Black tea is brewed in the glass teacup, with a few golden osmanthus flowers floating on top. It is brewed with special mountain spring water and the tea soup is clear.
Jiang Yuzhu took a sip. The tea had honey in it, giving it a slightly sweet taste.
The 20,000 taels of silver she had advanced not only paid back her investment but also brought in a substantial profit. Jiang Yuzhu happily praised, "Great tea!"
Xie Zhao lowered his eyes in thought, his slender fingers tightening the teacup, and he said slowly: "Madam, compared to my husband and silver..."
Jiang Yuzhu loves money like her life, and as long as the price is reasonable, even Xie Zhao himself can be taken out for a trade.
For a moment, Xie Zhao felt upset. Who was more important, him or the money?
The deal with Sanniang was just a temporary solution. Jiang Yuzhu wasn't sincere, was she?
No matter what, as long as she coaxes him, Xie Zhao will firmly believe it.
Jiang Yuzhu poured a cup of tea, her eyes flashing slightly.
She was careful not to spill the tea.
Jiang Yuzhu knew that if Xie Zhao didn't show anything at the time, he would definitely hold on to it afterwards.
Between Xie Zhao and fifty thousand taels, of course Xie Zhao is more important, is there any doubt about that?
Fifty thousand taels of silver is dead money. Even if you lend it out for interest, it will be troublesome and immoral. How can it be as comfortable as robbing bandits?
Xie Zhao is the goose that lays golden eggs. With him around, there is a steady stream of money coming in and an indestructible backer.
Jiang Yuzhu is a far-sighted person and would never do anything that would kill the chicken to get the eggs.
What is more important is clear before us.
"Yuanhe, you are too self-deprecating."
Jiang Yuzhu held her heart with her hands, her face extremely sad. "Did I do something inappropriate that caused you to misunderstand?"
Xie Zhao became famous at a young age, and was extremely noble and elegant.
Before he turned thirty, he was already a powerful official in the court and the emperor's confidant.
Such an extraordinary person is actually compared with money. This is the greatest insult to Xie Zhao!
"Yuanhe, you are my husband. Although I, Jiang Yuzhu, love money, I love my family more. After all, money can be earned back, but the lost family affection may never be regained."
Jiang Yuzhu controls all of Xie Zhao's properties with good intentions.
"Yuanhe, I am willing to be a good wife and help you take care of the harem. You can just use your energy to benefit the people."
She was in charge of the money, but who was she doing this for? After all, it was such a large sum that Jiang Yuzhu couldn't spend it all by herself.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were red. She lied with such sincerity that she was moved first.
Xie Zhao was quite moved after hearing this. He tightened his grip on the teacup and said guiltily, "Yuzhu, it's because I care too much that I seem narrow-minded. I'm not as clear-minded as a woman."
Jiang Yuzhu paused wiping her tears with a handkerchief, stared at Xie Zhao and said sinisterly, "Why, do you look down on women?"
As long as Xie Zhao dared to look down on women, Jiang Yuzhu would immediately write a letter to complain, because she had the support of her mother-in-law, Shen!
"This...this is not what I meant."
Xie Zhao closed his eyes and sighed helplessly.
All his clever calculations vanished in front of Jiang Yuzhu. She took the lead every time, as if he was trapped in a dense net, struggling in vain.
What else can I do except pamper her?
Pamper him, pamper him to the sky, he will stand below and take it.
While the couple was talking, their servant came to report.
"Master, Madam, the bandits in Longhu Mountain would rather die than surrender. Dozens of them chose to jump off the cliff. Our people are searching below the cliff and have captured Sanniang and a barbarian alive..."
Our side sent people to torture her severely, but Sanniang was a stubborn person and refused to give in, and was determined not to reveal the identity of the person behind it.
"That barbarian is a wimp. He looks big and strong, but before we could torture him, he confessed everything."
The barbarian was sent to protect Sanniang. This time he came to Yongning Town only to trade with Mr. Mi and purchase food and fodder as military supplies for the barbarian soldiers.
"That's all?"
Xie Zhao played with the teacup in his hand, his voice lukewarm.
To repeat verified news is like arresting someone without any gain.
"I admit my mistake."
Feeling the sharp light flashing in the master's eyes, the subordinates hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground and sincerely admitted their mistakes.
Knowing they were incompetent, they gathered together to discuss and chose to report to Jiang Yuzhu.
In the past, such things would inevitably result in punishment, but fortunately, the lady is here and the master always shows some mercy.
"stand up."
Xie Zhao curled his lips and smiled faintly, seemingly not caring about anything. However, if you look closely, you can detect a subtle sharpness between his eyebrows.
The men trembled with fear and maintained one position.
Xie Zhao raised his eyebrows and raised his voice slightly: "Get up!"
"I also want to get up, but my legs are cramping."
The subordinates groaned in their hearts, thinking that the situation was not good.
Seeing this, Jiang Yuzhu kindly supported Xie Zhao's men and said, "My husband is an easygoing person. Even if you don't do your job well, he won't mind."
Given Sanniang's personality, the chances of not being able to get the answer are very high, otherwise she would not have been able to get that position.
"Yes, Master is easy-going."
My subordinates assured me that this was the most outrageous nonsense he had ever said.
Xie Zhao waved his hand and finally decided to let it go for now, otherwise these cunning people might tell his wife everything and tarnish his image.
At least for now, Xie Zhao is a man of high moral character in Jiang Yuzhu's heart.
Sanniang was locked up in a remote woodshed in the backyard of the Mi family, with iron chains tied all over her body.
Seeing Xie Zhao enter the room, Sanniang sneered and spat, "I can't believe it! I spent all day hunting geese and ended up getting my eye pecked by a goose. I spent fifty thousand taels of silver and not only didn't get a single moment of love, I even got myself into trouble!"
Sanniang laughed out loud, never expecting that she would be tricked by the pockmarked man in the end.
It really is true that you can’t judge a book by its cover!
"I make a living by having a tough mind that's no less strong than any man. Do you think you'll confess by torturing me? You're really underestimating me!"
Sanniang's body is different from that of ordinary people and she is born with a natural lack of sense of pain.
Even if she was injured and bleeding, or had broken arms and legs, Sanniang could not feel the pain.
Torture had no effect on her and was of no use to her.
It was because of this that Sanniang passed through layers of selection and eventually became the confidant of her master.
"Are you Xie Zhao's men? You are nothing but running dogs of Xiao She. One day, all the land will belong to my master!"
Sanniang's eyes were bloodshot and she was talking nonsense. She was about to bite the poison sac hidden in her teeth, but Xie Zhao's men took the lead and removed her jaw.
Jiang Yuzhu watched for a moment and sighed, "He's quite loyal."
"Yuanhe, I have a solution."
Since pain can't cure Sanniang, use psychological tactics to stimulate her.
Jiang Yuzhu thought of a way and sent someone to bring a piece of black cloth to cover Sanniang's eyes.
Sanniang struggled, "What do you mean? Don't think I'll confess just by threatening you..."
It was dark in the woodshed, and Sanniang's vision was blocked, plunging her into darkness. She was already beginning to feel vaguely uneasy.
Then she felt something scratch her wrist and heard the sound of blood dripping.
"What on earth are you going to do?"
Sanniang lost her composure and screamed in a shrill voice.
