Seeing Lin Dayong's concerns, Jiang Zhinian directly took out a stack of banknotes and said, "I know you have concerns in your heart."

"If you think someone is suitable and willing to be my guard, then spend money to solve the follow-up problems, even if it means buying their lives."

"You don't need to come back to see me after you bring people with you. Just catch up with the exiled team that is leading the Huo family."

"We must protect the Huo family."

"And we need to take care of the officers and soldiers leading the team..."

The Huo family was her maternal grandfather’s family. In her previous life, they were killed by bandits on the way to exile.

She later learned from Su Wanruo that it was Murong Chuan who arranged for people to disguise themselves as bandits.

Lin Dayong looked at the banknote in his hand and was somewhat flattered. "Madam, what are you doing..."

"Lin Dayong, I trust you. This concerns the lives of my grandfather's family. I can only leave it to you to protect."

"If any bandits show up, just strangle them!"

"If anyone dares to attack my grandfather's family, just kill them. If anything goes wrong, I'll take the blame!"

"Make sure my grandfather and the others are safe!"

At this moment, a cold murderous intent flashed across Jiang Zhinian's eyes.

Lin Dayong was shocked that his wife trusted him so much.

He will definitely do a good job of this.

The brothers who were together at the beginning suffered from having no place to stay.

They can take this opportunity to show their allegiance.

"Yes, ma'am, I will definitely do this well."

Jiang Zhinian said seriously: "Also, tell Grandfather and the others to stay alive and well, and tell them that I will definitely save them!"

"must!"

"Yes, ma'am!"

……

Yongping Marquis Mansion, Wanxiang Courtyard.

This is where Su Wanruo lives.

After Murong Chuan returned home in the afternoon, he learned that Su Wanruo had handed over all her jewelry. He felt sorry for Su Wanruo and went to her room.

But he saw Su Wanruo sewing shoe soles.

She accidentally pricked her finger with the needle, and blood oozed out.

Murong Chuan happened to see this scene when he arrived. He hurried forward and put Su Wanruo's finger in his mouth to suck away the blood. "How can you be so careless?"

"You are not in good health, so let the servants do the rough work."

Su Wanruo smiled softly and said, "It's okay, I can still do these things."

"You used to love wearing the shoes I made for you, saying they were soft and comfortable. I'm not afraid of the hard work, I just hate that I can't do something for you."

Murong Chuan listened and his heart was moved.

Thinking of all the grievances she had endured for his sake over the years, she felt indebted.

"Cousin, I'm sorry for having wronged you over the years. Just wait a little longer."

Su Wanruo looked like she trusted and relied on Murong Chuan, and nodded gently, "Yes, I believe in my cousin."

"By the way, I heard that you met the lady this morning, and she gave you a hard time?"

"Actually, it's normal for Madam to be angry with me. As long as I can be with my cousin, it doesn't matter."

Murong Chuan held Su Wanruo's hand tightly and said, "But I can't bear to see you suffer any injustice."

Su Wanruo looked touched, "Cousin, I also feel sorry for you and understand you."

"I know that my cousin has been enduring this for the sake of the Marquis' Mansion. It must have been very hard for him."

Su Wanruo looked up at him with a loving look.

Those eyes are so enchanting.

Murong Chuan couldn't bear it anymore, so he lowered his head and kissed Su Wanruo's lips.

When he wanted to continue, Su Wanruo struggled out of Murong Chuan's arms.

"Cousin, the lady..."

When Jiang Zhinian was mentioned, Murong Chuan felt disappointed, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him.

"Don't worry, Grandmother has replenished the items according to her dowry list. I will return them to her and take you as my concubine as soon as possible."

Su Wanruo said shyly with anticipation, "Yes, I'm waiting for my cousin!"

After Murong Chuan left the room, Yin Chai walked in and asked, "Miss, why did you send the Marquis to the Madam?"

"The Marquis' heart is obviously with you. Besides, you will soon be promoted to a concubine, so you and the Marquis should be together legitimately."

Su Wanruo smiled faintly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

"You don't understand men."

My cousin is a marquis and also a man.

Before she was promoted to a concubine, she would not allow her cousin to touch her body.

Only by keeping her hanging can he feel itchy and quickly take her as his concubine.

Besides, he felt her tenderness and friendship, and then felt Jiang Zhinian's ignorance and excessive demands, and he would think she was better.

Since she has no support from her mother's family, she naturally has to work hard.

After becoming a concubine, the next step is the position of mistress of the marquis's mansion!

The ambition in Su Wanruo's eyes was not concealed at all.

Murong Chuan went to Jiang Zhinian's Haitangyuan angrily with the account book and the matching key and jewelry he got from his mother.

But he found that Jiang Zhinian was not in the room at all.

He couldn't believe it.

He asked the maid in the yard.

"Where's your wife?"

The maid Qingdai stepped forward to report, "Madam took Lianqiao out this morning, but she didn't say where they went."

Qingdai was also Jiang Zhinian's maid before.

She didn't know why, but this time when the lady woke up from the cold, she didn't let her stay by her side to take care of her, and only Lian Qiao was left.

Murong Chuan always felt like he was losing control.

But he couldn't figure it out for a while.

He thought, "Maybe he's in a bad mood because I want to make my cousin my concubine!"

"Mother is right after all. Women can't just go along with others. How dare you get angry with him?"

"I'll put the things here first, I'll go back first."

"Yes, Lord Marquis!"

When it was getting dark in the evening, Jiang Zhinian came back.

Qingdai stepped forward to report that the Marquis had come.

Jiang Zhinian glanced at Qingdai meaningfully and said, "I understand. You can leave first!"

Qingdai didn't move, and seemed to be hesitant to speak.

Lian Qiao said: "Qingdai, Madam is tired, you should leave first."

Qingdai saw that the lady's face was indeed not good, so she withdrew.

She was puzzled. The Marquis had sent the dowry to his wife, and his wife knew everything, so why did she only want to rest and not go to see the Marquis?

Jiang Zhinian had been busy all day and was indeed a little tired.

In addition, this body has caught a cold and cannot withstand the torture.

Naturally, he had no intention of dealing with Murong Chuan.

Anyway, let him just think of it as her throwing a tantrum.

But after looking at the dowry list and then the account book, she snorted, "In just three years, those businesses have become like this."

"You really know how to cook the books!"

Stores that once made a profit of thousands of taels of silver a month now only have a few dozen taels of silver on their books, and some are even operating at a loss.

Jiang Zhinian didn't even bother to rest and began to look through the account book carefully.

……

Murong Chuan was handling official business in the study.

He waited for Jiang Zhinian to come find him until the doorman sent someone to report that Jiang Zhinian had returned.

Maybe she asked the small kitchen to make a dinner and brought it over to eat with him.

Or maybe there's something good to give him.

The finest writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone in his study were all prepared by Jiang Zhinian.

Of course, in Murong Chuan's view, since Jiang Zhinian had so much dowry, it was only natural to prepare things for him.

Murong Chuan waited for two quarters of an hour but Jiang Zhinian didn't come.

Feeling a little irritable, he asked the servant, "It's been such a long time, why hasn't the Madam come over?"
