"So, not only did you fail to complete what I explained, but you were captured by the people of the West Factory?"

In the Jingguo Mansion, in a side hall, Chen Zhirong closed the "Yangzhou Travels" in his hand, put it aside, and then turned his head to look at the big men in front of him, a flash of mockery in his eyes, and asked.

The men in front of Chen Zhirong were originally all characters who were roaring in the rivers and lakes and licking blood on the knife edge, but at this time, except for the first person, they all had blue noses and swollen faces, injuries and blood stains all over their bodies, and they looked unbearable.

And the only person who was not injured was none other than Niu Tam, the leader of the men.

This time, Niu Tam took everyone to kidnap Cui Qianxue, but he never wanted to be blocked by the West Factory, but except for Niu Tam who escaped with his skills, the rest of the men were all arrested by the West Factory fans, and then after a severe punishment, they were all released.

At this time, Chen Zhirong's voice was not stern, but as enchanting and moving as always, but all the men, including Niu Ram, couldn't help but tremble, and their faces showed panic.

It's not the first time they've helped Chen Zhirong with things, and they know Chen Zhirong's methods very well, but it's precisely because they understand that they feel scared.

Niu Tam's original majesty and calmness are now even more gone, and he just replied in a proper manner: "Yes, we just controlled Cui Qianxue, and we were blocked by Xichang Fanzi, and the brothers couldn't beat them, and most of them were arrested, but everyone was still tough, and they didn't reveal you, Miss." ”

Chen Zhirong snorted coldly and said, "Didn't disclose it? I think the West Factory didn't ask you about your origin at all, right? Otherwise, how could he just torture you and let you out? Under the severe punishment of the West Factory, all kinds of means are used. I don't think any of you can withstand it. ”

Having said that, Chen Zhirong's face did not show any worry or fear.

From the beginning. Chen Zhirong knew that if she wanted to attack Cui Qianxue. Zhao Junchen will definitely stop himself, but Chen Zhirong still did not hesitate to do it, because Chen Zhirong also knows that because of the existence of those "secret agreements", no matter whether he succeeds in the end or not, Zhao Junchen will not really retaliate against himself.

In fact, Zhao Junchen's actions also confirmed Chen Zhirong's conjecture, although the people of the West Factory captured Niu Tam's subordinates. But it was just torture, and there was no questioning, and then it was released lightly, obviously just to "beat the dog to show the owner".

However, after all, it was only a dog that was beaten, and the pain was not on herself, so Chen Zhirong was not afraid.

On the other side, Niu Tam looked up cautiously, but he couldn't see Chen Zhirong's joy and anger. So he asked tentatively: "Miss, it's not that we're incompetent this time, it's just that we didn't guard against the appearance of the West Factory, but we will never ...... next time."

Chen Zhirong smiled softly. Waved his hand and interrupted: "Oh? Next? No, although your operation failed this time, my goal was finally achieved. So there's no need for a second time...... What's more, if there is a West Factory staring at it. I'm afraid that no matter how many opportunities I give you, it won't be of use. ”

Hearing Chen Zhirong say this, Niu Tam couldn't help but be stunned. originally thought that Chen Zhirong would be in a big rage this time, but Chen Zhirong's mood at this time seemed to be good?

…………

In fact, Chen Zhirong just got the news that Cui Mian had kicked Cui Yu and Cui Qianxue's father and daughter out of the house.

In Chen Zhirong's eyes, Zhao Junchen is the same kind of person as himself - not only ambitious, contemptuous of secular rules and vision, but only interests in his eyes, and unscrupulous means to achieve his goals - so when Zhao Junchen chooses a wife, he will only pay attention to what benefits this marriage will bring him, and will never let his own preferences and preferences decide.

In a way, Chen Zhirong's opinion of Zhao Junchen is not wrong.

Now, although Cui Qianxue has no relationship with Zhao Junchen because of all kinds of rumors, I am afraid it is difficult to find other in-laws, but because she was expelled from the house, her identity has changed from the granddaughter of Cui Mian, the former cabinet elder and leader of the Qingliu, to the daughter of Cui Yu, the attendant of the Liupin Hanlin Academy!

In this way, for Zhao Junchen, there is no benefit in marrying Cui Qianxue, so even if Zhao Junchen likes Cui Qianxue again, or Cui Qianxue does not marry Zhao Junchen, but because of the difference in identity and interests, it is destined that Zhao Junchen will not marry Cui Qianxue as a regular wife - at most, it is just to marry Cui Qianxue as a concubine.

However, who are Zhao Junchen's concubines and how many there are in total, Chen Zhirong doesn't care, she only has the position of Zhao Junchen's wife in her eyes!

Now, although Chen Zhirong's plan failed to succeed, because of the self-assertion of the fans of the West Factory, Cui Mian was finally forced to drive Cui Qianxue out of the house, and her goal was finally achieved.

Chen Zhirong is a "consequential" person, and since the goal has been achieved, although she is a little dissatisfied with the incompetence of Niu Tam and others, she is in a good mood at this time.

At this time, seeing that Niu Tam and the others dared to answer at will, a look of disdain flashed in Chen Zhirong's eyes - these so-called people in the rivers and lakes are useless after all, and compared with the power of the imperial court, it is even more so, and today's events have also verified this - but thinking that there will be a place for them to be useful in the future, Chen Zhirong did not intend to embarrass them at this time, but just waved his hand and said: "Although you have done a bad job, for the sake of you being planted in the hands of Xichang and suffering a lot during the period, I will not punish you this time, Then each of you shall go to the account office and withdraw thirty taels of silver to recuperate from your wounds, and rest for a while......

Saying that, Chen Zhirong's originally smiling and beautiful face suddenly turned cold, and added: "However, remember, if you mess up your errand next time, I won't be so easy to talk to." ”

As Chen Zhirong's words fell, Niu Tam and the others were frightened, but they also felt lucky, and after saluting Chen Zhirong and thanking them, they all left in a hurry.

After the men left, Chen Zhirong also picked up the "Yangzhou Travelogue" at hand again and began to read it carefully.

For Chen Zhirong, this southern tour is a great opportunity for her to deepen her relationship with Zhao Junchen, and the picturesque scenery of the south of the Yangtze River can create countless topics for her and Zhao Junchen.

It's just that before that, Chen Zhirong still needs to take precautions, be prepared, and store some relevant knowledge and anecdotes in her mind, so she has read a lot of travelogues and articles about various places in Jiangnan these days.

Because Yangzhou is Zhao Junchen's hometown, Chen Zhirong also attaches more importance to it, and she has read more than 20 articles about Yangzhou.

I have to say that although Chen Zhirong did not compromise his means in order to marry Zhao Junchen, he calculated Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning many times, but in order to please Zhao Junchen, Chen Zhirong's intentions and hard work are far from being comparable to Cui Qianxue and Su Xiuning.

However, while reading "Yangzhou Travel" carefully, Chen Zhirong was still thinking about another thing in his heart.

"Although there were many accidents during the period, Cui Qianxue was still out of the game after all, so now there is only one Su Xiuning left......"

…………

There are many coincidences in the world, at the same time that Chen Zhirong was reading "Yangzhou Travel", Zhao Junchen was also reading the same book in the study.

Zhao Junchen, like Chen Zhirong, saw that the southern tour was imminent, and he was also grinding his guns in battle, storing all kinds of knowledge and interesting facts about Jiangnan, but Chen Zhirong did this to please Zhao Junchen, and Zhao Junchen did this to please Emperor Deqing.

This cycle is somewhat ironic in some ways.

And just when Zhao Junchen was halfway through reading, Xu Qingyan suddenly entered the study and reported: "Young master, someone in Cui's mansion has come to pick up Miss Cui, and it is Miss Cui's father who came, and the attendant of the Hanlin Academy talked about Cui Yu." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Junchen raised his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Don't let him see Cui Qianxue first, take him to the main hall, I want to see him first." ”

"Yes."
