Died In Infancy! My Wife Is Actually A Villain

After Nangong Qian came back, Nangong Jue was already waiting in the main room.

Immediately, he looked up at the other party and asked in a low voice: "How was your visit to the Duke's Mansion today?"

Nangong Qian shrugged and smiled helplessly, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang has a very tough attitude and is unwilling to accept the congratulatory gift I sent."

Nangong Jue seemed to have guessed this result a long time ago. There was not much anger on his face, and he said calmly: "It seems that His Highness Prince Zhuang has a deep prejudice against us! Without any actual sincerity, the other party will probably not accept us."

"Dad, what should we do now? Qin'er is still being held in the Criminal Department, there's no way we can't help him!" Nangong Qian said.

Now A-mei is imprisoned in Weiyang Palace by His Majesty, and has completely lost the queen's power. The eldest son Nangong Qin was detained in the Ministry of Punishment and tortured every day.

If they can reconcile with King Zhuang, it is their best choice now.

It's a pity that the other party didn't give them a chance.

Nangong Jue frowned, and after a moment of silence, he said: "In a few days, I will go into the palace to talk to Concubine Xiao. She is Prince Zhuang's biological mother. If I can convince her, there should be some hope. If it doesn't work, we can only Thinking of other countermeasures.”

Hearing the second half of Nangong Jue's words, Nangong Qian was stunned for a moment, "Dad, you don't mean to kill Prince Zhuang, do you?"

Nangong Jue shook his head, "I'm not so impulsive."

...

Five days later, December came.

It snowed heavily in Kyoto, and the whole city was covered with snow, as if it was covered in white. All branches of Tianyi Guo are on par with each other, and there is an endless stream of diners coming to dine here every day.

Jiang Anran stays in the shop these days, and occasionally learns medical skills from the old beggar when he has time.

besides.....

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao has arrived.

At this time, Chun Xia ran in quickly, "Miss, the eldest son of the Xiao family is here again."

"Invite him in."

Hearing Chun Xia's reminder, Jiang Anran couldn't help but sigh, feeling quite powerless.

Since the last birthday party, her grandfather had introduced Xiao Zuo, the eldest son of the Xiao family, to her, hinting that she would have the opportunity to hang out with him more and get to know each other.

The other party probably received the same signal and would come to Tian Yi Guo to look for her every now and then.

how to say?

Xiao Zuo is actually pretty good.

He is good-looking, tall, and very polite in his words and deeds. At first glance, he looks like a well-educated young man.

The only shortcoming is that he has no emotional intelligence and speaks more straightforwardly.

In short, in the past few days of getting along with each other, she didn't call him, and she was even a little embarrassed sometimes.

The door was pushed open, and Chun Xia walked in with Xiao Zuo.

Today, Xiao Zuo specially changed into a yellow dress with a piece of white jade tied around his waist. He looked like a humble gentleman.

Looking at Jiang Anran who was in a daze in the room, Xiao Zuo smiled slightly and asked as politely as possible: "Miss Jiang, I came here without disturbing you, right?"

"There isn't much going on in my store, Mr. Xiao, don't worry about it." Jiang Anran chuckled, showing a professional smile.

"Oh, that's good."

Xiao Zuo nodded, and then asked: "Miss Jiang, can I sit here?"

"Okay, Mr. Xiao, just do whatever you want."

"OK."

After getting Jiang Anran's consent, Xiao Zuo sat on the stool and said: "Miss Jiang, I heard that it was your idea to open this Tianyi Guo restaurant. His Highness just helped behind the scenes. Seeing Miss Jiang He must be a very good person.”

A smile appeared on Jiang Anran's face, "Young Master Xiao said something serious, but I am also messing around."

"Hey, Miss Jiang, you don't have to be so humble. Now almost everyone in Kyoto knows about Tianyipot. This kind of strength is not something ordinary people can achieve."

"hehe."

Jiang Anran smiled awkwardly and didn't know how to answer.

He knew that Xiao Zuo was actively looking for topics to avoid making the atmosphere cold.

But the problem is that the topics the other party talks about only make both parties more embarrassed.

"Mr. Xiao, are you hungry now? How about I get you a pot and try something from our shop."

Jiang Anran took the initiative to change the topic.

"I don't seem to be very hungry. How about next time? I will definitely try the food in Miss Jiang's shop next time I have a chance." Xiao Zuo said.

"Fine!"

Jiang Anran nodded, but didn't know what to say anymore.

Just as the two were chatting awkwardly with each other, Gu Chen walked in with Jiang Heyan.

"Cousin, why are you here?"

Looking at the two people facing each other, Gu Chen asked suspiciously.

Jiang Heyan next to her also looked at Xiao Zuo and Jiang Anran with a puzzled look.

Is it possible that the two of them are really dating? !

"Ahem..."

Xiao Zuo felt something was going on in his heart, so he pretended to cough, looked at Gu Chen unnaturally, and explained: "I finished my official business and happened to pass by the store, so I came up and sat for a while."

Compared with Xiao Zuo's guilty conscience, Jiang Anran was more relaxed and looked at Gu Chen with a puzzled face, "His Royal Highness Prince Zhuang, why are you here?"

Gu Chen did not ask further questions, but looked at Jiang Anran and replied: "Come here and ask you about the store."

Jiang Anran was stunned for a moment, not understanding, "What's the matter?! The account book?"

Without further ado, Gu Chen took Jiang Heyan and sat down at their table, and then asked, "How much money has the store made in the past few months?"

Jiang Anran thought for a while and said: "If you leave out the cost and labor, you will probably make a profit of 10,000 taels of silver."

"So many!" Xiao Zuo was startled and shouted subconsciously.

Ten thousand taels of silver, which is also one thousand taels of gold, is more than his five-year salary!

It turned out that the other party only used it for two months. Is this doing business?

Gu Chen glanced at Xiao Zuo, didn't pay much attention, and then said: "Okay, you can send someone to check out the grain shops in Kyoto in the past few days. If there is grain, buy them all."

"Why?"

"Just do as you're told. Anyway, I'll be useful."

If I remember correctly, there will be famine and plague in the Huzhou area in the spring of next year. The people will not have enough to eat, and there will be refugees everywhere. Food prices in major regions have also risen seriously, and the country will be in trouble.

Now that food prices have not risen, Gu Chen plans to hoard a batch of food to help people in Huzhou survive the famine next year.
