1376th: Nansheng, the Autumn of Troubled Times (2)
Mrs. Han's surname is Tao. Although the family background is not as good as that of the Feng family, but in terms of family wealth, even ten Feng families can't match it.
The Tao family tree can be traced back to before the Sixteen Kingdoms, but the real fortune was after the establishment of Dongqing. The previous performance was mediocre, and it was a typical example of more than enough. Before the establishment of Dongqing, the ancestors of the Tao family knew heroes with insight, and decisively placed a heavy bet on Dongqing Taizu. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, as one of his confidantes, Dow supervised the southern salt affairs for the royal family. After decades, he accumulated an extremely rich net worth.
Until more than 20 years ago, the two Dongqing emperors ruled the sky and disregarded the government. Dow took the opportunity to take advantage of the loopholes and united with the local gentry to control the salt affairs in the southern part of Dongqing. The more I tasted, the more courageous I became.
Of course, the grand spectacle of cooking oil with fire and blooming flowers has somewhat caused fear to many people who are still quite clear-headed.
I never expected that God is so powerful, Dongqing is suffering from foreign troubles in northern Xinjiang, the earthquake in Shangjing and the relocation of the capital to Chenzhou...
After a series of coquettish manipulations, Dongqing was played to death by the royal family themselves.
Immediately afterwards, the princes separatist regimes, and the various forces fought fiercely for a little bit of territory.
In such a situation, who would pay attention to the private salt business.
Dow and several other tyrannical forces tore up the last fig leaf, and openly occupied the private salt business. In just a few years, they accumulated Lian Jiang Pengji's extremely huge net worth. If I were to use a metaphor, I am afraid that even Beijiang, the big fat sheep back then, cannot be compared.
From this we can see how rich Dow and the others are.
How could Dow let them go willingly?
How could Jiang Pengji allow Dow to continue to dominate?
This is an irreconcilable contradiction!
This is also the root cause of Han Yu and his wife's reconciliation. Otherwise, for the sake of the two sons-in-law, the two would not easily reconcile.
Han Yu knew this, but Mrs. Han didn't notice it.
She left most of the dowry to her two sons-in-law, and returned to her hometown with a small amount of assets and servants.
In order to preserve her only dignity, Mrs. Han acted calmly in front of Han Yu, but she couldn't help crying when she was alone.
"Ma'am, why are you bothering?"
The dowry mother felt very uncomfortable seeing the lady who had been raised since she was a little girl lost her soul.
Mrs. Han said, "I'm just... a little uneasy."
"The Tao Manor doesn't know about the reconciliation between the eldest lady and the uncle." The dowry mother said worriedly, "I'm afraid it's..."
Mrs. Han pretended to be calm and said, "Nurse, don't worry."
The dowry mother sighed, full of deep worry.
Returning home with the daughter of Li, how can the treatment be the same as when she was not married?
Madam Han suddenly remembered what Jiang Pengji once asked her——
【I'm curious, if Wen Bin is Bo Gao and his wife is Qi Chaolan, will you also be rejected by your natal family】
Mrs. Han suddenly shook her head, no matter how bad her situation was, she would not be reduced to the state of a bereaved dog!
Everyone in the Tao Mansion expressed surprise at Mrs. Han's arrival, and after careful questioning, both parents changed their expressions in unison.
"You and Wen Bin reconciled?"
Father Tao's voice was very serious, with a hint of reprimand and ferocity.
Mrs. Han looked quite tired due to the exhaustion of the boat and car, but she still had to keep her spirits up, and she couldn't lose her manners in front of her parents.
"Yes." She said flatly, "My daughter and Wen Bin have divorced."
Father Tao's fingers paused in mid-air, and his fingertips trembled slightly with his heavy breathing, showing that the master's guilt was constantly tossing.
After a while, he scolded Mrs. Han, "Confused! You rebellious girl!"
Mrs. Han's tired face turned into puzzlement, she said, "Wen Bin's fate with his daughter is over, and he wants to make peace, what can my daughter do?"
Father Tao said, "Even if this is the case, you shouldn't be divorced at this time, you're such a rebellious girl! Could it be that you're going to be so angry that you can't be a father!"
Mrs. Han was stunned by the reprimand.
Father Tao lost control of his emotions.
If it wasn't for Mother Tao's persuasion, Mrs. Han would have been reprimanded even worse.
Mother Tao said, "Master, the plan for now is not to reprimand my daughter, but to think of a way to overcome this difficulty!"
Under Tao's mother's obstruction and persuasion, Tao's father calmed down a lot.
Mrs. Han's heart skipped a beat.
She was secretly guessing what kind of problem Tao Mansion encountered, Tao mother asked her.
"I know your character as a mother. You gave birth to Wenbin's children. You have worked hard without credit. Why did he want to reconcile with you?"
Father Tao and Mother Tao didn't care about their daughter and son-in-law reconciling, they cared about why these two reconciled at this sensitive moment!
What is the reason for reconciliation?
Mrs. Han keenly noticed the abnormality of her parents, but she couldn't figure out the reason, so she could only tell the truth.
As for the reason for the reconciliation, in Mrs. Han's opinion, it is because the relationship between husband and wife has been worn out by life. She and Han Yu have different ideas. Jiang Pengji's marriage will break down sooner or later.
After Tao's father and Tao's mother heard this, they remained silent for a long time. Their eyes flickered, as if they were weighing the deep message of the words.
The atmosphere in the triple room was a little dull.
After the dinner was over, she called the butler of the Tao Mansion privately and asked about the recent events in the mansion.
The housekeeper has served Tao Mansion for many years, he is one of Tao's father's most trusted confidantes, and he is the insider of many things.
Facing Mrs. Han's inquiry, the butler hesitated uncommonly.
Mrs. Han said, "I just heard that the Tao Mansion encountered a difficult pass when I returned to the mansion. As a daughter of the Tao family, how can I stay out of it?"
The housekeeper said, "Miss, it's not impossible to talk about this matter, it's just that my wife is worried about my wife, so I didn't mention it."
Mrs. Han frowned and said, "Just say what you want."
The housekeeper brought up the fact that Jiang Pengji had sent people to investigate the local illegal salt business and taxation, and Mrs. Han's face turned green when she heard that.
"Master and Madam are also worried. Liu Xi's son is obviously uneasy and kind, and he is afraid that he wants to intervene in the salt affairs. However, the eldest lady and the son-in-law are reconciled at this time. The two elders have to worry about whether they have heard something from Liu Xi's side. My aunt and my wife are reconciled."
After all, Han Yu was Jiang Pengji's trusted confidant.
If she takes action against Dow and others, takes back the salt business, and rectifies taxes, then——
How can Dow, which has been mired in the quagmire, get out easily?
The Tao family can't escape, and Mrs. Han, who was born in the Tao family, can't escape either. Han Yu, as Tao's aunt, will probably be implicated as well.
When Mrs. Han heard this, her already tired face showed a bit of dead silence.
Although salt is so common, it is an indispensable daily necessities for the people all over the world.
It seems worthless, but in fact there are huge profits hidden.
Because everyone needs it, there is no need to worry about selling salt, and it can make a huge fortune in an instant.
Mrs. Han murmured, "In this way, the reconciliation this time has actually caused trouble for parents."
