Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain

The servant looked at Li Qiulian, nodded, and left through the back door to report the matter to Xie Ci.

Li Qiulian didn't know that this shop was originally owned by a sixth-rank official of the Chen Kingdom. Now the shop has been taken over by the Xie family and is registered under the name of the Queen.

What Li Qiulian found out was that this was the public shop of a sixth-rank official of the Chen State. It just so happened that this sixth-rank official had previously approached He Yuanzhou and wanted to bribe He Yuanzhou to establish connections and learn about the true situation of Yan State's internal affairs, but was rejected by He Yuanzhou.

However, they did not find out that the sixth-rank official directly surrendered to the emperor and donated more than half of his property to fill the national treasury, thus barely saving his family from being liquidated.

The shopkeeper turned around and led Li Qiulian to the private room on the second floor.

The servant who went out to report the news also came back soon. When the shopkeeper went downstairs, the servant hurried forward to report: "The general said that Madam He wants to clear the place, so the fee for clearing the place will be included. She can take whatever she wants. We will make an account book and send it to the He family in ten days or half a month."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he knew that their general was trying to cheat, so he gave an order and asked all the customers to leave the shop. He also gave each of them a silver hairpin as an apology.

The guests happily left with the silver hairpins, but Li Qiulian didn't know that these free gifts would all be counted on her.

Soon, the store door was closed, and a sign saying "Closed" was hung outside. Only a side door was left open, and a servant was guarding the door. The shopkeeper personally received Li Qiulian, and presented the most expensive jade jewelry to her one by one. He kept brainwashing her, "Madam, you are so lucky. Almost half of the people in the city came to watch the wedding banquet yesterday, and many people were given wedding candies. I was one of those who got wedding candies. I also saw the imperial chariot when Madam got married to Lord He. The He family is so majestic, and others are envious."

The shopkeeper said everything Li Qiulian liked to hear.

Li Qiulian smiled and asked, "I think the shopkeeper knows a lot about these jewels. Look at me and see which one is suitable for me."

“This, this, and this…” The shopkeeper was referring to jade and jadeite, which were of the best quality and most expensive.

Nanny Fang took a quick look, picked up the gold bracelet next to her, and said, "I think this one looks good."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "It does look nice, but noble people usually like to wear jade or jadeite."

"Then I want the jadeite. This set, pack it all up and send it to your house." Li Qiulian held her hair and stood up, saying, "Do you know how to get to the He family?"

"Yes, yes, I know where the He Mansion is. Madam He, don't worry. I will have someone pack these things and send them to the mansion. Our master said that you can take whatever you like."

Nanny Fang picked up the gold bracelet and said, "Madam, this gold bracelet is good. I like it."

"Pack the small one as well." Without waiting for Li Qiulian to speak, the shopkeeper took the gold bracelet from Nanny Fang and secretly recorded it in the account book.

Li Qiulian felt that the items in this jewelry store were more novel and beautiful than those in other jewelry stores, so she asked the shopkeeper to pack up ten sets of headwear at once. She planned to change out a set of headwear every day.

After Li Qiulian left, the shopkeeper walked into Xie's house with the bill. Xie Ci also immediately sent the bill to the palace and handed it to Xie Jinyun.

Xie Jinyun stared at the numbers in the account book. Li Qiulian really swallowed up a mountain of gold and silver in one gulp: "What a big appetite."

"She not only went to the shop under the name of the Empress to get things, she also went to several shops under the names of Chen State's aristocratic families. Many of them wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to bribe Madam He. She planned to start with Madam He and smooth the relationship with He Yuanzhou. Therefore, the things in the shop were also tried to satisfy Li Qiulian's appetite as much as possible. On this trip, Li Qiulian took over two Li family businesses and enriched her own pocket and private treasury." Xie Ci said.

Gu Changning was tired of reading the memorials, so he moved closer to Xie Jinyun and said, "Let those noble families who were robbed also make an account book, so that He Yuanzhou won't refuse to help them and deny the account."

Xie Jinyun chuckled and looked at Gu Changning who had a bad idea on his face and said, "Your Majesty is really good at making plans for his subjects."

"You bribed me right under my nose, treating me as if I were dead and the Chen Kingdom was destroyed, yet you still tried to preserve your position and reputation by colluding with the ministers of the Yan Kingdom."

Gu Changning scanned the list Xie Ci sent.

One more list isn't it.

He secretly took note of these noble families and already had a plan in mind.

"Let's do as the emperor says." Xie Jinyun looked at his elder brother and said, "We need to warn these noble families and ask them to record all the accounts that Madam He took away and wait for instructions."

"Yes." Xie Ci responded.

At this time, He Yuanzhou had no idea that a disaster was about to happen.

Li Qiulian has two faces. In front of him, Li Qiulian behaves gentle and dignified. But as soon as He Yuanzhou leaves, her true colors are revealed. She uses He Yuanzhou's official power to make money wantonly.

But He Yuanzhou was looking forward to their future.

At dinner, Li Qiulian put down her bowl and chopsticks, looked at He Yuanzhou and said, "Husband, my brother is here to look for me."

He Yuanzhou paused, put down his chopsticks, and asked, "Where is he now?"

"He is at the inn. I plan to bring him to the mansion to meet you tomorrow. Oh, and my mother is here too."

"Your mother?" He Yuanzhou frowned slightly, thinking of Aunt Ding, and smiled, saying, "Are you missing Aunt Ding, or is it too boring to live in the mansion? If you feel bored, you can recite poems and paint in the courtyard. You can use my studio at will. Of course, if you want Aunt Ding to come to the mansion to accompany you, that's fine too. Our mansion will be lively in the future."

Li Qiulian shook her head and said, "It's not Mother Ding, it's my mother."

He Yuanzhou was stunned: "You are not my parents..."

"My parents are not in Chen, but they have been in Yan. This time, my brother and I came to Chen for business. Because of the war between the two countries, my brother and I got separated. I was too embarrassed to go back to face my parents, so I have been wandering around Chen, looking for my brother. Now the news that you are going to marry me has spread back to Yan, and everyone knows that you have been looking for me everywhere. That's how my brother found me, and he brought my mother with him. Now that you and I are married, it's time for me to meet my relatives."

Li Qiulian's voice was still as gentle as before, but after hearing her words, He Yuanzhou felt like he had swallowed ten thousand dead flies.

He stood stiffly without any reaction for a long time. After all, in He Yuanzhou's heart, Li Qiulian was just an orphan who lost her brother and whose parents were no longer in this world. But now Li Qiulian told him that she would take him to meet her relatives. Was this considered... deception?

"What's wrong?" Seeing that he was slow to speak, Li Qiulian's smile faded. She frowned slightly and asked, "Does my husband dislike my relatives with this attitude?"
