Chapter 126: Collaboration Collapses
The next morning.
A low-key carriage set off from the Marquis of Jinping's Mansion.
All the way to this secluded and remote courtyard.
Led by his servants, he came into the courtyard.
I saw someone lying on the ground.
He raised his hand.
The servant immediately stepped forward and turned the person lying on the ground over.
The face of a middle-aged man was revealed.
Marquis Jinping looked at the traveler's face with a frown on his face.
"Are you sure he is Jing Mingshan?" asked Jin Pinghou uncertainly.
He hasn't seen Jing Mingshan for several years.
The man did look very much like Jing Mingshan, but he inexplicably suspected that Jing Mingshan should not look like this when he was old.
"Are you sure you didn't catch the wrong person?"
"Master, we caught the man at the inn and room number that the prince mentioned. There shouldn't be any problems."
Only then did Marquis Jinping dispel his doubts.
Then he asked, "Have you found out the source of the prince's information?"
"After an overnight investigation, it was discovered that the person the prince had sent to follow was Wen Yan, the second young lady of the Wen family."
It took Marquis Jinping a moment to react before he remembered who the second young lady of the Wen family was.
His brows were furrowed.
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind. Finally, he asked expressionlessly, "Has the second young lady of the Wen family made any unusual moves?"
"Wen Yan and the eldest daughter of the Meng family went to a clothing store."
"You went there so early in the morning? Why are you involved with the General's Mansion?"
"yes."
Marquis Jinping's eyes were gloomy.
Since Jing Mingshan returned to Beijing with Wen Yan, it means that the two sides have been involved with each other for a long time.
The new owner of the Jing family might have been brought together by Wen Yan.
"Let's go and see the second young lady of the Wen family."
Marquis Jinping turned and left.
Tianyi Cloth Shop.
After Wen Yan and Meng Chifei arrived, they first counted the accounts.
The cloth shop had recently added many new styles and had been promoting them to boost sales. In just ten days, it had made nearly seven thousand taels of silver.
It’s equivalent to the shop’s annual income.
Meng Chifei held his cheeks, his eyes full of stars. "Fortunately, Yanyan, you had the foresight to let the Cloth Shop prepare in advance, otherwise my family would not know where the monthly salary for next month would come from."
Wen Yan pursed her lips and chuckled. Just as she was about to tease him, she saw a carriage slowly stop in front of the shop.
The curtain opened.
A middle-aged man with a pale face and no beard came out.
Behind him, there was a guard with a sword.
When Meng Chifei saw the guard, she lifted her skirt and knelt down to salute.
Wen Yan picked her up.
If he kneels down now, won’t his identity be exposed?
On the second floor of the restaurant opposite.
Marquis Jin Ping looked at the door of Tianyi Cloth Shop with an expressionless face.
"Keep a close eye on her. Report to me whoever she meets."
If we keep a close eye on Wen Yan, we might be able to find out who is behind it.
Then he could prescribe the right remedy and ruin their cooperation.
Marquis Jinping gave some instructions and prepared to leave.
Just then, a carriage stopped at the door of the cloth shop.
The carriage looked ordinary.
At first he didn't care.
Until the people in the carriage got off.
He suddenly stopped walking away.
Judging from the man's posture and movements, he seemed to be a eunuch in the palace.
He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
Is this father-in-law here to purchase fabric?
Or the Jing family's new backer? !
Those fake men who have been eradicated are all villains who curry favor with the powerful and look down on the weak.
They are both easy and difficult to deal with.
However, as long as you grasp the vital point, killing the person directly is not a problem.
Think of this.
The heavy mood of Marquis Jinping suddenly relaxed a lot.
However.
His relaxed mood didn't last for a moment before he saw the sword-wielding guards following behind his eunuch.
That profile...
No... isn't it the emperor!
His head was buzzing, but he was also 100% certain that the Jing family's new backer was the emperor.
If they reach a cooperation by seeking support from the emperor, the Jing family’s purse will be completely lost.
Fortunately, I had the foresight to make arrangements in advance.
Jing Mingshan was tied up.
Their plan was doomed to fail.
About an hour passed.
Only then did Marquis Jinping see that Wen Yan and Meng Chifei brought the emperor out.
The emperor frowned slightly, looking as if he was trying his best to be patient.
It seems that it really did not succeed.
A smug smile appeared on the face of Marquis Jinping.
but……
This time, thanks to Yaoxing's advance warning, I was able to stop their conspiracy in time.
After more than ten years, this eldest son finally made him satisfied.
Deserve the reward!
As for the traitor Jing Mingmei, his face suddenly turned gloomy.
He ordered his men, "Go, bring Concubine Mei back to the capital."
How dare he have second thoughts about him? Jing Mingmei felt that her son had grown up and had grown stronger, right?
**
After seeing the emperor off, Wen Yan patted his chest and breathed a sigh of relief.
Looking at the busy streets, Wen Yan thought of what had just happened in the private room.
She knew that she and Meng Chifei were being targeted.
The person staring at him was most likely Huo Yaoxing.
Huo Yaoxing is narrow-minded and vicious.
Once they find themselves trying to trip them up, they will resort to the most vicious means.
She couldn't allow herself to be passive.
She had to think about whether there was any big event recently that she could use to leverage the situation!
She was not angry, but smiled softly.
After making sure that there was nothing else to do in the cloth shop, Wen Yan and Meng Chifei went to "A Little Ink" again.
A new shopkeeper from the Meng family was transferred, and Wen Yan arranged for Su He to learn from the shopkeeper.
Wen Yan looked at Xiao Wu, who was sweating profusely from moving goods, and stepped forward to encourage him, "Learn well from the shopkeeper. We'll need you when we open a branch store in the future."
When Xiao Wu heard that Yan wanted to promote him, he immediately became very motivated: "Little Boss, don't worry, I will do my best."
'A Little Ink' is already on the right track, coupled with the publicity gained through the 'auction'.
The reputation of "Yidianmo" for its high quality and low price is well known to everyone.
With the support of the Emperor and the General's Mansion, the transcripts of the reading notes will be put online one after another.
As long as the quality is guaranteed, Yi Dian Mo's business will be good.
Wen Yan no longer needs to keep an eye on "A Little Ink" personally.
She wanted to go back to the countryside to recuperate.
While walking in the yard after dinner, Wen Yan talked about this with Meng Chifei: "I have been so busy recently that I am almost drained."
Meng Chifei immediately expressed his desire to go with them.
Aunt Ya immediately frowned.
Wen Yan has developed bad habits since she married into the countryside.
As a result, even the eldest daughter of the family was led astray.
She had a lot of complaints about Wen Yan, but she held back her words of advice to Meng Chifei.
With Wen Yan present, no matter what I said, it was useless.
Only by separating the two of them and saying some sweet words will the young lady listen.
Wen Yan took in Nanny Ya's expression.
It seems that I have to buy a property in Beijing as soon as possible.
Next time I go to Beijing, it will not be appropriate to live in the general's mansion.
She suddenly asked another question: "What day is it today?"
The maid beside her quickly replied, "Miss Wen Yan, today is April 27th."
"The Dragon Boat Festival is only eight days away."
"What's wrong? Are you preparing delicious food for the Dragon Boat Festival?" Meng Chifei immediately thought of Wen Yanbao's honey-filled and salted egg dumplings.
One is soft and sweet, the other is soft and salty, she likes them both.
Wen Yan shook her head: "No. Is the Thai palace going to hold a Dragon Boat Festival banquet this year? Have you received an invitation?"
It was only a matter of time before she came into conflict with Huo Yaoxing.
Having only the Meng family as a backer is far from enough.
She wants to gain more bargaining chips for herself.
The Dragon Boat Festival Banquet at the Thai Palace is a great opportunity!
