Chapter 343 344. What if it’s not a concubine?
Gu Wenheng felt pain in his waist and quickly reached out to hold her hand. Fortunately, he had sent all the girls away before, otherwise he would have lost his prestige at home.
Jin Qianqian, "She may not look pretty, but she has beautiful thoughts. If she wants to steal my money, I will make her lose everything."
Gu Wenheng held her in his arms and said, "She is just some unknown person, let's not bother with her.
Besides, she hasn't said anything yet, so we are not necessarily exaggerating her by making wild assumptions here."
Jin Qianqian just complained, "What she said makes sense. No matter what she wants to do, it's best not to provoke us."
"Aren't you afraid that the minister from the Huang Mansion will come forward?" Gu Wenheng teased her deliberately.
Jin Qianqian was silent for a while, "If it really comes to that, then it's not my choice, but yours."
Seeing that his young wife took it seriously and seemed to be thinking about the worst outcome, Gu Wenheng quickly expressed his determination, “If it really comes to that, I will fight them if I can beat them.
There is really no other way. At worst, I will resign from my post and follow you to find a place to live in seclusion. I hope you can live a carefree life as soon as possible."
Jin Qianqian snorted, "There are not many people with the surname Huang in this world. At most, they used some dirty tricks. And I don't believe that the entire Huang Mansion is so clean. I will have someone investigate."
Jin Qianqian and Gu Wenheng have not been sitting idle in the past few years. They have already trained a group of people and are still working on it.
Add to that the wealth he has accumulated, and if he hires someone to keep an eye on the Huang family, he will be able to uncover some of the dirt inside.
Gu Wenheng, "Please bear with it for a while. We can go out to serve for a few years. We are still too weak now and need a process of growth."
Jin Qianqian deeply agreed with this. In Shangjing, where high-ranking officials and marquises are common, it is definitely not as comfortable as being sent out to other places.

As soon as Huang Zhengyong arrived at the backyard, he immediately called his wife.
Huang Qian looked at his expression and knew that things would not go well today.
But thinking of the pleas from his good friend and daughter-in-law, he could only muster up the courage to say, "Second Master, have you had your meal? Do you want me to go to the kitchen..."
"What meal? I'm so angry. Go tell Xiao and the others that I've done my best to meet their needs. Let them handle it themselves from now on!"
If Huang Zhengyong had not accepted their generous gifts, he would not have spoken in this tone now. Moreover, he did make the trip for them, so if this matter did not work out, it cannot be blamed on him.
"Second Master, in fact, if this deal is successful, it will also be good for us." Huang Qianshi tried to persuade him, "Look, you are the only one working outside now, and the whole family depends on you.
Our Tonger has not made any progress since he passed the examination for the title of scholar. The last time he took the examination for the title of juren, didn’t the father-in-law say that those essays were not acceptable at all?”
In fact, Huang Qianshi was being euphemistic. When the old man saw it, he immediately swore.
"That kid won't make progress, what can we do?" Huang Zhengyong had been running around outside all day and was hungry, so he quickly stuffed some cakes into his mouth. "If it doesn't work out, let Dad find a job for that kid. I can't let him work hard outside while he stays at home and plays the role of a young master."
Huang Qianshi, "Second Master, do you really think this kind of life is good?"
"What? Are you looking down on me now?" Huang Zhengyong sneered, "I don't even look down on you. Your father has been a sixth-rank official for his entire life. What qualifications do you have to give orders here?"
Huang Qian swallowed her anger and silently said in her heart that it was all for her son.
"How dare I despise Second Master? It's just that we can still rely on father-in-law now, but in the future, my eldest brother and his wife will be in charge of the family, and they won't be as easy to talk to as my father-in-law and mother-in-law. Maybe they will separate us and our family will be nothing in Shangjing."
"Are you still worried that I will starve you? Don't worry, even if we split up, my mother won't treat us badly. Don't gossip about us behind our backs all day long."
Huang Qianshi, "Doesn't the Second Master want to find a favorable marriage for himself?"
"Oh, you're considering this now?" Huang Zhengyong sneered, "At that time, you insisted on having Xiao, without even thinking about what use she, the daughter of a mere county magistrate, could be. Not only could she not help your son, but we also had to spend a lot of effort to secure his small official position."
Huang Qianshi, "There are many noble ladies in the capital, but who is willing to marry our son?
Although Xiao's family background is not prominent, she brought in a large sum of dowry, which is at least a form of subsidy."
"Do whatever you want. Anyway, I don't want to be involved in the Xiao family's affairs anymore. It's always a thankless task."
"Don't you think that if Gu Wenheng can become Tong'er's brother-in-law, it will only benefit Tong'er in the future?
Think about it, he was born as a top scholar, his starting point was higher than others, and he was promoted three levels in such a short period of time, which means that this person has caught the emperor's eye. Can his official career be bad in the future?"
"I know all you said, but so what? Xiao's concubine is only a concubine in the backyard, not a proper relative. Could he use his power to plot against my son just for a concubine?"
Huang Zhengyong said this because this is how their family usually handles things.
Concubines are nothing more than toys. It’s okay to coax them and play with them from time to time, but how can I be sincere to them?
"What if it's not a concubine?"
"That's impossible. He has a wife and a son..." At this point, Huang Zhengyong fell silent, staring at his wife in disbelief.
"You are really brave. It is said that women are the most vicious. It is true." Huang Zhengyong looked at Huang Qianshi. "Is this your idea?"
Huang Qianshi trembled inwardly, "How is this possible? Second Master also knows that I am the least competitive person. I am listening to what my mother-in-law said now, just to find a way for our son in the future."
"Mother-in-law?" Huang Zhengyong relaxed. He really didn't want a poisonous snake lying next to him. "They have been in our house for such a long time. I remember she has a villa in Shangjing, right?"
The intention of driving people away was obvious, and Huang Qianshi did not dare to say anything. "I'll ask my sister-in-law to send someone to take a look. It seems that some of the walls over there are falling off, and it's time to repair them."
Huang Zhengyong waved his hands, "Just take care of these, but don't get involved in things that hurt people's lives, or else, not only will my mother be unhappy, but I will be the first one to not let you go."
“Look at what Second Master said, this matter has nothing to do with us. I just guessed their intentions from their words and actions.
Anyway, if this thing finally succeeds, it will only benefit us, not harm us, I will just wait and see what happens."
