Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 20

"Oh? How much is the bill?" Tong suddenly became alert and asked quickly.

"When I heard it, it seemed to be more than 200,000 taels. I don't know the exact amount. When I heard this, I hurried to find my mother." When Lin Huiran heard this, she understood. In this matter, her stepmother would probably support her.

Actually, this wasn't her fault.

However, if she were to fall into the trap, Lin Ruyi would inevitably turn around and take revenge on herself.

Lin Huiran's wedding with Brother Zixuan was approaching, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.

However, Lin Ruyi was really shocked by the fact that she had smashed someone else's belongings worth hundreds of thousands of silver taels.

At this moment, she could only pray secretly that this matter would not affect her marriage.

"What? More than two hundred thousand taels!" Tong couldn't sit still after hearing that.

More than 200,000 taels? This is not 200 taels, 2,000 taels, but 200,000 taels. It will definitely affect their second house.

"Manager Wang, you said these things were dropped by the eldest daughter of my family. Do you have any evidence?" Butler Qin was now looking at the remnants of so many things and he was not calm at all.

"Butler Qin, there were quite a few customers in the store at that time, and they all saw it with their own eyes! It doesn't matter if your Lin family doesn't want to admit it. We not only brought a copy of the bill to the Lin family, we also sent a copy to the Jingzhao prefect!" Shopkeeper Wang said bluntly.

When Butler Qin heard that it was the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor, he actually breathed a sigh of relief. Others might not know, but he knew that the Jingzhao Prefecture Governor Yu Hongkang was their master's man, and that his eldest daughter was about to marry Yu Jinghua, the eldest son of the Yu family.

"I'm sorry, Manager Wang, our Lin family doesn't recognize this account!" After Butler Qin said this, he signaled to the servants to ask Manager Wang and others to leave.

After the eldest prince accompanied Chu Yuqing back from South City, he heard that Lin Ruyi had smashed Nong Yuxuan to pieces.

"Let's go to the Qiao family!" Chu Haokuan was very excited. This was really like someone giving him a pillow when he was sleepy.

Originally, he was worried that he couldn't get Qiao Anan to agree to be his concubine.

Now it seems that the opportunity has come.

As long as Qiao Anan agrees to be his concubine, he will have her at his disposal from now on.

He helped Qiao Anan to ask for compensation from the Lin family. After all, more than 200,000 taels of silver was a huge sum of money.

Thinking of this, Chu Haokuan hurried to the Qiao family.

When Qiao Anan returned to the Qiao family, Qiao Zhencheng quickly stepped forward and asked, "I heard that someone went to Nong Yuxuan to cause trouble today?"

Qiao Zhencheng was wondering whether he should go to the emperor for help in seeking justice.

After all, their family now has strong backing.

"Yeah, it's okay." Qiao Anan didn't take it to heart. Anyway, no one would smash the things in the shop for nothing.

However, she was also mentally prepared that it might not be so easy to get the money back.

However, she naturally had no intention of swallowing the bitter pill.

Although she is the eldest daughter of the Lin family, so what?

If you damage her things, you should compensate her.

Even if she were to talk about this matter in front of the emperor, she would be the one who was right.

"My daughter, we won't suffer in silence. If we can't solve it, you must tell daddy!" Qiao Zhencheng really liked going to the palace to find the emperor.

At this moment, the doorman rushed in.

"Master, the eldest prince wants to see you." The doorman said anxiously.

"The eldest prince?" Qiao Zhencheng was puzzled. Why would the eldest prince come to their house for no reason?

Qiao Anan thought that in later generations, she had seen the princes fighting for the throne. Could it be that the eldest prince wanted to win over their Qiao family?

"Dad, the eldest prince wouldn't want our Qiao family to take a stand, right?" Qiao Anan asked a little worriedly. After all, it would be better for their Qiao family not to get involved in such matters.

Besides, for the Qiao family, what difference does it make who is the emperor?

Since the Qiao family had no title to inherit, Qiao Zhencheng only had a cheap daughter like him.

Moreover, from her point of view, her parents didn't seem to have any plans to have a second child.

It’s better not to think about things like relying on the dragon’s grace.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Qiao Zhencheng rolled his eyes at his daughter and thought to himself that if he really had to stand, he would stand on the side of his son-in-law, the Second Prince.

After all, the second prince is his son-in-law, and he is one of his own.

"What is the eldest prince doing here?" Qiao Anan asked with a frown.

Qiao Anan suddenly remembered that she had met the eldest prince at Deyue Tower today, and she had a bad feeling in her heart.

"Dad, I'll step aside for a moment." Qiao Anan said, then slipped into the inner room.

Although she is a businesswoman, there are people she doesn't want to see.

"Your humble servant greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a thousand years, a thousand years, and a thousand thousand years!" Qiao Zhencheng quickly bowed to Chu Haokuan.

"Mr. Qiao, please don't be so polite!" Chu Haokuan looked around and didn't see Qiao Anan, which made him unhappy.

A merchant's daughter actually wanted to do something to him.

"I wonder if the Emperor has any intention for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to come to the mansion?" Qiao Zhencheng asked in a puzzled manner.

It was also a sideways reminder to the eldest prince that he still had some dignity in front of the emperor.

"Yes, there is something. I wonder if Miss Qiao is at home?" Chu Haokuan looked like he was saying, "I have something to talk about, but I only want to talk to Miss Qiao."

"Your Highness, please forgive me. I was not feeling well, so I did not come out to pay my respects to Your Highness." Qiao Zhencheng had an illusion in his heart. Why did this guy seem to be coming for An An?

But now, the emperor has issued an edict that An An is his sister-in-law.

"Oh? Miss Qiao is sick? Then I have to go see Miss Qiao." Chu Haokuan put down the teacup in his hand and was about to go to the backyard to see Qiao Anan.

"Your Highness..." Qiao Zhencheng wanted to say that there were differences between men and women, which was inappropriate, but then he thought that his family was a merchant family, and An An would go out to discuss business with others on weekdays, so they didn't care about these things.

If the eldest prince accuses their Qiao family of deceiving the emperor, it will be enough to make them suffer.

Qiao Anan, who was in the inner room, knew that the eldest prince was probably coming for her. She sighed inwardly and hurried out through the side door.

But Qiao Anan was puzzled. She shouldn't have offended the eldest prince, right?

I wonder what the eldest prince wants to see me for?

"I heard that the eldest prince came to the mansion. An An failed to welcome him in person. Please forgive me, Your Highness!" Qiao An An walked into the front hall from outside with a smile, and then bowed to the eldest prince slowly.

"This humble lady greets His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. May you live a thousand years, a thousand thousand years!"

"Miss Qiao, please stand up!" The eldest prince looked at Qiao Anan's pretty face and couldn't help thinking that such a beautiful girl should be worthy of him.

Qiao Anan stood up and took a step back politely.

Keep a safe distance from the eldest prince.
