It’s hard to resist.
In this situation, the allure of power is difficult to resist.
With power, others will grovel and fawn over you, a fascination intoxicating to experience.
He truly desired to rebel, to ascend to that lofty position.
Especially recently, living in a constant state of anxiety, fearing retribution from the Yang Family.
If he were the Emperor, he wouldn’t need to endure such tornt and unease.
But now…
His confidants have betrayed him, Yang Wenxiao knows his plans like the back of his hand, and he is now the cleaver on the chopping block, at the rcy of others.
More than ten billion taels silver, enough to pave all of Daqi’s official roads with blue bricks…
Insane!
The Yang Family’s demands are truly savage.
He originally only wanted to siphon off his wealth, but now it seems that it’s not just his wealth at stake—he could lose his life.
Yes, Mahjong and sleds, both are novel and can definitely make money.
But even if they can earn, how much can they really earn?
Do the two combined worth two million?
Two million, it takes five hundred tis two million to amass ten million taels silver.
Does Qiao Xiaomai have five hundred of these creative ideas?!
The Yang Family’s demands are simply too brutal!
Overnight, Yu Ang felt as if he had aged ten years, and the next day, he called his steward, handed him the letter from He Zhanggui, and tasked him with the Mahjong and sled project.
He couldn’t bear it; he felt crushed under the weight of those billions of taels silver.
He really wanted to just revolt!
Yu Ang’s steward, an old man who had been with him for many years, saw how haggard and lifeless Yu Ang looked, didn’t ask any questions, took the blueprints, and went to find a craftsman.
Anything from the hands of Qiao Xiaomai was no ordinary object; this ti, they were sure to make a fortune.
Anping Village.
As the Village Chief, Tong Tiehu couldn’t possibly spend every day at the manor. With the heavy snowfall, several hos in the village had collapsed roofs, nearly resulting in fatalities. He returned to the village to lead everyone in clearing the snow and repairing roofs, busy beyond asure.
In the midst of this chaos, Zhu Hongyun and Tong Xingda were stirring up trouble for him.
Tong Xingda incessantly inquired about what Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao were doing all day at the manor and whether Qiao Xiaomai and Tong Sanlang were providing proper hospitality. He wanted to et Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao.
Knowing Tong Xingda’s temperant, Tong Tiehu dared not let him et with Yang Wenxiao.
He imdiately called a few n and ordered them to keep watch over Tong Xingda, offering a hundred wen a day with no room for error.
To the n chosen by Tong Tiehu, earning a hundred wen a day in this winter was like pie falling from the sky. They took turns keeping a vigilant eye on him, even watching over him while they slept—at any rate, the Zhang Family was confined to the old compound, and being all n, it was no issue to squeeze in with Tong Xingda.
With several strong n watching him like this, Tong Xingda was filled with resentnt.
He wanted to et with Yang Wenxiao and Yang Hao, mostly to complain about Qiao Xiaomai.
Even if the marriage deceit had been exposed, what of it?
After all, the Tong Family had helped Qiao Xiaomai many tis!
With the grudge of the deceitful marriage offset by past favors, what remained was filial piety.
Qiao Xiaomai disrespected her in-laws, refused to acknowledge them, and proclaid in front of the entire town she did not recognize the Tong Family—this was outrageously excessive.
With Zhang Shi spouting nonsense, it was understandable for Qiao Xiaomai to be upset, but he hadn’t done anything to wrong Qiao Xiaomai.
To be honest, Tong Xingda always felt wronged, truly.
Since Qiao Xiaomai had married into their family, he had only asked her to cook more delicious food. Aside from that, he hadn’t said much, yet Qiao Xiaomai suddenly turned hostile, lashing out at him—he was aggrieved!
