Qiao Xin, a single woman, revealed her family secrets.
"No money! To be honest, the Qiao family has less than 100 taels of silver in cash. I took away 50 taels for the second brother to use in an emergency. The family only has 20 taels of silver at most!"
King Qi asked, "Didn't Angel Cao bring you three thousand taels?"
"Oh, my prince, the family needs money in many places now. Laohu Town used to be a deserted village. If you want to live and work in peace and contentment, the initial investment is a bottomless pit.
Now that we have to follow the imperial order to raise pigs, we have to build a pigpen. It would be most appropriate to build the pigpen on the top of the mountain. We also have to build a road to the town. This is our own business and we can't let others pay for it.
I also want to build a school for the villagers and repair the canal. All the stones were bought on credit before, but now that I have money, I have to pay them back. The several thousand taels are gone, how can the Qiao family afford to hire people?"

Was the Qiao family really of high moral character and not seeking personal gain, or was it something bigger?
Emperor Wu's mind was in turmoil, but he didn't say anything else.
Seeing that the Qionglin Banquet was about to begin, Eunuch Cao stepped forward to remind Emperor Wu that it was time to return to the palace!
"Qiao Anren, please stay here for now!"
King Qi took a step behind and turned to Qiao Xin and said, "This is my place, so just stay here and let me know if you have any requests."
"That's fine, Your Majesty, just do the best you can and report to Yun Qing that we are safe, so that he won't worry!"
The King of Qi laughed in anger. This old lady was so rude that she came to him to run errands! Forget it, since she is defending herself, ask for her!
