Chapter 178 Zhao Keke's Marriage
It seems that she can only think of ways to collect the money, let her mother come out, and return to the position of the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion. By then, the truth of the matter can be fabricated at will.
Only in this way, only in this way can Mo Liang become a young master again. Mother will win over father and let him assist the fifth prince wholeheartedly. By then, she will be the most precious woman in the dynasty. Wen Jiu will still let him control her. Thinking of this, a hideous smile appeared on her face.
Wen Jiu chuckled, "I wonder what the Fifth Princess has thought about it?"
"Sister is getting married soon. I will collect the money for her in the next few days and convert it into banknotes. It will be given to her as a dowry and can be used as a backup in the future." Wen Ziqi immediately smiled and greeted her.
"Okay, let's do it tomorrow, because I can't go out these days. The Ministry of Rites will come to measure the size and make revisions soon. It will be very busy." Wen Jiu lowered his head and touched his sleeves.
"...Okay, sister, go and rest first, I will bring the banknotes to you tomorrow."
"Um"
After Wen Xi and Wen Jiu left, they didn't care about the father and daughter's discussion about raising money.
"Jiu'er, why did you agree to her?" Wen Xi asked puzzledly.
"What did I promise her?" He laughed mischievously.
"Being mischievous suits you." Wen Xi immediately understood and gathered her cloak.
"By the way, my cousin told me that they received the things you sent, but they just didn't have time to tell you. I like them very much, too. Thank you, sister." Wen Xi looked at the girl in the sun. The sun cast a layer of light on her, which was very sacred and beautiful. His sister
"Do you like them all? It's worth my time to carefully select them. No need to thank me. Why don't you ask Xiaoyao Tower to send some food over today? I'm a little hungry." Wen Jiu happily
"It's hard to say. Wait, I'll go right away. You can take a break." Wen Xi handed the wine to Xuan Ling and ran out without even entering the courtyard.
"Has spring been here for so long? It's the perfect time for everything to come back to life." Wen Jiu touched the sharp corners of the branches, a little lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about, young lady?"
"What are you thinking about? You must be missing home."
“But, this is already our home.”
"Yes, this is our home now." Not knowing if he could go back, he suddenly slapped his forehead, making a loud noise that scared Xuan Ling.
"What are you doing miss?"
"It's okay, I just remembered that I have something to do and I can't be depressed any longer."
Yes, now that she is here, she should make the best of it. While she is still here, she should protect her relatives and investigate all matters related to the old man. No one should be let off. This was the oath she made in front of the old man's grave.
"Miss, the owner of the manor has a letter," Xuanxing whispered in her ear
She just happened to be looking for him.
She took it, glanced at it with her beautiful eyes, and burned the paper.
Xuan Ling, Xuan Xing: Is this a good news? The lady is obviously happy!
"Send a message back and ask him to come see me when he is free these two days."
"Yes" Xuanxing walked out
Wen Jiu sat at the desk, looking at the account book. The Prime Minister's Mansion was in her hands. She had been away for so long, but the mansion was not in a mess. It must be Wen Xi who helped. She was shocked when she saw it. This brother's account book was simple and clear. Every expenditure was clearly marked.
I looked at it for a long time without realizing it, and the corners of my mouth gradually rose.
Wen Xi was followed by Chang Qing and the waiter, all of whom were holding food baskets. Seeing that she was enjoying the meal, they did not bother her. Wen Xi asked them to go down and put the food baskets on the table. She did not look up until the fragrance filled Wen Xi's nose.
I originally thought it was Xuan Ling and Xuan Xing, but unexpectedly it was Wen Xi who came back with a food basket. The look of surprise in her eyes made Wen Xi ask softly, "Miss, please have dinner?"
"Wow, brother, what kind of food is this? It smells so good."
"Those must be our favorites. Come and have a look. There are also very rare fruits. Many people have been lining up to buy them recently. Come and try them."
Wen Jiu looked at every dish that Wen Xi opened: lion's head, stir-fried beef, assorted seasonal vegetables, pine duck, and glazed milk crispy meat pie...
"Just the two of us..."
"It's okay, eat. Keke will be here soon. I just met her at the restaurant. She said she would be here soon." Wen Xi said with a smile
"That's what I said. Two people is a bit too much. There are more than a dozen dishes."
As soon as I finished talking about the wine, I heard someone outside shouting, "Wine, wine, wine!"
Wen Jiu quickly stood up and went to greet her. He saw that her face was full of smiles, but when he looked behind her, her face was a little shocked.
"This……"
"Xuan Ling, hurry up, have someone take it to the warehouse, and give Jiujiu a good meal to nourish his body."
He turned around and looked at the wine again, left and right, front and back, "Is it serious?"
"..."
"I heard about it, it scared me to death," then he scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "These are all for your body. You didn't tell me even when you were spitting blood, it scared me to death."
The worry in her eyes didn't seem fake, but she knew her own abilities, so why was she still so worried?
"I'm fine, don't worry, come and eat together." Wen Jiu took Zhao Keke's hand and walked into the house
"It's delicious. I like this one and that one too." Zhao Keke's mouth was full.
Xiao Tao'er's eyes almost popped out of her head, and she silently said to herself, "Miss, this is so embarrassing. After all, you are the daughter of the richest man."
"How many days have you not eaten?" Wen Xi was a little surprised by her. This girl has an amazing appetite.
"Brother Wen Xi, help me pick up a duck leg."
"Oh"
"Brother Wen Xi, please help me make a lion head."
"it is good"
"Brother Wen Xi..."
Every time Wen Xi picked up some for her, he would also pick up some for the warm wine. The warm wine bowl was piled up like a mountain. They looked at each other and shook their heads helplessly.
"Why don't you eat? Eat quickly. It won't taste good if it gets cold." Zhao Keke took a moment to talk to them, and then continued to work hard.
Xiao Taoer said apologetically, "County Lady, please forgive me, my daughter was just released." She then laughed awkwardly.
"Let him out?" Wen Jiu was surprised.
"The master and the young master are back, Miss..." Xiao Taoer did not dare to talk about her master.
Zhao Keke finally stopped what she was doing, put down her chopsticks, wiped her mouth and said, "As soon as I came back, they asked me to get engaged. I didn't agree, so I was locked up and didn't eat."
"You haven't eaten since we separated?" Wen Jiu looked at Zhao Keke.
"Well, let's not talk about it. Jiujiu, do you have any solution? I don't want to marry that man." Zhao Keke pulled her sleeve, feeling very aggrieved.
"I wonder who Mr. Zhao has promised you to marry."
"Chu Yinan"
"Why is it him?" Wen Jiu was puzzled. Was it really Chu Tunan who did it? What was she after?
Suddenly she realized that Zhao Keke and his family were the richest people in Beijing, and there was nothing they couldn't do with money.
"I don't know either. Who knows if it's the father she's looking for? After all, she's done me a favor." Wen Jiu knew who the "she" Zhao Keke was talking about was.
"But she and her brother have always been at odds, why did she drag me into this? I don't like him." Zhao Keke looked determined, as if she had made a decision.
Wen Jiu saw this and quickly interrupted her wild thoughts, "Has Mr. Chu seen your face?"
"no"
"Did Mr. Zhao say anything about the engagement and the exchange of engagement letters?"
"nor"
"Then why are you in such a hurry? Maybe your father is just asking for your opinion? We just need to find out the truth slowly. Don't do anything stupid."
"and me"
Zhao Keke looked at her, tears about to flow out, Wen Xi watched all this coldly, what Wen Jiu could think of, he could definitely think of, the richest man would not marry casually, her status was not to mention the prince, even the princes and nobles would marry...
