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

In the study, Jiang Zhitong looked at Jiang Suining who had come back, his face full of disbelief.

"What do you mean Fan Song might harm the Jiang family?"

"Father, I suspect Zeng Fansong wants to use this imperial merchant election to destroy the Jiang family." Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Zhitong, "Next, he is likely to take action on the fabrics that have already been made. This is why I tried so hard to get father to change the warehouse for storage."

"Is this what you said you wanted me to believe you?" Jiang Mushi on the side was very surprised.

Jiang Suining nodded.

Jiang Zhitong frowned, "Sui Ning, do you have any evidence for what you said?"

"I have no substantial evidence."

"Sui Ning, your great uncle and I have been good friends for many years. Although he has been a little too concerned about our Jiang family's campaign for the Imperial Merchant, this is also because he cares about me and hopes that our Jiang family can have a smooth campaign. He has good intentions."

"Then has he ever told father that he has a close relationship with Zhang Wangcheng, the Minister of Revenue who is in charge of the selection of the imperial merchants this time?"

"What?" Jiang Zhitong was stunned. "Sui Ning, where did you get this information from? How could he and Lord Zhang..."

"Zeng Fansong gave his wife's younger sister to Zhang Wangcheng as a concubine, and he also gave Zhang Wangcheng a lot of benefits in private. There were several times when Zeng's jewelry shop was found to be selling fake goods, and it was Zhang Wangcheng who helped suppress it secretly."

Jiang Suining looked at Jiang Zhitong seriously.

"If father doesn't believe it, he can send someone to secretly investigate, and he will surely be able to find out some information. If Zeng Fansong really wanted to do good for the Jiang family, why didn't he reveal this opportunity to father, let alone help father introduce him. He must be unaware of the importance of personal connections in the imperial merchant election."

Jiang Zhitong's expression froze. Fan Song sighed several times in front of him, saying that it was too difficult to have no connections, and even asked him several times if he had any connections with the court.

If what Sui Ning said was true, then... were Fan Song's words a test?

"Sui Ning, could there be any misunderstanding here? Fan Song and my father have known each other for many years, and the Jiang family and the Zeng family are doing different businesses, so there is no conflict. He..."

"What if they plot against my father? He and Zhang Wangcheng can make a lot of money from it?" Jiang Suining was silent for a moment, then told him all about the Zeng family's private purchase of fabrics at a high price, as well as her guesses.

Jiang Zhitong stood there in a daze. He was unwilling to believe that this guess could be true.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but think, if everything really happened as he guessed, then the Jiang family's efforts for several generations would be wasted...

"Father, I also know that it is hard to believe if I speculate without evidence, but this matter is related to the entire Jiang family after all. I hope you can trust me this time and take precautions early."

Although he had already made the decision, Jiang Suining still felt a little uncertain after he actually said this.

Will Jiang Zhitong really believe her?

I still feel that even if Zeng Fansong didn't tell him about Zhang Wangcheng, there must be other reasons behind it, and it is definitely not what I guessed.

"I believe you." Jiang Mushi said from the side.

What Jiang Suining said sounded incredible, and it was all speculation, but he was willing to believe Jiang Suining.

Jiang Zhitong looked at Jiang Suining in silence for a long time, and finally nodded and said, "Okay, Suining, your father believes you. Although I still think Fansong will not harm the Jiang family, but since you are uneasy, I will listen to you on what to do next."

Jiang Suining breathed a sigh of relief. With the cooperation of the Jiang family, she would be more confident in finding evidence.

"Father, we still have to secretly transport the cloth away, but there is one more thing we need to do after that..."

On the other side, the Zeng family.

"Brother, I didn't expect the Jiang family to be so fast and complete the project ahead of schedule." Zeng Fanhai, who had a pair of triangular eyes, spoke as he sat at the table.

"It doesn't matter. Even if it is finished ahead of schedule, as long as there is a problem with the fabric, there will not be enough time to make another batch." Compared to Zeng Fanhai, Zeng Fansong opposite him looked gentle and had a slightly blessed face, but his eyes were deep and gloomy.

"Brother is right. As long as we can take a bite of the Jiang family's fat meat, we will be able to make up for most of the losses in the past few years, and our shop will be saved."

Zeng Fansong glanced at his excited brother and picked up the teacup in front of him. "At times like this, we must not be too complacent. We must be careful with every step and not make any mistakes."

"Don't worry, big brother." Zeng Fanhai said, "The manpower and supplies are ready. I will find a chance to burn down the Jiang family's warehouse, and then it will be big brother's turn."

He couldn't wait to see the Jiang family's money go into the Zeng family's pockets.

In the blink of an eye, two more days passed.

All the fabrics of the Jiang family were finished and put into the warehouse.

But nothing happened in the past two days and everything was safe and sound.

At the Jiang family's dinner table, the atmosphere felt a bit heavy, so Zheng gave Jiang Suining's family a piece of pork chop.

"Sui Ning, don't think too much. If nothing happened in the warehouse, that's a good thing. And even if you guessed wrong, it doesn't matter. We all know that you are doing this for the good of the family."

Zheng had heard Jiang Zhitong talk about Jiang Suining's speculation. Although she also felt that this speculation was too unreasonable, she also knew that Jiang Suining was considering the Jiang family.

"Mother, I'm fine." Jiang Suining smiled at Zheng, picked up the ribs and took a bite, "Let's wait and see."

She hoped that her guess was correct, not because she was afraid that if nothing happened in the warehouse, the Jiang family would blame her for it.

But because, if she guessed wrong, it would mean that the Zeng family might have other means, which would make the situation even more uncontrollable.

After finishing the meal, Jiang Suining and Jiang Mushi returned to their rooms.

Zheng sat at the table and said to Jiang Zhitong, "Master, let's make it clear first. Don't blame Sui Ning for this matter. No matter what, she is doing this for the good of our family."

She really liked Sui Ning, but she was just too polite and tactful sometimes. If she was criticized for this incident, she would definitely be sad, and it might be even more difficult for her to get close to them in the future.

"Don't worry, of course I won't. How could I not understand that the kid has good intentions, but the Zeng family's guess is really hard to believe. But..." Jiang Zhitong frowned.

"But what?" Zheng asked.

"But I don't know why, but I've been feeling uneasy all day long." Jiang Zhitong sighed, "Maybe it's because of Sui Ning's flowers that I'm a little anxious."

The clouds covered the moon and it was getting late.

In the middle of the night, a panicked voice opened the door of the Jiang Mansion...
