The queen of the last days became a maid and just wanted to lie down

Mrs. Wang was only in her early twenties, at the age of being beautiful and graceful.

Zhuang Mu saw that she was dignified and virtuous, dressed in white, and surprisingly charming, and couldn't help but be amazed. Wang Muzhi, with such a beautiful wife at home, still went out to have fun?

Mrs. Wang felt a little uncomfortable and asked, "What is Master Zhuang looking at?"

"Oh, I just feel sad that my brother died young, leaving my wife so sad."

Madam Wang wiped her tears uncomfortably and said calmly, "My late husband suffered such a misfortune. After his death, our family became deserted. All those who admired him in the past have disappeared. It is rare that Master Zhuang and Madam Wang still have some affection for each other and come to our house in person to offer condolences. I am extremely grateful."

Zhuang Mu waved his hand, glanced at the nanny beside her, and hesitated a little: "I have something to tell you, Madam, in private. I wonder if you can ask the attendants to leave?"

Mrs. Wang hesitated a little: "I wonder what it is?"

As a newly widowed woman, it was easy for her to be gossiped about talking to a strange man alone in the room.

Master Zhuang said, "It's about Captain Wang's business."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she knew that this business was a little special. Her husband had just died and she had not had time to clean up the properties left by him. She also had no children, so these things should be dealt with as soon as possible.

It’s not known if Wang Muzhi was getting his retribution, as he kept a house full of women and had many affairs outside, but none of these women gave birth to a child for him.

Mrs. Wang became a widow at a young age and doesn't even have a child. Now she has to consider something for herself.

If she didn't consider it, the Wang family members would break down her door and snatch the property left by her husband.

So she quickly dismissed the people around her and asked Mr. Zhuang what his business was.

Zhuang Mu told Madam Wang, "When Lord Wang was alive, I did a business with him. The goods involved in this business were somewhat dangerous, but the profit was good. If Lord Wang were still alive, all the money would have been given to him. But now that Captain Wang has suffered such a disaster, the people of the Armored Guards immediately came to my house and asked me what goods Captain Wang had shipped out. Madam, please forgive me. I want to ask you for your advice. Should I tell you about this or not?"

When Mrs. Wang heard him say that this matter was somewhat taboo, she knew it was beyond her control.

She paused and asked nervously, "Mr. Zhuang, can you tell me how much this batch of goods is worth?"

Zhuang Mu made a four gesture, "Four thousand taels?"

Zhuang Mu shook his head: "It's forty thousand taels."

Wang gasped. Her dowry was at most 10,000 taels of silver, but this was a full 40,000 taels.

This damn Wang Muzhi, I don’t know how many businesses like this he has done and how much money he has hidden.

He died suddenly. Not only had I not gained any advantage from following him for so many years, but was I going to have to watch helplessly as the Wang family came to my door and robbed all my money and property?

Mrs. Wang's mind raced, and she immediately had an answer. "I wonder if the business is going well?"

Zhuang Mu paused, "The goods have been shipped out, but the money has not yet arrived. But now the Armored Guards are here to get information, and I'm afraid they'll find an excuse to embezzle the money."

When Mrs. Wang heard this, she was even more anxious than Zhuang Mu. "This is my husband's money. How can Master Zhuang let it be swallowed by the armored guards?"

Zhuang Mu thought for a moment and sighed, "I think so too. Captain Wang is in trouble now, but my friendship with him is still there, so I think it would be better for me to give the money to Madam Wang first. But regarding the goods, can Madam Wang help me?"

When Mrs. Wang heard that he was willing to give her the money immediately, she was extremely happy. If she got the 40,000 taels of silver and put it into her pocket, it would be her private money. Even if the Wang family rushed over to snatch Wang Muzhi's other properties, she would not be afraid.

People die for money and birds die for food. For the sake of this money, Mrs. Wang also wants to help Zhuang Mu.

"I wonder what Master Zhuang wants me to do for you?"

Zhuang Mu liked to talk to such smart people who knew the current situation. He smiled and said, "Captain Wang died tragically because of Lord Zheng's negligence. It is impossible for Captain Wang's money to be coveted by General Zheng. I would like to ask Madam Wang to go to the Wang family. I think Master Wang would also be willing to make a decision for this nephew. What do you think?"

Is he trying to use her to leverage the Wang family to deal with the Armored Guards?

Mrs. Wang hesitated a little when she heard this. She wanted to ask the Wang family for help, but she had to pay money.

Zhuang Mu then gave another 1 taels of silver: "Madam, please take this money and take care of it. Captain Wang and I are friends. I dare not swallow his trust. For the sake of our friendship, I only want to preserve Captain Wang's inheritance and take care of his family. Besides, I am just a small businessman and I dare not deal with the Armored Guards. I would like to ask Madam Wang to do me a favor."

Mrs. Wang thought about it, nodded and agreed. After the people left, the nanny beside her came in and asked worriedly, "Can this person be trusted?"

Madam Wang sneered, "What can I trust? I have been with this damned man for so many years, and he has been having affairs with other women outside. He has never taken me seriously. Now someone has given me such a large sum of money for him, so what is there to be untrustworthy about?"

The nanny smiled awkwardly and tried to make excuses for herself: "I think that Mr. Zhuang may not be telling the truth. Our master's goods may be worth more than this amount of money."

Madam Wang sneered at the words, "You can see it, so how can I not know it. But what does it matter, Madam? He is willing to give it, which is already a blessing. If he doesn't say it, what can I do? Besides, Madam, have you forgotten that I have received some benefits from him during these years in the Wang family? Whenever he has some money, he either uses it to bribe others or spends it on those women outside. Now that he is finally dead, I will not stay a widow for him. It is just right to sell all the beauties in this house to relieve my hatred."

Since Mr. Zhuang is willing to give her money, why would she not accept it?

Even though she knew that Mr. Zhuang might swallow up a portion of it, it didn't matter. The money that Mr. Wang had given her over the years added up to less than two thousand taels.

She knew that one should know when to quit, otherwise, if she became greedy and made a fuss, even if she extorted more money, it would probably not reach her hands.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Wang shamelessly went to the Wang family's ancestral home the next day.

When Grand Tutor Wang's wife, Old Lady Wang, heard that her nephew's daughter-in-law was coming to visit, she frowned slightly.

She is a widow now, so how can she visit other people's homes?

I'm afraid I'll have to ask her for help with some trouble.

Mrs. Wang thought that after all, she was a member of the Wang family, and it would not be good for her to dislike her grandson's wife just after her husband died.

If the incident got out, it would damage the reputation of the Wang family, so they asked someone to invite her in.

After Mrs. Wang entered the room, she immediately knelt down and begged Mrs. Wang Tai to save her life.

Mrs. Wang was shocked and asked him what was going on. Mrs. Wang said that the Armored Guards were secretly investigating her husband's property in the name of investigating the real murderer. "I am a woman, how can I understand what a man does outside? Lord Zheng suddenly came to my house and even found my husband's former partner. This is clearly an attempt to swallow up my Wang family's property. Mrs. Wang, you are the most compassionate, you must save my life."
