It's good to exchange marriages. My sister eats coarse food while I wear gold and silver.

Chapter 311 Should I ask for it back?

"The Xie family's gang of old men are all thousand-year-old bastards. Once Princess Jinghe takes action against them, they will definitely think that we leaked the secret, and they may even discover our relationship with Princess Jinghe."

"If you find out, then find out. It would be best if you can report it to the emperor." Yuan Buwei snorted and laughed. "You know, their biggest crime is taking the Five Stone Powder that is banned by the court. If you, the emperor, are you more concerned about finding out that Princess Jinghe has had dealings with the Wanning Marquis's Mansion, or that Mrs. Xie took the Five Stone Powder?"

Lu Sui thought for a moment, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Then I will definitely choose the latter. Princess Jinghe's reputation has risen greatly now, and the emperor doesn't need to go to war with her at this juncture. Besides, it was the emperor who decided the marriage between Princess Jinghe and Xie Yunting. Regarding the Xie family issue, the emperor may need Princess Jinghe to lead the charge."

"Yes, the gods are fighting, and as minions, we should just hide in the back and watch the battle." Yuan Buwei said with a smile, and then asked, "Lu Sui, you really don't have anything to say to me?"

"No."

This time, Lu Sui said firmly: "I will go find Song Rui first."

Yuan Buwei lowered her eyes as she looked at Lu Sui's quickly departing back.

It doesn't matter, she can wait.

Wait until the day when Lu Sui is willing to speak.

There is only half a month left until New Year’s Eve.

The festive atmosphere in the city is becoming more and more intense.

The Jiang family also safely survived the previous period of public opinion and can finally go out without having to hold their tail between their legs.

"Hurry up, hurry up, mother, mother..."

On this day, Jiang Weiyu, wearing new clothes, led a group of people and swaggered into his parents' yard: "Father, mother, come out quickly and see what New Year's goods your son has bought for you."

Minister Jiang and his wife, who were warming themselves by the fire in the house, came out.

Then I saw the yard full of boxes.

"Wei Yu, what is this?" Minister Jiang frowned and looked at his son.

"I bought you New Year's goods." Jiang Weiyu leaned over and opened the boxes one by one. "Food, daily necessities, clothes, as well as gold and silver jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings. Father, you always say that I am uneducated and unskilled. Look at me, your son has only been doing business with Boss Chu for less than half a year, and I have earned so much. Boss Chu even praised me as a rare business genius."

"Did you buy all these with the money you earned?" Mrs. Jiang looked surprised.

"Of course, these are all real money. Even if I borrow my father's face, I can't bring so many things."

But in fact, once Jiang Weiyu had the idea once, he would naturally have it a second time.

Anyway, he only used two of the three chances.

Let’s just get through this New Year first.

"Wei Yu, you are so promising." Mrs. Jiang immediately hugged her son happily, "I said that my son is the best."

"Mother, that's also because you taught me well." Jiang Weiyu chuckled a few times, raised his head and looked around, "Where's my eldest brother?"

"He is in his own yard."

When mentioning his eldest son, Minister Jiang's eyes flashed with displeasure: "Ever since he made the decision on his own and let Yuan Jinse go, I don't want to talk to him anymore. He is not sensible at all."

"Father, this means that my eldest brother is actually a very compassionate person. This is an advantage in normal times, but when it comes to major issues, it is a disadvantage." Jiang Weiyu shook his head and spoke very mercilessly.

"Forget it, let's not talk about him. Madam, tell the kitchen to cook a few more dishes tonight. I want to have a few drinks with Wei Yu."

"it is good."

The moon is rising.

Chu Batian, who was warming himself by the fire with his eyes closed, heard a knock on the door and immediately opened his eyes: "Wei Hao, come in, the door is not locked."

After a while.

Jiang Weihao walked in. He was still settling accounts when he received the message.

"Hello, Boss Chu. What do you want to talk to me about?"

"Weihao, do you know why I asked you to go to the accounting office instead of letting you follow your second brother to do the same thing?" Chu Batian asked, holding his head and sighing.

Jiang Weihao thought for a moment and said, "It should be because of status. I am a concubine's son and he is a legitimate son."

"No."

Chu Batian shook his head: "You are calm and steady, and he is impetuous."

"what?"

Jiang Weihao raised his head with a puzzled look in his eyes.

The next second, Chu Batian threw him an account book: "Let me see the results of your study in the accounting office during this period of time."

"Yes."

Jiang Weihao picked up the account book, walked to the desk, sat down, and started calculating.

Chu Batian drank tea and waited quietly.

Until half an hour later.

Jiang Weihao took the calculated accounts and walked up to Chu Batian: "Boss Chu, all the details in this account book don't match. I recalculated the expenses based on each expenditure."

"Just tell me how much it is different."

"Not good enough..."

Jiang Haowei paused and said, "Five hundred thousand."

"So much?" Chu Batian took the account with a surprised look on his face and took a quick look. "Tsk tsk, 500,000, it takes at least half a year to earn that much, but your second brother swallowed it all in one night."

"What did you say?" Jiang Weihao's eyes widened. "You said, this account..."

"I originally thought that since you two are brothers, he should go and do business first to gain experience, and you should study in the accounting office and learn how to do accounting. When you have enough experience, I will arrange for you to work alone. But I didn't expect that your second brother not only didn't treat the job I gave him well, but even lied and embezzled so much money from me." Chu Batian shook his head with disappointment, "Your second brother, I am so disappointed."

"No, Boss Chu, what kind of business did he do to embezzle so much money?"

"It doesn't matter what he does. Right now, he has embezzled so much money..." Chu Batian looked at Jiang Weihao, "Weihao, are you willing to help me get this money back?"

"I'm going to ask for it back?"

Jiang Weihao's face turned pale: "He is the second brother. Even if I go, I don't have the position and qualifications..."

"You are the accountant of Yueshangshao. How come you have no position and qualifications? If you agree, I will let Yuanduo go with you. If the accounts don't add up, Yueshangshao won't be able to celebrate the New Year." Chu Batian scratched his head irritably, "I didn't expect that I was taken advantage of by your second brother because of my good intentions."

"I……"

Jiang Weihao knew in his heart that this was an opportunity.

An excellent opportunity to gain Boss Chu's trust and at the same time step on Jiang Weiyu.

Chu Batian raised one eye and looked at Jiang Weihao, who had a conflicted look on his face: "Of course, I won't force you, lest you two brothers turn against each other in the future."

"Boss Chu, I am willing to do it. I am willing to do it." Jiang Weihao agreed directly, "As long as it is something you ask me to do, I am willing to do anything."

"Row."

Chu Batian knew that he would agree, because no one knew it better than him, and no one could refuse. How great it would be to step under one's feet on someone who had bullied him for a long time and watch him beg for a way to live.
