"Your Majesty is truly merciful. He even allowed the former Crown Princess to return home to visit her parents."

"Not only the previous Crown Princess, but also the previous Emperor's concubines and imperial concubines have approved it."

"Really? How do you know such things?"

"Nowadays, families with daughters or sisters in the palace have begun to build separate houses for their relatives to visit. My son happens to be a carpenter, so he was recruited to do it."

"Going so far to the capital to build a house for the queen, the wages should be quite high."

"Of course, this is the number every day."

Shen Jiaojiao walked past the village entrance, listened to the conversation between the women, closed her eyes, calmed down her heart, and walked towards home.

"You're back."

In the inconspicuous little courtyard, Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the man sitting in the wheelchair and walked into the kitchen carrying a basket.

"I'm going to cook first."

Jiang Rang looked at her cold expression, and a dark look flashed across his eyes.

Finally, his eyes fell on his numb legs.

He was sentenced to exile, but was unwilling to be a slave for the rest of his life, so he managed to escape during exile. The price he paid was that he could never get up and walk again.

She reunited with Shen Jiaojiao a year ago. At that time, she felt very guilty towards him, so she took the initiative to take care of his life and asked a carpenter to make a wheelchair for him.

"Have you heard that all the nearby craftsmen have been asked to build the villa?" Jiang Rang asked as he slid his wheelchair to the kitchen door.

Without waiting for Shen Jiaojiao to answer, he continued, "It's a pity that I can't do business now, otherwise I would have stocked up on the things needed for building the house first, and I would definitely be able to sell them at a high price and make a fortune."

Shen Jiaojiao raised her head from behind the stove and saw Jiang Rang's bright eyes. Deep in his eyes was an unremovable hatred.

"Okay, Jiang Rang, stop thinking about those useless things." Shen Jiaojiao sighed deeply, "I gave you so much capital this year, but you didn't get a penny back. You are no longer the Jiang Rang you used to be. Stop thinking about making money."

When she left the capital, she took with her enough money for her and her son to live a worry-free life for the rest of their lives.

But after meeting Jiang Rang, in order to make up to him, he gave him most of his money and let him do business.

But within half a year, Jiang Rang lost all his money.

"Shen Jiaojiao, how do you know I can't? I gave you so much money before, you didn't really think that it was earned from your crappy soap?" Jiang Rang asked with a cold snort.

Growing up among beggars, he could become the richest man in the country. Now he just can't walk, but he can still make a comeback.

"It's up to you. I won't give you any more money anyway." Shen Jiaojiao didn't want to continue arguing with Jiang Rang.

If she could go back to a year ago, she would never take the initiative to take care of him out of any guilt.

Even if his merchant ship brought back contraband because he was framed by someone else, it had nothing to do with her. It was not her who framed him, nor was it her who sentenced him to exile.

"Shen Jiaojiao, I misjudged you. I didn't expect you to be such a petty-minded woman." Before, I thought she didn't care about money and was a noble woman who regarded money as dirt.

I didn't expect that nowadays I am no different from those vulgar women, haggling over a few cents.

"Daddy and Mommy, why are you arguing again?"

The little boy ran in and saw that both of them had tense expressions and the air was filled with tension, and asked.

"We didn't quarrel. Linlin, go play by yourself over there. We can eat later." Shen Jiaojiao said with a smile.

When they met again a year ago, Jiang Rang did not have the same attitude. After they came to this village, they settled down as a couple and had files and documents with the government.

At that time, Linlin began to remember things and believed that Jiang Rang was his father.

As a result, Shen Jiaojiao couldn't separate from Jiang Rang even now and could only find a way to hide her money.

When Jiang Rang was the richest man in the past, he didn't care about giving more dividends to Shen Jiaojiao. He even went to great lengths to find some rare and fresh treasures from all over the place to please her.

But now that I’m down and out, there’s no more romance as before.

Yun Yi knew everything about Shen Jiaojiao.

When Jiang Rang escaped, the news reached the capital and the emperor ordered people to capture him, but the previous emperor had just passed away and the emperor was too busy.

Besides, Jiang Rang was just a prisoner and was no longer the richest man he used to be, let alone Lu Chengchuan's money bag, so he didn't take it to heart.

But Yun Yi was always paying attention, and naturally knew that Jiang Rang and Shen Jiaojiao had reunited.

Originally, I thought that after leaving Beijing, Shen Jiaojiao would only face the difficulty of raising a child, but unexpectedly, she took on a big trouble on her own initiative.

When the two became siblings, they were deeply in love with each other. But in just a few short years, have they reached the point where they are sick of each other?

“A poor couple has many worries.” Money is not everything, but it can solve 99 percent of the problems in life.

"Brother is right," Yunling walked in and poured himself a cup of cold tea. He tilted his head back and drank it in one gulp. This slightly relieved the heat brought in from outside.

"Where have you been? Is there no water to drink outside?" Yun Yi asked with a slight frown.

Yun Ling waved his hand and said, "Don't mention it. I invited my friends to dinner at the restaurant, and just as I came out, I was blocked by the Li family. It took me a long time to get back."

"Li family? Which Li family?"

"Which Li family? The family of Concubine Li in the palace." Yun Ling poured himself another cup of tea and took a big sip. "Concubine Li wants to go home to visit her parents, but the Li family has no money to build a separate courtyard. Lord Li wants to pawn his wife's jewelry, but Madam Li refused and so there was a commotion."

"But logically speaking, the Li family is not a poor family. How come they can't even afford to build a villa?"

Yun Ling was puzzled, while Yun Yi touched his nose embarrassedly.

We can’t afford to build a villa, of course, because the raw materials for building houses have gone up in price.

He and Prince Ling went to sea this time and bought many rare woods such as golden nanmu from Annan, Fusu and other countries at low prices. Of course, their purpose was to make a fortune when the concubines in the harem came to visit their parents.

After all, the court has strict regulations on the imperial residence for imperial relatives.

If you monopolize resources, you can make as much profit as you want.

However, Yun Yi only took a small part of the money. As the Minister of Revenue, he certainly had to consider the country, and filling the national treasury was his duty.

In addition, I heard that many people went to borrow money from King Ling after knowing that he made money from selling fireworks, and of course, interest was required.

However, it seems that the emperor has recently taken a fancy to this way to make money and wants to lend money in the name of the Ministry of Revenue.

But this is a matter between them as brothers. After the emperor convinces Prince Ling, he will naturally give him orders, and he just needs to obey them.

"Don't think about other people's affairs. You and Miss Chen will get engaged in two days. Think about what gift you should prepare for Miss Chen."
