It is said that the news that Concubine Yuan returned to Ning Province to marry her again began to affect the situation in the entire capital.

Especially the people in Rongguo Mansion have quite complicated mentality.

In order to build the Grand View Garden, they spent a huge amount of money, but they didn't get a single copper penny.

Not only that, the official titles of Rong Guofu and others were not promoted.

In other words, everything that was spent on preparing for Concubine Yuan suffered a huge loss.

Even if it is a luxurious family like Rongguo Mansion, I am afraid that my heart will feel painful.

At that time, someone said: "Mother Yuan Fei, if you come here once or twice, I'm afraid if you come here a few more times, our family will be exhausted."

Everyone's private complaints were also learned by Zhao Ning from the maids one after another, and he muttered: "That's true. It was a good thing for Concubine Yuan to return to her parents' home to visit her relatives, but now the emperor

It’s just a false name, not a substantial benefit. It’s not a good thing after repeated attempts.”

For the sake of the royal family’s face, don’t offend the emperor.

The Rongguo Mansion is still inspecting the Grand View Garden project, filling in some places and renovating some things, so it can be considered a fool's errand and no longer thinking about some extravagant and wasteful ideas.

The more people in a big family, the more people eat. Their respective interests are entangled, but they all focus on the money in the family treasury.

The treasury of Rongguo Mansion is a public palace, a place where everyone has to draw money and resources from it.

And their respective private money is their own money.

Similar to the treasury in the imperial court, officials can receive their share of salary from the treasury on time and according to standards, but this is not the same as the money in the treasury. They can withdraw it at will and use it as their own money.

Command.

Their own money is their own money, so these people naturally know how to be frugal.

But the money in the warehouse is not your own money, and you don’t feel bad about spending it.

Therefore, when the Rongguo Mansion was cultivating the Grand View Garden, the children of various families and their servants made a lot of money from it!

There is so much corruption, how can there be more money in the warehouse?

When Zhao Ning dealt with this matter, he also found out everything clearly through the status of the servant in the family, the network of relationships with the maids in the other girls' rooms, and the sisterhood.

It's just that Zhao Ning is the adopted son-in-law, so there is absolutely no need to pay attention to this matter.

After all, they were corrupt. If Zhao Ning uncovered this scar, it would be Zhao Ning's fault.

As for the resources and money of Rongguo Mansion, Zhao Ning doesn't care.

A man born between heaven and earth, possessing unparalleled talents, how can he be a mere freeloader?

Zhao Ning had no choice before, but now Zhao Ning naturally does not need to worry about the resources and money of Rongguo Mansion.

Just as everyone was preparing for Concubine Yuan to return home to visit her relatives, two major events happened in Rongguo Mansion.

The first big thing was that a relative from Rongguo Mansion came. She was Mrs. Wang's sister. Aunt Xue took Xue Baochai and Xue Pan to the capital to seek refuge.

When Zhao Ning learned the news, he was slightly stunned for a moment before asking: "This is a coincidence. Everything that should come and shouldn't come has come."

After listening to Zhao Ning's words, Li Yingchun also smiled and said: "Who says it's not the case! Aunt, it must be a good thing to come here this time. It just happened to happen."

Taohua, who was standing next to her, also smiled: "That's a good thing. I heard that the girl in my aunt's family is a beautiful person, even more beautiful than peonies."

The servant pouted: "However, the young master of the Xue family is a ridiculous character. I heard that he killed someone in Jinling Mansion, so he had no choice but to come to join our family."

"Who to kill? You can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. If my aunt and the others listen to it, why don't they bring trouble to you?" Li Yingchun's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he hurriedly scolded his maid Shi Shudao.

Zhao Ning also took a cautious look at the servant who looked aggrieved after being scolded by Li Yingchun, and asked: "Where did you get the news?"

"This is what Jin Chuan'er, the maid in the master and his wife's room, told me. She is my sister, so naturally she will not lie to me." The servant said aggrievedly.

"What? Is such a thing really possible?" Li Yingchun was quite surprised.

To come here to escape after killing someone is disgraceful.

But Li Yingchun calmed down immediately and continued: "Killing people is nothing. It's not like our family has never encountered such things. There are many more cruel things in the world than this.

, but there is no shortage of such things."

As a big cultivating family, Li Yingchun has seen blood, so he doesn't care much about this matter.

Even Mrs. Wang and others are indifferent to this matter.

Anyway, the person he killed was not him, so why should he hurt the relationship between the Xue family and Rong Guofu because of this incident?

After all, the Xue family is not a small family. It snows heavily in good years, and pearls are like earth and gold are like iron.

The Xue family is very capable in business, which is why they are imperial merchants.

Therefore, the Xue family also had a lot of cultivation resources and worldly wealth.

Rongguo Mansion needs the wealth and cultivation resources of the Xue family.

No one dares to say that they have many resources.

Exchanging favors, treating guests to meals, building a network of relationships, etc., is there anything that doesn’t require money and resources?

Without these things, who will listen to your words?

Even the army needs to be paid on time. Otherwise, the morale of the army will be weakened and the army may rebel.

Therefore, the wealth of the Xue family is very important to the Rongguo Mansion.

Nothing can be done without the Xue family providing money, resources, and efforts to help Rongguo Mansion gain a foothold within the imperial court.

As businessmen, the Xue family was the last generation of scholars, farmers, and merchants, so they naturally needed the backing of the Rongguo Mansion in order to be able to better run their business and obtain resources.

Without this layer of skin and connections, the current Xue family alone would not be able to maintain their identity and status, let alone their current wealth.

After all, it is difficult for a businessman family to say how powerful their cultivation is. Even if they hire martial arts masters to look after their homes and homes, they still need to be careful and dare not really trust the loyalty of these people.

Most of these martial arts masters have second thoughts, are unruly, and are accustomed to being unrestrained.

Once you feel unhappy, it is not uncommon for you to commit murder and arson.

In addition, Xue Pan is not good at cultivation, and his imperial examination and civil administration are in a mess. He even knows nothing about the Xue family's basic business operations. He is a pure playboy and a rich fool.
