Corrupt official in the Red Chamber

Chapter 597 Peeping
Jia Lian was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but his eyes immediately narrowed.

He had always known that his wife, Wang Xifeng, could make money, but he did not expect that his wife's hands would stretch so far, and that she could even intervene in the transactions in the emperor's private domain.

If he had a hand in this, wouldn't the money in his private treasury keep rising every year?
After thinking of this, Jia Lian's mouth showed a smile involuntarily, but he quickly stopped it and pretended to be nonchalant and said to Xue Pan:

"I can't control this matter. It's not like you don't know that tigress in my family, but she won't let me stick to any place where I can save money."

Xue Pan had a hint of disappointment on his face after hearing this, but he soon didn't care anymore.

Although the pearl business is profitable, this business is just the icing on the cake for him, and it doesn't matter whether he has it or not.

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it. I'm still preparing to take you to do this business together!" Xue Pan said disappointedly.

Jia Lian drank a glass of wine with a smile without comment, and changed the subject and said: "Are you really ready to take action on this boss lady? Don't be confused, if your lioness finds out, your skin will be tightened. "

Xue Pan's face was full of grievance after hearing Jia Lian's joke.

His wife and Jia Lian's wife are both tigresses, but compared to his wife, she is more powerful. Although Wang Xifeng is powerful, Jia Lian also married several concubines, but what about himself? Except for that tigress, there is no woman around him.

But when it comes to resisting, does he have the courage?

Fortunately, his wife is a family-oriented person who keeps everything in order at home and outside. Moreover, since marrying this wife, their family's property has doubled. It can be said that his wife takes the most credit, and based on this alone, he has no Confidence.

In addition to his wife, his mother also looked at her daughter-in-law and didn't take his son seriously at all.

All this is said in tears.

The two complained to each other and after a long drink, they dispersed.

After Jia Lian separated from Xue Pan, he returned to Rongguo Mansion and went straight to Wang Xifeng's yard.

As soon as I entered the yard, I saw that the yard was full of housekeepers. Although there were many people in the whole yard, it was silent.

These are all happening.

When the women saw Jia Lian coming, they all performed great blessings and made way for him.

The maid waiting at the door opened the door curtain for Jia Lian and invited him into the house.

After coming in, he saw Wang Xifeng holding a ledger and looking at it. There was a young daughter-in-law standing below, peeking nervously at Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng raised her head and saw Jia Lian coming in, and reluctantly gave him a smile.

"You rest aside for a while, and we can talk again after I finish reading this account book."

Jia Lian nodded, then sat aside, while Ping'er quickly brought him fragrant tea.

Jia Lian suddenly grabbed Ping'er's hand and took her into his arms.

Ping'er was also shocked.

You must know that Ping'er still had Jia Lian in his heart before, but since he knew the details of Wang Xifeng and the relationship between her and Jia Rui, he no longer dared to be half-hearted.

This is the emperor's woman. If she dares to be half-hearted, she will end up causing trouble and her life will be lost.

So she looked at Wang Xifeng nervously. Seeing that Wang Xifeng was not paying attention, she quickly pushed Jia Lian and said, "She's still here! You don't want to die."

When he said this, Ping'er looked very panicked.

Jia Lian didn't embarrass her, let go of his hand and let Ping'er stand up. "Don't leave yet, I have something to ask you."

Ping'er could only stand there and said, "Ask me if you have anything to do, there is still something for me to take care of!"

"I heard that your grandma has a pearl business in Nanman Country?"

Ping'er peeked at Wang Xifeng, then lowered her head and said, "Stop asking, how many adults are involved in this matter?"

Jia Lian was even more certain that Wang Xifeng had opened up the relationship between superiors and subordinates this time.

But precisely because of this, Jia Lian wanted to get involved even more.

Now that Wang Xifeng has finished all the difficult things, if he doesn't sit back and enjoy the results, wouldn't he have wasted this path?
"Tell your grandma, let me join in, and I will give you a golden head and face when the matter is done."

"Stop talking. Am I still short of your reputation?" After Ping'er finished speaking, he twisted his butt and walked away.

"Little goblin, let's see how I deal with you when no one is around." Jia Lian's eyes had an evil light.

By this time, Wang Xifeng had finished reading the account book, and she gently threw it on the table.

"It's generally true, but why do I see that this month's lamp oil is 30% more expensive than last month?" Wang Xifeng said in a calm tone.

The young daughter-in-law was startled, and then whispered: "Back to grandma, this time there is rose water in the lamp oil."

Wang Xifeng smiled softly, but immediately stopped it, and then said with a sullen face: "You think I am a fool, what kind of lamp oil can I not smell?"

The young wife was so frightened that she immediately knelt on the ground and did not dare to stand up.

Wang Xifeng stared at her closely, and after a while she said: "This is your first time to make a mistake. I will give you a chance to withdraw your money, otherwise I will sell you to a brothel."

The young wife was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly.

Wang Xifeng was not in the mood to talk nonsense with her here. With a wave of her hand, a woman behind her immediately led the daughter-in-law out.

At this time, Ping'er brought a cup of tea to Wang Xifeng.

"Grandma, don't be angry, your body is your own."

Wang Xifeng took the tea cup and took a sip, then raised her eyebrows and said, "If it weren't for the fact that she is on the big boss's side, I would have dragged her out to make a plan."

At this time, Jia Lian took the opportunity to sit on the chair next to Wang Xifeng, "Second Grandma, don't be angry about this matter, let's talk about something serious."

Wang Xifeng glanced at him with a sneer on her lips, "What's the matter with Second Master? Tell me and I'll listen!"

Jia Lian had a flattering look on her face, "Second Grandma, I heard that you have a way to get pearls in Nanman Country?"

Wang Xifeng looked at him, put down the tea cup and said, "Don't mention this matter. How many people are watching this deal!"

Jia Lian was not angry at all, "The pearl business is not going well. I heard there are quite a lot of gold mines over there. How about our family get involved?"

Wang Xifeng smiled coldly after hearing this, "If you don't want to die, go alone, but don't hurt me."

Ping'er hurriedly said at this time: "The gold and silver in the Nanman Kingdom are all controlled by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. How can our grandma dare to participate?"

Jia Lian sighed, is such a good path over?
He narrowed his eyes and said, "I heard that girls from Nanman Country are very popular here. Do you have any ideas?"
