I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei was in a state of confusion, his heart beat faster and his breathing became irregular.

She had never felt this way before, and her palms were sweating from nervousness.

"I, I will be sad too. If you die, there will be no one to paint the flowers for me, and it will affect my income!" Ji Xiaobei said it all in one breath.

In the darkness, Fu Jichang gave a knowing smile: A woman who is only interested in money.

"After I die and my grandmother passes away, everything in the Fu Mansion in the capital will be yours. I guarantee you will have no worries in your life. Also, you and your children will have no worries in their lives..."

Fu Jichang spoke slowly.

Ji Xiaobei's body tensed up and he almost fell off the stool.

He, he knows everything?

"You, what are you talking about... I'm leaving..." Ji Xiaobei stood up, pushed the door open and ran away.

Seeing her hurriedly running away, Fu Jichang's eyes turned red.

Leave something for her so she can die without regrets!

He has asked He Ye to sort out the accounts of the shops in Beijing. When he dies, He Ye will hand over everything to Ji Xiaobei.

As for Madam Gui, he entrusted the matter to Xuyou and Yongheng.

As soon as he died, they would take Mrs. Gui to her estate in the suburbs, where she would spend her life atonement.

He felt his strength slowly dissipating.

He turned his body with difficulty and took out the purse from under the pillow.

Carefully stroking the word "North".

After all, he owed her!

Let this matter disappear along with his body!

He exhaled, put the purse to his chest, and slowly closed his eyes.

The night is deep and heavy!

Ji Xiaobei ran back to the textile workshop and groped his way back to his room.

The blush on her face has not yet faded.

She washed her face twice hastily before she regained consciousness.

I opened my space and wrote a reply to Zheng Guo...

.

Prefect Liang frowned, looking extremely worried, and walked back and forth in the bedroom with his hands behind his back.

"Master, it's late at night. You should go to bed and have some rest. You've been shaking me so much that I feel dizzy!" Mrs. Liang sat up and said angrily.

"Hey, Judge Fu has been in the capital for several days and there has been no news. There are a lot of documents waiting for approval in the government office, all of which were handled by him. I am being urged to eat all day long!"

Prefect Liang sighed helplessly and sat on the bed.

"Master, the magistrate is not here, just approve it..." Mrs. Liang reached out and rubbed his waist.

"Criticize him, what the hell? He was in charge of the tax collection and corvée conscription in several counties of Anzhou Prefecture, which angered many gentry. If I get involved now, wouldn't I be asking for trouble? What do you know, a woman with long hair and little knowledge?"

Prefect Liang pushed his wife's hand away.

Mrs. Liang lay down in anger and ignored him.

But he was still angry. He had been sleeping in the government office every night for the past few days. He finally went to the backyard to sleep, but he was still in such a bad state.

Mrs. Liang said, "Your mind is on official business, so please pay attention to your children.

I am a stepmother, it is not good to control too much, and if I control too little, you will complain that I don't discipline my children. Your son Yuhui beat up Madam Song's nephew, and Madam Song came to my house and scolded me. I was counting on Madam Song to use her connections in the capital to find someone to help you get promoted to an official position in the capital, but now I have offended her!"

Prefect Liang turned his head and looked at his wife: "Yuhui, Yuhui got into a fight? No wonder he didn't come back a while ago, it turns out he was feeling guilty, he's grown up and his wings have become hard. When will he take a day off next time?"

Madam Liang curled her lips and said, "After the Autumn Examination, he and Yuyao have grown up. You need to explain some truths to them. They have been wild since they were young because they were without their mothers. And what about Yuyao's marriage? What do you think? She is at the right age now. If we don't rush to arrange it, the sons of the powerful and wealthy in the capital will have been settled. There will be nothing we can do by then. Madam Song said that the family of the Minister of Rites..."

"Alright, alright, I'm so tired all day, how can I take care of this? You worry too much about Yuyao's marriage, I don't understand the affairs of a girl..."

Prefect Liang yawned and put his arm around his wife's waist.

"Master, please don't be anxious. Listen to me. Madam Song came the other day and saw our Yu Yao. She said that the family of the Minister of Rites in the capital had asked her to find a well-educated and well-mannered girl. Minister of Rites, if you can get married to her, your career path will be smooth, and Yu Hui will also benefit from it in the future. Yu Yao is eloquent, beautiful, and smart. She will be rich and prosperous after she gets married..."

"Ah, the family of the Minister of Rites, Madam, you are overthinking it. How could he fall in love with the daughter of a mere prefectural governor..."

Prefect Liang raised his dazed eyes to glance at his wife, then lowered his head to remove her underwear...

"Master, seriously, Mrs. Song can still tell lies... Don't move, listen to me... Ah..."

Mrs. Liang's words were blocked, and she softened into a puddle of mud...

In the backyard room, Liang Yuyao was rummaging through boxes and cabinets looking for something.

"Girl, what are you looking for?" Danfeng asked with tears in her eyes.

She regretted telling the girl what she heard. The girl couldn't eat or sleep well in the past few days and lost weight.

But if I don’t tell the girl, she might not even know if she is sold by the lady one day.

The girl had been waiting for Master Liang for several days, but Master Liang did not come to the backyard and had been handling official business in the front.

Just now, the girl saw the master coming to the backyard and gave him the prepared pastries. Master Liang looked tired, and the girl swallowed her words back.

The girl is too kind-hearted, that's why she is bullied by the lady and ignored by the master.

"found it……"

Liang Yuyao was holding a box, looking excited.

Danfeng recognized this brocade box. It was given to the girl by the lady before she left. It was left as a dowry for the girl.

Liang Yuyao opened the brocade box, and the room was suddenly illuminated by golden light.

The two beads inside emit a bright light.

"Danfeng, these two beads... If something happens to me, you can send these two beads to Miss Ji, one for her and one for Yuhui. I will write her a letter..."

Danfeng was so frightened that her face turned pale as she stared at the girl who had a calm expression on her face.

"No, girl, you will be fine. This pearl is left to you by the lady. You must keep it well!"

Danfeng said while crying.

Liang Yuyao put the box away, pulled her to sit on the bed, took off a golden hairpin from her head and put it on her head, and wiped away her tears.

"Good Danfeng, I can't protect you in the Liang family anymore. Take the beads and go find Miss Ji. She is a good person and will treat you well. Don't you admire her too and want to be a straightforward woman like her..."

"No, young lady, Danfeng is wrong. Danfeng is not an open-minded woman. Danfeng only wants to serve you..."
