The person who came out was none other than Jiang Shuyue.

After she left the house, she walked quickly towards Yinma Street. After entering Beijing from Xiao Jingzhao, a curfew was temporarily imposed at night.

She had just walked not far when she saw a group of patrolling guards approaching. She quickly dodged and hid in the space.

When the footsteps outside faded away, she appeared again.

Nangong Zeyue's closed gambling shop is on Yinma Street. The shop has been packed up. She has to rush over and empty out the items in the space so that it can open tomorrow.

She met several groups of patrolling guards along the way, but she avoided them all in time.

In less than two-quarters of an hour, she arrived at the grain store. The plaque on the store had not yet been finished.

After opening the door and entering the shop, Jiang Shuyue closed the door behind her back. With a thought, a lamp appeared in her hand.

The bright light shone on her jade-like and delicate face, making her look as graceful as a startled dragon.

The early autumn night was not too cold, and she was traveling in a hurry, so a slight blush appeared on her cheeks.

Putting down the candlestick, she took off her black cloak and placed it on the counter.

She paused briefly, glanced over, and with a wave of her sleeves, the large square wooden barrel in front of her was filled with corn.

After a while, corn, sweet potatoes and potatoes were piled up in the shop.

She walked to the warehouse at the back, followed the same pattern, and filled several warehouses full.

Seeing that there were still a few empty barrels in the house, she thought that people outside the city would also come to the city to buy seeds, so she poured some seeds out of the space.

After doing all this, I entered the space and saw that only a small part of the things that had been emptied out were only a small part. The number of seeds in the space was soon the same as before, as if it had never been moved.

Jiang Shuyue estimated that the items here would be enough to sell for two days. She found pen, ink, paper and inkstone on the counter and wrote down the lowest price in the market that she knew.

Especially the price of seeds, she set very low.

Now the people are in a difficult time, so she takes two cents as a token fee. As long as next spring passes, the people will soon live a life of good harvest and good times.

After finishing all this, he put on his cloak, put out the candle and went into the room. When he opened the door, he heard the sound of the watchman approaching from far away.

Jiang Shuyue quickly locked the door and walked quickly back to the street.

After a moment, the figure of the watchman was far behind her.

Fortunately, she had the habit of getting up early to exercise. If she still had the delicate body of her original body, she would be tossing back and forth like this before dawn.

After walking two streets and avoiding two groups of patrolling guards, Jiang Shuyue simply turned into an alley and walked back. She was already very familiar with this road she took the last time she went to Du Mansion.

On both sides of the alley, there are occasional homes with candles on.

The moon was sparse, and Jiang Shuyue's steps were as fast as flying, completely different from her delicate and frail appearance in the daytime.

After returning to the house, she went into the space to wash her feet, put on comfortable pajamas, and lay on the bed to plan the village she had just bought.

I heard from Gao Mu that Zhuangzi was very big, and the officials in the capital were eager to sell it, and the price was very good.

Jiang Shuyue made up her mind to wait until Xiao Jingzhao's enthronement ceremony was over before leaving the city to have a look.

Although she and Suisui will not enter the palace to participate in the ceremony, she has other things to be busy with.

In the second room of the Wei family, the sound of quarreling broke the tranquility of the night.

"Wei Shichang, let's make peace. I've endured you for a long time! It's not enough for your mother to give you a few concubines. She goes to restaurants and brothels all day long. Do you take my wife seriously? ?" the woman asked, raising her voice.

It can be heard that there is no jealousy in the tone, nor is it hysterical.

"Wen Ru, let's get down to business. Why are you bringing up the marriage? As long as you are willing to step forward and let your brother get us over this hurdle, I promise you that I will send all the concubines my mother gave me to the village outside the city." The man's voice came from the room, and his pleading tone did not dissuade Du Wenru.

In the bedroom, Du Wenru was sitting beside the bed with a coat draped over his shoulders.

With black hair pouring down from her head, Du Wenru, who is in her thirties, has never given birth to a child and looks no more than thirty.

Her eyebrows are like distant mountains, her eyes are like autumn water, her figure is graceful, her temperament is like a magnolia flower, and she has a noble and arrogant air.

Under the bright light, the plain white pajamas made her skin look like snow. She lived like a widow in her prime. Du Wenru had long thought of leaving the Wei family.

In the past, the Du family was still a little afraid of the Wei family, but now Du Wenru no longer looks at the Wei family's faces.

"Your Wei family is so powerful, and my brother has to look at the Prime Minister's face to act. Don't ask me to beg the Du family. We, the Du family, can't afford such a high hat."

Du Wenru disagreed, with a hint of sarcasm on his lips.

"Wenru, please stop being so angry. I will accompany you back as my husband. This is a rare time for me to beg you. Let's not refute his face." Wei Shichang said and was about to take Du Wenru's hand.

Du Wenru put her hands behind her back and said disgustedly: "Stay away from me. I won't make this trip today no matter what."

"Mr. Du! Don't push yourself too hard. I don't dislike you for not being able to have a child. If the Wei family has such a trivial matter, if I ask you to help me once, you will take Qiao."

Wei Shichang finally lost his patience and showed his true colors. He took back his hand and yelled at Du Wenru.

"What do you, a woman, know? When you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, and when you marry a dog, follow the dog. Didn't your mother teach you?"

Du Wenru looked at the dog-looking man in front of him with cold eyes and flew into a rage. He was furious and said, "This time, Du Wenru, I won't follow you like a dog. What's wrong? If you can, give me a letter of divorce."

"You...you have changed, Wenru. Why are you no longer virtuous? You have even learned to curse."

Seeing that Du Wenru refused to respond, Wei Shichang felt powerless.

Tonight was crucial. If Du Wenru didn't help the Wei family, he would be scolded by his elder brother and mother.

Du Wenru lost her patience and felt annoyed when she saw Wei Shichang. She pointed to the door and said, "Get out. There's no room for negotiation. Even if you bring your sick mother to beg me, it's useless. I won't bother my brother for anyone."

In the past, Du Wenru would never say such blunt and cruel words.

After getting married, she had no children, and the old lady even placed the child born by her aunt under her name.

She had endured the humiliation of the Wei family for so many years.

"Du Wenru, don't regret it. When my Wei family gets over this hurdle, I will promote Bao'er's mother to a concubine, and Bao'er won't have to be raised under your name."

"Whatever, do you think I, Du Wenru, care about a son born by a concubine? Not to mention a concubine, I'm willing to give up the position of the main wife!"

"It's unreasonable! You will regret it." Wei Shichang was so angry that he blew his beard and glared, and left the bedroom with a flick of his sleeves.

After leaving the bedroom, Wei Shichang walked to the courtyard of the main house.

The courtyards of the three rooms of the Wei family are not far apart, and only the old house where the clan members live is a quarter of an hour away.

In the study.

"What? My sister-in-law won't go! Doesn't she understand the principle of prosperity and loss together?" Prime Minister Wei was furious and slapped the desk.

Wei Shichang shrank his neck in fear and said timidly: "Brother, you should think of another way. Du Shi has no children, and my second brother thinks her heart is not in the Wei family."
