The princess only wants to get rich and support her family

The 2,500 taels of gold sent by Xuanyuan Yuchuan just solved the urgent need of the couple. However, the expenses on the dam were relatively high, so most of it was taken away, and there was not much left.

Hu Luanfei re-planned the remaining 700 taels of gold and let Qi Siliao take almost all of it. He decided to carve out a territory for himself.

Menghu Mountain also surrounded the city, and it would cost a lot to build a city wall that was almost the same as the one in Beiqiu.

Qi Siriao, who came to stay temporarily at Zuihualou, went to East Street because of Hu Luanfei. He saw the planning plan on the table and couldn't help but look at it.

On the way back, Hu Luanfei saw that he was absorbed in watching the show and casually said, "Children's amusement parks are fun. It's easiest to make money from children."

Qi Siriao didn't respond to Hu Luanfei's words. He stared at the plan and replanned it a little bit. "I want to build a few houses here, so that the children can have a place to rest when they are tired from playing. What do you think?"

"This is exactly what I want, and I'm also thinking of selling some desserts and fruits inside, so that children can rest and eat when they are tired from playing. It really kills three birds with one stone."

Hu Luanfei raised his eyes while talking and laughing, and happened to meet Qi Siliao's bright eyes, as if he was looking at a rare treasure, his eyes were full of love and pride.

Hu Luanfei rarely saw Qi Siliao like this.

She was stunned for a moment, and before she could come to her senses, she felt something in her hair. Just as she raised her hand, he grabbed it and said, "It's worthless. I'll look at it later."

Hu Luanfei never liked to play by the rules. When ordinary women received gifts from their husbands, no matter how valuable they were or what polite words their husbands said, they would just say in a coquettish way, "I like anything you give me." But this was different for Hu Luanfei. When she heard that the gift was not a valuable one, she frowned and muttered, "I am cheap by nature. I don't deserve valuable things like gold and silver hairpins."

Inadvertently, my eyes fell on his hands.

He came in a hurry and the wound on his fingertips was not bandaged.

The red flesh of the wound was flipped over, exposed before her eyes.

Qi Siliao's hands were almost covered with wounds, old wounds followed by new wounds, and scabs that had cracked.

Hu Luanfei felt distressed when he saw this. He grabbed his hand and frowned, "Why are your hands getting more and more terrifying?"

Qi Si Liao tried to pull his hand back, but Hu Luan Fei refused to let him, "I have some medicine here..."

Qi Si Liao's hand shrank slightly, "I have a lot of things to do there, applying medicine will only slow down my work, don't bother with it."

"What is it that you have to do yourself?"

"There are many things I can help with."

"What about Jiang Shi? Doesn't he like to hang around you?"

When he mentioned Jiang, his hand hanging by his side curled slightly, "I went to supervise the dam with Jiang Yi and others."

"That guy is greedy and loves to play. Who knows where he goes, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er won't be able to find him."

Seeing Hu Luanfei gently talking about Jiang Shi's shortcomings, Qi Siliao curled his lips and said, "Do you know what you look like when you talk about Jiang Shi?"

Hu Luanfei was puzzled: "It's very normal."

An indescribable feeling of depression lingered in Qi Siliao's heart, making him feel as if he was no longer important in Hu Luanfei's heart.

"You smiled beautifully when you mentioned Jiang."

Just as he stopped talking, news about Jiang Shi reached the side room, "Your Majesty, Madam, it's bad, Jiang Shi got into trouble at the dam."

The door was opened forcefully, and Hu Luanfei appeared in front of Jiang Wu in the blink of an eye as if he had wings. "How is Jiang Shi?"

"Jiang Yi wrote to say that Jiang Shi was being held hostage by someone and couldn't escape."

"Then I have to go take a look."

Hu Luanfei walked out of Zuihua Tower at a quick pace, his heart dropping bit by bit.

When the customers around saw her like this, some thought it had nothing to do with them and pretended not to see anything, while others who were ignorant looked at her curiously.

Only Qi Siriao's face slowly darkened. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. This woman was so anxious after hearing that Jiang Shi was in trouble that she even forgot she was pregnant. Isn't she afraid of disturbing the fetus?

Qi Siliao knew that he should not be seen in this state in front of outsiders, so he consciously ran towards Hu Luanfei. After catching her, he scolded her angrily, but seeing her tearful appearance, his heart softened and he simply went to the dam with her to find out what was going on.

After an hour or two of bumpy ride, they soon arrived at the dam site and saw Jiang Yi and Jiang Er trying their best to comfort the two old ladies, while Jiang Shi stood by them without saying a word. There was also a crying young girl next to them, with round and beautiful cheeks.

Seeing them coming, Jiang Yi and Jiang Er seemed to have seen a savior, and hurried over to report: "Master, Jiang Shi this kid... Oh!"

When Jiang Yi saw Jiang Shi's attitude of neither defending himself nor begging for mercy, he became so angry that he was speechless.

Qi Siliao went to find out the cause of the incident, while Hu Luanfei went to comfort Jiang Shi.

"Are you stupid?" Hu Luanfei patted Jiang Shi gently.

Jiang Shi's pupils gradually focused, and when he saw who was coming, he was dazed and uttered only two words: "Help me."

As he spoke, he calmly pulled the girl next to him over. The girl was crying with tears and snot.

Jiang Shi said to the girl, "Don't cry, she will make the decision for you."

"What's going on?" Hu Luanfei's eyes fell on the girl.

The girl fell to her knees with a plop, sobbing, "Please, Madam, I will not live otherwise."

"It's so serious!" Hu Luanfei tried to pull her up, but the girl was very stubborn and remained kneeling no matter how he pulled her.

"Madam, Ah Zhu only wants to be with Brother Jiang Shi in this life. I don't want anyone else to marry me. If I can't get what I want in this life, Ah Zhu will have to hit my head against that big tree stump and die."

Hu Luanfei glanced at Jiang Shi. He still had that dazed look on his face, as if whatever happened to Ah Zhu had nothing to do with him.

Hu Luanfei pulled her and said, "Get up first. You are willing to marry him and he is willing to marry you. This is a good thing. Why can't I make the decision? Right, Jiang Shi."

"Ah?" Jiang Shi reacted slowly and said "um", meaning he agreed.

The people who know Jiang Shi best are Qi Siriao and his brothers. They have watched Jiang Shi grow up, and they know exactly what kind of person Jiang Shi is. He will never do anything to bring shame to the family.

Qi Siriao had already understood the cause of the incident.

Ah Zhu was originally a maid in a wealthy family. One day, she was playing in the garden with the lady of the mansion and was noticed by the master. He ordered that Ah Zhu be taken as his thirteenth concubine.

For a maid, being taken as a concubine by the master is a wonderful thing, but the master can be Azhu's great-grandfather, and Azhu is only eighteen years old. It is obvious that a fresh flower is being ruined by an old man.

Ah Zhu naturally refused to do so. During the shift change, she covered her mouth and staggered out, suppressing her grievances. Finally, she reached a deserted place. She didn't mind the dirt on the ground, and sat down under a big tree and burst into tears.

Who knew that while she was crying, she heard a curious voice coming from above: "Hey, why are you crying? Tell me."

Ah Zhu was stunned, and looked up with misty eyes. The tree trunk shook a few times, and pink petals fell down. A young man in black clothes, about her age, jumped down, his long hair tied high fluttering in the wind, stained with a few pink spots.
