The Regent's Koi Princess

Chapter 98: I will take care of the forces in the underworld

Jiang Che looked at her with a smile on his face: "I'm afraid that you will squander your fortune and won't be able to keep up with the speed at which I make money.

Xier, what you see is just the tip of the iceberg. There are also some real estate properties registered in the account book. I will show them to you."

Jiang Che let go of Lin Xi and went to a wooden cabinet.

There was a wooden box placed on top.

He took out the account book from the wooden box and handed it to Lin Xi. He said, "Look at it and you will understand how credible my words are."

Lin Xi's hands trembled slightly as he turned the yellowed account book. Each page was like a door leading to an unknown world, slowly opening.

Her eyes swept across the neat lines of handwriting, and her heart was filled with turmoil.

When the words "Qinyin Pavilion" came into her sight, she couldn't help but look up at the man in front of her. She was too surprised. She didn't expect that place was also a part of the man's territory.

No wonder Nanny Liu was so generous. It turned out that place was his private property, so he already knew that I was going to Qinyin Pavilion?

So he arranged everything in advance, so...

Ooooh!

Then, are all my actions exposed under his nose?

Then, the three words "Zhenbaozhai" made her pupils shrink suddenly. The business there was booming. It was conceivable how much money they could earn throughout the year.

She had always been wondering who the mysterious shopkeeper behind the scenes was, but she didn't expect it to be him. Wouldn't she have to spend money if she went there to eat in the future?

There were also some money houses, cloth shops, and pawn shops that she didn't know about, scattered throughout the prosperous areas of the imperial capital.

Every entry in the account book was like a stone thrown into the lake of her heart, causing ripples and making her realize that her understanding of this man was just the shallows under the tip of the iceberg.

She always thought that he was just a regent, but she didn't expect...

How many secrets does this man have that I don't know about?

Lin Xi's heartbeat and breathing accelerated synchronously. The account book in her hand seemed to be the key to open the door to a new world, leading her step by step towards Jiang Che's world that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

She couldn't believe that a man like Jiang Che would be so unreserved once he fell in love.

He revealed all his cards and gave them to her, the future princess who had no status and didn't even know where she came from.

To be able to do this, he must care about me a lot. How could I be so worthy to have such a good man?

After reading all the account books, Lin Xi lowered her eyes and sniffed. She has always been a rational person, but at this moment, she could no longer remain calm.

She slowly hugged the man's thin waist. If it wasn't for paving the way for her brothers and avenging the original owner, she would have agreed to marry him immediately.

However, the more this man treats her like this, the more she must make herself stronger and better, otherwise she will feel burdened.

As if he could guess what she was thinking, Jiang Che raised his hand and touched her head.

“Just do whatever you want to do. This prince and the palace will be your biggest supporters.

This king knows that Xier is absolutely unwilling to be mediocre, and you are not someone who can live a stable life.

If you trust me, just tell me what your plan is and we can plan it together.

besides……"

After the man finished speaking, he took out a token from his pocket and handed it to Lin Xi.

"Remember all the properties in the account book. No matter what you do, as long as you need silver, you can take my token and spend it anywhere."

She looked up at him and blinked, looking like a little fox: "You showed me all this, aren't you afraid that I will run away with your property? What if I have bad intentions? What if I am a spy sent from somewhere else?"

Jiang Che lowered his eyes and looked at her, chuckled and asked: "Would you? You don't want a man like me who has good looks, wealth, status, and power, what else do you want? Hmm?

Looking at the entire imperial capital, who can be compared with me? How can a little fox like you not understand what is more important? "

whee!

Even though her true identity was revealed, she remained calm.

"Well... isn't there a saying that goes, 'You should always be on guard against others'? If you do this, you are just waiting for me to cut you with the sword! If I strike you with the sword, all these properties will be mine alone."

"you will not."

A very affirmative tone.

Jiang Che put the account book back into the wooden box, took her hand, and turned to leave the dark room.

Chen Zheng had already prepared the meal, and after a simple meal, the two returned to the study and sat face to face.

In the quiet study, you can hear a pin drop and the air is filled with a faint scent of tea.

The man poured a cup and pushed it towards her and said, "Can you tell me your plan now?"

Lin Xi took a sip of tea, was silent for a while, and organized his words.

She looked at Jiang Che and said slowly: "Power struggles in official circles have always been endless, such as you and the little emperor.

It won't be long before the little emperor's coming-of-age ceremony arrives. By then, will he still be willing to be under your control like he is now?

Even if he was willing, what about those who had been supporting him behind the scenes? For example, his mother's family, such as Zuo Yushi Zhaozhoucheng.

You should know better than me about the relationship between Nan Jing and Zuo Yushi behind the poisoning of my grandfather last time.

What if he keeps trying to persuade the little emperor to fight with you for power? Do you have any reason to keep holding on to him?

And my grandfather, he seems to be partial to the eldest wife, but in fact he is just an old fox.

After all, no one of my father’s generation could be entrusted with important tasks in the entire Lin family, and the only one who caught his eye was my eldest brother.

If my eldest brother wasn't here, do you think my grandfather would still value the eldest branch so much?"

"So Xi'er wants to..."

the man asked her.

Lin Xi lowered his eyes, looked at the spinning teacup and continued.

"So far, my eldest brother has no achievements in government. He needs time to gain experience and more importantly, opportunities to grow.

I have to pave the way for my elder brother and find the right time to make him famous.

We also need to find a good marriage for him, after all, he is at the age to start a family.

As for my second brother, I will also try to pave the way for him.

You can't come forward to resolve this matter. Although my grandfather is on your side, some things will change if you come forward to resolve them.

You need to maintain a distance from the Prime Minister's Mansion that is neither too far nor too close. Otherwise, if the Prime Minister's Mansion is too conspicuous, it will become the primary target of those hidden forces.

After all, you are now in power. How can those bugs in the gutter allow you to continue to expand your influence?

You take care of the affairs of the court, and I will deal with the forces in the underworld.

Don't underestimate those martial arts sects. Those idle forces, once they are utilized, may not be inferior to the power in your hands."
