Chapter 61 Engagement

Yang Sanbo took a breath of cold air when he heard it, he came from the palace!

Or someone close to the Crown Princess?

Doesn't it mean that her words can be heard in heaven?

sky!

With such an identity, in this small mountain village, he is simply a god-like existence!

No wonder both his father and Li Zheng were very jealous of and respected her!

Yang Wen couldn't help but said: "Wouldn't it mean that even the Hang County magistrate would sell her some face?"

Li Zheng sighed: "More than just selling face? Magistrate Hang County really wants to provide for her!"

The clan leader snorted coldly and said: "Huh, the special care given to Mrs. Bao is because the Hang County magistrate specially asked me and Li Zheng to go there. She specially told her to take good care of her!"

Yang Sanbo's expression turned very bad. He had just let the Hang County Magistrate's daughter know that they were helping outsiders bully Yang Mu, and now Mrs. Bao actually needed to be supported by the Hang County Magistrate.

Mrs. Bao didn't know why, but she was very partial to Yang Mu.

How good is this?

Yang Wen's hands were shaking a little. He, what had he done?!

He actually hired gangsters to take advantage of Yang Mu. Is he crazy?

Suddenly, he remembered the "confession" and "IOU" he had in Yang Mu's hand, and his heart trembled.

No, you have to get the things back as soon as possible. Otherwise, if the money is not paid when the time comes, Yang Mu will not be able to report the matter directly to the Hang County magistrate?

The patriarch raised his eyes and glanced at Li Zheng, who was frowning, and said thoughtfully: "Since we have offended Lou, we have to find a way to make up for it. You and I have been working together for more than 20 years, so I won't beat around the bush when I say something."

He saw that Li Zheng had no intention of rejecting his words, so he lowered his voice and continued: "I guess you don't want the position of Li Zheng to pass into the hands of others one day."

The corners of Li Zheng's eyes twitched slightly and he remained silent, acquiescing to the team leader's words.

The two of them have the same idea. Since the power is already in their hands, they cannot give it to others.

This is the right and status that they have calculated for most of their lives to obtain. Naturally, it is best for their children and grandchildren to inherit it.

A small position, not much power, but a lot of money and money.

Whether it is weddings and funerals in the village, or helping the county collect taxes, Li Zheng and the clan leader can earn a lot of benefits.

Li Zheng grimaced and said hesitantly: "It seems that Mu Yatou doesn't need us now..."

He thought that he was kind to Mu Yatou on weekdays, such as helping to set up a female household and sealing the house deed.

Of course, Yang Mu would often send some food over to express his gratitude.

However, this harmonious relationship in the past disappeared the moment he decided to help Diao Youde.

The patriarch pondered for a moment and said: "When you set up a female household, you are most afraid of people's gossip. Wasn't there a rumor some time ago that Mu Yatou was making dirty money outside? It seems that the second daughter-in-law of the old Yang family spread the rumor first?"

Li Zheng's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly: "Yes! It's Ding! Let's operate on Ding to please Mu Yatou!"

The clan leader wanted to say that this was not flattering, but he swallowed the words as soon as they reached his lips.

If not to please, what is it? To apologize?

…

While the patriarch's family was having a small meeting, Yang Mu's family was bustling with excitement.

Mrs. Bao waited for the people in the courtyard to disperse, then went to sit under the big locust tree. She came and went without leaving a trace, hiding her merits and fame.

Yang Mu and Hang Qiurong were talking in the east room. Mu Dalang went in to deliver tea and then returned to the west room.

Yang Shitou gnawed on the sweet-scented osmanthus cake sent by Hang Qiurong, his big eyes darting around, curiously looking at the richly dressed elder sister in front of him.

Hang Qiurong looked at the little guy with a smile and asked: "Little brother, sister, there is also walnut cake here, you can try it!"

Yang Shitou understood some things now and was actually shy about meeting strangers. Fortunately, Hang Qiurong was very kind. He boldly took the walnut cake and ran out with a blushing face.

Hang Qiurong said to Yang Mu with a smile on his face: "Your brother is so cute!"

Yang Shitou has gained some weight during this time and is no longer so thin, so he is indeed a very cute little cub.

Yang Mu brought some snacks that Yang Shitou usually ate to greet Hang Qiurong, and talked about what happened that day, "You won't have any trouble when you go back that day, right?"

Hang Qiu was honored and said with schadenfreude: "Miss Yang, you don't know, my concubine was so angry that she dropped the cup when she saw that I came back without any damage!"

She moved the panda's fat head triumphantly and said: "Later, I told dad about this. Dad sent people to the alley and arrested all the bad guys. After interrogation, they found out that it was me. The concubine hired me with money, and when I got home, I used family methods on my concubine."

She leaned close to Yang Mu's ear and whispered: "My concubine was beaten twenty times and was grounded!"

Yang Mu was slightly surprised. If this happened to her, she would definitely retaliate in the same way.

But Hang Qiurong's concubine was just slapped and put in solitary confinement. It was too easy!

You know, destroying someone's innocence is a serious crime even in modern times with developed ideas. How much more in ancient times with conservative ideas?

But Hang Qiurong didn't seem to think that the concubine's punishment was not enough, and he happily changed the subject.

She poked Yang Mu's arm, winked and said, "That person just now, is your husband-in-law?"

Yang Mu's eyes shone and he nodded.

After all, who doesn’t want an eye-catching man as a husband?

Hang Qiurong said with envy: "It's great for you, you have found such a handsome husband. But I still don't know what my future husband will be like!"

Yang Mu also became curious and asked, "Last time you said that you were engaged to a powerful person in the capital?"

Speaking of this, Hang Qiurong pouted and said: "To be honest, I don't know how I feel about this engagement. If Gao marries to the capital, my mother will definitely be able to feel proud. My father's concubines , I don’t dare to touch my nose or face anymore. But... I don’t know who the other person is."

Yang Mu asked: "Whose family is it?"

If Mu Dalang was really from the capital, she might have heard of him. After Hang Qiurong left, she could ask about this family's reputation in private.

Hang Qiurong was grateful for Yang Mu's rescue and fell in love with her at first sight, so he did not shy away from the marriage. He whispered: "This is Situ Yu, the concubine of Governor Bai Zewei of the capital."

Yang Mu blinked, having no idea who Bai Zewei was, let alone who Situ Yu was.

When Mu Dalang, who had an excellent ear in the west room next door, heard the word "Bai Zewei", he frowned slightly.

Hang Qiurong patiently explained to Yang Mu: "Bai Zewei is directly under the management of the royal family, supervises all officials, and can also interrogate officials..."

After Hang Qiurong's explanation over a cup of tea, Yang Mu realized, isn't this Jin Yiwei?

So Hang Qiurong’s fiancé’s brother is the commander-in-chief of Jinyiwei.

That can indeed be called a powerful person.
