Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

Chapter 2: Playing Chess Following the Scumbag's Way

Two days later, just after Wan Zhou had breakfast, he received the donation document and his letter from Huayang.

The letter said that the emperor attached great importance to and was delighted with the donation, and that after the morning court tomorrow, Lord Xie would bring her to the palace to meet him and present a generous reward.

Wan Zhou put away the documents and made an appointment with Jiang Xuan to meet at Yunxuan Teahouse.

"Choose brother, I have a surprise for you, a super big one."

Wan Zhou sat beside the tea table, suppressing his disgust and pretending to look at Jiang Xuan opposite him with his usual infatuated and admiring eyes.

"Oh?" Contestant Jiang held the teacup, smiling, and looked at Wan Zhou with eyes so gentle that they could make people sick. "It just so happens that I also have good news to tell you."

Mr. Jiang had a clear and bright appearance, a lively look, and a scholarly righteousness. When he smiled, he had a gentle scholarly temperament. The maid Wan Zhou beside him was secretly delighted: Mr. Jiang was so gentle and loving to the young lady, and he was a good match for the young lady...

Wan Zhou almost couldn't continue the performance and felt sick on the spot.

Ever since she was old enough to understand, Jiang Xuan has taken care of her like a brother, showing great concern for her and always asking about her well-being.

In the previous life, after they got married, Jiang Xuan was still very gentle to her, but he didn't sleep with her. The reason was...

Jiang Xuan said: "Sister Wanzhou, I love you too much. I am afraid that if I fall into your gentle embrace, I will stop striving for progress. I want to work hard and pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. Then we can grow old together day and night."

Wan Zhou believed it. Not only did she believe it, she was also extremely moved and felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.

Not long after, she fell ill, and for unknown reasons, she could not be cured for a long time, and she was bedridden for two years. Even though she was bedridden, she still had expectations for the future, hoping that one day she would recover and grow old with Jiang Xuanhe and Meimei.

She didn't even know that Jiang Xuan was ranked eighth in the second class of high school until the moment before her younger sister Gu Wanyu smothered her to death with a pillow.

Jiang Xuan didn't consummate his marriage with her just to keep his virginity for Gu Wanyu.

And her illness, her long-term illness, was caused by the fact that they had people give her a chronic poison.

The happiness she thought she had didn't exist at all. The husband she thought was perfect and gentle was actually in love with her younger sister Gu Wanyu.

This marriage was a sham from the beginning.

"Then let Brother Xuan speak first." Wan Zhou, like before, focused on Jiang Xuan.

Jiang Xuan didn't rush to speak. He took a sip of tea and looked at Wan Zhou gently.

"Sister Wanzhou, do you know that the food and fodder that the court transported to Huajiang this time was destroyed by an avalanche? Now the court is collecting donations for military pay..."

When Wan Zhou saw the excitement in Jiang Xuan's eyes, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind.

She decided not to talk about the donation for now. Jiang Xuan had been deceiving her, so she had to take this opportunity to play a good trick on him, which would not only vent her anger but also make Jiang Xuan break off the engagement faster.

"Does this have anything to do with the good news you told me?" Wan Zhou frowned and looked at Jiang Xuan, looking as confused as ever.

Jiang Xuan put down his teacup and said excitedly, "It is related. It is very related. Do you know what battle General Ji's army is fighting now?"

Wan Zhou shook his head, looking confused.

"I'm telling you, it's Chenggu Pass." Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. "We've been fighting for decades on the border of Huajiang and haven't been able to recover it. Most of the losses were at Chenggu Pass. Chenggu Pass is a crucial pass. As long as we take this pass, there's hope of recovering Huajiang."

"I heard that General Ji has been preparing for half a year, just waiting for the final blow. That's General Ji, the most outstanding god of war since the founding of our Yan country. With his expedition this time, the people of Yan country feel that the victory of recovering the Chinese border is in sight. But if the military pay is not delivered in time, it will affect morale, and the efforts of the past six months will be wasted, and the follow-up will be disastrous."

"So what?" Wan Zhou seemed uninterested.

Jiang Xuan was annoyed that Wan Zhou could not agree with him, and said patiently: "The court is in urgent need of military pay, and the fundraising effect is not ideal. The latest urgent news is that the army's food and grass can only last for one and a half months at most. Think about it, if our Jiang family can donate to the court at this moment and set an example, it is equivalent to registering with the emperor. Will our Jiang family be valued by the emperor? Will my career as an official be smoother in the future?"

Oh, finally got to the point.

In her previous life, Jiang Xuan also said the same thing to her, and then encouraged her to lend money and donate.

At that time, she was infatuated with Jiang Xuan and regarded Jiang Xuan's future as her own future, so of course she agreed immediately.

What did she say at that time?

Oh, she immediately said: "Brother Xuan, then you go and donate. If the money is not enough, I will go to Brother Huayang to borrow."

Jiang Xuan was not polite at all and directly said he wanted 5.

Wan Zhou quickly took 5 yuan from Huayang and gave it to Jiang Xuan.

Although 5 is not a lot, the Jiang family is just a poor family of the sixth rank. Donating 5 is more touching than those wealthy families donating 10.

After the Jiang family donated 5 yuan, the emperor was moved by the Jiang family's willingness to donate their savings, and also wanted to set an example for others to follow, so he directly promoted Jiang's father from the sixth rank to the fourth rank.

Even the poor people of the sixth rank had emptied their family savings, so how could other officials dare to complain about being poor? They had to grit their teeth and donate money.

Because of this, Jiang's father was promoted twice. Later, Jiang Xuan ranked 132nd in the imperial examination. Thanks to the favor he gained from his donation, he got eighth place in the second class in the palace examination. The emperor also made an exception and arranged for him to be the prefect in a wealthy area in Jiangnan.

With this arrangement, if Jiang Xuan can make some achievements, he will be promoted back to Beijing in three years and rise rapidly to the top.

It is said that Jiang Xuan is very smart. This move he made brought great benefits to the Jiang family!

She is just playing chess according to his moves.

"Sister Wanzhou?"

Seeing Wan Zhou deep in thought and silent, Jiang Xuan, who was waiting for Wan Zhou to take the initiative to give her the silver, frowned unhappily and reminded her.

"Brother Xuan, do you want to donate money to the court?" Wan Zhou asked hypocritically.

Jiang Xuan was obviously unhappy when he heard this.

So he said so much? Isn't his intention obvious?

How stupid.

But he still nodded patiently.

"Great, Brother Xuan and I have the same idea. How much do you think is appropriate to donate?"

Jiang Xuan saw that Wan Zhou had finally come to his senses. Thinking about the emperor's favor that he would soon receive, his dissatisfaction with Wan Zhou disappeared.

He made a five sign with his hand and said, "Fifty thousand."

"Fifty thousand is too little. If you want to donate, donate more." Wan Zhou said cheerfully.

Jiang Xuan's eyes rolled and he felt happy.

"Of course the more the better, but Sister Wanzhou, you also know how rich our Jiang family is..."

While Jiang Xuan was hesitating, Wan Zhou said straightforwardly, "I have it."
