She frowned, maybe something was wrong.

Just as he was about to ask Shitou to pour him a glass of water, he saw Shitou's face dark and looking somewhere.

Looking along his line of sight, hey, aren't those Xiang and Zhu Youcai?

Is he back from the capital?
The two of them are so thick-skinned, why are they still coming to have a meal after such a quarrel?

Seeing how intimate he was with Xiang, the matter of being in jail should not have affected her.

How can it be?

When Zhu Youcai came back from the capital, he first arrived at his home in Qingshi Town. The children almost ate him.

"Dad, please divorce Mr. Xiang as soon as possible,"

"What's wrong?"

"She was taken away by people from the Yamen and spent three days in jail. She ruined our family's reputation."

Zhu Youcai was stunned, raised his eyebrows, and said after a moment of silence:

"We can't take a break for the time being, she is still useful."

"What's the use? If you don't do anything, you just wander around every day."

"You don't understand. The banker has a good relationship with the county magistrate. Maybe Xiang was caught because of the banker's intention. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but it's not like he committed a crime."

"If not, her reputation has become so bad that she doesn't dare to go out now. People in the village scold her."

"As time goes by, this matter will be looked down upon, so that's okay."

"father?"

"Okay, I have my own arrangements, just live your life well."

Zhu Youcai's eyes flashed, he touched the purse around his waist, took a rest, and returned to Shanshui Village.

It happened to be the night before Zhuang Dashan got married. When he got home, Mrs. Xiang was lying in the house.

When I saw him coming back, I was not surprised, I just said lightly.

"came back?"

Zhu Youcai had a smile on his face: "Why are you so lethargic?"

Xiang gave him a sideways glance: "I don't believe you don't know."

"What's the point? You didn't commit a crime. It was the dealer's sincerity. I don't mind."

"But I don't mind. Everyone in the village is turning towards the banker. I scold anyone who sees him, and he doesn't even dare to go out."

"It's okay. It will get better with time. Don't be angry. Come and look at the good things I bought you from the capital."

Zhu Youcai put a bundle on the kang and opened it, Xiang's eyes lit up.

"Ah, this satin is so beautiful."

"This is called Xiangyun gauze. It's light, thin and cool to wear in summer. You quickly make yourself one and put it on. I'll take you out for a walk. I'll fight with anyone who dares to scold you."

Xiang's eyes turned red after hearing this: "It's better that you treat me well, they, they are all bad people."

Zhu Youcai snorted in his heart. If you have breasts, you are a mother. If you say a few nice words, you are a good person. It's so easy to lie.

He brought the Kang table up, made a pot of tea, and poured it for Xiang and himself.

"In a few days, I will collect another batch of goods and go to the capital."

"How much did you earn this time?"

"One thousand taels."

"so much?"

"There are many rich people in the capital. As long as the food is delicious, it doesn't matter how much money you have."

Mrs. Xiang was happy but then wilted: "I'm afraid this business will be difficult to do in the future."

"What's wrong?"

"The dealer has increased the price again. Let the seller decide how much to sell. Many people know about you and have followed your example and started selling goods to the capital or other cities."

Zhu Youcai smiled: "The capital is too big, and the dealer's small amount of goods is simply not enough to sell."

"Qiao said that the dealer has bought another land and plans to expand the workshop. There will be more goods in the future."

"That's okay. Our Eastern Zhou Dynasty has a vast territory and rich resources. Everyone makes money based on their own abilities. I, Zhu Youcai, have never been afraid of anyone in my business."

The two had dinner and were cozy for a while. After Xiang fell asleep, Zhu Youcai went out and asked the two girls.

Apart from going to jail, Xiang still has his duty.

He touched the purse at his waist again, finally put his hand down and sighed softly.

If you wait a little longer to catch big fish, Xiang will have to keep it as bait.

The next day, the day Zhuang Dashan got married, the village was very lively, attracting Zhu Youcai.

After asking around, I found out that Xiang's ex-husband was getting married.A weird smile appeared on his face, and he dragged Xiang towards the village.

When Mrs. Qiao saw them, she immediately came over to say hello, and she took Mrs. Xiang's hand.

"Just come out, don't stay bored at home every day."

Zhu Youcai glanced at Yu Dan, the disgust in his eyes not concealed at all.

Yu Dan is well-informed and never cares what others think of him, as long as he is happy.

He was leaning against the wall with a piece of grass in his mouth, looking at the melon and fruit snacks on the table and his mouth was watering. Zhu Youcai despised him.

The breakfast was too poor. Mr. Qiao only had porridge and not even a steamed bun.

As soon as he asked for good food, Mrs. Qiao cried out that she was poor and asked him for money. He had just been released, so where could he find it?

It happened that the banker was hosting a banquet for the whole village at noon, and they wanted to have a good meal. His eyes were all on that, and he didn't look at Xiang and Zhu Youcai at all.

Seeing this scene, Mrs. Xiang felt very unhappy. Without comparison, there would be no harm. With Zhu Youcai by her side, she did not dare to show too much, but her unhappiness could be seen on her face.

"If you have money, I don't want to come. I want to go back."

"What's the point? We're just having a meal. If you didn't come, they'd think you were always worried."

"Bah, I didn't think about him, I just felt unfair."

Zhu Youcai raised the corners of his lips: "You guys chat, I'll go say hello to Mr. Qin."

Shitou looked back and said, "You are so thick-skinned!"

"Is it him or your mother?"

"All."

"It's not that a family doesn't enter a house."

While talking, Zhu Youcai came closer and hugged Qin Yue:

"Zhu is not at home during this period. I'm sorry for causing trouble to you."

"We just did what we had to do."

Shitou had a cold face and backed away without any courtesy at all.

"Anyway, what she did was wrong. As a husband, I should apologize for her."

"I'm done apologizing, let's go."

Zhu Youcai was a little embarrassed and unwilling, so he turned around and walked back.

At this time, Mrs. Qiao had already pulled Mrs. Xiang and sat at a table, grabbing the melon seeds on it and cracking them.

The villagers quit immediately when they saw it, and their children were not allowed to come near them. They had to wait until the newcomers arrived. It would be better for these two people to just sit there and eat.

So they gathered around and glared at them without saying anything.

He was very ready to take action if he didn't leave.

The two of them quickly stood up, reached out and grabbed a handful of melon seeds, walked to the side and stood talking.

When Zhu Youcai saw this scene, he stopped and stood aside. Even if he was alone, he was unwilling to go there and embarrass himself.

No matter what friends Xiang made, this woman had no education at all.

Yu Dan came to him at some point: "Brother Zhu, I advise you not to provoke that woman Qin Yue in the future."

Zhu Youcai rolled his eyes: "Why?"

"Not only does that woman have the protection of an expert behind her, Magistrate Ji is also her backer. Not to mention Qingshi Town, she is the boss in Weiyuan County and Jeju Prefecture."

"Just the county magistrate."

Yu Dan snorted, "How do you still look down on the county magistrate?"Then try changing it:
"It seems that you are only focused on doing business and don't know anything about the outside world."

"what's up?"

"Magistrate Ji's true identity is the young owner of Minsheng Pharmacy."

"Sigh~"

"He is still a third-rank official in the imperial court. He holds the sword given by the emperor. He cuts first and then kills. Not long ago, the prefect of Jeju was stuck by him."

Zhu Youcai's face turned red and white for a while, and his expression was so rich.

According to what he said, this surname is really useful, but the banker refuses to recognize her. What should I do?
"It's true that she is Shitou's mother, but what if he doesn't recognize her?"

"How could he not admit it? As long as he ends up and pursues an official career, he has to admit it. Otherwise, his reputation will be ruined and the court will not let him be an official."

Zhu Youcai's eyes lit up, yes, how could he forget this?

I really underestimated Yu Dan, this kid can do something about it.

Stone, stone, we have to start with him.
