The grass in the factory should be plucked

The man in the lead, although already in his forties, still had a handsome face and a refined temperament.

When he saw Xie Changan and the other two, he was slightly startled, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Thank you, sir, what a coincidence!"

When he saw Xie Chang'an carrying a sacrificial basket and accompanied by a petite girl in luxurious clothes, he thought that he was bringing his concubine to pay homage to his relatives.

Xie Changan responded coldly: "Master Jiang."

Jiang Li looked at the person who came, and her heart was filled with hatred involuntarily. The person in front of her was none other than her adoptive father - Minister Jiang Xiuyuan!

What was he doing here? Was he pretending to pay respect to his mother?

The hatred emanating from her was almost tangible, and Jiang Xiuyuan only felt a chill.

He was a little surprised. Why was this little girl staring at him?

He couldn't help but look at her a few more times, and inexplicably felt that the figure of this little girl in the veil was very familiar.

Xie Changan gently held Jiang Li's hand and said calmly, "Master Jiang, are you here to pay respects as well? I wonder which of Master Jiang's relatives is buried in this desolate mountain?"

Jiang Xiuyuan said a little embarrassedly: "She is a friend of mine. She has no relatives at home. I remember the past friendship and come to pay my respects to her every New Year and other festivals to show my gratitude."

In his heart, he couldn't bear to part with Fang Yi. Such a beautiful girl from the south of the Yangtze River, with a gentle and charming personality, if it weren't for his wife and mother...

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Lord Jiang is truly a man of deep affection and loyalty. I'm sure your friend will always be thinking of you even in his grave."

To Jiang Xiuyuan, these words sounded like sarcasm.

The castrated dog from the East Factory really has a weird temper!

He didn't want to talk to this "evil star" any more, so he bowed slightly and said, "I don't want to delay you, sir. I'll take my leave now."

"Please." Xie Changan made way.

Jiang Xiuyuan felt like a thorn in his side and hurried down the mountain.

He thought of the little girl's gaze staring at him through the veil, and he turned around and looked towards the mountain.

Xie Changan was seen holding the girl's hand with a doting look on his face and talking to her with his head down.

Jiang Xiuyuan then suddenly realized that the little girl's back was very similar to Fang Yi back then!

Xie Changan was coaxing the little girl: "Don't be angry. It's not worth it to get upset over these people. If you hadn't said that you would wait until you leave the palace to do it yourself, I would have killed them long ago."

Jiang Li was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes: "How dare he come to see my mother!"

She came to Fang Yi's tomb angrily.

Sure enough, their offerings from yesterday had been cleared away, and replaced with offerings placed by Minister Jiang, with a few white plum blossoms inserted as a hypocritical gesture.

Jiang Li stepped forward and kicked the offerings away, then squatted in front of Fang Yi's tomb angrily: "Mother, are you very angry when you see him?"

"Don't worry, your daughter will definitely seek justice for you!"

She secretly said, I will also help you avenge that "Jiang Li"!

Xie Changan took out the offerings from the basket one by one and placed them in front of Fang Yi's tomb.

He pulled Jiang Li to kneel down, kowtowed several times, and said: "Mother-in-law, don't worry, I am devoted to Xiao Li Nu. Her affairs are my affairs. We will avenge you in the future."

Jiang Li said proudly: "Mother, take a look at your future son-in-law, is he good? If he dares to bully me, you can scold him in my dream!"

Xie Changan was both amused and annoyed, and could only reassure again and again: "My son-in-law will always be faithful to my little raccoon. I will do my best to protect her from worries for the rest of her life. My mother-in-law, please rest assured and leave her to me."

After they finished sweeping the tomb, Jiang Li asked again, "Brother Changan, where are your parents buried? Aren't we going to pay our respects to them?"

Xie Changan said calmly, "We don't know where their bodies are, and they didn't leave any relics. We can't even build a cenotaph for them."

All we can do is light two lamps for them in the temple and burn some paper money and incense every year.

Their family fled from famine. Their father was a scholar who was weak and frail, and their mother was a delicate and decent woman.

The two of them had already died on the way due to illness and hunger.

At a young age, Xie Changan came to the capital alone with people fleeing famine and mingled with a group of beggars.

If he had not been spotted and taken away by Liao Wuyong, he would have been reincarnated long ago.

"Brother Changan," Jiang Li held his hand with pity, "In the future, I will burn paper money for the two elders with you, hoping that they will be reborn into a good family in the future and no longer suffer."

Xie Changan hugged her and whispered, "I only have you, and you only have me. From now on, we will depend on each other."

"Okay." Jiang Li put her arms around his waist and pressed her face against his chest.

The little eagle dropped from the sky and landed on Xie Changan's shoulder. He said angrily, "There's me too! There's me too! Why do you keep forgetting about Chengfeng?"

Xie Changan smiled and said, "Yes, I also have Chengfeng."

He glanced at Jiang Li and said, "You have more than one sister. She also has Shushu, Huahua, Xiaobai, Huzi..."

Jiang Li rolled her eyes at him. This guy is even jealous of rats!

Jiang Xiuyuan returned to the mansion in a state of anxiety. His wife, Yu, came out to greet him and said angrily, "We have lost two shops, and the harvest of the farm has also been reduced by half. Our three young masters go to the accounting office every day to withdraw money to buy this and that. There is not much money left in the account. We can't make it through this year!"

Jiang Xiuyuan was troubled: "The Fang family's huge fortune was handed over to you, but it's only been a few years and you've squandered it all? How on earth do you manage the family?"

Yu was furious: "So you have no money to spend? Today you said you want to buy calligraphy and paintings, tomorrow you said you want to buy antiques, which one is not priceless?"

Jiang Xiuyuan said angrily: "Let's not talk about this. How is Ah Li doing in the palace? Why don't you go and ask!"

Yu sneered: "Your good daughter has angered the emperor and has been banished to the cold palace long ago!"

"What?" Jiang Xiuyuan stood up suddenly, and his vision went dark.

Ah Li is only fifteen this year! Is she going to waste her whole life in the cold palace?

How could he have the face to see Fang Yi when he was in the afterlife? No, he had long since lost the face to see her.

Jiang Li returned home, still angry, so he went to find Manager Liu.

"Uncle Liu, how many shops does my mother still have in the hands of the Jiang family?"

Manager Liu said, "There are still four in the capital. I have gradually taken back most of the ones in Hangzhou Prefecture, and there are still three or four. There are still quite a few in Zhuangzi."

"Zhuangzi is fine. As long as it is recorded on the dowry list, I can take it back later." Jiang Li snorted, "I have already got my mother's dowry list."

"Really?" Manager Liu smiled happily. "Then those shops are the only ones left. When spring comes, Uncle Liu will do his best to bankrupt them as soon as possible."

"That's great! Thank you Uncle Liu in advance!" Jiang Li said with a smile.

Manager Liu smiled and said, "It is because of your ability, Miss. With the support of Lord Xie and the East Factory, our business was able to establish itself in the capital so quickly."

Jiang Li whispered, "In fact, we have the Prince of Jin, the Queen, and the Duke of Zhenguo behind us. Uncle Liu just needs to know about this, but don't let it out."

Manager Liu was shocked when he heard this. No wonder Longmen Trading Company was so invincible. With so many big Buddhas standing behind them, who in the capital would dare to mess with them?

I didn't expect that the girl was so capable at such a young age! The old man has a successor, so he can rest in peace.
