The general kneels on the washboard again

The next day, Jiang Hu came back early.

"Madam, the Third Princess has gone towards Wenzhou."

"Wenzhou? Is she alone?"

"Yes, Prince Cheng is still inspecting the East Market today."

"It takes two days to go from Lingzhou to Wenzhou. Jiang Hu, go out and spread the word for me that He Jingqi will be playing chess again at Huanxi Tower in half a month."

Jiang Hu agreed.

Jiang Yunxiao came in from the yard after practicing with his spear and hugged Yue Niang from behind: "Madam, do you want to sleep a little longer?"

Having said that, he carried Yue Niang into the inner room without caring whether she agreed or not.

It's noon again.

Cao Jin and Jiang Songrui went to the Huguo Temple to burn incense today, so they didn't need to pay their respects, so Yue Niang just stayed in bed.

Two days later, Yan Qi and his friends' vacation came to an end.

Jiang Yunxiao also prepared rooms for several people in the Duke of Xingguo's Mansion.

What Yue Niang didn't expect was that Yan Qi didn't rest at all: "Master, I have completed the task you assigned to Brother Jiang Hu."

Yue Niang looked at the mature Yan Qi and the few little followers beside him and said: "Yan Qi, I have been in trouble these past few years. Thank you for your hard work."

"Master, we are lucky to be able to follow you."

Yue Niang interrupted, "Let's not be sentimental anymore. How's Wan Cheng doing lately?"

Lian Xing was the first to jump out, his face full of envy. "He's so nice. Sister Ning treats him as an equal and they have a good relationship. He even opened another Tianyinfang in Wenzhou a while ago."

"Wenzhou? Please write a letter to him and ask him to help me keep an eye out for someone."

Lian Xing hurried to find paper and pen.

After finishing writing, Dongzhu’s dishes were served.

"Let's eat first."

The meal left Yue Niang with many emotions. She still remembered how reserved everyone was when they had their first meal together.

I even felt that I had completely adapted to this identity and even forgot about my "previous life".

Without giving it time to think, Jiang Yunxiao came in from outside.

"Yue'er, there's news from Tian's family."

"Where is it?" Yue Niang's words were filled with anxious anger, and the people at the table immediately entered a state of combat readiness.

Jiang Yunxiao said slowly: "Yaoxia Street."

Most of the people living in Yaoxia Street are businessmen, such as the tea merchant Xu family.

"Did Xu Tianke say that?" Yue Niang asked.

Although Xu Tianke was the head of the Xu family and a rich second-generation, he spent his life lavishly. It was he who took Jiang Yunxiao out for most of her eating, drinking and entertainment.

Yue Niang's expression was not good, and Jiang Yunxiao caught it in an instant: "Yue'er? Brother Tian Ke is not what you see. He is not completely useless."

Yue Niang naturally knew Jiang Yunxiao's explanation: "They are all families that have been in Lingzhou for hundreds of years. The education he received since childhood must have his strengths."

Yue Niang didn't say the second half of the sentence. She always felt that Xu Tianke was a sinister person and not very upright.

After calming down, Yue Niang said, "Husband, please thank Patriarch Xu for me."

What follows is the big show arranged by Yue Niang.

Tian Dezhong knew that Tian was still alive.

That day, Tian Dezhong used this evidence to find Tian's residence on Yaoxia Street.

Tian was furious as she looked at her brother: "You and I are truly enemies from our past lives. I don't know how much I owe you."

Tian took out the money and cursed: "You unlucky ghost, this is the last time I will give you money, you can do whatever you want."

Every time she said it was the last time, but Tian Dezhong was holding too many of her secrets. It was all her fault for being too soft-hearted before. She should have solved the problem directly.

Looking at Tian Dezhong, Tian was filled with murderous intent, but she was helpless because of her current identity and could not do such a thing.

Now the Third Prince has also grown tired of Fu Yuanniang, and all his porcelain has been bought out by Fu Yueniang, and now all of them are branded after the Jiang family.

Tian was really worried because she had no money.

Tian Dezhong weighed the bag of money in his hand, thinking about where to go to the gambling house.

When the brother and sister were harboring evil intentions, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them.

Tian Dezhong's eyes nearly popped out. He tentatively called out, "Madam? Feng'e?"

He saw the mother and daughter in front of him dressed in gorgeous clothes, with five or six bracelets on their hands and countless pearls and jade on their heads.

Chen slowly raised her head: "Ah? Husband, sister-in-law, why are you here?"

Seeing that it was really his wife and daughter, Tian Dezhong immediately changed his expression: "Shouldn't I be the one asking you this? Why don't you stay at home and run off to Yaoxia Street?"

Chen looked embarrassed: "Feng'e and I have redeemed ourselves and bought a house here."

"What do you mean by redemption? Where did you get the money?"

Tian Dezhong looked at the two people's clothes again and believed it a little: "Since there is a way to make money, why don't you go home?"

Chen's expression became even more difficult: "Husband, this is not a proper way to make money. I am also afraid of getting you into trouble."

Tian's thoughts were as devious as they could be: "Are you doing something like that? It's really a disgrace to our family."

Chen took off a valuable bracelet from her hand and shoved it into Tian's hand. "What are you thinking, little aunt? I used to watch your husband gamble a lot, so I just found a loophole and gambled a few times."

Upon hearing this, Tian Dezhong became interested: "Tell me about it in detail."

Chen drove Feng'e into the house first: "Feng'e, go back to your room first."

Then he invited the two of them to his house.

This house has three entrances and three exits, which made Tian Dezhong's eyes widen. He also felt that Chen was pretty and charming.

After sitting down in the hall, Chen asked the servants to serve tea: "I also went back to look for my husband, but the neighbors told me that you had already moved away."

But Tian Dezhong didn't want to hear any of this. He was just anxious to know how to win the bet.

Tian, who was standing by, naturally didn't want to listen to Chen's talk either, and urged her directly, "Don't say these useless things. How did you make your fortune?"

Chen dismissed the servants.

"There's a chess game going on at Huanxi Tower. I wonder if my aunt has heard about it?"

"I heard about it, and then what?"

Chen said, "In this game a while ago, do you know who the biggest winner was?" Chen continued.

But Tian couldn't bear her to keep keeping her in suspense: "If you have something to say, just say it all at once. Don't keep asking me. How would I know?"

Upon hearing this, Chen looked at Tian Dezhong, who was also anxious, and smiled softly, "It's the He family's young master."

"He Jingqi?" Tian asked.

Chen nodded: "That's right."

"Did he lose on purpose?" Tian finally reacted.

"Yes, I happened to overhear the He family's young master chatting when I was out with the boss a few days ago. The old man of the He family is ill and needs a large sum of money, so he came up with this bad idea. My husband and my sister-in-law, you can go to Huanxi Tower when you have time. Young master He has been winning the chess games these days."

Tian Dezhong and Tian Shi were confused: "Why is this?"

Chen glanced outside the door and whispered, "Because there's another match in about half a month, Mr. He will definitely lose this time."

"Who could have imagined that the son of a distinguished chess master family would lose twice to a butcher?"

"Because of filial piety." Chen looked very energetic when she said this.

They drank cup after cup of tea, and seeing that the two showed no sign of leaving, Chen didn't know what to do.

A maid came in from outside the door and said, "Madam, Old Madam Xu invites you to come to her house for a chat."

Tian and Tian Dezhong looked at Chen, and Tian said, "You go ahead. I'll take care of Feng'e."

The old woman continued, "Madam Xu said that Miss Feng'e should go too."

"Okay, then you and your daughter can go, and I will take care of the home." Tian Dezhong promised solemnly.

The old woman winked secretly, and Chen agreed: "Then I'll trouble you, my husband and my sister-in-law."

Chen took the sleepy Tian Feng'e out and got on the carriage.

In the Xu Mansion, Jiang Yunxiao, Yue Niang and Xu Tianke were tasting the new tea sent by Nanshan Village this year.

Feng'e was skipping and jumping in front, while Chen followed dejectedly behind.

"Miss Fu, I have already done what you asked me to do. What should I do next?"

Yue Niang looked at the two of them and said, "Aunt, are you and Feng'e a little scared? I'll let Lian Xing take you back to Yunzhou. Leave the rest to me."

Wan Cheng had appeared behind Yue Niang at some point. He was now looking at Chen, trying hard to remember every detail.

The reason why Chen was asked to bring Feng'e here was not only because he was worried that Tian and Tian Dezhong would see through her disguise, but more importantly, he wanted Chen to see what would happen to Tian Dezhong. If Chen didn't want to, she could leave at any time.

Unexpectedly, Chen shook her head and refused: "No, I'm not afraid. I want to see Tian Dezhong get his comeuppance."

Yue Niang looked at Chen and said, "Then you should stay at the Duke's Mansion for the next two days. Tian Dezhong is a gambler and he's capable of anything. I'm worried about your and Feng'e's safety."
