First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Seeing Xie Yingfeng's defiant and proud look, Wei Ling couldn't help but laugh.

"Although our Majesty has given me the title of a first-rank military marquis, he must have a backup plan." Wei Ling said calmly, "Don't be too happy too soon. I just don't know when His Majesty will make a move. It's just that with the presence of Prince Chenliu, we are still safe in Mangcheng."

"Yeah." Xie Yingfeng nodded, calmed down his expression, and said seriously, "I am worried about this too. I originally thought that Cui Yushan would concurrently serve as the supervisor of the Black Tiger Army, but after the imperial edict was read, he was only the clerk of the Foundry Department, just a sixth-rank official. If he comes to monitor you, I am afraid his rank is not high enough. I don't know what this Dongdu man is up to! Or will he send someone over later?"

"It should be." Wei Ling nodded and said, "This Cui Yushan should be sent here to test the waters. His Majesty probably knows that Cui Yushan cannot control me, so in order to avoid resentment from me, he did not allow him to be a military supervisor. I guess our Majesty is probably afraid that he can't find a reliable military supervisor, so now he is just being generous to show his generosity and favor."

"You're right. Looking at the entire Dongdu right now, I'm afraid there won't be anyone who can come and supervise your army." Xie Yingfeng said with deep conviction, "So why not just release Cui Yushan first and see what happens first."

"Okay, don't think too much. You still have to go and hand over the matters of the Foundry Department to Cui Yushan." Wei Ling said, "After all, you are still responsible for the duties of the acting governor of Mangcheng. It is what you should do!"

"Back then, we blew up the entire foundry..." Xie Yingfeng laughed evilly, "Do you think Cui Yushan would faint from anger when he saw that his foundry was actually a scorched earth?"

"What does that have to do with us? He is the steward, and I am not!" Wei Ling said with a smile.

"Haha. I told you that you are full of bad intentions!" Xie Yingfeng raised his hand and knocked on Wei Ling's desk. "But you have to give me a definite answer. If Cui Yushan asks me for people, places, or money, will I give them to him or not?"

"The place is ready, and we can lend some people to help. As for the money, our Mangcheng is not a wealthy place. You can give as much as you think is appropriate. Just make sure they don't starve to death." Wei Ling said.

"Okay, I understand!" Xie Yingfeng slapped his thigh, "Oh, by the way, that guy also asked me for the files in the military camp! Do you want to give them to me or not?"

"He is not an imperial envoy now, so why does he care so much about me? He should just take care of his foundry!" Wei Ling said.

"Right, right, right!" Xie Yingfeng nodded immediately. "He already has a lot of things to deal with, why would he care about our affairs? He should just take care of his foundry!"

Cui Yushan returned to Lee Garden dejected.

Zheng Wenxiu was feeding the fish by the waterside pavilion. Seeing Cui Yushan's unhappy expression, she knew that something was not going well for him.

"How dare Wei Ling stop the imperial edict from entering the military camp?" Zheng Wenxiu looked at Cui Yushan in surprise.

Cui Yushan glanced at his wife and sighed deeply, "Madam, we have been tricked this time!" He recounted his experience, "I shouldn't have asked for the imperial edict so early!" After he finished speaking, he slapped the railing of the waterside pavilion in annoyance, "That Wei Ling is simply a robber! You don't know, he pulled out all his guards to block the entrance of the military camp and directly set up the incense table. How can I keep the imperial edict? Now, Wei Ling has become the first-rank Zhenbei Marquis, and I have become the clerk of the Foundry Department. The imperial edict clearly states that it will take effect immediately! I have completely taken off the hat of the imperial envoy!"

After hearing this, Zheng Wenxiu twisted her hand and scattered all the fish food in her hand into the water, attracting the koi in the water to scramble for the food, causing chaos on the water surface for a while.

"Then you won't be able to retrieve the military camp's files anymore!" Zheng Wenxiu's eyes were a little flustered, "I'm not the imperial envoy's wife anymore! You're only a sixth-rank official, and I'm not much different from Zhao Xiuwan..."

She had held her ground in front of Zhao Xiuwan before!

it's good now!

Her husband is a sixth-rank military officer, and my husband is also a sixth-rank civil official... they are equally matched!

"You're still thinking about those nonsense!" Cui Yushan looked at Zheng Wenxiu impatiently, "I'm afraid we won't be able to live in this garden for long!"

This garden was previously used for the imperial envoy to live in. Now that he is no longer an imperial envoy, he will probably have to find a place to live by himself.

However, after living in Mangcheng for so many days, he and Zheng Wenxiu have become accustomed to living in Liyuan, and they don’t have to pay any money themselves. This good thing will not be available in the future.

"We have to find a place first!" Cui Yushan said a little distressed.

Although he was from the empress dowager's family, he was not a direct descendant and his family was not very wealthy. He just won the favor of the empress dowager and when he went to the Eastern Capital, his family gave him a sum of money for working capital. However, most of the money had been used when he married Zheng Wenxiu.

There is not much money left. It is enough to buy a small house, but it may not be enough to maintain Zheng Wenxiu's current living conditions.

But this is a matter of his face, and his father-in-law is a favorite of His Majesty, the Minister of Revenue. He cannot say that he has no money in front of his wife!

"Then the government office in Mangcheng won't make arrangements for us?" Zheng Wenxiu asked.

"Don't mention it!" Cui Yushan's face turned even darker when talking about this.

He had already inquired about it when he came back just now. When Wei Ling rushed out of the mine in Mangcheng, he not only blew up the mining area, but also the entire foundry!

Now his so-called foundry is nothing but a pile of ruins overgrown with weeds!

Even the government office is gone, and you still want to arrange accommodation in Mangcheng?

Stop dreaming, if he hadn't done so many little tricks, perhaps Wei Ling would have given him some face and let him stay, but he has already done so many things with Wei Ling blatantly, Wei Ling will not tolerate him!

As soon as Cui Yushan finished speaking, someone came to report that someone from the Mangcheng Governor's Office had come to ask when they could help Cui Siwu and his family move! They could send someone to help!

Cui Yushan and Zheng Wenxiu looked at each other in bewilderment. They had not expected it to come so soon...

After Cui Yushan sent the people away, Zheng Wenxiu became so angry that her face turned pale!

"Isn't this Wei Ling giving me any face at all?" She scolded, "How can he be so desperate to insult others? He came to chase you away just after you read out the imperial edict! Who the hell is he!"

"Madam, please shut up first!" Cui Yushan looked around in shock. In addition to the maids and servants he brought with him, all the other servants in Li Garden were provided by Mangcheng! In other words, what they said now might be heard by Wei Ling.
