinking of the letter he received yesterday, he took a deep breath.
Originally, he wanted to sit on the wall and watch the Song and Xu families fight each other, and then consume them internally.
But unfortunately, he didn't have time to wait for them to fight.
With their method of testing each other, it would take two to three years to determine the result, which coincided with his original plan.
But now things have changed.
A hint of decision flashed in Jiang Wenhao's eyes.
Since the He family chose to cooperate with the Song family, don't blame me for taking advantage of them.
Jiang Wenhao touched the teacup and slowly thought about how to use the He family to seriously damage the Xu family.
It is impossible for him to destroy the Xu family now. All he can do now is to try his best to severely damage the Xu family.
And there is the Han family.
The Han family would not suddenly disappear.
Their sudden disappearance must have been due to some agreement they had reached with the Xu family.
The most likely thing is that Shen Qingyun betrayed himself.
Madam Xu must have known something about me and was just waiting to give me a fatal blow.
There were also changes in the capital, and he didn't have time to delay any longer.
Jiang Wenhao pursed his lips.
