Sir, my wife is pretending to be innocent again

Chapter 533 It’s time to dispatch Huabao

Cheng Xiaosi gave Mrs. Qi Changbo face and did not make it difficult for her to step down. Mrs. Cao also followed Cheng Xiaosi's words and said that the main point is that I also want to do my best, but I have to discuss it with my family before making a decision.

The topic was quickly bypassed and moved elsewhere. Everyone had smiles on their faces, as if nothing had happened. After another cup of tea, Mrs. Qi Changbo said goodbye, while Cheng Xiaosi used the excuse that her sister-in-law still had something to ask Cao Cao. The lady helped to stay.

After Mrs. Qi Changbo left, Mrs. Cao took a sip of tea and exhaled, "Thank you for your quick thinking. This matter almost caused a disaster."

They all want to gain a foothold as soon as possible and make meritorious deeds. She is a little impatient, but why did she almost fall into Mrs. Wen Changbo's trap?

Cheng Xiaosi also took a sip of tea and said, "How come Madam Uncle keeps telling you this?"

"To be honest, madam, I haven't heard my husband mention it."

Mrs. Cao was very upset, "In the past few days, she has often invited me to go out for fun, and visited me at home. Her words revealed her closeness and her intention to ask for help, which made me let down my guard."

"As soon as my mind got hot, I thought that I might be able to do my part, so I wanted to ask you to see if I could do it. I originally wanted to ask my lord yesterday, but he has been busy recently and came back too late to care. I said this, and I thought it would be okay to ask you first. If you have a way, I will tell my elders the same thing, and he will make the final decision anyway. "

"I forgot one thing. If you were anxious, I'm afraid you would have sent the news to Uncle Shunyi first. If it got to the emperor, you'd be scared just thinking about it."

Cheng Xiaosi smiled and said: "Madam, you can rest assured about this. You know that I am a person. If you don't have the brains to think about these things clearly, you will definitely ask my husband first. But what does Mrs. Wen Changbo mean by this move?"

"You and I have just arrived. It stands to reason that she should be very familiar with Mrs. Wang. Even if it is really for the sake of the people, she should go to Mrs. Wang and go directly to you past Mrs. Wang."

She did not continue what she said, smelling a conspiracy. She must know that this lady uncle had said similar words to her earlier, which also made her feel that the other party wanted something.

"It seems there is something inside."

Mrs. Cao nodded and mentioned something, "The Salt Patrol has always been a fat man. The money confiscated in the Salt Patrol case alone exceeded five million taels. I thought that the uncle's house was not short of money. I heard it a few days ago. The adults in my family said that not only can we not make any money at the moment, but we may also have to invest money in it. The main reason is that the production of green salt in the west is extremely high and the price is lower, which makes the sea salt business difficult to do. From this point of view, the uncle's house It shouldn’t be generous.”

Cheng Xiaosi raised his eyebrows, feeling that the water here was too deep. The dam burst and the people were affected, but the local officials did not report truthfully.
It seems that it is time to dispatch Huabao.

Hua Bao followed her here, but within two days of arriving here, he took advantage of the darkness and went to the mountains. He hasn't come back yet, and he doesn't know when he will come back.

The two talked for a while before Cheng Xiaosi got up and left. After returning, he went to Yuan Xin to discuss the matter. Yuan Xin also felt that there must be a hidden agenda in this matter, and he also thought that Funan had something shady and couldn't let Brother Cao Haihe. Yuan Su knew that he might want to drag the two of them into the water. "You might want to ask your cousin about this. He is out all day long and the people he knows are all familiar with local affairs."

Cheng Xiaosi nodded, and when Xiao Chengli came back, she went to ask. Xiao Chengli had not been idle since arriving in Funan. Not only had he inquired about the market, but he had also chosen the location of the escort agency. "I thought you all had inquired, but this Funan is not ordinary."

Xiao Chengli took a sip of water and said, "Our escort agency has just recruited a person. My cousin's husband should be able to use him. This person used to be an errand in the government office. He offended someone and lost his job, but he knows that he has a lot of troubles."

"That's great. We did some inquiring before, but now it seems that what we inquired about is only what people deliberately want us to know."

"This place is not as easy as you think."

Xiao Chengli said that he had met a lot of people recently and could introduce them to Yuan Su if needed. "No matter how powerful those people are, they can't silence everyone."

In the evening, Cheng Xiaosi and Yuan Su talked about today's events. Yuan Su also said that he and Cao Gehai had discovered the problem, but some things had been deliberately hidden, and the original officials here were protecting each other. They looked easy to talk, but were actually slippery. He didn't hold anything back, "But no matter everything is related to the word 'profit', the salt in Funan is not only unable to make money, but is also losing money. Qi Changbo must have some kind of deal with Governor Wang."

"Let's find out what's going on inside first."

Whether or not to stab the emperor depends on what Cao Gehai wants.

Some people worried that Cheng Xiaosi would stop being so busy and would play with the children at home or accompany Yuan Sijin to go shopping. After thinking about it, Yuan Sijin also decided on a day to go back. Si asked her to stay for a while, "Didn't we all leave people behind? Why are we so anxious to go back?"

Yuan Sijin said she was afraid that while she was away, people from the Liu family would come to visit again, and her face-conscious father-in-law would make random promises to others.

"Don't worry, your brother sent a letter to Liu Muyun. If trouble occurs in the Liu family, it will also affect the Yuan family. The letter has been sent out, and he has also made it clear to Liu Muyun that you will spend the New Year here before going back."

It's the end of October now, and the Chinese New Year will be in two months. "After working hard for so many years, you should also take a good rest for a few months. Do you see how well Xiao Yuan is playing here?"

"Besides, you have to be away from the Liu family to realize your importance. Your brother sent news to the people around you by the way, asking them to guard your dowry. Not a penny should be lost."

Yuan Sijin thought about it and agreed. The main reason was that although she had figured it out and knew what to do, she still didn't want to meet the Liu family. Especially during the New Year's Day, she was a good-luck boy. .

This year, she did not deserve this good boy.

In this way, Yuan Sijin stayed in peace and contentment, and took the time to write a letter to Liu Muyun. The main message was that her brother and sister-in-law enthusiastically persuaded her to stay, and she also wanted to be lazy for a few months before returning, so that he would not worry about it.

With the help of Xiao Chengli, Yuan Su soon had a certain understanding of the things in the city. He often talked with Cao Gehai until late at night before returning. Mrs. Wang from the governor Wang's house even entertained Cheng Xiaosi once, and her words were full of both inner and outer meanings. It was a test. Cheng Xiaosi gave full play to her non-competitive character. Apart from revealing that she was not short of money, she did not reveal anything or inquire about anything, making Mrs. Wang think that she was a spoiled girl at home. Her hobby is to spend money on jewelry, so she gave her two extremely expensive jewelry. Cheng Xiaosi just glanced at them lightly and did not show any liking for them.
