Capítulo 1998: Chapter 137: The Fall Guy and Finale Announcents
She doesn’t have any children now, how great!
The secrets of the Second Prince Mansion, even if Zhao Hongsheng guarded them carefully, were still spread out.
No one knows through whose efforts, but within two days, the entire Capital City knew about these matters.
Grand Scholar Yao Shijiang had only this one legitimate daughter, so naturally, he placed all his bets on the Second Prince.
Now that his daughter was grounded for a long ti, this old father-in-law had so thoughts of revenge.
He intended to let Zhao Hongsheng sweat, waiting for him to co forward and apologize, waiting for him to release his daughter.
But after waiting for ten days, he still did not see Zhao Hongsheng co to the door.
What angered him even more was that Zhao Hongsheng, in secret, grew intimate with the Su family.
The Su family’s daughter, Su Qiuyu, couldn’t handle the blow and was a bit ntally unstable, such a woman would surely not marry well.
Having Zhao Hongsheng reach out, though the Su family had concerns, they were still very pleased.
Seeing the Second Prince close to Su Zhe, Yao Shijiang was both angry and anxious, ultimately cutting ties with the Second Prince in a fit of anger.
Since his daughter was already useless, why flatter that Second Prince? Even if he becos the Emperor in the future, the Empress would not be his daughter!
Moreover, the current political trend was leaning towards the Third Prince, Yao Shijiang, being so smart, naturally realized that pledging allegiance to the Third Prince now had more future than following the Second Prince.
Many in the court shared Yao Shijiang’s view, so Zhao Hongsheng abandoned the falsely prestigious but powerless Grand Scholar Yao Shijiang, turning instead to rope in the current Pri Minister Su Zhe.
However, whether the final outco will be as he wishes remains unknown.
While the Capital City was in chaos, Third Prince Zhao Hongde in Jiangnan managed the flood control very properly.
Not only were the people well settled, but Zhao Hongde also used the dam interception thod conceived by Lin Yuan to effectively block the flood, minimizing the damage caused by the disaster.
Upon receiving the triumphant news in the Capital City, the Old Emperor was overjoyed and imdiately showered Zhao Hongde with accolades and rewards, even his mother Consort Shu received many rewards.
Of course, as the sworn sister of the Third Prince, Lin Yuan also received a portion of the rewards.
Though the rewards included things like silk and silver, for the money-loving Lin Yuan, these were the best rewards.
“The Old Emperor really understands !”
Embracing the pile of gleaming white silver, Lin Yuan contentedly closed her eyes, leisurely enjoying it.
Xia Zheng fanned her nearby, gently rocking the deck chair she lay on, and peeled grapes chilled with ice cubes to feed her mouth.
“My lady contributed strategies for this flood and even used her own money to purchase much grain, the old man rightly rewards you with this silver, my lady has made a profit this ti!”
Indeed it was profitable, the silver she spent on grain was not this much, and she collected the grain from the hos of the people outside the city; although she did not harm the common people, the purchase price was much lower than the city granary’s.
Moreover, with the Emperor’s bestowed silver taels and silk, she indeed made quite a profit!
Swallowing the cool grapes in her mouth, Lin Yuan teasingly scraped one finger under Xia Zheng’s chin with a smirk: “Brother, you speak well, it seems you’re a clever one too. I wonder, do you have any interest in ? Why not join my ranks and serve !”
Xia Zheng, tantalized by her, felt a surge of heat throughout his body, tossed aside the fan in his hand, and without changing location, directly toppled onto the deck chair, making it creak slightly under the weight.
“Oh no, get off, you’re crushing !”
“Didn’t my lady ask to serve? As your husband, I naturally can’t fail my lady’s wishes! Co, co, let’s start here and now!”
“You evil demon! Let go of ! Oh no, don’t pull my collar! My clothes, my trousers…”
