Ruanjiaobao was forced to marry by Lord Hou again

Chapter 258
Seeing that Ye Lingwu had no intention of pouring tea for her guest, Jiang Yuan picked up the teapot and said, "What did you say to him?"

Ye Lingwu was unwilling to confess, and could only remain silent.

Jiang Yuan was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea leisurely, and said half-jokingly: "Actually, I don't care what you say to him, but I am afraid that it will be troublesome if I am targeted at the court in the future. After all, the other party is Your Majesty." You have to give Ning Beihou some face."

"Are you afraid too?" Ye Lingwu squinted at her.

Jiang Yuan chuckled and said, "I don't think it's possible to argue with generals."

"You don't look like you're afraid of being targeted," she said angrily.

"There are so many unsatisfactory things in life, and sometimes it's good to just ignore them." Jiang Yuan teased with a smile, "I am very pleased with you when I look at Lord Hou. Haven't you ever been moved?"

Ye Lingwu's face suddenly turned crimson, she scratched her eyes and said, "Why are you asking this?"

Jiang Yuan propped her chin, and the dizzy candlelight shone on her face, she finally had a girly look, "Gossip, don't girls like to talk about this?"

"." If she didn't mention it, Ye Lingwu would almost forget it.

Seeing that Ye Lingwu's face was ashen and livid, Jiang Yuan chuckled twice and said, "Forget it, I won't make fun of you." She turned to look at the piles of accounts on the case table, "These are the account books of Ziluobuzhuang?"

Ye Lingwu nodded, and said: "Besides, there are some old bad debts left by the big lady."

"Big lady?" Jiang Yuan said, "That aunt you used to curse in front of me when you were young? I saw her last time, and it's exactly the same as what you described when you were young."

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Did I often curse her when I was young?"

Jiang Yuan raised his lips and smiled: "You really have a bad memory, even when we first met in the capital. You didn't recognize me at all. Fortunately, the first time I saw you, I couldn't sleep for several nights."

Ye Lingwu felt guilty, not because of too many changes.

Speaking of which, Jiang Yuan's voice is as hoarse as a man's when speaking as a girl, which is really strange.

She couldn't help saying, "I don't understand something."

Seeing her serious expression, Jiang Yuan probably knew what she was going to ask, and replied, "Since we are a family in the future, Qingqing can ask whatever you want."

Ye Lingwu said: "Although the Jiang family is unknown among the famous families in Huainan, it is still a century-old family. How could they let you, a girl, enter the court and take risks as a man?"

Jiang Yuan lowered his eyes slowly, and replied after a long silence: "I told you my name when we first met. Although I lied to you a lot, that name didn't lie to you."

".Jiang Shiwei?" Ye Lingwu asked.

Jiang Yuan picked up the teapot and mixed half a cup of tea, and said, "The name 'Jiang Yuan' belongs to my elder brother."

Ye Lingwu was shocked and said, "Your elder brother?"

"My eldest brother died of illness when I was 15 years old, that is, the year I left Daiyue Town. It's a pity, as the only son of the Jiang family, he was given great respect by the Jiang family. the best of the best."

Jiang Yuan didn't continue talking, picked up the tea bowl and drank slowly, until the bottom of the bowl, then put down the tea bowl and said: "It's a long story at this time, I will tell you slowly when I return to Beijing in the future. The key is to deal with these bad debts quickly, I heard that Lord Hou came today to settle all the debts of Ziluobuzhuang?"

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "I will return the money to him in the future."

Jiang Yuandao: "Do you need my help? Although the 8000 taels is indeed a lot, I can't bear it."

".unnecessary."

"As long as you successfully inherit the Ye family's business, the money will naturally be paid off."

"What about taking care of it in the future? After going to the capital, who are you going to entrust the Ye family to?"

Ye Lingwu was silent.

Jiang Yuan did not continue to ask, but picked up the account book to look through it, and said, "There is something that I think you will really want to know."

"what's up?"

"The eighth master who came today is named Wei Fei. He is a well-known figure in Yuzhou. The business with your cloth shop is not even the tip of the iceberg to him. Guess why he suddenly came to ask for debts with great fanfare today. ?”

Ye Lingwu frowned, and complained in a low voice: "Can you speak directly, and guessing all the time, it's not troublesome."

Jiang Yuan carefully flipped through the account book and said, "Okay, then we won't beat around the bush. He came here today for the sake of Mrs. Ye."

Ye Lingwu raised her head suddenly, and said in astonishment, "What's the matter with her?"

Jiang Yuan didn't raise his head, and replied: "The eldest lady of the Ye family is also Liu Yuping, and she knew Wei Fei before she became your father's concubine. My subordinates saw the eldest lady sneaking out of the house through the back door yesterday, so they thought it was strange. I followed, only to see that the eldest lady went to a mansion, and my subordinates took a little effort to find out that it was Wei Fei's mansion."

Ye Lingwu frowned and said, "Even if we know each other, why would Wei Fei just listen to her?"

Jiang Yuan was indifferent, and said in a short while: "There are only transactions between merchants, and there are only a few things that the eldest lady can trade with Wei Fei. Young Lord Shen let Wei Fei get the money, but compared to 8000 taels , the Ye family is more valuable."

Ye Lingwu clenched her fists tightly, her fingertips trembling, and said coldly, "I won't hand over the Ye family just like that."

Jiang Yuan stopped looking at the account book, finally raised his head, smiled and said: "Then you need to think about how to convince the Ye family of you, Miss Ye family."

Ye Lingwu glanced at her and said nothing.

Jiang Yuandao: "Compared to the big lady, Wei Fei is the one to deal with. He is one of the biggest merchants in Yuzhou. He has some means to make the Ye family go bankrupt without your father. The debts owed by Ziluobuzhuang are trivial matters. The most difficult The most important thing is the business of cloth village in the future.”

Ye Lingwu sighed softly, and said, "Yes, if the business of Buzhuang never recovers, let alone 8000 taels, I'm afraid we won't be able to pay back 800 taels."

Jiang Yuan said slowly: "Businessmen, profit is the first priority. Now they dare to come to find fault. Apart from collecting debts, it is more likely that Ziluobu Zhuang has not been in operation for a long time, and it will not bring them any benefits. Therefore, rectification Ziluobu Zhuang is the current priority. What do you think?"

Ye Lingwu didn't respond.

In fact, before she said these words, Ye Lingwu had already thought so. Tonight, the three managers showed Liu Yuping's bad debts, just to let her argue with Liu Yuping again, so as to ignore their existence .

But Ziluobu Zhuang has come to this point, besides Liu Yuping, the three of them have even heavier responsibilities.

As the candlelight dimmed, the clapper rang at Xushi, and Jiang Yuan put down the account book and left.
