Chapter 356
The Grand Princess frowned as she looked at the iron ore that was different from the other gemstones.
"Mother, what's wrong?" Ruan Jingge looked at the Grand Princess with some confusion.
Is that stone any different?
"It's nothing, it's just that this stone seems to be more than an ordinary stone," the Grand Princess said, frowning.
"Not an ordinary stone? This stone is quite cleverly shaped; it's actually a heart. It's only because the Prince of An is a child and our Nuonuo is still young that I would have mistaken it for a young couple wooing each other." Ruan Jingge glanced at it and then said with a smile.
"Hmm!" The Grand Princess didn't say anything, but she thought that if she wasn't mistaken, the stone should be iron ore.
However, she didn't understand why Xu Qingshi, a child, would bring such a stone to give to Nuonuo.
Does Prince An know?
If they could find the source of this iron ore, could they also own an iron mine?
The Grand Princess felt a pang of melancholy as she thought about how Lanno Kingdom lagged behind the surrounding nations.
If their Lanno Kingdom really has iron mines, wouldn't it be able to compete with those countries?

"Don't say I didn't take care of you. Consider this your commission." Cheng Qingli placed a land deed on the table and said to Manager Xu.
"Miss Cheng, what are you saying? You don't need to give it to me; I'm happy to serve you." Although Manager Xu said this, his hands were not idle; he quickly put the land deed into his pocket.
They'll wait until later to present it to the Emperor and claim credit.
"Alright, now that we've cleared things up, I'm going back now." Cheng Qingli said, waving her hand as she prepared to leave.
"Second Miss." Manager Xu quickly called out to Cheng Qingli, then waved his hand, summoning two thugs to come forward.
"Manager Xu, what do you mean by this?" Cheng Qingli looked at Manager Xu warily, thinking, "Could this person be trying to rob me of what I just won?"
"Second Miss, I'll have someone escort you back." Manager Xu didn't explain the reason, but still smiled and offered to have someone take her back to her residence.
After all, he had just noticed that some people had ill intentions.
This is the Empress's precious daughter; he wouldn't dare let anything happen to her on his territory.
"Just to send me back?" Cheng Qingli looked at Manager Xu with suspicion, feeling that there might be some trickery in his words.
"Don't worry, Miss, I just want someone to escort you safely back to the Cheng family," Manager Xu said sincerely.
"Alright!" Cheng Qingli had no choice but to nod in agreement, thinking that if the two of them dared to take her things, she would run away.
"Take care, Miss Cheng. Come visit sometime!" Manager Xu said with a smile as he saw Cheng Qingli off. However, the smile faded from Manager Xu's face after she left.
"Manager Xu, when are we going to Prince Lan Huai's mansion to collect the silver from this IOU?" the servant asked, quickly holding up the IOU that Huo Yunzhi had just written.
"No rush, we'll get this money back sooner or later." Manager Xu's gentle smile was nowhere to be seen now.
