And the cause of the small conflict within the Jiang Family was none other than Xiao Zhi.

After Xiao Zhi firmly grasped Jiang Qianxi's heart in her hands, she began to persuade Jiang Qianxi to participate in the family business.

The concubines of the Jiang Family had long been divided into the main house, the second room, and the third room.

Although the Third Branch was in charge, due to the Third Branch's manager, Jiang Qianxi's father Jiang Zhende's health was not good. Furthermore, because Jiang Qianxi was blind and did not have any other intentions, the authority that belonged to the Third Branch was naturally divided between the Eldest Branch and the Second Branch.

Now that Jiang Qianxi wanted to take back the power of the Third Branch, he would naturally have to waste some time!

It had to be said that Xiao Zhi had a good eye. Although Jiang Qianxi couldn't see with his eyes, his brain was indeed very smart.

It was unknown how Jiang Qianxi found out about the adultery between his concubine that Jiang Zhenxian doted on the most and the eldest son of Janus, who was from the second house.

Just as his concubine and Jiang Qianrun were having another secret meeting, Jiang Qianxi's scheme was broken apart by Jiang Zhenxian himself.

From then on, a flame war started between the two houses. During this period, several scandals between the two houses were exposed.

In the end, under Jiang Qianxi's all-out mediation, the main house and the second house had finally reached an agreement on the surface, but in private, they still wanted to do something to cause trouble for the other party. Thus, Jiang Qianxi effortlessly took back the authority of the second and third houses.

Amongst them, the happiest one was Xiao Zhi.

All that land and all that money, in Xiao Zhi's eyes, couldn't be more important than this person.

This was because the land and banks required people to take care of them, and Jiang Qianxi had the final say in how to allocate these people.

As long as he could cultivate some trusted aides and place them in an important position, wouldn't this entire Jiang Family be controlled by Jiang Qianxi alone?

While Xiao Zhi was still happy on one side, she received a piece of news from the other Maidservant s, which pushed Xiao Zhi to the bottom in an instant.

They said that Madam Ling was looking at the portrait of the renowned sect's daughter and were preparing to settle the matter of Jiang Qianxi's marriage before the end of the year.

was stunned. All along, she had neglected a very important, and also a very practical problem, and that was her current identity, which was just a Maidservant by Jiang Qianxi's side. No matter how much Jiang Qianxi liked her, she could only be a concubine.

However, she was clearly a princess, a princess of the Great Yu. Her status was noble enough to become Jiang Qianxi's official wife, and Xiao Zhi was unresigned and extremely unresigned. She had always believed that the reason Jiang Qianxi had his current status was all because of her.

Now, Jiang Qianxi held the power to marry her to another woman, and wanted his to pluck the fruits that she had planted. It was simply a fantasy.

In the end, Xiao Zhi made a decision. A decision that would allow her to be worthy of Jiang Qianxi!

It was not because she liked Jiang Qianxi that she wanted to marry him, but because she had a feeling that Jiang Qianxi would give her everything she wanted.

On this side, for once, Gu Shiyi and Situ Jing relaxed on a clear and bright night like the one in the moon.

There was a Hot Spring Villa in the southern suburbs of Liyang. It was originally a private property of the Jiang Family, but now, it had already been lost to Situ Jing by Jiang Qiankun.

It was winter now, but as they soaked in the hot spring, they didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness.

As the cup of fruit wine entered his stomach, Gu Shiyi's face flushed a little, and she became dumbstruck.

Only after he finished all the fruit wine did Situ Jing impatiently hug Gu Shiyi from the back and started to wrap around him in the hot spring.

It had already been two months since the Jiang Clan Food Store faced the poison rice incident. In this period of time, even though Jiang Family mobilized a large amount of food from other places to Liyang, without exception, all of them had become seriously moldy.

That also caused the Jiang clan's reputation to drop to the bottom. Not only the Liyang, the citizens of other places also started to boycott the Jiang clan's food shop, and even advised them when they saw someone enter, preventing them from buying food in the Jiang clan.

Thus, in these two months, not only did the Jiang Clan's grain store lose a large amount of food, it also lost several hundred years of its reputation. This also caused people to stop believing in the Jiang Clan's banks and to simultaneously take out banknotes to exchange for silver.

Since the first day, there had been more and more people coming to exchange the silver. Every day since then, there had been more and more people.

This could also be seen from another point of view. The Jiang Family was indeed rich and imposing, however, no matter how rich they were, even if they were guarding a mountain of gold and silver, they couldn't stand the constant frenzied competition for the rights to the branch of the Jiang Clan!

Just like this, the Jiang Clan Bank was out of silver, and the commoners that were unable to redeem the silver started causing trouble at the Jiang Clan Bank's entrance.

At the same time, because the new rice was late in harvesting the Jiang Family, and the soldiers in the barracks were already beginning to drink the porridge. In the end, after thinking for a long time, Jiang Qiankun decided to send all the poisoned rice back to the army, and at the same time, began to console himself. The bodies of the soldiers must be very healthy, and they definitely wouldn't have any intentions.

Unexpectedly, the soldiers all started to vomit after eating a full meal in the middle of the night. Many of them died from the lack of a latrine room.

However, even the surviving soldiers were in a very poor condition. Not to mention fighting and marching, even training soldiers was becoming very difficult.

This matter, the generals in the army directly reported this matter to the Jiang Family's Patriarch, Jiang Qianzhi's grandfather, Jiang Hongru.

Jiang Hongru had only said one word, and that was investigate!

It only took two hours for the entire sequence of events to become clear. Everything had started from that underground bank.

Jiang Kun was like a rogue child as he hugged Jiang Hongru and cried. But from start to finish, Jiang Hongru did not even look at Jiang Kun!

"This bit of loss is nothing to Jiang Family. Hong Ru, you should drink the medicine now!"

After Ning Qingqing left, he took a white porcelain bowl that was filled with the black medicine and placed it in front of Jiang Hongru.

"Sigh, I'll tell you the truth. The reason that Jiang Family is so urgent to be born is because Jiang Family has already been unable to make ends meet for the past ten years already!"

Jiang Hongru sighed, and took the bowl from Ning Qingqing's hands, and drank all of it in one gulp.
