"Mom, An'er is still young. He doesn't understand his younger brother and younger sister." Xia Chiwan said with a smile.
An'er can't even recognize all the family members around her now, and she has no feeling at all for her younger brother and sister who haven't appeared in front of her yet.
The fifteenth prince had just been named crown prince, and such good news came from Xia Chiwan.
Soon, the general's palace was really happy. Every slave in the general's palace and Princess Changping's palace received three months' extra monthly salary.
The General's Mansion and Princess Changping's Mansion were full of joy, but that was not the case in other places.
Zhou Xuanchu finally vented all his anger on Xia Lixi, then got up from Xia Lixi, put on his clothes, waved his sleeves and left ruthlessly, when the housekeeper came to report something.
"Seventh Prince, several of our shops..." the steward whispered a few words next to Zhou Xuanchu, directly expressing that they had suffered heavy losses.
"How could this happen? Can we find out the matter?!"
Zhou Xuanchu narrowed his eyes. Although he no longer had the ability to compete for hegemony, he still did not want to be an incompetent man.
After swallowing the poison, Zhou Xuanchu lost his ambition to fight for supremacy, but his fighting spirit was ignited in other aspects.
It is obvious that the royal family should be very taboo about families like the Yun family, but three generations of the Yun family have succeeded Yun Zhanpeng and become ministers of the Great Zhou Kingdom. Why is this?
In addition to Xia Chiwan's role in it, what's more important is that Yunli Mountain has done so well that it almost controls most of the economic market of the Zhou Kingdom.
If Yunlishan declared a strike, the entire Zhou Kingdom would be shaken three times because of Yunlishan's decision.
Sometimes, when the strength reaches a certain level, what can even the emperor do to him?
Therefore, Zhou Xuanchu simply followed Yunli Mountain. If he could not be the emperor of the Great Zhou Kingdom, he would become a dark emperor and control the economic lifeline of the Great Zhou Kingdom.
Who would have known that over the past year or so, the shops he had built with great difficulty suddenly had problems recently.
Either the goods were heavily contaminated and damaged and unusable, or there was a fire and water leakage, and they were burned completely.
If it were said that this was just an accident, Zhou Xuanchu would not believe a word of it.
It was obvious that someone was deliberately targeting him!
"My subordinate is incompetent, and I haven't found out until now." The butler lowered his head and said with self-reproach.
Since everyone in the seventh prince's house knew that the emperor named the fifteenth prince as prince, they were all a little downcast, including the housekeeper.
The Seventh Prince's Mansion already had enough troubles, but as soon as this news came out, it simply added insult to injury for the Seventh Prince's Mansion.
"But those people must have quite a lot of background, and my subordinates discovered that whether the goods were destroyed or burned, all the money in the store was gone."
The housekeeper quickly said that if there was no way to get the money out in time, the banknotes could still be burnt clean, but the silver would not be burnt clean.
Unfortunately, after the fire was extinguished, there was not a single bit of silver to be found among the blackened remains of the shop. It was as if all the silver had evaporated from the fire, like water.
"The money is missing?" After hearing these five words, Zhou Xuanchu's eyes flashed: "It's him!"
If at the beginning, Zhou Xuanchu suspected that it was Xia Chiwan's people who were causing trouble for him, then his suspicion was gone now.
