Chapter 314 Xiao Yan's Plan
"Then mom, I'm going back to sleep." Erya yawned.
Although there were many twists and turns tonight, fortunately, the bad news didn’t last overnight, right?
Even though they will face many difficulties in the future, their family's hearts are together.
That's okay, the sky hasn't fallen yet.
I still have to make money tomorrow!
"Wait a minute, let me talk to you." Lu Qiniang called her.
"Hmm? You said you were very sleepy."
"No matter who you like in the future, you have to tell me. At your age, it's normal to have someone you like. You don't have to shout it out to others and make people laugh at you. We can tell it in our family, and no one will laugh at you. You have to let me know whether it's okay or not. Don't be like your eldest sister and keep everything to yourself. For something as important as breaking off the engagement, you should decide it yourself."
"Hahaha," Arya laughed. "Finally, one day, you said not 'Learn from your elder sister,' but 'Don't be like your elder sister.' I don't have anyone I like. I only like money."
When I was young, I always wanted to marry a rich man.
Now that I have experienced some things, I realize that the most satisfying thing is to hold the money in your own hands.
Like money and power, once you have tasted it, you will never forget it.
Now is the time when Erya feels the most accomplished. She can make some money through her own abilities. She is full of energy and looks forward to the future.
Her mind is full of money and she doesn't leave any room for men.
Yun Ting said, "I'll go back and continue reading."
He now had a sense of urgency that the end was approaching.
If we cannot stop the crown prince from ascending the throne, then the world will go crazy and the end will be near.
Before the end of the world comes, the important thing is to make yourself stronger, have greater influence on the world, and have more say.
Jiang Xuan took Daya to the kitchen.
"Would you like some water?" Jiang Xuan sat side by side with her on the bench, spread out his cloak, covered Daya's back, and put his arms around her slender waist.
This was Jiang Xuan's most outrageous intimate action since they met.
Daya was a little uncomfortable, but she did not dodge. Instead, after a pause, she quickly leaned towards Jiang Xuan and rested her head on his arm.
——Jiang Xuan was too tall, and she couldn’t lean on his shoulders.
Both of them understood that tonight was another deeper bond for them - deeper than marriage, they tied their lives and futures together.
So there is no need to be pretentious. They truly live and die together, so why should they be afraid of intimacy?
I even want to get closer to you, to make all the time we spend together more precious.
"Zhao Zhao," Jiang Xuan hugged Daya tightly, looking at the darkness outside with a smile in his eyes, "I'm very happy."
Finally, they can stay together.
"I'm too stupid to have thought of it sooner."
"Jiang Xuan."
"I am here."
"Thank you."
"Zhao Zhao——"
Daya interrupted him, "Zhao Zhao is so lucky to have met you."
"For me, isn't this a blessing in life?" Jiang Xuan smiled. "Zhao Zhao, I, Jiang Xuan, can say with a clear conscience that after six years of fighting and countless life-and-death experiences, I have lived up to the people, the emperor's grace, and my ancestors. Now that I can no longer roam the battlefield, I will live the rest of my life, risking my life just for you. No matter what the outcome, Zhao Zhao, I have no regrets, and neither should you."
Daya took his hand, looked at his fingers intertwined with hers, and said softly, "May I be like the stars and you like the moon, shining brightly every night."
In the house, Lu Qiniang talked to Xiao Yan for a while - in fact, it was mainly because she still felt that it was unreal that Jiang Xuan was going to marry into her family, and she needed Xiao Yan to help her confirm it, so she called Jiang Xuan and Daya in.
"Your father told you two to come in and discuss something. Don't look at me. I don't know anything."
Lu Qiniang felt that meeting with these three people put a lot of pressure on her mind.
What is it like for a cobbler to be with three Zhuge Liangs?
Lu Qiniang finally understood.
Xiao Yan drummed his fingers on the table and said calmly, "Even if we've prepared for the worst, we can't just do nothing. I've already arranged for Lei Longzi to leave the capital to develop more controllable gunpowder. If the crown prince acts recklessly, it'll be a disaster. I don't mind a repeat of the Lantern Festival."
Last time, he was innocent and the prince directed and acted out the whole thing himself.
This time, he really wanted to blow the prince to death.
He is a father.
Regardless of whether he is General Po Lu or not, as long as he is a man of blood, he cannot bear to see his daughter being threatened and abused.
Lu Qiniang opened her mouth wide, then closed it again, pretending to be calm.
This is normal.
If they won't let them live, then they'll drag him down with them before they die. It's very good and reasonable, but a little unexpected.
Xiao Yan had actually made preparations in advance.
"Also, we must slowly let the emperor and the world know the prince's true face and know that he is not suitable to be the crown prince." Xiao Yan continued.
The power of one person is insignificant, but if many people unite to oppose, the emperor will have to think about it.
"Father, if we were the ones to spread the news," Daya said, "given the Emperor's fondness for the Crown Prince, he would definitely send the Imperial Guards to investigate the source. If they find out it's us, not only would it be difficult to explain to the Emperor, it would also further infuriate the Crown Prince."
"This information will prevent them from finding the source," Xiao Yan said. "I plan to announce to the world that the Crown Prince blew himself up during the Lantern Festival."
He has been extremely careful within his capabilities.
Why did you steal the rice paper from the merchant and then try to compensate him in other ways?
Because the Jinyiwei will thoroughly investigate the sources of everything at that time, it will be easy to find the source of Xuan paper.
But so many people saw with their own eyes that the rice paper disappeared, and Shuntian Prefecture did take the case, so the merchant would not be implicated.
Xiao Yan was also very cautious in obtaining other things, so it took him so long to prepare them.
"After I print those things," Xiao Yan said, "I plan to find a dark and windy night and have the little god sprinkle them over the capital."
Let the Embroidered Uniform Guard investigate!
The most important thing about this matter is to plant a seed in the hearts of ministers and people, letting them know that the prince is not a good person.
In this way, the prince will have many eyes watching him in the future, and he will have to keep his tail between his legs when doing anything.
"I've been wanting to do this recently, but now I think it's best to do it after the engagement is broken off. The Crown Prince will easily become suspicious of us now, thinking we're harboring resentment because of Zhao Zhao's situation. If the Emperor grants the marriage and resolves the Crown Prince's concerns, then we won't have much motivation to do this anymore. This would actually be the best time."
