In ancient times, I just wanted to be a salted fish

After the two recognized each other, they hugged each other and talked and expressed their true feelings.

Zhihua said shyly, "Sir, I am pregnant. I have good food and accommodation in this manor, but I am not allowed to leave the manor. I have lost my freedom! Sir, can you come here to see Zhihua occasionally? To relieve Zhihua's homesickness?"

Zhihua looked at Wu Qiming with moist and innocent eyes, waiting for his answer.

Wu Qiming was overjoyed when he heard this.

He had been married for three years and was looking forward to having a child, but the princess was infertile, so he could only worry and dare not say anything. He also had to comfort the princess, saying that as long as the two loved each other, it didn't matter if they had no children. His Wu family had many male descendants, so he didn't need one more.

He had had enough of the days of hypocrisy in front of the princess. He thought that this was the end of his life, but he didn't expect that Zhihua would appear in his life, injecting new spring water into his long-dried heart and moistening his heart.

How could he not be excited and happy?

He kissed Zhihua passionately, stroked her hair, and said in a low and hoarse voice, "Zhihua, don't call me Master anymore. I am your husband, you should call me husband. In the future, your husband will come to see you and our child often. I will find a way to get you out of here and give you a home." After that, he stroked Zhihua's belly, feeling the presence of the child.

Zhihua shook her head and said, "No, my husband, if the princess knew about this, both you and I would..."

Wu Qiming covered Zhihua's lips and said, "Zhihua, please don't say such unlucky words. For you and the child, I have to take the risk. Otherwise, the day the child is born will be the day you disappear.

As a husband, I cannot let our child be without a mother, and I cannot watch you being harmed by the princess. I believe that my husband will be able to protect you and your child!"

After hearing Wu Qiming's heartfelt words, Zhihua burst into tears of joy and nodded, "Yes, I believe you, sir. I will wait for you to rescue us mother and son so that we can live freely!"

As time was tight, Wu Qiming only stayed in Meihuazhuang for a quarter of an hour before hurried back to the yamen to report for duty.

Feng Liangyu saw and heard everything that happened between Wu Qiming and Zhihua, as well as their conversation.

Feng Liangyu has been following Wu Qiming these days, but Wu Qiming, like before, doesn't notice anything wrong.

When Wu Qiming was on leave, he took advantage of Liang Zhilan's inattention and quietly left the house to meet Zhihua in Meihua Manor in East City.

After Feng Liangyu finished recounting the latest events that had taken place in the princess's residence, he let out a long sigh and drank a cup of tea.

Chen Ruotong loves gossip and melons. She listened with great interest and really listened to this matter as a story, which was very fresh and interesting.

Chen Ruotong thought for a moment and said, "Old Feng, we can't let Liang Zhilan make money so easily. We have to let her experience the betrayal of her lover and let her taste the pain. You understand, huh? Hehehe..."

Feng Liangyu rolled his eyes and said, "Young Master, are you going to let Liang Zhilan know about Wu Qiming and Zhihua's secret meeting, so that they will fight among themselves and make the Princess's Mansion in turmoil? Are we going to just watch the fun from the sidelines?"

"It's not just us who are watching the fun, but the princes, nobles and common people in the entire capital are watching the fun..."

Chen Ruotong looked at Qiao Zien and said, "Zien, what do you think of doing this?"

Qiao Zien smiled indulgently, "If Gu Chuan thinks it's good, then it's good, hehe..."

"Alas! It's useless to ask you! You always listen to me and have no opinion of your own!"

"I don't need to have an opinion, it's fine as long as you have one!"

Chen Ruotong rolled her eyes and said, "Old Feng, tomorrow you go to the government office to pay the balance of the teahouse. After the title deed is completed, you can let Liang Zhilan know about this, and then another good show will begin!" All four of them laughed.

The next morning, Feng Liangyu could not wait to rush to the government office. He was secretly glad that he had smoothed the relationship in advance and used some money to arrange it. In this way, the fourth master did not need to be present in person, and he could sign the house deed on his behalf to complete the transaction.

After all, what was to be sold this time was the property of the Princess's Mansion, which was no small matter. Therefore, Jingzhao Yin Xie Renhuai attached great importance to this matter and even went to the transaction site in person to ensure that the whole process went smoothly. He had a sharp eye and kept a close eye on every detail, not daring to neglect it in the slightest.

When Xie Renhuai took the house deed, his eyes inadvertently swept over the name of the buyer written on it - Chen Guchuan.

For a moment, he felt as if he had heard this name somewhere before.

He suddenly remembered that he had heard the Regent mention this person before! At that time, the Regent tried to win over Chen Guchuan, but ultimately failed.

Not only that, it is said that the regent was dissatisfied with Chen Guchuan and had been looking for an opportunity to take over his property. However, to this day, it seems that his wish has not been fulfilled.

Thinking of this, Xie Renhuai couldn't help but smile slightly. Now that there is such a good opportunity in front of him, why not use it to cause some trouble for Chen Guchuan? This way, he can please the regent and vent his anger.

Thus, a sinister and cunning plan began to take shape in Xie Renhuai's mind...

Xie Renhuai smiled slyly, "Wait, there seems to be something wrong with this deed. Leave it here for now. I will report it to the prince and then make a decision!"

After hearing this, Feng Liangyu was disappointed: Oh no, it seems that the Regent wants to ruin this matter, and the silver that was paid is difficult to recover. It seems that he intends to swallow up the 30,000 taels. What should I do?

Feng Liangyu was so anxious that he broke out in a sweat. Since Xie Renhuai had already said such a thing, how could he refute it? Any words were pale and useless in the face of power.

So he left the yamen and immediately returned to the inn to report the matter to Chen Ruotong.

Chen Ruotong heard this and laughed contemptuously, "It seems that this Xie Renhuai is just trying to make things difficult for me! The emperor scolded him last time, but he still hasn't learned his lesson. The people and the officials really can't fight each other, but we have this jade pendant, which is more useful than anything else.

Old Feng, just take this jade pendant and show it to Xie Renhuai, and he will understand everything, and the house deed will be in your hands smoothly! Hehehe..."

Qiao Zien echoed, "That's great, the jade pendant finally came in handy!"

Feng Liangyu took the jade pendant and rushed to Jingzhao Prefecture.

When he took out the jade pendant and showed it to Xie Renhuai, Xie Renhuai was dumbfounded.

He looked at the jade pendant and immediately understood the key. No wonder the regent failed to win over Chen Guchuan. It turned out that Chen Guchuan had the emperor as his backer! Who could afford to offend him?

Xie Renhuai felt like he had hit a brick wall. His feet, legs, and body ached. He smiled awkwardly and said, "I just reviewed it again and didn't find anything wrong. The deal is done. You can take the deed away!"

Feng Liangyu's heart, which had been in his throat, finally settled down. He took a deep breath and said with a smile on his face, "Thank you for your help, my son will be very grateful!"

Feng Liangyu thought: Anyway, the house deed is in hand. It is absolutely impossible to get more money from the young master! Who will know who you are after you leave this government office? Official? Why is my young master afraid of a corrupt official like you? Why didn't the chivalrous thief Jia Fei steal your warehouse last time?
