The general's eldest daughter has a spatial ability

No sooner had Zhang Tianci finished speaking than a familiar male voice came from the doorway: "Brother Zhang, who else would you like to thank?"

Everyone looked up and saw the manager of Yue'an Tower leading Wushuang An Yi and two children into the hall.

The shopkeeper walked in front, while Wushuang and An Yi each carried a child.

When Mingyue and Qingfeng saw Li Liuyun and Nangong Li, they quickly got off Wushuang and An Yi and ran to Nangong Li and Li Liuyun. Mingyue hugged Li Liuyun's leg and said, "Auntie, we missed you. The shopkeeper's uncle said he could take us to find you, so we came. You won't blame us, will you?"

Qingfeng looked at Nangong Li and Li Liuyun: "Uncle and Aunt, are you finished with your business? Will my sister and I disturb you?"

Li Liuyun squatted down and patted the two children's heads: "No, your aunt has finished her business. She was just about to go back with her uncle to pick you up for dinner. Were you waiting anxiously? Are you hungry?"

Mingyue's clear voice rang out: "I'm hungry, Auntie! I've been hungry for ages! My brother is hungry too, let's go eat!"

Qingfeng blushed upon hearing Mingyue's words and hurriedly said, "I'm not hungry, am I? Is my little sister hungry?"

No sooner had Qingfeng finished speaking than his stomach growled twice. Qingfeng's face instantly turned red all the way to his neck!

Mingyue laughed and said, "Brother is lying! Your stomach is growling, and you still say you're not hungry! You're lying. Sister Dandan said that lying is not good behavior."

Upon hearing Mingyue's words, Qingfeng hurriedly looked up at Li Liuyun, appearing on the verge of tears: "Uncle and Aunt, I didn't lie on purpose. I just thought your matters were more important. It's okay if we eat a little later! I'm not a bad child!"

When Li Liuyun saw Qingfeng like this, she felt heartbroken and quickly hugged him, patting his back to comfort him, "Auntie knows Qingfeng is a good child. He said he wasn't hungry because he was afraid of delaying Uncle and Auntie's business, so he endured it and said he wasn't hungry. Auntie won't blame you! This is called a white lie."

Nobody will think you're a bad kid! But the matter is resolved now, and the most important thing is to take you both out for a nice meal!

After hearing Li Liuyun's words, Qingfeng raised his head and said, "Well, then let's go, Uncle and Aunt."

Li Liuyun nodded, looked at Nangong Li, and the two got up to say goodbye.

Madam Zhang had previously said that she had prepared a feast, but then she thought that there were still several students in the affiliated middle school who were seriously ill, and since the two of them had two children with them, she did not ask them to stay for a meal at the mansion.

An Yi and Wu Shuang came over and, along with the Zhang family, returned the gifts of gratitude sent by Zhang Tianci and his wife to the inn. Nangong Li and Li Liuyun took the two children and strolled around the market.

The last few people ate at a restaurant called Zui Jiangnan. Although the food wasn't as good as Li Liuyun's, it was still fresh, clean, and refreshing! The two children ate quite a few snacks they wanted at the market, but didn't use much.

When Li Liuyun and his group returned to Yue'an Tower, they happened to run into Zhang Tianci delivering a thank-you gift to the manager. The manager declined several times, but Zhang Tianci's attitude was firm, so the manager had no choice but to accept it.

After Zhang Tianci left, the shopkeeper, carrying Zhang Tianci's thank-you gifts, knocked on Nangong Li's door. As soon as the shopkeeper entered, he placed all the gifts Zhang Tianci had given him on the table.

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master, this is a thank-you gift from Zhang Tianci."

Nangong Li shook his head: "He has already sent the gift of thanks to the princess. This is a special thank you gift from him! There is no need to hand it over."

The shopkeeper shook his head: "But I did nothing, I just mentioned it! How could I possibly receive such benefits? Besides, it was the princess who treated the sick and saved lives. These should rightfully be given to the princess! I would feel ashamed to accept them and would never dare to keep them for myself."

Li Liuyun smiled and said, "That's not true. If you hadn't said that his family was looking for someone to treat their head chef, I wouldn't have gone to his residence, and I wouldn't have been able to save his wife by chance. I've already accepted my gift of gratitude, and this is what you deserve!"

"But surely the Zhang family wouldn't have given away their entire fortune? I just looked at the boxes he gave me; they were full of silver notes from four different countries, and gold notes too! And the jewelry and jade pieces were all top-quality; a rough estimate puts them at three hundred thousand taels."

Nangong Li was also very surprised to hear Li Liuyun's words: "He actually gave you a thank-you gift of 300,000 taels?"

Li Liuyun nodded: "That's why I said he wouldn't take out all his savings, right? Otherwise, a businessman who owns a restaurant would donate money and give out porridge during disaster years. Could he really rely on just one restaurant?"

Upon hearing Li Liuyun's words, the shopkeeper smiled and said, "My lady and princess, you may not know this, but three hundred thousand taels is a considerable sum for ordinary people. However, for the Zhang family, it is not a drop in the ocean, but it is certainly not their entire fortune. Just look at the thank-you gift he gave me; it must be at least ten thousand taels!"

The innkeeper's words aroused even more curiosity among those present. Li Liuyun smiled and asked, "With the Zhang family being so wealthy, do they have other businesses besides restaurants?"

Otherwise, even if a restaurant like this opened for ten years, it wouldn't earn so much money. If he doesn't have other sources of income, then his family must be incredibly wealthy!

Li Liuyun's claim of owning a mine was just a joke, but the shopkeeper nodded in agreement: "Your Highness is truly wise. Besides this restaurant, Zhang Tianci's family also owns banks in the other four kingdoms. Moreover, they don't just own banks; they actually own mines! They own two mines!"

This story is actually quite a tale. Back then, Zhang Tianci's family had arranged a marriage for him, but he ran away from the wedding and met his wife there. His wife, like him, was also trying to escape her arranged marriage.

Then, fearing that the other might be after their family's wealth, the two began to pretend to be poor. After going through many hardships and confirming their feelings for each other, they finally revealed their true identities the day before their wedding.

Madam Zhang is from the Dongling Kingdom. The reason why the Dongling Kingdom is the most powerful of the four kingdoms (Southern Frontier, Northern Frontier, and Northern Li) is because it is rich in mineral resources!

The country has abundant gold, silver, and jade mines, and Dongling even allows private mining, requiring only the payment of taxes. To put it bluntly, Dongling has too many mines! Their emperor is too lazy to mine them himself.

People of any standing in that area usually own several mines, and the dowry given to Madam Zhang by her family consisted of two mines: a jade mine and a silver mine!

As the saying goes, gold and silver have a price, but jade is priceless. Moreover, this hibiscus jade is the finest of all jades, deeply loved by noblewomen. As the saying goes, rarity increases value; hibiscus jade is hard to come by, and worth a fortune. And since Madam Zhang owns a hibiscus jade mine, the Princess can only imagine how wealthy the Zhang family is.
