Chapter 131 Wang Xifeng's Atonement

When they arrived outside the courtyard, Jia Lian said with a smile, "My brother has arranged a party. Is Zihou interested?"

Chen Ran knew the content of their gatherings, which was nothing more than eating, drinking and having fun.

Good wine and delicious food, beautiful girls and beautiful boys, just discussing the pros and cons of each other.

"There are still some things to deal with in the mansion." Chen Ran waved his hand and refused very straightforwardly.

There was no way, for though he had the good will of the Prime Minister, he preferred a good family to a public carriage.

Jia Lian did not try to persuade him much. Seeing Xue Pan coming out, he immediately invited him to go to Gaole together.

The two of them have similar interests and can be considered to have met a soulmate.

When the two of them left arm in arm, Wang Xifeng, who had been silent the whole time, opened her mouth and told the maids and servants around her, "You all go about yourselves. I want to talk to Master Chen about some serious business."

When everyone left, Wang Xifeng turned around with a cold face and said, "Follow me."

Chen Ran, with a Mosuo chin, smiled and followed.

It was getting late, and the courtyards were gradually going to rest, the lanterns were extinguished and the surroundings were gradually getting darker.

Wang Xifeng led the way with a lantern in hand. She did not go to the corridor leading to the East Palace, but went out of the second gate and walked along the inner courtyard wall to a rockery.

Seeing her stop, Chen Ran said with a smile, "Madam, you brought me here, are you planning to do something wrong?"

Feng Jieer turned around suddenly, her beautiful eyes filled with anger, "Don't you just want this? I'll give it to you today."

"Madam, you are joking." Chen Ran's eyes were clear and he responded seriously, "Maybe some of my jokes in the past went too far, but I never meant it that way. If I have offended you, please forgive me, Madam."

After saying that, he actually turned around and was about to leave.

Wang Xifeng was stunned. Could it be that she was really wrong?
But soon after, when Chen Ran left, he was like a baby staggering step by step, almost moving slightly on the spot.

"Humph!"

Feng Jieer spat and simply stepped forward to grab his sleeve and said, "Fifteen thousand taels, and I'll obey you."

"Impossible." Chen Ran shook his head repeatedly. "Madam, you think too highly of yourself. The most beautiful women in the pawnbrokers are worth no more than a hundred taels. Even the honest ladies in the brothels and the brothels are worth only a few hundred taels."

Wang Xifeng gritted her teeth and asked, "What do you want?"

She couldn't delay any longer. In two days it would be the time to settle the accounts at the mansion. If she didn't return the money to the account as soon as possible, her embezzlement of public funds would be exposed.

When the investigation is carried out, even her lending at high interest might be exposed.

If it really comes to that, she won't be able to survive.

The criticism from the world could drive her to death.

Chen Ran finally turned around and looked down at her. "Madam, is it urgent?"

"Of course it's urgent."

"Madam, do you feel the pain of those people whose families have been broken up by your interest?"

"You" Wang Xifeng's body trembled slightly, and she looked at Chen Ran in disbelief.

How did he know that I was lending money at interest?
Chen Ran didn't waste any words. "The account book for your interest deposit is here with me."

Hearing this, Wang Xifeng's body softened and she almost fell to the ground.

If this thing were sent to the government, she would definitely be convicted and thrown into jail.

The emperor has issued an edict strictly prohibiting the use of interest, and violators will be severely punished.

These things are done secretly and everyone turns a blind eye.

But now that the account books have been taken out, there is nothing to explain.

If the daughter of a wealthy family were to go to jail, her fate would be so miserable that it was beyond words.

Neither the Jia family nor the Wang family would help her. Instead, they would despise her and cut off all ties with her.

"Please~~~" After a while, Wang Xifeng came back to her senses and grabbed Chen Ran's sleeve, begging, "Please let me go~~~"

"Because of the interest you lent, thirteen families died, twenty-one sold their land, and seven fled to other places."

Chen Ran recounted word for word the evil deeds that Wang Xifeng had done, and concluded, "You have harmed so many people, how can I let you go?"

"Please~~~" Wang Xifeng's body softened, and she knelt directly in front of Chen Ran, tears streaming down her face. "Please forgive me."

"You have hurt so many people." Chen Ran raised his hand to support Wang Xifeng's cheek. "I have to let you experience the pain of being forced by interest."

'Hmm~~~'

When a foreign object was inserted, Wang Xifeng subconsciously wanted to shake her head to resist, but her head was held down and she could not move.

"Fifteen thousand taels, I'll lend it to you." Chen Ran exhaled, "Just charge according to your interest rate."

"From now on, you must do whatever you are told to do. If you dare to disobey, you will be punished according to the law and sent to prison."

It was too cold here, so he looked around and soon saw a wooden house in the shade of the trees not far away in the moonlight.

He immediately took a step back, picked up the dazed Wang Xifeng and walked over there.

Pushing the door open, this is where the night watchmen occasionally rest. There is a small bed in the room.

Looking at Wang Xifeng who had her back to him, Chen Ran shouted in a low voice, "Sink your waist!"

"You like investing, don't you? From now on, I will give you enough investment! I will invest several hundred million in you today, and tomorrow you can go to my house to get the banknotes, and then I will discuss investment of several hundred million with you."

Wang Xifeng didn't say anything the whole time. She was in a trance.

She regrets it very much now. If she had known that she would suffer such humiliation today, she would never have done any money-making business!
As the official of Shuntian Prefecture, Chen Ran punished Wang Xifeng with a stick for almost an incense stick of time before the torture ended.

"From now on, don't think too much and live a good life."

The next day, the distraught Wang Xifeng came to the East Palace to look for Chen Ran.

After investing in a business worth hundreds of millions, Chen Ran gave her a silver note of 15,000 taels, plus a loan agreement.

"The Jia family has a lot of good things." Chen Ran looked at Wang Xifeng who was rinsing her mouth with a tea bowl and instructed, "Find a chance to take them out one by one and sell them." When these words came out, Wang Xifeng was shocked and swallowed a mouthful of water. She choked and coughed repeatedly, her face flushed.

He slapped the mountain hard, and it took him a while to recover.

Her eyes were full of anger. "Are you crazy? You actually asked me to steal something?"

"If you have another way to get the money, it's up to you." Chen Ran, leaning against the head of the bed, spread his hands. "Every household that has been harmed by your interest-bearing lending must be compensated and reimbursed. After you compensate them, your debt to me can be written off."

Feng Jieer gritted her teeth and stared at Chen Ran, feeling that this man was simply her nemesis.

"Don't want to?" Chen Ran looked at her calmly. "If you don't want to, then follow me to the government office. This will be considered a solution."

"Either you pay the money or go to jail. It's your choice as to how you want to go in the future."

Feng Jieer had no choice but to lower her eyelids and whispered, "I know."

'Wang Xifeng's quest has been completed, rewards are now being distributed.'

'Note: Get a 20-point deviation bonus.'

Looking at the subtitles floating in front of him, Chen Ran was delighted. This was good news.

Wang Xifeng felt her mouth was dry and was about to go find some tea to rinse her mouth, but she suddenly screamed and leaned over.

Chen Ran shouted from behind, "Sink your waist!"

In the afternoon, Chen Ran had lunch in the yamen.

A bailiff came to report that the constable who had escorted the criminal Jia Zhen and his son to Shamen Island had returned to report.

He immediately called the person over.

"Sir." The dusty constable took out a document with an official seal and handed it over. "This is a document from the Supervisor of Shamen Island. The criminals Jia Zhen and his son accidentally fell into a pit while using the toilet. There is no cure."

After opening the letter and reading it, Chen Ran nodded and said, "Well done."

"It is my honor to be able to serve you."

He took out a stack of fifty-liang silver notes and handed them over, "Go home and buy some delicious food for your wife and children."

"Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir~~~"

The death of Jia Zhen and his son did not cause even the slightest ripple in the capital.

That is, the Rongguo Mansion sent someone to Xuanzhen Temple to inform Jia Jing.

It’s just that Mr. Jia practiced the way of ruthlessness and had long since severed all ties with the worldly world, so he couldn’t even be seen in person.

In the blink of an eye, winter goes and spring comes.

One day, Jia Xichun hurriedly ran to Chen Ran's study and knocked on the door, but she didn't expect the door was not closed tightly, so she rushed in as soon as she knocked on it.

Before he stood up, he heard Qin Keqing's scream.

I looked up and was shocked to see a sea of ​​white.

"You, you in broad daylight"

Jia Xichun was stunned.

"Not like yours." Chen Ran took the blushing Qin Keqing to the bookshelf to change clothes, then turned around and took out some underwear designed by himself and handed them to her. "Keqing is trying on new clothes."

Jia Xichun, with a suspicious look in her pretty eyes, took it and shook it, "What is this? Just a few pieces of cloth can be considered clothes?"

Chen Ran looked at her figure, smiled and shook his head, "You are still young, you can't understand it."

Jia Xichun was confused and didn't know what this meant.

However, Qin Keqing, who was changing clothes behind the bookshelf, couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Go ahead." Putting the things away, Chen Ran sat down on the chair. "What are you so anxious about?"

Jia Xichun remembered something important and said hurriedly, "Master Zheng is beating up Second Brother Bao again, and no one can persuade him, so grandma asked me to ask you to persuade him."

"It's only natural for a father to beat his son." Chen Ran crossed his legs leisurely. "Why should I, an outsider, persuade him?"

It's fun to see the scumbag Jia Baoyu getting beaten.

"It's just that the beating was pretty severe." Jia Xichun wasn't that anxious. "The old ancestor got angry, and Master Zheng ignored him."

"Oh."

Chen Ran finally stood up, stuffed the underwear into his sleeves, said hello to Qin Keqing, and went to Rongguo Mansion with Jia Xichun.

He was not in a hurry at all on the way. Considering the distance between the two sides, the fight would have been over by the time he arrived.

Either Jia Baoyu was beaten to death, or Jia Zheng himself was too tired to continue.

With his hands behind his back, he chatted with Jia Xichun, "Have you been living peacefully recently?"

"Very well." Compared to when she first heard the bad news of the house confiscation, Jia Xichun's mental state is obviously much better now. "I also want to thank Brother Chen. Grandma You told me that if it weren't for Brother Chen's protection, we would have been ruined a long time ago."

Chen Ran believed that doing good deeds should leave a name for himself, so he calmly accepted the credit.

"By the way." Jia Xichun's eyes turned and she asked curiously, "What was sister-in-law wearing before?"

"The underwear that makes money has the effect of shaping the body." Chen Ran, with his hands behind his back, smiled. "The expenses in the mansion have been high recently, so we need to generate income."

The emperor bestowed Ningguo Mansion on him, but the farm of Ningguo Mansion was taken away to become the imperial farm.

Without the income from the farm, the whole family would have to starve to death relying solely on Chen Ran’s salary.

He had made a lot of money from perfume before, but there were more and more obstacles in this business, so Chen Ran planned to find some other ways to make money.

That’s right, you should continue to make money from women, after all, it’s easy to make money.

While chatting and laughing, they had already arrived at the Rongguo Mansion.
