Never divorce, never stop getting rich
Chapter 17: A Group of Old Scholars
"Just let me touch it, just one touch."
The disgusting tone and disgusting attitude made Qian Qiansui frown uncomfortably.
Lai Shun saw this and immediately yelled at the man, "Who is that? The constable hasn't left yet. Do you want to go to jail?"
The man was stunned on the spot, and the woman he teased was hiding in the dark and sobbing.
Seeing that the other party was distracted, she immediately ran away in panic, deliberately covering her face. She was obviously an innocent and poor woman.
"Who are you? How dare you interfere in my affairs? Find out who I am..."
It was obvious that the man was usually rude and arrogant, and he came over with a swagger, looking for trouble.
Qian Qiansui was helped by his maid into the carriage. Lai Shun and the family portrait blocked the man. He raised his chin and pointed at the family emblem on the carriage. That was a seal that could only be printed on the Anshun Marquisate.
The other party was obviously not ignorant. He spat secretly, turned around and ran away.
"Who was that just now?"
Qian Qiansui lifted the car curtain and asked the family portrait following outside.
"That boy's name is Mao Dong. He has a complicated background. His father doesn't hold a high position, just an ordinary constable. But he's lucky.
His aunt was favored by a playboy from a branch of the royal family, who took her in as his concubine. He had a good relationship with his aunt and often visited her by taking advantage of her favor, thus establishing connections with the group of playboys in the capital.
To put it bluntly, he is someone's lackey. He is able to get along with everyone, so the superiors are willing to keep him around. Privately, he also has a lot of younger brothers with him.
When he is not entertaining his superiors, he takes his little brothers to collect protection fees from businesses with no background in this area, and he also likes to flirt with young girls and wives.
He didn't do anything bad enough to go to jail, but all his neighbors hated him.
The girls would hide away from him, and his father couldn't control her, so he became discouraged."
Quan Jiafu helped the Marquis buy a house here, and had already inquired about the surrounding situation many times. Mao Dong was just a small figure, and in the eyes of merchants and ordinary people, he was a difficult thorn in the side.
But in the eyes of the serious and powerful people like the Marquis' Mansion, it is just a small toy and not worth mentioning.
Qian Qiansui responded and leaned against the wall of the carriage again, because the system began to show that her mission this time was completed again.
[The mission to find a capable assistant (2 people) was successful.]
【Reward: One random draw. 】
Qian Qiansui had originally wanted to let the system automatically draw the prize, but after seeing Rice, he moved a little. The War God Pill was so powerful, who knew what would happen this time.
【smoke! 】
It seemed that both the system's draw and hers were counted on her. If these things had hidden prices, she might have been heavily in debt long ago.
If this turns out to be a trap, the worst that could happen is that she will just lie down. She has experienced this before. However, she should try to spend as little of the reward on herself as possible so that she can have bargaining chips when the time comes.
[Congratulations! The host has won the Xumi Illusion (item), which is a permanent item.
System Suggestion: The market is ever-changing, and transactions often make or break a deal. To increase the success rate of negotiations, use the Xumi Illusion to simulate negotiation scenarios and understand the other party's cards. This will help the host be invincible on the road to business!
This time it's actually a prop, and it doesn't need to be used exclusively by anyone.
[There won't be any additional conditions or fees associated with using this item.]
Qian Qiansui asked cautiously.
[Once you have drawn it, it becomes the host's property. Whether or not to use it, and how to use it, is the host's freedom.]
[Can this thing create an illusion? ]
Qian Qiansui asked another question, although she felt that she would not need it for the time being.
【All kinds of changes, as you wish.】
Hiss—it’s a tough one.
The carriage returned to the mansion smoothly, but the doorman did not come to open the gate. The whole family saw a group of people gathered at the door from a distance.
They all wore long robes and high buns. Some had gray hair at the temples, and some had completely white hair.
These old men were driven away by the chief steward and his guards armed with sticks. They stood helplessly at the door and struggled to argue.
"The academy cannot be demolished, absolutely not!
This academy has a history of several hundred years. Although it is now in decline, many of the famous scholars in the imperial court in the early years came from our academy."
"When the Marquis took over the academy, he promised to expand it. Why is he demolishing it right after the old dean passed away? This... is simply a breach of trust!"
Su Guang, the chief steward of the Marquis' Mansion, snorted coldly and said:
"Before, that was before. You all know the current situation of the academy. We can't recruit many students, and large areas of the buildings are empty. Who will pay for the huge amount of money for repairs every year?
You old bastards? You are still our Marquis! I advise you to be smart and get out of here quickly, so as not to lose all your face."
"You! I don't believe it. I want to see the Marquis!"
"Yes, we want to see the Marquis!"
"Let us in. Even if it costs us our lives, we must see the Marquis!"
Two guards stood on each side, with wooden sticks crossed to block the way into the mansion.
"Enough! To tell you the truth, the order to demolish the academy was given by the Marquis. I'm also telling you that after the academy is demolished, a summer resort will be built.
Even if you die on the mountain, that piece of land will no longer be a school!"
After Su Guang finished speaking, he went to the yard, but he was upset. The Marquis had disappeared since yesterday. He searched everywhere the Marquis might have been, but he couldn't find him.
He has already notified someone to invite the Marquis's usual staff, and there will probably be news soon. He doesn't have time to get entangled with these useless old guys.
"What are you demolishing? The academy won't be demolished!"
The woman's voice came slowly and lightly, as if it had no weight, but it shocked the group of old scholars.
"Excuse me, madam, who is..."
Lai Shun immediately responded, "This is our Marquis's wife!"
The whole family glanced at Su Guang's back, wiped the sweat off their face, and cursed him for being such a lackey, but when they thought of their indenture, they had to shout to the doorman:
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and open the door! The Madam is back!"
Su Guang looked back in surprise. He never expected that the marquis's newlywed wife was sitting in the carriage.
Because of the role of this woman, anyone who is slightly close to the Marquis knows how she can go out so casually.
"What did you say……"
As if responding to Su Guang's question, the voice in the carriage rang out again: "The academy will continue to operate. This is the Marquis's intention. He has other deeper meanings."
Su Guang immediately said: "Impossible!"
The Marquis's decision to convert the academy into a summer resort was not made recently.
He had made this plan before he tried to find a way to buy the academy. Otherwise, why would the Marquis, who never does business at a loss, set his sights on a dilapidated century-old academy?
"What's impossible? How can you prove that this isn't what the Marquis said..."
Qian Qiansui lifted the carriage curtain with his white wrist and looked at Su Guang without any guilt.
Sooner or later, this butler will have to be replaced, not to mention how hated he is in the novel, even though she despises illegal activities such as gambling.
But she felt it was unlucky to have such a person with such a name.
