Yan Ruyu knew that Huo Changxian was in urgent need of money, and what he wanted was more than just letting the shaman stay.

Sure enough, after beating around the bush, the idea came to the salt business.

Hearing Huo Changhe say that people would arrive in three days, he was visibly relieved.

Yan Ruyu lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes covering the coldness in her eyes.

Three days is enough to make you bankrupt and lose everything.

Huo Changhe coughed a few times, and Yan Ruyu said at the right moment: "Master, are you feeling unwell again? Why don't you go back first?"

"Alright."

The shaman master was postponed, the salt business was settled, Huo Changxian's goal was achieved, and he no longer stood in the way.

He ordered the boy: "Go and get the deed of the jewelry building."

The young man took it and Huo Changhe said: "This is not necessary. I'd rather hand it over to Yu'er after the young master has done it."

Huo Changxian said: "That's fine."

He turned around and told the boy: "Did you hear that? You must finish it and hand it over to the girl. Tell those people in the shop that the words of the young master and the girl are my words. If anyone doesn't want to do it, just get out."

"Yes."

Yan Ruyu and Huo Changhe were about to leave when they heard footsteps outside and the woman beside Yongchang County Lord came in.

"My eldest son, the county master heard that the girl is here and wants to invite her to meet her."

This is normal. I have seen him before. Yan Ruyu had a "pleasant" conversation with the head of Yongchang County.

Therefore, Huo Changxian didn't think much and looked at Yan Ruyu.

Unexpectedly, Yan Ruyu turned sideways this time, with her back facing the mother-in-law, and Huo Changhe's expression became even more ugly.

"My young master is unwell and I can't get away, so I won't go see the county master. Besides, I made it clear during the last visit that the county master is fine. He just needs to take good care of himself and there is no need for further consultation."

The mother-in-law was a little embarrassed. She never expected to be rejected in person.

Huo Changxian was also stunned.

Before they could recover, Huo Changhe and Yan Ruyu had already left.

Huo Changxian was confused and turned to look at his mother-in-law: "What's going on?"

The mother-in-law looked a little unhappy: "You really don't know how to appreciate me!"

Huo Changxian's face darkened slightly. This was a critical moment for him and Mr. Jia to discuss cooperation, so nothing could go wrong.

"What happened? Why did you say something rude?"

The mother-in-law Fushen said: "Young master, you don't know. The county master mentioned it twice to that maidservant, asking her to follow you, stay by your side, and take charge of the business. What a good thing this is? No matter how many people ask for it, she can't get it!" I don’t understand why I don’t care about you!”

Huo Changxian was simply shocked, his eyes widened: "What? Mother mentioned letting her come with me? When did it happen?"

"It's the last time she went to the backyard to treat the county lord, and yesterday morning, she asked the old slave to go to the inn in person, and she also brought jewelry..."

Before he finished speaking, Huo Changxian hurried to the backyard.

His mind was filled with what Mrs. Cai had just said, as well as Huo Changxian and Yan Ruyu's displeased expressions before leaving.

Could it be that their faces suddenly changed? Could it be that they had always been indifferent to emotions and could not help it this time? It turned out to be like this!

The head of Yongchang County lost half his life.

After meeting Qi Tianmeng, I went to the warehouse to check and found that the warehouses and grain depots in the mansion were empty.

Not a single piece of silver or a grain of rice was left.

So many belongings, all the things I had saved with so much effort, were gone in such an inexplicable way.

There was no sign of theft in the house, and no one noticed it, which was simply incredible.

When she came back, she fell on the bed and almost fainted. It took a lot of effort to regain her breath.

"Go and call the young master."

She has to ask this traitor carefully! what on earth is it.

No one was called, but I heard that a distinguished guest had arrived. When I asked more carefully, it was the young master named Jia who came with his little maid.

The county head suddenly breathed again, okay, before the proposal of marriage, the master and servant made no mention of it, but now they went to the front hall and didn't say hello to her.

She immediately ordered her mother-in-law to invite Yan Ruyu.

After waiting and waiting, I saw Huo Changxian coming in in a hurry.

"Mother, why did you mention that to Mr. Jia's maid?"

Seeing that he not only did not say hello or mention the theft of the warehouse, but instead questioned himself, the Lord of Yongchang County became even more angry.

"Pah!" He threw the tea cup at his hand and broke it at his feet.

Huo Changxian was startled and took two steps back: "Mother."

"You still know that I am your mother! First, you don't say hello, and second, you ask, do you still have me in your eyes?"

Huo Changxian knelt down quickly: "Mother, my son is in a hurry. Please calm down."

"Let me ask you, what's the matter with the theft in the mansion? How dare you hide such a big thing from me? Are you in charge of the mansion?"

"Son, I don't dare. It's just that my mother is sick and I'm afraid you'll be worried, so..."

"So much property has been lost, but there are no clues at all. How do you handle the affairs of the house?" Every word of Yongchang County Lord was wrapped in fire. "I have trained you like a waste for so many years. It's really embarrassing. Great job!"

Huo Changxian held his hands tightly and lowered his head without saying a word.

These words were too serious. He could feel that his mother was dissatisfied with him many times, but this was the first time he said such serious words.

Seeing this, the mother-in-law quickly offered a new cup of tea.

The Lord of Yongchang County drank a few sips, and his anger gradually calmed down: "You just asked me why I let my maid follow you, but do you feel aggrieved?"

"My son didn't mean that. He just thinks that she is not an ordinary woman. If he insists..."

"No matter how unusual it is, she is still a slave," the Lord of Yongchang County interrupted her. "Since you are a slave, your master should have the final say. If you follow Mr. Jia, it is Mr. Jia who has the final say. When you come to us, it is we who have the final say."

"She is quite talented. She is in charge of affairs around Mr. Jia and is also highly valued. Asking her to come here is equivalent to being tied to the Jia family. Taking the opportunity to ask for more dowry can make up for the loss of the theft from the warehouse. Besides, , with her here, will the Jia family’s business be less in the future? If it is less, let her get it."

"You say you want her to be by your side, but in fact you just want her to be a housekeeper, with no name or status, and just to bring in some business."

"Why are you anxious? It won't affect you if you should marry a wife in the future."

Huo Changxian originally thought it was inappropriate, but after listening to Yongchang County Lord's analysis, he felt that there were many benefits and it was indeed feasible.

but……

"Mother, my son is not anxious, nor is he afraid of the impact. It's just that Mr. Jia thinks highly of her, so I'm afraid it won't be easy to get her."

"It's hard to ask for it because the price offered is too low, otherwise there's nothing hard to ask for," Yongchang County Lord sneered, "The shaman is related to his life, wouldn't he also borrow it?"

Huo Changxian's eyes lit up, recalling Yan Ruyu's graceful figure and good looks. If she could really come here...

Yongchang County Lord looked at his expression and knew that he was tempted. He lowered his eyes to cover up some of the anger in his eyes.

"But, mother, there aren't many valuables around my son anymore. I'm afraid... I won't be able to give you a high price."
