Yu Rong paused for a moment, "It's still under rectification and can't be completed for the time being."

"It's alright, there's no rush. I'm just asking for now."

Yu Rong continued his report.

"The news about the Jincheng commercial district and the castle has reached Qingcheng, and some prominent families from Qingcheng have come to visit."

Anle yawned and waved his hand. "Well, this is good news for me. Sooner or later, the world will know about the redevelopment in Jincheng."

“And—” Yu Rong paused, lowering his eyes, “it concerns matters in the capital of Tianqi.”

"The capital of Tianqi?" Anle was taken aback. She hadn't asked the Jincheng government to pay attention to the affairs of the capital of Tianqi, so why was the capital of Tianqi being brought up out of the blue?

Yu Rong pursed her lips and organized her thoughts.

"There was a coup in the capital of Tianqi. The new emperor was forced to abdicate by the Third Prince's faction. The Third Prince, no, the Third Prince, is now riding high and has ascended the throne."

When Yu Rong suddenly uttered this shocking and explosive news, An Le was stunned for a while before staring blankly at Yu Rong.

"The new emperor has abdicated, so... isn't that a good thing for you? You won't have to avoid him anymore, and you can openly appear in Baicheng and even travel to the capital."

Yu Rong nodded. "Mm."

Anle's eyes lit up, and she grinned at Yu Rong, "That's really good news! Your two companions can now openly go in and out of there."

"This incident just happened a few days ago and hasn't been exposed yet, but it will probably be exposed here soon."

The Jincheng government was the first to receive news of the Tianqi upheaval.

The new emperor is still quite afraid of Islail; he sent this message to invite the lord of Jincheng to the capital as a guest.

Anle's smile froze. After all that talk, it had come full circle back to her. In the end, it was still related to her.

Want to meet the lord of this Golden City?

As the lord of Jincheng, how could she possibly reveal herself? She still wanted to live a peaceful and quiet life in the city, as an ordinary citizen.

“No, let the government find a way to postpone it.” Anle refused without even blinking.

Yu Rong nodded. This was within his expectations. If he really wanted to publicize it and expose his identity, he would have done so long ago. Why would he have kept it a secret until now?

Just as Anle finished speaking, there was a knock on the door.

"Happy boy, I am your aunt."

Upon hearing Yang's voice, Anle glanced at Yu Rong, gestured for someone to open the door, and casually stuffed the reply in her hand into the desk drawer.

Yu Rong handed over some commercial building sales accounts obtained from the Jincheng government to An Le.

"These are the recent sales records for Jincheng Commercial Street, as well as the business situation inside Jincheng Commercial Building, all recorded in detail."

Business was good in the Jincheng Commercial Building. I'm leaving.

After handing the items to Anle, Yu Rong went to open the door and then left.

Anle stuffed the accounts into the desk drawer and closed it.

Yang glanced at Yu Rong at the door, smiled at him, and then came in with a ruddy complexion, carrying a food box.

"Le Wa Zi, is there any other business that Zhi Yi needs to take on at the Jin Cheng government office?" She had been paid a hundred taels of silver for the embroidery job.

The generous gesture of giving one hundred taels of silver left Madam Yang completely dumbfounded; she hadn't expected such a large sum of money.

She thought she would only get ten or six taels, which would be the most she could ever get.

Because they didn't do any big work for them, they just embroidered some flowers on their clothes.

Of course, she didn't see the clothes or the embroidered flowers; she just heard Zhiyi mention it casually.

This hundred taels of silver was not what made Yang the happiest. What made her happiest was that the Jincheng government actually sent a lot of gifts to the Qiao family.

The fact that the gift was specifically given to Qiao Zhiyi by name delighted Madam Yang, as it immediately put her in contact with the government.

Madam Yang naturally knew that this was all thanks to Anle's matchmaking.

Anle smiled and opened another drawer next to her, taking out a design draft from the desk drawer.

"Yes, the government has a business deal that requires Cousin Zhiyi's skills. This thing in my hand is the business deal."

Yang's eyes lit up, and she was excited to hear this. She had just asked casually, but she didn't expect that there was actually something. In fact, she came here to get some food for the child.

Yang placed the food box on the table and reached for the design draft in Anle's hand, but Anle avoided her.

"Auntie, you can't look at this. There's a confidentiality agreement for this. The details of our business cooperation can't be leaked."

Then I'll only be able to show it to my cousin Zhiyi.

Ms. Yang reluctantly withdrew her hand. "I understand, I understand. Zhiyi mentioned it to me." She naturally didn't understand confidentiality agreements or anything like that; she only knew that business collaborations couldn't be disclosed to outsiders, and that was something she was aware of.

She didn't care what the government asked her to embroider, since her daughter was good at embroidery anyway.

As long as I can make money, as long as I can maintain contact with the government, that's fine.

"If this deal goes through, how much silver will be paid? Will the government favor your cousin more?"

Anle nodded with a smile, making empty promises to the Yang family.

"That's for sure. My cousin Zhiyi is now their chief embroidery artist, so we'll definitely have more business collaborations with her in the future."

Otherwise, my aunt could go and call my cousin Zhiyi over so she can take a look at this design. I can give her some pointers and point out any important considerations.”

Actually, the design she had was for a wedding dress, which she was going to exhibit and sell in the Jincheng Commercial Building.

This wedding dress is such a huge project that it's not something her mother and older sister could make on their own. The lace and embroidery on it will require her cousin Zhiyi to help with the work. With the three of them working together, they should be able to finish the wedding dress.

Actually, she could have grown the wedding dress directly. The reason she decided to make a wedding dress was because she still had leftover fabric. She had only made two dresses, but there was still a lot left. That batch of fabric was enough to make another wedding dress.

A flowing, ethereal wedding dress—just thinking about it makes one yearn for it.

If those young ladies from prestigious families were to see the beauty of this wedding dress, she could earn a fortune.
