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

Lu Jingxian vaguely felt that Ye Jintang seemed to be taking charge of the Jiang family's affairs. Although she was a little nervous, for the sake of her own future, she still told Ye Jintang about the current situation of the Jiang family.

To put it bluntly, the Jiang family no longer has a head of the family. Jiang Mu, a playboy, is simply not capable of supporting the Jiang family. Now Jiang Lingshan has to interfere in everything.

If Jiang Lingshan was a smart person, Ye Jintang would definitely not show up. After all, she has a lot of things to do, and it is just a trivial matter, so there is no need to bother him.

Unfortunately, Jiang Lingshan only has ambition but no brains. Not long after Xiao Mo ascended the throne, she began to be plotted against. If this continues, the Jiang family will be wiped out sooner or later.

"The Jiang family's financial affairs are now in the hands of my aunt. She said that I come from a small family and cannot manage the Jiang family's huge assets."

Ye Jintang was so angry that she laughed. She had never heard of such a weird thing as letting an aunt be in charge of household chores.

"I will help you once. If you still can't manage the Jiang family well, I will personally arrange a marriage for Jiang Mu and marry him a powerful wife to support the Jiang family."

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will not let you down."

"Well, I will also arrange an official position for Jiang Mu, the playboy, and you can take the opportunity to teach him a lesson. I don't ask him to be very powerful, but at least he should not be too superficial."

"Yes."

At this moment, Lu Jingxian still didn't quite understand what Ye Jintang meant, but she soon understood.

Only half a day after Lu Jingxian returned home, the imperial edict arrived at the Jiang family.

Jiang Mu was conferred the title of Marquis of Yongding and granted the title of Shao Yin of Jingzhao Prefecture; Lu Jingxian was conferred the title of first-rank imperial decree and was not allowed to perform formalities when meeting the princess.

After the young eunuch finished reading the imperial edict, Jiang Mu and Lu Jingxian were both stunned. They didn't understand why the emperor suddenly issued an imperial edict to confer titles on them.

"Jingxian, pinch me, am I dreaming?"

After reluctantly sending away the eunuch who announced the decree, Jiang Mu excitedly held Lu Jingxian's hand, feeling a little dazed.

"My Lord, you are not dreaming."

At the same moment, Lu Jingxian was also quite excited. She was now the marquis's wife and a first-rank official. If Jiang Lingshan wanted to make trouble in the Jiang family again, she would not be so easy to talk to.

"Wait, the imperial edict just said that the emperor has granted me an official position, Jingzhao Shaoyin. What kind of position is this? I have only heard of Jingzhao Prefecture Yin but never Shaoyin."

"You will know when you go to Jingzhao Prefecture to take up your post tomorrow. Since it is an official position bestowed by the Emperor, it must be good."

"Well, I have to find someone to ask how I should be a marquis. How about asking my aunt?"

When Lu Jingxian heard that Jiang Mu was going to look for Jiang Lingshan, her heart skipped a beat. She quickly said, "Your Majesty, why don't you look for cousin Ziyao? He is in charge of the gambling house of the entire Tianqin Kingdom, and he is valued by the Queen and the Emperor, so he must be quite capable. After all, my aunt is a lady in the inner house. It's okay to ask my aunt about her daily life, but since this concerns your Majesty, it's better to ask cousin Ziyao."

When Bai Ziyao was mentioned, Jiang Mu couldn't help but shrink his shoulders.

"Cousin Ziyao is very fierce. I'm a little afraid of him."

"My Lord, how could you forget that you are now the Marquis of Yongding, so how could Cousin Ziyao be so mean to you?"

Jiang Mu's eyes lit up and he grinned. How could he have forgotten about this?

"Jingxian, please help me prepare a gift now. I will go find cousin Ziyao right away."

"it is good."

Things developed too quickly, completely beyond Lu Jingxian's expectations. She never expected that after Jiang Mu was conferred the title of marquis, he seemed to have become a different person almost instantly. After returning from Bai Ziyao, he stayed in his study alone and didn't see anyone.

In the past, all his friends would come to curry his favor when they heard that he had been granted a title, but he would never see them and would only come out of his study at dinner time.

In recent months, Jiang Mu has had several concubines around him. He rests in his concubines' rooms almost every day and has not rested with Lu Jingxian for a long time.

After tonight, he rarely went to other concubines but stayed in Lu Jingxian's room. The lights in their room were not turned off until midnight.

Early the next morning, Jiang Mu changed into a vermilion official uniform and went to Jingzhao Prefecture to take up his post.

As soon as he left, Jiang Lingshan came to find Lu Jingxian.

In the palace, Ye Jintang knew everything about the Jiang family. Naturally, the news that Jiang Lingshan was humiliated by Lu Jingxian reached her ears first.

"I said Lu Jingxian is a shrewd woman. She is more than capable of dealing with the brainless Jiang Lingshan."

Wu Shiyun stepped forward and handed a letter to Ye Jintang.

"Your Majesty asked me to check who Madam Qu received the silver from. I have already found out. Please take a look, Your Majesty."

Ye Jintang, who was reading the memorials from the court, was shocked when he took a look at the memorial in Wu Shiyun's hand.

"Why do you need to write it in a memorial? Is it possible that Jiang Lingshan is bold enough to accept money from several families?"

"Yes, there are five families involved with Li Shaojiang, and some are seeking a certain official position from Madam Qu."

Ye Jintang hurriedly took the letter and glanced at it quickly. She was so angry that she laughed.

How much does Jiang Lingshan need money? She would accept it if someone gave it to her. But does she also consider whether she has the ability to do it?

If she remembered correctly, Xiao Mo gave Jiang Lingshan a lot of rewards as soon as he ascended the throne. Not to mention the silver, just the farm, real estate, shops, jewelry, etc. amounted to more than 100,000 taels of silver.

With so much money, she could keep ten gigolos and spend their whole lives on them and still not be able to spend it all. So why should she get involved in this mess and accept other people's money?

Li Shaojiang is easy to deal with. She is Xiao Mo's only aunt, and maybe her plea will be of some use. But when it comes to the transfer of officials, she has no power or influence, so how can she possibly influence it? How dare she accept money from others to do things for them?

Ye Jintang really didn't know what to say to Jiang Lingshan, and she was already involved in buying and selling official positions. Did she forget that the Ye family was confiscated? Buying and selling official positions is a capital crime.

"Where is the emperor now?"

"The emperor is meeting with several generals in Qilin Pavilion right now."

"Oh."

Qilin Pavilion is the place where the sand table of the Qin Kingdom is placed. Xiao Mo is studying the matter of attacking the Western Rong.

"Send someone to watch over it. When the emperor is done and goes to the imperial study, let me know."

"Yes."

Wu Shiyun and Liu Yin were both pretty good at their jobs. They were fully capable of carrying out whatever she assigned them to do. This made Ye Jintang feel a lot more relaxed on a daily basis, as at least she didn't have to worry about trivial matters.

Xiao Mo was so busy that it was time for lunch. He didn't go to the imperial study but went straight to Ye Jintang's Wutong Palace. Whenever he was free, he would come to have lunch with Ye Jintang.

Before dinner, Ye Jintang showed him the report on the investigation of Jiang Lingshan.

"Your Majesty, do you have any ideas?"

"My aunt is so reckless. How can she be so greedy for money?"

"A gentleman should earn money in a proper way. If no one takes care of my aunt, sooner or later the emperor will follow her and ruin her reputation."

At this moment, Ye Jintang actually had the intention to kill. She was already busy enough, and now she had to waste her time on these trivial matters.

"I know that, but she is my only aunt, I..."
