Aunt Fang never expected that after half her life of shrewd calculations, the daughter she gave birth to would not learn any of her tricks.
"If word spreads about your credit account, how can you gain a foothold among the noble ladies of Qiongzhou!"
Jiang Wen was originally a concubine, and Mrs. Chen was waiting to grab her by the pigtails. Now she was stupid enough to hand it over in person. Aunt Fang even wanted to pry open her daughter's brain to see if it was mushy inside.
Jiang Wen was pointed at her nose and scolded by Aunt Fang, and she panicked.
She knew what she did was wrong, but given the situation at that time, she had no other good solution. As long as she could get close to Shen Yanqing, it would not matter if she lost a little reputation.
"I'm just a shopkeeper. She doesn't dare to leak my privacy. Don't worry, mother."
"I think you have underestimated Princess Rongning. If something happens, we, mother and daughter, will be ruined..."
They have been planning for so long, and they can live a good life in sight, so they can't let this happen.
"I'll have the bracelet redeemed and give some money to seal the shopkeeper's mouth. I hope this matter can be settled and nothing will go wrong."
Aunt Fang muttered and left Jiang Wen's room. She always felt flustered now. If she didn't resolve the matter herself, she would not be able to let go of the big stone in her heart.
Jiang Wen was not as calm as she appeared, but now that the matter was over, all she could do was to quickly win Shen Yanqing's favor.
Thinking of this, she opened all the boxes on the table, and more than a dozen crystal clear fragrant beads appeared in front of her eyes.
Even though Jiang Wen didn't like Jiang Miao in her heart, she couldn't help but admire such exquisite fragrant beads and smell its fresh and pleasant fragrance.
"These incense beads are much better than the incense sold at Jade House!"
Feicuilou is an old brand in Qiongzhou. It usually sells incense and powder for women. Qiongzhou is no different from other places. It is economically poor and even some incense is out of date.
Jiang Wen usually doesn't have much money, so she rarely buys outdated incense. Unlike Jiang Xuan, the new products in the shop are delivered to her first every month, and she can't use up any more.
Thinking of this, she felt extremely jealous.
She craves power and money so much.
Therefore, if there is an opportunity to climb up, Jiang Wen will seize it by any means possible.

In Ling County under Qiongzhou, Cui Qi received a letter from a friend.
"Shen Shoufu has arrived in Qiongzhou, and he has also improved the officialdom of Qiongzhou. Now Princess Rongning is leading the people of Qiongzhou to build roads and factories. In just one month, the life of Qiongzhou City has undergone earth-shaking changes."
He looked at the contents of the letter with excitement and eyes burning.
When he launched a riot and brought down Gu Danian, the emperor not only did not punish him, but also made him the magistrate of Ling County. Cui Qi was grateful to the emperor and Shen Yanqing.
If it weren't for the fact that Qiongzhou is far away from the capital and he is just a small county magistrate, unable to enter the capital at will, Cui Qi would have wanted to thank his benefactor in person.
Cui Qi's wife Yan stood next to him, picked up the teapot and gave him some tea.
Yan was married to Cui Qi after he became the county magistrate. Yan's father was a scholar who saved Cui Qi's life when he launched a riot, and later became Cui Qi's accountant.
Yan's appearance is Xiaojiabiyu, not stunning but very attractive, and she has a good temper and can express her own opinions on important court affairs. Cui Qi respects this wife very much.
"Ling County is only a hundred miles away from Qiongzhou City. Shen Chieffu has taken office. As a subordinate, you should pay a visit."
Mrs. Yan was aware of her husband's admiration for Shen Yanqing. He was able to rise from a humble family official to the chief minister at such a young age. Such a genius was rare in the world.
"That's right! I deserve to visit!"
Yan's words hit Cui Qi right in the heart. He put down the letter, clasped his hands in surprise.
"I heard that Qiongzhou City has built a spacious and flat cement road. Let's go and have a look. We will go to the city to buy you some clothes and jewelry!"
"I don't lack these, why should my husband spend money..."
When Mrs. Yan heard her husband's words, her heart was sweeter than eating honey, but she was used to being thrifty. Although Cui Qi was the magistrate of Ling County, his salary was not much. He was an upright official and would never prey on the common people. So the two of them could only live with their belts tight.
"You wore this hairpin when you got married. I haven't bought you any jewelry for two or three years. This time I must buy two hairpins for you to wear."
Cui Qi held his wife's hand, his eyes full of tenderness.
Yan is diligent and thrifty in managing his family, and he has a spiritual resonance with him.
If you have such a wife, what more can a husband ask for?

Jiang Chuan felt that Shen Yanqing's attitude towards him was getting colder and colder in the past two days. Many things should have been left to him, but Shen Yanqing left them to Liang Duo.
This made Jiang Chuan panic, and he always felt that his official position was not guaranteed.
Now due to the construction of roads and factories, Shen Yanqing and Jiang Miao have high prestige in Qiongzhou, which makes Jiang Chuan even more incompetent. Not only the people, but also his colleagues and subordinates look at him with contempt.
Jiang Chuan's power was emptied out and he could not be reused. He pondered for a few days and felt that he could no longer sit back and wait for death.
Chiang Mansion.
The mother-in-law next to Chen just sent Gao Matchmaker out. These days, Chen has been looking for someone to marry Jiang Wen off as soon as possible to avoid being a disaster if she stays at home. This time she finally found a suitable family.
When the mother-in-law returned from seeing off the matchmaker, Mrs. Chen raised her eyelids and said.
"Sent away?"
"Yes, Matchmaker Gao said that if you are not satisfied with this Mr. Liu, she will find someone else."
Liu Langjun was one of Jiang Chuan's subordinates, and his family only had an old mother. Although he was an official, his family had no other support.
Moreover, he is only a seventh-rank official, which is really not worth mentioning in Qiongzhou City.
However, as a concubine, Jiang Wen still wants to marry into a wealthy family. The Liu family is her destination.
"This is very good. Liu Yuanfeng's ability is mediocre and it is difficult for him to get promoted. He will definitely not let Jiang Wen overshadow Xuan'er in the future. You give Jiang Wen's horoscope to the matchmaker so that they can match their horoscopes as soon as possible so that they can settle down as soon as possible. Save yourself a long night and many dreams.”
Mrs. Chen always feels uneasy these days. Although Jiang Chuan rarely comes to her room, he respects her very much. But these days, she can clearly feel that Jiang Chuan's attitude is impatient. When he went to Aunt Fang's place It's also too frequent.
Mrs. Chen was worried that Jiang Chuan would be deceived by that bitch Aunt Fang, so by handing over Jiang Wen's marriage affairs, she would have no way to control the two of them.
In Xiyuan, Aunt Fang wore a bright dress, revealing a large area of white greasy on her chest.
Her skin is naturally fair, and she takes good care of herself. She is obviously the mother of a child, and her body is as delicate and soft as a little girl.
