The little Marquis’ favorite: Madam, she is the richest in the world

The matter between Meng Xian and Jiang Heng was not publicized in a big way, but it was never deliberately avoided.

So as time goes by,

Everything that needs to be known is known in the capital, the palace, and the two families.

The princelings were quite happy at first. Marquis Wu An was from Prince Ning's party, and Jiang Heng was an immeasurable tiger.

What they are most worried about is the expansion of the power of King Ning's party, and the most common method used by the royal family to stabilize their power and expand their connections is through in-laws.

Jiang Heng has reached the age of marriageable age, but has yet to make an engagement. This matter has always been a big stone hanging in the hearts of the prince's party.

He was afraid that Jiang Heng would marry another noble girl and increase Prince Ning's power and connections.

Now that Jiang Heng has chosen a businesswoman with no power and low status, it has undoubtedly eliminated all the possibilities they were worried about.

Happy, happy.

The princelings were overjoyed when they first heard the news.

However, when the people under their command reported further information obtained from the investigation, they gradually stopped laughing.

Meng family?

Or the Meng family in Jiangnan?

The prince's heart suddenly went cold.

The Meng family in Jiangnan is not an ordinary wealthy businessman. It is a century-old family that has stood firm through several dynasties and generations.

To be honest, the founding of this dynasty is not as long as the inheritance of other families.

Although it was not exposed on the surface, everyone knew that a family that could survive the change of dynasties could not survive the change of dynasties without strong skills.

The Meng family must have their own armed men and horses in their hands; not to mention that the head of the family, Meng Yuan, also has unfathomable political power.

If such a force is used by Prince Ning for his own use, even if he succeeds in succeeding to the throne, Prince Ning will still be a serious enemy who can challenge him at any time.

This is this...

After hearing the report from his men, the prince was so angry that he was almost speechless.

This is simply a greater threat than marrying the prime minister's daughter.

And the ministers who had been flattering the prince at first to make him happy were all mute at this moment.

I can't even say a word of comfort.

Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Meng family doesn't have a bodyguard, Meng Yuan doesn't have any political power;

The fact that the Meng family is so rich that it rivals the country would be scary enough if Prince Ning takes advantage of it.

After all, in this world, money can make all the difference, so why don’t you need money?

Even if he is the prince of the East Palace, he has no money and many things are limited and even difficult to do.

The more the prince thought about it, the angrier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more terrible he felt;

Then he vented his anger on the people under his banner, "You guys were all talking incessantly just now, why are you so dumb now?"

The ministers looked at each other, then lowered their heads in fear, and said in unison, "I am incompetent."

"If you don't have any other skills, can you save this time to think of a way?"

The prince's eyes were as stern as ice, and he couldn't help clenching his fists tightly under the wide sleeves of his python robe.

I couldn't help but think secretly in my heart,

Are Jiang Heng and the Meng family's daughter really in love with each other, or is it a trap set by Prince Ning and Jiang Heng to plot against the wealthy Meng family?

-

As for other people in the capital who heard about Jiang Heng and Meng Xian, their reactions were mixed.

Those who have a clear understanding of the world will admire Jiang Heng's deep thoughts. If this marriage really comes true, it will be more economical than finding a noble girl;

There are some who don't think that far, but those who have seen Meng Xian's true appearance will lament that no matter how cold-blooded a man is, he is still greedy for sex.

These were two reactions from the ministers’ homes;

But the people in the market were much simpler. They thought the two were a perfect match for their talent and looks, so they all praised them as a match made in heaven.

Tufu's Mansion

Courtyard with famous water and smoke

The two eldest maids, Linglong and Liuli, and four second-class maids carrying trays, persuaded her outside the room for half an hour, but the door was already closed tightly, and the people inside were still unwilling to come out.

Mrs. Wang hurried over after receiving the report from the servant below. After hearing Linglong's words, she couldn't help but said to the room with a distressed look on her face: "Lin'er, you are about to lose your temper. How can you hold on with your body without eating or drinking?" Where do you live?"

Only then did a muffled sound come from inside, which even sounded like crying.

"Mom, leave me alone~"

Wang was anxious and helpless, "Who cares about you if I don't care about you? Is it worth it for you to put yourself through such trouble just for Jiang Heng?"

"Mom, please stop talking, wuwuwu..."

After all, she was the only daughter, so Wang was still mostly distressed.

"Lin'er, be obedient, open the door first, eat something, and then we can solve the problem, okay?"

"How else can we solve this problem? Jiang Heng is already with Meng Xian!" The volume in the room suddenly increased, and after saying this, the original sobs turned into howls.

"What's wrong with being together? We're not married; and what's the matter even if we're married? There are so many divorced couples these days." Wang was so anxious that she began to speak indiscriminately.

"Mom, please stop talking and leave me alone for a while."

"It's been a whole day and you haven't had a drop of water. How can your body bear it?"

——"Let her go. If she wants to do something wrong to her, then let her do whatever she wants."

A strong, high-pitched, majestic man's voice came from far away. Wang turned around to look, and it was Meng Zhou who was approaching with his head held high, followed by his follower Meng Liang.

Mrs. Wang stamped her feet anxiously, "Master, what are you talking about? This is our daughter."

"Did I say something wrong? Isn't she just doing something wrong to herself right now? She's going to die for a man without food or drink. She's so worthless. She doesn't look like my daughter."

Mrs. Wang: "Lin'er is still young, what do you have to argue with her about?"

"It's all because of you." Meng Zhou scolded Wang with a cold face.

Mrs. Wang was also dissatisfied, "I am just a daughter. If I don't spoil her, who will I spoil?"

"Speaking of this, I really underestimated that girl Meng Xian, but she was listed as Jiang Heng without even realizing it."

"He's not a big man, but his ideas are really big."

Wang's tone was sarcastic and sarcastic, which sounded extremely harsh to Meng Zhou.

"What does this have to do with Lianxian?"

"Yan Qing is not interested in Lin'er for a day or two. This is true whether Ling Lian appears or not."

Wang was dissatisfied and said: "That's not necessarily the case. If Meng Xian hadn't interfered, Princess Ning might have agreed to the marriage between Lin'er and the Crown Prince. Even if he didn't like it, they would have been in love for a long time after they got married. , so why not?”

"Who told you that those who are born after a long time must be Qing? If it is as you said, how did those resentful wives and spouses in the wealthy families come from?" Meng Zhou said with a straight face and a sonorous tone.

Wang was speechless for a moment.

But he was still not aggrieved, "I just said that girl Meng Xian is not an economical lamp. Sure enough, this merchant can't raise any good daughters, and she can do such unattractive things as she has decided to do for a lifetime."

"Shut up."

The Wang family looked down on their second brother Jiangnan for a day or two. Mengzhou knew this, but he kept resisting it. He also tried his best to turn the hostility into friendship and try to ease the conflict between the two.

But now that Wang is throwing dirty water on Meng Xian for no reason, she has really hit Meng Zhou's bottom line.

The man was so angry that he couldn't control himself in his rage. He raised his hand and slapped her. Wang was shaken by the huge force and fell onto the maid behind her.

There was a "pop" sound, and everyone present felt their hearts tremble.

The door finally opened at this moment, and Meng Lin, with red and swollen eyes, ran out from inside and fell to Wang's side with tears streaming down her face.
