Chapter 63: The Minister of Revenue's Mansion
After leaving the drugstore, Shen Rou seemed to be strolling aimlessly on the street, but in fact she was checking the locations of the Minister of Revenue's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. She wanted to go to their mansions at night to see the scenery and see if she could find any storehouses or useful evidence.
I returned to the inn and entered the space, then lay down in the air-conditioned room to sleep, getting enough rest to be a thief at night.
As night fell and the hour of Xu arrived, she, dressed in a black nightgown, slowly and silently descended from the second-floor window where she lived.
Her movements were light and nimble, like a cat in the dark. Her daytime inspections had allowed her to determine the location of the Xue Mansion, and now she was heading in that direction.
Avoid the patrolling guards and follow the shadows along the wall.
She finally arrived at the door of Xue's house. The lantern at the door emitted a dim light, illuminating her cold and fierce face.
He went around to the remote backyard, rolled up his sleeves and pressed hard on his wrists. The Flying Tiger Claw flew towards the tree trunk in the yard. The Flying Tiger Claw was deeply inserted into the trunk. He pulled it hard, and after making sure it was firm, he flew into the yard following the pull of the wire rope. He quickly retracted the Flying Tiger Claw and looked around. After making sure it was safe, he moved towards the front yard.
The yard was silent, with only the occasional chirping of insects. She walked carefully, avoiding any possible noise.
After leaving the backyard and arriving at a lighted courtyard, she suddenly heard footsteps and quickly hid in a space. She only heard a servant complaining, "Master Jiang, your whole family are vampires. They have hands and feet but don't go out to earn money. They shamelessly ask you for money every day. The young lady is pregnant and has to worry about this."
"The Jiang family came from humble beginnings, and suddenly a scholar who passed the imperial examination was born into the family, they thought it was a great achievement, as if he were a high-ranking official in the capital. In the capital, a brick could knock down many fifth- and sixth-rank officials, but a sixth-rank official like him was simply not worth mentioning."
"The whole family is just lazy and eats a lot when they come to the capital, thinking that their son has a lot of salary every year. They may also think that the master is the Minister of Revenue and has endless money."
"Mr. Jiang's meager salary is not even enough to cover his family's expenses. If the master didn't think he was still useful, who would care about the life and death of his family?"
"That's right. That family looks poor and their greed is disgusting."
"Forget it, as slaves we just need to do our duty well."
"I just feel sorry for the young lady. She's so beautiful and a lady from a wealthy family, yet she married a widower like that."
"It's because the master is attracted by Jiang's talent, otherwise the young lady would definitely marry a nobleman from an official family in the capital."
Shen Rou was furious as she listened to their conversation in the space. She actually called Jiang Zongwei a widower. Damn it! Jiang Zongwei forced his wife to death, and he actually called her a widower. He was worse than an animal.
Their footsteps gradually faded away, and Shen Rou left the space angrily. This was the courtyard where Jiang Zongwei and that woman lived.
You live off women and even the servants in the mansion look down on you. Jiang Zongwei, your retribution has just begun.
Shen Rou suddenly heard a roaring voice in the room, "Jiang Zongwei, I'm telling you, if you dare to use my money to support the Jiang family again, I will have your entire family driven out of the capital and make them beggars."
"The whole family has hands and feet but they don't go out to earn money. They want twenty taels today and thirty taels tomorrow. Where can I get so much money for them?"
"Although my father is the Minister of Finance, he manages the national treasury for the Emperor, not our Xue family's money. Do they think our Xue family's money was blown away by the wind?"
"I only have a small monthly salary, and you use it all to support your family. If you do this again, I'll tell my father to drive these ants out of the capital and let them fend for themselves."
Jiang Zongwei looked at the unruly and headstrong young lady in front of him, and his heart was suddenly filled with helplessness and anger, but he did not dare to show it. After all, he still had to rely on her father to gain a foothold in officialdom.
He knew she had the temper of a young lady, but he didn't expect her words to be so harsh, saying that her parents were ants, and if her parents were ants, then what was she? This made him furious.
Even though he was furious, he still had to patiently coax Xue Ying. He held Xue Ying's hand tightly and said gently, "Madam, you are pregnant now. What if you have a miscarriage? You are the treasure of our family now. You can't have any mishaps."
"I'll tell my parents tomorrow that I'll only give them fifteen taels of silver a month for living expenses. After all, they've saved and saved for me to study for many years, and now that I'm able, I should repay them well."
"But they are too greedy. Ten taels of silver a month is enough for their family to live on. Just tell me how much silver they have spent in the past year since they came to the capital. Even if you give them all your 120 taels of annual salary, it still wouldn't be enough. They are just greedy and are forcing me to drive them away."
"I know you've been wronged by marrying me. I'll make it up to you in the future, okay?"
"If you know you've wronged me, send them back home right away. I can't stand the thought of their greedy faces."
"They asked us for so much money because of your brother's son."
"Xiaoyu is studying in Beijing, and the expenses are high. It would be a good thing for our father if he could get into high school."
"He's twelve or thirteen and hasn't passed the imperial examination yet. It's a blessing for a person like him to pass the imperial examination. How can I expect him to help my father?"
"Yes, yes, ma'am, that's what you said."
"I'll give you another two months to deal with them, otherwise you won't be able to see the child even after he's born."
"How can I not see my son? I only have this one son, and I'm counting on him to bring honor to my family and make a name for myself."
"Don't you still have a son? You can go find the son you abandoned and ask him to bring honor to your family."
"I only recognize the son you gave birth to me. I don't recognize any children born to other women. Didn't I sell them at your command?"
"Did your eldest daughter, who was possessed by a ghost, die in the fire? The two servants in the mansion haven't returned yet, and I don't know if they escaped."
"Don't worry! I threatened the village chief and he wouldn't dare to protect Daya. He would have turned into ashes long ago."
Shen Rou stood on the eaves of the corridor and listened to the conversation between the couple. She was immediately furious and her eyes were vicious. She didn't expect Jiang Zongwei to be so vicious. Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, but you are worse than an animal. You actually did this to your own daughter.
Shen Rou gnashed her teeth and said, "Jiang Zongwei, just wait. I'll let you live a little longer and go to the underworld to see your son!"
