Zhao Da stopped talking and didn't reply.
He is not stupid enough and he knows that some things should not be said carelessly.
The daughter of the Marquis gave them money and asked them to go to the Capital to ruin Jiang Ning's reputation. They couldn't talk about it, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get the money.
Zhao Da's face turned pale and he said, "You don't have to worry about this! You are enjoying the happiness here, and I'm here to ask for some money. Stop talking nonsense, give me a thousand taels, and I will help you keep the secret, otherwise..."
Zhao Da sneered, full of threats.
Jiang Ning looked at him calmly, her expression unperturbed.
Zhao Da was a little surprised in his heart. Why is this girl not afraid at all?
The dignified daughter of a noble family actually grew up in the countryside. She didn't even know a single Chinese character. It is enough to make people laugh.
She finally flew up a branch and turned into a phoenix. She probably didn't want to be ridiculed to the point where she couldn't even lift her head.
Zhao Da looked at the calm expression of the person in front of him and there was no response for a long time, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
A good minute passed.
Jiang Ning said, "Chunlan, go get the silver."
When Zhao Da heard this, his eyes lit up and his face was full of greed.
Sure enough, hehe, how could this girl not be afraid?
One thousand taels... He will have one thousand taels soon. He has never even dreamed of having so much money!
Zhao Da felt dizzy and his heart was burning.
"Miss..." Chunlan opened her eyes wide. How could the lady give a thousand taels to such a person?
Chunlan was furious and just about to say something, she saw Jiang Ning's secret gesture from the corner of her eye.
She realized something and nodded, "I'll go right now!"
Chunlan went to get the silver.
Zhao Da stood outside the door and glanced around the back door of the Marquis Mansion. It was indeed a wealthy family in the capital, and the back door was so grand.
He secretly wondered if there was going to be less money? One thousand taels is not something that a daughter of the Marquis family can easily take out.
After a while, Chunlan returned.
Zhao Da's eyes were fixed on the money bag in Chunlan's hand.
Before Chunlan could give it to him, he took a step forward, took the money bag, and couldn't wait to open it to take a look.
There was some broken silver in the bag. I weighed it and was immediately disappointed.
Zhao Da's eyes widened, "Why are there so few?"
What he wants is one thousand taels!
"What are you playing? Do you want to use this money to send me away?" Zhao Da was furious.
Jiang Ning glanced at him coldly, "Do you think Thousand taels is a name of a dog, and you can easily take it out if you want? Although I am the daughter of the Marquis, I don't have that much silver."
"No way! You're farting!" Zhao Da snorted coldly.
"Why should I lie to you for?" Jiang Ning looked at him calmly, her expression seemed genuine.
"You're lying! Obviously Jiang..." The words were about to come out. Zhao Da hurriedly shut up and almost bit his tongue. He almost told Miss Jiang's story.
Miss Jiang casually gave them one hundred taels and asked them to enter the Capital.
When they follow the instructions and ruin Jiang Ning's reputation, they will be given another thousand taels.
Jiang Ning narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard Zhao Da's words.
What Zhao Da just said...
She suddenly understood, and now everything about why the Zhao family came to the Capital was clear.
It's Jiang Mengyue.
She originally thought that Jiang Mengyue would be peaceful for a few days, but she didn't expect that Jiang Mengyue was secretly planning something big. Jiang Mengyue approached the Zhao family. The reason didn't need to be thought about, it was just to ruin her reputation.
Exposing the fact that she grew up in the countryside will make it difficult for her to hold her head high in the capital.
Heh heh.
Jiang Ning was not too surprised. In her previous life, she had seen Jiang Mengyue's dirty tricks under the white lotus appearance, so she was not surprised by any of her tricks.
Zhao Da's face turned red from holding back, and he snorted coldly, "Don't even think about using this little money to send me away! If you don't give me a thousand taels, don't try to block my mouth!"
"If you don't want your things to go out, just give me a thousand taels!"
He looked like he was risking his life.
Jiang Ning lowered her eyes, thought for a while, and said calmly, "I don't have that much money now. Give me some time and I will prepare a thousand taels."
When Zhao Da heard this, the matter was settled.
"Okay, then I'll give you three days to prepare the money quickly!"
"Okay." Jiang Ning agreed, "I will prepare the money, but you should not come to the Marquis Mansion again during this period."
Zhao Da chuckled twice. This girl was indeed afraid, afraid that he would come to the Marquis Mansion to ruin her reputation.
He shook the money bag in his hand and said, "Don't worry, how can I trouble my sister? As long as you give money, I can talk about anything good... If my sister can prosper, I, as a brother, will also be happy."
Jiang Ning said nothing.
Zhao Da did not ask for trouble, turned around and left, swaggering as he left.
Jiang Ning turned around and returned to the Marquis Mansion.
Chunlan looked worried, "Miss, how can you agree to give money to that kind of person?"
Chunlan couldn't figure out why that man claimed to be the young lady's brother and threatened to ask for a thousand taels of silver. However, no matter what, that disgusting face made him sick to look at.
Jiang Ning's eyes were slightly cold and she said, "Let Yu Er come over and see me."
"Yes." Chunlan responded and immediately went to find Yu Er.
Yu Er was still nibbling on the big cake. He had just taken two bites when he saw the maid next to Miss Jiang.
Why do you always come to him while he was eating?
He could only accept his fate and go to see Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning ordered, "Look for a man named Zhao Da in the inn and keep an eye on him. I will send you a message about what I want to do next." After that, he asked Chunlan to give Yu Er some silver.
Yu Er happily took the money and said, "Yes, yes."
Miss Jiang spends generously and orders her servants to do things, and she never treats them badly.
Being able to work with such a master makes him happy even if he can't eat on time!
......
After Jiang Ning finished giving instructions to Yu Er, she went to Lin's courtyard to have dinner with her mother.
As soon as the dishes were served, Jiang Minglan came over.
In recent days, they often have meals together.
Madam Lin specially ordered the kitchen to prepare dishes that Jiang Minglan and Jiang Ning liked.
Just as he was about to move his chopsticks, a soft voice sounded, "Mom, third brother..."
Jiang Mengyue walked in with a basket of pastries, looked at the three people, lowered her face, and looked a little at a loss.
Madam Lin saw her and said, "Yue'er, come and sit."
Jiang Mengyue pursed her lips and her eyes were slightly red, "I just want to see my mother, and..." She raised her face and looked at Jiang Minglan, "Third brother, are you feeling better?"
"I made your favorite pastries with my own hands. I remember that chestnut cake is your favorite..."
Jiang Mengyue looked haggard and pitiful.
Jiang Minglan's body froze, and her expression became complicated when she saw her.
Madam Lin greeted, "Yue'er, come and sit down quickly. You probably haven't eaten yet. Aunt Qin, bring over another pair of bowls and chopsticks."
Jiang Mengyue walked over, put down the basket, and took out the chestnut cake she made herself.
Then she hesitated and said, "I...can I sit here?"
She said it carefully, and if someone didn't know better, they would think she was being ignored.
