Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 358

"Brother Li, don't you think the people in the capital will find out about what we are doing?" Zhang Cheng said with some concern.

"Brother Zhang, the capital hasn't discovered it for so many years. I guess they believe that our business is not doing well here. Don't worry, nothing will happen." Li Fu said solemnly.

"I heard that our boss is actually the prince's consort. If this is discovered, it will be a capital crime." Zhang Cheng said with some concern.

"It is said that wealth and honor are sought in danger. Our situation is indeed a bit dangerous. We have saved a lot of money over the years. Now, the income from Deyue Tower and Youkelai has made us rich. When we find a suitable opportunity, we will say that this shop can no longer be run. Then we can open a restaurant and an inn ourselves. Wouldn't that be possible without anyone knowing?" Li Fu said with a flick of his eyes.

"Is this really okay? Won't the higher-ups come to investigate?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"Even if the higher-ups come to investigate, we just need to say that our business is booming after we started running it ourselves. Besides, Rongcheng is just a small place. Those masters would never think of coming here." Li Fu said fearlessly.

"Besides, if anything really happens, isn't my Jiaojiao working in the county government office? She can always protect us a little bit." Li Fu thought of Li Jiao, his daughter who was now married to the county magistrate as the eighteenth concubine, and said proudly.

His youngest daughter won the favor of the county magistrate and is now the most favored lady.

If there is anything, just let your daughter talk to you.

"Brother Li has a brilliant idea!" Zhang Cheng thought to himself. Li Fu is still the smart one.

All I have to do is follow him and get rich.

Qiao Anan was walking on the street with Baizhi and Bailu when she saw a gorgeously dressed woman scolding a maid.

"Bitch, you can't even do the job I asked you to do. Why would I keep you here?" Li Jiao looked angrily at the maid kneeling below.

She just asked her to go to Caiyilou to pick up a dress she had ordered earlier.

It was really embarrassing for her that she couldn't even get it back.

"Madam, please forgive me. It's not that I don't want to take it back. It's just that the people at Caiyi Tower said that no one has helped to prepare the clothes yet, so they asked you to wait for two more days." The little maid said tremblingly.

"Hmph, since Caiyilou promised me that I could go and pick up the clothes today, why did you suddenly change your mind?" Li Jiao asked unhappily.

"Madam, the people at Caiyi Tower said that the Third Madam said that they have to hurry up and make the eldest daughter's wedding dress first, so there's no need for you to rush." The little maidservant said in a low voice.

I was also a little distressed, wondering how I could have ended up with such a master.

"Miss, that lady is so arrogant." Bai Zhi said in amazement.

"Maybe she is the wife of an official." Qiao Anan said after thinking for a while.

"Oh, the concubine of the county magistrate is cursing again."

"That's right. This concubine relies on her father being the owner of Deyue Tower and often shows off in front of the county magistrate."

When Qiao Anan heard this, she suddenly had an idea. This person turned out to be Li Fu's daughter.

Then it's interesting.

"Auntie, who is this man? He suppresses servants in public like this. Isn't he afraid of what others will say?" Qiao Anan asked in confusion.

"Oh, girl, I can tell you're from out of town, right? Let me tell you, don't mess with this woman. She's the county magistrate's eighteenth concubine, and her father is the owner of Deyue Tower."

"That's right, this person, if you provoke her, you will be in trouble."

"Ah, auntie, isn't Deyue Tower owned by the Qiao family? Is his last name Qiao?" Qiao Anan sneered in her heart. It turned out that Li Fu had already planned to claim Deyue Tower as his property. He was so bold.

"The last name is Qiao? That's not right. Isn't the owner of Deyue Tower surnamed Li?" An aunt soon raised an objection.

"That's right, the owner of Deyue Tower is surnamed Li, and there's no Qiao family in Rongcheng."

Everyone corrected Qiao Anan one by one.

But everyone thought that Li Fu was the owner of Deyue Tower, and Deyue Tower's business was spread all over the capital.

This made the county magistrate a little wary of Li Fu.

"I see that Deyue Tower is doing pretty well. I heard that its business wasn't good before. Is that true?" Qiao Anan continued.

"Miss, you are not well-informed. The business of Deyue Tower has always been good." The woman quickly corrected.

"Is that so? Then maybe I heard it wrong. Maybe they told me that business is not good with customers coming." Qiao Anan said a little embarrassedly.

"Girl, your news is even more wrong. There are guests coming, but this is the best inn in Rongcheng. How can the business be bad?" the woman said again.

"Ah, that person actually lied to me." Qiao Anan said pretending to be sad.

"Miss, you are not talking about the marriage of a young master in Rongcheng, are you?"

"That's right, girl. The person who told you that the two businesses in Rongcheng are not doing well must be jealous of your success. Don't believe his lies. Although our Rongcheng is small, it has everything!" said the woman proudly.

"Oh, thank you all, aunts. Otherwise, I would have a deep misunderstanding of Rongcheng." Qiao Anan said with gratitude.

"Miss, you are so pretty. I wonder which young man you are talking about?" the woman asked curiously.

"These are matters of the elders in the family. There is no definite number yet, so it's hard to say." Qiao Anan said shyly on purpose.

"Oh, what a beautiful girl, yet she's still shy."

"Such a pretty girl is rare in Rongcheng. I wonder which boy will get her."

At this moment, Qiao Anan was a little amused and helpless. She had deliberately changed the subject in order to prevent these women from bringing up the topic about herself. How come the topic is back again?

However, since the woman is Li Fu's daughter, she can make use of her.

Maybe Li Fu cheated her of her money and even gave it back to Li Jiao.

Thinking of this, Qiao Anan asked Bai Lu beside her about Li Jiao's situation.

When Qiao Anan returned to the inn again, Nanqi had already returned.

"Please punish me, Miss." Nanqi was also very upset. It was all due to his negligence.

He had just gone out to inquire. In recent years, the business of Deyuelou and Youkelai has been very good. There is no situation of no business at all. The shopkeepers of Deyuelou and Youkelai started to transfer the revenue of these two shops a few years ago.

Now, they report to themselves that the shop has no profit and has been in a state of deficit.

If Qiao Anan hadn't come to Rongcheng by accident this time, they would have been deceived by these two people again.

"Okay, there's no point blaming yourself. Let's take a long-term view on this matter." Qiao Anan said coldly.
