I embezzled 100,000 taels at the beginning, and the empress begged me to be more greedy

The atmosphere in the living room was a little subtle.

Chen Chong's eyes were always on Jiang Zuo in front of him, and his face was filled with joy that could not be concealed.

"I wonder how Mr. Jiang and my daughter met?"

Chen Chong asked curiously.

Jiang Zuo said: "When your daughter went to Daizhou for business, I met her by chance, so we made an engagement."

"So that's how it is. My daughter has indeed been to Daizhou before." Chen Chong said with a kind smile, "Come, Mr. Jiang, please have some tea."

Jiang Zuo said: "I have done a lot of silk fabric business in Anding County before, and I have also cooperated with Boss Chen."

"That's right, that's right."

Chen Chong smiled and nodded, but he actually had no impression at all. Thinking that someone of Jiang Zuo's status and position would actually take the initiative to come to him and propose marriage, Chen Chong felt very honored.

Although the Chen family is a wealthy merchant family, they have no backing in the court. If they could become relatives with Jiang Zuo, wouldn't they become a prominent family overnight?

Jiang Zuo slowly put down the teacup in his hand and finally asked, "I wonder if your daughter is at home now?"

Now there was only one thing in his mind, and that was to meet Siyue.

Chen Chong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, I'll have someone call her over right away."

Hearing this, Jiang Zuo became even more nervous and expectant.

I haven't seen Siyue for more than half a year. I believe she is still as beautiful as before.

Now Jiang Zuo no longer wanted to listen to any other sounds and only wanted to reminisce with Siyue.

"Master Jiang's name is well-known in Yan State. Previously, the entire capital was discussing Master Jiang."

Chen Chong smiled again.

"is it?"

Jiang Zuo's gaze was still looking out the door.

"It is my daughter's great fortune that Mr. Jiang took the initiative to come to my house and propose marriage."

Chen Chong still couldn't believe such a good thing.

I don't know how long I waited, but finally I heard footsteps coming from outside the door.

Jiang Zuo's heart began to get nervous again.

Before the person arrived, the shadow appeared in the corridor.

A moment later, a plump woman appeared in front of everyone.

"Whose daughter is this?" Jiang Zuo thought.

"Come, Ruyue, meet Mr. Jiang." Chen Chong said with a smile.

"Ru, Ru Yue?" Jiang Zuo's eyes were full of confusion.

This isn’t right. Where is the beautiful girl Siyue that Jiang Zuo thinks about day and night?

The girl Ru Yue in front of me weighs at least 200 kilograms.

Girls from wealthy families always have good food.

The problem is, this is not Miss Siyue!

Jiang Zuo was dumbfounded on the spot.

"I've met Mr. Jiang."

Miss Ru Yue's voice was gentle and pleasant, forming a sharp contrast with her figure.

"Master Chen, do you have other daughters?"

Jiang Zuo's face darkened.

The girl he wanted to propose to was not the young lady in front of him at all.

Chen Chong also sensed that the atmosphere was not right and said, "I only have this one daughter. Isn't Mr. Jiang going to propose marriage?"

"No, this may be a misunderstanding..." Jiang Zuo's eyes were dull and he turned his head to look at Master Guo.

No wonder Chen Chong was so polite, it turned out he was in a hurry to marry off his daughter.

But Jiang Zuo is looking for Chen Siyue, not the heavyweight Chen Ruyue.

Master Guo was also stunned, thinking that there was indeed something wrong with this Miss Chen. How come she had grown so much bigger after not seeing her for a few months?

"Sir, it's my fault. We may have found the wrong place."

At this time, Master Guo had already understood the situation and took the initiative to rescue Jiang Zuo.

The smile on Chen Chong's face froze immediately, and he said, "I'm sure you found me correctly. I am Chen Chong."

Master Guo pressed again: "By the way, sir, we are looking for Chen Song. We went to the wrong door. I am really careless and confused. Please forgive me, sir."

"Uh... So that's how it is."

Jiang Zuo's forehead was already covered with sweat, and he quickly stood up.

The smile on Chen Chong's face disappeared, and he said, "Mr. Jiang, since you are here, then..."

"Master Chen, we may have a chance to cooperate in business again. I have something urgent to attend to today, so I'll take my leave now!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Jiang Zuo hurriedly wanted to retreat.

Chen Chong frowned: "This... Mr. Jiang is not proposing marriage anymore?"

Jiang Zuo's face was calm, but he was already furious inside.

How can I even bring this up!

"I'm sorry, Boss Chen. This is a misunderstanding. We really went to the wrong place. We'll come back another day to apologize. Bye now."

Jiang Zuo said this, and turned to look at Master Guo. His eyes seemed to be saying two words: "Run!"

This is really a big mistake!

If Jiang Zuo were asked to marry Miss Ru Yue, he would definitely not agree.

"Hey, wait, Mr. Jiang, why don't you stay and have a quick meal?"

Chen Chong stood up and tried to keep him.

"Definitely next time."

Jiang Zuo didn't even turn his head back and hurriedly left Chen Chong's house with Master Guo.

Only after walking out of Yude Street did Jiang Zuo stop and breathe heavily, fearing that Chen Chong would chase him out and try to keep him.

"Sir, what's going on?" Master Guo was quite confused.

"How do I know?"

Jiang Zuo himself was even more confused.

"Is there a possibility that Miss Chen is not Chen Chong's daughter?"

Master Guo speculated.

Jiang Zuo had already guessed it. They had always had a preconceived notion that Chen Siyue was Chen Chong's daughter, so they went directly to Chen Chong's family to propose marriage.

Master Guo added: "Maybe the previous address is correct. We didn't go to the wrong place."

"Let's go again."

As he was speaking, Jiang Zuo led his group back to Jude Street.

No matter what, I have to propose marriage today. I can't come to the capital for nothing.

Jiang Zuo arrived at the door of the mansion and knocked again.

The servant went out again and asked, "Why are you all here again? Is there something important?"

Jiang Zuo asked: "Excuse me, does Miss Siyue live here?"

Hearing this, the servant's expression changed slightly, but he quickly shook his head and said, "No."

Jiang Zuo's brows suddenly furrowed.

Now I have searched in both places, but I can't find Siyue at all.

"Excuse me then."

Jiang Zuo said helplessly.

The door of the mansion closed, leaving Jiang Zuo standing there in a daze.

"Hasn't this been investigated before?"

He murmured and pressed.

"Didn't Miss Chen tell Lord Jiang about her family background?"

Master Guo asked.

This question stumped Jiang Zuo.

"Yeah, did she say that?"

Jiang Zuo murmured.

After so many days, he has forgotten whether he had said these words before.

"That's impossible. Siyue wouldn't lie to me."

Jiang Zuo said secretly.

After all, I had corresponded with her so many times before and we had always been in touch with each other, how could I be wrong?

"Master, no matter what, find Miss Chen's home within two days."

Jiang Zuo ordered.

Jiang Zuo will not leave the capital unless he can propose marriage.

But if he stayed too long and was discovered by the Empress's people, he might have a lot of troubles.

Jiang Zuo felt even more depressed because he couldn't see Siyue today.

Should I write another letter and send it to that address and see how it goes?
