Chapter 193 Who is more important, him or the money?
There is black tea 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. Honey was added to the tea, making it slightly sweet.
The 20,000 taels of silver paid in advance not only paid back the money, but also brought a large profit. Jiang Yuzhu was in a good mood and praised: "Good tea!"
Xie Zhao lowered his eyes in deep thought, his slender fingers tightened the teacup, and he said slowly: "Madam, compared to my husband and silver..."
Jiang Yuzhu loves money like her life, as long as the price is reasonable, even Xie Zhao himself can be taken out for a trade.
For a moment, Xie Zhao felt frustrated. Who was more important, him or the money?
The deal with Sanniang was just a temporary solution. Was Jiang Yuzhu sincere in her decision?
No matter what, as long as she coaxes him, Xie Zhao will firmly believe it.
Jiang Yuzhu poured a cup of tea, her eyes flickering slightly.
She was careful not to spill the tea.
Jiang Yuzhu knew that even 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 at high interest, it will be troublesome and immoral. How can it be as satisfying 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 not do anything that would kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
What is more important is now clear before us.
"Yuanhe, you are too self-deprecating."
Jiang Yuzhu held her heart with her hands, looking extremely sad, "Did I do something wrong that caused you to misunderstand?"
Xie Zhao became famous at a young age, he was elegant and graceful, and extremely noble.
Not even thirty years old, 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 lost family affection may never come back."
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 backyard. You just need to use your energy to benefit the people."
She is in charge of the money, but who is she doing this for? After all, it is such a large sum that Jiang Yuzhu cannot spend it all by herself.
After she finished speaking, Jiang Yuzhu's eyes were red. She lied so sincerely that she was moved first.
Xie Zhao was quite moved after hearing this. He tightened his grip on the teacup and said guiltily, "Yuzhu, I am too concerned and narrow-minded. I am not as clear-minded as a woman."
Jiang Yuzhu paused while wiping her tears with a handkerchief, stared at Xie Zhao and said grimly: "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 shrewd 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 servants 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 the crime.
"That barbarian is a wimp. He looks big and strong, but he confessed everything before we could even torture him."
The barbarian was sent to protect Sanniang. This time he came to Yongning Town only to trade with Master Mi and buy 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 the verified news is like arresting someone without any gain.
"I know I was wrong."
Feeling the sharp light flashing in the master's eyes, the subordinate hurriedly prostrated himself on the ground and sincerely admitted his mistake.
Knowing they were incompetent, they gathered together to discuss and decided to report to Jiang Yuzhu.
In the past, I would have been punished for this, but fortunately, the lady is here and the master always shows some mercy.
"stand up."
Xie Zhao curled his lips and smiled lightly, 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 want to get up, but my legs are cramped."
The subordinates groaned in their hearts, thinking 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 do things poorly, he won't mind."
Given Sanniang's personality, the chances of not being able to get the answer are very high, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to get that position.
"Yes, Master is easy-going."
His men assured him that this was the most outrageous lie he had ever said.
Xie Zhao waved his hands 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 never thought that I would be pecked in the eye by a goose after hunting geese all day. I didn't get a single moment of love with my fifty thousand taels of silver, and I even got myself into trouble!"
Sanniang laughed loudly, 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 strong character that is no less than that of a man. Do you think I will confess if you torture me? You are really underestimating me!"
Sanniang's body is different from that of ordinary people and she is naturally incapable of feeling pain.
Even if she was injured and bleeding, or had broken arms and legs, Sanniang felt no pain.
Torture was of no pain to her and had no effect at all.
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. Just as she was about to bite the poison sac hidden in her teeth, Xie Zhao's men got there first and removed her jaw.
Jiang Yuzhu watched for a moment and sighed, "He is a loyal man."
"Yuanhe, I have a solution."
Since pain can't cure Sanniang, she will use psychological tactics to stimulate her.
Jiang Yuzhu thought of an idea and sent someone to bring a piece of black cloth to cover Sanniang's eyes.
Sanniang struggled and said, "What do you mean by this? Don't think that I will 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.
