Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 284

"Don't worry, father!" Yao Feiyan said quickly.

On his way back to Beijing, Chu Haojue rode his horse as fast as he could. Although he had not been out for long, it felt like a long time.

That day, he and Zhu Yuanliang happened to be resting in a dense forest.

"Your Highness, there is someone." Zhu Yuanliang suddenly heard some noise and said quickly.

Chu Haojue didn't say anything, but just gestured to the tree. The two of them quickly jumped onto the dense tree and hid themselves.

"This time, with the flood in the south of the Yangtze River, the relief money from the imperial court should arrive soon, right?" Chu Haojue saw a man in black asking in a hoarse voice under the tree.

"Don't worry, we've already told the higher-ups. I think the disaster relief funds will be allocated soon." Another man in black said quickly.

"Very good. Now, the imperial court is very rich, so we need to find a way to get more silver. By the way, I heard that a very powerful Qiao family has emerged in the capital recently? Have you found out where they came from?" the hoarse-voiced man asked again.

"I only heard that he was a merchant. Master, don't worry, that man is nothing to be afraid of." The man in black said again.

"I heard that this merchant gave a lot of silver to the national treasury. Let's see if we can keep it for our own use. If not." The man who spoke in a hoarse voice made a gesture of wiping his neck.

"Yes!"

Not long after, the two left.

"Your Highness, do you want to chase them?" Zhu Yuanliang didn't expect that they would hear such explosive news.

"Let's go back to Beijing first. Since they want to tamper with the flood in Jiangnan, the money must not have been allocated yet." Chu Haojue felt very unhappy when he thought that those people actually wanted to tamper with the disaster relief money.

After all, that money was earned by his wife with great effort.

Chu Haojue felt that he couldn't give too much silver to the national treasury, otherwise his father would not know how to spend it sparingly.

Give money wherever you need it.

Everyone is eyeing the money in the national treasury.

At this time, a man in black quietly returned to the inn where the Yao family was staying.

Yao Feiyun quickly changed his clothes and lay down on the bed. This time he went to Beijing not only to visit his aunt, but also had an important mission.

That is to take the Qiao family for one's own use.

The reason why he did this was because of his wife Liu.

Liu's real surname is actually Liu, and she also has another identity as a princess of the previous dynasty.

Now, Liu's father has only one daughter, Liu Min'er. Liu Chang promised him that after the success, he would pass the throne to his eldest son Yao Ankang.

Such temptation is fatal to Yao Feiyun.

To this end, Yao Feiyun did a lot of money for Liu Chang.

This time when he went to Beijing, Yao Feiyun had a very heavy burden on his shoulders.

If he fails to persuade the Qiao family to surrender, he will have to deal with them.

Although that was his aunt's home, Yao Feiyun felt that compared to letting his son ascend to the throne, this sacrifice was nothing.

In the inn, Yao Hongxia was pleasantly surprised.

When she thought that she might marry into the capital, she felt very happy. She even fantasized that maybe she could marry a prince and become a prince's consort.

I heard that her cousin Qiao Anan married the second prince.

"Your Majesty, several memorials have been submitted from Jiangnan saying that there is a serious flood in Jiangnan." The prince frowned and said, he always felt that the situation in Jiangxi this time seemed much more urgent than in previous years.

"Well, now it's late autumn. Logically, Jiangxi should have entered the dry season." Chu Yuanming was also a little puzzled. At this time of year, shouldn't the crops in Jiangnan have been harvested? The flood should not have much impact.

"Father, do you think there's something fishy about this?" The prince asked Chu Yuanming.

"For this matter, wait until the second brother comes back and ask him to make another trip. I always feel that things are not that simple." Chu Yuanming did not make a decision immediately.

"When will my second brother be able to return to the capital?" The prince looked at the memorials from Jiangxi one after another. He didn't know how serious the situation in Jiangnan was. If it really didn't work out, he would go there in person.

Although it is inconvenient for the Crown Princess to give birth to a child now, this is also his mission.

He was also worried about the other princes going.

"He should be back in the next few days." Chu Yuanming thought about the letter he received and estimated the time. He thought that the second brother would definitely return first by himself and would definitely not return with the main force.

Qiao family

"An'an!" Yao Shuilian excitedly ran to Qiao An'an's yard with the letter.

"Mom, go slower!" Looking at Yao Shuilian's slightly bulging belly, Qiao Anan hurried over to support Yao Shuilian.

"What's the matter? You're so happy. Be careful." Qiao Anan advised.

"It's okay, it's okay. Isn't mother happy? Your cousin and others are coming!" Yao Shuilian hasn't seen the Yao family for a long time. Now, several of her nieces and nephews are coming to Beijing together. How can she not be happy about this?

"Okay, okay, okay, I'll arrange accommodation for them. I wonder which cousins are coming?" Qiao Anan asked with a smile.

In her memory, she seemed to have several cousins, but she had never met any of them since she came to this world, and none of them came to her last wedding.

"The ones coming are your cousins Feiyan and Feiyu from your eldest uncle's family, your cousins Feiyun and Hongxia from your second uncle's family, and your cousin Feiji from your youngest uncle's family." Yao said happily. She would be able to meet four nephews and one niece at once. Thinking of this, Yao was in a good mood.

"Okay, then I will clean up Qingyun Pavilion for my cousins, and let my cousin live in Caiyunju." Qiao Anan said after thinking for a while.

"Good, good, good!" Upon hearing this, Yao was also very satisfied with these two points.

"Chuntao, remember this. Ask someone to clean it out later. Make sure you clean it up carefully." Qiao Anan instructed Chuntao who was standing aside.

"Don't worry, Miss." Chuntao agreed with a smile and turned around to go out to do the thing.

Dongxu looked at the letter in his hand with a frown.

"Pavilion Master, this news was discovered by our people accidentally. We didn't expect that the prince of the previous dynasty is still thinking about restoring the previous dynasty." Xifeng, the left protector of Tianji Pavilion, said.

"Have you found out where the remnants of the previous dynasty are hiding now?" Dongxu asked Xifeng.

"Our people found out that they are in Qingxi and have close ties with the Yao family, a wealthy family in Qingxi," said Xifeng.

"The Yao family?" Dongxu's heart sank. Isn't this the Qingxi Yao family the family of Qiao Anan's maternal grandparents?

If something really happened, Qiao Anan would definitely be implicated.

"Yes, but our people didn't dare to get close. I don't know why the Yao family is mixed up with the remnants of the previous dynasty. Logically, the Yao family is just an ordinary merchant family. By the way, the Yao family has a daughter who married into the Qiao family in Beijing." Xifeng thought of another thing and said quickly.

Dongxu was in a complicated mood. After all, he was the only one who knew that the owner of Tianji Pavilion was the eldest daughter of the Qiao family. Even his left and right bodyguards were not aware of it.
