The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

After the bundle was opened, various jewellery were found inside.

"Master, Madam, my cousin tried to escape with her bag last night, but we stopped her."

In the middle of the night, everyone was groggy, and the cousin took the opportunity to escape through the window. Fortunately, the eldest lady had reminded them before, so they were more careful. Otherwise, if someone really escaped and took away so many jewelry, they would have a hard time explaining to the master and his wife.

Although she had rested for half a night and her mood had eased a little, Zheng's face was still pale. When she saw the package handed over by the servant, she was stunned at first, and then she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"It seems that you want to repeat your old tricks. First you sneaked away from home, and now you want to sneak away from the Jiang family."

"Aunt, I was forced to do this. I don't want to go home. Please forgive me this time. I promise to be obedient in the future and never do these wrong things again. I..."

"Wrong?" Zheng shook her head and interrupted Zheng Yan'er. "How have you ever considered these as wrong? If you really felt the slightest bit of guilt, you wouldn't have said those words last night. You're apologizing here now only because you're desperate and want to coax me again."

At first, she really didn't see Yan'er's true character, but after what happened last night, if she still believed the words of the person in front of her, she would be too stupid.

Zheng Yan'er choked. Zheng's gaze shattered her last glimmer of hope, telling her clearly that no matter what she said or did now, Zheng would no longer believe her.

Taking a deep breath, the pleading look on Zheng Yaner's face completely disappeared.

"Okay, you can send me home if you want, but the Zheng family is your mother's family after all. You are living a life of luxury in the imperial city, you can't just sit there and watch the Zheng family eat coarse food. How much silver do you want me to take back?"

At this point, Zheng Yan'er didn't want to hide anything anymore, and her greedy and shameless face was fully exposed.

"You're dreaming." Jiang Mushi's voice rang out.

He and Jiang Suining walked over together.

Looking at Zheng Yan'er coldly, Jiang Mushi was furious. "After all the things you have done, you still have the nerve to ask us for money. It's simply wishful thinking."

"I am wishful thinking? Ha!" Zheng Yan'er sneered, "I advise you to think it over carefully. If you give me some money, then everything will be fine. If you don't..."

"What if I don't give it to you?" Jiang Suining took over Zheng Yan'er's words.

The latter curled her lips, her smile full of threats, "Then I don't mind spreading the word. Your Jiang family is a big business, and you are an imperial merchant. If you get a reputation of being heartless, cruel and selfish, it won't be good, especially for you, aunt. Do you want to be stabbed in the back by those people in the Zheng family?"

"You bastard!" Zheng was furious and rushed forward and slapped Zheng Yan'er in the face.

Zheng Yan'er's head was hit and tilted to the side. The hatred in her eyes became stronger, but the smile on her face became more unrestrained.

"Either you pay me to keep quiet, or you kill me. Otherwise, I will not be able to live well, and your Jiang family will never have a clean reputation!"

She had gone to the imperial city for so long and worked so hard, so even if she had to leave, she absolutely could not leave empty-handed.

Zheng was furious, her chest heaving with anger, "You..."

"Okay." Jiang Suining said, "I can give you the money."

"Sui Ning..." Zheng turned her head to look at Jiang Sui Ning, with a look of disapproval.

She did think about giving her brother some money, but not under the threat of Zheng Yan'er.

"Mother, just think of it as losing money to avoid disaster." Jiang Suining smiled gently at Zheng with a soothing look.

Zheng pursed her lips and did not object.

Although Jiang Zhitong and Jiang Mushi both felt that they should not be threatened by Zheng Yan'er, Jiang Suining had already spoken, so they finally agreed.

Soon, Jiang Suining had someone prepare a bundle, which contained dozens of taels of silver, as well as some jewelry and ornaments.

"What do you mean?" Zheng Yan'er frowned, "I want silver."

"These are things I'm tired of seeing in my yard, so I'll just give them to you. I'll just treat it as sending away a beggar."

"Jiang Suining, who are you humiliating here? I..."

"You should be able to see that these things are not cheap. If you don't want them, I can give you a few more pieces of silver, but it's not as cost-effective as these."

"I……"

Zheng Yan'er wanted to refute, but was interrupted by Jiang Suining again.

"I advise you to quit while you're ahead. If you ask for too much, you may end up getting nothing."

Jiang Suining's words successfully silenced Zheng Yan'er.

She looked at the jewelry and ornaments in front of her. Apart from the other things, this jade cabbage carved from white jade must be expensive. Even if she continued to ask for money, she might not be able to get more...

"How about it, have you made up your mind, do you want it or not?" Jiang Suining asked.

Zheng Yan'er bit her back teeth and said, "Yes!"

Although Jiang Suining brought these things in order to humiliate her, there was no need for her to be so hard on the money in the current situation.

The things were in hand and the carriage was ready. Before Zheng Yan'er got on the carriage, she once again glanced hatefully at everyone in the Jiang family.

"Just wait, I'll be back!"

In response, no one from the Jiang family said anything else.

Jiang Mushi sighed only after the carriage left. "I always feel like Zheng Yan'er got it too easy. She did so many things, and yet we still have to arrange a carriage to send her back."

"Not only do we have to send her back, but we also have to ensure that she can get to the Zheng family safely." Jiang Suining said, "After all, if something happens to her on the way, it will probably cause trouble for the Jiang family."

She didn't know the tempers of Zheng Yan'er's parents, but if they were also difficult to deal with, if anything happened to Zheng Yan'er, they might take advantage of the situation and blackmail the Jiang family.

Jiang Zhitong said: "Sui Ning is right. I have already told the driver to take her to the Zheng family and hand her over to her parents."

"I'm afraid it's not enough." Jiang Suining shook his head and glanced at Jiang Zhitong, "Father, we should find some people to follow secretly. Just a coachman and a servant may not be able to keep an eye on Zheng Yan'er. Now that she has money in her hands, she may run away again after the first time."

Jiang Zhitong thought about it and nodded, "Okay, I will find some good people to follow her and make sure she returns home."

As for what happens after arriving at the Zheng family, that is none of their business.

"Sister, if you ask me, you were too generous just now. The jade cabbage is not cheap. Giving it to Zheng Yan'er is really a bargain for her!" Jiang Mushi said in a muffled voice. He naturally did not mean to blame Jiang Suining. He just felt particularly unhappy when he thought that Zheng Yan'er had blackmailed him before leaving.

Jiang Suining chuckled, "Do you think it's so easy to give her those things?"
