Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter

"Second brother, I heard that you have something to ask me?" Chu Yuanming was very curious. Besides asking him for military pay, what else could the second prince ask him for?

"Please ask your Majesty to make the decision for the Qiao family!" Chu Haojue said while kneeling in front of Chu Yuanming.

"Huh? Qiao family?" Chu Yuanming didn't expect that the second brother came to the palace to find him, but he was making decisions for the Qiao family.

"Father, you don't know that the eldest daughter of the Lin family went to the Qiao family shop today and smashed everything in the shop." Chu Haojue complained with a look of grievance.

Chu Yuanming was surprised when he saw his son complaining to him. You know, at that time, the treasury was empty and there was no money. The second son gritted his teeth and sold the valuable things in the mansion to subsidize all the soldiers in the army.

He knew about this and felt guilty about it, but he was powerless to do anything as the Three Kingdoms were constantly at war.

He thought at the time that the second son was his own son, and this was the cause and effect that he, as a prince, should bear.

He also thought that when there was money in the national treasury, he would definitely give it to the second brother.

However, apart from coming to ask for military pay, the second brother never mentioned the plight of the prince's mansion.

Now, he is willing to beg me for help for the Qiao family.

I think, Second Brother, you should be satisfied with the girl from the Qiao family, right?

"Second brother, have you met the girl from the Qiao family?" Chu Yuanming did not ask whether he would make the decision for the Qiao family or not, but instead asked another irrelevant question.

"Your Majesty, I have met him!" Chu Haojue felt that this was no secret, so he told the truth.

"Isn't the wife your father chose for you a good one?" Chu Yuanming asked with a smile.

"Your Majesty, I thank you for finding such a good princess for you!" How could Chu Haojue be dissatisfied with Qiao Anan? Now, from the palace to the army, everyone respects Qiao Anan very much.

"Well, don't worry. I will definitely take care of the Qiao family's matter for her." Chu Yuanming thought. Whether it was because the Qiao family contributed the one hundred taels of silver, or because his son was about to marry the girl, as a father, he should do his part.

"Your son thanks the emperor on behalf of the Qiao family!" Chu Haojue knew that although his father was quite stingy with him when it came to money, he would definitely do what his father promised. After all, a king's word is his bond.

"How much silver did the girl from the Lin family break?" Chu Yuanming didn't intend to ask. He thought it was probably just a minor quarrel. Lin Ruyi was probably dissatisfied with the marriage he had arranged between the second son and the young lady from the Qiao family, so she was venting her anger.

It was a harmless matter. He just needed to ask the Lin family to pay some money as compensation and the matter would be over.

"Your Majesty, Miss Lin smashed all the ornaments, counters, tables and chairs in the Nong Yuxuan shop. The owner of Nong Yuxuan has calculated that the total cost is 255,603 taels of silver." Chu Haojue said quickly, cursing Lin Ruyi in his heart, calling her a spendthrift!

"How much did you say?" Chu Yuanming, who had been very calm, was no longer calm at this moment. More than 200,000 taels, how many things would have to be smashed to be worth so much silver?

More than 200,000 taels, if given to the soldiers, would be enough to sustain the military camp for a long time.

If they had this silver to make stronger weapons, they would not have to fear the attacks from the other two countries.

"Father, the total is two hundred and fifty-five thousand six hundred and three taels of silver!" Chu Haojue repeated.

"Nonsense! This is how Lin Qi educates his granddaughter! Humph, do you have any objections to my order?" Chu Yuanming was so angry that he broke the Wolf Howl Pen in his hand.

"Your Majesty!" Eunuch Li looked at Chu Yuanming's hand worriedly.

"You go back first! I will give an explanation to the Qiao family about this matter." Chu Yuanming waved his hand in annoyance, wanting Chu Haojue to leave quickly.

"Father, when will you give me an explanation? You haven't solved the problem of my eldest brother stealing my wife last time!" Chu Haojue said unwillingly.

Chu Yuanming choked. She had forgotten about this!

"Okay, okay, I will send some skinny horses to your brother tomorrow!" Chu Yuanming waved his hand and said. Since the eldest brother wanted to marry a concubine, he would give her both concubines.

"Father, I think two are too few!" Chu Haojue thought, since the eldest prince wants concubines, he should send him a few concubines.

"Okay, pick two more for him!" Chu Yuanming thought, since his son was offended by his eldest son, there would be no problem in taking revenge.

But he was curious about what kind of people the second brother would choose for the eldest brother.

Lin Qi's final decision was that they should ignore this matter for the time being, and after a long time, everyone would forget about it.

Even if the Qiao family wanted to file a complaint with the government, no government office would dare to accept the case as long as Lin Qi was in charge.

However, Lin Qi still punished Lin Ruyi by making him kneel in the ancestral hall.

Although Tong was unwilling, since the decision was made by her father-in-law, she did not dare to refute it.

However, she instructed the people in her second house to keep a low profile recently and not to cause trouble.

Qiao Anan sat at the desk and carefully drew the pattern of the new jewelry.

"Miss, the Lin family has neither given any money nor met with Manager Wang." Xizhi reported respectfully to Qiao Anan.

"What do the government say?" Qiao Anan frowned. Although she was mentally prepared, she thought that the Lin family might use their power to oppress others.

However, things seem to be progressing more difficult than imagined.

After all, it is not uncommon for officials to protect each other.

Moreover, if her information was correct, then the husband's family that Lin Ruyi was talking about seemed to be the Yu family of the Jingzhao prefect.

But I don’t know, after the Yu family knew that they had such a daughter-in-law, would they still feel at ease to marry Lin Ruyi back home?

"Miss, the prefect of Jingzhao accepted our petition and there has been no follow-up." Xizhi said angrily.

"Can anyone ask someone what the Jingzhao prefect says?" Qiao Anan thought to herself, she paid a lot of taxes on a normal day, why did they all turn a deaf and dumb when she needed them?

"Miss, I secretly asked someone to inquire about it, and they said that they didn't see our petition." Xizhi was also puzzled. The petition was clearly handed over by him personally.

"Okay, tomorrow, go to the Supreme Court and submit a petition. By the way, secretly send a letter to the Censor's residence." Qiao Anan thought to herself, since the formal way didn't work, then she could only let the Censor make a fuss in front of the Emperor.

"Yes!" Xizhi thought, since she is the eldest daughter, this matter can be easily accomplished.

"Also, continue to spread this news! Let everyone know that the eldest daughter of the Lin family went to the Qiao family shop for no reason and donated things worth 260,000 taels of silver." Qiao Anan ordered again.

"Yes!"

"Miss, can we really get the silver back?" Dongmei asked worriedly.
