Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 170

I am not the kind of person who changes his mind frequently.

"Hmph, if that's the case, shouldn't the extra two million taels of silver be the money you earned from selling your body? Did you give it to the emperor too?" Qiao Anan thought, two million taels of silver were compensation for her husband, but it turned out to be a bargain for the emperor. Logically, she should also have a share.

Suddenly I felt like I had suffered a huge loss.

"What my beloved concubine said seems to make sense." Chu Haojue frowned, thinking to himself that if he went back and told his father now, would he still give him the two million taels of silver since it was his own payment?

Chu Yuanming: Go away, don’t try to steal my money!

"Forget it!" Qiao Anan thought that since the emperor had accepted the silver, there would be no reason for him to return it, otherwise he would not have rewarded Chu Haojue with only 100,000 taels of silver.

It turns out that he is just being ungrateful after getting the advantage.

Qiao Zhencheng listened from the side and felt a little uncomfortable.

Why is it a waste of time and money to have a romantic relationship?

This son-in-law is lucky in love and can make a lot of money.

Thinking about it, he felt a little envious of his son-in-law.

Although he was not short of money, he felt that he lacked the opportunity to make a lot of money.

When Chu Yuanming heard the shadow guard report that the third prince of Xijing Kingdom was also hiding his identity and disguised as a guard of Xijing Kingdom, he was actually very excited.

He hoped that something would go wrong in Xijing Kingdom.

After all, the newly built treasury is still empty.

The Nanyue Kingdom donated one million taels of silver to fill the treasury of the Chuyuan Kingdom.

The rich people in Xijing Kingdom should make some contributions, right?

"Father, you said that the Third Prince of Xijing Kingdom is colluding with Princess Lin'an. Does that mean that Prince Lin'an has been colluding with Xijing Kingdom for a long time?" After hearing what the shadow guard said, the Crown Prince frowned and asked Chu Yuanming.

"Does the prince think that a King Lin'an can threaten our Chu Yuan Kingdom?" Chu Yuanming really did not take the King Lin'an seriously.

Besides, they had already deposited those treasures into the national treasury.

Nor can I be a help to those people.

"Your Majesty, I think that if the King of Lin'an was not to be feared in the past, but if he has been secretly recruiting soldiers in recent years, we still have to be on guard." The prince thought for a while and said.

"Your Highness, what do you think we should do with Princess Lin'an and the third prince of Naxijing?" Chu Yuanming looked at the prince again and asked.

"Father, I think we can put some worthless things at the entrance of the secret passage and let Princess Lin'an find them on purpose? And then spread the news..." The prince said with a malicious smile.

What he wanted to do was to let the Prince of Lin'an and the State of Xijing fight each other.

Make them turn against each other.

Aren't those the things they want to find?

I think they all thought those things were priceless. If Princess Lin'an really took out those worthless things, Xijing Kingdom would definitely think that Princess Lin'an had embezzled those things.

I think the two of them should have some grudges against each other because of this.

"The suburbs are not suitable. They must have been there many times." Chu Yuan shook his head clearly, thinking that the best place to hide those things should actually be the Second Prince's Mansion.

"Then where does Your Majesty think we should hide the things?" asked the prince.

"Since your second prince has returned, let's go visit the newly built Second Prince's Mansion tomorrow." Chu Yuanming thought that tomorrow they could go to the Second Prince's Mansion to see where is suitable to hide those things.

After all, those people had been planning to visit the Second Prince's Mansion.

The next day, when Chu Yuanming arrived at the Second Prince's Mansion, Chu Haojue and Qiao Anan were already waiting at the gate.

For some reason, Chu Yuanming felt that there was resentment in Chu Haojue's fearful eyes.

Chu Yuanming thought, I shouldn't have done anything to hurt the second brother, right?

"Have I done anything I shouldn't have done to the second brother recently?" Chu Yuanming asked the prince with some uncertainty.

"Father, why do you say that?" The prince was very puzzled when he heard this. Why would his father think like this?

Wait until he felt the resentful gaze of the Second Prince.

Well, he knew why his father was so frightened.

This look is really creepy.

"I always feel that the way the second brother looks at me is as if I owe him a lot." Chu Yuanming said with some guilt. In fact, he felt that he had been quite nice to the second brother recently.

He robbed a box of silver yesterday, but I was generous enough not to blame him.

"Father, you should know that the extra two million taels of silver that the Nanyue Kingdom paid as compensation was because of my second brother." The prince thought for a moment and told his thoughts truthfully.

After hearing this, Chu Yuanming could only touch his nose guiltily.

In this matter, he is his father, so he should collect the money on behalf of his son first.

Chu Yuanming and the Crown Prince entered the Second Prince's Mansion, but were intrigued by the gray walls.

The outer wall of the Second Prince's Mansion was completely different from the walls of ordinary wealthy families. Although it looked plain grey and not overly carved, Chu Yuanming felt it was quite solid when he gently pushed it.

Chu Yuanming couldn't help but nod secretly in his heart, and was very satisfied with the cement that Qiao Anan had mentioned to him before.

Sure enough, Qiao Anan never let herself down.

"Father, look at the color of this wall. Do you think it is different from ordinary city walls?" The prince said excitedly.

Chu Yuanming smiled slightly and said, "It's indeed different. This thing is very sturdy. Changfeng, go and try it."

Chu Yuanming said to his personal guard beside him with a smile.

"Yes!" Changfeng asked several people to carry a thick piece of wood and bang it against the wall.

The prince watching from the side had his heart in his throat, but Qiao Anan and Chu Haojue did not show any fear at all.

Although several people were holding a large piece of wood, they did not dare to use too much force.

However, when he rushed forward for the first time, he found that the wall did not move at all.

"Good! It is indeed extremely strong!" Chu Yuanming couldn't help but praise loudly when he saw it, with a satisfied light flashing in his eyes.

He turned to look at Qiao An'an and said with a smile, "An'an, your cement is really a good thing! My national treasury will definitely use your cement."

Qiao Anan smiled modestly and said, "It is my daughter-in-law's honor to be able to share the emperor's worries. Although this cement is good, it also requires the emperor's wise decision to maximize its effectiveness."

Chu Haojue was standing by. Seeing his father praising An An endlessly, he felt quite proud in his heart, but he remained calm on the surface. He said, "Father, this cement is not only very strong, but if it is promoted among the people and used for housing construction in the future, it will also greatly improve the living safety of the people."

Upon hearing this, Chu Yuanming nodded repeatedly and said, "Second Brother, what you said makes sense."

The four of them continued to visit the Second Prince's Mansion. Chu Yuanming was full of curiosity about every corner of the mansion, especially those corners built with cement, which made him praise them again and again.

The Crown Prince watched silently from the side, thinking about where would be the best place to hide those things in the Second Prince's mansion.
