Bang!
Old Master Bei was furious.
How could the Bei family's business be attacked in every aspect, with freight being intercepted and warehouses burned?
Old Master Bei guessed that there was a traitor, but he only thought about the managers, shopkeepers or clerks, and did not expect that there was a thief in the house.
Old Master Bei values the Bei family's foundation more than himself, and he cannot tolerate the second branch joining forces with outsiders to deal with the Bei family.
"I will return to Wanyun City tomorrow and tell the second son and his family to get out of the house. We, the Bei family, don't have such unfilial descendants."
"Dad, don't be angry. It's not worth getting yourself hurt."
Bei Chengye was worried about Old Master Bei's health, so An hurriedly took the teacup from the maid's hand and handed it to Old Master Bei with both hands.
After drinking a cup of tea, Old Master Bei was still furious.
At this moment, someone came to the door and told me that my cousin Bei and his wife were here.
Old Master Bei was immediately furious.
"Let them roll in."
At this point, Old Master Bei changed his tone and said, "Tie them up and I'll take them back home immediately."
"Dad, that's not the case. You just arrived in the capital, there's no need to rush back."
Bei Chengye hurriedly stopped him.
"Boss, you stay in the capital and help the emperor and the imperial concubine to start the papermaking business. I'll be there in Wanyun City."
"But Dad just arrived, stay a few more days..."
"I know you are filial, but our Bei family has a shallow foundation, and the Imperial Concubine has no one to rely on in the palace. The Bei family must stand up. It is our honor to work for the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine. Boss, you must not let the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine down."
Bei Chengye hurriedly said, "Father, I will do my best. I will definitely not let the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine down."
So, the next morning, Old Master Bei left the capital with his eldest grandson and his wife.
Emperor Jiahe gave Old Master Bei a group of people to protect him, and now he is counting on the Bei family to help him make money.
Although this papermaking technology could be brought to the court and handed over to the Ministry of Works, not to mention that the profits would be added to the national treasury, the various interests of court officials were involved, and the emperor was still poor.
A poor person has no confidence, let alone being an emperor.
Those old foxes in the court are always eyeing the money in the national treasury, asking for money under various pretexts and reasons.
No matter how capable the Minister of Revenue Zhang Yuan was in managing finances, money would still slip through his fingers.
However, these officials only thought about how to empty the national treasury, but did not think about how to make the people live a good life or how to enrich the national treasury.
Their only recourse is to increase taxes, increase taxes, and increase taxes again.
But the people's lives are already difficult, and excessive taxes will only drive them to death.
This is not what Emperor Jiahe wants to see.
While Emperor Jiahe was thinking about how to develop the economy, improve farming and deal with disasters.
Bei Lingyao stayed in Yongshou Palace to take care of her pregnancy.
After she became pregnant, the Queen Mother exempted her from paying respects to the imperial harem, and the Queen could do nothing about it even if she had objections.
Everyone was staring at Bei Lingyao's pregnancy, hoping that she would give birth to a daughter.
After the empress dowager finished her retreat, she summoned An into the palace and went to Yongshou Palace together to see how Bei Lingyao was doing.
Seeing Bei Lingyao's rosy complexion and good health, the Queen Mother was very happy.
Seeing that the Queen Mother valued this pregnancy and respected Bei Lingyao, An was happy for her daughter.
If you have a strong mother-in-law, she will only arrange your affairs and manipulate you, but she will not respect you.
When An married into the Bei family, Mrs. Bei had already passed away. Although Mr. Bei had a concubine, he did not remarry.
An had no mother-in-law, so she was directly in charge of the household after entering the mansion. During her time at the An family, apart from the worry of having no children, she also had to deal with the troublesome sisters-in-law from the second room.
So she is good.
Like her stepmother and aunt, they were very strong towards their daughter-in-law, and they strictly controlled her food, clothing, movements around the house, and even her husband's overnight stay.
After the Empress Dowager left, An asked whether Emperor Jiahe would come in the evening.
Bei Lingyao nodded, "I will come."
The Yangxin Palace and the Yongshou Palace are close to each other, just a few steps away, so Emperor Jiahe would come to accompany her whenever he had time.
An whispered, "You can't have sex in the first three months. You can only have sex after three months, when the fetus is stable, but not after that."
She didn't want to mention this to her daughter, but the concubines in the harem were eyeing her covetously, and being pregnant would easily give others an opportunity to take advantage of her.
Then he warned: "Remember, the royal heir is the most important. Only when the fetus is safe can you be well."
"My daughter knows."
Bei Lingyao felt that Emperor Jiahe had strong self-control.
After she became pregnant, Emperor Jiahe did not go to the palaces of other concubines, nor did he have affairs with palace maids. He took the initiative to sleep in the next room at night and was particularly self-conscious.
An left the palace with peace of mind.
On the way back, Old Master Bei met the second son's family. He did not let the second son go to Beijing, but brought them back to Wanyun City together.
The first thing Mr. Bei did when he returned home was to kick the second wife out of the house and remove her from the family tree.
No matter how the second wife begged, Old Master Bei was disappointed and hated the second wife for colluding with outsiders to seize the Bei family's property.
The second wife's family was driven out of Wanyun City, but Old Master Bei still had some mercy and allowed the second wife to take their property with her.
The second family cursed, quarreled, and blamed each other, and had no choice but to go to the second aunt's parents' home.
Father An and Mrs. An got the news and came to the house with gifts, but were turned away by Mr. Bei.
This time, Old Master Bei did not give the An family any face at all and was very tough.
Father An and Mrs. An returned to the An family with embarrassed looks on their faces.
"Master, what should we do? Bei Chengye and the eldest aunt haven't come back. The old man in the Bei family doesn't take our An family seriously anymore."
"Unfilial daughter."
An's father scolded An at home.
