Reborn as the spoiled male wife of the mortal enemy

Chapter 140: Capture the thief first and capture the king first

The photo studio is on the street behind Bai's Business.

A carved wooden plaque with the words "Happiness Photo Studio" hung above the door. As I pushed open the door, the crisp sound of wind chimes filled the air, and the faint scent of camphor wood filled the air.

The light in the shop was soft, filtering through the carved window lattices, casting a variegated pattern of light and shadow on the quaint floor tiles. The walls were covered with many old photos, their frames slightly frayed at the edges, adding a touch of age. In the corner, a gramophone played melodious music.

"Welcome!" A man in a white suit and round-frame glasses came forward with a smile.

"We want to take pictures." Nanchun said with a smile.

"Do you two want a group photo or individual photos?" the man asked.

"I want both." Nanchun said.

"There are costumes and props here, you can pick some out." The man greeted enthusiastically.

"That's it. No need to change costumes or props. Just everyday outfit will do." Nanchun said with a smile.

"Okay, you guys stand here, let me take a group photo first!"

The two stood in front of the backdrop, Bai Xun naturally held Nanchun's hand, and Nanchun grinned at the camera.

Coming out of the photo studio, Bai Xun said, "I'll go back to the old house after I get the photos in a couple of days. I'll bring your photos to my mother then. She must be missing you very much right now, and seeing the photos will put her mind at ease."

"it is good."

Nanchun also had this intention.

"Do you want to go to the movies?" Bai Xun asked.

I think about it, but there are still things I haven’t done.

Bai Xun would be returning to Baijiazhai in two days, and he didn't know when he would be back. He was afraid he wouldn't have a good excuse to come to the trading company frequently to investigate.

Nanchun said, "Let's go later! We're already near the business, it wouldn't be nice if we didn't go and take a look. You're going back to the old house in a couple of days, so the eldest young master doesn't know about this, right?"

"Okay, let's go to the business first."

The two of them came to the trading company.

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam." Bai Dahai stepped forward and bowed.

"Is my brother here?" Bai Xun asked.

"Yes, I'm talking to Mr. Wang in the living room."

Bai Xun's expression changed slightly. He glanced at Nanchun and said, "Since he is busy, we won't disturb him."

Nanchun saw this and said hurriedly, "I know you care about me. But Mr. Wang is so close to the young master, it's no use hiding him all the time. Besides... I didn't see him say anything bad this morning. Let's go! Let's go!"

Nanchun said as she pushed him upstairs.

"Master, Madam." Xu Shuisheng was surprised to see them coming. "Master is looking for you! I just called Baiyuan, and Steward Yan said you were out."

"You're here! Xundi, I was looking for you!" Bai Song heard voices in the house and opened the door.

"Mr. Wang." Nanchun walked into the room and greeted Wang Zijin with a smile.

Prince Jin nodded at him.

"Brother, what do you want to talk to me about?" Bai Xun asked.

"The land lease contract with Mr. Shen of Fuyuanji has been signed. The raw silk arrived in Yangcheng this morning and is now stored in our warehouse. We must not let Marshal Li know that Mr. Shen has the raw silk.

"But Marshal Li's men have been hanging around Fuyuanji's factory lately. Perhaps knowing the factory is short on raw silk, they've sent in more people these past two days, closely guarding the factory entrances and exits. "It's difficult to get our raw silk in. You have a lot of ideas, so think of what we should do," Bo Song said embarrassment.

"Marshal Li and the Sheng family are determined to prevent Fuyuanji from completing the contract. This is a difficult matter. Why don't we just not get involved?" Wang Zijin sighed.

"How many of them are there?" Bai Xun asked.

"It is said that there are more than a dozen." Bo Song said.

"Marshal Li came here secretly. In order not to attract attention, he probably won't bring many people with him. How about a feint to the east and attack in the west? Lure the people away, and then take the opportunity to get the goods in. How about it?" Bai Xun suggested.

"I guess they can only divert a part of them. They sent more people and kept a close eye on us, probably just to prevent this." Bo Song frowned.

Nanchun thought for a moment and said, "Isn't the leader of those people hanging around the Fuyuanji factory a lieutenant named Chen?"

Bo Song nodded and looked at him in surprise: "How did you know?"

"That man's name is Chen Jinyang, and he's my cousin's husband." Nanchun said.

"Ah? Yiren got married?" Bai Song looked at Bai Xun in surprise.

"Nanchun and I met them on the street. My cousin said her husband's name is Chen Jinyang. He is a lieutenant and works under Marshal Li." Bai Xun said.

"What a coincidence! Has my aunt really severed all ties with the Bai family? She didn't even inform the Bai family of my cousin's marriage." Bai Song raised an eyebrow and said in a cold tone, "But after doing such a shameful thing, I'm afraid she wouldn't have the nerve to inform them."

"Bai Xun, don't Chen Jinyang and Wu Yiren really want to have dinner with us? Then let's give them a chance. Catch the leader first. If we take off their heads first, those lackeys will be easy to deal with, right?" Nanchun chuckled.

Bai Xun looked at him, his brows slightly furrowed: "No."

These two people would definitely not be able to say anything good when they saw Nanchun. Wouldn't eating with them just be humiliating Nanchun for nothing?

Seeing Bai Xun in a dilemma, Bai Song thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll invite them. If you two don't want to attend, then you don't have to."

"Chen Jinyang has an important mission, and you're not close to your cousin. If you invite them, they might not come. Even if they do come, seeing that Bai Xun and I aren't attending, given Wu Yiren's temperament, she'll probably find an excuse to leave early.

Furthermore, the Bai and Wu families are already at odds. It would be illogical for us to specifically invite them, and this would undoubtedly attract Marshal Li's attention. If we alert them, it would be even more difficult to get the raw silk inside.

When I met them that day, they mocked me, but they didn't mention anything about Han Yi Niang. I guess they don't know yet. "Master, please find a kind person to accidentally tell Wu Yi Ren this news."

"The person she hates the most right now is probably me. Knowing that Bai Xun married a concubine so quickly, she must be eager to see me make a fool of myself. She'll definitely show up uninvited then." Nanchun said, curling her lips.

"But if she came alone..." Bo Song asked doubtfully.

"Then find another kind-hearted person to accidentally tell Chen Jinyang that my cousin once liked Bai Xun, and that the Bai and Wu families almost got married. Anyway, these words are facts, so it doesn't matter if they check it out." Nanchun said calmly.

"This is a good idea! Lieutenant Chen will not sit idly by and watch his wife go find a love rival, so he will definitely follow her. He abandoned his mission and left without permission for his own personal matters. Even if he noticed something was wrong afterwards, he didn't dare to tell Marshal Li, so he could only swallow his anger." Wang Zijin showed a look of joy.
