Yao suppressed her doubts, walked towards Yao Fenglin excitedly and greeted him warmly.
"Little sister, I came here on impulse and didn't tell you in advance. I came here today because I have some business matters and I want to ask the Marquis and you for help."
When Yao Fenglin saw Yao coming, he went straight to the point and stated his purpose.
After hearing this, Yao Shi did not wait for Dingyuan Hou to speak, and immediately responded:
"Brother, if you need any help, just let me know. We are a family, so why should we separate ourselves? The Marquis is now in a prosperous career and is about to be promoted. It is no problem for me to help you solve some small problems."
Upon hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan frowned slightly, glanced at Yao, and coughed lightly to remind him:
"Don't talk nonsense, the matter is not yet settled."
"Why didn't it work? Didn't you already promise your daughter?"
Yao had been imprisoned for the past few days, so she was naturally a little dissatisfied, and her tone became a little sharp when she answered Marquis Dingyuan.
Seeing this, Yao Fenglin was worried that Dingyuan Hou's face would become even uglier, so he interrupted in time and said with a smile:
"Please don't be angry, Marquis Dingyuan. My little sister has always been straightforward and outspoken, but she has no ill intentions."
After hearing this, the worry on Dingyuan Hou's face finally dissipated and he returned to normal. After all, the Yao family had been providing generous tributes to Dingyuan Hou's mansion for many years, so he naturally felt embarrassed to refuse Yao Fenglin's face, so he took the initiative to speak:
"How could this Marquis get angry easily? Madam is absolutely right. We are a family. If your brother has any difficulties, please feel free to speak up. If there is anything you need help with, the Marquis' Mansion will do its best to help."
Hearing this, the smile on Yao Fenglin's face became even more sincere. He then let out a long sigh and carefully told him all the difficulties he had encountered in his business in recent days.
Recently, the Yao family's business has been in trouble! The silk shop suffered heavy losses due to insufficient supply and was forced to pay five times the amount of liquidated damages! This huge amount of compensation almost exhausted more than 70% of the Yao family's savings!
That's not all. Opposite the Yao's restaurant, a new restaurant called Taibailou opened. This restaurant is the most popular in the capital! As soon as Taibailou opened, it launched various promotional activities and unique marketing strategies, forcing the Yao's restaurant to lower its prices to compete, resulting in heavy losses!
If this was a single incident, Yao Fenglin might have been able to keep his composure, but these successive blows were by no means accidental. It was obvious that someone was secretly watching the Yao family and intended to suppress them!
While Yao Fenglin was thinking hard about countermeasures, his son Yao Chen couldn't help himself and took the risk to poison Taibai Tower! As a result, a murder occurred in Taibai Tower, Yao Chen was arrested on the spot, and the same poison as the deceased was found on him, so he was directly sent to the authorities for investigation!
"My Lord, you have to find a way to help us and rescue Chen'er! You know, the Yao family has only one son. If anything happens to him..."
When Yao Fenglin said this, his eyes couldn't help but turn red. At the same time, he glanced at Madam Yao and gave her a look for help.
Madam Yao immediately understood and said to Marquis Dingyuan anxiously:
"My Lord, you must save our Chen'er! He has been kind-hearted since childhood and has never suffered. If anything happens to him, I don't want to live anymore!"
After hearing this, Marquis Dingyuan frowned slightly, glanced at Madam Yao with some displeasure, and secretly blamed the Yao family for their recklessness and ignorance!
For such a simple matter, he didn't even know how to find a scapegoat to take responsibility, but instead put Yao Chen himself in trouble!
If he were in that situation, he would definitely choose to burn down Taibai Tower in the dead of night to eliminate the evil without a trace!
However, considering the Yao family's generosity over the years and Prince Duan's recent request for merit, Marquis Dingyuan lived a very comfortable life and everyone treated him with great courtesy.
Although I don’t know what position I will be promoted to yet, one thing is for sure: the prospects are limitless!
In particular, the current Vice Minister of the Ministry of War is old and has resigned and returned to his hometown. If he makes proper arrangements, the position of Vice Minister of the Ministry of War may fall into his pocket!
By then, as he stood in the court every day, would he still worry about the Marquis's Mansion not prospering?
Marquis Dingyuan suppressed his excitement, knowing full well that he could not break with the Yao family at this time. After all, the Yao family's wealth was of vital importance to him, and he was still counting on the Yao family's support.
So, he patted Yao Fenglin on the shoulder sincerely, acted like a close brother and said:
"Alright, alright, you don't need to worry too much. I will go with you right now. I believe the people of Jingzhao Prefecture will not give me any face."
Even without mentioning that he was about to be promoted, just based on his status as the son-in-law of Prince Duan, who would dare not give him some face?
After hearing this, Yao Fenglin and Mrs. Yao felt relieved and smiled with relief on their faces.
After all, Yao was a female family member and it was inconvenient for her to go with the family, so she could only stay at home and wait.
Yao sat alone in the courtyard, gazing up at the long-lost sky, when an ominous premonition inexplicably welled up in her heart.
At this moment, seeing Chao from the second house walking straight towards her, Yao pushed her hard, and she fell to the ground involuntarily with her legs up in the air.
Yao fell miserably. Before she could figure out what was going on, Chao approached her and slapped her loudly on the face.
Chao was still not satisfied and wanted to attack again. The servants around her finally reacted and rushed forward to hold Chao back.
"Let me go! Let me go! Yao, you dare to interfere in the affairs of our second house. Aren't you overreaching a little too far?"
"I want to marry that girl off to someone else. What does it have to do with you? Your so-called 'good intentions' are just unnecessary!"
Yao stood up with the help of her servants, her fingers trembling with anger as she angrily accused Chao:
"You! You shrew! What on earth are you talking about?"
"Nonsense? You are trying to curry favor with Prince Duan, and you are willing to sacrifice the women of our second house to marry? Pah! If you are going to do such a thing, why do you need to erect a chastity arch?"
Chao had been patient for two days. When she heard that Yao was free, she came specially to vent her anger to Yao in person!
After hearing Chao's accusation, Yao was furious and asked Chao loudly:
"You, how dare you! I am the wife of Marquis Dingyuan, how dare you hit me? And how dare you insult me? You simply don't know how to live or die! You..."
"What do you mean by 'Madam Dingyuan'? How can you be worthy of this title? The real Madam Dingyuan is from a famous family and is extremely noble!"
"And you? You are just the daughter of a merchant, and you were once his concubine. Even after you were made his wife, you still couldn't hide your humble origins. Do you still have the nerve to show off everywhere?"
"I guess, how could Jiang, who was originally in good health, suddenly pass away? Maybe it was you, a vicious woman, who secretly killed her!"
At this time, Chao was venting her anger to her heart's content, and every word she said pierced Yao's heart. Yao's face turned pale, as if she was burned by fire!
When Chao mentioned Jiang, Yao could no longer bear it and rushed forward and wrestled with Chao.
