After the male supporting role stopped interfering, the female protagonist suffered

Lin Suer's reputation was in tatters, and she had lost the support of Duke Heng's Mansion, so she was naturally not liked by the Sixth Prince.

The Sixth Princess was a jealous person, and she tortured Lin Suer in different ways every day.

Lin Su'er was trapped in the Six Kings Courtyard, crying out to heaven and earth for help but to no avail.

When Zhou returned to see the emperor, he won the emperor's favor the more he spoke and was directly promoted to the Minister of Revenue.

The first thing he did when he took office was to recover the debts.

He went to the declining Yongning Marquis Mansion, where the old marquis loved gambling.

After his death, all his property was lost.

The current successor to the throne is very worried because he is poor and his title has not been recognized by the court.

At this time, Zhou Hui came to the door.

He didn't beat around the bush and directly asked about paying back the money.

At first, Marquis Yongning was reluctant.

After all, fifty thousand taels of silver is still a lot.

"My Lord, are you willing to just be an idle Lord? If you ask me, you should go and repay the money with great fanfare. The Emperor will remember your kindness. Then not only will your title of Marquis of Yong'an be legitimate, but you will also be able to get a job."

Zhou Hui looked at Marquis Yongning with a smile, and Marquis Yongning felt a little nervous and embarrassed.

The main reason is that the Marquis's family cannot come up with 50,000 taels of silver unless they use the lady's dowry.

Zhou Hui also noticed his hesitation and said with a smile: "Brother Mo Bai, this opportunity is not to be missed. Think about it carefully."

After saying that, Zhou Hui stood up and said goodbye. An Qi was puzzled. Why did he choose Qin Mobai among so many down-and-out nobles in Shangjing City?

He also asked his doubts, and Zhou Hui said: Because Qin Mobai is worth it.

Qin Mobai was a capable man. In Zhou Hui's memory, he finally entered the officialdom on his own and eventually became the prime minister.

In this case, showing kindness to such people in advance may be of great use in the future.

......

......

Qin Mobai returned to the main courtyard and told his wife about this. His wife was very generous and directly gave him 50,000 taels of silver.

"Mo Bai, I think this is an opportunity, an opportunity to show my face in front of the emperor."

"I know you don't have money, but I do! When a husband and wife are united, they can accomplish anything."

"I have also heard of this Lord Zhou. He is quite famous. Not only in the officialdom, but also in the emotional field."

Lady Yong'an had heard of Zhou Hui's reputation a long time ago.

I heard that his wife's family background is not high either.

However, the two were in love and there were no concubines in the family.

"Yes! I've heard of that too. Xian'er, thank you. Don't worry, I will pay you back."

Qin Mobai was deeply moved and looked at his wife with tenderness in his eyes.

He loves his wife very much.

I chose her because of love and also because of benefits.

But he takes this relationship seriously.

"Mo Bai, what are you talking about! I don't need you to pay me back."

The wife of the Marquis of Yong'an said coquettishly that she was not short of money, so she didn't care about the 50,000 silver coins.

Qin Mobai just hugged her and thanked her in his heart.

......

......

The next day, Qin Mobai beat drums and gongs and went around the city to deliver the money to the Ministry of Revenue.

"Marquis Yong'an, what are you doing..."

Zhou Hui was very good at acting, and he pretended not to know.

Qin Mobai understood immediately and said loudly: "In the early years, my family was in trouble, and fortunately the court supported us. After I recovered, I remembered that I owed the court money."

"The emperor is considerate of his subjects and generously allowed the Ministry of Revenue to lend my father money for emergency use. After we survive the disaster, we will return it."

"Master Zhou, I not only paid back 50,000 taels of silver, but also paid 1,000 taels of interest."

After finishing his words, Zhou Hui quietly gave Qin Mobai a thumbs up.

He is worthy of being the Prime Minister in the future.

"Marquis Yong'an is righteous! I will report this to the emperor and reward you."

Zhou Hui called the officials from the Ministry of Revenue to come up and count the items into the warehouse.

He went to the palace that day and reported to the emperor that Qin Mobai had given him 1,220 taels of silver.

"Your Majesty, I think the Marquis of Yong'an deserves a generous reward! Such a loyal minister should not be let down."

Zhou Hui spoke righteously and encouraged the emperor to reward Marquis Yong'an.

The emperor has been troubled by the fact that these ministers have not repaid their debts for a long time.

Marquis Yong'an was able to take the initiative and even pay back the interest, so he is indeed a loyal man.

To eat the emperor's salary and share his worries is what a subject should do.

Under Zhou Hui's suggestion, Qin Mobai not only inherited the title of marquis legitimately, but also went to the Ministry of Revenue to fill the vacancy.

The most important thing is that the emperor also sent a plaque with the words "Home of Loyalty" to the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion.

What followed was a reward, which far exceeded the interest paid by Qin Mobai.

In the previous dynasty, the emperor praised Yong'an Hou as a loyal minister who shared the worries of the court, and everyone should learn from him.

......

......

After the court session, Zhou Hui met two ministers on his way back. He talked to them and then left.

On the same day, the Ministry of Revenue recovered the debt, the emperor commended them, and allowed their children to join the Ministry of Revenue.

The ministers who were originally watching were stunned, and hurriedly took the debts and silver to the Ministry of Revenue.

The emperor simply praised them loudly at the court meeting and randomly pointed out what a few families had eaten, but they had no money to pay back the debt owed to the court.

Could it be that they want to rebel?

After the emperor said this, all the ministers knelt down and said they dared not.

On that day, they all trembled as they sent the debt and interest to the Ministry of Revenue.

Zhou Hui and Qin Mobai looked at the account books in their hands and smiled at each other.

"Master Zhou, would you like to go drink with me today?"

Qin Mobai invited Zhou Hui to have a drink together, hoping to celebrate.

Zhou Hui waved his hands repeatedly and said with a smile: "Next time! Next time! I'll treat you. My wife is back, and I have to spend some time with her."

"Lord Zhou and his wife are so loving."

Qin Mobai couldn't help but sigh. It was the first time he saw someone value his wife so much.

Zhou Hui smiled faintly and said mysteriously: "He who loves his wife will have a smooth career. At the beginning, I also thought that Madam was suitable, and Madam also thought that I was suitable. However, as we got to know each other better, we found that we also had common topics."

"On weekdays, when I'm not busy, I take her out for an outing. When I'm busy, she won't blame me for not having time."

"My wife's world is wonderful. With me, it will be even more wonderful."

After saying that, Zhou Hui waved his hand and walked straight into the mansion.

Qin Mobai looked at his leaving back and fell into deep thought.

When Zhou Hui returned to the mansion, he heard laughter and joy inside.

A smile appeared on his face and he walked in slowly.

When Lady Hengguo, Lin Mo'niang, his younger brothers and sisters and others saw Zhou Hui, their eyes were full of smiles and as gentle as water.

When Lady Hengguo saw her son, the smile on her face became even more sincere.

"Mom, what are you laughing at?"

Zhou Hui wondered what had happened that made his mother so happy.

"Haha! Duke Cheng's Mansion is in big trouble. I am definitely happy. Son, you are really amazing."

Lady Hengguo gave a thumbs up, her son was really amazing.

"This matter has nothing to do with me. It's just that Duke Cheng himself won't take sides."

Zhou Hui knew what his mother was talking about. When collecting the debts this time, the Chengguo Mansion was criticized by the emperor.

He was not given any face as an old minister at all.

"No matter what, as long as the Chengguo Mansion is in trouble, I will be happy."

This matter started with the wife of Duke Cheng. She and the wife of Duke Cheng had not gotten along since childhood, so she was naturally happy to see the other party in trouble.
