Chapter 2245 It’s hard to say about the Su family
Qiao Xuan had a smile in her eyes as she complained along with Shao Yunduan.
The reason why she was fearless when facing Concubine Su was because she was sure of Shao Yunduan's intention. Thinking about the other people who eat under the Third Prince, they have to endure those idiots of the Su family. It's really sad and lamentable.
She didn't know about others and could only rely on her imagination, but she saw clearly that Concubine Fu Shu hardly spoke in front of Concubine Su Lifei, and she kept her brows down and her expression was reserved.
It is tragic that the daughter of a prefectural governor ended up being bullied by a vulgar girl from a bandit family...
The two talked for a while, and little An An finally woke up and stood outside the door looking for his mother and father. Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan smiled at each other and quickly got up.
After returning to the provincial capital of Huaixi, Shao Yunduan became busy again.
The next day, he immediately wrote a letter and sent it to Zheng Sangge, ordering him to strengthen patrols and precautions, especially for merchants and travelers from Jiangnan, who must be strictly checked. Once any problems are found, the suspect must be immediately kept an eye on and no slackness is allowed...
At the same time, he discussed with Jia Heming and others, and ordered them to take inventory of food, medicine, clothing, etc., and check the situation of weapons manufacturing - previously relying on Zhao Shu's caravan, a lot of pig iron was secretly transported from outside through some channels to make weapons and farm tools, and it has not been used up yet.
The reason why Shao Yunduan did this was to guard against the third prince.
The third prince may not have the courage to do so, but the same cannot be said for the Su family.
From what Qiao Xuan described, Concubine Su Lifei was so stupid and domineering, yet the Third Prince doted on her without limits. One could imagine how dependent he was on the Su family.
In other words, how powerful is the Su family!
How badly had Concubine Su Lifei been "bullied" by his wife? After suffering such a "huge" injustice, how could she not complain when she returned?
She has a bad temper, and the Su family's temper is probably similar. It's hard to say whether the Su family will launch a surprise attack in anger.
After all, people who have been pirates and bullies are unlikely to have a good temper.
If the Su family insists on using force, even if the Third Prince objects, it may not be effective.
When Shao Yunduan discussed this with Qiao Xuan, Qiao Xuan was quite surprised and a little unconvinced: "This can't be possible. Now is the busiest time for spring plowing. Jiangnan is rich and there are thousands of miles of fertile fields. It is time to take care of silkworms and mulberry trees. The Third Prince will definitely not allow a war to start at this time."
No matter how mediocre and untalented the Third Prince is, he is still a prince after all. There is no way he doesn't understand such a basic principle.
Who would start a war during the busy spring farming season? Didn't you see that the Second Prince and the Fourth Prince hadn't started fighting yet? According to the spies, the Second Prince was also rushing to do the spring farming. After the spring farming was finished, he would definitely continue to go north to compete with the Fourth Prince for the world.
The two brothers will never give up until they decide the winner.
Shao Yunduan smiled and said, "The Third Prince won't do that, but the Su family may not!"
Qiao Xuan: “….”
Shao Yunduan smiled again and said, "How about we make a bet?"
Qiao Xuan opened her eyes wide: "What bet?"
"Well, let's bet on whether the Su family will start a war. If they do, I win, my lady..."
Qiao Xuan glared at him and said, "I don't want to bet with you!"
If he wins, she will definitely listen to him. She has been in this situation for several times, and she will never let it happen again. Even if she wins and he listens to her, she doesn't think she has taken advantage of him. Anyway, he listens to her anyway!
