Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 369

Yuxiu Palace

"I heard that the Second Prince's wife has returned to the capital?" Concubine Xian asked Nanny Qiu who was standing beside her.

"Your Majesty, I heard that he is back. However, the Second Prince's Concubine only went back to the Qiao family and did not enter the palace. I guess the Second Prince's Concubine had a hard journey. Once she has rested, she will definitely come to the palace to see Your Majesty." Nanny Qiu on the side said quickly.

"Didn't Jue'er come back with you?" Empress Xian asked in confusion.

"It seems that the Second Prince has other things to deal with and didn't come back with anyone." Nanny Qiu said in a low voice.

"Your Majesty, don't you think that the incident between His Highness and Miss Duan has really caused a rift between His Highness and the Second Prince's wife?" Nanny Qiu asked worriedly.

"Where is Duan Qingyao now?" Empress Xian frowned when she thought of this question. She didn't understand why her son looked up to her when Duan Qingyao was just the daughter of a warrior.

"He is still in the capital and has not left yet. Perhaps Duan Xiaoshi is waiting for His Highness to return to the capital." Nanny Qiu guessed. She didn't know whether her master really wanted to take a concubine for Chu Haojue. However, the crown prince didn't take a concubine yet, so she didn't know whether His Highness the Second Prince was interested in taking a concubine.

"Hmph, the Duan family is quite scheming." Empress Xian thought of Duan Qingyao and shook her head in her heart.

She didn't like Duan Qingyao, otherwise, she would have considered letting Chu Haojue marry Duan Qingyao as his principal wife.

"Old Madam Duan is old, maybe she just wants a younger person to keep her company in the capital." Nanny Qiu said after thinking for a while.

"Forget it. Now that the second son is not in the capital, he doesn't have this worry." Empress Xian would never feel bored to take a concubine for her son.

What if, by chance, her son and daughter-in-law become estranged, and the daughter-in-law wants to divorce her son, she will not have the money to compensate the Qiao family.

"Madam Qiu, there will be a third-day birthday banquet for the emperor's eldest grandson tomorrow. Please go to the storehouse and pick out some things to send over." Empress Xian thought that the Crown Princess had already given birth to a child, and she didn't know when she would be able to hold her grandson in her arms.

These days, the Queen has to take care of the Emperor's eldest grandson, and she hasn't even played mahjong, leaving them without one.

Qiao family

Qiao Zhencheng felt a little uneasy when he saw his daughter, who was well fed and well fed, telling him that they had discovered a mine on the hilltop they had bought.

"An An, could we be mistaken? That mountain is actually not ours? How could it be such a coincidence? We bought one mountain and found a mine, and then we bought two mountains and found a mine as well? With this kind of luck, our family doesn't need to do anything to make a living. It's okay, just take the money and go out to buy a few more mountains." Qiao Zhencheng looked at Qiao An An with a worried look on his face and asked.

"Dad, you bought that mountain, so I don't know. How about you find the deed and take a look?" Qiao Anan looked at her father with a strange expression.

You were the one who bought the things, so why are you the one who wants to leave now?

This thing has nothing to do with me.

"I've looked for it." After hearing Qingfeng's words, Qiao Zhencheng went to look through his big box of land deeds. You won't believe it, it really was there.

But because of this, Qiao Zhencheng was in a bad mood.

He bought that hill more than ten years ago.

He never knew that he not only had iron mines, but also silver mines.

The problem is, most of the silver mines have been stolen!

"An An, do you think the emperor will punish our family for knowing the truth but not reporting it?" Zhi Zhencheng asked worriedly. After all, the imperial court had long stipulated that individuals were not allowed to own minerals.

"Dad, just put your mind at ease. If you really want to worry about this, why not think about the name of this brother or sister? You're just worrying about it for nothing." Qiao Anan was puzzled. Wasn't it her mother who was pregnant? Why was it her father who changed his temper?

Qiao Zhencheng felt a little embarrassed by his daughter's words, but the worry in his heart was not completely dispelled.

"An An, do you know how much of this mine has been mined? If the imperial court investigates, what will our Qiao family do?" Qiao Zhencheng's voice was filled with anxiety. Obviously, this sudden 'surprise' and the troubles that followed made him feel more stressed.

Seeing this, Qiao Anan smiled gently, walked to her father's side, and comforted him, "Dad, don't worry. According to Qingfeng, the mine has not been mined very deeply. Besides, although you bought the mountain, you didn't know there was a mine on the mountain. Moreover, the people from the Li family who mined were not sent by you. Now, just take out the deeds to these mountains. I will go to the palace and hand them over to the emperor to make our Qiao family's position clear. Dad, if you are really worried, how much silver you spent on these mountains? Let the emperor compensate you. Just think of it as you bought the mountains for the emperor, how about it?"

"This is the land deed. Let's do as you say, An An. I didn't spend much money on those three hills. Just consider it...just consider it as a gift for His Majesty to congratulate him on the birth of his eldest grandson!" Qiao Zhencheng thought, he had already given away so much silver, and this was only a matter of a few thousand taels of silver.

Only after giving it to him can he sleep peacefully.

A house somewhere in the capital

"You said that the Li family has been discovered?" The man's cold voice sounded.

"Yes! Master, there is not only a silver mine there, but also an iron mine next to it." The man standing aside said with some annoyance.

"Okay, now that we've been discovered, let's withdraw our people. Clean up the mess." The man didn't expect that something that hadn't been discovered for so many years would be discovered now. However, they had mined a lot of silver in that mine over the years.

Now, it is best to withdraw in time.

After all, that money is enough for them to accomplish great things.

"Yes!"

The man stood up, looked in the direction of the palace, and fell into deep thought. Originally, according to his previous plan, the Chu family would not have such a good life as they do now.

However, all these problems were solved one by one.

What exactly happened?

Royal Palace

"Hey, An'an, you're finally back." Chu Yuanming smiled happily when he saw Qiao An'an.

"Father, you are in a good mood because of the good news. It is really different for people who have the eldest grandson." Qiao Anan looked at Chu Yuanming's rosy face and couldn't help but joked.

"Haha, An An, you are really good at talking. You have been running all the way since coming back from the county. I believe you must be tired. Why don't you take a few more days of rest?" Chu Yuanming asked with a smile.

"I'm in a hurry to see my father." Qiao Anan said with a smile.

"If you have any problems, you can come back after An An has had a good rest." Chu Yuanming was still very tolerant towards Chu Yuanguo, the cash cow.

"Father, your Majesty, your daughter-in-law is coming to the palace today with a gift for you on behalf of my father." Qiao Anan took out the land deed from her bosom and handed it to Chu Yuanming.

"This is what my father asked me to pass on to the emperor. He said, congratulations to the emperor on the birth of his eldest grandson." Qiao Anan said with a smile.

"Haha, Old Qiao is still good at handling things. Great! I wonder if An'an has prepared any gifts for me?" Chu Yuanming asked Qiao An'an.
