Concubine Fan's illness became more and more serious. When the concubine passed away, the Sixth Miss had to annul the marriage. The Sixth Miss's wish was told to the whole family and widely publicized. Moreover, after Su Ping defeated the Khitan warriors, she seemed to deliberately increase her efforts.
spread the word. As if she was afraid that others would think that she would be impressed by her husband's small achievements.
Now that we are planning to annul the marriage, why do we still need a son-in-law to recite the family law?
Obviously, not everything needs to be said, especially when facing those who are pretending to be confused. - Faced with Tang Mei's punitive request, Su Ping slowly turned his head, his eyes filled with scrutiny and
Warning.
Tang Mei seemed to be hurt by the stern stare from a middle-aged man who had founded a business empire. She mustered up her courage and widened her eyes, trying to intimidate him with her gaze. But she found that her efforts were in vain. Su
The fierceness in Ping's eyes did not decrease but increased.
Miss Six did not lose in the eye contact. Her fair skin suddenly turned blood red, like a little female leopard. Her heart was heaving violently and she was breathing heavily. Her abnormal behavior caused the cat who closed his eyes to concentrate.
It became alert, furrowed, and followed its owner to glare at the intruder, Su Ping.
The little beast felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, not to mention the two maids who were standing respectfully. They were frightened by the atmosphere in the room and stood even more humbly, with their heads lowered and tightly holding the silk handkerchiefs in their hands.
Tang Mei was furious and said in a loud voice: "I found strong medicine from the inner courtyard to prolong the life of Princess Fan. I said that the princess can at least live until her father comes back. In my opinion, it will take a few months at the earliest for my father to come back."
.During this period, you can’t be as ignorant of the rules as you are now!”
Su Ping said: "I am not your Tang family at all, why should I abide by the rules of your Tang family? Since it is acting, you act yours and I act mine. We have nothing to do with each other."
Tang Mei raised her voice and said, "But during this period, you have to eat and live in my house!"
Su Ping said quickly: "Your Tang family charges eight hundred thousand taels from my Su family. Isn't this money enough to offset my expenses these days?"
Tang Mei stood up and angrily said: "When the country is in trouble, everyone is responsible! I, the soldiers of the Shence Army of the Tang family, are fighting the barbarians with their lives. Your family should use some money to support the soldiers, shouldn't you?! Take it out!"
With the money, your family will not have to shed blood and sweat, and they will also receive imperial titles. These are all obtained by our Tang family for your family. Isn't this worth eight hundred thousand taels?!"
"Strong words! Are 'donating money' and 'being robbed' the same thing?" Su Ping stood up and said: "As you said, my family donated, then my family is a meritorious family, but I came to your Tang Dynasty
Have you ever gained respect from the government? In your eyes, I am just a mediocre countryman, but you are a nobleman who is preparing to marry the prince. Before marrying the prince, you thought you were a golden phoenix, aloof and arrogant.
, and I don’t know, you just have a good father. Apart from your father, what else do you have? Do you have any abilities? But I am different. Even if I start from scratch, I can succeed. I am not voluntary and cannot tolerate it.
You underestimate my personality. You are waiting for Concubine Fan to pass away before annuling the marriage. I hope you won’t wait any longer and annul the marriage now. Write me a letter of divorce quickly and arrange a divorce. Let’s break up as soon as possible!”
Amidst Su Ping's sonorous sound, Tang Mei was so angry that she almost exploded and shouted: "You're just a commoner, who do you think you are? How dare you reprimand me! Don't think that you are a person who can use some fists and kicks. Just do as you please."
The inner courtyard is still far behind!"
Su Ping snorted coldly and turned away from looking at her.
"You think you have the ability, then I'll give you these account books and you can check them! I'll see what clues you can find out!"
As she spoke, Tang Mei threw a stack of account books at Su Ping, and the pages rolled and flew in the air, making a clattering sound.
One book after another was thrown over her, and she made a muffled sound from her mouth and nose.
Seeing the hysterical appearance of the eighteen-year-old Tang Mei, with a lot of grievances on her face, Su Ping felt less angry.
It is worth mentioning that the maid Zhu Tao did not explain clearly, so Su Ping did not know that Tang Mei and the prince were engaged when they were seven years old. But just a few months ago, the royal family suddenly changed their tune and said that they did not want the sixth lady Tang Mei.
Mei, but the seventh lady Tang Zhao.
The palms and backs of the hands were full of flesh, so this incident seemed to be no loss to the Tang family. After all, the royal family did not regret the marriage to the Tang family. But to the sixth lady, Tang Mei, this was a great insult.
Someone once asked the queen why she changed people. The queen said cryptically that it was actually the prince's intention.
So why did the prince suddenly give up Tang Mei and choose Tang Zhao? Zhu Tao didn't know these things. And Su Ping didn't know even more. Su Ping thought that there was something going on between Tang Mei and the prince, and that she was already the prince's woman.
.Now that the prince no longer wants her, he will find an unlucky guy to take over.
But this is not the case. As Zhu Tao said, nothing happened between Tang Mei and the prince. They met several times, and the prince found that he could not get any advantage from Tang Mei. This woman had a bad temper and was obsessed with everything.
He protects the Tang family and is determined.
The prince didn't like such a woman, especially he couldn't allow such a woman to be his concubine. He preferred Tang Zhao, who looked very arrogant but was actually a silly and sweet woman. So after seeing Tang Zhao, the prince ran away
I asked the queen to change my engagement.
After the engagement was annulled, the sixth lady became even more irritable. She hated the seventh sister and also hated Gongfei Fan. Because it was Gongfei Fan who brought the seventh sister to see the prince that day.
Moreover, after the engagement was annulled, a situation arose: no one proposed marriage to Miss Six.
All the officials were thinking about a question. The prince became the emperor when he ascended the throne. So who would dare to marry Miss Six who was once the emperor? It is better not to cause trouble for yourself.
When she was engaged to the prince, Tang Mei was looked down upon by others in the family, which developed her arrogant character, and she offended many people because of it.
Perhaps she didn't realize it herself, but a certain look or a certain tone of voice had already offended people. In the final analysis, it was her status as the potential crown princess that made people jealous.
But when she lost this identity, all the old ladies and young ladies in the Tang family changed. Overtly or covertly, they began to ridicule and ridicule. This made Miss Six, who had been strong since childhood, intolerable. So she
I also cherish this opportunity to be Okura Supervisor.
But judging from the fourth brother's attitude, he seriously doubted her ability to work.
Having just returned from Fourth Brother's place, Miss Six was getting angry. As a result, Su Ping questioned her ability just now, which made Miss Six go crazy.
Su Ping felt that he had used too much force to make a big girl go crazy. No one knew how old he was, but he knew it in his heart. He always felt that he was bullying a child.
Because of this, Su Ping showed a calmness beyond his years. He did not throw those account books back to vent his emotions. Instead, he picked up those account books and looked at them. Only then did Su Ping discover that the economy of Qinghua Fang turned out to be
Planned economy.
Although this Qinghuafang is small and well-equipped, there are all the workshops that can be imagined here, and they are all managed by the Tang Family's Economic Governor's Office.
The main task of the three warehouses is to store some strategic reserve materials, such as grain, cloth, metal, wood, etc. Some of the warehouses are occupied by monopoly chambers of commerce, hoarding them and selling them when prices rise. For example, this year, the chaebols formed a partnership
Stock up on food. No wonder food prices in Luoyang are so high this year.
The sixth lady was so angry that she gasped and sat on the couch with her eyes bulging. The two maids were trembling and did not dare to say a word. At this time, they could only hear the sound of the husband-in-law turning the paper. After about a cup of tea, Su Ping took it from his pocket.
He took out a charcoal pencil and scribbled on the account book.
Tang Mei noticed that Su Ping was sketching, and her big eyes squinted: "Hey, don't scribble on the account book. Don't let others think it was me."
Su Ping said without looking up: "The report submitted by your domestic engineer is full of doubts. I won't change it... Forget it, I think I'd better tear it up."
"Why?!"
"On the eighth day of September last year, your family built the gate of Zuixian Tower and bought a total of four five-foot-long pillars."
"I've seen that one, the price is reasonable, and it's clearly written on the inspection at the end that all four large pillars were used. It's just that large rocks were dug underground, and half a foot of three large pillars were cut off to make the height equal."
"Well, that's no problem. But on September 16th, your family will buy wood again."
"Is there anything wrong? The Fufeng Teahouse is a relic of the previous dynasty and has been around for nearly two hundred years. The floor on the second floor is worn and thin. If it is not replaced, people will easily fall. And the wood I bought that time was very cheap. I know all this.
"
"So, where did the half a foot of wood that was shaved off the four big pillars go?"
"It's used to repair other places. There are many century-old buildings in Qinghuafang, and many places need to be repaired. I have considered these, and it is also reflected in the ledger. I have calculated it many times, and the length is correct."
Su Ping tapped the small table in front of him with a charcoal pen: "That's the problem. They are playing a word game with you, using length to exchange volume, but these are obviously two completely different concepts. Let me explain
If you think about it, there is definitely something wrong."
Tang Mei squinted her eyes, with a bit of distrust in her eyes: "You calculate it first, and then show it to me."
Not long after, Tang Mei saw a very special calculation method. This was a mathematical method that she had never seen before, as she thought she had received a good education. She felt dizzy after seeing it.
Tang Mei was impatient and wanted things done quickly. She didn't understand how Su Ping calculated it, but she could feel that there was something wrong with it. Instead of going to Tang Kuan, she led a group of thugs to find those workers.
The architect, under coercion and inducement, solved the case. These guys secretly resold the "public" assets. Tang Mei uncovered several principal culprits and sent them to Zongzheng Mansion.
Later, Tang Kuan heard about this. Tang Kuan was overjoyed and said: I just gave some random advice, and my sister has made such progress. She really is a teachable child.
But Tang Kuan still didn't hand over the power of the three warehouses to her, but asked her to investigate again.
