The daughter of a general is reborn to save the whole family of the marquis

Chu Heyi smiled slightly and said, "Aunt, His Royal Highness King Cheng broke off the engagement with me before, and I took a mountain from him. When I was preparing to dig the mountain to build a mansion, I dug out iron ore."

Mrs. Anyuanhou was surprised. "Such a good thing has happened. It shows that God has mercy on you and has given you enough compensation in other ways."

"Yes, I think so too. But the iron mine is too profitable, and I am always worried that the court laws will change. But I am not liked by anyone in the palace, and I can only practice riding and shooting in the riding field every day. Miss Runxue, on the other hand, has a close relationship with the imperial concubine and is the emperor's future daughter-in-law, so she is very much liked by the emperor.

"So I would like to ask my aunt to ask Miss Runxue if the court has any new laws regarding iron ore? If so, I can take precautions in advance."

Mrs. Anyuan Hou was originally worried that she would say bad things about Runxue, but now that she knew she was talking about this, she felt relieved.

She immediately agreed: "I will ask her when I return home. I will send someone to tell you if there are any changes."

"Thank you very much, auntie, for your agreement. But if the court has a new law, it will probably be implemented on a small scale first, and only on a large scale if it goes smoothly. So, auntie, just ask quietly, don't make a big fuss, lest others say that our Chu family is speculating on the emperor's intentions."

Chu Heyi said: "Now that our Chu family has just won a victory and is in the limelight, we must be careful to prevent others from finding fault with us."

Dongfang Shuo's entire army was wiped out, and Chu Runxue's reaction was so calm that Chu Heyi could already vaguely guess how Chu Runxue would deal with him next.

Madam Anyuan said, "You are right. I will only ask Runxue about this matter. I will come and tell you the result in person."

"Miss Runxue has great ideas. I'd like to trouble your aunt to take care of this matter." Chu Heyi's eyes were very meaningful.

Lady Anyuan Hou thought again of what Chu Heyi had said to her on the morning they entered the palace, and she felt uncomfortable all over, but she did not make any excuses for Chu Runxue. In her heart, she still did not believe that Chu Runxue would do anything to harm the Chu family.

Chu Runxue is still the eldest daughter of the Chu family. She and the Chu family prosper and suffer together.

"Runxue and I are like mother and daughter. She will not hide anything from me. The rise and fall of the Chu family also affects her life." After a while, Lady Anyuanhou said this.

Chu Heyi smiled and didn't continue the conversation. She just said, "Are you used to drinking purple bamboo shoot tea? I'll ask Aunt Rui to pack some for you to take back."

Nanny Rui brought up the package of tea and handed it to the wife of Marquis Anyuan.

After Lady Anyuan Hou returned, she went to Chu Runxue's yard. Chu Runxue had just finished washing and changing into clean clothes, and was sitting by the stove in a daze.

Mrs. Anyuan Hou comforted Chu Runxue about the annihilation of Dongfang Shuo's army. Chu Runxue held her hand and said with a smile: "Aunt, don't worry about me, I'm fine.

"Victory and defeat are common in the military. Your Highness King Cheng suffered such a big defeat this time. He will not make such a big mistake next time. This is a valuable experience for him. I will help your Highness accumulate experience so that he will not make the same mistake again next time."

Lady Anyuan Hou clapped her hands and was very satisfied with the girl she had raised since childhood.

Although they are not related by blood, Lady Anyuan Hou treats her as her own daughter.

"I feel relieved if you think this way. His Royal Highness King Cheng is still young. This is only his second time on the battlefield. He will have plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Yes, aunt, I think so too." Chu Runxue smiled.

Then, Madam Anyuan looked around, sent the maids and servants away, and said, "Before I came from the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, Yiyi told me something."

Chu Runxue's heart tightened: "What's the matter?"

"She said that the mountain that His Royal Highness King Cheng gave her as compensation had iron ore dug out, and she could make a lot of silver."

Chu Runxue frowned almost imperceptibly. Chu Heyi actually told the wife of Marquis Anyuan about this?

That’s right, in such a big family in ancient times, even if two brothers lived in separate houses, in their minds, they were still one family.

Chu Heyi's father and brother have not returned yet, her biological mother has passed away, and the second wife was promoted from a concubine. Chu Heyi had no one to discuss such a big thing with, so it was understandable that she told the wife of Marquis Anyuan.

But Chu Runxue felt inexplicably panicked. She hoped that not too many people would know about this, so she subconsciously asked, "What else?"

She didn't even notice that she looked nervous and her voice was dry.

"It is agreed that this matter should not be known to too many people. She is worried that the court laws will change, so she asked me to ask you, have you heard any rumors in the palace about iron ore smelting?" The wife of Marquis Anyuan fixed her eyes on Chu Runxue's face.

Chu Runxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s okay as long as Chu Heyi doesn’t let too many people know about it.

Judging from the actions of Mrs. Anyuan Hou just now, I think they are deliberately hiding this matter. This is good.

Chu Heyi had noticed that the iron ore laws might be changing. Perhaps it was because someone close to Chu Heyi had heard about it when the emperor implemented the policy, but they were not entirely sure, so they asked Lady Anyuan Hou to ask her quietly.

It seems that Chu Heyi still wants to take over the iron mine for herself, so she didn't let many people know that she owns the iron mine.

Or perhaps Chu Heyi was worried that an innocent man would be accused of possessing a treasure, so he did not make it public.

No matter what the reason was for Chu Heyi to do this, it was extremely good for her.

She can deal with Chu Heyi and the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion according to the original plan.

As for how to explain to the wife of Marquis Anyuan and Chu Heyi afterwards... Chu Runxue's lips curled up into a smile, which disappeared in an instant.

At that time, the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion suffered because of Chu Heyi, so what else did she need to explain?

As for Lady Anyuan Hou, she followed her and was a vested interest, so she probably had no right to get to the bottom of things and ask her for an explanation.

"Aunt, I have been in the palace for many days, often accompanying the imperial concubine and sometimes grinding ink for the emperor. I have not heard any rumors about the iron mine. If there were any, I am afraid that it would have spread throughout Shengjing City and would not be hidden. After all, iron mine is the most profitable business." Chu Runxue said.

Seeing that she looked serious and didn't seem to be lying, Lady Anyuan Hou thought that perhaps Chu Heyi had misunderstood Chu Runxue about the last incident.

Or maybe Chu Heyi was deliberately trying to sow discord between her and Chu Runxue.

Lady Anyuan Hou believes in the daughter she raised.

"Heyi is indeed too cautious. Since there is no change in the law regarding the iron mine, it is all the better. I feel much better that Heyi has obtained the iron mine. I believe she will no longer resent you for marrying King Cheng."

Chu Runxue smiled: "Aunt is just worrying too much. A girl as good as my sister will find her own marriage partner."

Chu Heyi is indeed lucky, but Chu Runxue feels that her luck is not bad either, otherwise why would Chu Heyi choose to ask her about the changes in iron ore laws?

If she asked someone else, her next plan would not be able to be implemented.

It was just that Dongfang Shuo lost a battle, but it did not wipe out Chu Runxue's confidence.

She knew that those who had accomplished great things throughout history had absolute confidence in themselves and the situation, and were never easily discouraged.

So is she.
