businesswoman's wife

After leaving the palace, Xu Xiuyi went straight to the An residence, and it was not An Chengshao, not Qin Xu, but Qin Yan who came to open the door for her.

Seeing her, Qin Yan stretched out her hand and was about to close the door, but Xu Xiuyi held it against the door and said coldly, "This is not your home, you have no right to drive me away."

Qin Yan was furious, and on his smiling face was full of resentment towards Xu Xiuyi.

"You're shameless when you're not here, Xu Xiuyi, you're the most shameless widow I've ever seen."

Xu Xiuyi didn't agree with her. Since she was here, she thought that she might meet Qin Yan. Since she thought about meeting Qin Yan, she naturally thought that Qin Yan would speak ill of her. She didn't take her to heart, she just I came to see An Chengshao.

"I don't need you to tell me if he's there, I'll see for myself."

After speaking, she pushed Qin Yan away and went inside.

Qin Yan took a few steps to catch up and grabbed her sleeve: "Xu Xiuyi, stop for me, Young Master Cheng doesn't like you at all, how could he like a widow like you, you are a stalker. If you want to give me a hug, don't you want to be ashamed."

"Let go." Xu Xiuyi glanced at her coldly, but Qin Yan laughed.

"Xu Xiuyi, you really thought that Young Master Cheng would like a widow like you. You don't want to ask him who he is. An Ye, the richest man in the world, has friendship with many royal relatives and nobles, and even the emperor appreciates him quite a bit. , If it wasn't for his own unwillingness, then the position of prime minister would have been his, how much do you know about this?"

Xu Xiuyi was startled, she didn't know anything about this.

Seeing her look like this, Qin Yan was complacent and continued: "Young Master Cheng just wants to play with you, so he won't tell you his true identity, just dump it after playing, lest you pester him in the future, do you really think that He likes you, and if he really likes you, he won't burn the embroidered silk that you and Jinniang embroidered in Zhuangding."

"What did you say?"

Xu Xiuyi was greatly shocked, staring at Qin Yan with black eyes.

Having said this, Qin Yanle saw Xu Xiuyi like this, and said with jealousy: "You still don't understand what I said, okay, I'm in a good mood today, I'll repeat it to you, Xu Xiuyi, you're not worthy of Cheng. Young Master, Young Master Cheng never told you his true identity, because he was afraid that you would pester him after breaking up, and the goods you ordered with Jinniang Xiu Zhuang were also set on fire by Young Master Cheng. I will tell you again along the way. In a word, the behind-the-scenes boss of Jinniang Embroidery Village is Cheng Shao, and he is going to Beijing this time..."

Just as he was talking, the door opened, An Chengshao and Wu Mo stood outside the door, and when they saw Xu Xiuyi and Qin Yan, the atmosphere suddenly changed, Qin Yan didn't dare to say anything else, just gave Xu Xiuyi a proud look and didn't open his head.

Xu Xiuyi's pair of black eyes fell on An Chengshao. There was something hidden in the bottom of his eyes, but An Chengshao suddenly panicked.

"Embroidery."

It must be a plan of alienation. Xu Xiuyi tried her best to calm herself down and not take Qin Yan's words, but at this moment, she had nothing to do with it, and she told An Chengshao about the child.

Even if Qin Yan wanted to alienate her from An Chengshao, it was impossible for him to spread rumors out of nowhere. Seeing Qin Yan's triumphant appearance, Xu Xiuyi believed her words by three points.

With the remaining seven points, it is absolutely impossible for her to hypnotize herself.

"You're back, I missed my appointment yesterday, sorry."

She apologized, her tone repressed calm.

An Chengshao felt another inexplicable panic in his heart. He only felt that Xu Xiuyi seemed to be a little farther away from him. Looking at Qin Yan, he was only afraid that Qin Yan and Xu Xiuyi said something that should not be said.

Thinking about what Qin Yan could say to Xu Xiuyi, it was nothing but humiliating words. According to Xu Xiuyi's temperament, she would not take Qin Yan's humiliation to heart.

Why did he always feel that Xu Xiuyi was so alienated from him?

"Qin Yan, you go back first, Fifth Prince, please take her back."

Qin Yan glanced at Xu Xiuyi with a sneer, but she didn't stay with her temper. She wanted to see how Xu Xiuyi fell out with An Chengshao, and she gave them enough space to fall out.

As soon as Wu Mo and Qin Yan left, Young Master An Cheng couldn't wait to come up and hug Xu Xiuyi tightly.

Xu Xiuyi closed her eyes, Qin Yan's words were still in her ears, and her mind was filled with the contemptuous look in Qin Yan's eyes when she said these words, she finally couldn't hold back.

"You are An Ye, who is famous in the world outside Guan?"

An Chengshao's body stiffened. He was unwilling to tell Xu Xiuyi his identity, because he was really afraid that Xu Xiuyi would follow the vine and investigate too deeply.

It seems that Qin Yan must have told Xu Xiuyi about his identity, and he also said some unpleasant things along the way.

When this happened, he no longer denied or hidden, hugged Xu Xiuyi: "Yes."

"Why are you keeping your mouth shut to me?"

"I just……"

Qin Yan said that he was afraid that you would stalk him after knowing his true identity.

It's not that Xu Xiuyi doesn't believe it, but she also needs a reason.

He just said: "I'm afraid to say it out and scare you."

How far-fetched, even if he is the emperor and general, if she doesn't like it, Xu Xiuyi will definitely not be uncommon.

Even if he is just a wanted criminal beggar and liar, if she likes it, Xu Xiuyi will not dislike it.

She thought that he should know her, so even if he lied, he would not make up such a reason.

She froze her voice, her tone extremely indifferent: "I wasn't frightened, it was impossible to miss the appointment yesterday, I heard from Wu Mo that you will escort the car to deliver the goods in a few days, I'm afraid I'm very busy these days, I wish you a smooth journey. "

After speaking, she walked away, she actually still had a lot of questions to ask, just because she was afraid, afraid of hearing a positive answer, afraid of him admitting it himself.

She escaped because she was afraid. She would rather believe what Su Jinyuan said. The fire originated from a concubine in the palace who had a bad relationship with Jinniang. She also didn't want to believe that what Qin Yan said was all under An Chengshao's instructions.

She needs to calm down. An Chengshao's embrace has always been warm and generous, but this time it made her want to run away and made her feel confused.

After she finished speaking, she grabbed his arms and went to the door.

An Chengshao frowned, and when she pulled the door knocker, she came up and hugged her tightly from behind.

"You're angry?"

"No."

She answered weakly. In fact, he told her frankly that she should not ask too much about him, and she slowly convinced herself to get used to his deliberate concealment, but since she already knew his identity, he would Why bother making a reason to prevaricate her.

Between lovers, the most important thing is to be honest, right?

She didn't mind his identity, only why he lied, and even more what Qin Yan said.

Jinniang Xiu Village is his, and he also set the fire of Jinniang Xiu Village.

Thinking of this, her heart became even more disturbed, she could only try to keep her breath steady, and said, "I'm really not angry, Cheng Shao, I spent a day playing in the palace yesterday, and I was quite tired. I woke up in the morning and went straight to your house, and now I want to go back. Take a break."

"Xiu'er, don't go. In order to avoid Qin Yan, I will leave the capital in a few days and stay with me."

Xu Xiuyi closed her eyes and took a deep breath in secret to get rid of her unpleasant thoughts. She turned around and raised her lips slightly towards An Chengshao: "Okay, then I won't go."

One day, the two of them were lingering in one place. The messy things in Xu Xiuyi's mind gradually dissipated because of his tender feelings. Just because they dissipated, it did not mean that there was no grudge at all. Regarding the child, she still planned to first. Slowly tell An Chengshao.

The last time she believed Qin Yan's words, she and An Chengshao tortured each other and caused a misunderstanding.

Although there is a lesson from the past, she is inexplicably sure that this time Qin Yan's so-called alienation scheme seems to be true.

Ann outside the gate.

How could she not know that she almost monopolized all the business of silk, furs, medicinal materials, oil fume, rice, tea, etc. outside the customs, and was the richest person outside the customs.

His wealth, rich enough to rival the country, is more than enough to buy two small cities and become his own king.

It's just that he was obsessed with business and didn't care about power and status. The emperor had intended to let him enter the court as an official and be named a second-rank officer, but he politely refused.

This person made friends with Shenguang, and several vassal kings outside the gate were not on good terms with each other. He mediated and reconciled, and was the guest of every vassal king.

This person is generous, helping the poor, and has a very good reputation outside the customs. Everyone admires him for three points. Outside the customs, he can shake three points with a stomping, calling everyone willing to serve him.

He was a legendary and mythical figure. Xu Xiuyi finally knew that Master An was An Chengshao who was holding her in his arms.

His injuries have not healed, but they have scabbed over. Xu Xiuyi removed the stitches for him, re-bandaged him, and lay quietly in his arms.

He kissed her forehead and held her hand, always uneasy in his heart.

"Embroidery."

"kindness."

"I didn't mean to lie to you."

"I know, I don't care who you are."

He hugged her tightly, his chin resting on her smooth forehead.

"Are you really not angry?"

"No."

"Wait for what I have to do last night, and I will take you away. As far as prosperity and wealth are concerned, I am just a cloud, and you are my everything."

He was affectionate, how could she not be moved.

But she was more entangled in what he called, which he had mentioned more than once.

"What the hell are you going to do? Can't you tell me?"

He was silent, she understood, chuckled, and changed the subject: "How long are you going this time?"

"About half a month, there was something wrong with my foreign affairs. According to the legend of Lu Qing and Lu Hong, I have to go back in person."

"You are the famous An Ye. I know you are also in the silk and satin business. A few days ago, I ordered a batch of goods from Jinniang Embroidery Village, but there were problems one after another."

She paused for a moment to observe his reaction, and she instinctively retracted his hand around her shoulder.

She felt a chill in her heart, and continued as if nothing had happened: "Originally, I planned to use this batch of goods to defeat the Bao Bao Tang, but I didn't expect that Jinniang Xiu Zhuang would be burned overnight, and all the things I ordered were also melted. After the ashes, fortunately, I have found another way to make Baoningtang come back again."

"Oh? In what way?"

He seemed to be very interested, but Xu Xiuyi felt even colder. Normally, he never cared about her business. Even if he knew that Su Jinyi was suppressing her everywhere, he didn't mention her business at all. , only romance.

"I launched a herbal tea, which was called the Queen Mother yesterday, and the Queen Mother liked it very much. I want to ask the Queen Mother to name this herbal tea, and then borrow the effect of the Queen Mother to launch this herbal tea. Once this kind of herbal tea can be used as food The release of the herbal tea that does not hurt the body under fire and dryness will surely make a sensation in the whole city and completely suppress the Baoantang."

She opened her mouth slowly, and every word was a test. What Qin Yan said, she was brooding. If she didn't verify it herself, she would not feel comfortable.

But what if the result wasn't what she wanted to see?

He was silent for a while, then smiled and kissed her forehead: "How smart, you always have so many ways."

"Since I am the home of the Su family, I naturally want to make Baoning Hall bigger and better. Su Jinyi is suppressing everywhere. How can I do what he wants."

An Chengshao nodded: "No matter what you do, I will support you."

Xu Xiuyi smiled slightly and leaned in his arms, feeling a little mixed in her heart.

*

After noon, Xu Xiuyi had to leave, An Chengshao was quite reluctant, Xu Xiuyi promised him to come to see him as soon as he came back from outside the customs, and he reluctantly kissed her goodbye.

When she came out of the An residence, those repressed emotions poured out. She had no way not to believe Qin Yan, nor could she completely believe Qin Yan.

She deliberately disclosed Baoningtang's next plan to An Chengshao. She didn't want to see the scene that she didn't want to see happen. She only hoped that everything was just nonsense by Qin Yan, and Qin Yan's mouth was a bit more ok. Believe.

For a few days in a row, time hurried, and in the blink of an eye, the Su Mansion was beaming with joy.

The young lady of the household family, Lu Yu'er, walked through the door today, and the Su family welcomed another official lady.

Then Su Jinyu, after learning from the air of old lady Su that the other party was the lady of the family, was looking forward to becoming the groom's officer day and night. Today, his dream finally came true, and the bride entered the Su mansion.

The sedan chair landed at the entrance of the Su Mansion, the suona was blown, the cannonballs were set off, the hall was full of guests and friends, and the congratulations were endless.

Xu Xiuyi sat in the room, listening to the excitement outside, with a contemptuous smile on the corner of her mouth, she said to Jin Yuyinyu, "Have you sent all your posts?"

"Send."

"Go and see if anyone is here."

"Grandma, will there be trouble? The old lady still doesn't know that we invited Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law to come over. Does she know if she will blame us?" Yinyu asked cautiously.

Xu Xiuyi sneered: "What kind of trouble do you think Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law can make? Such a poor family should be thankful for having the face to eat this wedding dinner. I just think that if Tai Lian gave birth to a son, an old lady I will definitely take her back to be my aunt. We will see her in the future. We might as well be polite to her family earlier and share a glass of wedding wine. They are not here to cause trouble, but come to congratulate her. They are guests. The old lady can say what?"

Yinyu heard the words, nodded, and said no more, and went down with the goldfish.

After leaving the house, Yin Yu frowned and said, "I always feel that grandma has some plans. Grandma seems to be at odds with the fourth master. When the eighth aunt came that day, grandma also wanted to ask the eighth aunt to find one for the fourth master. Poor."

"Let's say a few words less, so as not to let people hear it, you know who the fourth master is, and how much means he has used in order to win our Lady Lan, you should also teach him a lesson, so as not to harm us in the future, I Now I don't dare to go to the surroundings of the fourth master's house, look at Sister Mingxuan, I don't know what to do now, but she is still the old lady's favorite person."

Hearing this, Yin Yu shuddered and said hurriedly: "The fourth master looked at me with that look, and he also panicked me. I also hope that the Miss Hubu family this time will be a powerful character and treat him well, but you say That Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law really won't make a fool of yourself?"

"Grandma didn't say that, they are from a small family, and they are lucky to come in. They dare to make trouble. Today's people are either rich or expensive. Our fourth grandmother is still from the household department. land."

"According to what you said, I don't think they dare to come. Let's go and have a look. If you can't keep up, you really don't dare to come."

"Well, let's go."

*

The bride entered the door, the nanny and Xu Xiuyi hugged the blue girl and went to the lobby. After praying to heaven and earth, Su Jinyu looked at the bride with a smile, caught a glimpse of Xu Xiuyi out of the corner of his eyes, with a bit of greed and evil, but quickly covered it up and put on The gentle look of the clothes.

Two worship the high hall.

In the hall, the old lady of the Su family was overwhelmed with joy. This new daughter-in-law has a really good figure, with a big front and back, and she will definitely give birth to a big fat boy in the future.

She lost a son, and now she can only rely on the baby's younger son to continue the lineage.

The husband and wife bowed to each other and were sent to the bridal chamber.

The red ribbon, Su Jinyu led the way, Lu Yuer followed behind, but the husband and wife sang along, so discordant, everyone applauded, and some people were clamoring to go to the bridal chamber, and the scene was extremely happy.

Xu Xiuyi saw Tai Lian's brother and sister-in-law at a glance. In fact, she had already visited her a few days after the invitation was sent out.

The cottage is a small cottage with three thatched cottages. Tai Lian's elder brother is a lazy person, and his sister-in-law is a biting woman. Poor Tai Lian is about to give birth in September, but she has to cook every day to serve her brother and sister-in-law.

When Xu Xiuyi went to see her that time, she gave her brother and sister-in-law 100 taels of silver, which would be enough for their family to spend half their life if they lived frugally, but it was just a deposit.

She said that if everything was done according to her instructions, she would pay the remaining 300 taels at once, and let their family fly away and leave the capital.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation, a big pie that fell from the sky, 400 taels of silver, as long as there is a scene at the wedding, and then run away, no one is willing, not to mention that Tai Lian's elder brother is a hooligan or something like that .

Seeing that the bride and groom walked to the back hall, surrounded by a group of people, they were about to be sent to the bridal chamber, and Tai Lian's brother-in-law suddenly picked up a vase with the word "Happiness" and smashed it on the ground.

Suddenly all eyes were attracted to the past.

I just heard the biting woman cry hysterically: "You have no conscience, you have no conscience, my sister is giving birth to you at home, but you are taking a wife here. Even if you think my sister is just a maid, then Children are always your seeds, Fourth Master Su, you are the most heartless man in the world, you have no conscience."

Born in the market, Tai Lian's brother-in-law is very good at scolding the street.

After one finished scolding, the other big man also wailed: "Pity my brother and sister who are free and lonely, my sister entered your Su family as a maid, I thought it was her blessing, but now her belly is enlarged, and she is in your Su family again. Being driven out of the house, getting pregnant before marriage, being stabbed in the spine and insulted every day, and dying several times, the old lady of the Su family, is this how your Su family treats the servants? Does your Su family run a brothel? Any girl can be chosen by the young master, and after you get a big belly, you will put some money to cover up the ugly and drive it out. Where are you, the children of our poor people, are you treating us as beasts?"

As soon as the word came out, the audience sighed, and everyone kept silent. After all, this is someone's housework, and it is not easy to interfere.

Seeing that the scene was ugly, Mrs. Su Li from the big house came out and pulled Tai Lian's brother-in-law and said, "If you have something to say, we will go to the backyard to talk."

"The backyard said, is your Su family so shameless? I'm just going to say here today that my sister Tai Lian entered your Su family at the age of four, and was spoiled by Su Jinyu last winter. Now Su Jinyu wants to marry a wife. Grandma looked uncomfortable, so she kicked my sister, who was nine months pregnant, out of the Su Mansion, I want to say something today, what's your reason for your Su family treating the servants like this?"

"Embroidery!"

The old lady of the Su family was probably out of proportion, so she could only stare at Xu Xiuyi.

Seeing that Su Jinyu was embarrassed enough, Xu Xiuyi came up and pretended to persuade: "Two people, Tai Lian was kicked out because she had dirty hands and feet, and as for her pregnancy, she said it belonged to our fourth master, that is, our fourth master. What? What evidence do you have?"

Xu Xiuyi's remarks undoubtedly show that the Su family's great cause has bullied the poor.

Someone in the hall sighed and whispered.

The old lady of the Su family couldn't even hold on to her face, and Su Jinyu and the bride couldn't leave because of such a commotion. Standing there, Su Jinyu's face was pale and pale, and she never imagined that he would make such a big joke today on his happy day.

Looking at his newlywed wife, he was probably angry, and had already lost all the red ribbons. If it wasn't for the three salutations, Su Jinyu would be afraid of losing such a good daughter-in-law in vain.

"The third grandma, the third grandma of the Su family, you are so bullying. What proof do you have when you say that my sister stole something, and what proof do you have when you say that the child in my sister's womb is not from the fourth master?"

Xu Xiuyi pretended to be speechless, and Su Li came over to persuade: "This, Tai Lian brothers, we can discuss everything, don't make trouble."

"I didn't make trouble, and I gave it up today. My sister told me all the shameful things that the fourth master of your Su family did. Old lady, the maid next to you, Mingxuan, asked your fourth master to make it big. My stomach is smashed, but Mingxuan is a fierce temperament. If you want to go to the yamen to sue the fourth master, you disregard the laws of the heaven and you have tied people down overnight. Now I don’t know whether to live or die. , Tai Lian and Xun Miao are the two personal maids. Xun Miao gave birth to a baby girl for your fourth master. You didn't allow her any status, but you spent money to clear the relationship and sent her to prison. Does Tai Lian want to do the same? Let me tell you as a big brother, Mrs. Su, there is a law in this world. Even if you have a relationship with the Duke Huguo’s mansion and the Household’s mansion, you can’t ignore the law and waste your life. , Last month, a girl was hanged in your house, and in my opinion, it is probably the fourth master of you who wasted and humiliated and hanged himself."
