Yixiu is reborn, fights against her elder sister, and becomes the queen mother

Zhou Xiuniang observed Yixiu's expression calmly and thought that it was not because of the things between her and the prince, so it would be easy to deal with.

"I am a humble woman, without talent or virtue. It is a blessing for me to marry Doctor Wen. How could I dare to dream of participating in the selection?"

Yixiu waved her hand, signaling Huichun to take all the palace maids and eunuchs in the room out, as she wanted to talk to Zhou Xiuniang alone about something.

After several attempts, Yixiu roughly guessed Zhou Xiuniang's character. Seeing that she was also a smart person, she decided not to beat around the bush anymore.

Zhou Xiuniang saw that everyone had left, leaving only herself and Jianqiu, who was serving beside Yixiu, and she knew that the Queen was going to tell her about the divorce with Doctor Wen.

She remained calm, prepared to remain unchanged in the face of any changes.

Although he has gained many connections over the years, they are like ants and elephants in front of the imperial power. They can be trampled to death with just a slight lift of the imperial power.

Yixiu asked, "Doctor Wen told me that he plans to divorce you. I wonder what you think about this."

Zhou Xiuniang quickly knelt on the ground, lowered her brows slightly, and said with a slightly sad look:

"I am guilty, and I beg the Empress to punish me. I have no talent or virtue, and that is why my husband despises me. My being despised is a minor matter, but this marriage was personally arranged by the Empress, and in less than a year, my husband wants to divorce me. I have truly failed the Empress's efforts."

Zhou Xiuniang was born with a heroic air, and if you look closely, you can see that she has a beauty that is difficult to tell whether she is male or female.

Yixiu didn't expect that she would kneel on the ground and tell her story in such a aggrieved manner. She is really adaptable and a real character!

Yixiu lowered her head and looked at her, her voice low, "Although this marriage was arranged by me, you still have to live your life together. It would be a shame to end up with a couple who are at odds with each other, as that would only make me the one to blame. If you and him have no feelings for each other, then I will make the decision and let you two divorce."

Seeing Zhou Xiuniang remained silent, Yixiu continued, "As a woman, you have built such a large family business on your own. I think you are quite ambitious. I am not an unreasonable person. When it comes to marriage, it is better for men and women to agree on their own terms."

Yixiu now wants to tell Zhou Xiuniang openly that I have already found out your background. There is no need to play tricks on me now. Just say what you think.

Although I am the queen, I am not unreasonable. As long as your request is reasonable, I will do my best to solve it for you.

Zhou Xiuniang thought about it again and again, and finally knelt on the ground and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty, please be merciful. It is true that there is no love between me and Doctor Wen, but I really cannot divorce him now.

The rules of this world are always unfair to women. I am a poor person. My biological mother died when I was young. In order to find a living under my stepmother, I had no choice but to work outside like men to earn a living, so that I would not be controlled by others and my life and death would be decided by others.

It's just that as I get older, women always have to get married. My parents-in-law in the Wen family are amicable, and although Doctor Wen doesn't like me, he hasn't deliberately made things difficult for me. Of course, all this is thanks to the Queen's grace. If I divorce Doctor Wen now, I won't be able to transfer all my assets. If I leave them in the capital, I'm afraid..."

Yixiu understood the meaning of her words. She herself had been tortured by the Jueluo family in the past, so she naturally knew the bitterness and helplessness involved.

At the same time, Yixiu became more and more disgusted with the Zhou family. Instead of doing their business, the whole family had to lie on a woman and suck her blood. It was disgusting.

"This isn't a big deal, and I understand your difficulties. However, since you and Doctor Wen don't have any romantic feelings for each other, it doesn't make any difference whether you divorce a few days earlier or later. As for your properties, I will find a way to help you transfer them."

Zhou Xiuniang was overjoyed. She hadn't expected the Empress to be so easy to talk to. After all, given the Empress's status, even if she didn't help her, a decree from the Wen family would force her to divorce, not just divorce.

This time, she gave Yi Xiuxing a great gift with all her heart and respect.

"I thank the Queen for her compassion. I will never forget your kindness. If you need me in the future, I will repay you wholeheartedly."

Yixiu saw that she was acting steadily and felt that she was a useful person, so she said:

"I see that you have a cheerful personality, which suits my temperament. I wonder if you are willing to work for me in the future."

Although merchants are ranked last among the four classes of people, no one in the world can resist money.

Yixiu had been the queen for two generations, so she naturally knew the situation of the national treasury. If Zhou Xiuniang was really useful, she would be willing to promote her. The country is such a big market, so whoever makes money will make money.

Instead of letting those merchants give all the silver to corrupt officials, it is better to take the silver yourself and pave a way for your son's future.

Zhou Xiuniang was stunned for a moment. She even dared to raise her head, looked at Yixiu and asked:

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, are you serious?"

Merchants have been looked down upon since ancient times. It was even more difficult for her to do business in the early years because she had no backing. If the Queen Mother made decisions for her, wouldn't her business be bigger and bigger in the future?

Yixiu said with a half-smile: "As the mother of a country, I will naturally keep my word."

Zhou Xiuniang also quickly promised Yixiu, "If the Empress is willing, I will... I will give 20%, no, 30% of the annual profits to the Empress."

Zhou Xiuniang had a long-term vision. Although she would definitely earn less money by offering so much silver to the Queen, it would be very convenient for her to do things this way and it would also be easier to expand the market.

Going to a place to do business is not just about choosing a shop and a place, but also about taking care of local officials. There are countless twists and turns involved. Those officials may take your money and not do your job, or they may even turn around and swallow up your property.

But if the Queen Mother could make the decision, he wouldn't have to worry about these things anymore. He might even be able to sit on the throne of the Imperial Merchant in the future, which is a great honor for a businessman.

"We'll discuss these matters later. If you're interested in cooperating with me, I'll write a letter of recommendation for you to Lord Su. He'll be responsible for all matters outside the palace."

Zhou Xiuniang nodded, "I understand. I will obey the Queen's arrangements in everything. As long as the Queen can make the decision for me, that's all."
