After having dinner at Zuixianlou, Jiang Chuwei went to the rouge shop, silk and embroidery workshop, etc.

Then he asked Manager Wu to take the silver and money and go to various places with Yu Datong to collect grain.

Looking at the 500,000 taels of silver in their hands, their legs were trembling.

This is really too much!

If this is lost, they can't afford to pay for it even with their lives!

"Miss! Are you so confident in handing over this money to us?" Shopkeeper Wu didn't dare to take it.

"You all come from the General's Mansion, I trust you.

Uncle Wu, you have some martial arts skills, I will send a few more people to follow you, and the grain you purchase will be transported to Nanzhou."

"Isn't the noise too loud?" asked Manager Wu.

"Nanzhou is too small. Transporting so much food at once will easily attract the attention of the government."

"Uncle Wu! What do you think?" Jiang Chuwei didn't want to cause trouble. When the earthquake happened in Nanzhou and she opened the granary to release grain, given the emperor's temper, he would definitely suspect that she had received some news first and concealed it.

She wanted to save the people of Nanzhou, but didn't want to get herself involved.

She is not a living Bodhisattva. Knowing this opportunity, she planned to make more money and save a large number of people.

Five hundred thousand taels of grain are far from meeting the needs of Nanzhou.

"Miss! These grains are to be used in Nanzhou, right?"

"Yes!"

"In my opinion, we should first transport part of the grain to Nanzhou. We have shops in the neighboring counties of Ningyuan, Hezhou and Lizhou. If we distribute most of the grain to these shops, we can avoid the government's inspection."

Food is related to the foundation of the country. If a merchant arbitrarily mobilizes so much food, it will definitely cause unnecessary trouble.

If they are scattered in various places, they will not be so eye-catching.

"I'm not thoughtful enough. I'll trouble you with these matters, Uncle Wu."

"Since the young lady trusts me so much, I will send a message to the shopkeepers in each county and ask them to buy grain nearby. I will personally deliver the money."

"Okay! I'll leave it to you." Jiang Chuwei explained everything and finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Shopkeeper Wu and Yu Datong still felt like they were dreaming.

"Miss! Don't worry, we promise to get things done!" Yu Datong expressed his loyalty.

Jiang Chuwei nodded: "Thank you for your hard work, come to me if you have any difficulties."

"it is good!"

After checking some more details, Jiang Chuwei went home.

As soon as I entered the door, Lu Yanling came to greet me: "Sister-in-law!"

Jiang Chuwei was surprised.

Lu Yanling is the concubine daughter of Marquis Pingyang and the only daughter of Aunt Yao.

He has never had a sense of presence in the mansion.

In her previous life, Lu Yanling jumped into a well and died at the age of seventeen.

Aunt Yao also jumped into the same well a month later.

Jiang Chuwei asked: "Are you waiting for me?"

"Sister-in-law, please save me." Lu Yuling fell to her knees.

Jiang Chuwei frowned: "Get up!"

Xia Qi immediately put his hands under her armpits and pulled her up: "Let's talk it over."

Lu Yanling looked at Jiang Chuwei with pleading eyes.

Thinking about her youthful age in her previous life, Lu Yanling had the heart to jump into the well. She must have encountered something that she couldn't survive.

In this life, she found Jiang Chuwei.

I guess I want to survive too.

Chen Yulan was very mean to illegitimate sons and daughters, but Lord Lu ignored them.

This made life difficult for the concubine and the concubine's daughter in the marquis's mansion.

When Jiang Chuwei was the housekeeper, she never treated these people harshly.

Whenever Aunt Yao met her, she would respectfully call her "Madam Crown Prince".

Jiang Chuwei remembered that when she first got married, Lu Yuling timidly called her sister-in-law and brought her a wedding cake.

She said her aunt said that the bride would be hungry all day on her wedding day, so she secretly brought wedding cakes to fill the bride's stomach.

Jiang Chuwei still remembers the shy look clearly.

She was only twelve or thirteen years old at that time.

"Come with me!" Jiang Chuwei walked towards Avon Courtyard.

Jiang Chuwei was counting the days. Logically, there was still one year before she jumped into the well and died. She wondered what difficulties she had encountered today.

When they arrived at Avon Court, Lu Yanling knelt down again.

Jiang Chuwei: "Get up! Don't kneel down at every turn.

Tell me, I will try my best to help you."

She felt very sympathetic towards Lu Yanling.

Because she came out of her aunt's womb, and was clearly a daughter of a marquis's mansion, but she lived like a servant.

Lord Lu has no sense of responsibility at all.

Once you bring people in, you don't care about their life or death.

Fortunately, the concubine survived.

If they were illegitimate children, Chen Yulan would definitely find a way to make them die young.

She would not let them grow up and compete with her son for the family property.

Although Lord Lu only had two concubines, there were countless maids and servants without official status in his room.

As long as any of them were pregnant, Chen Yulan would find ways to kill them both.

Otherwise, she would have drowned after being born.

She did this secretly at first, but later, when she saw that the marquis didn't care much about the death of his concubine, she became more and more brazen.

The concubines dared to be angry but not to say anything because Chen would sell them out if she disagreed with them.

Therefore, the only concubines left in the mansion were those who were honest and docile.

Jiang Chuwei only knew these things when her soul from her previous life wandered around the Marquis' Mansion.

By that time, Lu Yanling had already died.

"Sit down and talk!" Jiang Chuwei looked at her.

Lu Yanling’s birthday had just passed a few days ago.

Because she was coming of age, Lu Yanfang didn't want to be overshadowed by her, so she asked Chen Yulan not to hold a coming-of-age ceremony for her.

Aunt Yao was so angry that she wiped her tears, but she could do nothing about it.

Jiang Chuwei couldn't get involved in what happened in her father-in-law's room, so she privately gave him a few pieces of jewelry as her coming-of-age gift.

Lu Yanling was so moved that she cried. Aunt Yao always said that the Crown Prince's wife was simply a living Bodhisattva.

"Please save me!" Lu Yanling burst into tears before she could say a word.

Jiang Chuwei waited quietly for her to speak.

Dong Hua filled the teapot and said, "Just talk nicely. Our lady will definitely help if she can."

"It's my mother. She wants to take me... take me..."

Lu Yanling was embarrassed.

"You all go out first." Jiang Chuwei ordered.

Chunqin took her people out to wait.

"Go ahead, there are only two of us now, don't be afraid."

"My mother wants to marry me to Zhang, a butcher on the street, as his second wife." Lu Yanling burst into tears.

"What?" Jiang Chuwei couldn't believe it.

A young lady from a marquis's mansion married a butcher as his second wife. Is this a human thing to do?

Jiang Chuwei asked, "Does the Marquis know?"

My mother said that if I told my father, she would sell my aunt out. My mother said that even if my father knew, he would not do anything.

"Why?"

"The butcher promised my mother a betrothal gift of three thousand taels."

Three thousand taels, even if a noble family wanted to marry a concubine's daughter, this was the maximum price they would pay.

Butcher Zhang lost a lot of money.

No wonder Chen was tempted.

Given the current situation of the Marquis' Mansion, it is in urgent need of money to fill the deficit.

She could get the same price if she found a bastard from a noble family, but Chen Yulan hated the marquis's bastards, so how could she let them live happily?

Lu Yanling could sell it for a good price, so of course she chose Zhang the butcher.

This man is about the same age as the Marquis. Chen is really committing a sin!

"Don't cry yet. There will always be a way."

Jiang Chuwei's mind was spinning.

She wanted to dig out some clues from her memories of her previous life that might be of help.

Hearing that Jiang Chuwei was willing to help, Lu Yanling knelt down again: "Thank you, sister-in-law!"

Jiang Chuwei pulled her up and said, "If you call me sister-in-law, I will naturally help you. Don't be too anxious. Don't leave your yard these days."

"You won't go out even if your mother calls you?"

"Just pretend to be sick!"

There is no better way at the moment.
