Forced to be a concubine, I went to my husband's place to become a wealthy merchant

Thinking that they had been here for a long time, it was time to leave, so Ye Xi leaned over to Pei Zhu's ear and expressed her intention to leave. Pei Zhu frowned, thinking that this was inappropriate, but seeing that Ye Xi's face was indeed not very good, he still said to Yang Jian: "Mr. Yang, my wife seems to be not feeling well, I'm afraid I have to leave first."

Yang Jian stood up and walked to Pei Zhu: "Mr. Pei is in a serious condition. Since Mrs. Pei is not feeling well, you have to go home early. I will take you out."

Pei Zhu was flattered. Yang Jian had always seemed to have ignored him, but attending the banquet today broke many conventions. Pei Zhu bowed and said, "Young Master Yang, please stay. We can leave on our own."

Yang Jian smiled and led the way: "No problem, please."

Pei Zhu stopped refusing and helped Ye Xi walk out. Although Kuang Zhen was a guest, he also stood up to see them off. It seemed that he had something to discuss with Yang Jian and did not leave with Pei Zhu.

After sending Pei Zhu away, Kuang Zhen looked at Yang Jian meaningfully and said jokingly, "You've gone through so much trouble just for a little girl, and you've even dragged so many people along to put on a show. It must be hard work for you."

Yang Jian said nothing and walked directly to the inner hall. Kuang Zhen followed behind him. When they were about to return to the banquet hall, Yang Jian suddenly said, "It's worth it."

Kuang Zhen understood the meaning of this sentence, but as a singer, he just wanted to watch the fun, and he didn't care about other things. When he returned to the banquet hall, the singing and dancing had been removed. "Mrs. Kuang" stood aside and seemed to be waiting for instructions. After a glance, Kuang Zhen ordered: "You go down first and wait in the carriage. I will talk to Master Yang for a few words."

"Yes, I'll take my leave." After saying that, the maid who played "Mrs. Kuang" left first.

"Has Lord Wei, the Minister of War, really been transferred to Suzhou?" Kuang Zhen asked.

"The transfer order has already come down and the people have arrived. There is still time for leave." Yang Jian replied.

"I heard that Lord Wei is here mainly to select military officers. Is he preparing for a war?" Kuang Zhen was worried about this.

"It shouldn't be. It's just a normal selection."

"If you need to purchase military supplies, I wonder if we can get a share?"

Yang Jian glanced at Kuang Zhen. Merchants pursue profits. According to the information he had obtained, although the border was peaceful at present, daily military supplies could not be in short supply, so after the Minister of War settled down, there should be a move to purchase military supplies. However, he usually gave Kuang Zhen a lot of benefits. This time, he just asked him to help perform a play and then asked him to share his military supply orders. This was not acceptable. However, he said, "If there is such an opportunity, the military office will naturally issue a notice. Let's wait."

Kuang Zhen understood the deep meaning as soon as he heard it, and said with a smile: "Of course, it must be right to listen to Master Yang." Suddenly he thought of something: "Speaking of which, I heard that Lord Wei was attacked a year ago. I wonder if the murderer has been caught?"

"Of course he was caught. I heard that the murderer died after being tortured for several nights."

"Lord Wei is the grandson of the Duke of Huguo, and now he is appreciated by the emperor. The other party dares to do such a cruel thing. He really doesn't know how to live or die."

Yang Jian had a blank expression on his face. Seeing that Yang Jian was not in a good mood, Kuang Zhen thought that he had been bothering her for too long, so he asked to leave. After Yang Jian sent Kuang Zhen away, he called the capable maidservant in the house.

This person was none other than Liusu.
