Although he didn’t know why Jian Yu asked for one million taels, Zhou Jinyan felt that she must have her own reasons for doing so!
So he also asked for help.
"No need."
Jian Yu refused. She figured it out. There was no need to shoulder everything on her. It was good that she could carry it on her own shoulders. If she couldn't resist, she would harm others!
And this time when she came to Qingzhou City, she also found that the An family's situation was more complicated than she thought. She thought things were too simple at first.
Anjia, who has a big family and a great business, does not just need a place to hide. Hiding is not a temporary solution. At that time, she was thinking of "escaping from the world", but the Anjia's wealth is here, and the heroine's hatred for her is not light. It will only become more hostile to An Jia.
Why can't we carve out a place to settle down in troubled times? Do you have to hide in a safe place or under someone's wings?
Jian Yu had other thoughts in her mind. One million taels was an impulsive statement before. She didn't expect Zhou Jinyan to follow her words.
At first, she thought she would hide quietly so as not to cause trouble, but now that she has become Princess Jing and has entanglements with various forces, the problem is no longer so simple.
Hearing Zhou Jinyan say that he wanted one million taels, the An family and his son looked at him, and then Jian Yu said no, so they looked at Jian Yu, and then at Prince Jing's reaction when they heard this.
The three of them, father and son, turned their heads in unison.
Not only are the movements the same, but the mood of fear is also the same. Is the tone of the granddaughter/niece too harsh? Shouldn't he first try to dissuade him softly, and then show that he doesn't need to talk softly?
There is no need to use three words to directly deny the bluntness. This... is a bit disrespectful to Prince Jing!
Facts have proved that their worries were in vain, because Prince Jing was not angry at all, and nodded seriously to Jian Yu to show that he knew that he would not ask for another million taels.
The father and son of the An family believed that no one in Dazhou would dare to impersonate Prince Jing, but looking at the man who was so good in front of Jian Yu, they couldn't help but have doubts in their hearts.
Is this Prince Jing? ! really!
He dared to confront the late Emperor before the court, but no one would listen to him in private. He went his own way, and no one could let him go west when he said he wanted to go east. When he said he wanted to fight in the north, the emperor was so angry that he stopped eating and didn't stop him...
There are many rumors about various deeds in Qingzhou City, and this is definitely not groundless.
So they really couldn't equate the man in front of them with Prince Jing.
"The An family tree attracts the wind, and now several princes are eyeing it, all trying to grab the An family's gold and silver."
What Jian Yu suddenly said frightened the An family and his son. Should she say this directly in front of Prince Jing? !
Before Jian Yu could finish speaking, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Jinyan went to open the door, and Wei Bai came over in a panic at the door, as if he had something important to report.
Zhou Jinyan nodded to Jian Yu, and then went out with Wei Bai.
Only Jian Yu and An's father and son were left in the room.
In fact, there were some things that Jian Yu didn't want to say in front of Zhou Jinyan. If he were here, she would be restrained from what she said next, but since he was gone, she just said it directly this time.
Wei Bai's expression must have something to do with Sheng Jing. The business was about the same and they couldn't stay in Qingzhou City any longer.
"The An family is in danger. The golden slaves are targeting you and you still have the ability to fight back and dodge. What if it's the three princes?"
Mr. An's face was solemn. He thought of this as the three princes grew up and became more and more powerful.
Business has become increasingly difficult to do in recent years, coupled with natural disasters and other reasons. In fact, almost all places look prosperous, but in fact they are strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Short of money! Everything is missing! It is a crime for a wealthy Anjia to possess a jade.
"Anjia needs to think of a way out for himself."
It is impossible for the An family to choose Mingzhe to protect himself and not participate in the battle for the prince to seize the throne.
If you choose one, the future is slim, which is equivalent to betting the whole family. If one doesn't choose, then you will be torn apart and divided among the three princes.
Even after choosing one of the princes, he may not be completely trusted, and he may be tempted to kill the donkey.
In the past, the An family always took chances, but Jian Yu now pointed out the contradiction. Mr. An thought that it was really time to consider these considerations.
Everyone thought that the emperor would still reign for a long time, but Jian Yu knew that if the world was in chaos, it would soon become chaotic.
"My mother has always been thinking about you, but she didn't dare to come back to look for you. She believed that there must be a reason for what happened back then. She was afraid that she would cause trouble when she came back. This time when she found out that I came to Qingzhou, my mother asked me to find a way to figure out the situation... "
"I also want to know what happened that made you make the choice you did back then, and I also want to know who it is that makes you still not dare to relax..."
Jian Yu didn't talk nonsense and got straight to the point.
She said that if they still chose to hide it, then she would have no choice but to tell the fate of Anjia.
Of course, Jian Yu will not talk about her time travel. She will only objectively talk about the fight between the three princes, how it harmed Taifu Jian, and how she took action against her parents because she wanted Anjia's wealth, etc.
Jian Yu could see clearly that the ending in the original work was not only due to the heroine's attempt to die, but also a series of interlocking strategies, of which the original protagonist was only one of the links.
Whether she does those things or not, she will become a sacrificed pawn on the road to imperial power.
Jian Yu thought that if she wanted all this and the An family still didn't take it seriously, she would have no choice but to silently leave a way out for them. At that time, she could only guarantee to protect their lives, and she would not be able to take care of anything else.
"Okay, I said."
Mr. An's attitude was very decisive, and he relented before Jian Yu could say what he planned.
Not to mention Jian Yu, even An Zhe was shocked. Over the years, he had often mentioned his sister in front of his father, openly or secretly, trying to figure out what happened back then and when he would recognize his sister back.
Every time he was either ignored or scolded. This time when he heard his niece say this, he sighed in his heart. His father was very stubborn and might not say anything.
The result is so simple?
"The so-called son of a family friend back then was just an excuse. It is impossible for me to cut off the relationship with my daughter because of those things. I am not dissatisfied with your father at all. I admire him very much, and I am even very grateful to him in my heart."
"Because without him, your mother would have entered the palace as a concubine and been buried with the late emperor after his death."
Mr. An couldn't calm down when he mentioned the past. He clutched the armrests of his chair tightly as he recounted the story.
Fortunately, Jian Yu had a father, otherwise he would have almost killed the son of a family friend! I thought that arranging my daughter's marriage would be no problem, but in the end, the man had murderous thoughts.
Fortunately, Jian Yu's father was protected by Mrs. Jian, so the man had no choice but to escape.
Entering the palace as a concubine? ! Judging from the time, my mother entered the palace as the late emperor's concubine?
Why? At that time, although the An family was wealthy, they had not yet become imperial merchants, and the Gu family was equally wealthy.
The Gu family had unworthy descendants and lost all their property, so the An family became the richest man in the Zhou Dynasty.
The mother's appearance is true, but she is not very outstanding in a harem with three thousand beauties, and the concubine in the harem must be a woman from the family with an official rank of fifth rank or above.
Could it be that the late emperor fell in love with his mother at first sight when he met his mother in disguise?
"Is it the late emperor?"
Jian Yu's question just arose, and Mr. An shook his head: "This matter has nothing to do with the late emperor."
So what's going on? Jian Yu was a little confused.
