Marrying a concubine and swallowing her dowry? The mistress turns around and marries a high-ranking

Chapter 327

Chu Tianming wouldn't listen to what the Duke of Changguo said.

His mind was filled with thoughts of how Shen Jingyang had been crippled in both legs, but now Shen Jingyang had recovered and was leading troops into battle, while he himself was crippled in both hands and could no longer go to the battlefield.

The mere thought of this diametrically opposed reversal made him feel like he was going crazy.

Why was God so cruel to him?

Why was he given the opportunity to surpass Shen Jingyang, but then immediately thrown into an abyss?

Chu Tianming staggered back a few steps in despair, then collapsed to the ground, laughing and crying like a madman.

Marquis Changguo was almost driven to his death by his useless behavior.

He angrily shouted, "Can't you be a little more dignified! The Chu family spent a million taels of silver to save a good-for-nothing. If we had known, we wouldn't have wasted so much money on you!"

Chu Tianming laughed hysterically: "Useless! Haha! I am a piece of trash! Why did you save me? Did I force you to spend a million taels of silver? You might as well let me die, since I'm a piece of trash anyway!"

Marquis Changguo was so angry he was about to hit him, but his wife, Lady Changguo, cried and desperately held him back.

"My lord, please calm down... Tianming's hands are crippled, he must be feeling terrible right now. How could an ordinary person accept this so easily... My lord, give him some time, he will definitely be able to pull himself together..."

Marquis Changguo was both angry and heartbroken. He glared at Chu Tianming with disappointment and cursed, "You good-for-nothing!" before turning away.

He has more pressing and troublesome matters to consider now, and he doesn't have time to lecture Chu Tianming.

Marquis Changguo returned to his study and reviewed the accounts. There would be a large expenditure at the end of the month, but he didn't have much cash on hand.

Although some of the assets could be sold off, selling them hastily would only result in a fire sale, which is not a long-term solution. Marquis Changguo does not want the Chu family to fall to such a state.

He pondered for a moment, then ordered his servant to bring a carrier pigeon, wrote a letter, and sent it with him.

The homing pigeons fluttered into the sky and flew westward.

Marquis Changguo still intends to make a deal with Western Qi.

However, in the past, the Chu family provided supplies and weapons with their wealth and generosity, but now they want money.

The Western Qi suffered a major defeat at the beginning of this year and is currently in a state of stagnation. However, based on the Marquis of Changguo's understanding of the Western Qi emperor, he will definitely not give up so easily. He is definitely recuperating and planning to make a comeback.

Marquis Changguo could sell Beiyi's political and military secrets to Xiqi for tens or hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, which shouldn't be a problem. This was the fastest way he could think of to make money.

Although it was somewhat risky, Marquis Changguo had no choice but to take the gamble, and he was also eager to get the Chu family back on track as soon as possible.

Otherwise, if things continue like this, the Chu family will even have difficulty maintaining its operations.
