Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 165 The Concubine’s relative?

"Young master, the iron mine is hidden ahead." Wearing local clothes, Wen Chun and his subordinates hid in the woods, secretly checking the situation ahead.

"Can you tell that there is an owner?" Wen Chun has excellent eyesight and has not yet noticed that there is anyone guarding the area.

"Probably not. There's also information from the pavilion saying that this is a new mine, discovered by our people..."

The more Wen Chun listened, the more his brows furrowed. He immediately pulled his subordinates beside him and said, "Let's go!"

"Aren't you going to see it?" the subordinate asked in confusion.

"It will be too late if we don't leave now." Wen Chun stood up and was about to leave with his subordinates, but he heard an unusual sound of wind behind him.

He dodged past, and sure enough, a poisoned dart flew out, almost brushing Wen Chun's earlobe.

"Young Master! Be careful!" The subordinates around him quickly drew their swords, and the gentle people around also gathered around.

The person coming from the opposite side didn't speak. He was completely covered in black, with only a pair of eyes visible.

"Who are you?" Wen Chun brought few people with him, but they were all good players that Wen Chun always kept with him. They surrounded Wen Chun and looked at the newcomers warily.

The men in black did not answer. Instead, they each took out a very simple, unmarked blade and rushed towards Wen Chun.

"No need to ask, they should be the people sent by the Grand Princess to silence him." Wen Chun laughed bitterly. He was transferred out of the capital by the Grand Princess, and he knew that the higher-ups would never give him any clues. They just wanted him to die outside. So if the clues this time were given by the cabinet, there must be something behind it.

But he never expected that his mother would go to such great lengths to send someone to kill him.

"Young master, hurry up and leave!" The short boy who had been following Wen Chun was the best at light work. He pulled Wen Chun and was about to leave.

Unexpectedly, Wen Chun simply took out an embroidered handkerchief from her bosom, handed it to the short boy, and said, "Zhufeng, do me a favor and give this handkerchief to someone."

Qian Qiansui was checking the accounts. Xiao Qing was indeed not an ordinary person. After they discussed the specific matters of cooperation, Xiao Qing indeed provided her with an address. Coincidentally, this location was exactly the topic of the competition - Taozhou Port. That place was the closest to the capital among all the ports, and there were many ships traveling back and forth for trade on weekdays.

Because the Empress opened up shipping, the nearby shipyards have grown to a considerable scale. However, Qian Qiansui never expected that Xiao Qing, who seemed to be isolated from the six countries, would actually own his own shipyard in Taozhou Port, and it was hidden very deeply. To the outside world, the ownership of this shipyard was actually in the name of the Empress's confidant.

With this convenience, Qian Qiansui was not stingy. The lit technology tree brought a virtual teacher, and naturally brought technology. There were many experienced people in shipbuilding. Qian Qiansui only asked the virtual teacher to master the core technology and lead their own people to complete the construction. The rest of the things that could be mass-produced were handed over to Xiao Qing.

Paper, brushes, some notebooks that can be mass-produced, some simple tools, inexpensive cotton cloth, daily necessities that can be produced semi-automatically, etc., are all quietly leaving Tang Country and being taken by Xiao Qing's people to other countries, or even farther continents.

The endless flow of wealth made Qian Qiansui determined to expand the world. She used almost all the points she got from the technology tree in navigation technology and construction industry.

A drop of ink fell on the rice paper, and Qian Qiansui felt a pain in her heart. This was the first time she felt such pain after her physique was transformed by the system. It seemed that this pain did not come from the flesh, but from the soul.

"It can't be so ridiculous." Qian Qiansui looked out the window. Wen Chun had been out looking for minerals for several months. He had said that he would come back when he was about to give birth, but there was not even a letter from him yet.

"Madam! Someone is coming from the Marquis' Mansion!" Quan Jiafu is no longer the wavering fence-sitter he used to be. He is much more stable than before. He is in charge of many things in the Marquis' Mansion. He was originally inspecting the shops outside today, but his followers in the mansion found him and told him about the matter in advance, so he was able to get away and come to the academy first.

"Who's here?" Qian Qiansui didn't understand. The Marquis' Mansion was so low-key, so why was there still someone staring at her?

"He said he was the eldest prince's man."

"Who?"

Qian Qiansui knew Fu Lilu was not very smart and was easily deceived. She had inherited the useless genes of the previous emperor. But she did not remember that she had offended the eldest prince.

"The eldest prince's people brought the dowager's family." The whole family was also suspicious. After all, with the incident with the former prince, not to mention the dowager's family, even the former prince's family were ruined.

"Are you sure? Weren't they all exiled?" Qian Qiansui thought of the concubine. That woman should be doing well in the backyard of Crown Prince Itami.

"That's what I said, but relatives outside the fifth degree of mourning are still considered relatives, and they were not implicated back then."

This was hilarious. Qian Qiansui was even more confused. The concubine's family had already dispersed, so why were there still people trying to get close to her, fearing that they would be implicated by the former crown prince? Now that Fu Zichan was gone, what good was there in being a relative of the marquis's mansion?

"What are they here for?"

The whole family said guiltily: "They want to see the concubine."

He didn't know where the concubine had gone. To be honest, he had never seen anyone around the concubine again. However, the people who stayed in the marquis's mansion were all shrewd people. There was no point in investigating such things, so everyone chose to ignore it.

"Oh, I thought it was something serious. I went to pick up the Concubine Dowager. When the Marquis passed away, the Concubine Dowager was too sad, so she found a farm to hide away in peace and quiet. It's normal that she's not in the Marquis's mansion."

Qian Qiansui was so scared that she patted her chest. It turned out that they wanted to see the concubine. She thought that these relatives were coming to divide the property.

"Ah? Oh, that's good." The whole family was even more dumbfounded. They all thought the concubine was dead, and now they were saying she was at the farm, but they hadn't heard anything. Could it be that the lady didn't trust them?

A strong sense of crisis made the whole family look at Lai Shun outside the window. Could it be that Lai Shun had secretly usurped the throne while he was managing the Marquis' Mansion?

"Okay, send someone over to tell them that the concubine will go back tonight." Qian Qiansui turned around and blinked at Sang Biao who was lying on the windowsill.

Sang Biao yawned, gave Qian Qiansui a blank look, then stretched out his paw and made the number five.

Qian Qiansui secretly made the number three to Sang Biao.

Sang Biao was furious, and used his other furry paw to block one of the small claws, leaving four exposed.

Qian Qiansui raised his eyebrows and nodded.

I don't know what's wrong with this cat, but she has recently fallen in love with frying silkworm pupae. These days, few people can raise silkworms, but when Qian Qiansui was researching cloth, there was some progress in this area. And for a pregnant woman like Qian Qiansui, it is normal to be greedy.

As a result, even cats have gone astray.
