Chapter 79 A Full Bowl
Just as night fell, you could still faintly hear the noise from the market not far away.
Xueqing stood guard at the door, listening to the conversation in the room, her heart beating faster and faster. How serious was the situation that made the eldest son risk his life to come to Bian Jing?
Although the Shangguan family obeyed the Guan family's wishes at the beginning, the Guan family felt guilty towards the Shangguan family, but they also talked to the Shangguan family.
If the world finds out that someone from the Shangguan family is still alive, the Shangguan family will be responsible for all the consequences.
If you stay in one place peacefully, you will be cared for and protected by the government and its descendants.
In the room.
Shangguan Yao couldn't help but feel like she had a backer when her brother Shangguan Jing appeared. Although Qin Junyi was also very good to her, it was different after all.
"Brother, I thought it would take you two days to get here. How come you've just arrived at Wanmiao Village and you're..." Shangguan Yao's eyes were red. "Could it be that you've already been in Bianjing?"
Shangguan Jing and Shangguan Yao were three or four points similar, with an imposing and heroic air. At this moment, his eyes were stern, and he said: "Father asked you and Qin Junyi to go to the battle first, and then go to Longxi. Why didn't you listen to father? Do you know that father disturbed His Majesty for you? When father left Bianjing, he promised His Majesty that he would never disturb His Majesty in his lifetime..."
Shangguan Yao burst into tears. "But in the end, the emperor didn't send Junyi to the war. Instead, he sent Xie Yi from the Xie family. And he had just gotten married, so he had no choice but to stay in Bianjing."
"The emperor naturally has to consider his overall interests first." Shangguan Yao's tone was not very good. "Even if Qin Junyi didn't go to the war, there are still many ways to leave Bianjing, and it would also allow him to be with you legitimately. Why don't you obey?"
"Brother!" Shangguan Yao stood up and said, "But the title of Marquis Yongyi should have been his in the future. I'm pregnant now, so why should I give it to someone else? Our Shangguan family has been shameful for generations. I don't want to miss this opportunity. From now on, the bloodline of the Marquis Yongyi will only flow from our Shangguan family."
"We can use the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion to allow your descendants and grandchildren to reappear in Bianjing. Why not?"
Shangguan Jing was surprised that his sister, whom he hadn't seen for a year, looked like two completely different people. He was silent for a moment and said, "The world of fame and fortune is not as simple as you think."
"How complicated can it be?" Shangguan Yao questioned.
Shangguan Jing didn't want to argue about this. He couldn't change anything at this point, so he softened his tone and asked, "Is this Wanmiao Village also owned by the Xie family?"
"Yes." Shangguan Yao sat down again after seeing this: "It's quite unexpected, isn't it?"
Shangguan Jing pulled a palm-sized piece of parchment from his sleeve. On it was a simple bird with its feet resting on a crescent moon. He placed it on the table and said, "This totem bears some resemblance to the Xie family's business logo, but I compared it with the logos of all the businesses under the Xie family's name. They have the same two-tailed bird, but without the crescent moon."
"Is this the mark of the people tracking down our Shangguan family?" Shangguan Yao picked up the parchment.
"Those people relied on this picture to communicate." Shangguan Jing looked at the expression on Shangguan Yao's face and immediately knew what she was thinking. He said, "Don't think about it. This is just my rough drawing. The real picture is so lifelike that it is impossible to copy it."
Shangguan Yao's face froze. "Since it's different from the Xie family's totem, how come brother thinks it's the Xie family?"
"Although those people in Longxi didn't gather at the shop under the name of the Xie family, after observing for half a month, I found that one of them was from Chen County. After further investigation, I found that he was the second-in-command of the Xie family in Chen County."
Shangguan Jing was afraid that Shangguan Yao didn't understand, so he added, "That's Xie Jing's brother from the Ministry of War, Xie Lin."
Shangguan Yao's expression changed: "Since it's the Xie family, then tell the emperor directly. I think the emperor doesn't want the Shangguan family to be discovered."
"My father and I initially thought the same thing as you did. After all, if this matter were discovered, it would have a more than a small impact on the Emperor's family. But later we learned that the Emperor was prioritizing the Xie family. Coupled with the Xie family's financial resources, the Emperor has always been able to manipulate people's hearts and minds, and he would definitely not give up the Xie family, this cash cow."
Shangguan Yao disagreed with her brother's opinion and said, "Although the Xie family is a cash cow, it is not in the hands of the government. If the source of the Xie family's income was in the hands of the government, wouldn't the government feel more at ease?"
Shangguan Jing stared at Shangguan Yao without blinking, his eyes deepening.

Wanmiao Village, in the courtyard next to the warehouse.
Jiang looked at the silver note on the table that 'belonged' to her from last year's Wanmiao Village profits. Although her face was calm, her heart was turbulent. From now on, Wanmiao Village would be her cash cow. Wouldn't Qin Shiyuan and that bitch have to kneel down and make a living at her hands?
"Manager Jiang, this is your share." Wu Dawei smiled and pushed the last banknote in front of Jiang. "I hope you can return to Bianjing tomorrow and have a good talk with the boss, and hand over last year's profits to him."
Jiang smiled faintly, "Since you and I have already signed, I will naturally have a good talk with the boss. It's not easy for anyone, and I think the boss will be sympathetic."
"Manager Jiang is still sensible." Wu Dawei felt a lot more relieved. As long as he could stabilize the manager sent by the boss, most of the income of Wanmiao Village would definitely fall into their hands in the future.
Thinking of this, Wu Dawei stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'll go back first. This room will belong to Manager Jiang from now on. Wanmiao Village will need you and me to take good care of it in the future."
Jiang stood up to see him off and echoed, "We still need more guidance from Manager Wu."
"Manager Jiang, please don't see me off. It's getting late. Go to bed early." Wu Dawei said politely after walking out of the room.
Jiang nodded.
After Wu Dawei left, Mother Yuan closed the door and bolted it.
"A full fifty thousand taels of silver." Mother Yuan held the silver on the table, her hands trembling slightly. "This is all that fell into your hands, Madam. I wonder how much you'll earn in a whole year."
Jiang's eyes were filled with joy, and he said, "Hurry up and pack it up."
Mother Yuan let out a sigh and immediately put the banknotes into the brocade box.
In this world, apart from fame and fortune, money is the only thing that can make people happy.
Whenever Jiang thought about filling the hole in the Yongyi Marquis' Mansion soon, her whole body felt relaxed, and her son's back was no longer bent by the hole.
Just then, there was a knock on the door.
It was a voice that Mrs. Jiang and Mother Yuan did not expect.
Cuizhi: "Madam, are you here?"
Mother Yuan immediately opened the door and saw Cuizhi. Her expression changed slightly. Thinking that Cuizhi would not be here at this time, she asked, "Why are you here?"
"The young marquis told the young mistress that the entire family of the Duke of Yingguo's mansion was massacred, and the young mistress didn't want to stay in Bianjing, so she wanted to come to the young mistress's manor." Cuizhi said clearly, "The young mistress arranged for the young mistress to come to the Zilan Garden in Wanmiao Village. Thinking that you were in Wanmiao Village, she asked me to come and tell you that the young mistress had come to Wanmiao Village."
"What?" Yuan's mother exclaimed, "The entire Duke of Ying's family was massacred?"
Jiang also exclaimed, "Did Xie Rongying 'arrange' Shangguan Yao to come to Wanmiao Village?"
Xie Rongying is still alive! ?
