"So, not only did you fail to complete what I told you, but you were captured by people from the West Factory?"
In a side hall of Duke Jing's mansion, Chen Zhirong closed the "Yangzhou Travel Notes" in his hand and put it aside. Then he turned to look at the big men in front of him, with a flash of ridicule in his eyes, and
Asked.
The men in front of Chen Zhirong were originally characters who roared in the rivers and lakes and licked blood from their knife edges. But now, except for the leader, they all had bruises on their noses and faces, with injuries and blood stains all over their bodies, and they looked miserable.
And the only person who was not injured was Niu Bang, the leader of the men.
This time Niu Bang led everyone to kidnap Cui Qianxue, but he never expected to be blocked by Xichang. As a result, except for Niu Bang who escaped with his own skills, all the other men were captured by Xichang gangsters.
Then after another severe torture, they were all released.
At this time, Chen Zhirong's voice was not harsh, but as charming and charming as ever. However, all the men, including Niu Bang, couldn't help but tremble, with a look of panic on their faces.
This was not the first time they helped Chen Zhirong. They knew Chen Zhirong's methods very well, but it was precisely because of their understanding that they felt scared.
Niu Bang's original power and calmness are now gone. He just replied calmly: "Yes, we just controlled Cui Qianxue and were blocked by Xichang Fanzi. Our brothers are no match for them.
Most of them were arrested, but everyone was still stubborn and did not reveal you, Miss."
Chen Zhirong snorted coldly and said: "No disclosure? I think the West Factory didn't ask you about your origins at all, right? Otherwise, how could they just torture you and let you go so easily? The torture in the West Factory
Under this, if all the means are used, I don’t think any of you can withstand it.”
Having said that, there was no trace of worry or fear on Chen Zhirong's face.
From the beginning, Chen Zhirong knew that if he wanted to attack Cui Qianxue, Zhao Junchen would definitely stop him, but Chen Zhirong still did it without hesitation, because Chen Zhirong also knew that because of the existence of those "secret agreements", regardless of whether he
Whether he succeeds in the end or not, Zhao Junchen will not really take revenge on himself.
In fact, what Zhao Junchen did also confirmed Chen Zhirong's suspicion. Although the people from the West Factory captured Niu Bang's men, they only tortured them without questioning them, and then released them easily. Obviously
Just to "beat the dog to show the owner".
However, after all, it was only the dog that was beaten, and the pain was not on him, so Chen Zhirong was not afraid.
On the other side, Niu Bang looked up carefully, but could not see Chen Zhirong's mood or anger. So he asked tentatively: "Miss, it's not that we are incompetent this time, it's just because we didn't prepare for the appearance of Xichang, but next time we will definitely
Won't……"
Chen Zhirong smiled softly and interrupted with a wave of his hand: "Oh? Next time? No need. Although your action failed this time, my goal was achieved after all. So there is no need for the next time... What's more, if
With Xichang watching from the side, I'm afraid no matter how many times I give you a chance, it won't work."
Hearing what Chen Zhirong said, Niu Bang couldn't help but be startled. He originally thought that Chen Zhirong would make a big splash this time, but Chen Zhirong seemed to be in a good mood at this time?
…………
In fact, Chen Zhirong had just received the news that Cui Mian had already kicked Cui Yu and Cui Qianxue out of the house.
In Chen Zhirong's eyes, Zhao Junchen was the same kind of person as himself - not only ambitious, contemptuous of secular rules and vision, only interested in interests, and unscrupulous to achieve his goals - so when Zhao Junchen chose his wife, he only
He will value the benefits this marriage will bring to him, and will never let his own preferences and preferences make the decision.
From a certain perspective, Chen Zhirong's view of Zhao Junchen is not wrong.
Nowadays, although Cui Qianxue has lost her relationship with Zhao Junchen due to various rumors, and it may be difficult to find other in-laws, but because she was expelled from the house, her identity has been changed from the former Pavilion elder, Qingliu leader Cui
Mian's granddaughter became the daughter of Cui Yu, a mere lecturer at the sixth-rank Imperial Academy!
As a result, for Zhao Junchen, there is no benefit in marrying Cui Qianxue. Therefore, even if Zhao Junchen likes Cui Qianxue again, or Cui Qianxue will not marry Zhao Junchen, because of the difference in status and interests, it is destined that Zhao Junchen will not marry her.
Marrying Cui Qianxue as your head wife is just a way to marry Cui Qianxue as a concubine at most.
However, Chen Zhirong didn't care who Zhao Junchen's concubines were and how many there were in total. She only saw Zhao Junchen's position as the head wife!
Now, although Chen Zhirong's plan failed, due to the self-assertion of the Xichang fans, Cui Mian was finally forced to drive Cui Qianxue out of the house, and her goal was finally achieved.
Chen Zhirong is a "result-only" person. Now that her goal has been achieved, although she is a little dissatisfied with the incompetence of Niu Bang and others, she is still in a good mood at this time.
At this time, seeing Niu Bang and others dare to answer the conversation casually, Chen Zhirong's eyes flashed with disdain - these so-called people in the world are ultimately useless, especially compared with the power of the imperial court. What happened today is also
This was verified - but thinking that they would be useful in the future, Chen Zhirong did not intend to embarrass them at this time. He just waved and said: "Although you failed in your errand, seeing that you fell into the hands of Xichang
Since you have suffered a lot during this period, I will not punish you this time. Next, each of you will go to the accountant to withdraw thirty taels of silver to recuperate and rest for a period of time..."
As she said this, Chen Zhirong's beautiful face suddenly turned cold, and she added: "But remember, if you mess up your errand next time, I won't be so easy to talk to."
As Chen Zhirong's words fell, Niu Bang and others were trembling with fear, but they all felt lucky. After bowing to Chen Zhirong and thanking them, they all left in a hurry.
After the men left, Chen Zhirong picked up the "Yangzhou Travel Notes" again and began to read it carefully.
Emperor Deqing is about to tour the south. Not only Zhao Junchen will accompany him, but Chen You, the Duke of Jing, will also take Chen Zhirong with him. For Chen Zhirong, this southern tour is a great opportunity for her to deepen her relationship with Zhao Junchen, and the landscape is picturesque
The beautiful scenery of Jiangnan can create countless topics for her and Zhao Junchen.
However, before that, Chen Zhirong still needed to plan ahead, be prepared, and store some relevant knowledge and anecdotes in her mind, so she had read a lot of travel notes and articles about various places in Jiangnan these days.
Because Yangzhou is Zhao Junchen's hometown, Chen Zhirong also pays more attention to it. She has read more than 20 articles about Yangzhou.
It has to be said that although Chen Zhirong went to great lengths to plot against Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning many times in order to marry Zhao Junchen, in order to please Zhao Junchen, Chen Zhirong's dedication and hard work were far beyond what Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning could compare with
.
However, while reading "Yangzhou Travels" carefully, Chen Zhirong was still thinking about another thing.
"Although there were many surprises during this period, Cui Qianxue was eliminated in the end. So, now there is only one Su Xiuning left..."
…………
There are many coincidences in the world. At the same time that Chen Zhirong was reading "Travel Notes to Yangzhou", Zhao Junchen was also reading the same book in the study.
Like Chen Zhirong, Zhao Junchen saw the southern tour coming soon, and he was also sharpening his gun before the battle, storing all kinds of knowledge and anecdotes about Jiangnan. However, Chen Zhirong did this to please Zhao Junchen, while Zhao Junchen did this to please Emperor Deqing.
Happy.
This cycle is somewhat ironic in a way.
And when Zhao Junchen was halfway through reading, Xu Qingyan suddenly entered the study and reported: "Master, someone from the Cui Mansion has come to pick up Miss Cui. It is Miss Cui's father, Cui Yu, the minister of the Hanlin Academy."
"Oh?" Zhao Junchen raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't let him see Cui Qianxue first. Bring him to the main hall. I want to see him first."
"yes."
