Poor Family: I reached the top by marrying a wife

Chapter 309 Xue Wenyan's Abnormality

After Mu Qingqing left, Jiang Chen found the old soldier and got the invitation.

However, after seeing the signature on the invitation, Jiang Chen felt a headache.

Because this was actually an invitation from that enchantress Xia Ningxiang.

The other party invited him to a banquet at Zuixianlou!

He had just deceived Xia Ningxiang about the honeycomb charcoal matter.

Now, Xia Ningxiang definitely knew about his title of nobility.

At this time, Xia Ningxiang came to him...

Jiang Chen sighed helplessly.

"Alas! What an injustice!"

But just when Jiang Chen was about to go back to his room to rest for a while, Xue Linglong came to his residence.

"Jiang Chen! You're finally back!"

Xue Linglong saw Jiang Chen and hugged him!

"Linglong, why...why are you here?"

Jiang Chen was surprised when he saw Xue Linglong.

Judging from what Mu Qingqing told him, Xue Wenyan was definitely suspicious of him at this time. How could he let Xue Linglong come in contact with him?

"I...I heard you were back, so I came to see you!"

"By the way, my father invites you to have tea in his house!" Xue Linglong said happily.

But when Jiang Chen heard Xue Linglong's words, he became even more confused.

Xue Wenyan invited him to have tea?

Could it be that Xue Wenyan listened to what Mr. Xue San said and believed him?

"Okay, I'll go with you right away!"

Jiang Chen followed Xue Linglong to Xue Wenyan's house.

Along the way, Xue Linglong kept talking about recent events and also pestered Jiang Chen to talk about things on the battlefield.

However, Jiang Chen also heard a piece of news from Xue Linglong's words, that Zhang Ze was trying to win over Xue Wenyan.

If someone said that Zhang Ze approached Xue Linglong just because he liked her, he would absolutely not believe it!

Mu Qingqing said that this Zhang Ze is in charge of half of the business under Eunuch Zhang!

How could such a businessman waste his time and energy on a little girl?

……

"Nephew Jiang! You are finally back!"

Just when Jiang Chen arrived at the gate of the Xue family mansion, Xue Wenyan walked over with an excited look on his face.

"Uncle, you... why are you waiting for me at the door? How can I... how can I bear this?"

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Wenyan in surprise.

"Hahaha, nephew Jiang, how can you not bear it!"

"Now, you call me Second Uncle, and I can't stand it!"

"After all, you're going to be a marquis soon!"

Xue Wenyan laughed and said.

"What!? Jiang Chen is going to be made a marquis!?" Xue Linglong was shocked when she heard Xue Wenyan's words.

"Hahaha, Linglong, you don't know this yet! Jiang Chen is a famous figure now!"

"I'll let Jiang Chen tell you about this later. Go back now. Your father has something important to discuss with Jiang Chen!"

Xue Wenyan said as he led Jiang Chen into the yard.

The two of them walked all the way to the hall, and when they arrived, there was already someone in the hall.

"Second uncle, who is this...?" Jiang Chen saw the man and asked Xue Wenyan with a puzzled look on his face.

"My dear nephew, this is Eunuch Zhang's second son, Zhang Ze."

"Second Young Master, this is Jiang Chen!"

Xue Wenyan introduced the two people with a smile on his face.

"Hahaha, so this is Brother Jiang!"

"Brother Jiang, I've heard my foster father talk about you many times, and today I finally have the chance to meet you!"

"Come on, Brother Jiang, please sit down!" After hearing Jiang Chen's identity, Zhang Ze enthusiastically invited Jiang Chen to sit down.

……

Jiang Chen sat next to the two of them, confused.

"Brother Jiang, to be honest, I have been waiting for you for a long time!" Jiang Chen had just sat down when Zhang Ze said, "Brother Jiang, you don't know that my foster father sent me here to help you deal with the honeycomb charcoal issue!"

"Now, honeycomb charcoal has spread throughout Dajing, and many charcoal merchants have set their sights on you."

"My godfather was afraid that you couldn't handle it, so he sent me here on purpose!"

"But don't worry, Brother Jiang, I'm here to assist you!"

"In other words, I'm here to follow your orders!"

"So, don't be polite!"

Zhang Ze kept a very humble attitude.

It was so low that Jiang Chen felt something was wrong!

But Jiang Chen still smiled: "In that case, thank you very much, Second Young Master!"

"I have been away for a while, and the matter of honeycomb charcoal has been suppressed!"

"I just came back and I don't know the situation very well. I will have a good talk with the Second Young Master after I understand the situation."

Jiang Chen said this with caution, for he was afraid that Xue Wenyan had already joined forces with Zhang Ze.

It would be difficult to force him to make any decision today!

So he thought of a euphemism.

Now, Jiang Chen is still a marquis no matter how good or bad he is.

It’s true that he is afraid of Eunuch Zhang, but he may not be afraid of Zhang Ze!

"Haha, Brother Jiang, what you said makes sense. You should first understand the situation. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me!"

"I live in Luzhou County and I won't leave anytime soon!"

"I came here today just to see you. Now that I've seen you, I won't bother you anymore. You guys are busy."

Zhang Ze said this, stood up, clasped his fists and bowed to Jiang Chen and Xue Wenyan, then left.

……

Xue Wenyan and Jiang Chen saw Zhang Ze off to the door and didn't come back until Zhang Ze was far away.

After the two returned to the yard, Xue Wenyan took Jiang Chen to the study.

But the strange thing was that after arriving at the study, Xue Wenyan checked everywhere before coming to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen looked puzzled when he saw this: "Second Uncle, what are you doing...?"

"Nephew Jiang, to be honest with you, I'm worried that walls have ears!" Xue Wenyan said with a heavy face.

"this……!?"

"Second Uncle, do you suspect that someone has planted someone in your home?!"

"Who is so brave!?"

Jiang Chen asked in surprise.

However, Jiang Chen was really surprised!

Because he learned from Mu Qingqing that Murong Yan had helped him to subdue Xue Da and others!

Could it be that Xue Wenyan was saying this on purpose for him to hear?

"Nephew Jiang, you also saw Zhang Ze today!"

"Zhang Ze is not easy to deal with!"

"He wanted to win me over through Linglong before, but luckily Linglong was sincere to you and didn't fall for it!"

"Now that the news of your title has spread, Zhang Ze has changed his face again!"

"We have to be on guard against this person!"

"Second Uncle... do you think that Zhang Ze has planted people in your house?"

Jiang Chen looked at Xue Wenyan's cautious look and couldn't help but ask.

"Not bad!"

Xue Wenyan nodded and said, "My house is big and there are many people here, so anything can happen. You must be careful!"

"But now that you're back, I feel less stressed!"

"Jiang Chen, to be honest with you, I really don't want to take sides so quickly and get involved in their fight."

"If Bin'er hadn't died less than two months ago, I...I would have wanted Linglong to marry you as soon as possible!"
