The two of them were old acquaintances and had been close friends since childhood, but ever since Jiang Nianwei married into the Marquis's Mansion, Qin Ziqian had forbidden them from having any contact.

When she saw Jiang Nianwei this time, Fu Siya, who had been complaining at first, started to feel conflicted when she thought of the clothes Jiang Nianwei had bought for her. In the end, she pretended to be sullen and said, "Didn't you break off relations with me? Why did you give me these clothes?"

"We are good friends, and this friendship will not fade away. I just don't want to leave any regrets."

"What are you talking about? It's as if you're leaving. Jiang Nianwei, why are you dressed like this?"

"It's more convenient to go out this way."

"I heard about your divorce from Qin Ziqian. I think it's a good thing. I've disliked him for a long time."

Jiang Nianwei felt very warm in her heart when she saw her scolding Qin Ziqian with a beaming smile on her face. She was afraid that at this time only her former relatives and friends would stand by her.

"Divorcing Qin Ziqian is indeed a good thing. To celebrate this, how about I treat you to a meal today?"

Fu Siya naturally had no doubts, "Okay, today I will have a couple of drinks with you."

The Fu family educates girls in the same way as boys. Fu Siya also learns martial arts with her brothers. She is not fussy about details and has a free and easy personality.

In fact, this time, Jiang Nianwei was so friendly because she wanted to ask Fu Siya for help with something.

Fu Siya's elder brother is Sikou, and she knows clearly in her mind that the exile of the Jiang family is a foregone conclusion. If her father is imprisoned, with the help of Fu Siya's brother, he will suffer less.

"Si Ya, my Jiang family is about to face a disaster. I am not just saying goodbye to you, but I also want to ask for a favor. I hope you can lend a hand."

Jiang Nianwei took out a heavy bag of gold from her sleeve and handed it to Fu Siya with both hands, her eyes full of pleading and expectation. "If my family encounters misfortune and is imprisoned in prison, I beg your brother to make some arrangements so that they can avoid suffering and humiliation in prison.

Fu Siya was originally suspicious, but her mind quickly emerged with her father's furrowed brow in recent days and those vague instructions - asking her to have less contact with the Jiang family. She immediately understood the reason.

"We have been friends for more than ten years, I will definitely help you with all my strength, but I absolutely cannot accept this gold."

Jiang Nianwei looked embarrassed, "It costs a lot to run a prison."

"As a young lady from the Duke's Mansion, this little bit of gold is nothing to me. As long as it can help, that's enough."

The two were inseparable. Fu Siya knew that the Jiang family was about to face a drastic change, and she didn't know what the future fate of her best friend would be, so she couldn't help feeling regretful.

After properly handling the matter, Jiang Nianwei rushed to the pharmacy.

It was inevitable that some injuries would occur during the exile. Due to the lack of medicine at the beginning, many people died along the way.

"Boss, I want to buy all the medicines in your pharmacy. Please pack them for me."

When the old shopkeeper heard this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He thought that the young man was just joking, "Young man, you are joking. The medicinal materials in my pharmacy are of various types and are priceless. I am afraid that you..." He shook his head and sighed, and his unfinished words were self-evident.

Jiang Nianwei's expression became more serious. She gently took out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and asked, "Are these enough?"

The shopkeeper's eyes suddenly widened, and he realized that the young master was not joking. He nodded hurriedly, his tone full of respect, "Young master, do you really want to buy all the medicinal materials?

"That's right." Jiang Nianwei nodded, "Please ask the shopkeeper to carefully mark the name of each medicinal ingredient."

"Of course, sir, please rest assured." The shopkeeper responded quickly.

Since he had made an offer to buy, the shopkeeper naturally would not refuse. After calculating the bill, he asked the shop assistant to come and pack up the goods.

In addition to the commonly used Rehmannia root, Codonopsis pilosula, cinnamon twig, honeysuckle, etc., there are also high-end medicinal materials such as ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum.

And ask the pharmacy to boil some commonly used medicines for treating colds into decoctions in case of emergency.

After filling a cart with medicinal herbs, Jiang Nianwei moved all the herbs into the space in a deserted place.

After purchasing the medicinal herbs, Jiang Nianwei went to the locksmith again and handed the lock on the cabinet to the locksmith to open.

The locksmith wiped his hands and said confidently: "Sir, you have found the right person. I am afraid that no one in this capital can open this lock except me."

"As long as you can open it, I will give you ten taels of gold."

When the locksmith heard the ten taels of gold, his eyes lit up. This amount of money was enough for him to return home in glory, buy a big house, and live a carefree life. Thinking of this, his men moved even faster.

After half an incense stick of time, he said happily, "Sir, it's open."

Jiang Nianwei knew that there must be some unknown secret hidden in it, so she gave the locksmith another twenty taels of gold, "Ten taels are your wages, and the other ten taels are your resettlement fee. You'd better leave quickly before tonight."

Twenty taels of gold was enough to buy dozens of his shops! Even if there were any secrets, he didn't care.

The locksmith nodded rapidly: "I'll pack my bags and leave now."

Jiang Nianwei finally discovered the secret of Yuanshan Marquis Mansion. Locked in this cabinet is the secret that has kept the mansion standing for all these years.

This is a list of people in the court who accepted bribes and committed corruption and abuse of power.

Qin Ziqian is very smart, and he has nothing to do with the Marquis' Mansion from beginning to end.

But with this list, he could make friends with these officials and even use them to stir up trouble behind the scenes of the court, and now the bargaining chips in their hands have fallen into her hands.

Having this list in hand has both advantages and disadvantages. Now my father is the target of public criticism and there is no way to eliminate the people on the list. However, there is one person who is different.

Prince Yu Baili Zhao was originally the biggest villain in this book and Qin Ziqian's number one enemy in the future. Before the incident, he was extremely powerful and had his own army, so even His Majesty had to give him some respect.

A big part of the reason why Qin Ziqian was valued by the emperor was that he eliminated Prince Yu and removed the hidden danger for him.

Prince Yu is the prince's sword-trigger. He can be powerful and show off his talents, but he cannot overshadow his master.

In this case, this list can only play its greatest role if it falls into the hands of Qin Ziqian's enemies, and the other party must be a person of high position and power. Prince Yu is very suitable.

Moreover, she was worrying about how to sell the family property. Others didn't dare to buy it, but Prince Yu was sure he would be willing.

Jiang Nianwei went directly to the pawnshop under Baili Zhao's name and mortgaged her house and shop to the pawnshop. This was not a small amount of money for the pawnshop.

Moreover, these people all have inside information and know what should be accepted and what should not be accepted. No one dares to accept this hot potato.

Jiang Nianwei's tone was as calm as water, as if everything was within her expectations. "You can report to your superiors and say that the Jiang family has a deal and hopes to talk to your big boss."

Baili Zhao naturally would not show up in person, but he sent his confidant to discuss the matter with Jiang Nianwei.

"I have a business that is sure to make money. I want to make a deal with your Prince Yu. I will only hand over this item if he shows up in person."

The confidant thought that this woman was extremely courageous and was about to discuss things with her, but a servant came up to him and whispered something.

Afterwards, Jiang Nianwei was brought to the boat shop.

Anyone else would have been terrified, but she remained calm throughout.

She stood quietly outside the boathouse, with her head lowered, waiting for Prince Yu to arrive.

Jiang Nianwei had never seen this legendary prince before, and when she saw him for the first time, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

Fortunately, there is always a curtain between us and each other.

A deep voice came from behind the curtain, "I heard that Jiang's daughter is good at playing the pipa. Why don't you play a piece for me?"

Before Jiang Nianwei could respond, a servant handed her a pipa.

She calmly picked up the pipa and gently tuned the strings.

She has a profound knowledge of music, and playing the pipa is not difficult for her.

However, after she married Qin Ziqian, he thought that playing the pipa was not in line with the status of the mistress of a marquisate, so he forbade her to play the pipa anymore.

Even after she was reincarnated into the modern era, playing the pipa remained her hobby.

The sound of the pipa rises, like a breeze blowing across the lake, stirring up ripples. As the melody rises and falls, the sound of the pipa becomes passionate, like the iron horses on the battlefield, magnificent and majestic.

However, after the climax, the sound of the pipa gradually became softer and finally came to an end, leaving a lingering aftertaste that was endless.

The night wind blew, bringing with it a melodious sound of a pipa, like a clear spring in the mountains, flowing slowly. That sound contained stories, joys and sorrows, and the vicissitudes of life.

When the song ended, there was a sound of applause from behind the curtain: "You are indeed worthy of your reputation. I heard that you want to make a deal with me. Do you know that I will never get involved in anything that I am not sure of."

However, Jiang Nianwei was full of confidence: "Your Highness Prince Yu, I firmly believe that you will be interested in the deal I mentioned."

Baili Zhao looked at her face through the curtain.

Although this woman is not stunningly beautiful, she has an unforgettable graceful beauty.

Her face was gentle, like the ripples on a lake in the spring breeze of March.

There was a fearless and unrestrained look between her eyebrows, just like the music she had just played, harmonious and melodious.

"But it doesn't matter."

"Your Highness must know the reason for my divorce. My husband, Marquis Yuanshan, went to war for a year and brought back a woman. I have completely broken off relations with him. When I left the mansion, I brought a list of names from the mansion. Now it is hidden somewhere else. As long as Your Highness agrees to my request, I will give it to you."

Baili Zhao's expression was deep, "How can I know if what you said is true?"

Jiang Nianwei had known this, so she took out the part she had copied first, "This is part of the list, Your Majesty can take a look."

Half an incense stick later, Prince Yu listened to her story and agreed to her request.

Originally, Baili Zhao thought that Jiang Nianwei wanted him to rescue his father. If that was true, he would just think that this girl was extremely stupid.

Jiang Yan is now surrounded by enemies, and that man wants his life. He can save Jiang Yan's life, but he must stay away from the capital.

After all, he could save Jiang Yan once, but he couldn't save him several times. Jiang Yan had offended countless people, and he had affected the interests of the ministers, so those people would naturally not let him go.

But she did not do so. She just hoped that he could take over her family's shop and several farms in exchange for a large amount of silver bills.

Not only that, Jiang Nianwei also hoped that he could sell some weapons and armor to her. These things could not be purchased easily, and Jiang Nianwei was smart to think of buying them from him.

Baili Zhao was very interested in the list that Jiang Nianwei mentioned, so he agreed to her request.

At the same time, he felt that this woman was quite courageous.

"Thank you for your help, Your Highness. I will send someone to deliver all the deeds and names of the people in my house." She changed the subject and said, "But I have another request."

"Tell me about it." Prince Yu's voice was obviously much more relaxed than before.

Jiang Nianwei's request was not excessive. After all, the two of them were enemies, so she just went with the flow. "Your Majesty, can you help me teach my unfeeling ex-husband a lesson?"

Baili Zhao's lips curled up into an imperceptible smile, "I will accomplish this for you."

He had long wanted to get rid of this troublesome Qin Ziqian, and with this list, it would be even more powerful for him.

Jiang Nianwei was delighted holding the thick stack of banknotes. This plan really killed two birds with one stone.

"I can also promise you that if you encounter danger, I can help you once with this jade pendant."

The servant handed the jade pendant to Jiang Nianwei with both hands. She took it and bowed to express her gratitude.

After she left, Baili Zhao's eyes did not move away for a long time, just staring at her back as she walked away.

Her pipa playing was still as sweet as ever, but the situation was now completely different.

After Jiang Nianwei got the silver note, she did not put it randomly, but carefully put it into the space.

Now, her space is not only filled with rice, but also with new clothes and soft bedding, as well as seeds of vegetables, fruits and melons that are not available in those remote places in Yazhou.

In addition, there were some odds and ends left, which were given to Taozhi to purchase.

Originally, she wanted to sell the shop and farm through formal channels, but this would take at least half a month, and she had to sell them at a low price, so there was no time left.

But now, Prince Yu bought these properties at a price higher than the market price, allowing her to obtain more than 100,000 taels of silver notes, which was considered great value for money.

She listed the items she needed one by one and asked Taozhi to purchase various snacks, cakes, cooked food, oil, salt, sugar and other seasonings.

Taozhi was not surprised by this and thought that her young lady was going to hold a banquet to entertain guests.

Jiang Nianwei took advantage of her free time to verify her conjecture about the space storage. As she expected, the items put in it would always remain in their original state.

This means that after the food is put in, it will not go bad even after five or ten years, just as what is said in the original book.

That's why she asked Taozhi to purchase these foods.

Then, she took the silver bills and asked her brother to buy some self-defense armor, and went to the Treasure Pavilion to buy a dozen pieces of close-fitting gold-thread soft armor.

With soft armor on your body, even if you are attacked, you can avoid damage to the greatest extent.

The price of the gold-thread soft armor was high, and Jiang Lanxu was confused as to why his sister asked him to purchase these things.

Jiang Nianwei explained, "I heard in the Marquis' Mansion that His Majesty might take action against our Jiang family soon. I want to make some preparations. Brother, I'll give you these banknotes to purchase. The faster the better."

Jiang Lanxu frowned upon hearing this and said, "Actually, I had a premonition of this a long time ago, otherwise I wouldn't have been dismissed and would be idle at home. I'll go shopping now."

He had also advised his father, and Jiang Yan also had the idea of ​​resigning and returning home, but even if they wanted to get away with it, the treacherous officials that Jiang Yan had offended would never let it go.

Jiang Yan's current situation is also quite difficult, but he is unwilling to tell Nian Wei about these things. He pretends to be calm and firmly believes that things will turn around and that His Majesty will not be deceived by treacherous ministers.

She also sent a few servants to buy some coal, firewood, fruits, vegetables, noodles and other items.

He also reminded them, "Remember, don't worry about the price, choose the best quality."

It would be a waste of time for her to go out shopping alone. Now, letting the people in the mansion do the shopping separately can save some time.

Soon, the few of them had purchased all the things they needed. Jiang Nianwei asked them to put all these things into the warehouse, and prepare to put them into the space when no one was paying attention.
