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

"If the entire Gu family and Jiang family are destroyed together, there is nothing I should be afraid of." Wan Zhou was calm.

Jiang was the first one to be held accountable for allowing her engaged daughter to go out with a man outside her marriage. How could she dare to say a word?

Jiang was afraid that the news would leak out, so she kept the secret from all the servants except Qian Mama who was by her side. How could she dare to tell anyone?

Jiang and Gu Wanyu looked at each other, and seeing Wanzhou's indifferent expression, as if nothing happened, they realized belatedly that they had made a bad move.

In the final analysis, they were just relying on the fact that Wan Zhou couldn't afford to lose and was more afraid than them.

Now that Wan Zhou is not falling for it, what can they do? Do they really dare to tell others? Of course not?

Jiang gritted her teeth secretly.

How can this be good?

"Wanzhou, that's not what mother meant. How could mother do anything to threaten you, right?" Jiang had no choice but to start speaking softly.

For the sake of her own face and the future of her children, she could only flatter and beg for help.

It is better to embarrass yourself in front of Gu Wanzhou than to embarrass yourself in front of everyone.

Jiang chose her words carefully: "Wanzhou, since your mother raised you, please help your mother talk to your father. I beg you to do so."

She had finally realized that Gu Wanzhou in front of her was not someone she could control, so she decided to just be honest and speak the truth.

I just feel so painful and aggrieved.

As the mistress of the house, it was her job to manage the household and entertain guests. She just left without saying goodbye. What could Gu Lian do to her?

But there was already a rift between him and Gu Lian, and if he did this, the rift would only grow bigger.

If Wan Zhou came forward and asked her to leave in her name, she could gain a reputation of being sensible by going out despite her illness, and it could also be considered as mending the relationship between the couple.

God knows, she is just a woman, she is just a woman who needs a man.

Wan Zhou looked at Jiang's awkward and artificial humble attitude, and felt a sense of satisfaction in his heart.

It's such a satisfying feeling to be begged by someone you hate.

"Mother, it would have been nice if you had said this earlier?" Wan Zhou said with a smile.

"Zhou girl, you should also talk about the household affairs. Mrs. Xie has never managed the household, and now there are high-ranking officials coming and going in the house. If something goes wrong, it will be a disgrace to all of us."

Jiang thought, since she had already put down her dignity and asked for help, she might as well get it done once and for all. If she was asked to ask again, she might really be suffocated to death.

"Is that so? Then the daughter will tell her father that the family is still managed by her mother, so that he can rest assured. Do you think that's okay? But I can't guarantee that my father will agree."

Haha, the abacus makes a clacking sound.

Want to take back the housekeeping power? No way.

"Zhou'er, thank you, mother." Jiang said insincerely.

It was clearly Wan Zhou who took away the housekeeper's power, but now Jiang has to thank her for fighting for her. How aggrieved she must be.

"Oh, by the way, there is something I want to remind mother. Father is a military commander with a straight-laced character. If father knew that mother was lending money at high interest, it would be bad."

"You, how do you know?" As soon as Wan Zhou finished speaking, Jiang opened her eyes wide and stared at Wan Zhou in horror.

Gu Lian has a stubborn temper. If he knew that he lent money at high interest, it would be disastrous.

"That's right. I actually know a lot of things. But don't worry, mother. I won't tell father. But I advise mother that if you don't want to cause trouble, just deal with it quickly." Wan Zhou did not explain.

In the previous life, if Huayang had not gotten the news from somewhere in advance that the court was going to crack down on usury, causing Jiang to stop in advance, the Gu family would have been implicated because of Jiang’s greed.

It will be just a few months after the imperial examination.

The Gu family is not Jiang's Gu family, but his old father's Gu family. She can't let Jiang destroy her father.

She didn't tell her father about the usury issue because she took into consideration that her father had just returned and had been promoted, and was at the peak of his life. She didn't want Jiang to ruin his happiness.

Moreover, for Jiang, the fact that she colluded with the Jiang family to defraud her of marriage and plotted to steal her property was a bombshell.

Don’t worry, the king bomb will always come out last.

After Wan Zhou finished speaking, he went out to find Gu Lian. Jiang returned to her own yard with weak hands and feet.

"Gu Wanzhou, she is a poisonous snake." Jiang went back to the house and smashed a teacup.

Gu Wanyu was also extremely upset. Her well-planned plan was actually threatened by Gu Wanzhou.

"Aunt, great news." At this time, Jiang's mother walked into the yard with her daughter Jiang Yi, with a smile on her face.

Jiang didn't want to see anyone at the moment, but she couldn't really chase anyone away, so she had to go ahead and greet them.

Seeing that Jiang was in a bad mood, Jiang's mother started to worry about it.

She didn't see Jiang outside, and when she asked, she learned that she was sick. She thought to herself, at such an important time, even if she is sick, she has to eat some ginseng to hold on. How can she really stay in the house?

Now that she had met Jiang in person, she knew there must be some hidden story. She was afraid of bringing bad luck so she didn't mention it and just kept on complimenting her.

"I never thought that you are so blessed. When your husband asks for an imperial decree for you, you will be so honored." Mother Jiang clicked her tongue and seemed extremely envious.

In fact, she was really envious in her heart. After all, her man was still a sixth-rank man? She didn't know if he could make it to the fifth rank in his lifetime. She didn't even dare to think about the third rank.

The only hope is my son.

After hearing those nice words and seeing the cake that Jiang's mother had drawn, Jiang felt much better.

Suddenly, she changed her mind and whispered to Jiang's mother about the usury.

She wanted Jiang's mother to take over from her. Now that Wan Zhou knew about it, she definitely couldn't do it herself, otherwise she would be controlled by that damn girl sooner or later.

"I won't hide it from you. If I wasn't afraid that the master would know, I would never let you show up. My income from that business this year is almost equal to your annual income. Now if you agree, I will give you half of the profit."

Jiang's mother was a little timid at first. After all, she had never done this before and she heard that the court did not allow it.

But when she heard about the income that Jiang mentioned, she became jealous. When Jiang said he would give her half, she began to be tempted.

An income of more than 500 taels a year?

Her husband only earns 200 taels a year, but she wants to earn 500 taels. It’s so wonderful just to think about it.

"Aunt, but I still feel it's inappropriate." Mother Jiang was very excited, but still very hesitant. After all, this was a taboo.

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree. To be honest, I don't need this little money right now. It's just that I see you're in financial difficulty, so I want to increase your income." Jiang pretended not to care.

But how could she not care? An extra 500 taels of silver a year was quite a lot.
