However, the emperor only accepted 30% of the profits.
Now, Li Tianyou has even handed the money exchange over to himself.
As for the land deed, Li Zhiwei didn't see any problems with it for the time being.
However, she didn't know for the time being whether there was a problem with the estate. She would ask Prince An to send someone to investigate later.
She certainly wouldn't take the risk herself.
"Yes, she lost five thousand taels of silver today, along with a mountain and this estate, which I gave to her. However, I don't think the mountain is of much use to me; I just gave it to them as a commission for Jubaolou," Cheng Qingli said truthfully.
Things belonging to the Huo family?
For some reason, Li Zhiwei felt that the mountain was probably not simple either.
"Why don't you take this silver note and buy back the land deed for that mountain?" Li Zhiwei thought for a moment. She didn't lack silver, but what if there was something else on that mountain?
Otherwise, if all of the Huo family's property is confiscated, will that mountain still be there?
"Ah, that mountain, I guess we won't be able to get it back," Cheng Qingli said with some difficulty.
After all, who knows, the shopkeeper might have already given the land deed to his brother-in-law, the emperor.
She was bold, but she wouldn't dare to provoke a tiger.
"Whose property is that?" Thinking about it, and having recently heard that Jubaolou had also undergone major renovations, Li Zhiwei suddenly had an idea: Could it be that it is the Emperor's property?
Cheng Qingli pointed somewhat awkwardly in the direction of the palace.
"Since you knew, you still dared to go?" Li Zhiwei sized up Cheng Qingli, thinking to herself, "The Emperor really spoils his sister-in-law."
"It's their first time going too." Thinking of this, Cheng Qingli still shrank her neck. She couldn't let her brother-in-law, the emperor, know about this. What if he blamed her sister?
"Take this to the Emperor and have him send someone to investigate. Perhaps there will be other discoveries," Li Zhiwei said calmly, handing the land deed to Cheng Qingli.
"Sister Li, this is to apologize to you." Cheng Qingli pushed the things back somewhat reluctantly.
"I'll accept the silver note. You can take the things to the Emperor." Li Zhiwei was worried that Cheng Qingli might be up to something, and also concerned that the Huo family might have something shady going on.
Otherwise, how could Huo Yunzhi have become the concubine of Prince Lan Huai?
There must be some kind of deal between them.
"Alright then, I'll bring something else next time to give to Sister Li," Cheng Qingli said after thinking for a moment.
"Wait a minute." Li Zhiwei suddenly realized that Cheng Qingli only had a maidservant by her side. If there really was a problem with this estate, it was inevitable that the people from the Lanhuai Prince's Mansion would try to harm her.
"Qingyue, escort Miss Cheng to the palace," Li Zhiwei said to Qingyue, who was standing beside her.
“Miss, the Prince has ordered me to protect you personally,” Qingyue said without hesitation.
