Chapter 1058 He Is My Bribed Insider

out of the room satisfied, he bumped into Qin Qianqian who had snuck out to take a look around.Qin Qianqian, like a thief caught red-handed, plus Zong Yu being a man, scared her into shrinking back an...Chapter 1058: He's My Infiltrator

Yu Lian couldn't believe what she heard, rushing to the front of the two people.

"You should ask your older brother," Fang Jinshu said helplessly.

"Yuan Bao's getting up there in years," Zhong Yu said, a serious expression on his face. "A young man needs to experience more."

Yulian wouldn't accept such an explanation.

"I think Big Bro sent Xiaobao away because he was just in the way."

Her elder brother only had his sister-in-law in his eyes, where was there a son like Yuanbao.

Since he came home, he hadn't had a day of face-to-face conversation with Yuanbao. Both his mother and sister saw this, and initially thought that the eldest brother simply lost his past memories, which is why he was so unfamiliar with Xiao Bao.

Now it seems this isn't a matter of memory at all.

He never really considered Xiao Bao his son.

Yulian was very angry. Fang Jinshu went over and pulled at her sleeve.

"Well, since your older brother has already made up his mind, let it be."

"You absolutely cannot tell mother about this, I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it if she knew."

This point didn't need reminding from my sister-in-law. Even she couldn't bear it when she heard Xiaobao being sent to the military camp, let alone his mother who treated him like her lifeline.

Yu Lian was still very worried, she walked up to Zong Yu's face with an angry look in her eyes.

"Big brother, Xiaobao is still young. You need to be careful when training him, don't overdo it and hurt him."

Zongyu frowned, now finally understanding completely why that boy was raised the way he was.

Growing up surrounded by so much love and attention, he lay in the palms of many hands. Even when he made mistakes, he refused to admit them. Such upbringing was certainly not beneficial for him.

Fang Jinshu didn't say anything more, she just comforted Yu Lian's emotions and let her go back first.

Yu Lian returned with something to say to the two of them. Last time she spoke with her second brother, she mentioned that she would personally ask Yuan Buyu for some interest back from him on behalf of her older brother and sister-in-law.

She already had a plan in her mind, she didn't want to keep it from her sister-in-law.

On hearing such infuriating news, Yu Lian simply decided not to say anything more. After hesitating for a moment, she turned and left.

She found out from Changhe that Yuan Buyu also had multiple private properties in the capital, spanning various industries.

The most profitable ventures were brothels and gambling houses. As the current chief minister, he naturally wouldn't dare to openly operate such establishments under his own name.

Yulian thought to herself, although she didn't want Yuan Buyu's life, she could cut off his financial resources behind his back and make his days uneasy.

Even a prime minister is just an ordinary person, isn't he If someone were to intercept his fortune and all the money flowed into another's pockets, wouldn't he feel pain

She didn't learn any other skills from her sister-in-law, but she was fairly talented at business.

Yulian and Changhe, as usual, rode in a carriage into the city. In the carriage, Changhe was somewhat worried.

"Miss Yu Lian, are you really going to do this"

Yu Lian's eyes were firm, clearly she had already made up her mind and wouldn't change it easily.

"The river, my elder brother and sister-in-law almost died at the hands of Yuan this time. I only cut off a few of his money routes, making him lose some silver, what does that even amount to"

"When his assets have shrunk considerably, let's see if he can still afford to hire an assassin to take care of our family!"

Chang He also thought the same way. A few days ago, when he saw the young mistress lying unconscious and being carried back home by the master, his heart almost stopped. Afterward, he hated that culprit to the bone.

"Chang He, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, when I'm almost done with this, I'll tell Big Brother and Sister-in-law."

"If I told your sister-in-law now, do you think she would let me do this"

The long river shook its head.

Given Mrs. Shao's temperament, she would certainly not allow Miss Yulian to risk her safety for her.

"Okay, I'll help the second young lady."

Yulian nodded with satisfaction, “Good, let’s join hands and give that Yuan Xiang a taste of his own medicine.”

Chang He hummed in response.

He was deeply indebted to his mistress for her kindness. Whether it was to repay her kindness by avenging her or to protect Miss Yulian's safety, Changhe couldn't stand idly by.

Fang Jinshi's trust in Chang He even surpassed her trust in Yu Lian and Zong Bai. Almost everything in Jinxiu Manor, including the family finances, was entrusted to him.

Zhao Yun's duties were limited to managing the household affairs of the female family members. Even when it came to spending money, she had to seek permission from Chang He.

A long, long time later, when Fang Jinxiu saw Yu Lian having dozens of chests of gold and silver carried back, she was utterly shocked.

The little girl who used to be protected behind, the one who only wanted to marry a rich man and become a wealthy wife, actually became a powerful businesswoman without realizing it. Yu Lian's obsession with money and her talent for making money far surpassed Fang Jinxiu's.

At the very least, without the aid of the spring water, she would have been utterly incapable of monopolizing all the gambling dens and brothels in the entire city of Beijing within just a few years, forcing all her competitors to change their line of work.

But she was still unaware at this time, and after Yu Lian left, she sighed as well.

With things at this point, Yuan Bao can only stay at the city defense camp for a while.

If she hadn't casually complained to Zongyu about him not caring for his son, he wouldn't have sent his son to the military camp for training.

Now that her son's affairs are all settled, she can only temporarily put them aside. She only wants to help her son fight for a few more days of rest in front of Ah Yu, so as not to tire him out.

Little did she know, this father's mouth was so tight, not even she could pry it open.

"One day of rest a week is too much The laborers in our estate, who do all the physical work, have two days off a week. I'm not asking you to give Xiao Bao a day off."

Zong Yu was very helpless, “Once you enter the garrison camp, everything has to follow the camp’s routines and regulations. He is the son of a marquis, but that doesn't make an exception.”

Otherwise, what is the point of sending him to camp

Just as the two were arguing over their son's day off, a servant suddenly came to report.

"My Lord and Madam, a man claiming to be the young mistress's guard is requesting an audience outside."

The servant who relayed the message was also at a loss. He recognized all the guards in the manor, but he didn't recognize the strange man outside. He felt strangely familiar, but couldn't place where he had seen him before.

"My bodyguard" Fang Jinshu was also taken aback. What bodyguard

"That man also said, as long as you mention the three words 'Wuyu Pavilion', the young mistress will know his identity."ou think we've gone too far"Fang Jinshi was taken aback. If she said now that Hu Ailan was still acting, would anyone here believe her"Mother, your body hasn't fully recovered yet. Let Yu Lian help yo...
