FARM GIRL TURNS EVERYTHING AROUND: SLY HUSBAND, LET'S FARM

Chapter 887: Chapter 887: Should Have Bestowed Qiao Xiaomai to Yang Ye Earlier_1

Yang Wenxiao was thoroughly impressed with Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to make money.

It was a deep admiration that bordered on reverence.

A simple toy made of wood had raked in a million taels of silver for Jiwei Residence.

This was after Yu Ang initially misjudged people’s purchasing power. If there were 5,000 more carts, they could have raked in two million taels silver.

Two million taels silver, that’s roughly the annual fiscal revenue of a prefecture.

Had Qiao Xiaomai displayed such a capacity for amassing wealth before her marriage to Tong Sanlang, he would definitely have interfered by issuing a royal decree for her marriage: giving Qiao Xiaomai to Yang Ye.

At that time, he thought Qiao Xiaomai’s only talent beyond the ordinary was in her culinary gifts, little did he know she could cause a stir in other areas as well.

Little carts, heated kang beds, both fun and practical.

Now she was just the wife of a successful candidate in the imperial examinations, hindered by her status, which significantly discounted her money-making ability.

If she became the princess consort of Prince Wei, with the royal family as her support, she would certainly be unrestrained, taking whatever measures necessary to amass wealth quickly.

She had the ability to extract silver from the pockets of the Aristocratic Families.

Such ability was no small feat.

By then, there would be no need for him to exhaust himself dealing with those Aristocratic Families, as Qiao Xiaomai alone could squeeze them dry.

Without money, how could these people who pride themselves on noble blood remain arrogant?

When the time came, he would deal with them decisively and cleanly.

Alas, hindsight comes at a premium.

He had misread the situation, underestimating Qiao Xiaomai’s ability to earn money, resulting in her becoming daughter-in-law to the Gu Family.

Tsk, this Gu Yu, the woman he fancied was dragged down to her death by this incompetent good-for-nothing Gu Yu.

The granddaughter-in-law he coveted also ended up with the Gu Family.

Ironic twists of fate.

While Yang Wenxiao was lost in thought, another little eunuch came with news that snow had fallen today, and His Highness Prince Duan had especially sent sheep purchased from the northern grasslands, for him to have hotpot.

Upon hearing this, Yang Wenxiao couldn’t help but click his tongue again.

“Understood his intentions, go ahead and see to it that he is appropriately rewarded,” he said.

Gao Lian acknowledged the command.

Watching Gao Lian turn to instruct the eunuch, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

Treasures, treasures that tantalize people’s hearts.

Cen Hong and Yang Wang still hadn’t given up.

However, their ambition was limited to this.

They were not destined for greatness.

Behind Yang Wang was the Empress Li, and behind her stood the Liu Family. Since Yang Wang had made such a move, it seemed about time to completely uproot the Liu Family.

Thinking of the situation that would ensue, Yang Wenxiao curled the corner of his mouth, casually throwing the letter in his hand into the brazier.

The paper touched the flames, burning for a few moments before turning to ashes.

The manor.

The fifty men sent by Yang Wenxiao arrived quickly. In the dead of winter, with the ground frozen, construction work could no longer continue, so Qiao Xiaomai arranged for these men to stay at the Guest House.

Located within the manor, these arrangements also conveniently ensured the manor’s security.

One hundred guards, divided into three shifts, patrolled day and night without pause.

Small snowflakes began to drift in Capital City, and Bailu Town saw flurries as well; the chill wind laced with snowflakes stung the face upon impact.

The water in the well had frozen. Qiao Xiaomai refrained from touching water, and the cooking was handed over to sisters Qiao Zhaodi and Qiao Yindi.

Household chores were given to Wang Tiesheng and his wife, and she became a complete lady of the manor—if there was nothing pressing, she could stay on the heated kang bed all day long.

She detested this kind of weather the most, so gloomy and cold.

Qiao Changshun was initially unaware that his family hall had become a pitfall. However, upon seeing the sudden doubling of guards and constant patrols around the manor both day and night, he sensed something was wrong and asked Qiao Xiaomai what had happened.
