Hu Mei was actually very surprised about Wang Zhaodi.

Let's say she doesn't know anything. She now has the entire Wang family firmly in her hands. All the maids and women in the mansion have been quietly replaced at some point. Except for the people in the main courtyard, they have not been touched.

Almost all the rest have undergone major changes.

But if Wang Zhaodi noticed something, she honestly guarded her own courtyard and left the spacious and magnificent main courtyard for Hu Mei, an outsider.

In fact, Hu Mei really overthought it, and He Xiaoman simply felt resentful about being in charge of the hospital.

When she thought of the scumbag Jing Heng and Hu Mei making sauce in the main courtyard, He Xiaoman didn't even bother to donate her feet to that rotten place, let alone live there by herself.

So Mrs. Jiang took her son Lin Zuiran to visit the Wang family, only to find that living in the main courtyard was Mrs. Hu, who was said to have been sprayed bloody by the state prisoner's wife Cao Ling. Of course, the so-called bloody head was just a state prison.

According to the prison wife's own words, Jiang Linxue didn't think that the state prison wife who acted according to the circumstances would offend her aunt, whom the magistrate respected as his own mother. Although the state prison's responsibility was to monitor these local state officials on behalf of the emperor, after all, she did not have any

In terms of real power, the two can check and balance each other, or they can work together, depending on how well they get along.

Hu Mei, who is neither relative nor master, lives peacefully in the main courtyard, while Wang Zhaodi, the wife of the Wang family who is really in charge, lives in a corner, looking like a concubine who is not favored.

Sure enough, strange people do strange things.

What happened yesterday was really numerous and chaotic, but this did not delay Mrs. Jiang from using her husband-in-law's huge network of contacts and energy to investigate the head of the Wang family shipping company.

You won’t know if you don’t check, and it’s very confusing if you check.

So today she came to repay Wang Zhaodi by exchanging some information to repay yesterday's life-saving grace. Even if Wang Zhaodi knew something, Mrs. Jiang would not mind helping this businessman whom she had never liked.

Along the way, there are flowers everywhere in this courtyard, but it is also clean and refreshing. Although the furnishings and green plants are somewhat nondescript, it is far from the stereotype of the vulgar merchants in my mind.

Jiang Linxue's impression of Wang Zhaodi became better again.

Mrs. Jiang came for a formal visit with a greeting card and a heavy gift.

She has always been like this, telling people everything she wants, and what she has always hated the most is those who are plotting behind the scenes.

However, when the invitation was sent to the outer courtyard, it was Wang Zhaodi's husband Jing Heng who came to greet him with two girls. The implicit intention behind his words was that he wanted Jiang Linxue to be a guest in the outer courtyard directly. He had already sent someone to invite Yuan Wenjing and his wife.

It’s really hilarious.

This is called the behavior of merchants who cannot get on the stage.

Jiang Linxue's greeting card clearly stated that he was visiting Wang Zhaodi.

I heard that Jing Heng is also a scholar. It is already rude for a male host to receive a female guest. What is even more ridiculous is that he allows the dignified prince and his wife to entertain the guests who come to visit the Wang family on the property of the Wang family.

It's simply baffling.

"I heard that you were once a scholar. Do you know what is the meaning of 'a gentleman will not flatter his superiors and will not commit blasphemy'?"

Originally, he was overwhelmed with excitement because a nobleman from the capital actually took the initiative to visit. However, Mrs. Jiang's words made Jing Heng sweat-soaked in surprise. It was like a slap in the face.

Although this sentence is not very appropriate to use here, Mrs. Jiang's meaning is understood by both parties.

It's just that he didn't warn him directly: don't fawn over people who shouldn't be fawned over, and don't belittle people who shouldn't be disrespected.

So Jing Heng had no choice but to send someone to invite Wang Zhaodi.

But he looked ashamed and went to find his great eldest son to discuss what to do.

How did Wang Zhaodi end up fawning over Mrs. Jiang, who was so ambitious? Didn't she always hate businessmen the most? It was because Jing Heng heard Hu Mei say something about Jiang Linxue that he didn't dare to let Wang Zhaodi greet her.

, but chose to let his son and daughter-in-law come over. After all, the son is a high-ranking official of the fourth rank, and the daughter-in-law comes from a noble family in the capital. I think she can have more topics to talk with this lady.

Because of Mrs. Jiang's gag order, Jing Heng, who was excluded from the circle of powerful people, did not know what happened in Zhulu Village yesterday, so his good intentions ended up being wrong.

Here, He Xiaoman ordered bamboo leaves to serve tea and snacks to entertain Mrs. Jiang and young master Lin Zuiran.

The fifteen-year-old boy was full of heroic dreams, so he admired Wang Zhaodi's righteous deed yesterday and her superb skills.

"Madam, can you teach me kung fu?"

The result of the uneasy routine was that he was kicked by his own mother and almost staggered.

"This child has been spoiled by me." Jiang Linxue calmly sat down and said, "Don't be offended, Sister Zhaodi, if it weren't for dealing with all the bad things he caused, he would have dragged me to become a disciple yesterday.

"

"Well, there aren't any capable people or strangers in the capital. I'm just a rough and tumble street."

"They..." As soon as the boy opened his mouth, he was attacked by his mother's legs under her skirt, so he had to shut up.

"I really came here today to thank you for saving your life. I heard about the Huashui Pavilion and found out clearly." Jiang Linxue's already fair and jade face was stained with a bit of chill: "That Hu in your family is not your wife's

Madam, you are quite courageous, and you even included me in your plan."

Outside the door, Wang Chuanzong came to say hello. He Xiaoman smiled and introduced to Mrs. Jiang that this was her unsatisfactory son. Mrs. Jiang looked surprised and called out to come in. Wang Chuanzong then saluted and walked into the small side hall.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the handsome young man who kept praising his good looks, but Lin Zuiran looked disappointed. He thought he was a young hero as heroic as Mrs. Wang, but turned out to be...a weak and weak scholar.

Mrs. Jiang ordered people to present the gifts one by one. It was obvious that she had done her homework before, because what she gave to Wang Chuanzong was a set of four precious treasures of the study.

"My son is restless, so why not let them go for a walk in the garden, and we sisters can have tea and be lazy for a while."

He Xiaoman nodded in agreement. Although Lin Zuiran didn't want to be with this sickly young man, he couldn't stand the look and murderous look in his mother's eyes, so he had to follow him out sadly.

"Young people don't tell secrets. In fact, I came here to give my sister a warning." When the maids and ladies had all retreated, and there were only two people left in the small side hall, Jiang Linxue finally revealed the purpose of his trip.

He Xiaoman didn't expect that this graceful and delicate-looking young lady could actually be a refreshing person.

After listening to Jiang Linxue's words, He Xiaoman's face showed no expression of surprise. Jiang Linxue suddenly understood: "You...all know?"

"If we didn't even have this vigilance, the Wang family shipping company would have been ripped apart by those overt and dark forces." He Xiaoman chuckled: "What's the difference between a businessman's emphasis on profits and the struggle for power in the officialdom? They are all trying their best to gain power for themselves.

We are just trying to survive and strive for greater voice and space.”

Jiang Linxue heard what she said and understood what Wang Zhaodi was referring to. Her old face suddenly turned red, and Ai Ai talked about the old events of her mother's family.
