Dressed as a villain's stepmother, I use spiritual springs to raise cubs

Xia Bai'an's head was full of black lines.

This Meng Ke is really looking for trouble.

She was about to ask to send the man away, but Mo Che walked in with his foot in the dirt, and his eyes fell on Meng Ke's body coldly.

"The Meng family, now they have to rely on Xia Bai'an and me."

"Old... lord?"

Meng Ke got up from the ground in shock, and hurriedly bowed to salute, "Master, what do you mean by what you said just now? Of course the Meng family may rely on you, but Madam is obviously just a..."

"What am I?" Xia Bai'an propped his face and looked at her meaningfully, "When you were arguing with Ying Hongxiu in the mansion, the Meng family could take the initiative to buy shares in Chenxiang Pavilion in our family to make money. As a concubine of the Meng family, you should Knowing that the Meng family has followed Taiwei Sun all these years to conquer the world, not only did they not earn much, but they also paid for it.”

Meng Ke's face turned pale: "That's not the turn of a small Chenxiang Pavilion..."

"What the Meng family wants is the waterway that I left behind when I contacted King An. The Meng family only wants a boat. I have agreed to help with this matter for Mo Che's sake." Xia Bai'an smiled confidently and gave up the seat to Mo Che passed Meng Ke, "I'm not someone who stands still."

After finishing speaking, she was already going to the yard to count the things outside.

Mo Che sat down Shi Shiran, without even looking at Meng Ke.

"Whatever she tells you, do it. Remember that although you will call yourself a concubine in the mansion in the future, you will actually be working as a helper. If you can't help, you won't give me food, housing and transportation."

Meng Ke hesitated to speak.

Meng Ke wanted to scold someone.

Why did the words in Mo Che's mouth sound like Xia Bai'an would say.

But she never expected that Xia Bai'an would be able to get to where she is today!

The Meng family didn't keep so much money at the beginning, it was to help Sun Taiwei win his current position, if their military general's family opened all the shops in the capital to make money, it would be bad, but if they manage the remaining shops well, Their family is really not good at it.

It can be said that Meng Jiakong has the right, but in terms of money, he has to follow Taiwei Sun to eat the rest.

But now that Sun Taiwei is in decline, they naturally have nothing to share, and naturally have no money, and even need help from others.

But, why is Xia Bai'an, a country bumpkin, filling this vacancy!

She doesn't believe it!

Meng Ke walked slowly to the seat next to him, and said while preparing to count these things.

"Master, I remember that my wife is the daughter of a landlord from the countryside."

"..." Mo Che remained silent.

"The landowners in the countryside seldom do business, and most of them are tenant farmers. But Mrs. He is so good at business, and she is so good at the capital's sophistication."

Meng Ke spoke cautiously, and kept looking at Mo Che's expression for a moment. Seeing that he hadn't spoken, he continued, "Master, has she ever thought about it, is she really just the daughter of the landlord's family?"

Respond to her.

It was Xia Bai'an's light words outside the door.

"It looks like a good thing, but it's empty inside. It's not suitable for marriage. I'd better ask someone to make a new one."

Xia Bai'an walked in while talking, never heard Meng Ke's words, but went straight to the table, leaned forward slightly, leaned over to look at the booklet in Mo Che's hand, saw a few red circles, and asked, "Why are these two people so confused?" Can't use a piece of gold? It looks auspicious to me."

"The meaning conflicts with other things, which is not good for the royal family."

"What about this?"

"The zodiac clashes."

"Oh."

Xia Bai'an nodded, and went back to get other brochures to see if there were any other problems.

At this very moment, Mo Che looked straight at Meng Ke: "Is it so important if she is the landlord's daughter?"

Looking into Mo Che's deep eyes, Meng Ke felt frustrated for the first time.

She clenched the corner of her clothes, vaguely confirming a result——

It is impossible for her to compete against Xia Bai'an.

Mo Che didn't intend to say any more intimate words to her, he just said: "Do things."

"Yes, sir."

Meng Ke lowered her head, countless emotions came to her heart, which made it hard for her to accept.

Whether it was Mo Che's outright rejection or dislike, she thought she had a chance before... But for some reason, just one sentence from Mo Che seemed to lightly cover up all her dreams.

Why...why doesn't this kind of thing matter?

Then what is so important to Mo Che and Xia Bai'an?

Xia Bai'an, who was busy outside the door, still didn't know anything about these things.

She just sorted out everything for Yunxue, and Wu Yue followed her in and out, making her even more uncomfortable.

"How can Yunxue and Hede make you spend so much effort?"

"Yun Xue is not worth it, but the entrustment of the Prime Minister's Mansion is worth my trouble and effort."

Xia Bai'an answered truthfully, smoothed the folds of Wu Yue's clothes with his fingertips, and continued, "Just get things done first."

Wu Yue pursed her lips: "Then Wang An still wants to talk to you about the waterway alone, what do you say?"

Xia Bai'an said: "You just said that the fifth prince and Yun Xue are going to get married, we are busy, and we can talk about the waterway after these things are over."

Wu Yue agreed, and quickly sent someone to inform him of the matter.

……

Prince An's Mansion.

Li Chen sat alone at the chess table, playing games with himself.

And Concubine An Xu Yingjun was working as a female celebrity not far away, raising her eyes from time to time to stare at Li Chen's handsome side face in a daze.

The arrival of Kang Heng broke the tranquility.

"Madam Xiaowei said that she is busy with the marriage in the prime minister's mansion recently, and the matter of the waterway has to be postponed."

From then on, Xu Yingjun's eyes swept over.

The chess piece in Li Chen's hand also fell heavily on the chessboard, he raised his eyes.

"She is self-willed. She clearly rented a boat from me before, as if she wanted to settle the matter, but now she is procrastinating. Could it be that the people from the Zhang family who improved the land are useless?"

"The subordinates don't know, but Mrs. Xiaowei presumably has her reasons for doing so."

Kang Heng spoke frankly.

He really couldn't understand Xia Bai'an's thoughts.

After Li Chen listened, he began to think seriously.

Xia Bai'an seems to be a complicated person, but in fact she does things quite concisely, hitting the nail on the head.

The most intuitive reason and obstacle for her slow refusal to agree to the matter of the waterway, and her refusing to meet with herself, should be Mo Che.

"She is just a school lieutenant's wife, and she has become arrogant in front of the prince."

Xu Yingjun suddenly made a sound at this time, impatiently put the embroidered handkerchief in his hand aside, and looked at Kang Heng coldly, "There are people who want our waterways, no more, no less, her wife's family."

Kang Heng was dumbfounded for a moment, and looked at Li Chen in embarrassment.

Li Chen frowned impatiently: "You don't know the cause and effect of the matter."

Xu Yingjun was even more wronged when she was said so.

"Why doesn't my concubine know cause and effect? ​​You are a high-ranking prince, she is just a country bumpkin, why should the prince tolerate her everywhere, if you want to do business, you should also ask her to come and kneel and beg you..."

"Mr. Ying, you are tired." Li Chen glanced coldly, "Come here, help Mr. Ying go back and have a good rest."
