Transmigration: The Evil Mother-In-Law Is Actually Innocent! Chapter 1188 - 1188 1188 Feeling Wronged

1188: Chapter 1188: Feeling Wronged 1188: Chapter 1188: Feeling Wronged Gu Ren, “I hope Mr.

Hou can help a lot, please have Mr.

Zhou speak for us, there will definitely be benefits.”

While speaking, he took out a case of silver notes.

Rong Enqing, “….”

He was furious.

The more silver Gu Ren produced, the more it showed how many disgraceful deeds he had committed.

He still rembered the pearl-picking island.

Gu Ren opened the case, “Last ti it was fifty thousand taels, this ti one hundred thousand taels, please ask Mr.

Hou to give this to Mr.

Zhou, and there will be great rewards upon success.”

Rong Enqing gestured with his fingertips, “I will go see Mr.

Zhou tonight.”

Gu Ren breathed a sigh of relief, he didn’t believe that Zhou Shuren was truly incorruptible.

He scoffed internally, the silver was not easy to take.

The only pity was that he now had to stabilize and couldn’t trouble Zhou Shuren, just letting Zhou Shuren keep the silver for a while longer, only waiting for the eventual reckoning.

Gu Ren added, “It’s about Marquis Yao.”

Rong Enqing looked deeply at Gu Ren, “You ntioned Yao Wenqi, are you familiar with him?”

Gu Ren’s heart skipped a beat, he had misspoken.

The Rong and Yao families were enemies, “I just heard quite a bit of news, and Mr.

Hou also has a grudge against Marquis Yao, so I ntioned it.”

Rong Enqing then smiled, “He will get his just deserts.

People who frequently do wrong will ultimately destroy themselves.

Although I don’t know if there are gods three feet above, I believe that specific causes lead to specific effects.

Wouldn’t you agree?”

Gu Ren found the comnt peculiar but suppressed his odd feeling and agreed, “Mr.

Hou is right.”

Many in his family had died at the hands of Yao Wenqi, so they had a grudge too, but now they still needed Yao Wenqi.

So secret lines within the Palace were still in Yao Wenqi’s hands.

Thinking of this, Gu Ren had to admit that the Yao family had deep roots in the Palace, even managing to change Princes.

At Magistrate Shen’s residence, Shen Yile had co to terms with her marriage – to follow her husband like a shadow.

This was the fate of won from noble families, a life of splendor for those lucky, a dark and dismal existence for those not.

She couldn’t compare with those fortunate, but compared to the less lucky, she was doing alright.

Although her husband’s reputation was not good, it was enough that her family survived.

When Zhe Yu returned, he saw his wife sitting under a tree, staring blankly while watching their son, and hearing his son’s tender voice relaxed Zhe Yu, realizing there was still hope and not to despair.

“It rained last night, and the yard is damp.

Don’t sit under the tree; you might catch a cold.”

Shen Yile ca back to her senses, “You’re back.”

Zhe Yu hmd, “I’m back, I have submitted the petition.

From now on, you and our son should stay inside the residence as much as possible to avoid hearing unpleasant remarks.”

Shen Yile responded, “Alright, I’ll listen to you.

We won’t go out anymore.

But you, you still have a family.”

Zhe Yu smiled, “Yes.”

He and Yao Yao were different; Yao Yao had Rong Enqing’s protection.

He had never really paid attention to Rong Enqing, but unexpectedly, Rong Enqing had protected Yao Yao, who now relied on the backing of Lady Bai’s family.

He could not do the sa; he had to personally enter the arena.

This was his only chance, to seize it ant survival for the entire family!

At the Ministry of Revenue, as the governnt office was closing, Zhou Shuren saw a carriage of the Hou Residence as soon as he stepped out.

Rong Enqing stood in front of the carriage, smiling, “I was going to see my great uncle today; let’s go back together.”

Zhou Shuren glanced at his own carriage and then at Rong Enqing’s, stepping towards the carriage of the Hou Residence, “Hmm.”

On the way ho, Zhou Shuren rested with his eyes closed, internally chanting that once he beca the Chief of Staff, he would definitely divide the Ministry into more departnts, definitively spreading out so of the power held by a few hands!

Rong Enqing remained silent, knowing the Ministry of Revenue was busy.

Once ho, Zhou Shuren took Rong Enqing to his study, “Speak, what’s the matter?”

Rong Enqing wanted to laugh, still acting even at ho, he had to go along with it, pushing the case towards him, “Here are one hundred thousand taels, please speak to Rongchuan for .”

Zhou Shuren’s heart was pounding rapidly, the silver had doubled just in one day.

His gaze deeply fixed on Rong Enqing, “You’re so anxious you can’t even wait in line, is there sothing being smuggled on the cargo ship?”

Rong Enqing laughed, “You jest, the Gu family really had no choice.

They run businesses everywhere and have many rchants urging them!”

Zhou Shuren fondled the box, “You haven’t missed out on the benefits, have you?”

Rong Enqing smiled without speaking.

“A little inside information?”

Rong Enqing blinked, playing dumb.

Zhou Shuren pushed the box forward, “I heard about several rchant caravans, take these silver back.”

Rong Enqing was shocked.

This was a possibility.

Zhou, being such a cautious man, really hadn’t embezzled a single piece of silver over the years.

Was this also an imperial order to collect silver?

Rong Enqing was envious.

It was compensation from the Emperor to him, so no matter how much he collected, it was acceptable.

The Emperor did indeed show favoritism towards Mr.

Zhou after having removed the gold accumulated by Rong’s family over the years.

With a grunt from Zhou Shuren, Rong Enqing took back the silver.

“Sir, Gu Ren said that there will be great rewards after the matter is settled.”

Zhou Shuren didn’t believe there would be any rewards after the matter was settled.

Given the Zhang family’s hatred for him, it would be good enough if they didn’t turn against him after using him, let alone give him a great reward!

However, they probably wouldn’t challenge him now.

The throne was their real target, but certainly, there would be no rewards.

Zhou Shuren scoffed, “Rongchuan was raised by this official.”

Rong Enqing, “…Did you set a number?”

Zhou Shuren, “You may go.”

Rong Enqing felt he hadn’t been harsh enough on Gu Ren; not setting a price was really ruthless!

After Rong Enqing had left, Zhou Shuren jumped around in his study, “Silver, silver, it doubled the next day.” He felt he was being petty, almost as if he had never seen the world before.

He was, after all, destined to manage the imperial treasury!

Jingyan, “…”

Those who practiced martial arts had a good hearing; he heard his master’s excited voice!

When Zhou Shuren went to sleep that night, he took out a frad ‘approved’ character, kissed it, and then went to sleep.

Zhulan, “…”

The next day, Zhulan heard about Yao Zheyu’s tactics, the calst yet.

The Zhao family, after yesterday’s analysis, also casually accepted it.

In the capital, so who guessed the situation rely gossiped about it.

For so noble families, Marquis Yao’s sinking ship wasn’t worth focusing on; in fact, noble families were the most pragmatic.

They didn’t care about Yao Zheyu, who had been completely ousted by the circle of the powerful.

Instead, the capital’s citizens, scholars, and other groups were more shocked and talked more.

Zhou Shuren cared even less about these.

When Qiu Yan ntioned it to him, he didn’t spare it a second glance, his mind filled with thoughts of silver and more silver.

Inside the Palace, Prince Qi stood in the study, eyes wide as he looked at himself, yes, himself.

There was a figure opposite him who looked exactly like him, except for the different attire.

Prince Qi was startled, “What?”

The Emperor said, “He will take your place in the mansion, and you go help Rongchuan.”

Prince Qi was confused for a mont, “My son goes to Pinggang?”

The Emperor looked at him as if he was foolish.

Prince Qi was embarrassed.

The Emperor seed to despise him more and more, and he felt aggrieved.

The Emperor hardly said anything, and he knew too little, “Emperor, the Rongchuan in Pinggang is a fake then, where is Rongchuan?”
