To support exiled officials, start by worshipping the God of Wealth

In the small courtyard.

Yu's father and son drove Li Zi out, and Li Zi wanted to talk to Yu Mingzhu for a while.

Yu Qing crossed his arms over his chest, looking fierce: "If you don't want to die, get out of here. Mingzhu didn't report you two, this black-hearted mother and son, to the government, which is already embarrassing for you two. If you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude."

Li Zi locked his neck and walked away in fear.

Yu Qing said unhappily, "You are still as spineless as before."

Three people are taking a bath behind a screen.

Jiusu felt dizzy.

The bride's name was Yibao. She was a poor girl in the village. She was sold by her parents and was to be married to Chen Bantou in a ghost marriage. She worried, "Will I bring trouble to my two sisters?"

Yu Mingzhu rubbed her body and looked at the dust in the bathtub.

She shook her shoulders in disgust.

"Involve me? I don't want to live anymore, so I'm not afraid of being implicated."

Yibao was surprised and looked to the right. After listening to Yu Mingzhu's words, she finally understood and sighed, "Oh, there are so many unfaithful men in the world, that..."

She sat up, water overflowing the tub, and tilted her head curiously.

"Are you really Lord Jiu?"

Jiusu came back to her senses and responded softly. She had a headache, as if something bad had happened. Feeling Yibao's eyes, she smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. When you have rested enough, go home."

Suddenly, Yibao burst into tears.

She choked up and said, "If I go home, I will die. They will despise me for offending Concubine Xi and will force me to confess my crime. Even if I dare not go, they will drown me in the pond."

Yu Mingzhu felt sore all over. She came out of the dirty water and put on her clothes.

"So cruel? Then don't go back." She turned around and asked, "Can I let her follow me? My maid was beaten to death by Zhao Binglu."

Jiusu said: "It's fine as long as she is willing."

Yibao wanted to kneel down excitedly, but she quickly put on her clothes in the bathtub and threw herself on the ground: "This servant greets the young lady."

Yu Mingzhu smiled and said, "You don't have to call yourself a slave, just treat yourself as my sister and accompany me."

She threw away Yibao's wedding dress and changed Yibao into a beautiful dress.

For fear of being discovered, they gathered in the room to eat.

Yu Tingbei raised his glass: "I don't know how to address you, Miss Jiu or Miss Li, anyway, you will be the benefactor of the Yu family in the future, let us toast to you."

The brother and sister also stood up and raised their glasses to Jiusu.

Jiusu had a headache and drank tea instead of wine. She said helplessly, "You're welcome. I'm also here for the Yu family's business in South City."

Everyone sat down again.

Yu Tingbei drank strong liquor and said with red eyes: "A gentleman judges deeds rather than hearts. No matter what the reason is, you saved my daughter. From now on, all business in Nancheng will be handled by Miss Jiu."

Jiusu once again said they were polite.

After a while, she asked, "Is Yongjiang in South City?"

"Yes." Yu Mingzhu blinked, "My home is in Yongjiang."

Jiusu asked, "The Cai family of Yongjiang was wiped out."

Yu Tingbei took a deep breath and spilled a lot of wine. He put down the cup and said in surprise: "When we came, the Cai family was still fine. How could they be wiped out? Maybe it was the evil that Master Cai committed when he was young, and now he is paying for it."

孽？

"It seems like it was done by our enemies." Jiusu said.

Yu Tingbei nodded: "However, the whole family was killed, even the children were not spared. Logically, there would be no one left, unless a righteous person in the martial arts world avenged them."

Jiusu thought, if he wanted revenge, he would have done it long ago.

Now it seems that it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

"Have you seen any suspicious people along the way?"

Yu Tingbei thought, "There is no suspicious person. It is an honor to travel with the eldest prince."

The eldest prince? This touched Jiusu's blind spot.

She no longer discusses the subject.

"Jiang Jing and Song Wang are going to Yongjiang to investigate a case. If you see them, Master Yu, please take care of them."

Yu Tingbei smiled knowingly: "I understand, Lord Jiang is the young lady's fiancé. If we meet him, I will definitely treat him well."

After a few drinks, Guan Nu could no longer hold back the anxiety that had been suppressed in her heart for so long.

His eyes were red.

He patted his chest.

"Mingzhu, come home with us. He's just a man. We have plenty of him in South City."

Yu Mingzhu shook her head. Seeing her father's disappointment, she said, "I don't want to run away from home, nor do I want to see Li Zi. I want to stay in Shengjing to do business."

Yu Tingbei sighed: "It's good that you think so. Then you can stay in Shengjing and develop the Yu family's business in Shengjing. I will leave tomorrow, so let your brother stay here to accompany you."

Yu Mingzhu frowned: "I can do it alone."

Yu Tingbei insisted, "He is already 25 and still hasn't married. You are arranging a marriage for him in Shengjing. I am not worried about you, but about him. You are really going to ruin the Yu family's succession."

Yu Qing scratched his head and didn't dare to speak.

-

"My face has become much paler these days." Song happily paid the money, including Zhou Nuanmei and Yi Hui's share, "Thank you so much, otherwise I would not be able to find the meaning of life."

Yi Hui said: "You're welcome, let's go to the teahouse and have some tea."

Song nodded happily, looking at the rainy day, not as annoyed as before.

My skin used to get darker when it rained.

Now she is fair and tender, and even the master says she looks ten years younger.

"My treat."

Zhou Nuanmei took Yi Hui's arm and said, "The road is slippery on a rainy day. You sneaked out. Aren't you afraid that Susu will be angry?"

Hearing this, Yi Hui walked more carefully.

"So, both of you don't tell her." The teahouse has private rooms, but the noise from the girls across the street is uncomfortable. But since they are so close, she really doesn't want to leave. She leans back on the wooden chair and chuckles, "Strangely enough, I'm not afraid of the Marquis, but I'm afraid of Yuyu."

The Song family has a deep understanding of this.

"I am also afraid of Wen Zhi now."

Zhou Nuanmei ordered two pots of tea, "You two are afraid because you have a guilty conscience."

Song coughed lightly: "That's true."

"Nuanmei, you still have the nerve to say that about us." Yi Hui took a sip of tea and looked at his friend's knees, his eyes smiling but also tinged with worry, "Your knees are not good, and you still want to go out and play."

Zhou Nuanmei said helplessly: "It's boring in the mansion, the children are busy, and Nianyin was invited to go boating."

Song's heart was filled with alarm. Her son was going on a long journey, and she couldn't afford to lose her future daughter-in-law again. She asked nervously, "Who asked Miss Jiang to go boating? In this rainy day, you'll get cold, right?"

"The daughter of the Lan family."

"Miss Lan... doesn't she have an unmarried brother?"

Zhou Nuanmei curled her lips: "Yes."

Yi Hui also added another blow.

"I heard that Master Lan is gentle, polite, and handsome. He is a good man that the noble ladies in Shengjing are vying to marry."

Song grabbed Zhou Nuanmei's sleeve and said anxiously, "My dear sister, Wen and Wenzhi are away, you can't marry Nianyin off. It was my fault before, but please, wait for Wenzhi to come back, okay?"

Zhou Nuanmei was angry.

Fortunately, An Wenzhi is a good guy, she said.

"It's not my place to get involved in young people's affairs. It depends on whether Nianyin likes it or not. Mr. An is married, but my Nianyin is still unmarried."
