Chapter 294 The Wind Rises
Now, even General Zhang is secretly buying food from her granary, and I'm afraid she will launch a northern expedition soon.
If she doesn't come up with a countermeasure, she will only drag down the Qilin Army, who share the same hatred for the enemy.
To some extent, she was a little unfaithful.
In other words, she wants to open up certain permissions to the outside world.
Just like a certain pair, it will definitely be surrounded by crazy attacks.
In the face of Nanling's overall interests, her personal business can only fall behind.
No matter what she chooses, there will be unpredictable consequences.
So, at this moment, Su Shengsheng was actually grateful to Jun Yao for the timely help.
Otherwise, she really didn't know what to do...
Perhaps, she and he really cannot get along.
She would never be able to stand firmly behind him like Jun Yao and give him all her support without reservation.
She couldn't get involved in his career at all.
After the conversation, Jun Yao took his people away, and Qing Ning and the other two walked in with nervous expressions.
"Miss, what does Miss Jun say?"
If she wanted to disappear, she had to disappear without a sound, and leave before they came back.
Su Shengsheng caressed the baby in her belly that was less than three months old, and said sadly, "Jun Yao is going to enter the mansion as the main wife."
The three of them knew her situation, and if she wanted to leave, she had to explain it clearly to them.
If we don't want Xie Xuan to come back and cause more trouble, we must keep this child a secret.
Perhaps Jun Yao was too confident in his own abilities, so even though he noticed that she was unwell, he didn't think about it that way.
Although the three of them had some guesses, they still couldn't help but feel sad, "What are you going to do, Miss?"
Jun Yao is the queen, so how could the young lady be reduced to a concubine?
Even though it was common for men to have three wives and four concubines, Qing Ning knew that Su Shengsheng would never put her child in that position.
Su Shengsheng looked back at the three of them, but didn't answer. She just gently stroked her belly and asked, "Can you keep it a secret for me?"
The three of them looked shocked.
But it was also crystal clear what weight her words carried.
Now, the only one who can help the young lady rescue the general is the Jun family.
But how could Jun Yao have no requests at all?
The three of them looked at her with difficulty, and under her pleading, they had to nod.
If General Xie didn't know about the child's existence, the young lady would be able to leave so freely...
Fate is fickle and shows no mercy to anyone.
The three people who could only watch her walk on this thorny road were heartbroken.
…
When everyone was watching the Su family, wondering what Princess Xuanming would do next, they heard about her aid in rebuilding the other two disaster-stricken states in Nanling.
The previous Heart to Heart campaign has raised enough rice for the two states in June.
But it still can't help them get through the cold winter.
Even if there were rice bran, cake meal and other items donated by officials from various states of the imperial court, they could be used to feed chickens, ducks, fish and geese.
But once winter comes, if we can’t build a greenhouse, it will be difficult to survive for half a year.
We can't let the Su family continue to support the two states.
But the difficulty is that the two states cannot communicate directly because Beirong has always restricted transactions between the two parts of Nanling.
Therefore, the Su family's progress in investing in plastic greenhouses has been very slow.
But this time, it seems that the focus has been shifted.
The houses in the three states have been basically rebuilt and the roads are open.
Most of the laborers were relocated to build the dike in order to repay the Su family's loan.
But even so, it will take more than half a year to earn enough money quickly.
By then, every household will have food, and even the army will be full. Who can we sell it to?
But it must be said that the people are on the side of the Su family.
The first thing the laborers from the three states did after receiving their wages was to repay their debts.
In addition, the main core of the Qilin Army was as stable as ever, and the unstable part of the people also began to gradually relax.
Since no one took the lead in making a fuss to withdraw money, the situation stabilized.
But things did not go as smoothly as Su Shengsheng had expected.
As the imperial merchant family, every move of the Jun family is watched by the emperor.
The emperor asked the Jun family to keep the gold because he was afraid that Su Shengsheng would have the opportunity or use some trick to get it away.
The emperor's own treasury was empty, and although he collected some taxes, it was far more than in previous years.
But the disaster in the three states and the reconstruction of the levees also cost a lot.
The head of the Jun family is not someone who can be fooled easily.
Jun Yao's private transactions to make money finally caught his attention.
When he learned that his daughter had secretly reached a contract with Princess Xuanming, he was almost furious and locked Jun Yao up.
He advised her earnestly, "Even if you win and rescue the person, the person you get in this way has no true feelings at all."
Jun Yao was locked in the room, but her tone was not weak at all.
"Didn't Xie Xuan do the same?" Her eyes were cold and hard. "That woman only used him and refused to bear his children. Every time she took the contraceptive soup, it was a betrayal of him. A person like that doesn't deserve to be by his side. Only I, willing to give up everything for him, will make him understand that I love him."
"Alright." The Jun family patriarch was so angry he couldn't fight back. "Do you know that a man who stands tall and proud is most concerned about his reputation? If he knew he was being used as a bargaining chip, he wouldn't show you the slightest bit of mercy even if you drove that woman away?"
Jun Yao sneered, "Father, you once said that if you want something, you must hold it firmly in your hands and not let anyone covet it. I am just learning from you."
She slowly walked to the closed doors and windows, and said coldly through the door: "She is the one who betrayed him. Xie Xuan can't tolerate betrayal the most. He just needs to understand that I will always stand behind him. As for the silver, if you don't want to give it to me, your daughter will have to be buried with Xie Xuan."
"You..." The Jun family's Patriarch heard her threatening to commit suicide outside the door, and his face turned blue with anger, "You rebellious son..."
"Father..." The eldest son of the Jun family hurriedly supported him, while trying to persuade his younger sister, who refused to eat or drink and was on a hunger strike, "Little sister, what's so good about Xie Xuan? Do you really want the Jun family to anger the emperor and fall into an irretrievable situation?"
"By welcoming back the two saints, the injustice of the Qilin Army has been exposed to the world. The people of Nanling already hate Zong Zheng Ruijin, but his own throne is unstable, so how dare he turn against the Jun family?"
I didn't expect that my daughter would have this idea.
The Jun family's Patriarch's face turned pale with anger, and his lips trembled. "I really doted on you too much, I even had such a delusion."
Jun Yao, however, didn't care at all. "The First Emperor also rose from a general to the throne, so why can't Xie Xuan do the same? If father is a coward, he can just starve me to death, and that would ensure your loyalty to the emperor."
"You...you..." This time, the Jun family's patriarch was so angry that his face turned purple.
"Okay, little sister, do you really want to piss off your father to death?"
The third young master also knocked on the door and urged, "Mother is sick, please eat a little to make her feel at ease."
"Hmph." Jun Yao snorted coldly, "I obeyed you in everything, but what's the result? You still want to use me to marry into a noble family? This time, I won't let you go no matter what. If you are so cruel, then collect my body."
…
Su Shengsheng had no idea that the Jun family was in chaos and was only busy settling the matters at hand.
Once your family has raised enough money, they will leave...
