Chapter 116.2 â The Jiang Family And The Imperial Envoy
He looked absent-minded and even bumped into one of Zheng family servant girlsâŚ. Feng Jingyuan seeing this scene from a distance, showed nothing on his face, but his eyes flashed with a little bit of pride.
Shen Anxin had been thinking about Jiang Zhen heartlessness all day which had already made Zheng Yi dissatisfied. Then after thatâŚ
âMention more to people about young master Shenâs situation today. If he is like this he may lose his footing and fell into the water later.â Feng Jinyuan said to the person next to him.
From the beginning, Feng Jinyuan did not put Shen Anxin in his eyes. Before he was willing to tolerate Shen Anxin just to reassure Zheng Yi.
But he also can not let Shen Anxin live a good lifeâŚ.
Looking at the distant Shen Anxin, Feng Jinyuan coldly snorted disdainfully.
Before in the capital, Shen Anxin was not able to stand even a bit of gossip so at this time he might not even want to liveâŚ.
Feng Jing origin thought he knew Shen Anxin very well and thought that Shen Anxin might try to kill himself but did not expect that he really thought wrong.
Shen Anxin really cared about chastity, very, very much.
Although he was raised as a man, but his motherâs words and teaching always let him think of himself as a ger. After being violated he felt like the sky was falling at him.
At first, when he found that the sky was falling, he wanted Jiang Zhen comfort but after Jiang Zhen ignored him his thought completely changed.
He was not doing well so he wanted everyone to have a bad life.
Feng Jingyuan brought people to the south of the Yangtze River this time with him, so did Shen Anxin. Because he was doing business with Zheng Yi, he has resumed a familiar relationship with many of his fatherâs old friends.
As a result, he knew one thing.
Famous official Zhou from the capital was coming to the south of the Yangtze River.
Shen Anxin, who lived in the capital since childhood, knew official Zhou very well. He also knew that official Zhou was the most cynical and hated the officials of the Empress Dowager and he had a problem with the Zheng family for a long time.
Before Zheng Yiâs second uncle, official Zheng presented the cards for gambling, which made him extremely angry so official Zhou mercilessly wanted to get back at Zheng.
Of course, because the Empress Dowager hated him very much he not only did not participate in the official Zheng presentation which also made Empress Dowager very sympathetic to Lord Zheng, and privately subsidized him.
âLord Zhou âŚâŚâ Shen Anxin muttered, then looked to the people around him and asked them to inquire when that Lord Zhou had arrived.
âYoung master, what are you inquiring about him for?â Shen Anxin little servant asked in confusion.
âWhy are you asking so many questions? Just ask around.â Shen Anxin said.
There was no expression on Shen Anxin face, seeing him behave like this the little boy servant did not dare to ask any more question.
Shen Anxin sent the young boy away and lay down and slept until the next day when it has already become very bright outside. By this time, the boy had already found out the news: âthat Lord Zhou has already come to the south of the Yangtze River. He is now in Wanhe County. Itâs about two days away from here.â
âAre you sure?â Shen Anxin asked.
âYoung master, I heard it from a servant of the Zheng family. I heard that young master Zheng had been paying close attention to him and asked people to keep an eye on him.â The young man said.
âOh âŚâŚâ Shen Anxin nodded, took out a pen and paper and wrote down a letter, then handed it to another servant: âTake this letter to Official Zhou and give it to him⌠.When you go out if the Zheng family asks, donât say youâre going to official Zhou just say you just want to send it to capitalâŚ. Be careful on the way too, donât let anyone follow you.â
âYes, young master.â The man answered, took the letter and left.
Between Shen Anxin and Feng Jinyuan, Zheng Yi was at ease with the former, thinking that although Shen Anxin lacked the means and experience, he was at least not a bad person so in contrast, he was warier of Feng Jinyuan.
If Feng Jinyuan suddenly let his men leave, Zheng Yi would definitely send people to keep an eye on them a little but when Shen Anxin send a person away he did not care.
However, he more or less thought that Shen Anxin⌠was a bit problematic.
He was looking forward to Shen Anxin development so he cooperated with Shen Anxin but as a result⌠after Shen Anxin come to the south of Yangze river he did not seem to do any business well⌠Zheng Yi suddenly thought about Shen Anxin but then let it go. Instead, he thought it was about to be Jiang Zhenâs mother in law birthday.
Jiang Zhen attaches great importance to Zhao Jinge as well as Zhao Liu and Zhao Fugui. This time for Zhao Liu birthday, of course, he will go over and send a good gift.
Zheng Yi used to give gifts to his elders, all of which were calligraphy, painting, jade, and so on, but then he thought that Zhao Liu might not able to appreciate these things.
âHave someone use pure gold to create a Guanyin (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guanyin).â Zheng Yi said to his men.
Since the Qingfeng building in Fucheng would not be opened for a while, Jiang Zhen carefully prepared fro Zhou Liu birthday banquet making Hexi village even livelier than before.
Jiang Zhen Jinzhen escort agency brought great changes to Hexi village.
Many people from Hexi village found jobs at the docks so that the people of Hexi village could have better live, because of this they were more and more grateful to Jiang Zhen.
Since they were grateful to Jiang Zhen, they also were naturally less friendly to the Jiang family.
âOld lady Jiang, Zhao Liu life is so good now, but it is a pity that you drove Jiang Zhen away âŚâŚâ
âYes, you have driven a golden Bodhisattva out!â
âWell, your family is nowâŚ.. if Jiang Zhen was still around would your life still be so hard?
The people of Hexi village said it to old lady Jiang.
Old lady Jiang used to be very, very angry when she heard such remarks, but this time, she lowered her head and then quickly returned home.
After she got home, old lady Jiang immediately looked at Jiang Chengxiang: âChengxiang, what you say is true? Is there really a noble gentleman who is willing to help us meet the imperial envoy and complain?â
âMother, itâs true!â Jiang Chengxiang said:âThat noble gentleman is kind-hearted and will help us.â
âButâŚ. To officially complain.â Old lady Jiang was a little frightened at the thought of going back to the Yamen to complain, only to be rejected at the door.
It was said that all officials protected each other, was it possible that the imperial envoy would also be on Jiang Zhen side?
Jiang Zhen has a lot of money, so it would not be difficult for him to buy an imperial envoy, wasnât it?
âMother, I heard that this imperial envoy is very jealous of evil and like revenge! This gentleman said that he would help us! â Jiang Chengxiang said.
Jiang Chengxiang courage had long been frightened out by Jiang Zhen. When that man put forward such a request, he did not dare to go for fear that Jiang Zhen would know and he would eventually lose his life.
But the dignitary advised him again and again, telling him that this imperial envoy hated the Zheng family very much so he still agreed.
Jiang Zhen was such unfilial to his parents, so they can sue him for a crime of unfilial piety!
Once upon a time, the Jiang family had the idea of suing Jiang Zhen, but it did not succeed but now they had this idea again.
As long as they can sue Jiang Zhen and get his money, in the future their family will be allowed to eat delicious food and drink spicy food.
Nowadays, most of the people in Hexi Village were on Jiang Zhen side and even some relatives of the Jiang family no longer paid attention to them. It could be said that in this village Jiang Zhen eyes were everywhere.
Worried about being seen by these people, the Jiang family packed up their things and went to the county town at night.
When they were in the countryside Jiang Chengxiang and Jiang Chengwen seemed to be at odds with each other, but now that they have a common enemy, they got along a lot better.
When the whole family once again started to act affectionate, they went to the county town.
The Jiang family was having a very bad time these days. Because no one has time to wash clothes, all of them were wearing smelly and dirty rags.
Shen Anxin had never been in close contact with such people before so as soon as he saw them he could not help feeling disgusted. But what he hated even more were faces that bore some resemblance to Jiang Zhen.
Shen Anxin also knew that what these people said was not necessarily true, but he was still eager to teach Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge a lesson.
At this time, if he doesnât do something, he might go crazy.
Now all kinds of images flickered in his mind, Jiang Zheng and Zhao Jinge regretting this, Jiang Zhen having everything taken away from him and he even imagined that he would die together with Jiang Zhen.
In any case, he did not want to see Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge acting sweet again. When they were together, they were simply poking him in the heart with a knife.
âYoung master Shen, this is an imperial envoy. We do not dare to stop him, if we try to stop him he might attack us and we will lose our lives!â Chengwen said.
âYes, master Shen, there are old and small ones in our familyâŚâ Jiang Chengxiang also said.
Shen Anxin frowned at the two men, but at first he could not react but then they started to talk more and more. But then he also realized that they actually just wanted money.
He became more and more disgusted, but when he saw the ragged clothes of these people, he thought it was normalâŚ. He threw out ten silver: âTake it first, and tomorrow I will ask someone to bring you 200 silver.â
Jiang Chengxiang hurriedly thanked him.
At this time, Jiang Chengxiang also saw that this young master Shen, who had a grudge against Jiang Zhen, wanted to use them to deal with Jiang Zhen.
As long as it can make Jiang Zhen miserable, even if he was taken advantage of, so what?
This young master Shen was from capital and he may really have a way to help them bring down Jiang Zhen!
Seeing Jiang Chengxiang like this, Shen Anxin started to hate him even more. He got up and said: âYou can buy food with this money but you canât buy clothes or change your clothes!â
Jiang Chengxiang nodded and answered quickly.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. But on the other hand, the imperial minister threw a letter on the table: âHow outrageous! In this world, there are still such unfaithful and unfilial people!â
âIt also in Hecheng country where Zheng family can cover the sky with one hand so there is no way for this people to ask for help!â
The author has something to say: In yesterdayâs chapter, many people were angry and left negative comments. The explanation is here:
First of all, Shenâs experience has nothing to do with his idea of becoming a mistress. So I hope no one will think he deserved it because of this, and donât say anything about âwhen the mistress has to be ** too muchâ or somehow derived from âjust like the protagonist has to be **â, this two things have nothing to do with each other. Like the protagonist also from the beginning to the end had nothing to do with him, this two things also have nothing to do with each others.
This matter actually has a foreshadowing, he already have a conflict with Feng Jingyuan before he knew Jiang Zhen and Zhao Jinge. Before he took a fancy to Jiang Zhen, Feng Jingyu is the son of Feng Chenglin who tried to harm him before (Jiang Zhen saved him then.)
It had nothing to do with him from beginning to end, and I foreshadowed it when I wrote about what was happening in capital.
Jiang Zhen also warned him to be careful before.
Second, it has nothing to do with the theory that girls are victimized because they wear less.
This was a deliberate attempt to harm him.
It doesnât even matter whether he is a ger or a woman. Even if he was a men? Would Feng try to hurt him after having a grudge with him?
In the final analysis, it is character that determines his fate.
Feng Jingyuan used this method to harm him because Shen Anxin cared about this. If Shen Anxin didnât care about this, there would be another method used.
