Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter XIII

"Of course, I want Your Highness to be mine from now on!" Qiao Anan whispered softly into Chu Haojue's ear.

"Ms. Qiao, have some self-respect!" Chu Haojue coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment. For some reason, he didn't hate Qiao Anan's approach.

"How much is that thing worth?" Qiao Anan said indifferently. Qiao Anan waved her hand and signaled Chun Tiao beside her.

Chuntao respectfully handed a few contracts to Qiao Anan.

Qiao Anan handed it to the second prince without even looking at it.

The Second Prince was puzzled. He didn't understand what this Miss Qiao was up to.

"Your Highness, why not take a look?" Qiao Anan held her chin with one hand, looking at Chu Haojue, thinking to herself, looking at handsome men is really good for physical and mental health!

Qiao Anan felt that her father was quite picky.

When I get back, I must give her father more of his favorite green tea.

"Ahem!" Chu Haojue felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Qiao Anan. Some of the noble ladies in the capital also liked to peek, but they were all very reserved. No one had ever stared at you as openly as this young lady from the Qiao family.

Chu Haojue took the contract in his hand and began to read it.

The contract was drawn up by Qiao Anan before she left the house. It basically meant that from now on, Chu Haojue could only have her as his principal wife and no other concubines.

As long as he can do it, Qiao Anan can give him 100,000 taels of silver every month in the future.

Chu Haojue thought to himself that he had to go to his father and beg for 50,000 taels of silver.

As long as he married this woman, he would have 100,000 taels of silver every month. Even if he deducted the expenses of the house, he would still have at least 50,000 taels of silver.

Thinking of this, Chu Haojue seemed to understand why his father wanted him to marry the young lady from the Qiao family.

Besides, although this young lady of the Qiao family is not like other noble ladies, she is very open and will definitely say what she wants to say directly, just like now.

She doesn't like to share a husband with other women, she will show her sincerity first.

I have to say, the conditions she offered were very tempting.

It just so happened that what Qiao Anan gave was what she wanted.

"Miss Qiao, are you sure? From now on, if it's just you..." Chu Haojue said this, and then he coughed a little embarrassedly and continued to ask, "Can you really give me 100,000 taels of silver every month?"

"Your Highness, the Second Prince, as long as you sign this contract, I will do what I say!" After Qiao Anan finished speaking, she took out her seal and stamped it on the contract to show her sincerity.

Chu Haojue watched and saw that Qiao Anan had shown her sincerity, so he signaled Eunuch Fu to take out his seal and stamp it on the contract!

Qiao Anan put away one contract with satisfaction and handed the other to Chu Haojue.

Chu Haojue didn't think that this was a loss for him. Although the prince could marry one principal wife, two concubines, four concubines, and countless maids, he didn't even have a maid in his house, let alone concubines.

All the money in the government office is used to subsidize the army, so where does the spare money come from to support a woman?

Besides, Chu Haojue thought, he was in the army all day long, how could he have the time to deal with so many women?

Qiao Anan gestured to Chuntao beside her.

Chuntao took out the 200,000 taels of silver notes that she had prepared long ago.

"Here, this is my betrothal gift!" Qiao Anan handed the banknote to Chu Haojue.

Qiao Anan thought to herself that this was called giving a slap in the face and then giving a date.

Chu Haojue looked at the two hundred thousand taels of silver notes excitedly at this moment, thinking that with these silver notes, the generals in the army would have enough winter clothes and winter boots, and even food and fodder for the future.

However, Chu Haojue did not hear the word "betrothal gift" clearly.

Eunuch Fu standing by stared with his eyes wide open!

I thought to myself, this Miss Qiao is really brave!

Giving His Highness a betrothal gift, doesn't that mean that his master wants to marry into his family?

In the whole world, the only person who can allow a prince to marry into the family is probably Miss Qiao.

"Since Your Highness has no objection, can I take a tour of the mansion?" Qiao Anan thought, this is where she will live in the future after all, so she must take a good look at it.

Is there any need for repair?

If the construction project is too big, it would be better to live in the Qiao family in the future!

"Take Miss Qiao for a walk!" Chu Haojue came back to his senses and said to Eunuch Fu beside him.

"No, no, Eunuch Fu, you can just find a servant to show me around." Qiao Anan said quickly.

At this time, Qiao Anan didn't know that there were only a few servants in this mansion.

"Let me take Miss Qiao for a walk!" Eunuch Fu did not explain, but thought to himself that he didn't know whether the housework in the mansion could be improved after Miss Qiao came into the mansion.

After all, when Miss Qiao went out, she not only brought two servants but also two maids. I guess there must be quite a few servants in the mansion on weekdays.

Qiao Anan was originally in a good mood, but the more she walked around, the deeper her frown became.

She was mentally prepared for the fact that the Second Prince's Mansion might not be wealthy.

But why, after walking around for a long time, she didn't see any servants?

"Eunuch Fu, it must be very tiring to clean the prince's mansion every day?" Qiao Anan asked with a smile.

"It's not hard, not hard!" Eunuch Fu thought to himself that this future female master really cared about him. Just think about it, he cleaned the house every day and was so tired that his back could hardly be straightened. Later, he simply cleaned only the yard where the master lived on a daily basis. The other yards were now basically covered with dust.

It's not that the master is unwilling to hire servants. The truth is, the master is also in the army on weekdays. Moreover, all the income from the master's property is used to subsidize the army. A few years ago, the Chu Yuan State was at war with the other two countries.

His master was the commander-in-chief of the army. The treasury was empty. In order to resist the invasion of other countries, he could only use the revenue from the mansion to subsidize the army. However, he did not expect that the more he tried to subsidize the army, the bigger the hole became.

This army is like a bottomless pit. The second prince originally had a lot of property, but now he has sold a lot of it.

In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, there is only one master in the mansion, His Highness. Now, in addition to the two people left in the kitchen, there are only two guards at the gate, and that is him.

Qiao Anan sighed and thought, this second prince is so stingy. He is a prince, but he is not willing to hire more servants!

Qiao Anan thought, it seems that from now on, the financial power of the mansion must not be handed over to him.

It’s okay to give some pocket money occasionally. Besides, men become bad when they have money!

She wanted to nip this possibility in the bud.

The Second Prince looked at Qiao An'an who had spent hundreds of thousands of taels of silver and thought that since his father couldn't take back the marriage anyway, he might as well hold on to Qiao An'an's big, thick legs.

"What? The second son wants to marry the daughter of the Qiao family?" The eldest prince Chu Haokuan was in disbelief when he heard this!
