Marry the villain and the whole court kneels down and calls her the queen

Jiang Jiu exclaimed: "What? Chang Zhili was burned to death? Mingyue was also seriously injured? Let's go and take a look."

After all, it was County Magistrate Jiang who raised her, so she still had to care about him when something like this happened.

Moreover, the last time Jiang Mingyue came to see her, the two of them had an unpleasant quarrel. Jiang Jiu also always wanted to visit Jiang Liu, but was delayed due to various things.

It would be unacceptable not to go and see it now.

Jiang Jiu simply picked up some medicinal herbs and brought Xia Zhi to the Chang family.

This house was rented by Jiang Mingyue in Sucheng. It caught fire. The owner was so angry that he stomped his feet in front of the ruins. The good yard was gone, and people lost their lives.

The bodies of Chang Zhili and the old lady of the Chang family were placed in the yard, covered with white cloth. From a distance, one could see that their exposed arms were charred.

Surrounded by officers, County Magistrate Jiang sighed repeatedly.

Jiang Jiu saw this and went forward: "Uncle, how is Mingyue?"

County Magistrate Jiang sighed even harder: "After she was rescued, she was burned beyond recognition and was sent to the hospital."

Jiang Jiu looked at the blackened room that was burned, and always felt that something was wrong.

Why did Chang Zhili and his mother die? In Jiang Mingyue's previous life, Chang Zhili passed the imperial examination and won the third place. Will Jiang Mingyue let it go after his death?

Jiang Jiu had never seen anyone live such a miserable life after being reborn.

I always feel that things shouldn't be this way.

Seeing that the officers were inspecting the scene, she had no intention of interfering.

"Sir, we've found the source of the fire. It was the candle in the study..."

The officers then deduced that Chang Zhili was reading by candlelight, and he was so sleepy that he fell asleep on the table. Unexpectedly, he knocked over a candle nearby, causing the fire.

Next to the study was Old Lady Chang's room, which also suffered the disaster.

As for Jiang Mingyue's room, because Old Madam Chang didn't want her to delay her son, she let her and Chang Zhili live in separate rooms, and she was safe and sound.

Jiang Mingyue's injuries were caused by fighting the fire.

When the night watchman came to report that he had discovered the fire and asked everyone to come and put out the fire, Jiang Mingyue had already fainted beside him. If they had not discovered him in time, he would have been engulfed by the fire.

County Magistrate Jiang will handle the rest of the matter himself, and Jiang Jiu is no longer concerned about it.

He went to the clinic instead, and as soon as he entered, he saw Jiang Liu guarding a mummy-like person wrapped in bandages, crying non-stop.

"Aunt, is this Mingyue?"

Jiang Jiu's tears also fell: "How did it become like this?"

Jiang Liu and Jiang Jiu hugged each other and cried for a while, and Jiang Liu began to comfort her.

"At least my life was saved, but my appearance has changed. Alas, I'm afraid I'll never be able to get married in this life."

Jiang Jiu sighed faintly: "That's fine, it's okay, aunt, I will find precious medicinal herbs for Mingyue and restore her former beauty."

Jiang Jiu handed the precious medicinal herbs he brought to Jiang Liu.

Jiang Liu patted her hands and said lovingly, "Don't worry about us. Now you are in the prince's mansion. Serve the prince well. As long as you can win the prince's favor, your uncle will be taken care of for your sake."

"To be honest, the prefect has already recommended your uncle to the court to become the governor of Sucheng. The former governor will accompany the prefect to the capital to report on his work. If the prefect is promoted, the former governor will also stay in the capital."

Is there going to be such a big personnel change for the governor of Sucheng?

Jiang Jiu intuitively felt that the changes here were closely related to the Ninth Prince and the imperial court.

It seems that Jiang Mingyue was injured, but Jiang County Magistrate was promoted instead. I don’t know whether I should congratulate him or sympathize with him.

With mixed feelings, Jiang Jiu sat with Jiang Liu for a while before returning to the palace.

It was not until he arrived in Beijing that Jiang Jiu understood Jiang Liu's conspiracy. This is a story for later.

What Jiang Jiu didn't know at this time was that Jiang Mingyue had already disguised herself and left Su City under the escort of the escort agency to go to Beijing to "recognize her father."

And Jiang Jiu still has a long time before he goes to Beijing.

When Jiang Jiu returned to the mansion, Mudan quickly came to greet her, looking at her with worried eyes: "Madam, I heard that the prince has been staying in the assassin's room for most of the day, and even Princess Qiyang was alarmed."

This means that Jiang Jiu is going to fall out of favor.

Jiang Jiu, however, didn't care at all and advised her: "Don't follow others and talk nonsense. What the prince wants to do is not something you and I can control. The palace has strict rules and regulations. Be careful with what you say and do."

Mudan sighed softly and nodded: "Is Madam's family okay?"

Jiang Jiu didn't really care: "It's okay, don't worry about me. I asked you to check the accounts with Aunt Zhao, how are they going?"

Mudan frowned. "Not so good. Over the years, more than two-thirds of our customers have left, and the revenue isn't as high anymore. Aunt Zhao's accounts are very detailed, and I'm still learning."

Jiang Jiu patted her shoulder and said, "Study hard, and I'll hand over these jobs to you later. Being an accountant is much better than being a concubine of the prince in name only."

Mudan smiled sincerely, "Peony asked me to ask Madam if her pastry shop is still open?"

Doing a profitable business and holding the money in your own hands is better than anything else.

"Open, tell her to find Xiao Yimo and ask him to find a place for the dim sum shop. There are two streets in the East and West Markets of Sucheng, both of which are shops owned by Yiye Pianzhou. The land deeds and house deeds are in Xiao Yimo's hands."

Mudan opened her mouth in surprise: "A whole street?"

The obsession of the time traveler is to buy houses, land, and real estate.

No matter how hard they try to snatch the business, the real estate cannot be taken away. Qin Yuan handed these house deeds and land deeds to Jiang Jiu when Jiang Jiu brought Nanny Qian to find Nanny Zhao and Qin Yuan for the first time.

The key point is that these commercial streets are not only in Sucheng, but every larger city has one.

There was a thick stack of documents scattered all over the country of Li. Not to mention Jiang Jiu, even Xiao Yimo was dumbfounded.

"Xiaojiu, your grandmother is much richer than you."

Otherwise, how could a lone boat be called the richest man in Jiangnan?

In addition to the commercial street, there are also farmlands, each of which has hundreds of acres.

In these cities, the tax collected by a lone boat accounts for more than half of the city's total.

The more Jiang Jiu watched, the more frightened he became, so he guessed that Princess Qi Yang's visit this time might be targeting Yi Ye Gu Zhou.

"Mudan, whoever wants to open a shop in the future, as long as they think they can make money and live a good life, they can go to Xiao Yimo and ask him to help choose a place."

Mudan was very happy: "Then we sisters will be blessed in the future. But, Madam, from now on, Mudan must follow you. Wherever you go, I will go there too."

Jiang Jiu returned to the courtyard of Prince Qi's Mansion. Sure enough, Lu Ming was looking into the room anxiously. When he saw Jiang Jiu coming back, he hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Madam is back. Go and persuade the prince. He hasn't come out yet. Miss Niaoniao has lost her memory..."

Niaoniao was brought back to the palace, and Imperial Physician Cao treated her.
