Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

When Xiao Mo saw Ye Jintang smiling, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his wife was not mad at Jiang Lingshan, the brainless one.

"My aunt was raised in a country farm since she was a child. She has never seen the world. Don't bother with her. Just don't let her enter the palace in the future."

"If my aunt had come to me just to make trouble for the sake of my offspring, I would naturally not have bothered with her. But this time she came to me to plead for Li Shaojiang, so I had to bother with her."

Hearing this, Xiao Mo felt mixed emotions and could only sigh.

Ever since he ascended the throne, he had always wanted to compensate the Jiang family, but the Jiang family had few members, and if they suddenly became extremely wealthy, he was really afraid that they would not be able to handle it. So he did not give the Jiang family any title, but only gave them some silver and houses, so that they could live a life without worries about food and clothing.

According to his plan, Jiang Mu will definitely be granted the title of marquis, and Jiang Lingshan will also be granted the title of lady and a rank, so that the Jiang family can be passed down from generation to generation.

But now they were actually involved in Li Shaojiang's case without knowing the consequences, and he really didn't know what to say.

If they were smart and wanted to personally fight for a future for the Jiang family, he would accept it. He had seen what kind of brain Jiang Lingshan had today. As for Jiang Mu, he was a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun. The two of them combined might not be as smart as Li Shaojiang, a strategist.

They were courting death by getting involved, and now they are being used as a knife by others, and they don't even know it.

Thinking of these things, Xiao Mo felt his head buzzing. The Jiang family had probably run out of luck as far as his mother was concerned, and no matter how powerful he was, he couldn't save them.

Xiao Mo, feeling very aggrieved, told Ye Jintang everything he was thinking.

"Jintang, please help me think about how to let Jiang Mu pass on the Jiang family safely. I don't ask him to make more progress, as long as he can be his playboy."

"That's it?"

Ye Jintang looked curious. Xiao Mo's requirements for the Jiang family were too low. She thought Xiao Mo would at least give the Jiang family a Wang Dangdang with a different surname.

“Well, I don’t want the Jiang family to just disappear like this.”

“This is neither difficult nor hard.”

"Jintang, my dear wife, if you have any good ideas, please tell me quickly. I really have no other ideas."

"I heard that Jiang Mu married the daughter of a minor official as his wife. Why don't you let me meet her? If she is a powerful one, the Jiang family will naturally be stable in the future. If she is a weak one, why not let them divorce directly? This way, the girl can escape from the suffering of the Jiang family."

Xiao Mo was a man who was not very clear about the twists and turns in the inner house. He felt as if he could understand everything Ye Jintang said, but he also felt as if he did not understand.

"Jintang, can you please be more straightforward? Why is the Jiang family such a sea of ​​suffering?"

"Today, my aunt said that she sent two more concubines to Jiang Mu. Together with the previous concubines and maids, Jiang Mu's backyard is extremely lively."

"Such a Jiang family is like a sea of ​​suffering for any mistress."

Xiao Mo thought so too. If he were the mistress of the Jiang family, he would have wanted to stab Jiang Mu twice. They got married when they were in decline, and they finally made it through. Now Jiang Mu is in such a state, how could his wife not be sad?

"Can a woman really change the current situation of the Jiang family?"

"Your Majesty, do not look down upon any married woman."

"Then I'll leave this matter to you. As a man, it's not appropriate for me to interfere in Jiang Mu's backyard affairs."

"Okay, I'll talk about it after I meet Jiang Mu's wife tomorrow."

After talking about family matters for a while, the two turned to talk about state affairs. Li Shaojiang's return to the capital was just a formality, to make an example of someone and make those who had ulterior motives behave themselves.

Today has been three days since Li Shaojiang returned to Beijing, and the capital has been in almost the same state of turmoil. Ye Jintang is kind of thinking about closing the net and resolving the matter.

"There is no rush for this matter. If the situation continues for a few more days, there will be no fish in clear water. I want to muddy the waters of the capital so that the city lord system can be abolished. Once the city lord issue is completely resolved, the other kings can return to the capital."

Abolishing the city lord system was just the beginning; taking back the fiefdom was his ultimate goal.

After he takes back all the fiefdoms, there will no longer be a system of enfeoffed kings in the Qin State, and he wants to bring the emperor's power to its peak.

"It seems that the emperor has already made up his mind?"

"Just a little trick."

Ye Jintang didn't know what Xiao Mo was going to do, so she simply didn't ask. There were so many things going on in the court, and she couldn't possibly be involved in everything. If she did that, she would probably be exhausted to death.

On the second day, Ye Jintang specially summoned Jiang Mu's wife Lu Jingxian to the palace to see her.

In the small pavilion of the Imperial Garden, Ye Jintang had just finished admiring the chrysanthemums with her two children. When Lu Jingxian came over, she asked the two children to go and play aside first.

"I've met the Queen."

"Get up, Luzhu will give you a seat."

Lu Jingxian was just the daughter of a minor official. She had never thought that one day she would meet the current queen. When Ye Jintang asked her to sit down, she did not dare to do so.

"Your Majesty, I am a humble woman, so it is more appropriate for me to answer while standing."

"It's okay, sit down."

Only after Ye Jintang said it a second time did Lu Jingxian finally dare to sit down.

At the beginning, Ye Jintang didn't tell her anything important, but just chatted with her about daily life. She brought up the topic several times, hoping that Lu Jingxian could complain about the current chaotic situation in the Jiang family, but she didn't respond, and even said that Jiang Mu had always been very good to her.

Ye Jintang thought that although Lu Jingxian was young, she was still quite shrewd. She knew that she and the Jiang family were one. If she started to say something bad about the Jiang family as soon as she met Ye Jintang, the impression she made on Ye Jintang would be greatly reduced.

The two chatted about family matters for a while. Ye Jintang felt that Lu Jingxian must be a capable woman, otherwise, with the Jiang family in such a state, she would have collapsed long ago.

And now she has been talking to her without revealing anything that would disgust her, which is amazing.

"Jingxian, I won't beat around the bush with you. I will just tell you the reason why I called you into the palace today."

"The Jiang family may seem to be doing well at the moment, but they have already been targeted by many people with ulterior motives. If there is no one in the Jiang family who can take charge, I'm afraid it won't be long before they disappear from the capital."

"I believe you know Jiang Mu better than I do about what kind of person he is. The Jiang family needs a powerful mistress to plan for the future of the Jiang family. I wonder if you want to be the mistress of the Jiang family."

Ye Jintang's last sentence scared Lu Jingxian so much that she fell to her knees.

She was a smart woman and immediately understood what Ye Jintang meant. If she didn't obey, she would have no choice but to divorce Jiang Mu.

"Your Highness, I have always had a good relationship with Jiang Mu, and the reason why the Jiang family is in such a mess now is because of my aunt's instigation."

"Since you already know the problem, why don't you stop it? You are Jiang Mu's original wife, and you still have a say in the Jiang family."

"My aunt is of a higher generation, and I will be labeled as unvirtuous and unfilial. Even if I have a thousand abilities, I cannot make the decision."

At this point, Lu Jingxian has given up. If she doesn't fight for herself, she will be divorced.
