Rebirth of the second ex-husband

Chapter 263 Deeper Planning
The empress dowager was calm and calm, and she still didn't show much reaction on the face. This result was already expected by her. After she was grounded, the emperor would of course touch her people.

The Empress Dowager didn't move her eyebrows and said indifferently: "The emperor demoted your father's official position. This crime is right, but it is the responsibility of killing your father Liu Shangshu."

Not only that, but the Empress Dowager also knew that Liu Zhengfeng took the lead in writing the IOUs and hadn't paid off the debt so far. She started this in the palace, and other officials followed suit. Even in the past, she didn't quite agree with this.

Liu Yan just heard the queen mother ask the reason and thought there was some drama, but she didn't want the queen mother to speak for the emperor, she was flustered and didn't know what to say, so she just kowtowed and said: "I beg the queen mother to take care of the empress dowager in the Liu family for many years. Come on, help my father and daughter."

The queen mother sneered and frowned: "The Ai family also wants to help you with this matter, but this is not something that the Ai family can help if they want to."

Liu Yan looked up, even more puzzled. In her eyes, even if the queen mother was grounded, it didn't mean that the queen mother couldn't send people to act. The power of the queen mother's party should not be underestimated.

She was uneasy. Could it be that the queen mother doesn't want to help the Liu family?Her face darkened.

The Empress Dowager's voice was calm but she was very firm: "This matter started when the treasury was empty, and it must end when the treasury is full."

Liu Yan frowned, filling the treasury is not a small sum.

"Where did the Ai family get the money to fill up the national treasury?" The queen mother said here, and after another pause, she continued, "If you say that people with this ability in Liuli country today, they must be rich and incomparable."

The Empress Dowager said there was something in her words, and when it came to this point, no matter how stupid Liu Yan was, she would understand that the richest person in Liuli Kingdom today is her husband's Xiao family!
Liu Yan bit her lip, and couldn't help feeling distressed about the family property. She still made a choice, kowtowed her head, and said sincerely: "I also ask the Queen Mother for advice!"

A gleam flashed in the Queen Mother's eyes, and she spoke slowly and patiently: "Old Master Xiao of the Xiao family is the president of the chamber of commerce, and he has the taxation rights of the chamber of commerce in his hands. The emperor is short of money. If the business is not good this year, , the tax revenue has been reduced by half, so the Ai family will have someone to ask the emperor to rely on..."

Liu Yan's heart sank, and she finally understood what the Queen Mother meant. Liu Yan hesitated to speak, but said: "But...the minister's daughter is just an ordinary wife, how can she talk to her husband?"

The Empress Dowager couldn't help feeling bored, this woman is really stupid, can't she use her own brain?She suddenly felt that each of these women was comparable to her youngest daughter, Jin'er, but her Jin'er didn't like these power struggles.

But this is also good, to save Xiaojin from being in a dilemma, and to save himself from losing his daughter's heart.

She suddenly thought that it would be great if her third son, King Jin, would be devoted to her, but King Jin is also too assertive, such a person is not suitable for control!

Now the empress dowager has few chess pieces that can be moved on the bright side. The empress dowager suppressed the boredom in her eyes and said patiently: "You can't say it, but of course someone can say it. Doesn't your grandfather have something to do with Mr. Xiao..."

One sentence awakened Liu Yan, and Liu Yan said gratefully: "Your servant understands, thank you, Empress Dowager!"

The queen mother ignored her and continued to read scriptures with her head bowed.

The sound of the scriptures seemed to be in the same tone, without any ups and downs, making everyone who heard it feel as if they were calm.But no one knows what is hidden behind this peaceful scripture sound.

After Liu Yan left the palace gate, she didn't go back to Xiao's house directly, but went back to her own house first.

Liu Yan's father and grandfather were both in Liu's mansion, and he was a little surprised to see Liu Yan. This daughter is not the one who comes home often, and she didn't notify the family before returning home, which is even rarer.

Liu Yan has a good face, and her outfits are usually glamorous when she comes and goes. They couldn't help asking about her situation.

Liu Yan smiled and said in a soft voice that she went to see the Queen Mother today because of her father's demotion. The Queen Mother had already told her that she was here to ask her grandfather to help her father. These words made both of them very upset Excited.

Liu Yan and them had an intimate conversation in the room, and the passage of time could not be felt at all. It was not until the evening that Liu Yan finished discussing with them, and then reluctantly returned to Xiao's house.

When Liu Yan returned to Xiao's residence, her brows looked a little tired, but she pulled herself together, and the first thing she did was to ask her maid Qing Ning to inquire about Xiao Nianyou's whereabouts, and she waited patiently for the news.

After a while, the servant girl came back and reported, "Return to Madam, the young master is in the study."

When Liu Yan heard that Xiao Nianyou was not with Ye Xinwei, there was a trace of smile on her face, she was very relieved.

Ye Xinwei is now taking advantage of Ye Caiyi's relationship with Concubine Ye to demonstrate secretly in front of her, and she has become more and more successful in the circle of noble ladies.

Thinking of this, Liu Yan felt very upset. She didn't like to be attached to the queen mother, but she found that if she didn't attach to the queen mother, because she married a businessman, even though she was the richest man, she was still the same as Ye Xinwei in the circle of ladies. , was underestimated.

If those women hadn't seen her getting closer to the queen mother, they wouldn't have taken the initiative to make friends with her. "Scholar, farmer, businessman" was too deep in their hearts. Even though they envied the Xiao family's financial resources, they still put on that disgusting high-profile , demonstrating that his status is much higher than hers.

Liu Yan sighed, marrying Xiao Nianyou was entirely the queen mother's intention, after marrying, she saw Xiao Nianyou's handsome appearance, and then she fell in love with her.

Unexpectedly, she was favored in the first place, Lin Fei didn't say a word, and openly offered Xiao Nianyou a concubine, but a woman came in one by one.

It was only then that her temper began to restrain herself, and Xiao Nianyou would not even look back at her if she was as willful as before.

She gave a wry smile, he never lacked women around him, and they were beautiful or talented women, how could he have been patient and spent all his time trying to coax her to cling to her.

She would like to thank Lin Fei, if it wasn't for Lin Fei, she would not have believed that she could have made such a big change, and now the group of women in the back wall thought she was generous and kind.

The corners of her lips were raised high, revealing a sneer, and a trace of sternness appeared in her eyes. If they knew why none of them could conceive for so many years, they would never treat her like this again.

She, Liu Yan, had once made a cruel heart. Before she got pregnant, these women must not get pregnant and walk ahead of her.

If Xiao Nianyou knew that Liu Yan had done such a thing like him, he didn't know how he would feel.

Liu Yan looked at the orange light from the glazed lampshade, thinking that she hadn't seen Xiao Nianyou for a long time, and he must be very tired from reading books and books.

Liu Yan frowned, thought for a while, then relaxed her brows, and said to Qing Ning beside her, "Make a bowl of carrot soup and come with me to the study."

"Yes, ma'am!" Qing Ning replied, just now she was taken aback by the cruel look on Liu Yan's face, she is a slave and has no right to ask, some things are safer for herself if she doesn't know.

The sky was not yet dark, a red lantern walked in the garden, and finally stopped in front of Xiao Nianyou's study door.Liu Yan knocked lightly on the door a few times and stood outside.

Xiao Nianyou was looking at the ledger, when he heard a knock on the door, he thought that the person who came here and had to be released by Liang Xia, besides Liu Yan, was Ye Xinwei, so he said, "Come in."

Liu Yan walked in with a graceful figure, looked at Xiao Nianyou with a smile on her face, and said with a light parting of her lips: "Mr.—"

As soon as Xiao Nianyou heard the voice, he knew it was Liu Yan. He raised his head and saw that Liu Yan was wearing a long red dress that tightly bound her body. There was a purple enchanting flower embroidered on the chest. It is a water-stained red, which seems to be faintly shining. The sleeves are long and wide, covered with big red peonies.

This is a very attractive dress, Xiao Nianyou just glanced at it, raised his brows slightly, continued to look down at the account book, and said: "What's the matter?"

Liu Yan immediately walked over with the food box, opened the food box and said: "Sister, Yan'er heard that Mr. Wang has worked very hard today. She was afraid that Mr. Wang would damage his eyes when he turned on the light, so he made carrot soup."

As Liu Yan spoke, she brought the carrot soup in front of Xiao Nianyou, the tip of her nose was filled with the aroma of the soup.

Xiao Nianyou gave an "En" to show that he understood, and continued to look at the account book.

Logically, the soup was delivered, Xiao Nianyou still had something to do, Liu Yan should go back on his own, but this Liu Yan didn't bother him, just stood still and didn't leave.

Seeing that Liu Yan had no intention of leaving, Xiao Nianyou continued to ask: "Why, is there anything else?"

Liu Yan's face seemed to be a little rosy, and she walked two steps forward with a small snake step and said: "My husband..." The voice was sweet and greasy, and there were several twists and turns, Xiao Nianyou had goose bumps all over his body when he heard it.

Xiao Nianyou coughed twice, and said seriously: "What's wrong?"

Liu Yan's voice was soft: "Sister, Yan'er has prepared another table of good food and wine. If you are tired from reading, let's go to Yan'er's for a midnight snack."

Liu Yan pushed forward, thinking that Xiao Nianyou would go to her yard, although she had no one to prepare meals, but when Xiao Nianyou finished the work in hand, she would have already made preparations, so she lied.

"I may have to see it very late, Yan'er should not wait for me." Xiao Nianyou politely refused.

"It doesn't matter, Yan'er knows that my husband is busy, it doesn't matter how late it is, besides, Yan'er hasn't seen him for a long time, there are some things I want to talk to him about." Liu Yan was not discouraged, and didn't wait until she vowed not to give up.

After hearing this, Xiao Nianyou sighed silently, fearing that she might not be able to dismiss her if he didn't agree, he replied: "Okay."

After hearing this, Liu Yan felt relieved for a while, and happily withdrew.

When Liu Yan returned to the house, she was not busy preparing the food and drink, but went to the dressing table first to arrange her makeup, and then ordered the maid to set up a table of food and wine.

The maids here are busy preparing the food and drinks, and Liu Yan is just getting dressed here, and she lazily stands up, only to see that her attire is different from before.

It was still a tight-fitting inner skirt, highlighting the uneven figure, but the wide sleeves were gone, replaced by a layer of tulle covering the inner skirt hazily, revealing the shyness inside.
