After traveling through time, I led the whole village to become rich!

When Shangshu Wu returned to the Ministry of Revenue, he immediately asked the Vice Minister of Revenue, Wang Changming, to deliver the things that Emperor Yongxing wanted.

Marquis Jing'an and Hong Jinhai also entered the palace.

Emperor Yongxing glanced through the archives and then said to Hong Jinhai, "Hong Jinhai, I have a mission for you."

"Your Majesty, please give your orders."

Emperor Yongxing pointed to the archives and said, "Go through these lists and verify one by one whether these people really exist. If so, verify whether they have received the annual pension from the court. Let Wang Changming serve as your deputy."

Hong Jinhai and Wang Changming's eyelids twitched, but they both quickly accepted the order, "Your Majesty, I accept the order."

Emperor Yongxing then spoke again, "Marquis Jing'an, you are responsible for leading the people to protect them and all personnel handling the case. This is a secret investigation, and no information must be leaked."

Marquis Jing'an immediately accepted the order, "Your Majesty, I obey."

This is not protection, it's surveillance, okay?

Hong Jinhai and Wang Changming were secretly dissatisfied.

Emperor Yongxing then threw a sign to Marquis Jing'an and said, "If you encounter any obstruction during your investigation, I will give you the power to act at your own discretion."

Hong Jinhai and Wang Changming's eyelids twitched again. This meant that if anyone dared to obstruct the investigation, Marquis Jing'an could execute them first and report later.

It seems that this matter is not ordinary, the two people thought at the same time.

After explaining the matter, Emperor Yongxing asked the three to dispatch the necessary personnel, and then the palace servants went to summon them.

As soon as the three of them had the necessary personnel, they immediately left the capital. Wang Changming and Hong Jinhai had no chance to contact anyone.

……

When Lord Wang returned home, Madam Yang turned her face away and said, "You old fellow, you've been away for so long, and you've finally decided to come back?"

Old Lord Wang's face didn't look very good. Ye Hongling thought there was something wrong with Wang Xingren's marriage and felt a little worried.

Lord Wang said, "I have proposed marriage to Xingren, and Xingren's marriage has been decided."

Upon hearing this, Madam Yang immediately flew into a rage, "What did you say? You arranged a marriage for Xingren?"

"Which girl did you choose for Xingren?"

"Such a big thing, why didn't you discuss it with me?"

Old Madam Yang was obviously very angry.

Ye Hongling was relieved, not because of Wang Xingren's marriage problem.

Lord Wang said, "I went to see Xingren and happened to meet a beautiful girl. Beautiful girls are hard to come by, and it would be a pity to miss the opportunity, so I arranged it for him directly. Xingren also happened to be interested in that girl."

Madam Yang looked at Marquis Wang, her chest heaving. After a while, she finally spoke, "What kind of marriage did you arrange for Xingren?

I have already agreed with Xiaorong that Li He will be betrothed to Xingren. How can I tell Xiaorong if you are like this?

"Did you ask Xingren for his opinion before you betrothed Li He to him? Don't be so wishful thinking here. It's Xingren who will be living with you from now on, not you."

Madam Yang was very dissatisfied and said, "Why wouldn't Xingren be willing? He and Li He grew up together, they can be said to be childhood sweethearts. There is no one more suitable than Li He."

Lord Wang waved his hand and said, "There's no need to discuss this further. I've already arranged a marriage for Xingren, and he's willing."

Madam Yang was about to say something more, but Ye Hongling stepped forward and patted her on the back, saying, "Mom, Dad just came back from outside and must be exhausted. Let him rest first. You should calm down too. If you have anything to say, we can talk later."

Madam Yang said, "You, as a mother, are also not interested in Xingren's marriage at all."

Ye Hongling complained in her heart, "You say you don't care, then don't care?"

But she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, mother is right. I will definitely correct my behavior in the future."

"Okay, mother, please don't be angry, or you'll get sick from anger. My daughter-in-law has an appointment with the daughter-in-law of Minister Wu. The time is almost up, so I'm leaving first. Please don't be angry..."

After saying this, Ye Hongling left in a hurry, as if she was in a hurry.

Old Lord Wang also left to wash up and have a good sleep.

Only Old Madam Yang and the maid were left in the hall. Old Madam Yang had a lot to say, but she kept it all in her heart.

She sighed heavily and said to the nanny, "Go and invite my aunt over and tell her that I have something to ask her."

"Yes, old lady."

Wang Xiaorong and Li He soon arrived at the Wang Mansion.

Old Madam Yang told the story about the marriage arranged by Old Marquis Wang to Wang Xingren.

Wang Xiaorong said loudly: "Mother, you promised to marry Li He to Xingren..."

Li He cried and said, "Grandma, what's going on? You agreed to it, how could Grandpa arrange another marriage for my cousin? I don't care, I want to marry my cousin..."

Wang Xiaorong added, "Mom, we've just been engaged. We can call it off. Just ask Dad to call it off."

"Yes, yes, let grandpa cancel my cousin's marriage." Li He also said quickly.

Although Old Madam Yang dared to turn her back on Old Marquis Wang, she still didn't dare to tell him to cancel the marriage because of the decision he had made.

Madam Yang sighed, "Xiaorong, how about letting Li He become Xingren's second wife?"

"What?" Wang Xiaorong exploded. "Mom, how can you let Li He be a concubine? Li He must be the first wife."

Wang Xiaorong then said, "Dad is back, right? I'll go find him.

We have no objection to the marriage he arranged for Xingren, but she can only be his concubine, and Li He can be Xingren's principal wife."

Madam Yang said, "You'd better not go look for your father now. He seems to be in a bad mood. I don't know what happened. You'd better not go and bring bad luck upon him."

"Your father is resting now. I'll ask him for details after he's rested."

"I don't know which girl he has chosen for Xingren. If there's room for maneuver, that would be great. If not, then Li He will have to endure this."

Wang Xiaorong felt wronged, "Mom, you promised me..."

Madam Yang stroked Wang Xiaorong's head and said softly, "Alas... I'm sorry for you. I didn't expect it to be so sudden."

Li He also felt aggrieved. "Grandma, you must help me. I will only marry my cousin. I don't want to be a concubine. If I can't marry my cousin as the principal wife, then I..."

Li He bit her lip and said, "Then I will become a nun..."

"You silly child, what nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Xiaorong hugged Li He and cried sadly, "Silly daughter, please don't do anything. If you become a nun, what will happen to your mother?"

Li He also cried and said, "Mom, I don't want to do this either. But I don't want to see my cousin marry another woman. My cousin can only be mine..."

When Madam Yang heard Li He's words, she felt a little unhappy. What did she mean by not wanting to see her Xingren marry another woman? What did she mean by Xingren could only be hers?

Although Mrs. Yang agreed to let Li He marry Wang Xingren, she also allowed Wang Xingren to marry more wives to expand the Wang family.

She only has one son, and no one knows what means Ye Hongling used to make her son refuse to marry a concubine and revolve around Ye Hongling alone.
