Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

"I graciously allow you to see me without showing formalities in the future!" Chu Yuanming said again.

"I thank the emperor for his great grace!"

Qiao Zhencheng bowed deeply to Chu Yuanming again.

"My dear Qiao, is there something wrong with your visit to the palace today?" Chu Yuanming asked again with a headache.

"I beg Your Majesty to take charge of my poor daughter!" Qiao Zhencheng said, bowing deeply again.

"Alright, alright, didn't I tell you not to be so polite? Stand up and talk!" Chu Yuanming was also a little upset, feeling that Qiao Zhencheng was deliberately insulting him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" This time, Qiao Zhencheng stood up obediently and had no intention of continuing to kneel. After all, kneeling over and over again was very tiring.

"Tell me, what happened to the second son's wife?" Chu Yuanming asked pretending to be ignorant.

He didn't say what happened to Miss Qiao, but he just made his attitude clear: Qiao Anan was the second daughter-in-law he had his eyes on.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince is visiting our house today..." Qiao Zhencheng said, stealing a glance at Chu Yuanming, fearing that Chu Yuanming would get angry and bring disaster to the entire Qiao family.

After all, there is a precedent in history. If the second prince fights for a woman, that woman will be executed.

When Qiao Zhencheng thought of this, he felt a little regretful for rashly going to the palace to ask the emperor for the decision.

"Well, what did the boss do at your house?" Chu Yuanming's words did not reveal his joy or anger.

But at this moment, Qiao Zhencheng felt even more uncertain. However, now that the words were out, there was no room for maneuver.

I might as well just give up.

"Your Majesty, the eldest prince said that he wants my daughter An An to be his concubine. Your Majesty, my daughter and I are guilty. Your Majesty has already granted my daughter a marriage with His Royal Highness the Second Prince. Now, the eldest prince has come to the mansion to ask for her hand in marriage. I am really scared!" Qiao Zhencheng said with a sad face.

"Nonsense!" Chu Yuanming was so angry when he heard Qiao Zhencheng talk about this again that he slammed the table.

Chu Yuanming was really angry about this matter.

He didn't believe that the eldest brother didn't know that he had arranged a marriage between Miss Qiao Er and the second brother.

Humph, the boss still rushes to beg, what is he thinking!

Thinking about the Qiao family’s wealth that rivals a country.

Chu Yuanming guessed that his eldest son might have some inappropriate thoughts.

"Your Majesty, if the Chuyuan Kingdom cannot accommodate our Qiao family, please expel our Qiao family to another country! I only have An An as my child, and I absolutely cannot bear the pain of seeing a young person send off their loved one!" Qiao Zhencheng said with tears in his eyes again.

"Don't worry, my dear Qiao. This is not your fault. How could I bear to expel you from Chu Yuan State? It is our honor to have people like you." Chu Yuanming said quickly. Are you kidding? Expel the Qiao family to another country?

He is not stupid. As long as the Qiao family is still in Chuyuan Kingdom, they will definitely support Chuyuan Kingdom. If the Qiao family goes to other countries and helps other countries attack their Chuyuan Kingdom, they are afraid that they will be powerless to resist.

After all, the Qiao family's wealth is not comparable to their national treasury.

Moreover, among so many wealthy businessmen in Chuyuan Kingdom, only the Qiao family could donate one million taels to the national treasury.

"Your Majesty, the common people are in a panic!" Qiao Zhencheng knew at this time that Chu Yuanming would not blame them for this matter.

However, whether the emperor would punish the eldest prince was not something that a commoner like him should be concerned about.

Qiao Zhencheng then thought, since he has entered the palace, he must not miss any opportunity to file a complaint.

The eldest prince has already been sued, so the Lin family won’t be any different.

"Your Majesty, I have another matter I would like to ask Your Majesty to decide for the Qiao family!" Qiao Zhencheng requested again.

"My dear Qiao, you say something." Chu Yuanming thought to himself, I wonder who is so unlucky as to end up in the Qiao family.

"Your Majesty, today the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruyi, went to the Nong Yuxuan of the Qiao family and smashed 255,600 taels of jewelry and other things. I beg Your Majesty to seek justice for the Qiao family." Qiao Zhencheng said quickly.

"What?" Chu Yuanming couldn't sit still after hearing this. Two hundred and fifty thousand taels!

Didn’t Lin Qi say that his family was very poor?

He was so poor, yet he could actually destroy someone else's things worth 250,000 taels of silver!

If we give 250,000 taels of silver to the disaster victims, how many families can be saved?

"Your Majesty, since the Lin family has destroyed my Qiao family's things and is not willing to compensate, Your Majesty, please stand up for the Qiao family!" Qiao Zhencheng said, then knelt down and cried again.

"Don't worry, my dear Qiao. I will naturally seek justice for your Qiao family in this matter." Chu Yuanming secretly cursed the Lin family for being a spendthrift. It was a good thing that he didn't marry such a daughter-in-law to his son. Otherwise, ten second princes' mansions would not be enough for her to squander!

Jingzhao Prefecture Governor

"Sir, the Qiao family has sent a petition." The bailiff walked in with a petition.

"What petition?" Yu Hongkang glanced at his subordinate indifferently. After all, countless petitions were sent to the Jingzhao prefect every day, which was not surprising.

"Sir, it was the Qiao family who sued the eldest daughter of the Lin family for going to Nong Yuxuan, which was owned by the Qiao family, and damaging things worth 255,600 taels of silver. It seems that the Lin family has no intention of paying compensation." The bailiff said with a nervous look on his face.

"How much silver is this thing worth?" Yu Hongkang stood up and asked in disbelief.

"Sir, it's something worth 255,600 taels of silver." The bailiff repeated it again!

"Which Lin family?" Yu Hongkang, could it be the Lin family he thought it was?

At this moment, Yu Hongkang was in a state of panic. If it was really the Lin family, then the marriage between Miss Lin and his eldest son Jinghua...

Yu Hongkang thought that if he had such a troublesome daughter-in-law in the future, his Yu family, even if they had a fortune, would probably not be able to withstand such a torment.

"Sir, this is Prime Minister Lin's residence." The bailiff said quickly.

"Give me the petition!" Yu Hongkang picked up the petition and went to the Lin family without thinking.

Hayashiya

"Master, Lord Yu, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture, requests to see you!" At this time, the servant of the Lin family said to Lin Qi who was in the study.

"Why don't you invite Lord Yu in?" Lin Qi thought that Yu Hongkang was here to discuss the marriage between Lin Ruyi and Yu Hongkang's eldest son, so he quickly asked someone to invite Yu Hongkang in.

Yu Hongkang, dressed in official uniform, hurried into Lin Qi's study.

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister, I have something to talk to you about in private." Yu Hongkang looked at the servants in the study and said stiffly.

Although Lin Qi had doubts in his mind, he still dismissed the servants.

"Prime Minister, please take a look at this." After the servants left, Yu Hongkang took out the petition from his arms and handed it to Lin Qi.

"What is this?" Lin Qi asked in confusion, thinking, could it be a secret report from somewhere?

"Your Excellency the Prime Minister will know after you take a look!" Yu Hongkang was nervous at this moment, not knowing how to tell this to Lin Qi.

I wanted to refuse to marry such a daughter-in-law, but I didn't dare to say it out loud. I felt like I had eaten bitter medicine.
