Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 253

Chu Haojue frowned when he heard what the Xijing soldier said under the city wall.

"Is this how they usually clamor down there?" Chu Haojue asked unhappily.

"Your Highness, these days, people from Xijing Kingdom have been calling here for an hour every day. We just ignore them." At this time, General Chen Duo of the border town said.

"The insults are so harsh!" As a prince, Chu Haojue had never heard such abuse before.

"But Your Highness, you have only brought 3,000 elite soldiers with you. Our spies report that Xijing Kingdom has at least 100,000 troops." Chen Duo also wanted to fight with Xijing Kingdom, but he knew their strength well and was no match for Xijing Kingdom.

Even if reinforcements arrived, he felt that they would be in danger of death this time.

Chu Haojue looked into the distance again, and he saw Zhou Chengzhi, who was there too.

very good!

Zhou Chengzhi also saw Chu Haojue on the city wall. He didn't think that the Chu Yuan Kingdom would be able to fight back against their Xijing Kingdom.

Zhou Chengzhi raised his middle finger at Chu Haojue.

"Damn it!" Chu Haojue cursed in anger.

"Your Highness, don't be impulsive. Think about the people in our border town." Chen Duo felt that they should not act rashly before the reinforcements arrived.

"Qingfeng, bring the gunpowder!" Chu Haojue picked up a longbow and ordered Qingfeng.

Qingfeng tied gunpowder to the bow and arrow without thinking.

Before Chen Duo could react, he drew the bow and shot the arrow in one go.

"Your Highness!" Chen Duo was about to say something about Chu Haojue's impulsive behavior.

Zhou Chengzhi watched Chu Haojue shoot an arrow at him. Originally, he was ready to block it with his shield, but unexpectedly, the arrow landed half a meter away from him.

"Your Highness, there is something on the arrow!" A soldier from Xijing State looked at the smoking arrow and wanted to take it out to see what it was.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the soldier was shattered into pieces. Zhou Chengzhi, who was originally sitting on the horse, was also shaken and fell off the horse, spitting out blood.

"Your Highness!" The soldiers on the side rushed to Zhou Chengzhi to check on his condition.

At this moment, Zhou Chengzhi only felt a buzzing in his ears.

"What's going on?" Zhou Chengzhi asked angrily, but when he opened his mouth, he found that no one could hear his own voice.

"I can't speak anymore?" Zhou Chengzhi roared in disbelief.

The soldiers who were here just now were also deafened by the sound.

"Your Highness, what happened just now?" Chen Duo then looked at the place where the Xijing soldiers had just stood.

It was discovered that the general was now on the ground.

Chen Duo's eyes lit up. Oh my god, when did their Chu Yuan Kingdom have such powerful weapons?

With this thing, why would they need to fear the people of Xijing?

"You've seen it, next time they make noises again, just blow them up!" Chu Haojue said.

"Yes!" Chen Duo answered seriously.

Qiao Anan composed herself and was about to go out to inspect the shop when she saw Liu Ruolin coming towards her.

Qiao Anan had a headache. Why did she come?

Thinking about her previous promise to get it done within three days, she now felt a little uncomfortable. She really wanted to get it done within three days, but unfortunately, she couldn't say anything unless the emperor gave her a definite answer.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anan decided to return home quickly.

"The Second Prince's Consort!" Liu Ruolin quickly stood in front of Qiao Anan.

She couldn't let Qiao Anan run away. You know, because of this, her father, who had never raised a finger against her, beat her severely.

Her father only gave her three days. If she didn't take the silver back within three days, her father would give her to a fifty-year-old man in exchange for the silver.

She was not happy about it, but her father did not give her the opportunity to refuse.

Originally, she still held a glimmer of hope that her cousin could rescue her. After all, it was because of her cousin that she became like this. However, her cousin went to the border town.

I can't come back in a short time.

She could only come to Qiao Anan.

Only then did she realize that Qiao Anan had deliberately deceived her.

How could she be willing?

"Miss Liu, I have already gone to the palace to talk to the emperor about that matter. The emperor hasn't replied to me yet. It's not that I don't want to give you a result." Qiao Anan said quickly.

"Second Prince's Consort, I don't want the position of Second Prince's Consort anymore. Can you return the banknotes to me? I don't want it anymore. It was Ruolin who was wishful thinking. She shouldn't have such thoughts." Liu Ruolin knelt in front of Qiao Anan and cried.

Only then did Qiao Anan realize that Liu Ruolin still had quite a few wounds on her body.

It seems that this naughty kid took the banknote without his parents' consent. It seems that no matter what era, if a naughty kid makes a mistake, he will be beaten.

However, how can you take back the water that has been poured out?

Besides, this silver was a gift from her to herself, so why should she return it?

How is that possible? The banknotes are all in the palace.

"Miss Liu, this matter is no joke. You said you wanted the position of the Second Prince's Consort and insisted that I give it up. Now, I went to the palace and told the Emperor about this, but you said you don't want it anymore? How should I tell the Emperor later? What if the Emperor approves my divorce from the Second Prince and you want the money back? How can such a good thing happen?" Qiao Anan said unhappily.

"Miss Qiao, why do you have to do this? Your Qiao An family is wealthy and powerful, and they don't need the money from our Liu family. Even if you really divorce the second prince, you can live a good life with your Qiao family's wealth. I can't do that. My father will beat me to death." Liu Ruolin said, rolling up her sleeves. Her arms were covered with scars.

Qiao Anan thought to herself, it seems that Liu Yu really hit her hard.

However, she did not sympathize. If her child did such a nonsensical thing in the future, she would beat him/her too.

"Miss Liu, why do you have to force me? I have already sent the banknote to the palace. Why don't you come with me to the palace and ask the emperor for it in person?" Qiao Anan asked.

After hearing this, Liu Ruolin could only go back unwillingly.

"Miss, this young lady from the Liu family seems to have been beaten quite badly." Chuntao said, looking at the injuries on Liu Ruolin's body.

"Who knows what this silver is used for?" Qiao Anan was thinking more about where this silver came from.

Is it clean?

However, the human trafficking in this era was at most selling people to do hard labor or something, unlike in later generations, which was fatal.

"Miss, I always feel that Miss Liu will definitely come to see you again. You should let Sister Bailu follow you these days." Chuntao said worriedly. After all, a desperate dog will jump over the wall. What's more, she felt that Miss Liu didn't seem like a good person.

"Okay, I understand." Qiao Anan nodded, agreeing with Chuntao.
