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

"Yes, I didn't spend a penny." Hua Wuhen said, "I followed the instructions of the queen and secretly spread the word to the officials and noble families of Chen State. Lord He dotes on his new wife very much. As long as you please Madam He and Madam He mentions it to Lord He, you can avoid the crime of confiscating your property and being imprisoned."

"When these people heard the news, they all became good friends with Madam He. Li Qiulian accepted all gifts. She used Madam He's power to make a lot of money these days. She also used the help of Chen's noble families to get her brother Li Qingyue into the largest Shuhuaishan Academy in Chen as a teacher."

"However, I have found that after Li Qingyue entered Huaishan Academy, he was absent-minded and often went to the gambling house to gamble."

Hearing this, Xie Jinyun sneered: "It's impossible to support a wall with mud."

If Li Qiulian could live a peaceful life with He Yuanzhou, and He Yuanzhou stopped targeting the Xie family and the women of the Xie family, neither she nor the emperor would have the intention to kill them.

The fact that Li Qiulian was able to use He Yuanzhou's official power to amass so much wealth was also the result of He Yuanzhou's own evil deeds. He held great power but did not know how to restrain himself, making everyone think that with the emperor's orders, He Yuanzhou could kill everyone with a sword in his hand, making the entire Chen State bureaucracy afraid of the Supervisory Office.

It is good to be afraid of the Inspectorate, but He Yuanzhou is also very selfish.

If she and Gu Changning did not break the sword, it would definitely be pointed at the emperor in the future.

Looking at what Li Qiulian is doing right now and the actions of those aristocratic families below, one can see how strong He Yuanzhou's cohesion is.

"My queen, is it time to take action?" Hua Wuhen asked.

Xie Jinyun said, "Wait a little longer. When the heavy troops in front of Xuanming Palace withdraw, the palace door opens, and He Yuanzhou walks out of the palace gate, we can slowly close the net."

On the tenth day, the soldiers guarding outside the Xuanming Hall withdrew, the eunuchs opened the door of the Xuanming Hall from the inside, and the ministers walked out one after another.

At this time, in the Xuanming Hall, the tables in front of the ministers were piled with mountains of account books.

After ten days, a result was obtained, that is, the treasury under the management of Xie Li not only did not embezzle any stolen money, but also donated most of his property to help the State of Yan fight the war.

Gu Changning said to He Yuanzhou: "Do you have anything else to say to me?"

He Yuanzhou said: "Your Majesty, I have nothing to say."

"Okay." Gu Changning took out a list of names. This was the list of noble families that sent gifts to Li Qiulian. However, he asked Jiang Huai to copy another one, and then asked Jiang Huai to pass it to He Yuanzhou: "Do you remember what I told you when I asked you to come to Chen Kingdom?"

Without waiting for He Yuanzhou to reply, Gu Changning's eyes became sharper: "The knife I gave you is for the officials and noble families who oppose the Yan regime in Chen's internal affairs, as well as the external evil forces, but this knife cannot be used to kill your own people. During these days in Chen, you targeted the general and secretly investigated the thank-you gift, wasting my time and human resources, but allowed the Chen noble families to slander and spread rumors about Yan and me, which made me very angry."

Gu Changning slapped the table. Seeing this, He Yuanzhou quickly knelt on the ground, not daring to breathe heavily: "Your Majesty, I dare not forget your instructions. Please give me another chance. I will not let you down this time."

"I know your ability. You are not afraid of power, nor do you covet money. You are noble and honest. No one is a saint. I can tolerate your mistakes, but I hope you can focus on the key points next time. I don't employ people who I doubt. I still trust you so much, and I hope Lord He will not let me down."

He Yuanzhou lay on the ground, not daring to look up at Gu Changning, and replied tremblingly: "Yes, I dare not disappoint the emperor again."

"Leave the palace, go back home and take a good rest. I have plenty of time to wait for your news."

"I obey your order." As He Yuanzhou walked out of the Xuanming Hall, Xie Jinyun walked into the Hall right after him.

The emperor and empress looked at each other and smiled.

Gu Changning hugged Xie Jinyun for a long time and asked her about the situation of the Li family. Xie Jinyun said, "The chess game has been decided. We are just waiting for the emperor to collect the pieces."

"Hmph, He Yuanzhou..." Gu Changning narrowed his eyes slightly: "I will wait and see."

On the other side, after leaving the palace, He Yuanzhou did not return to the He Mansion, but went back to the Supervisory Office to change his clothes, shaved his beard, and then took a group of Supervisory Office guards to the Wei Mansion.

However, He Yuanzhou's trip was not smooth.

When He Yuanzhou's supervisory guards surrounded the entire Wei Mansion and prepared to search the house, Madam Wei took out an account book and said to He Yuanzhou, "Your wife took a lot of expensive rouge and powder, clothes, jewelry, and pearl hairpins and jade from our Rouge Shop. She promised us that she would speak well of you to Lord He, and our Wei family would be safe under the rule of the new emperor. Therefore, Lord He cannot search our Wei family, otherwise I will report you to the emperor for private bribery. This account book records all the things that Madam He and Madam Li took away."

He Yuanzhou opened the account book with a cold face.

Their family keeps accounts, not only marking the number of items, but also recording the year, month, day, time, how many people visited the store, and even the weather of that day. They remember it so clearly that it is irrefutable.

Just for the Wei family, he received a thick stack of account books.

The head of the Wei family even blatantly took out a box of gold, intending to use it to bribe the people in the Supervisory Office and buy off their connections.

He Yuanzhou couldn't believe that the account book in front of him was made by Li Qiulian. His Qingtang was not a vain person: "Impossible."

Madam Wei said, "If you don't believe me, ask Madam He to come to our house and confront us. Also, I heard that Madam He not only accepted gifts from our Wei family, but also went to the shops of the Wang family, the Yuan family, and the Tuoba family to take things without paying. We all gave gifts to you in the name of Lord He, hoping to make friends with the He family, but Lord He brought a group of people to the Wei family to confiscate our property. This is not very kind."

He Yuanzhou's face had already turned pale.

He was a man who cared a lot about face. He wanted both the integrity of a scholar and the power of a subject, so he acted very carefully and cautiously, making it impossible for people to find any evidence against him. However, his secrets were exposed in the backyard.

He still couldn't believe that Li Qiulian would do such a thing. While Madam Wei kept chattering, He Yuanzhou ordered the guards from the Supervisory Office to guard the gate of the Wei Mansion, and then took another batch of guards from the Supervisory Office to go to the Wang, Yuan, and Tuoba families.

The result is the same as Wei's.

He received account books from these noble families.

The items in the account book are all bad debts caused by Li Qiulian taking things from other people's stores without paying.

The most unpleasant words He Yuanzhou had ever heard in his life were "Your wife came to our store to buy things without paying, and we just considered it as a favor. So Lord He, you can't raid my house, otherwise I will sue you for taking bribes."

When he returned to the He family, he happened to see Li Qiulian and Li Qingyue arguing.

He stood outside the door, not letting the servants speak, but quietly listening to what Li Qingyue and Li Qiulian said:

"You gamble again. I gave you so much silver. If you want to squander the family like this, then go back to the Li family and stop being lazy and eating in my He family."

"Qiulian, how can you talk to your brother like this? It's not like you don't have money. Madam Wei just sent a box of silver yesterday. Take out the silver and pay your brother's gambling debts first. I'll teach your brother a lesson later. Besides, don't you know what our family is like now? If you ask your brother to go back to Jiangping County, he will definitely be hacked to death by the people in the casino. Don't even think about sending your brother back to Jiangping County. From now on, we will follow you to Chen Country."

"Mother, it's because you indulged him that the Li family's fortune was ruined. I finally married He Yuanzhou and had a few good days. Do you want to ruin it? The money that Madam Wei sent me was given to me for Yuanzhou's sake. It has nothing to do with Li Qingyue. I won't give him a penny."

When He Yuanzhou heard what Li Qiulian said, he suddenly raised his hand and pushed open the door...
