Chapter 128: Misappropriation of Disaster Relief Funds
Jing Mingmei's words drove Jia crazy.
She pointed at Jing Mingmei: "You...you...how dare you covet my position as mistress..."
Jing Mingmei glanced at her with disdain: "If your family wasn't so powerful back then, do you think you could become a marquis' wife?"
Jing Mingmei suddenly stood on tiptoe, put her arms around Jin Pinghou's neck, and kissed him on the sagging face, saying provocatively, "The master is mine, and the position of mistress will be mine sooner or later.
Jia, sooner or later you will kneel at my feet."
Jing Mingmei's arrogant look made her even more gorgeous and eye-catching.
"You...you..." Jia was so angry that she was gasping for breath and her vision went dark.
Marquis Jinping was very pleased.
As a woman, you should be jealous for yourself!
He didn't show it on his face, but he thought in his heart: Anyway, the alliance between the Jing family and the emperor has been destroyed by me, so I will take a closer look to see whether Jing Mingmei is really in love with me, or wants to find another better partner!
Jing Mingmei saw the amused look on his face and knew that he was still doubting herself.
She deliberately half-hung on the Marquis of Jinping and swayed coquettishly: "Master, you still don't believe me? Don't you want the help my family can bring you?"
Marquis Jin Ping also took the opportunity to hug her and nodded at her nose lovingly: "How could I not believe you."
I would never believe it!
Jingjia is a businessman who is only interested in profit.
In order to achieve their goals, they will do anything and tell lies.
He only believed half of Jing Mingmei's words.
Her feelings for him were genuine, but clinging to the emperor's thighs was more about escaping his control than being jealous. Jing Mingmei, you're not being obedient!
The next day, in the courtyard of the Meng family on Yunan Street, Sun Rulan received Nanny Ya and her daughter.
When Nanny Ya saw Sun Rulan smiling and being polite to her, a servant, she became more and more satisfied with him as her son-in-law.
"It's all Wen Yan's fault. She didn't marry well, so she urged my daughter to run away to the countryside with her.
My young lady is also very simple-minded, and she was easily fooled by a few words." When Aunt Ya mentioned Wen Yan, her brows knitted together.
Sun Rulan already knows Wen Yan's true identity.
He originally wanted her to be his foot warmer, but she turned out to be a village woman who had lost her virginity.
He also frequently tripped him up.
A gloomy look flashed across Sun Rulan's eyes, but he said in a high-sounding manner, "I'm sorry for being so abrupt. I'll wait until my aunt returns home, and then I'll come and ask for an audience!"
The more Meng Chifei resisted him, the more urgent he became. He had to force Meng Chifei to marry him before the general's wife returned to Beijing.
Wen Ruyue's plan came to mind again.
Originally, he felt that this method had too many loopholes and would easily make the General's Mansion suspicious of him.
Now, he can't care about so many things!
He smiled at Aunt Ya's daughter Hongchou and said, "Miss Hongying and Miss Chifei are of similar age, so they should have a good relationship..."
Seeing that he finally paid attention to her daughter, Nanny Ya immediately winked at Hongying.
Hongying stepped forward to add more tea for Sun Rulan.
When she handed the teacup over, her fingers scratched Sun Rulan's hand faintly.
Sun Rulan immediately apologized to Hongying with a panicked look on his face: "I am sorry for being rude and offending you, young lady. Please forgive me."
Seeing how fearful and apprehensive he was, Nanny Ya felt even more that he had good character.

Wen Yan is preparing to return to Songshan Village.
Wen Yan originally wanted Meng Chifei to stay in the capital.
There are still many small matters to deal with in disaster relief, and someone needs to keep an eye on this.
"Songshan Village is not far from the capital. If they have any problems, just ask them to come to me in the village." Meng Chifei pouted, aggrieved, "Sun Rulan has bad intentions. I feel uneasy if our engagement lasts one more day.
I want to get rid of him completely before my mother comes back."
Especially after knowing Aunt Ya's plan, she felt even more uncomfortable.
Although Meng Chifei is an excellent martial artist, he cannot defend himself against Sun Rulan's sinister tactics.
Wen Yan agreed to let her go back to the village together: "Sun Rulan probably has the same plan as you, and wants to get you before her stepmother returns to Beijing.
He is more anxious than us and will come to us on his own initiative.
We just need to remain constant in the face of change.”
The Dragon Boat Festival is approaching, and Wen Yan plans to purchase a batch of items needed for the festival before leaving Beijing.
The academy helped a lot in this auction, and she always wanted to express her gratitude during the festival.
Some should also be left as holiday gifts for the craftsmen in the ink-making workshop.
Wen Yan was very familiar with the capital and bought everything quickly.
He asked the waiter to carry a large bag of red beans onto the carriage and prepared to leave the city.
But he saw Wen Ruyue at the door of the jewelry shop Zhenbaozhai, diligently helping a woman into a sedan chair.
Who else could that woman be but Madam Xie from the second branch of the Lan family?
Wen Ruyue's ability to win people over is not very good. She has been fawning over Madam Xie for such a long time.
It seems that I have to help her myself!
Let them lock it up!
Wen Yan pulled Pei'er over, whispered something to her, and stuffed a purse into her hands.
Pearl nodded, turned and ran away.
Only after the sedan had gone far away did Wen Ruyue stop waving goodbye.
The eager smile on his face disappeared in an instant.
She turned around with an annoyed look on her face and met Wen Yan's eyes.
Wen Yan looked at her with a half-smile.
Wen Ruyue's expression froze, and then she glared at her fiercely.
Her eyes flashed, and she saw the full carriage behind Wen Yan. She rolled her eyes and deliberately said loudly: "Wen Yan, you are just a peasant woman. You can only eat wild vegetables for your meals. Where did you get the money to buy so many things? Did you embezzle the disaster relief funds?"
The disaster relief issue was a hot topic, and when people heard that someone had misappropriated the relief funds, they immediately gathered around.
Someone recognized Wen Yan: "Aren't you the female shopkeeper of 'A Little Ink'?"
"You said your family was poor, so how did you afford to buy so many things? You wouldn't really embezzle disaster relief funds, would you?"
"You are a very pretty girl, but how could you be so evil? You dared to embezzle the life-saving money of the disaster victims. Aren't you afraid that the starving victims will come to haunt you when you sleep at night?"
Everyone started talking one after another and soon began to surround Wen Yan.
Some people even questioned the Meng family.
Seeing everyone besieging Wen Yan,
Wen Ruyue smiled proudly, and felt extremely happy in her heart.
She originally thought that Miaobizhai's business would pick up after the auction.
Unexpectedly, after several days, business became increasingly slow.
If she doesn't discredit "A Little Ink", her Miao Bi Zhai may never recover!
As long as these people spread the news of misappropriating disaster relief funds, Yidian Mo will be finished!
However.
Wen Yan was not panicked at all.
Amidst the accusations from the crowd, she instead sighed slowly.
"Everyone listen to me, there is a misunderstanding here..." Wen Yan suddenly shouted loudly.
The voices of condemnation gradually died down. "Everyone, be quiet and let her speak! We want to see what you can come up with."
"If you can't give us a reasonable explanation, we will sue you at the Jingzhao government office!"
Everyone was so angry that they almost pointed at Wen Yan's nose and cursed.
