What the? That white jade is actually mutton fat jade? As soon as He heard this, he immediately sat back in his chair, and his intestines were about to repent. She hadn't seen mutton fat jade before, and she had heard the legend of mutton fat jade, which was the most precious treasure jade in the world!

He Shi now looked at the mutton fat jade in Duanmu's hand, and then looked at the pair of jade bracelets in his hand, how did he feel uncomfortable, uncomfortable and ironic, and he was so uncomfortable that he was about to breathe.

She looked at the smiles on Duanmu and Qingdi's faces, and no matter how she looked at it, she felt that these two were laughing at her, laughing at her moving stones, and laughing at her self-inflicted.

He finally couldn't stand it anymore, took his pair of bracelets, didn't say a word, turned his head and left.

Seeing this, Duanmu was also a little worried, and hurriedly got up and wanted to chase after him to comfort him, but now Qingdi is still here, if she leaves, it is really not the hospitality of the master's family. Qingdi and Chu Yaocen are separated, and now they are guests when they come back.

Duanmu was helpless, sat back again, sighed, and said to Qingdi: "Sister Qingdi, why did you deliberately say such things to anger her?" Let her think that she has taken advantage. ”

"You can see I'm deliberately angry with her? In fact, she blamed herself for her lack of greed. These two jades, the value is actually not much different, each has its own strengths, this is that He is not only satisfied, but feels that others are good in their hands, what can I do? Qingdi snickered, and continued: "Such a person, you are willing to get used to her, but I am not used to her." Otherwise, she would have thought I was showing weakness to her. ”

Duanmu sighed and said, "Since her father-in-law didn't let her take charge of the house, her monthly money has also decreased, and so many relatives in her family have automatically alienated her when they see that they can't get benefits from her, and she is also pitifully tight." ”

Qingdi heard Duanmu Clan say this, and said with disdain: "Since the He Clan had to take care of so many relatives in her family before, then her expenses must be very large, right?" So she relied on her identity, and she didn't have to count the expenses, right? Now that you are in charge, you must be open source and save a lot of money for your father-in-law, and your father-in-law must trust you very much. So you can't continue to let such people do whatever they want. ”

At this point, Duanmu admitted that she was originally from a scholarly family, not good for luxury, everything was simple, and the monthly money distributed to her family every time was in accordance with the regulations, no more, no less. The others originally took the prescribed money, so now there is no gap in their hearts, and seeing that the people in charge of the family are similar to what they get, not much more, they are even more convinced of the Duanmu clan. The only one who has a gap is the He family, she used to rely on all the accounts from her own hands, so naturally she has to fill her own pockets. The extra money can be used to support some relatives in your family who like to live without trouble, and it can also be used to buy people's hearts. And now, she has nothing.

Duanmu nodded, she also felt that what Qingdi said made sense. Seeing her like this, Qingdi continued: "I think it, you are benevolent and benevolent, and the family must like you very much, but don't be too weak, look at this He family, didn't you just throw your face and show you just now?" ”

Duanmu was helpless and said: "Let her go, after all, she is Linyuan's mother, I am her daughter-in-law, even if she is not satisfied with me, she will not harm me." ”

Qingdi opened his mouth, wanting to say that it was not necessarily, but after thinking about it, now that the He clan does not have any helpers, it is not so easy to harm the Duanmu clan.

"My sister and Yao Cen should be in the Imperial City in the future, right? When you have time, you can often come home and sit and talk to me. Duanmu grabbed Qingdi's hand and said affectionately.

Qingdi's face was embarrassed, and after a long time, he replied to her helplessly: "How can Yao Cen be idle, after he wants to connect the business in the imperial city with the eldest brother, he will take me to the Wu country to do business." ”

"Go to Wu Country?" Duanmu furrowed his brows quickly.

Wu produces domestic salt, and the surrounding area that borders with Wu also produces salt. Salt is not allowed to be sold by ordinary people in the Li Kingdom, and it is under the control of the government, and then handed over to a fixed imperial merchant to sell. The Chu family was one of the imperial merchants who used their power to transport and sell salt. When the family was separated, the salt transportation was still in the hands of Chu Chengguan, and Chu Linyuan and Chu Yaocen did not get it. Now that the two of them are going to the vicinity of Wu Kingdom, do they want to do the business of salt transportation in advance?

Duanmu didn't have any scheming, so when he thought of this question, he asked it and said, "Sister, are you and Yao Cen going to do salt business in the past?" ”

Qingdi was stunned for a moment, she was just making an excuse just now, saying that she and Chu Yaocen were leaving. It's true that Yao Cen went to Wu State, but he didn't do the business of salt transportation. And she has to continue to go to the palace, and she can't go anywhere. She really didn't expect the Duanmu clan to think so, she was afraid that the Duanmu clan would misunderstand that Chu Yaocen was going to rob Chu Linyuan's business, so she hurriedly explained: "No, Daddy didn't distribute the salt transportation, and Yaocen also decided that he wouldn't take it upon himself to take it upon himself to do the salt business." ”

When Duanmu heard this, he hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, my sister misunderstood, I didn't mean that, I actually don't know much about business things, I just occasionally heard Lin Yuan say it a few times, it seems that the salt industry has been a headache for my father recently, because Li State does not allow ordinary merchants to sell salt, but Wu State allows, Wu Country is rich in salt, and there are illegal salt dealers everywhere, their salt is sold very cheaply, and because of their innate advantages, the quality is similar to that of our Chu family, even if my Li State explicitly forbids them to come and sell it, but the people are willing to buy it." and there is no way to ......"

Indeed, the people on the side of Wu are close to the sea, and the people there don't need to spend a lot of time and experience drying salt like they do, as long as they let the sea water bask in the sun, they can collect salt, and the next thing to do is to refine it.

"So, I want to remind you that if you want to do the salt industry, you must discuss it with your father, this is not a good job." After Duanmu finished explaining, he smiled embarrassedly and said: "Oh, I'm really ashamed, when it comes to business, my sister and Yao Cen must know better than me, I heard some from Linyuan, so I came to Banmen to talk nonsense." ”

Qingdi now understands that Duanmu said that just now for her consideration. It's really rare to meet a generous and pure woman like Duanmu, and sure enough, people who have read benevolence, righteousness and morality since childhood are different. At first, she thought that the Duanmu clan was afraid that Chu Yaocen would seize Chu Linyuan's business, and she really crossed the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain. What's more, if Duanmu really thought so, he wouldn't have asked it in front of her, but would have gone directly to complain to Chu Chengguan.

Hey, look at her intriguing with a group of men all day long, and her mind has become bad.

Qingdi smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Okay, thank you sister-in-law for reminding me." ”

As he spoke, the night grew deeper. Qing Dizi had to answer the palace before, so he went to call Chu Yaocen and wanted to go back with her. Chu Yaocen will stay in the imperial city for a few days, so if he doesn't finish talking tonight, he will tell Chu Chengguan and Chu Linyuan that he will come over tomorrow and continue.

After leaving the Chu family, Qingdi said to Chu Yaocen: "Then you go home, I will go back to the imperial city by myself, and you can escort me after killing." ”

Chu Yaocen showed a sly smile on his face, hugged Qingdi and said, "I'll go to the palace with you, I'm going to leave in a few days, and I'm really reluctant to part with you for a little time." ”

Qingdi also didn't want to be separated from Chu Yaocen, but the Queen Mother's palace secretly hid men, which sounds too messy, right?

However, Qingdi thought about it for a while, and decided to leave it alone, she is not the real queen mother, she is the real second lady of Chu, Chu Yaocen's wife.

Thinking of this, Qingdi asked his subordinates to escort Xingzi and Ling'er back to the house, and the two of them returned to the palace after the killing.

Chu Yaocen and Qingdi were inside the carriage, and they were killed outside. The carriage swayed, and both of them felt a little warm.

Qingdi dodged Chu Yaocen's fiery gaze and said, "Yaocen, don't mess around, the killing is still outside." ”

Chu Yaocen was helpless, and smiled: "What are you thinking about?" How could I mess around? Am I that impatient? ”

Qingdi couldn't help but smile and said, "You are." ”

Chu Yaocen didn't argue with her anymore, suddenly went over and hugged her, and whispered in her ear: "Someone has been following me all day." ”

Qingdi was surprised, turned his head to look at Chu Yaocen, and said, "What? Where is it? ”

"I noticed it when I first entered the Imperial City today, but I didn't pay attention to him and went directly to the Imperial Palace to see you. Now that the finish kill has noticed that someone is following us, haven't you noticed, have the movements of the finish kill become faster? ”

"Oh no...... Qingdi said worriedly: "The person who followed us, if he knew that I was not the queen mother, it would be over." ”

"Most people wouldn't doubt that. When he first saw me enter the palace, he must have thought that I was going to visit my aunt. Later, when you went out of the palace with me, it can also be explained that the queen mother went to have a reunion dinner with the Chu family, she is my father's sister after all. ”

Qingdi twisted his brows, is it really okay?

"Moreover, this person has been following us all day without any movement, even if he wants to make a move, we are in the palace, and we don't have to worry about anything." Chu Yaocen comforted her.

Qingdi was really relieved, and said: "What if it is sent by the two princes, what if my true identity is revealed in public when I go to the court tomorrow?" And even if he began to think that the imperial concubine took her nephew back to the Chu family for a reunion dinner, then why did he take his nephew into the palace now? ”

Chu Yaocen looked at her and smiled, and said, "You have really grown a lot, and you know that you are afraid." But no matter who sent this person with us, he is unlikely to debunk you if he is aware of your true identity or not. ”

Qingdi was puzzled and asked, "Why?" ”

"First, without evidence, who would talk nonsense? What if you're really the Queen Mother? Second, the two princes had just returned to the imperial city, and many things had not yet been determined, and if they did it at this time, they did not dare to guarantee that they would not suffer. ”

Qingdi lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded: "It's good if you are sure, you will not be wrong." ”
