Chapter 56 Could it be that someone else has been reborn like her?

Mr. Tang, who used to wake up smiling from his dreams, had his beautiful dream shattered by a sudden piece of news.

That night, Tang's father was sleeping peacefully when a man rode up on horseback in the darkness and hurriedly knocked on the Tang family's door.

Then the gate opened, and the man seemed to say something to the gatekeeper before being led to Tang's father's courtyard.

Tang's father, who was fast asleep, was hurriedly woken up by his personal servant.

"Master, Master, people from Yuanshan have arrived."

Tang's father was about to get angry, but he stopped when he heard that it was someone from Yuanshan.

Why would anyone from Yuanshan come here!
Is there some kind of emergency?

You know, Yuanshan is the mountain my daughter mentioned that has iron ore underground.

After learning that there was an iron ore deposit there, he ordered people to mine it.

Because unauthorized iron ore mining could result in the confiscation of property and the extermination of the entire family, Tang's father was always very cautious.

As for the people on Yuanshan's side, they were also entrusted with the responsibility by trusted confidants.

Moreover, unless absolutely necessary, his confidants are not allowed to come to the Tang residence to contact him.

I'm afraid someone will notice something amiss.

But now, in the dead of night, people have come from Yuanshan.

This gave Tang's father a bad feeling.

Tang's father disregarded everything else, immediately dressed, got up, and went outside.

Soon they saw the person from Yuanshan.

It was Zou Biao, the trusted confidant he summoned to oversee the mining of the Yuanshan Iron Mine.

However, Zou Biao looked flustered and disheveled, covered in dust.

"Master, something happened!"

Before Tang's father could even ask him anything, Zou Biao spoke first.

"Zou Biao, what brings you here? What happened?!"

"The imperial court has sent people!"

"what!"

Only after Zou Biao recounted the story did Tang's father learn the reason behind it.

Originally, Zou Biao was directing people to mine iron ore today, just like any other day.

Suddenly, a lookout came to report that someone was heading towards Yuanshan.

Moreover, the leader was wearing official robes and was accompanied by a large group of men.

"Boss, could it be that the officials know we're mining iron ore illegally and that's why they've come to arrest us?" That's what his men were speculating at the time.

Zou Biao thought so too.

"Retreat everyone, hide, and observe!" Zou Biao said at the time.

So, Zou Biao quickly led the miners into hiding.

He then sent people to inquire about the situation.

Soon, the news arrived.

Indeed, the official led a group of men towards Yuanshan, heading straight for the iron mine.

"The official seemed to have known all along that there was an iron ore mine under Yuanshan Mountain. He immediately ordered his men to surround Yuanshan Mountain, saying that the imperial court wanted to open a mine."

"It is said that the official was sent from the capital."

“Master, now that Yuanshan has been taken over by the imperial court, we can’t get any of it.”

"Moreover, they seem to have discovered some signs of unauthorized mining and are ordering arrests," Zou Biao said with a grim expression.

"There was no other way but to leave with my men overnight."

"Master, what should we do now?"

Zou Biao's words left Tang's father completely stunned.

How could this be? Why would the imperial court suddenly send officials to mine iron ore at Yuanshan?

And they went straight there as soon as they arrived.

It's as if they were certain there was an iron ore deposit there.

But didn't Yueyue say that no one had discovered the Yuanshan Iron Mine?
What exactly is going on?

Tang's father's face turned ashen. "Someone, go and fetch the young lady!"

Meanwhile, Tang Xiyue, who was dreaming of becoming an empress, was hurriedly woken up by her maid.

Just as she was about to curse, she heard the maid say that her father needed to see her urgently. "What's wrong with Father? In the middle of the night, can't a person get any sleep?"

She grumbled under her breath, but Tang Xiyue knew the truth.

If her father is calling her in the middle of the night, it must be something urgent.

So Tang Xiyue quickly got up, dressed, and rushed to her father's study.

"Dad, what do you want by calling me here in the middle of the night? Huh, who is this person?" Tang Xiyue didn't recognize Zou Biao.

Tang's father's expression was not good. "Zou Biao, come and tell Miss about this."

"Yes!"

Soon, Zou Biao recounted the story again.

Tang Xiyue was immediately stunned. "What did you say? You must be talking nonsense! How could the imperial court possibly send officials to Yuanshan to mine iron ore?!"

Tang Xiyue didn't believe it.

You should know that in the previous life, this Yuanshan iron mine had never been discovered.

Later, it was Li Tian'ao who wanted to start a rebellion. Because he had no weapons, he accidentally discovered the Yuanshan Iron Mine.

The discovery of this iron mine also provided weapons support for Li Tian'ao's uprising.

She remembered that it was the 45th year of the Xuanhe era.

But this is the 43rd year of the Xuanhe era!

Even if Li Tian'ao discovers it two years later, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to discover it in the next two years, especially the imperial court.

"Father, is there a mistake? Is this person trying to embezzle the iron ore?"

Zou Biao's expression immediately turned sour upon hearing Tang Xiyue's suspicions.

If it weren't for the fact that Tang's father had once saved his family's lives and had been helping him all these years, he would have been in trouble.

How could Zou Biao possibly do something as dangerous as illegally mining iron ore?

Now, this spoiled young lady actually suspects him!

This infuriated Zou Biao!
"Yueyue, don't talk nonsense. Zou Biao is your father's confidant and would never do anything to betray him!"

Tang's father immediately apologized to Zou Biao.

Then let Zou Biao go down and settle things first, and tell him the result after he has come up with it.

So Zou Biao left.

"Yueyue, are you really sure that no one else knows about that iron mine?" Tang's father asked.

"Father, it's absolutely true!" Tang Xiyue couldn't wait to tell her father about her past life.

But she knew she couldn't.

The so-called past life and rebirth are too bizarre.

She was afraid her father would think she was a monster!
"Something must have gone wrong here!" Tang Xiyue murmured.

At the same time, I was also a little panicked.

After all, this matter was beyond her control.

Could it be that someone else has also been reborn? And that's why they also learned about that iron mine?
Thinking of this, Tang Xiyue was secretly alarmed.

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Tang Xiyue was unwilling to accept this result.

Because in her opinion.

She felt that she was the one who was favored by heaven!

Only she deserves to be reborn!
No one else is qualified.

So what exactly is going on with this iron ore?

"Father, I can't figure it out either..." Tang Xiyue said dejectedly.

"In any case, now that the imperial court has taken over, we can no longer mine this iron mine, and we must not let the imperial court find out, otherwise..."

It's such a pity, it's only been mined for a short time!

That's an entire iron mine, with countless riches!

Mr. Tang was heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

However, the iron mine incident also made Tang's father suspicious of other things Tang Xiyue had said.

"Yueyue, are you sure that Cheng'an Prefecture will experience half a month of rain in a month and a half? Are you sure there will be a major flood?"
