Chapter 519 Dare to Oppose the Emperor
Although Su Wan's grandfather was also in the silk business in his early years, for some unknown reason, he always lost more than he earned.
Later, when Su Wan's father grew up, he expanded the family business.
But at this time, my grandfather's health was not very good.
After a serious illness, he soon left his family behind.
Fortunately, my step-grandmother is a kind person and has been very good to Su Wan's family over the years.
Although the whole family lived together and there were some minor conflicts from time to time, the family was relatively harmonious because the step-grandmother was fair and sometimes even favored the people from the eldest wife's house.
When she was tortured to death by the head of the family, she suspected her second and third aunts who were sweet-mouthed but treacherous, and several stubborn cousins, and even suspected that her fiancé wanted to break off the engagement and marry someone else...
However, no matter how much she thought about it, she never expected that this matter was planned by her compassionate step-grandmother who loved her so much.
Holding the black words on the white paper in her hand, Su Wan's eyes burst into strong hatred.
Her biological grandmother passed away early, and under the guidance of her parents, she had great respect for her step-grandmother since she was a child.
If it weren't for this incident, she would never have imagined that beneath that man's kind smile, he hid such a vicious heart.
Thinking of other relatives who were kept in the dark, Su Wan suddenly had a very bad premonition.
"Princess, please save me...save my parents and my brother..."
She crawled forward a few steps, fell at Yuxiu's feet and cried bitterly.
She is in this state now. She is not in a hurry to take revenge. What she is most worried about now is her family.
She was afraid that if she returned a little later, her parents would also be killed.
"Okay then, I'll have someone take you back."
Yuxiu also thought of this and reached out to help Su Wan up.
Anyway, the people from Yunlan Pavilion have already been brought here, and they have nothing to do, so just let them go with Su Wan.
"Remember, you are my princess's man now. Miao Village and the big boss have nothing to do with you. Just put on airs."
Yuxiu gave some instructions and called Xu Qing in.
After hearing this, he nodded and made arrangements immediately.
Yuxiu also customized several sets of jewelry and clothes for her and asked Linglong to dress her up nicely.
When Su Wan appeared in everyone's sight again, she had returned to being the arrogant eldest daughter of the Su family.
But compared to two years ago, the young lady's eyes are less naive and childish, but full of firmness and determination.
Linglong also changed into new clothes and jewelry. The master and servant got on the carriage and went back under the escort of everyone from Yunlan Pavilion.
This time when Su Wan left, she took more than a hundred people from Yunlan Pavilion with her. They were all people Xu Qing transferred back from Miaojia Village.
In addition, according to Yuxiu's instructions, he specially arranged several teams of people to go to several nearby towns with the lists of people who had been abducted and sold that Su Wan had compiled earlier.
When Yuxiu went to the yamen, she saw Madam Sun and her people waiting at the gate of the county yamen from a distance.
"I pay my respects to the princess, may the princess be blessed with good health..."
When Yuxiu got off the carriage, she put on a smile and trotted over to pay her respects.
"No need to be polite, just get up."
Yuxiu just glanced at her without stopping for a moment.
Madam Sun gritted her teeth and stood up with the help of the maids.
Looking at the slender figure, anger flashed across her eyes.
What are you proud of?
She only got a false reputation by relying on her family's power, but she was allowed to pretend.
Soon, Lord Sun also hurried out with his men. There were about seven or eight people in the group, and they knelt in a row in front of Yuxiu.
"Everyone, get up. This time, I am just taking a look. There is no need to be so nervous..."
Yuxiu's gaze rested on a tall young man next to Lord Sun for a moment, and then she spoke lightly.
My goodness, isn’t this the person who cheated on Lord Sun that night?
Mrs. Sun is really something. Even rabbits don't eat grass near their burrows, but she has hooked up with her husband's subordinates. I don't know what she is trying to do.
That’s not right. Lord Sun looks skinny and skinny, which really cannot compare with that man’s burly body.
Yuxiu shook her head and took the lead into the county government office.
There were several open boxes in the middle of the lobby, all filled with files.
"Let's go and take a look. I heard that you are planning to build a princess's mansion for me. I don't know if the taxes collected are enough..."
Yuxiu waved to the people brought by Xu Qing, signaling them to go forward and check.
It goes without saying that these are all neat and tidy account books, and even the most astute person would not be able to see any clues.
"My Lord, you are wise. Ever since I learned that this county has become your fiefdom, I have been preparing to build your mansion so that you can stay here when you come to relax..."
Lord Sun wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and looked at Yuxiu awkwardly.
In fact, this was just a name to fool the people. He had no intention of building a princess' mansion for anyone.
Besides, hasn’t this princess already been married to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?
Doesn't that mean she will soon become the Crown Princess? Chen County is so remote and poor that even if the Princess's Mansion is built well, she will not come to live here.
"Yes, I wonder how the construction is going now? When can I move in?"
Yuxiu nodded, looked at Lord Sun and asked:
"Then I wonder how much money has been collected in total? Where is the location of the Princess's Mansion?"
"This...this..."
Lord Sun was speechless for a moment. He secretly nudged the tall man next to him with his arm and gave him a wink.
These were all his ideas. Now that the princess is asking about this, naturally it is his turn to give an explanation, isn't it?
"Please calm down, Princess. The people here are too poor. We only collect a few melons and dates, and there are still many unruly people crying and shouting that they don't want to do it. It's really difficult for us to do it..."
When the man received Lord Sun's gaze, he immediately stepped forward, bowed to Yuxiu, and began to make excuses with a smile.
"Who are you? When is it your place to interrupt me when I am talking to the county magistrate?"
Yuxiu had a smile on her face and looked straight at the man.
Apart from his somewhat feminine features, this man does look like a decent human being.
Looking at Lord Sun beside him, it is no wonder that Madam Sun made such a choice.
"Your Highness, I am Hu Xiaotian, and I am now serving as the county magistrate..."
Hu Xiaotian quickly pretended to kneel down, and Yuxiu did not stop him.
"Since you are the county magistrate, and you don't want to share the emperor's worries, but dare to openly complain about the difficulty of your job, don't you have a problem with the current emperor?"
