Chapter 232 The Minguo Mansion’s Plan

Just say that this female shopkeeper looks somewhat familiar!

She was actually the first-class maid beside the Imperial Concubine? !

That's more precious than the mistress of an ordinary family!

No wonder he has such a dignified appearance and can make people feel comfortable...

Are Emperor Tianwu and the Crown Prince so picky now?
Even such a person won’t be allowed to stay in the palace?

Or were all the palace maids released to become female shopkeepers? !
Lady Min Guogong smiled but showed no strangeness: "So it's a female official. I was blind."

Yun Que also smiled and said, "I am just a servant, not a female official."

The previous dynasties were all destroyed.

Even though she used to receive a female official's salary, that is no longer the case now.

My sisters and I were able to save our lives, and Emperor Tianwu and the Crown Prince were able to give everyone a chance to survive. I don’t know how many people are grateful to us.

Lady Minguogong thought about it, took a note from the nanny and handed it over.

"We want to hold a plum blossom viewing party in our house. I heard that the boss of Liulifang is also a girl in her prime."

"I wonder if the shopkeeper can help me pass this post to your boss?"

Yunque was stunned for a moment, then smiled. She took the invitation from Lady Minguogong with both hands.

"Our boss may not have time to come to Liulifang, but I will do my best to pass on the message."

Lady Minguo nodded and looked around at the various crystal clear colored glasses in the colored glass workshop.

Every set here is very exquisite and looks priceless.

But their prices are not that high. A set of six such exquisite ice and snow glass cups only costs a few hundred taels...

"In the past few days, the boss has opened four shops in succession, and each shop is doing better than the last. This is also a blessing for the Tianwu court."

"Ordinary people cannot do business in partnership with the imperial court."

"I admire this great boss very much, so I want to take this opportunity to make friends with him."

Yun Que nodded with a smile: "I will definitely pass on this message..."

When Xiao Yingchun received the post, he was a little confused.

She looked at Fu Chenan: What do you mean?
Fu Chenan looked solemn. He waved to his personal guards and asked them to go down and investigate.

A moment later, the news brought back by the personal guards made Fu Chenan laugh out of anger.

Xiao Yingchun was also stunned.

It turned out that Duke Min had sent a daughter to be a concubine in the previous dynasty, and she was later named Jade Concubine.

This jade concubine had snow-white skin and was very good at acting coquettishly, and was very much favored by the late emperor.

The Minguo Mansion took advantage of this to obtain the management rights of the only salt mine in Daliang at that time.

Later, the salt mines were controlled by Duke Min, and all the salt in the Daliang Dynasty was supplied from the salt fields controlled by Duke Min.

This privilege made the Duke of Min’s Mansion earn a fortune.

I thought this wealth and splendor would continue like this, but who knew Fu Zhonghai would seize the throne and change the dynasty!

Moreover, the late emperor was cruel and ordered the execution of all his concubines before his death.

Having acquired the salt mine before, how could I be willing to give it up?
So the Duke Min's Mansion prepared to use the same old trick again and sent the third young lady and a beautiful cousin into the palace.

Xiao Yingchun stared at Fu Chenan blankly: "My love rival has appeared?" Or two appeared at once?
Fu Chenan pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled innocently: "Not necessarily, what if he was going after my dad?"

Xiao Yingchun was caught off guard: "Cough cough cough cough..."

So maybe a stepmother?

Let's get back to the point: "Should I go to this plum blossom viewing banquet or not?"

Fu Chenan didn't care: "If you are curious, you can go and take a look. If you don't want to go, just pretend this post doesn't exist."

"Anyway, I only want you, and I won't marry any other woman." My biological father will definitely support my decision.

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yingchun nodded: "I want to see what the daily life of women in this era is like."

Fu Chenan immediately turned his head and looked at the guards: "Go ask Ningyuan Hou's wife if she will go?"

"If she doesn't have a post, ask Lady Min to send her one." The guard rushed over and replied soon, "Lady Ningyuan also received a post."

However, the wife of Ningyuan Hou had been a widow for many years and was not sociable. She always rejected such invitations as soon as she received them.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything. Since Fu Chenan wants her to protect Xiao Yingchun, she will naturally go.

Fu Chen was relieved: "I'll let the wife of Ningyuan Hou protect you. When that day comes, just follow her."

"I know." This time Xiao Yingchun was the one who behaved well.

Fu Chenan couldn't stand her acting so cute, so he pulled her into his arms and pecked her on the lips in a flash.

Xiao Yingchun:!!!

Fu Chen held her in his arms contentedly, sighing as he calmed his thundering heartbeat.

"Yingying, when will you marry me? I can't wait!"

Xiao Yingchun was stunned for a moment, but didn't respond.

If she were to marry into this dynasty and have to face so many women coveting her man, she would rather be single.

That's good enough.

Forget about having three wives and four concubines competing for favor and position.

Fu Chenan thought she was shy, so he bent down and kissed her at the top of her head, only then did he "comfort" Xiao Yingchun.

"Just wait, Yingchun Academy is being built at a rapid pace and will be open to the public soon."

"When I say I want to marry you, they won't dare to say anything."

Xiao Yingchun thought for a moment and changed the subject: "Since we are talking about salt mines, do we need to get some salt?"

The salt there is so cheap, they deliver it ton by ton, and there is no pressure at all.

Fu Chenan laughed: "I originally wanted to discuss this with you in the next few days, but I didn't expect that the Duke of Minguo Mansion would take the initiative to jump out..."

It would be impolite not to kill the fat chicken that is delivered to your door.

Little did she know that as soon as Lady Min returned home, she was scolded by Duke Min Lang Shiming.

"If you want to send your daughter to the palace, then send your daughter to the palace. Why are you teasing that Miss Xiao?"

"She is now the prince's favorite. They go out together and sleep together..."

The wife of Duke Min was shocked by these words and interrupted Duke Min without caring about the rules.

"What did you say? They've already slept together?"

"..." Duke Minguo was so angry that he forgot what to say next!
After a pause, Duke Min glared at his wife fiercely and said, "Even if they didn't sleep together, Miss Xiao's bedroom is located next to the East Palace."

"Is there any difference between those who live in the same room and those who live in different rooms?"

"The emperor is now in his prime, and the position of empress and the four concubines are all vacant. If the two children enter the palace to fight for honor..."

Give birth to a prince and raise him up...who knows who will sit in that position in the future!
How can a son-in-law born in one's own family be the same as a son-in-law born in another's family? !
When Lady Minguo heard this, she immediately felt that it made sense and regretted her decision.

"What should I do? The post has been deleted..."

Duke Min thought about it and smiled smugly: "It's done."

"The prince is already twenty-three, but still unmarried. It's obvious that he is not willing to settle for less."

"If this Miss Xiao..." If she is not innocent, the prince will definitely not want her anymore.

These days, it's so easy to ruin a woman's reputation!
Duke Min thought of the four shops that had been doing so much business recently that it made people jealous, and suddenly an idea came to his mind: "Where's Shun'er? Ask him to come over. I have something to tell you."

Lang Yongshun is the second son of Duke Min. He used to be good friends with Ao Guangchun from the Ningyuan Marquisate, eating, drinking and having fun together. The two of them have one thing in common: they are not dedicated to their work.

But Lang Yongshun was obedient. Apart from being poor at studying, he liked to have fun and did whatever his parents asked him to do.

Lang Yongshun had been married for two years, but his wife was infertile. Upon examination, it was found that she was ill and unable to have children.

Although his wife had no other faults, Lang Yongshun still obediently divorced her.

Duke Min and his wife are thinking of remarrying him.

If she could marry Miss Xiao... Lady Min Guogong also had some thoughts.
