His shout attracted Sister Feng to walk towards him quickly. Leng Yu also noticed Ah Hou at this time, and he also walked towards him with a frown.
Several nearby officers holding whips gathered around and surrounded the queen.
Sister Feng asked angrily:
"What's going on?"
The officer stepped forward cautiously and replied:
"Miss Feng, this is disobedient."
Following the officer's finger, Fengjie looked at the empress. When she saw the empress's face clearly, she smiled contemptuously and then looked at Leng Yu.
She recognized that Ah Hou was the person who had escaped from the street that day, and his sudden appearance here made her suspicious.
Ah Hou did not want to hide his identity. When he saw Leng Yu, he immediately rushed to him.
"Sir, you're really here. You've been driving me crazy. Are you okay?"
Leng Yu glanced at Sister Feng with the corner of his eyes, then shook his head coldly.
"Do I look like I'm in trouble? Miss Feng treats me very well, so why are you here?"
"I……"
Ah Hou scratched her head embarrassedly.
"You left, and my wife is nowhere to be found. I'm penniless and don't dare go back, fearing that the master will beat me with a stick. I can only find a place to beg for food. Who would have thought that I would be brought here and have the good fortune to find you, sir? This is really wonderful."
His reasons sounded very convincing, but Sister Feng still looked at Leng Yu warily.
She waited for him to come and plead with her to give the guard a lighter position.
But what she didn't expect was that Leng Yu directly ordered the queen:
"Well, at least here you don't have to worry about food and drink. You have to work hard and don't be lazy."
"Sir, I understand. I'm relieved to see that you're okay. By the way, when are we going back?"
"I'm not going back for now. Just focus on your work here."
When saying this, Leng Yu looked at Ah Hou with cold eyes. Feng Jie saw all of this.
"I understand. Sir, since I have been with you for many years, please send me some food and drink. I am not used to the steamed bun porridge here."
Leng Yu waved his hands impatiently, "Get to work!"
He then came to Sister Feng and said to her with a wry smile:
"Let's go!"
Sister Feng glanced at the aggrieved Empress, and nodded to Leng Yu.
"Well, go inside and rest. I'm tired."
After Leng Yu nodded, he left first. After Fengjie gave a few instructions to the servants beside her, she quickly ran in the direction he left.
After the two of them came into the house, Sister Feng couldn't help asking:
"Do you want to leave here?"
Leng Yu shook his head without even thinking.
"No, I'm thinking about how to mine more gold. I just looked carefully and the ore here has a very high gold content. If we mine it, we will definitely produce a lot of gold..."
"Didn't you say your Liu family has a lot of silver? Why are you interested in this gold ore?"
"Oh, who in this world would be dissatisfied with having too much gold and silver? Besides, if you have enough gold and silver, you can have anything you want, right?"
As he spoke, he looked at Sister Feng cunningly.
"Are you willing to own only 30% of the shares here?"
Sister Feng hesitated for a moment, then looked at him with a frown.
"you mean?"
Leng Yu raised his eyebrows proudly.
"This gold mine has an inexhaustible supply of gold ore. If it belonged to just you and me, we would soon be as rich as a nation. By then, not only would we meet the Empress, but even the Emperor might have to bow and scrape to us."
His words made Fengjie fall into deep thought.
This gold mine was a legacy left by her ancestors, but due to lack of manpower, it had not been mined until her father's generation.
Over the years, most of the gold produced in this gold mine has been divided up, and she only kept a small portion. She was naturally unwilling to accept this, but what else could she do?
Seeing Leng Yu mention this, she immediately looked at him alertly.
"But...but my sister has the Empress as her backer. She has long said that if anyone dares to be unfaithful to her, she will have the Empress mobilize the surrounding troops to deal with them. The soldiers in the army are as fierce as tigers, and they will crush us like ants. They don't even take our small Yilan County seriously."
Fengjie's words made Leng Yu even more certain that the sisters she was talking about didn't recognize Lan'er at all.
But she made up such a lame story to scare them, and they actually believed it.
He frowned immediately.
"I came from the capital, and I've only heard that the imperial army can be mobilized when there's a war or when you see a military token. How could you, sister, possess such magical powers? You could easily mobilize the Daning Kingdom's army?"
"She may not have great magical powers, but she has a strong backing. She and the Empress are like sisters. They often sit together to drink tea and chat. The Empress tells her everything. She even said that as long as the Empress and the Emperor say a word, mobilizing the troops in this remote area is a piece of cake!"
Listening to Sister Feng's words going off topic, Leng Yu didn't want to explain to her anymore. He simply said seriously:
"If you don't want to be led around by the nose by others, then don't be afraid. I've noticed over the past two days that you're the one taking care of everything in this mine. Do you have the heart to let others take a piece of your profits? I think it's reasonable for you to take at least 70% of the mine's profits."
Leng Yu's words successfully aroused the dissatisfaction that had been hidden in Feng Jie's heart. She immediately clenched the teacup in her hand and nodded in hatred.
"You're right. I work myself to death every day and still have to take their orders. They don't do anything, yet they take 70% of the profits. That's not fair. The profit-sharing day is coming up in a few days. I've decided to start by giving them a 20% reduction in profits, citing poor returns, and then we can take it slow."
