Chapter 680 Good omen
"Let me think about it again." Shen Jingyu said in a deep voice, still undecided.
Xiao Tingshan vomited a mouthful of blood and felt very choked up.
Although he could send people to keep an eye on the Qin family's actions and snatch the silver back, he didn't want to have a head-on conflict with the Qin family, and he also didn't want others to know that the silver was in his hands.
After all, a man is innocent until he is in possession of a treasure. If others knew that he had such a large sum of money in his hands, who knows what kind of trouble would arise.
Not to mention the distant past, just talking about my father and mother, I don’t know what their plans will be.
Therefore, Xiao Tingshan wanted to resolve this matter peacefully.
But, despite all his nice words, Shen Jingyu still hesitated. It was really...
"Well, think about it again, but this matter should be dealt with sooner rather than later. If we delay any further, we will lose the initiative."
Xiao Tingshan suppressed his unhappiness and pretended to be gentle.
"Yeah." Shen Jingyu nodded, feeling heavy-hearted.
She didn't expect that Concubine Rou and the Third Prince's party would fall so quickly. But when she thought about it, everything that happened seemed to be supposed to be like this.
However, in this case, the only chips she had left were these several million taels of silver...
She had thought about taking the money, leaving in time, finding a safe place, and living a peaceful life.
But since she had been in the vortex of power, how could she not understand that a woman like her would not be able to keep the money even if she could get it.
She does not have that many loyal and powerful men under her command. Even if she uses money to hire bodyguards and martial arts masters, they will still have evil intentions towards her because they see that she is alone and helpless.
Somehow, Shen Jingyu suddenly thought of Shen Shuyi at this time.
If only she could understand medicine and pharmacology like Shen Shuyi, and use the poison pills to threaten the group, perhaps things would be safer.
Or, if you can win over so many experts like her, it would be safer.
At this moment, Shen Jingyu fell silent.
For the first time, she had to admit that Shen Shuyi was better than her.
Even if she didn't want to admit it, this unknown sister had wielded enough power in such a short period of time since returning home that it was enough to make people fear her.
When Xiao Tingshan left, he saw Shen Jingyu sitting at the table in a daze, hiding the murderous intent in her eyes.
He once thought that marrying a smart woman was always a good thing. After all, it was easy to talk to a smart person and it would not do any harm.
But now, he felt that it was better to be a little stupid. At least, he wouldn't be like this, letting her remain indifferent even though he had talked so much.

After Xiao Tingshan left, Shen Jingyu immediately found a doctor to take her pulse.
"How?" Shen Jingyu asked anxiously.
The doctor shook his head and said, "The matter of having children is still a matter of fate. Madam has been injured before, so we should not rush it."
Hearing this, Shen Jingyu's eyes were filled with hatred.
No, she couldn't leave this place. She hadn't yet avenged Zhou Qiwen's humiliation, so how could she just leave like that?
When her face was not ruined, Old Madam Qin spent a lot of money to take care of her body, saying that there was hope for her to recover.
But this hope is probably the biggest joke in life.
These days, she invited Xiao Tingshan to have sex with her several times, but his body was really not in good condition.
I don't know if she was really that sick or if he just had no interest in her.
At this moment, Zhiqi came in hurriedly, his face not looking good: "Miss!"
Zhiqi looked at the doctor, wanting to say something but stopping himself.
After Shen Jingyu sent the doctor away, she looked at her and said, "Go ahead."
"Aunt Lou...Aunt Lou is pregnant." Zhiqi said awkwardly.
"What did you say!" Shen Jingyu slammed the teacup in her hand on the table, stood up, her eyes full of resentment.
"Although the people we planted didn't enter her inner courtyard, after the doctor came today, she saw him leaving with a purse on his shoulders and a happy face. She listened to the young lady's instructions and secretly gave him a lot of silver, and then the doctor let out the secret."
"Lou Yulan, why does she do that?" Shen Jingyu was extremely jealous.
This bitch, she is so lucky!
Shen Jingyu sat back in her chair, feeling upset. If the incident with the Qin family had happened later, she could have used the five million taels of silver to exchange for Lou Yulan's child on the condition of killing the mother and saving the child.
As long as she died, I could take the two children into my arms and raise them, and then I would have someone to rely on.
But unfortunately, something happened to the Qin family at this time, and Lou Yulan would have to wait several months to give birth to the child, so it was too late.
Time really doesn’t wait for me!

At this moment, the Wei family sent people into the palace to ask to see Emperor Qianwu.
Emperor Qianwu had not seen Wei Qingfeng for a long time. Although few people in the Wei family served as officials in the court, Old Man Wei had received the token from the previous emperor, and when there were important matters, he could still enter the palace to meet the emperor.
Emperor Qianwu dismissed his attendants and was somewhat dazed when he saw Wei Qingfeng.
"It's been many years since we last met, and Wei Qing has grown old."
Wei Qingfeng said respectfully: "Your Majesty is still in his prime, and his demeanor remains the same."
Emperor Qianwu smiled and said, "You don't have to say these polite words to me. I am sorry for your Wei family in the matter of the queen. She helped me manage the six palaces, but she died a violent death. I can only give her justice today. I feel guilty."
Wei Qingfeng said, "Your Majesty, don't blame yourself. This is Luan'er's fate. Luan'er has always been serious and conservative. She was young at the time, so I think she did a lot of things that were not thoughtful, which is why she offended others."
Hearing Wei Qingfeng's words, Emperor Qianwu was even more touched.
The Wei family is truly a clean family. Even until now, they have never said a word against Lu Qing.
“Tell me, but what difficulties did the Wei family encounter?”
Emperor Qianwu instinctively thought that the Wei family's request for a meeting at this time must be an attempt to take advantage of his guilt and indebtedness to the empress and to do something about it.
Unexpectedly, Wei Qingfeng's words made him stunned.
"Your Majesty, the court has been in a state of war lately, disasters have continued, and the national treasury is empty. Fortunately, I have been investigating an old case from many years ago and finally found some clues..."
After hearing what Wei Qingfeng said, Emperor Qianwu narrowed his eyes: "You mean, you found out the five million taels of silver that were robbed that year!"
"Yes, Your Majesty, I think that finding this amount of money at this time can be regarded as a blessing from heaven for our Daqian. It is a good omen and can solve our Daqian's urgent needs!"
Emperor Qianwu was very pleased. Although the treasury had been filled a lot by the embezzlement funds confiscated during the floods in the south of the Yangtze River, there were wars in the front and constant disasters in the rear. There were many places to use the money. Who would complain about having too much money?
"Good! Good! I will appoint you as General Lingyun and allocate 5,000 soldiers of the Lingfeng Army to you. You will lead your men to transport this batch of silver back to the national treasury and make sure it is safe!"
"I obey your order!" Wei Qingfeng looked serious and spoke in a deep voice.
