The whole family is in limbo? He went crazy after listening to Zai's voice

Chapter 52 Chu Yao becomes more and more skilled in acting
"It's just a merchant, but he's so ungrateful!"

"Wait for me!"

Chu Yao looked over and saw that the person coming was the only son of the Xiao family, Xiao Yunkai, his uncle.

Today's Mrs. Xiao was pregnant before her grandmother died of illness, and her mother-in-law has been disgusted with her for a long time.

If it wasn't for my grandfather's sake, he wouldn't have been allowed to call him 'uncle' at all.

As soon as he saw him, Xiao Wentao stared and cursed angrily, "You traitor! Whose father are you! Where have you been fooling around again?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuankai shrugged, "Don't worry, I didn't go drink flower wine."

Turning his gaze, his eyes lit up when he saw Chu Yao standing aside. He stepped forward and put his elbow on Chu Yao's shoulder, winking at him.

"Uncle has a small matter and wants to ask my nephew for help."

Chu Yao took a step to the side and avoided his hand, "What's the matter?"

"Recently, a shop opened in the east of the city, specializing in glass products. A pair of glass earrings the size of a fingernail costs one hundred taels of silver!"

He looked at the two of them and said, "The ladies and ladies in the capital are actually rushing to buy it!"

Speaking of this, Xiao Yuankai breathed rapidly and his eyes turned red with jealousy.

He touched his chin, looking thoughtful, "The quality looks better than Nanyang colored glaze."

As he spoke, he clapped his hands suddenly, "I'm sure this shop has mastered the method of making colored glaze, or there are other ways to purchase large quantities of it."

A glimmer of light flashed in Xiao Wentao's eyes. If it was true as Yuan Kai said, this shop would make a lot of money.

Suddenly, Xiao Yuankai's voice became much louder.

"The shopkeeper also opened a soap shop. That thing called soap is much better than soap locust for bathing and cleaning hands."

Hearing this, Chu Yao lowered his eyes and thought. His second brother seemed to be busy with these things recently.

"I gave the shopkeeper 10,000 taels of silver and asked him to transfer two shops to me, but he dared not agree!"

Ten thousand taels?

Chu Yao sneered in his heart.

What's the difference between this and Mingqiang!
Judging from his natural look, this must not be the first time he has done this!
Chu Yao then thought about it. This was also a direction for investigation. He would report it to his father when he returned to the palace. He must keep an eye on him!
"Little nephew, we are all a family. Do you think you can think of a way?"

What can you think of? Are you helping you bully others?

After listening to what he said, Xiao Wentao also thought of taking the shop as his own. Such a business that makes a lot of money every day should belong to the Xiao family.

But remembering what was said in the letter, he glanced at Chu Yao without any trace.

Ruer said in the letter that if the third prince did not open the envelope, he could tell him the subsequent plan.

But he was still worried, so he took advantage of this incident to test whether the third prince's heart was really towards the Xiao family.

Under the gaze of father and son, Chu Yao lightly uttered two words:
"No."

Father said it was over, 20% of the shop’s profit belongs to Yaoyao, do you want to rob it?

dream!

"Okay!" Xiao Yuankai was unhappy after hearing his answer.

"Over the years, you mother and son have been enjoying a smooth life in the harem, and you have received a lot of help from the Xiao family. Now, for such a trivial matter, you are starting to push back and forth, right?"

Although Xiao Wentao didn't react as strongly as he did, there was still a hint of displeasure in his eyes.

"Grandpa, does he know who owns that shop?"

As he spoke, Chu Yao lowered his head at the right time, looking quite disappointed, "That belongs to the second brother."

"what?!"

The Xiao family father and son looked at each other in surprise.

Second prince?
That cripple?

Unexpectedly, Chu Yao's next words shocked them even more.

"But in fact, my father asked my second brother to handle this matter."

The pupils of the Xiao family's father and son were shocked, so the boss behind the scenes is actually the emperor?
Chu Yao sat back in despair. "My father has high hopes for the eldest brother, the crown prince. Now, my second brother, who has always been a secretive person, has won the favor of my father. I am the only one..."

Then, he looked guilty and said, "It's really not that I don't want to help my uncle. In this situation, I can't make my father unhappy anymore..."

Seeing him so disappointed, Xiao Wentao could only give up no matter how unwilling he was.

"It doesn't matter. With my grandfather and your mother and concubine, who can say for sure what will happen in the future?"

Hearing this, Xiao Yuankai gritted his teeth in anger. There was a mountain of gold and silver in front of him, but it had nothing to do with him!

Xiao Wentao's thoughts were more complicated. What did the emperor mean by this move?

Could it be that he sensed something and deliberately suppressed the third prince?

After asking the housekeeper to send Chu Yao away, Xiao Wentao pointed at the idle Xiao Yuankai.

"Don't run out much these days, think about all the stupid things you did in the past, and see if your tail has been swept clean!"

Xiao Yuankai stretched lazily, "Don't worry, and even if the sky falls, you will still be there to support me."

Seeing his unattractive appearance, Xiao Wentao felt his head throbbing in pain.

Why isn't Ru'er a man?
……

Lingzhou, Fukelai Inn
In a room on the third floor, a man who looked like a guard in black lowered his head respectfully and said angrily:
"Master, the King of Canaan has gone too far. He is unwilling to exert any effort and does not want to take any risks. If he is so timid, he may not be able to accomplish anything big. It is really a waste of your planning."

There is a man sitting at the table, wearing a black brocade robe with dark patterns of auspicious clouds.

Hearing this, he raised his sword eyebrows slightly, and the tear moles at the corners of his eyes moved slightly with his eyebrows.

He chuckled, "It doesn't matter, the more cowardly and incompetent he is, the better it is for us."

"Master plans to join forces with the King of Canaan? Then Xiao Wentao..."

"Mo Zhou!"

Mo Zhou quickly lowered his head and knelt on one knee, "My subordinate made a mistake. Please forgive me, Your Highness."

The man said meaningfully: "Who said we can only choose one?"

"Whether it is the Xiao family or the King of Canaan, no matter who wants that position, they will have to go through a lot of twists and turns. No matter what the result is, Daqi will definitely be severely damaged."

The man's eyes grew colder, "At that time, wouldn't it be better for us in Huashan to just reap the benefits?"

Mo Zhou cupped his hands and clasped his fists, "Your Highness is wise!"

If Chu Yaoyao were here, he would definitely recognize that this person is Shangguan Zhi, the fifth prince of Xiyue Kingdom.

He is also the male protagonist in the book!
Shangguan Zhi knocked on the empty teacup. Seeing this, Mo Zhou quickly picked up the teapot, not expecting that the teapot was also empty.

"Master, wait a moment."

After the door was carefully closed, Shangguan Zhi stood up and walked to the window.

Looking at the bustling streets outside, he murmured softly, "The Imperial Master said that man is in Daqi Capital City, why don't I go and check it out first?"

The door was suddenly opened, and Mo Zhou walked in in a hurry.

"Why are you so panicked?"

Mo Zhou approached him and whispered to him.

Shangguan Zhi's expression became serious, "Can you see clearly?"

"My subordinates will definitely not mistake it. The leader is none other than Zhao Jingwu. There is also a tightly sealed carriage in the team."

Shangguan Zhi's eyes flashed, "The shopkeeper said that the Li family led troops through the city yesterday and escorted a prison van."

Then, he looked out the window and chuckled, "That will be interesting."

"How many are there?"

"Less than twenty people."

"I was in a bit of a hurry today." Shangguan Zhi's eyes became dark, faintly revealing murderous intent, and his tone was extremely cold.

"Then let them stay at the next stop!"
