Chapter 242 Wealthy Businessman Yu Pengze
Xiao Jiye looked at Qin Wanying with great interest, wondering what she was going to say.
Qin Wanying got up from his chest, her fingers brushing across his chest, her fingertips tracing his sexy Adam's apple, marveling in her heart at the existence of such a perfectly handsome man in the world.
Xiao Jiye felt a tingling, itchy sensation on his chest and neck, and his breathing became more rapid.
"Go lie down over there," Qin Wanying said, pointing to the bed.
Xiao Jiye smiled slightly.
Compared to when they first met, Qin Wanying is no longer reserved with him. They get along very casually and she even makes such requests to him.
"I'd rather obey than be overly respectful," Xiao Jiye said, looking at Qin Wanying with a dazed expression.
......
Chang Jingcheng divorced his wife and instructed his son not to tell anyone about his visit to the Crown Prince and Crown Princess at Tianji Garden.
Chang Zijin knew what she should and shouldn't say, and earnestly agreed.
Chang Jingcheng and his son returned to Yuezhou.
Two days later, guests came to visit our home.
They are the War King's men.
He thought to himself that the Crown Princess was indeed amazing; she could even predict such a thing.
The War King's men promised him many benefits, gave him a large sum of money, and told him about many advantages.
Since His Highness the Crown Prince has given the order, he must pretend to agree, but he cannot agree too quickly.
He hesitated for a moment, but then let the person leave.
The man came again the second time, and he was received as usual, but still did not agree.
The third time, the War King increased his stakes and even brought gold and treasures with him.
Only then did he seem to finally make up his mind and agree.
He was also uneasy, after all, he had lived to be an inside man for the first time in his life, and he was afraid that people would find out.
Thus, he successfully feigned siding with the War King.
She secretly sent a messenger to the crown prince, telling him everything.
Xiao Jiye was very satisfied.
They also remarked that the War King was quite wealthy, sending away boxes and boxes of gold and treasure.
On the imperial side, the national treasury was actually in deficit.
After making money, Qin Yonghua served the court by providing substantial financial support to Emperor Yao free of charge.
The silver used to manufacture the hidden weapons and cannons was mainly provided by Qin Yonghua.
The Emperor and the Crown Prince were both very satisfied with the Marquis of Dingbei's residence.
The War King also has money, and he must have merchants like Qin Yonghua supporting him.
If the major merchants can be eliminated, it will be like having Xiao Dongqian's Achilles' heel.
After all, without money, many things cannot be done.
He discussed this matter with Qin Wanying.
Qin Wanying thought about it and realized that there was indeed a large merchant who supported the War King and whose business was very large, comparable to that of her third brother.
This person's name is Yu Pengze.
Qin Wanying's eyebrows drooped slightly because she had seen Yu Pengze at a banquet before.
I didn't see any evidence of wrongdoing, otherwise I would have taken action against him long ago.
Perhaps it's due to the protagonist's halo. After all, this person is quite important to the male lead.
Qin Wanying suddenly remembered something.
"By the way, this Yu Pengze has some family problems," Qin Wanying said.
Xiao Jiye's eyes lit up slightly.
Qin Wanying told him about Yu Pengze's family.
It turns out that Yu Pengze had a wife named Wang before, and they had a son named Yu Jiashu.
When he was young, he wasn't doing as well as he is now; he was penniless and had nothing.
The Wang family had some money. At that time, Yu Pengze tricked Wang into marrying him and used her dowry to earn his first pot of gold.
Later, the Wang family fell into decline, and Yu Pengze lost his former gentleness towards Wang, often speaking to her with a cold face.
Later, I met a woman.
This woman was Ms. Li, the daughter of a wealthy merchant.
Yu Pengze originally built his fortune on women, and if he wants to seek better development, he needs more financial support.
He was very skilled with women, and before long, he became involved with Li, the daughter of a wealthy merchant.
But how could Li Shi be willing to marry Yu Pengze as a concubine?
Let him divorce his wife so that she can marry him.
A man cannot divorce his wife without cause, so Yu Pengze tried to smear her by accusing her of adultery.
He then divorced his wife.
For a woman to engage in promiscuity is an extremely shameful act, and Wang was despised by everyone.
As for his son Yu Jiashu, because Li Shi disliked him and didn't want him to stay in the Yu family, Yu Pengze also labeled him as an illegitimate child and spread rumors that he was the child of an adulterer.
Yu Jiashu was looked down upon from a young age, and he deeply hated his father and Li Shi.
Yu Jiashu, however, proved to be a promising individual. He passed the imperial examination with the rank of Tan Hua (third-place scholar) and was directly appointed to a position in the Ministry of War.
Lady Li bore Yu Pengze only one son, who was utterly unruly. Yu Pengze had concubines, but had no other children besides these two sons.
Seeing the state of Li's son and how outstanding Yu Jiashu was, Yu Pengze, being old, felt that he should have a successor and thus conceived the idea of bringing Yu Jiashu back.
Later, they actually took him back, thinking that after all, they were father and son. There might have been some resentment before, but as long as Yu Pengze treated him well in the future, people are all made of flesh and blood, and they could eventually restore their relationship.
“This Yu Jiashu can be a breakthrough point. Although he went back, he is thinking about revenge. We share the same goal as him, we both want to bring down Yu Pengze,” Qin Wanying concluded.
Xiao Jiye nodded.
There was a breakthrough.
This Yu Jiashu seems to have quite a connection with King Zhao...
Xiao Jiye became interested as he listened to Qin Wanying's thoughts.
What connection did Yu Jiashu have with King Zhao?
However, Qin Wanying's thoughts remained unanswered, and Xiao Jiye felt it inconvenient to ask.
Qin Wanying returned to the Marquis's residence that day because she thought that her fifth brother, Qin Rufeng, should know this Yu Jiashu.
They were candidates for the imperial examination in the same year, and all three of them ranked in the top three in the palace examination.
Qin Wanying mentioned this person to Qin Rufeng.
"Oh, Yu Jiashu? Of course I know him." Qin Rufeng's expression was gentle and refined as he recalled the person his younger sister had mentioned.
“Back when we took the imperial examination, he was a member, and I came in second.”
"If it weren't for him, I would have won the top three prizes in the imperial examinations," Qin Rufeng said with a smile.
"Later, in the imperial examination, I was the top scholar and he was the third-ranked scholar."
"We drank together twice more later, and I felt he was a decent person. He's currently working in the Ministry of War," Qin Rufeng continued.
However, Qin Rufeng sensed that this person was burdened with worries and had a story to tell. Qin Rufeng didn't tell Qin Wanying any of this.
"Fifth brother, I want to meet this person. I have something very important to say to him."
If I remember correctly, shortly after he returned to the Yu family, he was framed by his stepmother and younger brother, which affected his career. We need to help him.
However, the book does not describe in detail how she was framed; Qin Wanying will only find out when she meets Yu Jiashu.
Qin Rufeng listened to his younger sister's words without showing any emotion. He thought to himself that he and Yu Jiashu had some connection, and he should help her if he could.
Without asking any questions, they arranged for Qin Wanying and Yu Jiashu to meet.
Hou House.
Yu Jiashu bowed to Qin Wanying, who allowed him to sit opposite her. Qin Rufeng sat beside the two of them, and the three of them enjoyed tea together.
Yu Jiashu felt a little uneasy.
When the Crown Princess saw him, she didn't know what to say to him, and Ru Feng didn't say much either.
