Qiao Tianjing smiled and nodded, then picked up another book and flipped through it casually.

Han Yaxian was so shocked that her beautiful eyes widened.

She had only taken a cursory glance and discovered that the transactions in the account book were frighteningly numerous. How much money must be involved!

Her father was devoted to official business and was not good at business.

Therefore, the Han family has always relied on the father's salary, as well as a few shops and fertile fields passed down from their ancestors to make a living.

Although her life was not rich, it was better than most, and she was always content.

As for the Qiao family, she knew that their conditions must be much better than the Han family. Whether it was her father-in-law, Qiao Lang or her second brother, they all received salaries.

Furthermore, my father-in-law had made great military achievements and was famous all over the world. The rewards from the palace flowed into the Qiao family like water, which was also a great foundation.

However, the richest person in the family should be my mother. After all, it is widely rumored in the capital that when Duke Yan married his daughter, it took three full hours to carry the dowry into the Qiao family.

Therefore, Han Yaxian has always had a high regard for the wealth accumulated by the Qiao family.

But at this moment, when she saw the account books in front of her, she realized that she was still a frog in the well!

“This…this…”

Han Yaxian hesitated for a long time, and finally looked at Qiao Tianjing and said hesitantly:

"Qiao Lang, our family...hasn't done anything bad, right?"

Qiao Tianjing couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, and pulled Han Yaxian to sit aside, saying with a smile:

"Is that how Xian'er sees me?"

Han Yaxian quickly shook her head and denied it. "No, I... I was just too shocked. This box full of account books is really..."

Qiao Tianjing suddenly exerted a little force on his hands and pulled Han Yaxian to sit on his lap.

Han Yaxian blushed and was about to stand up, but Qiao Tianjing had already put his arm around her waist and said seriously:

"I started a small business at home, so I made some money."

Han Yaxian was instantly attracted by these words, and did not care whether being so intimate in the study was inappropriate or not.

"Small business? What kind of small business can use so many account books?"

Qiao Tianjing smiled when he heard this, "Xian'er, you should have heard of the three things that have been popular in Beijing recently."

Han Yaxian was stunned at first, then opened her mouth slightly.

"Qiao Lang, is that Qingzhou business yours?"

Qiao Tianjing nodded slightly.

Han Yaxian couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her mouth.

She knew that three popular things had been sent over from Qingzhou some time ago, which had fascinated the ladies and young ladies in the Beijing circle.

At that time, her wedding was approaching, and her mother gritted her teeth and bought some things for her.

It turns out that after going around in circles, the money finally ends up in my pocket!

When Qiao Tianjing saw Han Yaxian's reaction, he took her hand and said sincerely:

"Xian'er, I didn't mean to hide it from you at first. I just thought that since you just got married, I wanted to let you relax for a while."

"Look, now that you've looked at these account books, you have to help your husband."

Han Yaxian naturally wouldn't care about these things. After she got married, both Qiao Lang and her parents were very kind to her, and she was already very grateful in her heart.

Just ask those girls who marry into their husband’s family, how many of them can live as comfortably and happily as she does?

Instead, it was Qiao Tianjing who asked her for help, which made her feel more pressured.

"Qiao Lang, such a large amount of money is involved in too many things. I... I'm afraid I can't help you with anything."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Tianjing immediately shook his head seriously.

"Xian'er, why should you underestimate yourself?"

"I know. My Xian'er is well-read and has a lot of knowledge. She is not an ordinary girl."

"Even if Xian'er is married to me now, I don't want her to be trapped in a small courtyard and bury her talents."

When Han Yaxian heard these remarks, she looked up at Qiao Tianjing in shock, feeling both surprised and moved.

Since their marriage, Qiao Tianjing has given her so many surprises, and his words now make her feel that she has married the right person.

Qiao Tianjing touched Han Yaxian's cheek and continued:

"Of course, Xian'er can try it first. Account book business is extremely tedious. If Xian'er is not interested here, we can try other things."

Han Yaxian immediately shook her head, with genuine joy on her face.

"Qiao Lang, I am not afraid of tedious things. Before I got married, my mother asked me to learn how to manage the household. I think there is a lot of knowledge in this, and it is very interesting!"

When Han Yaxian said this, the corners of her mouth raised and her eyes sparkled.

Seeing this, Qiao Tianjing gently tilted his head and said with a smile:

"Since Xian'er is so capable, I have to tell you more."

Han Yaxian looked over curiously when she heard that.

Qiao Tianjing lowered his voice and told Han Yaxian everything in the court, including what the Qiao family had done and their future plans.

Han Yaxian's eyes widened when she heard this, and she was extremely shocked, with her thoughts churning.

Especially when she heard about the Qiao family's current predicament and the Second Prince's resourcefulness, she nervously clutched Qiao Tianjing's clothes.

Seeing that Han Yaxian was listening attentively, Qiao Tianjing knew that the time was almost right, so he revealed the last shocking secret.

"Xian'er, next... I'm going to tell you the biggest secret. This is also the reason why our Qiao family has taken so much trouble to plan and reverse the situation step by step."

When Han Yaxian heard this, she became so nervous that her breathing became shortness of breath, and she nodded solemnly.

Qiao Tianjing took a deep breath, leaned close to Han Yaxian's ear, and told her everything about Qiao Jiaojiao's peculiarity and how the whole family could hear Jiaojiao's inner thoughts.

Han Yaxian was so shocked that she let out a low cry and her whole body froze.

Qiao Tianjing knew that such a mysterious thing would be difficult for anyone to accept.

But he trusted Xian'er, and he also sought the consent of his parents for this decision.

If he wants to change the ending of the Qiao family's downfall, he can't do without the efforts of everyone in the Qiao family. Xian'er is also a victim. He must make Xian'er alert and let her learn to protect herself.

After Qiao Tianjing finished speaking, he looked at Han Yaxian anxiously, waiting for her response.

Han Yaxian was stunned for a long time, but her first response was:

"Qiao Lang, this matter...you shouldn't have told me. The fewer people who know about it, the better protection it will be for my little sister."

Han Yaxuan murmured something, but when she spoke again, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

"But, Qiao Lang, I am really grateful that you trust me so much, and I am also glad that I can marry into the Qiao family again."

"I'm not afraid of having my entire family executed or having no descendants. As long as I can be with you, my parents, my second brother and my younger sister, all the sufferings are insignificant."

"Besides, we can change our fate, right?"

As she spoke of this, hot tears rolled down Han Yaxian's cheeks.

"Qiao Lang, let's be together, let's protect our family together, and let's change the ending together."

"I think that everything depends on our efforts. This time, happiness and satisfaction will surely favor us."

When Qiao Tianjing heard this, he felt a surge of heat and bitterness in his heart.

Since he learned about the fate of the Qiao family, he has been on high alert all the time, fearing that any negligence on his part would bring ruin to the Qiao family.

He is the eldest son in the family, so it is natural for him to shoulder the main responsibility. He is not afraid of hardship or fatigue, he just wants to protect his family.

And now, he has someone who understands and supports him.

This is his wife, his good helper.

"Yes, Xian'er, let's do it together..."

Qiao Tianjing's voice trembled slightly. He buried his head in Han Yaxian's neck and felt a warmth spread throughout his limbs.

Han Yaxian's heart softened, and with red eyes she put her arms around Qiao Tianjing's shoulders.

The two hugged each other tightly.
