My restaurant connects to the demon realm, and I've become incredibly wealthy!

Chapter 164 The Initial Situation

Gu Rong's marriage into the Marquis's mansion was not for love at all.

Gu Rong is a very realistic woman. Because of her poor background, she is jealous of women from good backgrounds.

When she ran out of money, she tried every possible way to get it.

Before she was even recognized by the Gu family, she had already used her body to make money.

The men she had met in the past were all after her body, and none of them were wealthy.

After meeting Sheng Jian and learning his identity, she decided to capture this man.

Neither of them were good people; they were birds of a feather, and when they discussed things, they would come up with bad ideas.

Gu Rong married into the Marquis's mansion, and besides cooperating with Sheng Jian, she also wanted to get her hands on the mansion's money.

Upon entering, she discovered that the Marquis's mansion was just an empty shell, so she suggested that Sheng Jian marry her mother.

Xu Yuan was a well-bred young lady, beautiful, and doted on by her entire family.

Gu Rong was jealous of her and wanted to make her suffer.

A well-bred young lady like Xu Yuan wouldn't be interested in Sheng Jian. It was they who plotted to make Xu Yuan fall into the water, and Sheng Jian rescued her.

'It was only after physical intimacy that she had no choice but to marry Sheng Jian.'

It's a really melodramatic plot.

It was precisely this kind of scum who caused her mother's untimely death.

Gu Rong's face turned pale. "You, who exactly are you? How do you know everything?"

She did those things very secretly, and Sheng Jian didn't even know. How would she know?

Shengshi investigated her for a long time but couldn't find anything.

Bai Hu Yaoyao stood up and smiled, "Of course I am my mother's daughter, Bai Hu Yaoyao. You did a very secretive job. No one would have guessed that the man you were raising was a monk at Huguo Temple, right?"

“Gu Rong, if Sheng Jian finds out about these things, I won’t even need to do anything to you; you’ll be digging your own grave.”

The eldest brother didn't find out about these things; it was their second uncle, Shengzhan, who gave her the information.

Sheng Zhan is now the fearsome commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the Mantuo Empire, and he has a very powerful intelligence department under his command.

This department has people in every country, so it's easy for him to find out information about anyone he wants.

They can find out your ancestors for eighteen generations.

Gu Rong was terrified and begged her, "Please, don't tell the Marquis! He'll kill me! Your mother's death has nothing to do with me! It was the Marquis and the Old Madam's scheme, I really didn't kill her!"

“It was your mother who found out about my affair with the Marquis and insisted on a divorce. The Marquis didn’t want a divorce and wanted to keep your mother’s dowry for himself, which is why he killed her. I just had someone secretly drug her a few times.”

Gu Rong couldn't care about anything else now; all she wanted to do was leave the Marquis's residence as soon as possible.

She could tell that of all the people in the entire Marquis's mansion, only this woman who had just been found could help her.

"Why did you drug my mother?" Bai Hu Yaoyao grabbed her neck.

What kind of den of wolves did her mother end up in?
This mansion is so filthy!
"You, let go!" Gu Rong struggled.

The white fox Yaoyao relaxed slightly. "Tell me, why did you drug my mother? What kind of drug did you use?"

She had a feeling that there was something else going on.

"If you help me leave the Marquis's mansion, I will tell you that there are many things about the Marquis's mansion that you do not know."

She only came to the Marquis's mansion to make money and for the sake of becoming the Marquis's wife; she never intended to lose her life here.

Over the years, she has never dared to make her relationship with Sheng Jian public. Even without the title of the Marquis's wife, she has lived a good life.

The Marquis's mansion has never had a female head of household, so even though she has no official title, she still holds the power of the matriarch.

Now the old lady knows that she has emptied the Marquis's mansion, and staying any longer will only lead to her death.

She had to leave quickly, otherwise, if they came back and found the money was gone, she would be truly doomed.

"If I want to know what happened, I'll find out for myself. As for you, just enjoy the consequences of your own actions."

The white fox Yaoyao released her.

Just then, she saw Sheng Jian approaching menacingly.

She can just wait and see.

Sheng Jian burst in like a gust of wind, slapping Gu Rong hard across the face. "You shameless woman! You actually took everything from the Marquis's mansion to the Gu mansion?"

"You deserve to die! You've emptied the Marquis's mansion, you vile woman!"

Sheng Jian really went all out, beating Gu Rong until she screamed and howled like a banshee.

The old lady was helped in, pointing angrily at Gu Rong, "Beat her! Beat her to death! She actually used the Marquis's property to subsidize the Gu family, beat her to death!"

She almost died in the warehouse today.

That's a whole warehouse full of treasures and gold!
Even a noble family could squander their wealth for a lifetime, but in just over a decade, it was all gone.

All of it was taken to the Gu family by that wretched woman. No wonder the Gu family, which has fallen on hard times, has lived a more luxurious life than the Marquis's family all these years!
It turned out that there was a traitor within their household.

The old lady didn't care about anything else and went up to grab Gu Rong's hair and started hitting her.

The three people on the ground were fighting.

The white fox Yaoyao shuffled over to Jiang Yiyi's side. "This Marquis's mansion is so lewd, are you sure you still want to stay?"

She's only been back a few days, and they've already started fighting amongst themselves.

Jiang Yiyi looked at Gu Rong on the ground with hatred in her eyes, "Of course! I want to see the Marquis's mansion destroyed, preferably on the day of the wedding when the entire mansion is wiped out."

Her wedding is in three days, and she had planned to slowly work things out with them after the wedding.

Now that Miss is involved, it seems she won't have to wait that long to kill all these people from the Marquis's mansion.

"Alright then! There's nothing more for me to do here. I should leave now that I've finished up!"

The white fox Yaoyao quietly left Fushou Garden.

When watching a spectacle, one should remain calm and composed.

All three people in the room were injured and were fighting fiercely.

"What qualifications do you have to say that to me!"

Gu Rong was so badly beaten that she pushed the old lady away with all her might.

Bang!
The old lady was pushed down, and her head hit the table, leaving a large hole.

"Mother! Quickly, get a doctor!" Sheng Jian panicked.

Fushou Garden was in complete chaos, while the white fox Yaoyao leisurely returned to her own courtyard.

Looking at the peach tree in the yard, I imagined my mother standing under it, looking melancholy.

“Mother, wait a few more days, and I will make those people apologize to you.”

The fact that Sheng Jian and the others have such volatile tempers is, of course, her doing.

For the past few days, she has been sprinkling powder on Sheng Jian and the others, the powder being meant to make them irritable and easily angered.

When people lose their minds, they are capable of anything.

She just lets them fight like dogs.

The next day.

Shengshi told her that the old lady had suffered a stroke from the impact, leaving her unable to speak and incontinent.

Gu Rong was locked in a dark underground room by Sheng Jian, who seemed to have tortured her all night.

"Tsk tsk, this man is really heartless." Bai Hu Yaoyao could only sigh after hearing this.

Sheng Shi took out a stack of letters. "These were given to me by my second uncle. They are evidence of Sheng Jian selling official positions and colluding with the Tianlang Kingdom. My grandfather and uncle died on the battlefield, and he also played a part in it."

"Little sister, I will hand over this evidence directly to the Crown Prince."

He always believed that his maternal grandfather and uncle died on the battlefield because the emperor was afraid of them and the court deliberately delayed the supply of provisions.

In retrospect, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, Sheng Jian's involvement was also part of the scheme.

"Brother, you must secretly deliver this evidence to the Crown Prince. You cannot deliver it personally. The Crown Prince is no longer the same Crown Prince he once was."

The fundamental things cannot be changed.

The current emperor is incompetent, and the crown prince is no exception.

I've had some family matters to attend to these past few days, so updates have been irregular. Sorry.
