Chapter 442

Empress Liu's father is not worth mentioning, and doesn't know whether he's dead or alive.

What's worth mentioning is her grandfather, Liu Cheng.

He is the Chief Secretary.

This position was originally for officials who helped the Emperor handle government affairs in the palace, responsible for the "secret memorials" directly submitted to the Emperor, and the responsibility was important.

It can be said that his ability to grasp the overall situation is far beyond the reach of others!

He is a person of the Retired Emperor.

As long as he marries Empress Liu, he will naturally be able to be smoother in the imperial court.

This is also why Consort Jing and Mei Changsu both took a fancy to the other party.

Jia Hui had no good feelings for this Liu Cheng.

He had also seen the other party during several imperial court meetings before.

In his memory.

This guy is slick and worldly, a person who knows how to see which way the wind blows.

Although he had no good feelings, if this person could be won over.

It would also be good for Jia Hui.

However, in essence, Jia Hui was just coveting Empress Liu's gentle and elegant temperament, her beauty, and her future status as Crown Princess and Empress.

It had nothing to do with Liu Cheng.

But it would probably not be easy for Jia Hui to get this woman.

After all, it would be fine to give the other party the status of a legal wife.

The key is that he can't give it right now.

The other party is the dignified Chief Secretary, in terms of rank, he is associate first rank, and a Grand Secretary of the Cabinet!

Except for the nobility, his status and power were even stronger than Jia Hui's.

That's why his daughter could become the Crown Princess.

It was not easy for him to marry her.

Therefore, it needed to be discussed in the long run.

And Xun Baiyun was also not easy to handle.

Of course, it was still much easier.

After all, her brother was only an associate third-rank civil official.

Now looking at Xun Baiyun's infatuated look at him, Jia Hui thought secretly: "Just find an opportunity to get on the bus before buying the ticket, I'm not afraid that this kid Xun Bai Shui won't agree."

The belly-black and sinister Jia Hui smiled at Xun Baiyun.

Xun Baiyun was immediately fascinated.

Jia Hui also nodded and smiled at Xun Anru, who was as cute and lovely as Xichun.

Xun Anru was also a beauty in the future, must be taken!

And this little beauty, although she was infinitely close to the center of power because of her prominent family background, always maintained a simple and innocent appearance.

With both beauty and family background, talented and gentle and kind, Xun Anru was like a clear stream in wealth and power, and a lotus flower in interest and desire.

Must be taken!

"I am a kind-hearted person; in my memory, your ending after marrying Li Yuanqi was not good, experiencing the tragic death of your uncle, your husband's rebellion, and finally jumping to your death."

"A girl who is pure and beautiful to the extreme, but married a demon from hell with a twisted mind. This is not good; in this life, let me cherish you well and let you live a safe and happy life!"

In his heart, Jia Hui, this old lecher, found a nice-sounding reason for himself.

Xun Baiyun and Xun Anru, this pair of aunt and niece, did not know that the handsome man in front of them, whom they had a very good impression of, had already secretly calculated to take them both into his room!

They were still looking at Jia Hui infatuatedly.

"Aunt, aunt, did you see that, he smiled at me, he smiled so beautifully."

The innocent, pure, and beautiful Xun Anru said excitedly to her aunt Xun Baiyun, raising her head slightly.

Xun Baiyun gave a light "hmm," actually perfunctorily.

"What's so good-looking about a little brat like you, he smiled at me!"

And Gu Yankai swallowed his anger and left the courtroom with Jia Hui.

They found a quiet place where there were only two people.

Gu Yankai looked at Jia Hui and said: "My second son offended Earl Wushuang, I apologize to you on his behalf."

As he spoke, he bowed again.

Jia Hui could afford it!

However, Jia Hui smiled calmly: "Hou Jue of Ningyuan, an apology is due, I can afford it."

Gu Yankai felt ashamed and angry in his heart, but hearing this, he thought this matter could be settled.

So he breathed a sigh of relief.

It's just that he was happy too early!

Subsequently, Jia Hui said with a light smile: "However, if an apology is useful, what is the office for?"

"Your son dared to insult a court official; killing him would be light."

"Now it's just punishing him for his crime, you should be secretly happy."

"What exactly do you want to do to let him go."

After all, he is a Hou Jue.

Everyone wants face.

Gu Yankai finally couldn't bear it anymore and said angrily!

Hearing this.

Jia Hui actually thought about it seriously.

A few days ago.

One Jia Zheng, one Jia Lian.

He had blackmailed them for fifty thousand taels each.

Fengjie also compensated once.

Gu Yankai is a Hou Jue, one rank lower than the Duke's Mansion.

Gu Tingye is also not the legal eldest son.

So asking for thirty thousand taels is just right, not too much and not too cheap, right?

However, Jia Hui didn't intend to let Gu Tingye go completely just for money.

Therefore.

He said: "Ten thousand taels, and I won't take his life."

Gu Yankai breathed a sigh of relief.

Ten thousand taels!

Damn it!

Although extremely heartbroken.

After all, their family is not much stronger than the Rong and Ning mansions.

Gu Yankai relied on the dowry of his merchant wife to support the family.

After so many years.

It has already been spent seven or eight out of ten.

.......... 0

This ten thousand taels is not a small number for him!

The Gu family will definitely be hurt.

But as long as his life can be saved.

So Gu Yankai was just about to grit his teeth and agree.

Jia Hui added and emphasized: "I just don't want his life, wait until I beat him ninety times with a staff to give him a way to live."
