The fate was changed, the mistress of the Hou family was slapped in the face and made money to win

Chapter 363: The surname is Zhou, what is the name Zhou Zixia

Jiang Suining had a calm and composed smile on his face, showing neither joy nor indifference.

Obviously, this test had no results. Yang Manman frowned, unsure whether there was any other story behind Jiang Suining's imprisonment.

However, Bi Yingjie only agreed to give her an incense stick of time. Yang Manman knew that she couldn't delay any longer, so she gritted her teeth and spoke.

"There are indeed conditions, but this matter is not difficult for you at all. As long as you can agree, I will definitely..."

Jiang Suining interrupted her, "Before you make any promises, Miss Yang, please tell me what's going on."

Yang Manman took a deep breath and said, "My father wants to marry me to a fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue!"

"So what?" Jiang Suining asked.

“So?” Yang Manman frowned and said unhappily, “He’s a fifth-rank official! And he was previously sent out as an official, and was just transferred back to the imperial city!”

Her tone was hoarse, as if the words "fifth rank" coming out of her mouth would lower her status.

Although she had made some jokes before, it was all in the past. She and Yang Huihui were both legitimate daughters, so why could she only marry a man of the fifth rank?

Moreover, I heard that the Zhou man's family had fallen into poverty a few years ago, and now he has no prominent career. I think he has neither family wealth nor any future. Even Li Zheng looked down on him before. If I marry such a person now, I will be laughed at to death.

Jiang Suining understood the disdain in Yang Manman's words.

A fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue might indeed be nothing in front of Duke Yang's mansion.

But even if they were disappointed with Yang Manman, even for the sake of the Duke's Mansion's reputation, Duke Yang and his wife would never just choose anyone to marry Yang Manman to.

Since he was able to choose the other party, he must have some outstanding qualities.

Of course, Jiang Suining was not interested in analyzing these things with Yang Manman, so he asked directly.

"Then why are you looking for me? Do you think I can help you ruin this marriage?"

"That's right." Yang Manman stared at Jiang Suining, "I've already inquired about it. Although he just returned to the Imperial City, he has already taken over the management and taxation of the Imperial City's shops, and the scope of his management happens to include the west of the city. There are many shops of yours there, and you have always been cunning..."

After saying these four words, Yang Manman suddenly paused.

Realizing that she had said something wrong, she wanted to change her words, but she couldn't save face and she froze there for a moment.

Jiang Suining raised his eyebrows indifferently, "Go on."

Yang Manman breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "I've thought about it. There are so many of your shops in the west of the city, and that doctor from the Ministry of Revenue has just arrived. If you just think of some ways to trip him up and make him make mistakes, he might be kicked out of the imperial city in disgrace."

At that time, the marriage would naturally be over.

Yang Manman spoke confidently and didn't think there was anything wrong with this approach.

"Since you don't want this marriage, why don't you oppose it yourself, instead of using this method of ruining other people's future?" Jiang Suining said.

"You think I didn't object? But do you think my father will still listen to me after what happened before?" Yang Manman looked at Jiang Suining coldly, anger and hatred welling up in her eyes again.

To be honest, if it weren't for Jiang Suining, I might not have fallen into this situation.

Ever since she and Li Zheng broke off their engagement, most of the relationships they had previously maintained had been severed. In addition, she had been locked up at home recently and had no chance to reconnect.

Now she couldn't rely on anyone at all. She couldn't go to Yang Huihui and ask her to persuade her father and mother to change their minds!

There was no way Yang Huihui would help her.

After hearing about Jiang Suining being arrested last night, she suddenly realized that he might be a good candidate.

After all, Jiang Suining owned many shops and had frequent contacts with the Ministry of Revenue, so she had plenty of opportunities to make some moves. As long as she ruined the future of the man named Zhou, she didn't believe that her father would let her marry him.

Seeing Jiang Suining remained silent, Yang Manman promised again: "Don't worry, I won't ask you to help me for nothing. As long as you help me this time, I can guarantee that our previous grudges will be wiped out. In addition, I will try my best to help you leave this prison."

Yang Manman thought that she had shown enough sincerity, and no matter what, her identity was there, and she believed that Jiang Suining would not want to be her enemy forever.

However, what she met was Jiang Suining's cold gaze.

"Miss Yang should know what the crime of framing an imperial official is."

"He is just a mere fifth-rank official. I have inquired about his family. His family has long been impoverished. He became an official by passing the imperial examination. As soon as he took office, he was transferred out of the imperial city. He has no backing and no connections. Even if he is framed, it will not be a big deal."

Yang Manman's contemptuous tone finally made Jiang Suining frown.

She originally thought that the other party just looked down on women and wanted to gain attention by suppressing other women, but now it seems that Yang Manman has no justice in her bones. She does not care about others at all to achieve her goals, and she is even worse than before.

"Ms. Yang has found the wrong person. I can't do this."

Not to mention that he didn't need to rely on Yang Manman to leave the prison, and if he did something like framing an imperial official, he would easily hand the evidence to others.

Yang Manman said in an unhappy tone, "Jiang Suining, you better think it through. I have already taken the initiative to give in and give you the opportunity to make peace. If you don't cherish it, don't blame me for not remembering the kindness I showed you in the matter of the yamen runner."

Because of what happened last time, she had planned to give up targeting Jiang Suining, but why was Jiang Suining so ungrateful?

Faced with this threat, Jiang Suining simply withdrew his gaze and returned his eyes to the paper in front of him.

Thinking that she might have to meet someone later, she didn't intend to continue talking to Yang Manman. However, just as she was about to pick up the pen, she suddenly looked up at Yang Manman.

"What's the name of the fifth-rank official in the Ministry of Revenue you mentioned?"

"Surname Zhou, what's your name Zhou Zixia?"

Jiang Suining was startled, and the figure in green clothes who had read in Ning Mozhai immediately appeared in his mind.

At the moment when she lowered her head just now, she suddenly thought of Shen Yanxi's friend, whose family was impoverished, who entered the government through the imperial examination, and was sent to serve as an official in a remote area. All of the things fit the description.

Unexpectedly, there are so many coincidences in the world, it turned out to be Zhou Zixia.

"So, have you thought it through and changed your mind?"

Hearing Yang Manman's relentless questioning, Jiang Suining frowned and thought, then when he raised his eyes again, he smiled.

"Okay, I agree!"
