Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 285

"Don't make it public at this time. Let someone investigate it thoroughly." Dongxu decided to talk about this matter with Qiao Anan. After all, the Qiao family is now loyal to the royal family.

It would be troublesome if this were to be accused of colluding with the remnants of the previous dynasty.

After hearing about the flood in Jiangnan, Chu Haojue did not dare to delay on the road any longer. However, people always need to rest. After all, it would take more than a day or two to reach the border town from the capital.

Chu Haojue had just arrived at a place to rest and was about to take a rest when he saw an old monk lying on the ground, dying.

"Your Highness, there is a person there." Zhu Yuanliang saw at a glance the old monk lying on the ground.

The two men hurried over to check, only to see the old monk lying unconscious on the ground. His lips were pale, and he must have been thirsty or hungry.

"Your Highness, could this old monk have fainted from hunger?" Zhu Yuanliang thought to himself that the old monk must have not been able to obtain the karma, so he fainted from hunger.

"Okay, give him some water and some dry food." Chu Haojue took out the water bag from his body and fed the old monk water.

The old monk woke up soon after drinking and was stunned when he saw Chu Haojue in front of him.

"Thank you for saving my life, old donor Naxie!" said the old monk.

"Are you okay?" Chu Haojue looked at the old monk and thought that he must have walked quite a distance and fainted here.

"It's much better now." The old monk stared at Chu Haojue closely, which made Chu Haojue a little puzzled. Could it be that there was something wrong with his face?

"Old monk, why do you always stare at him?" Zhu Yuanliang asked in confusion.

"The donor was born into a noble family, but he was destined to be alone. Fortunately, he met a good man in this life." The old monk said that Chu Haojue was destined to be alone.

"Old monk, my master saved you, and you still say this?" Zhu Yuanliang felt that the old monk was a little ungrateful.

"As we have met before, we are destined to be together. I will give these Buddhist beads to you, the donor. Your beloved is from a prominent family. These Buddhist beads can save her life at a critical moment. Amitabha!" The old monk handed the Buddhist beads to Chu Haojue, then stood up and left.

"Master, thank you for your Buddhist beads. These lunch boxes are my thank you gifts." Chu Haojue didn't know why, but he always felt that these Buddhist beads made him feel very comfortable. He quickly took out the dry food and water bottle and handed them to the old monk.

"Thank you, benefactor!" The old monk did not refuse and took the things and left.

"Your Highness, what the monk said was strange." Zhu Yuanliang did not take the old monk's words to heart.

But Chu Haojue felt that if he had not met Qiao Anan, he might never get married in his life. This thing looked good to him, and it was not impossible that it could really save Qiao Anan's life.

The Yao brothers finally arrived in the capital.

Qiao Anan put down what she was doing and entertained several cousins. For this purpose, she specially asked Deyue Tower to reserve a seat for her.

Of course, Qiao Anan already has her own private room in Deyue Building. On weekdays, that room is not open to the public. However, when Qiao Anan wants to go there and prepare the dishes, she will still make arrangements in advance.

Yao Shuilian was also very happy to see her handsome nephews and beautiful nieces.

"Aunt, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are still as beautiful as before." Yao Feiyan couldn't help but sigh when he saw Yao Shuilian. So many years have passed, but Yao Shuilian is still as beautiful as before.

"You kid, you only say nice things." Yao Shuilian was still very happy.

"Cousin, you must be tired from the journey. You should go to the mansion to rest for a while. I will take you to Deyue Tower for dinner later." Qiao Anan said with a smile.

"In that case, I'll have to trouble you, cousin." Yao Feiyan and his companions had been traveling all the way, and now they really wanted to wash up first.

"Butler Hu, take the young masters to Qingyun Pavilion. Chuntao, take the young ladies to Caiyunju." Qiao Anan ordered with a smile.

"Cousin, can I live in the same yard with you?" Yao Hongxia had long had her eyes on the auspicious cloud brocade dress on Qiao Anan. She thought that her cousin must have many more clothes made of such fine fabrics. She had a similar figure to her cousin, so she wanted to ask her cousin for a few sets, and her cousin should not refuse to give them to her.

"Sister, stop talking nonsense. My cousin is married now!" Yao Feiyun quickly stopped his sister.

Qiao Anan's mouth twitched. She didn't expect that this cousin was such a white lotus. However, she had no intention of finding a concubine for Chu Haojue.

"I'm sorry, cousin, His Highness doesn't like strange women in the courtyard." Qiao Anan refused with a smile. Although Chu Haojue hasn't returned home yet, what if he suddenly returns home?

It is not convenient for this unmarried cousin to live in the same yard with her.

"Hongxia, Caiyunju has been tidied up. You can go and take a look. If there is anything missing, just tell your aunt." Yao Shuilian also advised.

"Oh, okay!" Yao Hongxia could only reply with a disappointed look, and kept looking back as she left.

Qiao Zhencheng on the side frowned.

The other children looked good, but this niece was quite thoughtful.

However, Qiao Zhencheng thought to himself, fortunately, Chu Haojue was not in the mansion.

The others only brought a servant with them, except Yao Hongxia, who brought two maids.

"Miss, this courtyard for receiving guests is so luxurious. It seems that this lady's family is very wealthy." Xiangcao, who was standing aside, looked at Caiyunju and said with envy.

"Hmph, no matter how rich you are, you can't stay here!" Yao Hongxia said dissatisfiedly, glaring at Xiangcao.

She naturally knew that her aunt's family was wealthy, so she wanted to live with Qiao Anan in her courtyard.

However, she didn't expect that her cousin was not so easy to deal with.

"Please forgive me, miss. I said the wrong thing." Vanilla knelt down nervously and said.

"Okay, what are you doing? If someone doesn't know, they would think that the young lady is someone who treats villains harshly. This is not the Yao family." Xiangyun on the side quickly pulled Xiangcao up and said.

After saying that, he secretly glanced outside and saw that there was no one there, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiangcan, I came here to talk about a good family. Please don't ruin my reputation here." Yao Hongxia looked at Xiangcan with dissatisfaction.

"Don't worry, miss. I'll remember this." Vanilla said without daring to breathe.

But in his heart he was thinking that the young lady from the Qiao family looked graceful and elegant today, and it was obvious that she was a lady who was easy to get along with.

It would be great if I could stay with the eldest daughter of the Qiao family.

"Xiangyun, go take out the silk handkerchief I gave to your cousin from my box, and we'll deliver it to your cousin." Yao Hongxia wanted to visit Qiao Anan's residence.
