Liu Wen was about to cry as he grumbled to Jia Lian.
"No, don't tell me I'll be beheaded if I don't find out in three days.”
Jia Lian was shocked when he heard this and hurriedly asked Liu Wen.
"What? You only have to chop off my head and you have the time to sit here and eat tea!”
Liu Wen was instantly unhappy when he heard Jia Lian's words. He put one hand on his waist and pointed at Jia Lian with the other as he questioned him angrily.
"No, no, no, how is that possible?
Even if I wish for someone to die, I can't wish for you to die!
We're blood brothers who've sworn an oath.”
Seeing that Liu Wen was angry, Jia Lian hurriedly explained.
After dealing with the Rong Mansion, he invited Liu Wen to a banquet. At that time, both of them were happy and could not help but drink a little too much. After drinking to their heart's content, both of them felt that the other party was to their liking, so they swore an oath of blood on the spot and became sworn brothers.
Liu Wen's age was about the same as Jia She's, so Jia Lian could be considered to have picked up a bargain and gained a super seniority with the help of alcohol.
The next day, after Liu Wen sobered up, he recalled the oath of brotherhood with Jia Lian and regretted it very much. However, the matter had already become a foregone conclusion.
He couldn't just turn his back on her.
"You still know that we are brothers? If you still know that we are brothers, then investigate this matter clearly.
Otherwise, three days later, we brothers will be companions on the road to hell and be brothers again in our next life.”
"Anyway, I'm already so old and have many children and grandchildren. I've already enjoyed the happiness of family. On the other hand, you're still young and have a limitless future…"
Hearing Jia Lian's words, Liu Wen snorted and said to Jia Lian.
Hearing Liu Wen's words, Jia Lian wanted to slap himself. What was this?
Why did she have to find trouble for herself?
"Good brother, I think we can't investigate so blatantly now. Such a blatant investigation will definitely make them wary.
In my opinion, we should bring some people to make an unannounced visit.”
"Doesn't the Internal Affairs Bureau purchase things outside every day? Then let's go and investigate.
I don't believe that I can't find any clues.”
Jia Lian put his arm around Liu Wen's shoulder and coaxed him.
"Yes, what you said is not without reason. However, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Revenue. They are so controlling and deceiving the Saints.”
"So, in order to avoid alerting the Ministry of Revenue, you go to the Ministry of Official Personnel and mobilize the Ministry of Official Personnel to change into plain clothes and lie in ambush. As long as you find out, you can directly arrest the person with the stolen goods.”
"If we can't find out, we'll…investigate!”
Liu Wen stroked his beard and felt that Jia Lian's words made sense.
After thinking for a moment, she started planning with Jia Lian.
Just like that, the two of them chatted for a long time and agreed to meet at the purchasing point of the Internal Affairs Office before leaving to prepare.
…
At Jia She's residence in the back of Rong Mansion…
" Now that Brother Lian is getting more and more capable, Shen Shen's position as the Saint's Favor Officer is also getting bigger and bigger. However, you two have only had one child in recent years, Niuniu. Isn't Niuniu the only one who inherited the family business? So…"
"So, I was thinking that you should arrange a concubine for Brother Lian.
This YiNiang doesn't want someone from a rich family or someone who knows how to read and be polite…"
"As long as she looks good and can give birth, it's fine.”
Lady Xing sat at the head of the table and spoke to Wang Xifeng.
In the past, she was the housekeeper of the second household, and she was oppressed by Grandmother Jia until she could not breathe. Now that Jia Lian was the head of the household, Jia Lian was becoming more and more promising.
Therefore, she began to be tempted. She wanted to find a few beautiful concubines for Jia Lian to make him happy so that she, the Eldest Mistress of Rong Country, could have more say in the residence.
"There's no need for Madam to worry about this matter. Second Master is busy every day now. If there are too many concubines, Second Master's body will definitely be injured. Moreover, daughter-in-law is still young. We can still have more children…"
"If Second Master wants YiNiang, you only need to tell me. I will naturally arrange it for Second Master.”
Hearing Madam Xing's words, Wang Xifeng was furious.
However, due to Madam Xing's identity, she did not flare up. She only calmly replied to Madam Xing.
"I know that Brother Lian is busy, and it is precisely because Brother Lian is busy with these trivial matters that we girls will arrange for Brother Lian.”
"Sister Feng, I know what you're thinking, but which capable man doesn't have three wives and four concubines?
Brother Lian had not had a concubine in all these years, but he should have a few now.”
"Even if you don't think about Brother Lian, you should think about your own reputation…If Brother Lian doesn't have an aunt, outsiders will say that you're jealous.”
Mrs. Xing naturally knew that Wang Xifeng was a jealous person. However, things were different now. Jia Lian's identity was different. He needed her, the First Madam, to secretly curry favor with him.
Moreover, she was Jia Lian's mother in name, so she naturally had to arrange for Jia Lian to be by his side.
"Back then, Second Master and his daughter-in-law worked under the Second household. Second Master was always out of tune. At that time, even if Second Master did not return home at night, his daughter-in-law, who was out drinking, had never despised Second Master. Now, Second Master…"
"Now that Second Master has become an important official in the court, his position is getting bigger and bigger. However, Second Master is still Second Master in my eyes. No matter how powerful or rich Second Master is, I don't care because I have given my heart to Second Master. My heart for Second Master is much more precious than these.”
Wang Xifeng couldn't help but reveal some anger on her face. She watched as Madam Xing expressed her firm stance to her very seriously.
He told Madam Xing that he and Jia Lian were true love, that he didn't despise Jia Lian in the past and didn't care about Jia Lian's glory now.
As long as she could be with Jia Lian, she would be content.
She would definitely agree if she said that she wanted to stuff vixens around Jia Lian.
Of course, she, Wang Xifeng, had the looks, the figure, and the ability to bear children. She had all the requirements that Jia Lian had for a wife.
If she could serve Jia Lian alone, why would she share her husband's love with other girls?
"You…you're really stupid. A woman can only rely on a man to live her life. When she was young, she followed her father, grew up, followed her husband, and grew old.
What you should do now is not to tie Brother Lian to your side, but to follow Brother Lian's wishes…"
"If you make Brother Lian happy, your days will be better and better. People like you can only rely on your current youth and beauty. When you reach my age and Brother Lian is tired of you, will you still have your current glory?”
Seeing that Wang Xifeng was stubborn, Madam Xing was about to lose her patience.
She clenched her fists and started to persuade Wang Xifeng.
"If Second Master is tired of me, that is my fate. As for Madam and daughter-in-law, I will still say the same thing…If Second Master wants YiNiang and daughter-in-law, not only will she not stop him, but she will also help him choose and arrange them.”
Wang Xifeng lost her patience. She stood up and said something to Madam Xing indifferently, then bowed slightly to her before turning around and leaving.
