Chapter 1131 The Enemy's Conspiracy
Jiang Xue knew that a turning point had come!
This letter, like a powerful medicine, instantly broke down the defenses in the hearts of the elders.
"What does the letter say?"
Jiang Xue asked, her voice calm and firm, like a paperweight, firmly suppressing the restless air.
An elder raised his head and looked at Jiang Xue with complicated eyes, his tone no longer as aggressive as before:
"The letter said that someone was secretly trying to sow discord between us and the Prime Minister, with the goal of..."
He hesitated to speak, as if he found it difficult to start.
Jiang Xue understood in her heart that it seemed that this letter had exposed the enemy's conspiracy and made the elders begin to waver.
She took a deep breath and decided to strike while the iron was hot.
"Dear elders, I know you have many misunderstandings about me, but please believe that everything I do is for the Jiang family!"
Jiang Xue said as she took out a few documents from her sleeve:
"This is the intelligence I collected in the border military camp, which records in detail the enemy's conspiracy and intrigue; this is the evidence I investigated in Shanghe Town, which reveals how they are gradually dismantling the foundation of the Jiang family."
She presented the documents one by one, and the elders reviewed them carefully, becoming more and more frightened the more they read.
The letters, intelligence, and evidence were like a combination of punches that caught them off guard.
Only then did they realize that they had been kept in the dark and were being used as a pawn!
"So that's how it is. It turns out we all misunderstood you."
An elder muttered to himself, his voice full of regret.
"Xiaoxue, we are the ones who are sorry for you..." Another elder also lowered his head, not daring to look Jiang Xue in the eye.
Jiang Xue looked at the change in attitude of her elders and felt mixed emotions.
She knew she had won the battle!
The depressing atmosphere in the ancestral hall suddenly dissipated, replaced by a sense of relief.
"Dear elders, now that the truth is out, our Jiang family should unite and fight the enemy together!" Jiang Xue's voice was sonorous and powerful, full of confidence.
"Xiaoxue is right. We in the Jiang family cannot afford to have internal strife any more!"
An elder stood up and said firmly: "From today on, we will fully support you and jointly protect the future of the Jiang family!"
The other elders also nodded in agreement.
Jiang Xue was filled with joy as she looked at the family elders who had reunited before her.
She knew that she had successfully resolved the conflict within the family and gained the support of the family.
However, she did not let her guard down.
She knew that the crisis in the harem was about to come and a more brutal struggle was waiting for her.
She looked outside the temple.
"Princess, someone is coming from the palace." The servant's voice broke the silence.
Jiang Xue finally resolved the misunderstanding with her family members. With the full support of the Jiang family and the determination to win, she came to Shanghe Town again.
The streets of Shanghe Town were still bustling with shops, but Jiang Xue did not relax for a moment. She knew that the road ahead would be long and difficult!
Jiang Xue was walking on the bustling street of Shanghe Town, and a silk banner fluttering in front of a silk shop brushed past her forehead.
The air on the street was filled with the aroma of various foods, and the shouts and curses of the vendors were heard one after another. It seemed that the country was peaceful and prosperous.
But Jiang Xue knew that beneath this calm appearance, there were unknown dangers hidden.
However, when she began to consolidate her business power, she found that things were far from as simple as she had imagined.
The richest man in Shanghe Town, who was tricked by her last time, was obviously unwilling to admit defeat. He made small moves behind the scenes and joined other businesses to boycott her.
"This old guy is really a cockroach, he can't be killed!"
Jiang Xue cursed inwardly, her delicate brows slightly furrowed.
She ran around hoping to find a partner to cooperate with, but she found that the merchants in Shanghe Town avoided her as if they had agreed to do so.
"I'm so sorry, Princess, we are just a small business and we can't afford to suffer any more!"
The owner of a grain and oil shop sent her out the door with a smile on his face, but there was a subtle hint of evasion in that smile.
"Princess, we appreciate your kindness, but..."
The owner of a tea shop even directly rejected her request for cooperation. His reasons were very convincing, but they could not hide the fear in his eyes.
Walking in the streets of Shanghe Town, Jiang Xue could clearly feel that those businessmen who once greeted her with a smile now kept their distance from her.
The feeling of being isolated and depressed surged into her heart like a tide, making her feel extremely depressed.
"Am I really going to be trapped and die in this small town of Shanghe?"
She looked up at the sky. It was cloudless and the sunlight was blinding, but it could not penetrate the haze in her heart.
Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and a childish voice rang out: "Sister, are you looking for Uncle Li? It seems that he went to the richest man's house today..."
Jiang Xue turned around suddenly. Uncle Li was a famous cloth merchant in Shanghe Town, and was always known for his loyalty and righteousness. Why did he suddenly go to the richest man's house?
Could it be that...
It seems that some things need to be settled.
"Walk!"
Jiang Xue's eyes narrowed, and she walked straight towards the residence of the richest man in Shanghe Town with her maid. She wanted to see what tricks this old fox was playing.
Jiang Xue came to the richest man's mansion in a rage, but the gate with carved beams and painted buildings looked as fragile as paper in her eyes.
"Go and inform them that the princess has arrived!"
Her tone was so cold that the gatekeeper was so scared that he ran inside.
After a while, the richest man in Shanghe Town came out with a protruding belly and a big smile on his face.
"Hey, what brings you here, Princess? Please come in, please come in!"
This hypocritical smile made Jiang Xue sneer in her heart.
"Don't try that on me!"
Jiang Xue interrupted his greeting without any hesitation: "I already know that you are secretly joining forces with other businesses to boycott me. If you are smart, stop it immediately, otherwise..."
"What else?"
The smile on the richest man's face disappeared instantly, replaced by a disdainful sneer:
"Princess, this Shanghe Town is not your princess residence. You can't control everything. I advise you to go back as soon as possible. The right thing to do is to take care of your husband and children."
As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a contract from his sleeve and showed it to Jiang Xue proudly.
"This is the cooperation agreement I just signed. With it, I have the final say on the business of Shanghe Town!"
Jiang Xue took the contract and looked at it, her face suddenly turned pale.
This agreement actually monopolized most of the resources of Shanghe Town into the hands of the richest man, which was clearly intended to force her into a desperate situation.
The merchants watching the excitement around were whispering, and the tense atmosphere spread like a spider web.
Jiang Xue felt a chill running from the soles of her feet to the top of her head. The sky over Shanghe Town also became gloomy, with dark clouds overhead, as if foreshadowing that a bigger storm was about to come.
The capital chain was broken and goods were piled up like mountains. Jiang Xue looked at the dazzling array of goods in the warehouse, but no one was interested in buying them, and she was extremely anxious.
