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

It is evening.

After seeing his uncle off, Jiang Zuo still felt uneasy.

Now he still has a lot of tasks to do.

"Where on earth did Qin Yu go?"

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but wonder.

I haven't seen her in the mansion these two days.

Master Guo said, "Miss Qin went out early this morning and hasn't come back yet."

"Where on earth could she go? Could she have returned to the Qin family?"

Jiang Zuo guessed.

Ever since Qin Yu and Chen Qingyun met, she hasn't bothered Jiang Zuo too much, but Jiang Zuo still has a lot to say to Qin Yu.

With some doubts, Jiang Zuo returned to the mansion. After dragging his tired body after a day of dinner, he went for a walk in the courtyard and saw Qin Yu coming back from outside.

"Qin Yu."

Jiang Zuo called her.

"Huh?" Qin Yu stopped and looked at Jiang Zuo in confusion.

Compared to the previous few days, Qin Yu's expression was quite calm at this moment, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

"Where have you been these days? I have something important to tell you."

Jiang Zuo said in a calm tone.

Before this, the empress gave him a task.

But now facing Qin Yu, Jiang Zuo found it a little difficult to speak. After all, this time, he still had to use the Qin family, and if so, he would owe Qin Yu a favor again.

Qin Yu looked quite relaxed at this moment, and said, "I just came back from the palace."

"The Imperial Palace?" Jiang Zuo frowned, quite puzzled. "What are you going to do in the Imperial Palace?"

"Your Majesty summons me, so of course I have to go." Qin Yu said lightly.

"What? There is such a thing?"

Jiang Zuo was a little curious about what Chen Qingyun summoned Qin Yu for.

"I won't say any more to you. You don't really want to talk to me anyway."

Qin Yu said this and was about to turn around and leave.

"and many more……"

Jiang Zuo called her.

"What else?"

Qin Yu stopped.

"His Majesty summoned you to the palace. Is there something going on?"

Jiang Zuo asked.

"nothing."

Qin Yu said lightly, then turned and left, seemingly not wanting to pay any attention to Jiang Zuo.

Such a contrast, completely opposite to her previous self.

Now it was Jiang Zuo's turn to stand there in a daze, his curiosity growing even more.

"Could it be that the Emperor summoned Qin Yu to the palace in order to make Qin Yu leave me?"

Jiang Zuo guessed in his heart.

"That's not right. Siyue shouldn't be such a stingy person. Uh... it seems hard to say."

The more Jiang Zuo thought about it, the more confused he became. He even suspected that the empress was using threats to prevent Qin Yu from approaching him.

What happened in the past few days was so annoying that Jiang Zuo began to have wild thoughts.

After standing there for a while, Jiang Zuo finally came to his senses. He went to sit down under the pavilion, looked at the bright moon in the night sky, recalled all the past events, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Life in the capital is really tiring."

The next day.

Just as day broke, faint sounds of conversation could be heard outside the room.

Jiang Zuo didn't sleep that well, and the slightest sound would wake him up.

Half asleep and half awake, he listened carefully and it seemed that the sound of Qin Yu and Master Guo were communicating outside the door.

After tossing and turning for a while, Jiang Zuo finally got up despite his sleepiness, pushed open the door and took a look.

At this moment, in the courtyard in front of the room, the servants in the mansion were preparing for the ceremony. Someone brought a horse and came in front of Qin Yu.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?"

Jiang Zuo asked doubtfully.

Everyone raised their heads and looked towards Jiang Zuo. Master Guo said, "Sir, I am preparing the luggage for Miss Qin."

"Pack your luggage?"

Jiang Zuo hasn't reacted yet.

"I'm going back now."

Qin Yu led the horse over and packed the luggage.

"Why so sudden?"

Jiang Zuo was very confused.

It seemed that Qin Yu had become very different since she met the empress. It seemed that the empress must have told her something important, which led to such a change in Qin Yu.

So what exactly is it?

Qin Yu did not answer Jiang Zuo's words, but looked at him with a rather strange look. After a moment, he said, "I am going back to the Qin family. Take care."

"Is this what the emperor meant?" Jiang Zuo said in a low voice.

Qin Yu still didn't answer, and walked out of the mansion with his horse, saying, "Goodbye."

"I'll have someone escort you."

Jiang Zuo followed closely behind her.

Qin Yu waved his hand and said, "No need."

Now she was inexplicably colder, which made Jiang Zuo very uncomfortable.

The lively and pretty Qin Yu seemed to have disappeared.

"Could it be that she has given up on me?" Jiang Zuo's inner thoughts were quite complicated. He looked at Qin Yu's back with confusion.

"Qin Yu."

Jiang Zuo couldn't help but shout again.

Qin Yu stopped, turned to look at Jiang Zuo, and asked calmly, "Anything else?"

Jiang Zuo hesitated for a moment before saying, "Be careful on your way. When you arrive, you can write me a letter."

Qin Yu bit her lip and nodded silently. This time, she didn't say anything else and turned to walk out the door.

In this situation and scene, Jiang Zuo felt inexplicably melancholy.

"What happened to me today..."

Looking at Qin Yu's back, Jiang Zuo actually felt a little reluctant.

Thinking back to when I was in the South, I was used to Qin Yu's noise and disturbance. But today, seeing her so cold, I felt a little worried.

Perhaps the reason for all this was because she went to the palace to meet the empress yesterday.

In addition to feeling tired, Jiang Zuo felt a little more curious.

"Forget it."

Jiang Zuo shook his head, turned around and ordered his servants to secretly escort Qin Yu south. Jiang Zuo was still a little worried about letting her leave alone.

After finishing other trivial matters, Jiang Zuo finally

Today is Jiang Zuo's day off. Taking into consideration that Jiang Zuo is quite tired today, the empress specially lets Jiang Zuo rest for two days.

Given a chance, Jiang Zuo would naturally go and relax.

"Master, prepare the carriage and go wash your feet."

Jiang Zuo ordered.

He has never been to this bathing city opened by his own family.

I was very busy recently, let alone doing any entertainment activities.

After a while, Jiang Zuo walked out, ready to take a good look around this prosperous capital city.

"Prepare two masks," Jiang Zuo asked.

"Mask?" Master Guo was stunned for a moment before he understood. "Oh, I see."

After putting on a special mask made in Anding County, Jiang Zuo got on the carriage and headed for the most prosperous street in the city center.

With his current identity, he is the focus of discussion wherever he goes. Although not all the people in the capital know him, Jiang Zuo, it would be annoying enough if he were recognized.

Now Jiang Zuo just wants to have a moment of peace and quiet.

After getting off the carriage, Jiang Zuo slowly walked into his shop.

The specifications of this bath center are even larger than those in Anding County. After all, it is easier to make money from people in Beijing than in other places.

The revenue of this bath center in the past two months has far exceeded that of other branches.

As the boss behind the scenes, Jiang Zuo was naturally very satisfied.

At this moment, he was like a boss inspecting, watching the people coming and going around him...
