"Slow down and catch your breath." Granny Yan had a pleasant expression on her face and was very friendly.
She was very good to her own people, so everyone under her was willing to work for her. This was also the reason why Lady Yan could win the favor of the nobles.
She was very good at winning people's hearts.
The servant panted gratefully for a while before his breathing calmed down slightly." The Wang family has opened a calligraphy hall!" Many people went to learn how to write and even paid them!”
Granny Yan frowned and said softly," Tell me in detail!”
The servant immediately described the lively scene he had seen with his own eyes. Including the grand occasion of those women crazily wanting to send their children to Wei Jie.
Granny Yan felt that something bad was about to happen.
She had guaranteed in front of Dong Bai that Wei Jie would be able to enter the Dong Residence with a clean slate within half a month.
He brought a hundred taels of silver to matchmake, but Wang Xizhi refused.
Then don't blame her for being ruthless.
He had originally planned to poison Wang Xizhi to death without anyone knowing, and while Wei Jie had no one to rely on, he planned to sell himself to bury his father.
Who would have thought that Wang Xizhi was so stubborn that he still wanted to leave Wei Jie a way out when he was about to die?
As long as the Calligraphy Hall was established, Wei Jie would have a source of income. Even if Wang Xizhi died, he could continue to live.
At that time, how would he clean her up and give her to Dong Bai?
He had already used 900 taels of silver to pay off his gambling debt.
If he couldn't pay or hand over the person, Dong Bai would cut him up.
She really could do it!
The more Granny Yan thought about it, the more terrified she became. Her entire heart was trembling.
That's right! Taking advantage of the fact that Wei Jie hadn't developed into a successful person, he had ruined the Calligraphy Hall!
After making a scene, the people who were learning how to write dispersed.
If they didn't disperse, they would cause a ruckus until they did!
Granny Yan's eyes were filled with malice as she quickly came up with an idea.
He said to the servant boy," Take my name card and invite Mi Qianhu from the Militia Institute to come over for a chat!”
After thinking about it, she felt that it was inappropriate. She jumped off the chair and said," Forget it, I'll go there myself!”
Militia were not part of the regular army established by the court. They were only used as cannon fodder. Their salary was only forty percent of the regular army, but they were a force that could not be underestimated.
Because the money given was too little, the imperial court could only use other methods to appease them. If he committed any minor offenses outside, he would turn a blind eye.
As time passed, these militia formed a gang and bullied the people, but no one cared.
Militia Thousand-Hu Leader Mi Lan was once a frequent visitor to Heavenly Fragrance Tower and was familiar with Granny Yan. It was she who helped Granny Yan befriend the noble.
Later on, Granny Yan's network became wider than Mei Lan's, and the two of them became estranged.
Granny Yan hurriedly brought the valuable gifts and went straight to the Militia Thousand Households.
When he saw Mei Lan, she was drinking.
"What brings you here?"
Mei Lan was in her early forties. She had a square face with high cheekbones, slightly dark skin, and a tall figure. She was wearing a standard armor that only a Thousand Households Official could wear, which made her look quite imposing.
She held a wine glass in her hand, and her cheeks were flushed with drunkenness. There were two young men with rather delicate looks serving her carefully.
Granny Yan had used some tricks to get these two people, making Mei Lan spend a little money to get them.
Therefore, when they looked at Granny Yan, their eyes revealed a trace of undetectable hatred.
Granny Yan didn't care at all. They were just two small characters, not worth worrying about.
Hearing the displeasure in Mei Lan's tone, Lady Yan took out a gift box that she had already prepared. After opening it, a medicine bottle appeared.
Mei Lan's eyes lit up. She knew that there was a good medicine inside that could allow her to show off her power.
Hence, he said to the people beside him," You two can leave!”
The two of them heaved a sigh of relief and hurriedly left.
After he left, Lady Yan took the initiative to pour wine for him.
"Hehe, I can't! You're now a popular person in the circle of wealthy families. How can I trouble you to pour me wine?”
Her words were sour.
Thinking back to when Mei Lan visited the brothel, Granny Yan had entertained her quite a bit. Because she had a good impression of Granny Yan, she introduced her to a few friends.
Who knew that this brothel madame was a shrewd person. She was doing well step by step, causing Mei Lan's eyes to turn red.
Humph! Even if he was no longer in the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, he was still a pimp! What was there to be proud of?
Mei Lan snorted coldly in her heart. She must have something to ask for since she had brought gifts over. She was just waiting for Granny Yan to speak.
Granny Yan said gently with a smile," Mi Qianhu, we're old acquaintances. If it weren't for you, there wouldn't be the current Granny Yan. We should give you a toast."”
When Mei Lan heard this, she became even more furious. She felt that Granny Yan was mocking her for not doing well these years.
He raised his thick eyebrows slightly and said coldly," If you have anything to say, just say it. You know I don't like to play dumb.”
Lady Yan smiled." Qian Hu is still as straightforward as before. I won't hide it from you. Actually, I have a favor to ask of you."”
She explained a little about Wei Jie.
His words were vague and full of hints, letting Mei Lan know that a certain noble had taken a fancy to a commoner young man. He wanted to bring him into the residence but did not want to give him a status, so he was just playing around.
Mei Lan immediately understood.
Granny Yan had taken on the task, but now she couldn't handle it, so she wanted her to go out and be the evil person who bullied the good.
It wasn't like Mei Lan had never done such a thing before.
But why was it that the greatest benefit was taken by Lady Yan when she was the evil person?
" I've been in this Thousand Households Bureau for almost 20 years. I've been working diligently to protect the safety of the capital, but no one knows of my loyalty to the court. Sigh, in a few years, I will be old and will have to retire from my position. On account that we know each other, this is the last time I will help you.”
Granny Yan cursed in her heart,
What last time? I've never helped you!
What sincerity? Do you think I don't know that you're sitting in this position and collecting protection fees everywhere? All kinds of IOUs. Don't you think your life is too comfortable?
To put it bluntly, he wanted to use the connections to get close to a noble so that he could get a proper position in the court to clear his name so that he wouldn't be punished in the future!
If it wasn't for the urgency of the matter, Granny Yan wouldn't have come to find Mei Lan for help.
Helpless, she could only let out a little bit of information. She pointed above her head, indicating that the big shot above had entrusted this matter.
"After the matter is done, I will definitely put in a good word for you in front of that lord.”
Hearing this, Mei Lan rolled her eyes and thought that her chance had come. As long as you can capture the man you like, do you need your kind words? I'll just go and take credit for it myself.
Mei Lan downed a cup and said proudly," Since that's the case, I'll definitely help you with this!”
Lady Yan was overjoyed and smiled." I'll be waiting for your good news!"”
