Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

Jiang Anran was a concubine and lived in the same courtyard as Min, while He Yan's mother, Zhou, lived in the other courtyard.

The two courtyards are very close to each other, with only a wall in the middle. It is easy to bump into them when walking around in private on weekdays.

When Jiang Heyan was not yet married to Prince Zhuang's Mansion, she often came here to cause trouble for Jiang Anran.

However, the relationship between the two has now eased.

"Your Highness, please wait a moment. I'll go in and call the young lady out." The maid stopped and bowed.

Gu Chen nodded, "Okay."

Gu Chen will still abide by the etiquette that should be observed.

Jiang Anran is still a young lady. If she breaks into her boudoir, she will ruin her reputation.

If more rumors spread, it will be difficult for the other party to find a suitable partner in the future.

"Haha, this is not His Highness Prince Zhuang, why are you here in our small courtyard?!"

Just as the maid left, the rather charming Min happened to pass by.

When he saw Gu Chen standing outside the door, he came over with a look of surprise on his face, a smile on his face, and he was extremely happy.

Gu Chen glanced at the other party and whispered: "I came to An Ran to talk about something."

He didn't have much contact with the Min family.

However, based on the understanding of the original plot, this Min is the kind of woman who is very good at seizing opportunities and using her own advantages to climb up.

I won't say how bad she is, but she is definitely not a good person.

"It's true that this girl of mine is here. Your Highness, you are here, but this girl is still so ignorant of etiquette."

Hearing that Gu Chen came here to see her daughter, Mrs. Min was extremely happy, but she had a look of blame on her face.

Then, she said again: "Your Highness, please wait here for a moment, I will go in and carry that girl out."

After saying that, he entered the room directly under Gu Chen's gaze.

inside the room.

At the reminder of the maid, Jiang Anran lazily got up from the bed and slapped Haqie with a sleepy look on his face, as if he had not woken up at all.

"Why does this black-hearted prince come here so early in the morning and disturb people's dreams! I haven't even woken up yet?!"

Jiang Anran rubbed his sleepy eyes, touched his messy long hair, took the clothes from the maid's hand and put them on himself.

Although she hasn't washed up yet, her stunning beauty is still difficult to hide.

"Miss, let's get up quickly. Don't let His Highness Prince Zhuang wait outside the door for too long." Maid Xiao Yu quickly reminded.

"Why are you panicking? This black-hearted prince came here to either ask me for questions or to ask for my help. You should let him go for a while." Jiang Anran said calmly, without any worry at all.

"Miss, isn't this bad?!" Xiaoyu said.

The lady really dares to do it.

If ordinary people knew that Prince Zhuang was waiting outside the house, they would immediately pack up and go out to greet him.

But the young lady was not only not in a hurry, but also put on airs.

She was not afraid that His Highness Prince Zhuang would be unhappy and went directly to the Duke to read a copy of her book.

"It's okay. I know the temper of this black-hearted prince and won't care about such a trivial matter with me." Jiang Anran didn't care.

"Girl! Why haven't you gotten up yet? His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang is waiting outside. You should pack up quickly and go out, but don't keep me waiting for too long."

Just as Jiang Anran and the two were chatting, Min hurriedly walked in. Seeing Jiang Anran who was still getting dressed on the bed, he immediately urged her.

Jiang Heyan was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Mrs. Min, "Mom, why are you here?!"

"Is it okay if mother doesn't come? It's true, you girl, why are you so ignorant? Prince Zhuang is a prince, and he is the son of a noble concubine. He will have the opportunity to be the emperor in the future. Now that he can come here to see you, you can Can't you have some snacks?! Jiang Heyan was lucky enough to get the Duke's care before marrying into Prince Zhuang's Mansion. However, I see that Prince Zhuang has spoken kind words for you over and over again, and he is obviously interested in you. If possible, you can let Prince Zhuang marry you. You are an equal wife and mother, and I agree." Mrs. Min said sincerely.

Prince Zhuang is now the most valued among all the princes, and he will have the opportunity to ascend to the throne in the future.

If An Ran could marry into Prince Zhuang's Mansion, even if she couldn't be a legal wife, she could still be an ordinary wife.

Anyway, this girl Jiang Heyan has not yet given birth to an heir for His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang. She just wants to hold on to An Ran, grab the opponent, overtake in a corner, and give birth to an heir first. There is no chance of catching up.

"Mom, you're doing this again!!" Jiang Anran said helplessly.

Min just likes each one.

First he was the prince, then he set his sights on the twelfth prince Gu Yongyi, and now he even wanted her to marry this black-hearted prince.

Anyway, to her, as long as the person she marries is noble enough, feelings are not important at all.

I don’t know if she really liked her father when she married him, or if she wanted to climb a high tree.

"Mom, this is also planned for you. In what way is that girl He Yan better than you? Let me tell you, you are more suitable for His Highness Prince Zhuang than she is." said Min.

Jiang Anran sighed, "Okay, you are right, I will go out to see Prince Zhuang first."

Seeing Jiang Anran get out of bed, Mrs. Min quickly reminded Xiao Yu, the maid next to her, "Xiao Yu, help the lady dress up first before letting her go out."

About ten minutes.

Jiang Anran finally walked out of the room, and Min followed behind him.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, my family has come out safely. I didn't keep you waiting for a long time!"

Before Jiang Anran could speak, Mrs. Min next to her immediately showed a bright smile and said with an attentive look.

Immediately, she gently tugged on Jiang Anran's clothes and reminded in a low voice: "Anran, salute quickly!"

After being urged by Mrs. Min, Jiang Anran could only bow and salute, and said with some reluctance: "I have met His Highness Prince Zhuang."

Gu Chen glanced at the two of them, smiled lightly, and said, "It's okay."

"Okay, then you can chat slowly and I won't disturb you."

Seeing Jiang Anran calling someone, Min knew that he was not suitable to stay here. After saying hello, he left wisely.

Looking at Mrs. Min walking away, Jiang Anran sighed, raised her eyebrows and looked at Gu Chen, and immediately became more casual, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, you came here so early today, why do you want to see the little girl again?"

"Don't worry, let's change the place to talk first." Gu Chen said.

Jiang Anran's eyes moved and she said with a smile: "Okay, I haven't had breakfast yet. If His Highness Prince Zhuang doesn't mind, come with me to have something to eat."

"Anything is fine."

Soon, Gu Chen accompanied Jiang Anran out of the yard, and then ordered the kitchen to bring some pasta, pastries and other things.

inside the room.

"His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, if you have anything to do, just tell me directly. I'll have something to eat first."

Looking at the noodle soup prepared in front of the table, Jiang Anran picked up the spoon and ate it seriously, completely ignoring Gu Chen next to him.

Gu Chen asked: "How are you preparing for the food? How much food is stored in the warehouse now?"

Jiang Anran put down the spoon, counted the numbers, and after thinking for a while, turned to look at Gu Chen, "The warehouse should have stocked more than 20,000 stones of rice, and more than 8,000 stones of rice."

After saying that, she looked at Gu Chen with some confusion, "Hey, King Gu Zhuang, why are you hoarding so much food?! You don't have any special plans!"

Gu Chen rolled his eyes at her, "Don't make random guesses, I haven't thought that much yet. But the food is still low, so I have to continue to stock up."

More than 20,000 rocks of rice and more than 8,000 rocks of rice are less than 3 million kilograms of grain. There are at least five to six million people in the Huzhou area, and this is not even enough to feed them for two days.

If there is another war with Mobei in the future, they will only need more food.

Jiang Anran looked at Gu Chen with a shocked expression, "This is not enough. Your Highness, Prince Zhuang, doesn't want to store more food than the national treasury!"

Gu Chen explained: "I won't hide it from you. The situation in Dazhou and Mobei has been serious in the past two years. Although we may mobilize troops. There are many corrupt officials in Dazhou, and the national treasury is simply full of surplus food. I must prepare food in advance to guard against this. Not yet."

Jiang Anran was stunned and asked in a daze: "You mean there might be a war between Dazhou and Mobei?!"

"Anyway, try your best to help me get as much food as possible. I will not forget your contribution when the time comes."

Jiang Anran nodded, looking much more serious, "Then I'll be more careful during this time and help you stock up on food."

Gu Chen didn't tell her the specific quantity, so she didn't know how much food the other party needed. She thought that stocking thousands of tons of food would be enough.

Now it seems that it is obviously not enough.

"Okay." Gu Chen said.

There must be a lot of food on the market.

Many officials in the Zhou Dynasty were greedy for grain, and then they would sell the grain to the market.

For one thing, they don’t need so much food.

Secondly, it is to prevent detection.

Converting grain into money is the safest way.

As long as Jiang Anran does not harvest grain in a large area, it will generally not damage grain prices in various regions.
