Royal daughter-in-law makes money

Chapter 64

However, when the officials arrived at the gate of the Second Prince's Mansion, they saw that the house was being demolished in full swing, and most of it had already been demolished.

"This...this...this..." At this time, everyone was getting nervous.

This prince's mansion was really demolished.

"How dare you! Who told you to demolish the prince's mansion?" The official quickly stepped forward and stopped the servant who was demolishing the house and said.

The man just glanced at the official without answering and continued working.

"I'm asking you a question." The official saw that the servant ignored him and asked angrily.

"Oh, isn't this Academician Xiao?" Eunuch Fu walked out and said to the official with a smile.

"Eunuch Fu, why is the prince's mansion being demolished just like that?" Xiao Qinian asked Eunuch Fu unhappily.

"Grand Secretary Lao Xiao has been concerned about this. It's true that my prince's house has been in disrepair for a long time, so why not just tear it down and rebuild it?" Eunuch Fu said with a smile.

"Nonsense, this prince's mansion can't be demolished just like that." Xiao Qinian scolded with a sullen face.

Xiao Qinian felt that this must be the idea of the girl from the Qiao family, otherwise why didn't the Second Prince say anything about rebuilding his Mansion for so many years? Now that he had just gotten married, the Prince's Mansion was going to be demolished.

She is indeed a merchant's daughter, not presentable.

"Master Xiao, your family doesn't live at the foot of the mountain." Eunuch Fu became unhappy when he heard Xiao Qinian say this.

"What do you mean?" Although Xiao Qinian didn't know what Eunuch Fu meant, he always felt that it was not a good thing.

"You are really nosy. Since our prince dared to demolish the house clothes, it must be with the emperor's permission. The emperor is not in a hurry, so why are you in a hurry?" Although Eunuch Fu had a smile on his face, he said it without any politeness.

It was true that they demolished the Prince's Mansion and rebuilt it, but they didn't spend a penny of the Xiao family's money nor did they eat a single cent of the Xiao family's rice or flour.

"What do you mean by this? I feel sorry for the emperor! Now that the national treasury is empty, the Second Prince's Mansion can be rebuilt just like that. As the emperor's son, doesn't the Second Prince know that there are still many places where money needs to be spent, and it should not be wasted on such enjoyment." Xiao Qinian said in a high-sounding manner.

"Thank you, Lord Xiao, for your concern about the empty national treasury. However, I may disappoint you. The cost of rebuilding our prince's mansion will not come from the national treasury. On the contrary, the money in the national treasury is all earned by our princess through hard work. It has nothing to do with you, Lord Xiao." After saying this, Eunuch Fu ignored Xiao Qinian.

The officials behind him all widened their eyes when they heard this.

They didn't expect that the emperor actually agreed to this.

What was even more unexpected was that the Qiao family actually paid for the construction of the prince's palace themselves.

The Qiao family really wants to be the one who takes advantage of them, and Qiao Cu has to pay for everything.

When several officials came to the Second Prince's Mansion to make trouble, a lot of people gathered around. At this time, the news that the Qiao family had invested in rebuilding the Second Prince's Mansion spread like wildfire.

"Old Qiao! I heard that your Qiao family is going to spend money to rebuild the Second Prince's Mansion." Qian Youcai, a merchant nearby, was pulling Qiao Zhencheng to inquire.

"Hey, Old Qian, that was An An's and the others' idea." Qiao Zhencheng said it indifferently, but the smile on his face could not hide his pride.

Qian Youcai on the side looked at Qiao Zhencheng with envy.

Unexpectedly, as a merchant family, Qiao Zhencheng could find a prince as his son-in-law.

He heard that the second prince has been living in their Qiao family recently.

What’s the difference between this and a live-in son-in-law?

Qian Youcai felt that he would wake up laughing in his dreams just to be able to find a son-in-law with such a powerful status.

Thinking of his daughter Qian Duoduo, Qian Youcai felt a headache again.

Seeing that his daughter was about to turn sixteen, if she didn't get married she would be drafted into the military service, but his daughter was very picky when it came to choosing a husband.

They were also afraid that the person they found was not here for their daughter, but was here for their wealth.

"Old Qiao, can you tell me how you found this son-in-law?" Qian Youcai said that he also wanted to find a prince as his son-in-law, even if he was not a prince, it would be fine if he was a nobleman with a good family background.

"Do you really want to know?" Qiao Zhencheng's eyes rolled and he felt that Qian Youcai was very talented.

He is also an interesting person. Doesn’t the emperor still have several sons who are not married?

Maybe he can even help the emperor solve his children’s marriage issues!

However, he could tell Qian Youcai the method, but whether it would work or not was none of his business.

"I think, Old Qiao, as long as you tell me, you will be rewarded handsomely after the task is completed." Qian Youcai said confidently.

"As long as you are willing to spend money, you can have a son-in-law." Qiao Zhencheng said with a smile.

"Can you get a son-in-law by paying money?" Qian Youcai felt that Qiao Zhencheng must be lying to him.

The Qian family has no shortage of money. After all, they are one of the richest families in Chuyuan Kingdom.

But having money doesn't necessarily mean your daughter can marry a prince.

"Do you want to know how I found my son-in-law?" Qiao Zhencheng looked at Qian Youcai proudly and asked.

"How did you find it?" Qian Youcai was already very curious about this.

"I bought it." Qiao Zhencheng whispered into Qian Youcai's ear.

"Are you kidding me?" Qian Youcai thought Qiao Zhencheng must be fooling him. Can you buy a son-in-law for a prince? Who are you trying to fool?

"I'm serious. If you don't believe me, go and try it." Qiao Zhencheng was unhappy. He told Qian Youcai with good intentions, why didn't he believe in himself?

"How much silver did you spend?" Qian Youcai didn't believe what Qiao Zhencheng said, but he wanted to give it a try.

"One million taels of silver." Qiao Zhencheng said proudly, his son-in-law is still very valuable.

"One million taels of silver?" Qian Youcai thought to himself that it was not impossible for their Qian family to come up with one million taels of silver.

Or should I take the silver and go to the emperor myself?

"I wonder if Brother Qiao can help introduce one or two people?" Qian Youcai struggled internally for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said to Qiao Zhencheng.

Although the Qian family has a lot of money, it is still not as rich as the Qiao family.

If you want to see the emperor, you can't just have money, you need connections.

It is now much easier for the Qiao family to see the emperor than before. After all, the Second Prince is the son-in-law of the Qiao family. Now that the Second Prince lives in the Qiao family every day, there are plenty of opportunities.

"Then which prince do you want?" Qiao Zhencheng asked Qian Youcai.

Qiao Zhencheng's question stumped Qian Youcai.

Can this prince still be chosen by him?

"Brother Qiao, do you have any good suggestions?" Qian Youcai humbly asked Qiao Zhencheng.

"Then it depends on what kind your daughter likes. The emperor now has three princes of the right age, namely the fifth prince, the sixth prince and the seventh prince. Each of them has his own strengths." Qiao Zhencheng said seriously without hiding anything.

Qian Youcai fell into deep thought after hearing what Qiao Zhencheng said. Although these princes weren't as brave as the Second Prince, they were still princes after all. It would be wonderful if his daughter could marry one of them.

"Brother Qiao, this is a bit difficult to choose." Qian Youcai said with some embarrassment.
