Chapter 85: I will propose marriage after Zhizhi gets the divorce letter
Jiang Wanning glared at him and cursed him.
"You are the one who should get out!"
Shen Yu'an had been beaten many times today, but none of them were as severe as this slap. His ears were buzzing and he even suspected that his mother wanted to beat him to death.
If his mother was just venting her anger on Zhizhi's behalf, he would accept it.
But now, his mother was protecting an unrelated outsider, which made him feel very sad.
"Mother, you hit me... for an outsider?"
Hearing the confusion and complaint in Shen Yu'an's tone, Jiang Wanning curled his lips and didn't think there was anything wrong with the way he hit her.
"Didn't you hear that young man just now say he was here to offer advice? If you had the talent and could come up with a way to make a fortune, I wouldn't have to waste my energy on this! You're still complaining about being wronged. Have you paid back the thirty-eight taels of silver you owe Zhizhi?"
Blocking someone's financial path is like killing their parents!
It was good that she didn't kick him again.
Shen Yu'an's face froze. He was about to open his mouth to argue, but when he heard the last few words, he immediately lost his momentum.
"I……"
Jiang Wanning curled his lips in disdain, walked up and brushed him away.
"I knew you had no money, get out of the way!"
Shen Yu'an must have been so angry just now that he didn't know how to control his actions and pushed the man into the bushes nearby.
Seeing the other person brushing off the dead grass and dust on his body and getting up, Jiang Wanning quickly put on a smiling expression and walked forward to greet him.
"Sir, did you fall?"
"Madam Hou, there's no need to be so polite. My name is Xiao Huaiyu, and you can call me Xiao Er."
Seeing Jiang Wanning approaching, the man in gorgeous clothes immediately stood up straight, straightened his clothes, and bowed to her.
After saying that, he did not forget to raise his hand to smooth a strand of hair on his temples.
It can be seen that he is a person who attaches great importance to appearance.
"It turned out to be Prince Xiao."
Jiang Wanning nodded.
She didn't remember this character in the original text.
However, this dandy prince of the Ningguo Duke Xiao's mansion is well-known in the imperial capital.
Because of his rather unorthodox way of doing things, he is known as a troublemaker among the children of aristocratic families.
Noble ladies would often avoid him when they saw him, but he was handsome and charming, with an eye-catching good looks, and he was the focus of attention wherever he went.
Seeing him, Jiang Wanning suddenly had a good idea.
"Madam Hou? Madam Hou?!"
Seeing that she was a little distracted, Xiao Huaiyu couldn't help but wave his hand in front of her, then lowered his voice slightly and said.
"Although I admit that I am handsome, but when you stare at me like this, Madam Hou, I will blush..."
"Cough! Cough cough!"
Song Zhizhi was choked by her own saliva, turned her head to the side, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and coughed several times.
Jiang Wanning came back to his senses, coughed fakely, and asked back.
"You just said there was some way... to make a fortune every day?"
When it came to business, Xiao Huaiyu put away his joking expression and spoke frankly.
"I shouldn't have gotten involved in this matter, but if I can help raise more money to help the victims, I'd like to contribute! Your Majesty has only given us a seven-day deadline. Raising two hundred thousand taels of silver in such a short time is probably not an easy task.
I heard there's a Wanbaozhai in the West Market that holds a treasure auction every fifteenth day of the lunar month. It's a great way to make money! It just so happens that I have some connections with the owner of Wanbaozhai. If the Marquis needs anything, I can introduce you two."
Jiang Wanning nodded slightly.
"That's indeed a good idea. I'll have to trouble Prince Xiao."
Xiao Huaiyu opened his folding fan and fanned it twice in a self-proclaimed and dashing manner.
"It's just a simple favor. If you need me, Madam, please let me know!"
Hearing this.
Jiang Wanning naturally wouldn't be polite to him.
She looked Xiao Huaiyu up and down, and the smile at the corner of her eyes deepened.
"There's something I need to ask Prince Xiao for help..."
Xiao Huaiyu raised his eyebrows slightly.
"What's up?"
Jiang Wanning waved to him gently.
"Come closer, I can only tell you this."
Xiao Huaiyu was a little frightened by her smile, and he could not help but cross his arms and took half a step back.
"Madam Hou, I know I am handsome and charming... but I still have moral integrity..."
Jiang Wanning: “???”
Damn it.
Could he please stop being so narcissistic? Doesn't she look like she's after his body?!
"Prince Xiao, you misunderstood. I just wanted to discuss the auction with you..."
"oh."
Xiao Huaiyu then took two steps forward and extended his ear.
Jiang Wanning lowered his voice and whispered a few words to him.
The expression on Xiao Huaiyu's handsome face changed again and again, and finally he curled the corners of his mouth and patted his chest to make a promise.
"Madam, you have a good eye. No one is suitable for this job. I am the most suitable! Don't worry, I will definitely lead her to Wanbaozhai and ask her to take out all her family assets..."
Jiang Wanning nodded with satisfaction.
"Prince Xiao is indeed very wise, he understands things immediately."
Xiao Huaiyu waved his fan and complimented each other.
"It's your good plan, Madam Hou..."
…
Shen Yan had just been stopped by the emperor and spoke for a while.
After finally getting rid of that annoying guy, he turned around and saw his wife chatting enthusiastically with a handsome young man.
His face turned green.
He walked quickly forward and saw Xiao Huaiyu saying goodbye to Jiang Wanning. He turned around with a smug look on his face and raised his hand to greet him.
"My Lord..."
"Prince Xiao, excuse me."
Chen Yan replied to him very coldly and then passed by.
"hiss--"
Xiao Huaiyu gasped, couldn't help but hold his feet, turned around and looked at Shen Yan who was walking away quickly... Did the Marquis step on his instep on purpose just now? !
It must be!
On the other side, Shen Yu'an was still harassing Song Zhizhi.
"Zhizhi, don't forget, you have my child in your belly! Can you bear to let him be born without seeing his father?"
"child?"
Song Zhizhi sneered. Her mother-in-law had already told her about this when she left the banquet just now.
She was very glad that she had not yet gotten pregnant with this child.
But she wasn't going to deny it either.
He just looked at Shen Yu'an coldly and spoke word by word.
"Shen Yu'an, you're not worthy of being a father! If you keep pestering me and threaten me with the child... humph, I'll go back and drink safflower and abort him!"
"No, no, no! Zhizhi, don't be impulsive... I, I won't pester you..."
Shen Yu'an quickly let go.
I was afraid that she would get angry and take it out on the child.
Song Zhizhi ignored him, gathered her cloak and walked to Jiang Wanning's side, thinking that once she got the divorce letter, she would have to beat this "child" even if she didn't want to.
Shen Yu'an still wants to be a father?
Dream on!
After watching Song Zhizhi and Jiang Wanning walk away for a while, Shen Yu'an stood there in a daze for a moment, still wanting to continue following behind.
Just as he was about to take a step, Xiao Huaiyu raised his hand to stop him.
Shen Yu'an frowned slightly and looked at him.
"What are you going to do?"
Xiao Huaiyu changed his previous weak tone, leaned close to his ear and spoke provocatively.
"I was just watching Zhizhi playing polo, and I was wondering what kind of luck you had to marry a bright and flamboyant woman like Zhizhi... But I don't envy you.
Once Zhizhi gets the divorce letter, I will go and propose marriage.
From now on, your wife is mine, and your child is mine too!"
