In the previous life, something happened in the Duke Zhenguo’s Mansion.

I think, when things are overturned, no one can remain intact, and my grandparents' family is probably in great danger as well.

In this life, Jiang Wanqing only wanted to develop his own power in secret. Only in this way could he deal a fatal blow to Zhou Zigu and those behind him.

At that moment, Jiang Wanqing looked at Feng Xingzhi again.

He said, "I will let you be the next Xue family. I will be responsible for the financial resources and be your backer."

After Feng Xingzhi heard this, he looked at Jiang Wanqing with a serious expression.

He sneered, "Madam, you are so confident. The Xue family is the number one imperial merchant. In his hands, all my assets are not as much as the money that is exposed from his fingers. Madam, are you so confident?"

Jiang Wanqing smiled and said, "I have the most shops in the capital, and I have the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion and the Marquis of Xingchang Mansion as your backers. What are you afraid of?"

Feng Xingzhi narrowed his eyes slightly.

There was a long struggle in his eyes.

Then he looked at Jiang Wanqing: "Why me?"

Jiang Wanqing said again: "I believe in your ability. If I give you a certain opportunity, you will definitely grow to a level that others cannot reach.

You have only been in the capital for less than a year, and you have achieved so much. This is enough to prove that you are worth my time."

Feng Xingzhi hesitated for a moment.

Then he asked, "You have given me so much money and power, what do you want me to do for you?"

Jiang Wanqing looked directly at Feng Xingzhi: "Use it for my own use."

Feng Xingzhi sneered when he heard this.

With a look of disdain on his face, he said, "I am the boss. If I am used by you, does that mean I have to work for you?"

Jiang Wanqing's eyes flickered.

He said slowly: "You abandoned your father's surname and took your mother's surname to start a new business, isn't it just to prove your strength to your father? Don't you want to avenge your mother and your sister?"

Feng Xingzhi heard this and stood up with some uneasiness.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and he looked directly at Jiang Wanqing: "How do you know? Even if you want to investigate me, it won't be that easy, you..."

Feng Xingzhi was not originally from the capital, but from the north.

The family also runs a business.

However, the family encountered an incident where the concubine was favored at the expense of the wife, and Feng Xingzhi, as the eldest son of the family, was not valued.

Therefore, Feng Xingzhi's mother and younger brother were framed by his concubine and died in a chase.

Only Feng Xingzhi was left, and he escaped the pursuit, so he came to the capital.

Jiang Wanqing also learned this information from Eunuch Fang Su.

Since Eunuch Fang Su said so, there is nothing about the capital that he doesn't know.

Then I think he also knew about Feng Xingzhi.

Jiang Wanqing asked tentatively, but unexpectedly, it was really like this.

Jiang Wanqing looked at Feng Xingzhi and said, "What I want to know is not difficult at all. If you want to gain a foothold in the capital with your strength, do you know how long it will take?

The Xue family is the number one imperial merchant family and will never allow anyone else to emerge in the capital. Behind the Xue family is the lineage of the imperial concubine, Prince Cheng'an. Do you think you have the qualifications to fight them?

Not to mention cooperating with other princes, I think those princes would look down upon your current industry. Or, if you just stand on the side randomly, if you lose, you will probably not escape death.

If you follow me, you won't have so many worries. I will give you enough money and connections. You just need to do what you want to do, and I will take care of it for you."

Feng Xingzhi was stunned, and there was a struggle in his eyes for a long time.

After all, there was some looseness.

But he was very curious about one thing.

He couldn't help but ask: "You are just a woman in a deep house, why do you want me to work for you? I am just a businessman who only knows how to make money. You want to bring down the Xue family and make a lot of money. What do you want to do with so much money? Are you doing this for the Zhenguo Mansion..."

At the end of his speech, Feng Xingzhi's expression changed slightly.

He quickly said, "I won't do anything that will cost me my life."

Jiang Wanqing quickly understood.

He shook his head helplessly.

Explaining: "What you think will never happen. If my Zhenguo Mansion really had that intention, wouldn't the world have changed its name long ago?"

Feng Xingzhi heard this and thought it made sense.

That would be even more incomprehensible.

It seemed that he noticed Feng Xingzhi's confusion.

Jiang Wanqing then explained: "I am a woman, I cannot go to the court, I cannot do anything, and as a widow of a prominent family, I cannot show my face.

But I also want to do something for my family and for the people of the world?

I hope that every woman like me will not worry about the food and clothing for her children and will be able to support herself in the future. I hope that women can also live a decent life and not be bound by those rules.

If you want to change these old rules, you have to use money to change them.

I also want to do something for the soldiers in the northern border towns. Although I am in the capital now, I also stayed in the border towns before I was ten years old. I know the hardships of the soldiers.

Therefore, I need a lot of silver to provide every soldier in the border town with even a piece of cotton-padded clothes, or even a piece of armor.

I don't want to be a widow like those women in the capital, spending the rest of my life taking care of a child and a suffocating home.

I have seen the vast desert in the north, I have ridden a galloping horse, drank large gulps of strong liquor, and chopped off the heads of my enemies.

I no longer want to be a rich lady in the imperial harem of the capital."

At the end of the conversation, some inexplicable emotions gradually appeared in Jiang Wanqing's eyes.

Jiang Wanqing seemed to be reminiscing or missing someone.

Those days in the border town were days that she would probably never experience again in her life.

She wanted to change this conservative capital city.

Why can't the capital be like the border town?

Jiang Wanqing thought about the complexity of the capital city more than once.

Would a woman in the capital really be happy if she were to be a rich and beautiful woman like this?

Are they living happily?

Feng Xingzhi, who was standing aside, was already standing there in a daze.

Jiang Wanqing's words were hard for him to digest.

He originally thought that Jiang Wanqing was no different from the ladies in the capital.

Wanting to go out and do business is just a whim.

Therefore, he did not take it seriously.

But after hearing what Jiang Wanqing said just now.

Then he realized that he was short-sighted.

For another example, it is not the gentleman's fault if he is born in a small country.

Although Jiang Wanqing lives in the capital.

But this does not mean that Jiang Wanqing has been integrated into the women in the capital's harems.

It doesn't mean that all women in the capital are just rich and beautiful.

There are also women like Jiang Wanqing.

Jiang Wanqing's words just now taught him a lot.

He didn't expect that a woman could have such insight.

At that moment, Feng Xingzhi stood up.

He looked at Jiang Wanqing with an apologetic look on his face, bowed his head and said, "I'm sorry, madam. I was narrow-minded. I never thought that you would have such a view. It's my fault."
