Does your husband only love his wife?I turned around and left the house to marry a villain
Chapter 753 The fish takes the bait
Lin Xing'er didn't understand what Xiao Sangwan said and left the Xiao Mansion.
Xiao Sangwan wanted to tell Lin Xing'er that as long as you are willing to turn back, abandon the man beside you, and return to the Wuding Marquis Mansion, the emperor will get rid of you for the sake of the Wuding Marquis Mansion.
Lin Xing'er only had Wen Rongchang in her eyes and heart, and she had no idea what Xiao Sangwan meant by "it's not too late to turn back."
After Lin Xing'er got on the carriage, she asked Aunt Xi, "Do you know what Cousin Xiao just said?"
Nanny Xi's face changed, and she whispered, "I heard that Miss Xiao and our Marquis were very unhappy before. Maybe it was because of this reason, or maybe she wanted to sow discord between you and the Marquis."
Lin Xing'er frowned: "She's already married, why is she trying to sow discord between me and the Marquis?"
Nanny Xi smiled and said, "Good girl, don't you think about what our Marquis is like now, and what the Jia family is like? Merchants are not as good as the Marquis who has a title."
"What you said... does make sense." Thinking of what Xiao Sangwan said, Lin Xing'er breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, she is leaving Yanjing City. I don't know when she will come back. I can save some worry and no longer have to be on guard against her rekindling her old relationship with my husband."
Aunt Xi smiled.
It's a joke that Lin Xing'er doesn't guard against the person next to her who she should be most on guard against, but instead guards against an imaginary enemy every day.
Of course, she also smiled. Her days as a slave were coming to an end. She just had to wait three more days. After three days, their Xi family would be able to become a big merchant. With the money earned from smuggling salt, they could become wealthy businessmen. What was wrong with being a merchant? As long as they had money, they could buy anything.
Little did they know that the net had already been cast, just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Late at night, four merchant ships docked at Huainan Yunjing Wharf and everything was ready.
Gu Changning sat in the council hall, waiting for news from Yunjing Wharf.
Xie Jinyun personally brought a midnight snack and said to Gu Changning, who had lost his appetite, "You have to eat something, otherwise you won't have the energy to wait for the good news."
Xie Jinyun pushed a bowl of bird's nest and white fungus soup in front of Gu Changning: "Do you want me to feed you?"
Gu Changning smiled and opened his mouth, waiting for Xie Jinyun to feed him.
Xie Jinyun picked up the spoon and fed the bird's nest and white fungus soup to Gu Changning's mouth. After taking a bite, Gu Changning hugged Xie Jinyun's waist and pressed his lips against her pink lips.
The night is long, and so is the wait, but with Xie Jinyun by my side, tonight seems especially comfortable.
Jiang Huai walked into the hall. Gu Changning thought there was news and asked excitedly, "Is there any news?"
Jiang Huai shook his head and said, "I came in to ask the Emperor and the Empress if they want to go back to the palace to rest first."
Gu Changning waved his hand and said, "No need. If there is no news, don't come in."
"Okay." Jiang Huai touched his nose, and when he walked out of the Council Hall, he closed the door and stood guard outside.
The moonlight grew rounder and rounder, illuminating the entire palace, and night watchmen were beating the clock to tell the time on the street.
The soldier who reported the news held a flag and said to the soldiers guarding the city: "There is an urgent report from Huainan Yunjing Wharf, open the city gate immediately."
The soldiers guarding the city did not dare to waste time and immediately opened the city gate to let them pass.
The soldier held the letter and rode his horse as fast as he could to the palace. When the sky was slightly bright, Jiang Huai's voice rang out outside the palace: "Your Majesty, there is news from Huainan Yunjing Wharf. Our two armies have captured all the salt smugglers."
It was bright.
Writer.
"Bang" sound.
Nanny Xi rushed into Wen Rongchang's room with messy hair, and Wen Rongchang was startled as he was about to go to the military camp for duty.
He subconsciously turned around to look at Lin Xing'er who was still asleep, then quickly closed the door and said, "Madame Xi, what's wrong with you?"
"My lord, you must save our Xi family." Nanny Xi knelt in front of Wen Rongchang, and without caring whether her crying would disturb Lin Xing'er, she told him about the Xi family's illegal salt sales.
After hearing what Aunt Xi said, Wen Rongchang was so scared that he took a few steps back. He pointed his finger at Aunt Xi's nose and said, "You, you... dared to smuggle salt behind my back. Now that something has happened, how dare you come back and ask me to save you? You, the Xi family, have caused this trouble yourself, so you should bear the consequences yourself. It has nothing to do with me."
"How can it be unrelated?" Seeing that Wen Rongchang didn't want to intervene, Nanny Xi said coldly, "The capital for smuggling salt came from our wife's shop."
"What did you say?" Wen Rongchang grabbed Madam Xi's clothes in a rage and lifted her up from the ground: "Say what you just said again."
Nanny Xi said, "What I mean is that the capital for this business was paid out from the shop under the name of Madam, and the money was paid out in the name of the Marquis, so the Marquis should not think of getting rid of me."
"You..." Wen Rongchang was so angry that he slapped Aunt Xi on the face and said angrily, "You lunatic."
"what……"
Nanny Xi rolled down the stairs and screamed, alarming Lin Xing'er.
Lin Xing'er opened the door and saw a pool of blood on the ground with two front teeth on it. Those were the silver teeth that Wen Rongchang had knocked out of Nanny Xi's mouth when he beat her.
Lin Xing'er saw Aunt Xi lying on the ground, exclaimed, and walked forward quickly: "Aunt Xi."
Wen Rongchang grabbed Lin Xing'er's arm and pushed her back into the room, saying, "Madam, you go in first. This wicked slave has committed a serious crime. I have to have someone beat her to death with sticks. Someone, come."
"Stop." Lin Xing'er stopped him.
Wen Rongchang turned around and stared at Lin Xing'er.
His eyes were bloodshot and filled with anger, which scared Lin Xing'er.
"Husband, husband, she is my nurse. What did she do wrong to make you so angry?"
"Madam, he is selling illegal salt." Nanny Xi covered her mouth and shouted loudly.
Wen Rongchang looked at Nanny Xi with murderous eyes.
Lin Xing'er heard clearly what Nanny Xi had just said.
After learning that Wen Rongchang was selling illegal salt, Lin Xing'er raised her hand to cover her mouth in disbelief. She gasped in shock and looked up at Wen Rongchang: "Husband, are you selling illegal salt?"
Seeing that he could no longer conceal the truth, Wen Rongchang confessed to Lin Xing'er, "Yes, I was indeed the man behind the previous case, but I have stopped."
"You, you..." What Lin Xing'er couldn't accept the most was Wen Rongchang's trafficking in illegal salt: "Do you know how my father died?"
Wen Rongchang frowned. He didn't know, and he had never tried to understand Lin Xing'er's background.
Lin Xing'er growled in despair, "My father secretly investigated salt smugglers and was murdered. I hate people who smuggle salt the most in my life, but my husband, you actually do such a business. My husband, we have enough money, there is no need to make that kind of illegal and dirty money. How could you do something that disappoints me so much?"
"I didn't do it again." Wen Rongchang explained to her: "Since the emperor settled the case of salt smuggling, I retired from the business, but she..."
Wen Rongchang told Lin Xing'er how Nanny Xi had led him to smuggle salt.
Lin Xing'er was so shocked that her eyes rolled back and she fainted from anger...
