Your Majesty, please stop messing around.

Outside the hospital.

Xu Lan and Xiao Lu looked around the Jiang Mansion curiously. This was their first time here and they were very curious about the Jiang family.

I have heard of the Jiang family before. They are the largest family in Jiangnan, with amazing financial resources. The Jiang family can be seen almost everywhere in the entire Jiangnan region. Especially in Chujiang City, it is rumored that most of the industries in the city have investments from the Jiang family.

Rich enough to rival a country is definitely not an exaggeration.

The current Jiang Mansion was far more luxurious than Xu Lan and Xiao Lu had imagined. As the eldest daughter of the Xu family, she had seen many grand occasions.

"Miss, look, the paths under their pavilions are actually made of jade!!"

Xiaolu spoke in surprise.

She was already a maid in a wealthy family, but the Jiang Mansion still opened her eyes.

The decorations inside and outside the Jiang Mansion, whether it is the carvings under the doors, windows, or eaves, are all valuable. Even when walking along just now, Xiaolu specially noticed that the maids and servants in the Jiang Mansion wore a lot of hairpins on their heads.

Whose maids and servants could have so many decorations?

Only the Jiang family is so generous!

Under the eaves on the other side, Jiang Yuxiang leaned against the side with his arms folded across his chest, quietly watching Xu Lan and Xiaolu like two country bumpkins who had never seen the world, looking left and right, revealing surprise from time to time.

"Aunt Xiang?!"

At this time, Xu Lan came over quietly and asked in surprise: "Is the Jiang family so rich?"

Hearing Xu Lan's question, Jiang Yuxiang smiled and said, "I guess so."

"In this world, apart from the imperial court, who else can be richer than your Jiang family?!"

Jiang Yuxiang shook her head slightly: "That's not the case."

Xu Lan was surprised: "Is there anyone richer than the Jiang family?!"

"What I mean is... the imperial court may not be as wealthy as the Jiang family."

After these words were spoken, Xu Lan and Xiao Lu both widened their eyes and took a breath of cold air.

The Jiang family is actually richer than the imperial court? !

This is too incredible.

“That’s not surprising!”

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at the two of them and said, "Jiangnan is the richest place in the dynasty, and the Jiang family is the leader in Jiangnan. The wealth accumulated by the Jiang family over the years is already difficult to estimate."

The wealth that a large family in a wealthy place can accumulate in a few decades would be a terrifying number.

As for the court?

How much money does the imperial court have!

As we all know, the imperial treasury is always the poorest.

Xu Lan shook her head and muttered, "But Aunt Xiang, didn't you say that the Jiang family is richer than the imperial court? There are so many aristocratic families in Jiangnan. If we take all the money from them, wouldn't the imperial court become rich?!"

"You really have the guts to think like that!"

Hearing this, Jiang Yuxiang couldn't help but laugh.

"Over the years, the imperial court has also wanted to increase taxes from Jiangnan. But as soon as the news came out, it was strongly resisted by the various families."

"Why?!"

Looking at Xu Lan who looked like an idiot, Jiang Yuxiang sighed: "Who would be willing to give the money they have earned to others?"

“It seems so?”

Xu Lan seemed to be thinking about something, but soon asked, "But what if the court forcibly increases taxes?"

"The aristocratic families in Jiangnan will unite and resist the imperial court together!"

"Isn't this treason?!"

Xu Lan opened her eyes wide.

“That’s complicated to explain.”

Jiang Yuxiang shook her head and didn't continue explaining to Xu Lan.

"In short, it is very difficult for the imperial court to come to Jiangnan to collect taxes. If nothing unexpected happens, it is basically impossible."

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were filled with thoughts. The various families in Jiangnan had already formed an iron plate. Under their joint management, their power was complicated and intricate, and the court's manpower could not be inserted at all.

Even the imperial court was wary of this huge force, and trying to deal with it was simply impossible.

Xu Lan seemed to be thinking about something, as if she understood, but also as if she didn't quite understand.

"That guy, is he doing something with Xiaozhu?"

At this time, Jiang Yuxiang suddenly remembered that Lin Jiangnian went to the yard to meet Xiaozhu, and the two had not come out after such a long time.

The master and servant haven't seen each other for half a year. Could it be that they are so passionate that they are doing something bad in there?

Thinking of this, Jiang Yuxiang suddenly became restless.

Everyone is still waiting outside, he is not really in there...bullying Xiao Zhu?!

Jiang Yuxiang immediately turned around and prepared to go check the situation. But at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the courtyard.

Immediately afterwards, several figures came in one after another and walked into the courtyard.

"Yuxiang!"

In front of the crowd was a middle-aged man with a calm demeanor.

It’s Jiang Zheng!

The current head of the Jiang family, Jiang Yuxiang’s elder brother!

“Brother?!”

When Jiang Yuxiang saw his elder brother appear in his sight, he immediately realized what was going on.

Okay, I went to complain to my brother!

Jiang Yuxiang glanced behind her eldest brother and saw a few sneaky figures at the entrance of the yard not far away.

"Brother, what's the matter with you coming here today?" Jiang Yuxiang stood under the pavilion in the courtyard, squinting slightly.

"Yuxiang, what did you do today?!"

At this moment, Jiang Zheng was staring at her with a slightly gloomy expression.

"You didn't do anything?!"

Jiang Yuxiang spread his hands and said innocently.

"You didn't do anything?!"

Jiang Zheng's face turned cold: "You hit Yan'er?!"

"Oh, you're talking about this?"

Jiang Yuxiang nodded and admitted it straightforwardly: "Yes!"

"She is your sister-in-law, why did you hit her?"

When Jiang Zheng heard his sister admit that she had indeed hit Sun Yan, his face darkened.

Before coming here, he still suspected that Sun Yan was lying. But now that his sister admitted it herself, Jiang Zheng suddenly became furious.

"Normally you act recklessly and I don't care about you. But this time you are really too rebellious. Do you still have respect for elders? Even if you don't like her, Yan'er is still your sister-in-law. How can you do that?!"

Jiang Zheng said in a low, menacing voice.

Facing her eldest brother's angry questioning, Jiang Yuxiang didn't show any panic on her face. She glanced at Sun Yan who was hiding behind her and sneered, "Sun Yan complained to you?!"

"Jiang Yuxiang?!"

Jiang Zheng was furious: "How many times have I told you that she is your sister-in-law!!"

"It seems that I have indulged you too much over the years. If you don't repent, don't blame me for putting you in solitary confinement!"

"I also said that I never acknowledged that she was my sister-in-law!"

However, Jiang Yuxiang was not afraid at all. She sneered: "Only you treat her as a treasure!"

"Jiang Yuxiang?!"

Jiang Zheng spoke angrily.

"Jiang Zheng, stop yelling at me. I haven't bothered you yet, but you're bothering me instead!"

Jiang Yuxiang put her hands on her hips, glared and sneered angrily: "Look at who you married. Do you know what Sun Yan did every day?"

"You have the nerve to ask me why I hit her? Have you ever asked her why I hit her?!"

After saying this, Jiang Zheng paused.

He didn't ask this.

"No matter what the reason is, she is your sister-in-law!"

Jiang Zheng said in a deep voice.

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "So, even if she humiliates me as a bitch, spreads rumors to ruin my reputation, and maliciously insults me with obscene words, I have to endure it, right?!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Zheng's expression changed significantly.

"What?!"

Jiang Zheng's eyes suddenly became hesitant: "Yan'er, did she really... insult you like this?"

"Is it true? Why don't you call her over and ask her?"

Jiang Yuxiang glanced outside the courtyard again.

After these words were spoken, Jiang Zheng's face turned extremely ugly.

He didn't even have to look back to know whether it was true or not.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

My sister has never been willing to lie in this regard. Although Yuxiang has a bad character, she has never been willing to cover up herself with lies.

And his wife...how could he not understand?

Most likely it’s pretty close!

As a result, Jiang Zheng, who was originally very aggressive, instantly lost a lot of momentum.

He turned around and looked outside the yard: "Yan'er!"

At this moment, outside the courtyard, Sun Yan saw everyone's eyes on her and immediately walked out.

"Jiang Zheng, what do you mean? Why are you looking at me?!"

Although Sun Yan felt guilty, her tone was still sharp.

"Yuxiang said you insulted her?"

"I was the one who scolded you, so what?!"

Sun Yan gave Jiang Yuxiang a vicious look: "Did I say something wrong?! Isn't she a bitch? Didn't she bring a wild man home?!"

Jiang Zheng's face suddenly darkened: "Then you shouldn't have scolded her with such vicious words!"

"What? I just scolded her a few words, what about her?!"

Sun Yan pointed at her face and said angrily: "She beat me like this, did you care?"

Seeing his wife's bruised face, Jiang Zheng suddenly felt guilty.

"She beat me like this, did you help me get revenge? Mr. Jiang, you are really not a man!" Sun Yan gritted her teeth.

Jiang Zheng was in a lot of trouble at the moment, with his wife on one side and his sister on the other. And both sides... were at fault.

Difficult to handle!

"Yan'er, you were the one who insulted Yuxiang first. Yuxiang probably attacked you out of desperation. You see..."

"Mr. Jiang, are you trying to persuade me to just forget it?!"

Sun Yan stared at him in disbelief, as if she couldn't believe that these were words her husband would say.

Seeing her husband's expression, Sun Yan was completely furious: "Great! You guys are really a family, teaming up to bully me, right?!"

"Wait, all of you wait!"

Sun Yan was furious when she found out that her husband did not stand up for her and just let her let it go.

She stared at Jiang Yuxiang with resentment for a few seconds, then suddenly turned around and left without looking back.

"Yan'er..."

Jiang Zheng opened his mouth to stop him, but he didn't know what to say.

At this time, Jiang Yuxiang's sneering voice came to my ears: "What? Why don't you catch up and comfort him?"

Jiang Zheng was silent, took a deep breath, and then said, "Forget it, let her calm down first."

"Wait until she calms down."

Jiang Yuxiang glanced at her and said, "Calm down? I don't think so. Looking at her expression, I'm afraid she might even hate you!"

"Tell me, what kind of woman did you marry?! Hasn't she caused enough trouble for the Jiang family over the years?!"

Hearing Jiang Yuxiang suddenly scolding him, Jiang Zheng's face darkened slightly: "You are still scolding me, what about you?!"

"What's wrong with me?!"

"Yan'er said you brought a wild man back. Is that true?!"

Looking at Jiang Zheng, who was questioning with a gloomy face, Jiang Yuxiang curled her lips and sneered: "Don't tell me, I did bring a man back!"

As soon as these words came out, Jiang Zheng's face suddenly changed and his brows suddenly frowned: "Nonsense?!"

"Do you know what you are doing?!"

"What? What did I do wrong again?" Jiang Yuxiang sneered.

"you……"

Jiang Zheng had a huge headache. He had known that his sister was not behaving properly, but he never expected her to do such a thing.

"You are still single and you suddenly bring a strange man home. Do you know what this means?"

"What does it mean?!"

Jiang Zheng said in a deep voice: "Your engagement with the young master of the Xu family is still in place..."

"Shut up, when did I get engaged?" Jiang Yuxiang interrupted him.

"The old man finalized it last year!"

"The old man hasn't agreed yet. Besides, have I agreed?!" Jiang Yuxiang sneered

"It's the parents' order and the matchmaker's words, how can you just disagree with it?!"

"I just don't agree, what can you do to me?!"

Jiang Yuxiang sneered: "Why? Are you so impatient to sell me out?!"

"It's a lifelong event, how can it be treated as a joke? Even if you don't agree with the Xu family's marriage, you can't just bring a man back home!"

"Where are you going to put our Jiang family's face?!"

Jiang Yuxiang looked disdainful: "Sure enough, in your eyes, the Jiang family's reputation is the most important, right?"

"Do you think that if I don't get married, I will bring shame to your Jiang family?!"

"you……"

Jiang Zheng's face was gloomy. He could tolerate other things, but this was absolutely not possible.

"Where's that man? Where is he?!"

Jiang Zheng glanced around the yard, trying to find the whereabouts of the wild man his sister brought back.

No matter what, he would never allow his sister to bring a wild man back!

While not many people know about this and the news has not spread out yet, we must get rid of this man quickly!

"What do you want to do?!"

Jiang Yuxiang crossed her arms and stared at him coldly.

"No matter who you bring back, you can't keep him!"

Jiang Zheng said in a low and decisive voice: "We must deal with him quickly and never let your reputation be damaged."

"Oh!"

Jiang Yuxiang's eyes were full of sarcasm.

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability!"

Jiang Zheng frowned suddenly: "What do you mean?!"

"I'm afraid you don't have the ability to deal with the man I brought back!"

Jiang Yuxiang looked at him with disdain and sneered repeatedly.

Jiang Zheng frowned even more: "Whose family is he from? Or a royal noble?!"

Then he said expressionlessly: "Even if he is a prince or noble, I will definitely not let him off today!"

"Yeah?"

Jiang Yuxiang crossed her arms and caught a glimpse of two figures appearing in a small courtyard not far away.

"Yes, he is coming..."

"Let me see what you have in mind to not let him go!"
