C39 The Matter of the Treasury (1/2)

When Su Zixuan returned to her own courtyard, she called for Ji Tong.

Even though she was excited at the time, she still remembered a lot of things. Her father had always been a clean person, and he and her mother had been married for many years without ever having a concubine. The two of them loved each other dearly.

However, the next time Jiang Nan brought back the Lu family, she did not remember anything. However, when her brother met with an accident and her mother died of depression, coupled with the poison incident today, she definitely had reason to suspect the Lu family.

Thinking of the prescriptions in Su Xue Ming's hands, she was a little apprehensive. If it really was the Lu family, then what happened that year?

When Ji Tong walked in, he saw that Su Zixuan's face was ashen and her heart trembled. She was a little surprised when she finished listening to his instructions, but deep down, she didn't show it on her face.

Ji Tong came in a hurry, and walked out in a hurry. This time, he needed to make a trip to Jiangnan himself.

Su Zixuan watched as Ji Tong's back quickly disappeared into the distance, and anger filled her heart.

Although the Lu Family was also down and out, they were, after all, an Aromatic Family. Other than the people Su Xueming now needed to check, they also needed to check the Lu Family's old address.

Although the Lu family was already dead, Su Xueming was still alive. If anything were to be discovered, she would definitely properly calculate the grudge between them.

At the end of the year, Su Zixuan was buried in piles of account books almost every day, and there were even some letters of greetings from the village, which were so heavy that she couldn't even eat properly every day.

Tao Muyun still quarrelled with Su Zhe Yuan every day and would occasionally go out for a stroll. It was the same with Father Su. In the large and small trading companies, there were still some families that were busy every day, so it was only a matter of time before he would see them again.

At the moment, the war in the north was tense, and there was no dispute over food and fodder among the imperial court more than once. Although the emperor had the intention to dominate the empire, he could not fight as he wished.

Last year's disaster had cost the country a large amount of silver to provide relief, but they had not recovered from it yet. Now, it was impossible to raise up an army of fodder.

This was also one of the problems that the Emperor did not express clearly. He had to make the two children restrain each other in order to keep the imperial court in a balance. In the end, he would have to win before he had the right to speak.

However, the border has been provoked so many times recently that even the Crown Prince's fighting spirit had been aroused.

But once they did, it wouldn't be that easy to fight.

The emperor had been angry with the Ministry of Revenue for this matter many times. The Ministry of Revenue was in a miserable state, but the silver borrowed by the nobles could not be repaid. They also had to pay for everything.
