Chapter 127 G in G
Unexpectedly, Chen still refused: "No, I want to go back, but can Feng'e be left at your house first?"
Yue Niang knew her concerns and Tian Dezhong was capable of doing anything.
Tian Dezhong always wanted to sell Tian Feng'e for gambling money, so she was unwilling to let Tian Feng'e take risks.
Yue Niang agreed: "Don't worry."
It seemed as if Chen had just sent Tian Feng'e there and disappeared into the night.
Tian Feng'e watched her mother leave, then she stood up and walked out: "Mother, I want to go back too."
Yue Niang stopped her and said, "Feng'e, your mother is in trouble. She will be back soon."
Tian Feng'e was a quiet person who always followed Chen timidly. Now she was staring blankly in Chen's direction: "Mother won't come back."
"How could that be? Wancheng, go and secretly protect Feng'e's mother."
Feng'e was still staring at the night in a daze: "Sister, I'm sleepy."
Over there, Xu Tianke and Jiang Yunxiao were toasting each other, both of them were drunk.
Xu Tianke put his hand on Jiang Yunxiao's shoulder: "Yunxiao, let me tell you, I'm almost taking over Yongfu Temple, but I still can't get what I want."
Jiang Yunxiao also said drunkenly: "If he likes you, he should take the initiative to pursue you. Why would he come over if you don't do anything?"
Yue Niang shook her head helplessly and said to the servant at the door, "Please help me get the young master into the carriage. Feng'e, we'll go first."
Tian Feng'e followed Yue Niang obediently.
It was already midnight when they returned to the Duke's Mansion. After taking care of Jiang Yunxiao, Yue Niang called Dong Zhu and said, "Dong Zhu, I miss grandma so much."
Dong Zhu comforted her, "Miss, if the old lady in heaven sees how well you are doing now, she will surely be pleased for you."
Yue Niang took the wine jar she had snatched from Jiang Yunxiao and took a sip. "Dong Zhu, why do they treat human lives like grass? They can kill so many people for their own purposes. My mother and grandmother were both such good people, but I can't be so cruel now."
The sound of Jiang Yunxiao's even breathing gradually filled the entire room. Yue Niang turned her head and glanced at Jiang Yunxiao. He had been very tired recently. The affairs of the Duke's Mansion and Yue Niang's affairs were all weighing on his heart.
Therefore, Yue Niang let him get drunk today, so that he could at least escape from this damn reality for a short time.
My grandmother was the first time I felt the warmth of family love after experiencing two lifetimes, but they deprived me of my happiness so easily.
In the midst of pain and confusion, Yue Niang felt that she seemed to have such ability and could decide people's life and death.
She wanted them to pay, to die.
When this idea came to mind, Yue Niang herself was shocked.
It seemed as if she could never go back. Yue Niang looked up at the sky. There was no moon, and she gradually could not see herself clearly.
The night was dark and the wine was beginning to take effect. Yue Niang didn't know how long she had cried that night.
When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying in bed.
Jiang Yunxiao was already awake, leaning aside and looking at the sleeping Yue Niang intently.
Yue Niang opened her eyes and met his.
"Madam, are you awake?" Jiang Yunxiao's voice was still hoarse.
Yue Niang shyly turned her head away: "Yeah."
Jiang Yunxiao forcibly turned Yue Niang's face over and asked, "Madam, why are you still shy?"
Yue Niang coughed a few times unnaturally: "I don't drink on weekdays, you know."
"I know." Jiang Yunxiao hugged Yue Niang tightly with heartache.
"I'm also sad about my grandmother's passing, but this is something no one could have predicted. Don't be too hard on yourself."
Yue Niang paused for a moment and asked, "Did I talk about grandma again last night?"
"I just needed some wine in the middle of the night. You held Dongzhu and cried for a long time. Yue'er, I feel so bad. I will definitely treat you very well in the future, just as well as grandma treats you."
Yue Niang was moved and hugged Jiang Yunxiao back: "Okay."
The two were still being affectionate when Dong Zhu "ignorantly" knocked on the door outside: "Young Master, Young Madam, are you awake?"
Jiang Yunxiao was a little annoyed and muffled, "What?"
Dong Zhu lowered his voice a bit: "Master Xu said he wanted to discuss something with the young lady."
"Let him wait." Jiang Yunxiao wanted to continue.
Yue Niang quickly pushed him away and said, "Tell the master I'll be right there."
After Dong Zhu's footsteps left, Yue Niang said to Jiang Yunxiao: "Okay, husband, business is more important."
Jiang Yunxiao was unhappy and refused to give in: "The heir of the Duke's Mansion is also a serious matter."
Yue Niang stood up seriously and said, "You are so unruly. Let's talk about it another day. The guests are waiting."
"I'll settle the score with Xu Tianke later." Jiang Yunxiao has been very annoying lately, and Yue Niang is a little overwhelmed.
The two of them slowly arrived at the reception hall.
Yue Niang asked the maid to look at the tea, and the one from yesterday: "Xu Tianke understood the moment he drank it."
"So my sister-in-law knew I was coming?"
Yue Niang wore a warm smile and asked, "Master Xu, do you think this deal is worth discussing?"
Xu Tianke took another sip and said, "Of course, this tea will sell very well in our Xu family's shop."
Yue Niang poured him another cup and said, "Okay, then I'll let the person in charge in Yunzhou talk to your tea shop."
Xu Tianke handed Yue Niang a piece of paper and said, "This is our shop in Yunzhou. Tell him to go directly to the shopkeeper. I will send a letter to Yunzhou right away."
The two reached a consensus that Xu Tianke was indeed talented in business.
Xu Tianke left with satisfaction.
Yue Niang fell into deep thought. She always felt that Xu Tianke's voice was very familiar.
"Husband, Xu Tianke's family is not as poor as He Jingqi's. Why haven't I heard that he married?"
Jiang Yunxiao thought for a moment and said, "Tian Ke has been clueless about matters of love and sex since he was little. He really dislikes women getting close to him. Old Madam Xu has been urging him to get married, but he always threatens to commit suicide. Plus, the Xu family's business is growing bigger and bigger under his leadership, so gradually, they don't push him that much anymore."
No wonder Yue Niang felt a little strange every time she saw Xu Tianke. After Jiang Yunxiao said this, Yue Niang finally understood what that strangeness was.
Feminine and pretty.
In modern terms, it means being very angry.
But Yue Niang didn't think much about it.
In this way, the day of gambling on chess finally arrived, and Tian secretly placed a lot of bets.
Jiang Yunxiao went to train his troops, so Yue Niang took Dong Zhu to Huanxi Tower to watch a play.
Dong Zhu was puzzled: "Madam, Tian is a criminal. We can just find her and report to the police. Why do we have to do this?"
Yue Niang looked at the crowded Huanxi Tower and said, "Because Tian is already dead, she fits the list of criminals executed by the government. Even if we report her to the government, they will have ten thousand ways to get her out."
Dong Zhu nodded in confusion: "Oh."
Yue Niang tapped Dong Zhu's head lovingly and said, "If you can't figure it out, just stop thinking about it."
"Young Madam, do you think I'm stupid and don't tell me anything?"
"How is that possible? I just wanted to get rid of her quietly, but I didn't want her to feel too bad. Do you know where she got the money for gambling on chess from when she's broke?"
Dong Zhu finally understood: "So it was you who lent the money, young lady?"
Yue Niang nodded slightly.
It is obvious that Tian will owe a lot of money today, and the biggest creditor is Yue Niang.
"Young Madam, what are you planning?"
Yue Niang continued to look at Tian, who was already going crazy after losing.
"Play her to death slowly."
Dong Zhu took a deep breath and said, "That's why gambling harms both you and others."
"But why didn't I see Tian Dezhong today?"
Dong Zhu also agreed, "Mrs. Chen hasn't appeared for a long time. Could it be that Mrs. Tian has sold Aunt Chen again?"
"It's okay with Wancheng watching over there. Yanqi, what's going on over there?"
Yan Qi came out from the dark: "Master, Wan Cheng said that Chen's general Tian Dezhong." Yan Qi made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"Just keep an eye on this place. I'll send someone to collect the debt tomorrow."
Yue Niang took Dong Zhu into Yaoxia Street and stopped at the door of Chen's house.
The door was not locked, so Yue Niang pushed it open and went in.
Wan Cheng was sitting on the roof, while Chen was sitting in the middle of the yard, washing a piece of clothing non-stop.
"Auntie, you? What's wrong?"
Chen raised her head and said, "You're here? Take me to see the official."
Yue Niang didn't understand: "Why do you have to do it yourself? He indulges in drinking, gambling, whoring, and pawning his wife and children. He will eventually end up in a dead end. Why?"
Chen looked at Yue Niang calmly: "Because I can't sleep in the same bed with you."
"Did he force you?" Yue Niang looked at Chen's body covered with scars.
Chen neither confirmed nor denied it, but told Yue Niang a story.
