The corners of Fu Xuanyu's mouth rose slightly, revealing a smug smile.

Emperor Fu Ming suddenly remembered a memorial recently submitted by Gong Qi, proposing to repair the roads in Phoenix City.

Combined with the water pipe concept that Jiang Yun just mentioned, a bold idea formed in his mind: if the construction of roads and pipelines can be promoted simultaneously, it will not only save time, but also solve people's livelihood problems once and for all.

"Yun'er, the tap water you made is very good." Fu Ming's eyes were gentle and appreciative. "Since it is a good thing that benefits the people, I plan to let Gong Qi come to the palace in a few days to discuss the construction details with you."

Fu Xuanyu's eyes flickered slightly, and he asked curiously, "Father, shouldn't we ask the Ministry of Industry for this matter?"

Fu Ming smiled and said, "Normally, this is true, but in view of the road construction plan proposed by Gong Qi before, plus Yun'er's new idea today, I think the two can be combined and implemented. However..."

His expression suddenly became solemn. "This matter is time-consuming, labor-intensive and costly. Now it is time for Qingyun Sect to come and collect tribute. The national treasury is empty! We can only discuss this matter later."

Jiang Yun nodded immediately after hearing this and said, "Father is right. Road construction is a big deal after all, and it takes time to make these water pipes. We can't rush it."

Fu Ming took another look at the water pipe and made up his mind, "Yun'er, do you plan to serve as an official in the court?"

His daughter-in-law is a miraculous doctor who can make all these strange and beneficial things for the people, which immediately makes him admire her talent.

Among the major events that happened in Phoenix City these days, when he carefully recalled the reports given to him by the secret guards, he found that each case seemed to be closely related to Jiang Yun.

He was also very clear about Jiang Yun's situation in the Jiang family.

He had asked the Queen Mother to summon Jiang Yun alone before, and his words showed his willingness to support her. After all, she was the orphan of the Qin family, and both he and the Queen Mother were willing to protect her.

But at that time, Jiang Yun never responded, nor was she willing to accept his and the Queen Mother's kindness. She even secretly ridiculed him and the Queen Mother, thinking that they were too controlling...

From then on, he and the Queen Mother never cared about it again.

The Queen Mother even scolded him in private for Yu'er marrying Jiang Yun.

At that time, Master Si and other ministers put pressure on him, and since Jiang Lintian came to the palace alone to ask for an order, he had no choice but to grant Jiang Yun in marriage to Yu'er.

And he did have some selfish motives at that time.

He also wanted to see Yu'er get married. Although this was very unfair to Jiang Yun, he still agreed to the marriage for various reasons.

Originally, he was thinking that after Yu'er left, he would let Jiang Yun live in the Empress Dowager's palace so that the Empress Dowager would protect her more.

But now it seems that every step was a lucky coincidence.

Jiang Yun looked at Fu Ming in surprise.

She originally thought that Fu Ming was very pedantic, but she didn't expect that Fu Ming would take the initiative to suggest that she serve as an official in the court.

It’s good to be an official!

As an official, wouldn't it be easier for her to do what she wants?

She knelt down directly in front of Fu Ming and said respectfully: "Father, your daughter-in-law is willing to serve as an official in the court."

Fu Ming nodded with satisfaction. "Very good! I know this is an extra burden for you, but I believe you can handle it."

Then he added in a deep voice: "It's just that I have to inconvenience you temporarily."

Jiang Yun didn't say anything, but kept her head down and listened to Fu Ming continue.

"You also know that the murderer who killed the entire Qin family and hurt Yu'er has not been found yet. Now Yu'er has faded from everyone's sight, and I don't want Yu'er to be in the vortex anymore. So this time you will serve as an official as Jiang Lu first, and when Yu'er is safe in the future, I will announce your identity to the world."

Jiang Yun didn't think anything of it when he heard it.

She nodded and said, "My daughter-in-law obeys your order. Thank you, father, for considering the prince so much."

Fu Ming looked at Jiang Yun gently and said, "You are also a good child. In the past, both I and the Queen Mother were deceived by you."

Jiang Yun was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered that in the year after Qin Fanghua's death, Fu Ming and the Queen Mother had summoned her into the palace many times, wanting to protect her.

Unfortunately, the original body was a fool. Not only did he not understand the meaning of Fu Ming and the Queen Mother's words, but Fang Ruoliu also tricked him into revealing what happened in the palace. Later, Fang Ruoliu provoked him with just a few words. In the end, the original body attacked Fu Ming and the Queen Mother with a lot of weird words, and completely lost the two protective umbrellas...

Thinking of these things, Jiang Yun felt a headache.

She really couldn't understand the original body's train of thought!

Is Jiang Lintian, that scumbag father, really worthy of the original body's heart and soul? ? ?

She looked at Fu Ming, who had an "I understand" expression on his face, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, father. It was my daughter-in-law who was ignorant and caused trouble for you and the queen mother."

Fu Ming waved his hand and said, "It's okay, just talk it out. I'll go tell the Queen Mother in person later that the Queen Mother loved your mother the most in the beginning. Now you are very similar to your mother. The Queen Mother will definitely like you."

Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Okay, thank you, father~"

Since Fu Ming already treated her as his own, Jiang Yun naturally wouldn't be polite.

She forced her eyes to turn red, raised her eyes and looked at Fu Ming expectantly and asked, "Father, I have the audacity to ask you a favor."

"What's up?"

"I want to go back to the Qin family to take a look." Jiang Yun said, then leaned down and said with a choked voice: "I have been there several times, but the Qin family is heavily guarded, and I was not allowed to enter every time, so I want to ask my father for help today."

Fu Ming sighed, "Hey! The Qin family was meant to be given to you. I didn't dare to give it to you before because I was afraid that you would give it to your father. Now that I know your true nature, I feel relieved to hand the Qin family over to you."

He stepped forward and personally helped Jiang Yun up. "All of your Qin family's assets are still in the Qin family warehouse. As for the fields, farms, and shops outside, I have specifically handed them over to the General Affairs Department to take care of them. I will have the General Affairs Department calculate the profits over the years and return them all to you."

When Jiang Yun heard this, she was delighted.

What she just said about not being able to enter the Qin family was actually nonsense.

With her skills, who in this world can stop her?

However, she went to the Qin family several times and found that there were indeed many treasures in the warehouse, but she did not see any farms, shops, fields, etc.

It turned out that it was taken away by the emperor to be taken care of.

I really didn't expect that this emperor would be so concerned about loyalty between the monarch and his subjects. Logically speaking, all these properties should be confiscated.

Although she wanted it very much, the emperor had contributed manpower and effort to this matter after all, and she would feel embarrassed if all the money went to her.

Thinking of what Fu Ming had said before about the empty treasury, Jiang Yun felt even more embarrassed.

"Father, please confiscate the profits and shops and the like. Consider it a good deed for my grandfather and his family."
