Chapter 685 685 With you, what should I be afraid of
Chapter 685 685 With you here, what do I need to be afraid of?
How many secrets does this woman have? Why does she always have greater potential after he thinks that he knows her well enough and knows everything about her?
This woman was really like an inexhaustible treasure. Every time he dug it out, she would shine brighter again.
Of course, this woman is also a trouble more often, such as now.
If she wants to bask in the salt and go to sea, she will inevitably touch the interests of others and cause countless troubles, just like Liulifang.
Fortunately, he didn't notice this little trouble.
"I can make a lot of money." Ji Yunkai pretended to be relaxed and honest, without mentioning at all what kind of turmoil she would cause if she wanted to dry salt in the small fishing village of Xinye.
How did the four richest people in the south of the Yangtze River, Yun Yang, Wu Hu, and others rely on to accumulate wealth that could rival the country?
Salt and grain!
Grain and salt are necessities of life. Although the price is not high, the benefits are not small.
The four richest men, Yun Yang, Wu Wu and Hu, almost monopolize the salt supply in Tianqi. If Ji Yunkai intervenes at this time, he will undoubtedly seize the food from the tiger's mouth.
What's more, Ji Yunkai's move is very likely to break the pattern of Jiangnan, and even destroy the situation that the emperor set up many years ago to use the southern wealthy families to resist the northern aristocratic families.
The Shifang World commented on her: She is capable of disturbing the world, and she is indeed right.
"You are not cowardly." Xiao Jiuan suddenly smiled, and his stern eyebrows softened instantly, like the sun suddenly appeared in the cold winter.
It's warm, but it can also shock people.
Fortunately, Ji Yunkai had long been used to it. Facing Xiao Jiuan's smiling eyes, Ji Yunkai said confidently and calmly: "With you here, what do I need to be afraid of?"
If it weren't for Xiao Jiu'an, a reliable supporter, she wouldn't dare to play like this.
If one is not good, it will kill someone.
"Yes, with me here, why do you need to be afraid of others." Xiao Jiu'an nodded solemnly, but he said such a shameful thing as a matter of course.
Of course, this is the reality. In Tianqi, there is nothing that Xiao Jiuan cannot and dare not do.
"You don't have to worry about the bet. As long as I am here, the emperor will not cheat on you." He would not allow it.
"I'm not worried at all." When Xiao Jiuan came back before the Lantern Festival, he showed that he cared about her and did not leave her alone in the capital and let her fend for herself.
On the other hand, if Xiao Jiuan did not come back before the Lantern Festival, she would be the loser and had nothing to worry about.
Fortunately, Xiao Jiuan did not disappoint her. Not only did he come, he also came so early.
Although there is nothing wrong in her heart, but...
This New Year, she was very happy to see Xiao Jiuan back. She believed that in the new year, there would be a new beginning, including between her and Xiao Jiuan...
Contrary to Ji Yunkai's happiness, at this moment, Xiao Shiqing, who was celebrating the New Year alone in another courtyard, was crying silently while looking at the table full of big fish and meat.
This was her first time to celebrate New Year alone and eat alone.
She didn't know how she could live like this. She had a family but lived as if she had no family. She had relatives but lived as if she had no relatives.
When she found out about Yan Bei, it was like a slap on her face. It hurt so much that all her persistence was shattered.
As she found out, Xiao Jiuan was indeed not her twin brother, but so what?
Even if he is not her brother, he is still a bloodline of the Xiao family, the heir of the Xiao family recorded in the genealogy, and her Xiao Shiqing's brother.
She didn't understand why she felt like she was possessed before. Because Xiao Jiuan was not her twin brother, she thought he was a thief and had stolen everything that belonged to her?
Is it because the mother-in-law preached again and again?
But she is not a brainless person, so why does she assume what the mother-in-law says?
The emperor is right, as long as the heir of the Xiao family is from the Xiao family, it doesn't matter whether he comes from her mother's belly or not.
Her mother-in-law cannot regenerate, is it possible that the Xiao family will have no heirs and Yanbei will have no king?
"Brother... I regret it." Looking at the table full of delicacies, Xiao Shiqing burst into tears.
She regretted being an enemy of Xiao Jiuan, regretting stirring up the turmoil in Yanbei, and regretting cooperating with the emperor. Now, not only could she not return to the Xiao family, she could not return to Yanbei either.
No matter whether it is the Xiao family or Yan Bei, there is no place for her.
The people of Yanbei would not accept a princess who sacrificed them, and she had no shame in going back.
"What should I do?" Xiao Shiqing covered her face with her hands, not wanting anyone to see the tears on her face, let alone the regret in her eyes.
What she had always believed in had been broken, the strength that had been supporting her had been shattered, and now she didn't know what to do.
Continue to be an enemy of Xiao Jiuan and seize back the Yanbei Palace that "belongs" to you?
But, does Yanbei Palace belong to her?
From the beginning to the end, the Yanbei Palace did not belong to her, Xiao Shiqing. It had always been her mother's obsession, and she had always lived for her mother's obsession.
However, after living for one obsession for so many years, how would she survive if it suddenly stopped?
Xiao Shiqing looked at the dishes on the table with tears in her eyes. The tears blocked her sight, making her view less clear. She vaguely seemed to see Xiao Jiu'an sitting opposite.
In an instant, Xiao Shiqing collapsed and couldn't control himself anymore. He lay on the table and cried loudly.
In these years, she has been sorry for Xiao Jiuan and this brother, but her brother has never been sorry for her.
In the years after the death of her father and mother, it was this brother who supported the entire Yanbei and created a world for her.
No matter how busy, how hard, or where he is, her brother will come back every New Year to have dinner with her, celebrate the New Year with her, and prepare New Year gifts for her.
Even though he rarely spoke, he was sitting in front of her, where she could see him, and could appear at any time when she needed him.
"Brother..." Xiao Shiqing shouted lowly and helplessly.
People always understand the value of possession when they lose something.
She used to complain that Xiao Jiuan was too cold and silent, and was not good to her sister at all. She even said more than once that they were not biological siblings. Xiao Jiuan only wanted to occupy everything in Yanbei Palace, so how could he care about her life and death?
But now that I think about it carefully, although Xiao Jiuan is not close to her, he does not ignore her. Everything around her, whether it is people or things, is the best. Whatever she wants, as long as she mentions it, someone will definitely give it to her.
Even when she wanted to take power in the military, her brother agreed without hesitation and supported her with all his heart, trusting her completely and never being on guard against her.
Even my own brother couldn't do this well.
However, she knew this now that it was too late.
She couldn't go back. The moment she poisoned Xiao Jiuan, she couldn't go back... (To be continued)
