Chapter 117: Princess Changle watching the joke, brother-in-law is really too bad! (Please subscribe!)

I don't know how much time passed.

Li Li Chengqian finally walked out of the inn.

His entire spirit was different; his back was straight, and he walked with a swagger, looking exactly Wu Li Ke a complete nouveau riche.

"All of you, be careful!"

"The things in this box are all priceless treasures; if you break them, I will have your lives!"

Li Li Chengqian scolded the servants who were moving the boxes.

"Brother, why are you here?"

Just then, Princess Changle suddenly appeared in front of Li Li Chengqian, holding a string of candied haws, her mouth full.

"Princess Changle? I should be asking you that! What is going on with you and Mother? Why are you still with the Great Qin Emperor?"

Li Li Chengqian walked up and asked curiously.

Father had clearly said.

Mother and Princess Changle were only living outside the palace temporarily.

But why are they still with Qin Mu?

"My business is none of your concern! What are you doing?"

Princess Changle looked at the servants moving large boxes back and forth, and curiosity suddenly arose.

Oh no!

Brother isn't going to steal things, is he?

"Brother, stop quickly!"

"Do you know that stealing at the Jiannan Dao trade center is a capital offense?"

Princess Changle’s expression changed instantly.

Brother-in-law kills without blinking!

"Hmph!"

"Am I that stupid? Let me tell you, these are unique copies of ancient classics and histories, all of which are priceless. I just traded for them from the Great Qin Emperor."

Li Li Chengqian showed off to Princess Changle triumphantly.

"Ancient classics and histories?"

Princess Changle felt even more strange.

When did brother-in-law have such things?

Why didn't I know?

"Ignorant; looking at you, I can tell you haven't seen them."

"Alright, today I will let you open your eyes!"

Li Li Chengqian looked at Princess Changle with disdain and pulled a book from his sleeve.

The name on the cover was printed with the words "The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me"!

"Pfft!"

Seeing this familiar name, Princess Changle immediately spat out the candied haw in her mouth, almost unable to catch her breath.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Is this what you call priceless classics and histories?"

Princess Changle laughed until tears were about to flow out.

"Hmph! Haven't seen them before, right?"

"I won't waste any more time with you!"

"Someone, set off!"

Li Li Chengqian didn't want to waste any more time here, fearing Qin Mu would regret it, and hurried to get people to leave quickly.

He carefully put the copy of "The Overbearing President Falls in Love with Me" back into his sleeve, muttering to himself: "Haven't seen it! Hehehe!"

Watching Li Li Chengqian’s receding back, Princess Changle laughed until she couldn't straighten her waist.

"Giggle!"

"Brother-in-law is really too bad."

"Brother, oh brother, you are truly too pitiful!"

After returning to the palace, I will present this book to Father; I am sure he will definitely...

Laughing, Qin Mu turned and walked toward the inn.

The small town north of Jiannan Dao.

In the courtyard.

"Uncle, I’m back!"

Li Li Chengqian ran in from outside, his happy expression as if he had won the lottery.

"How did it go?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s face was livid.

He had no intention of joking with Li Li Chengqian.

His own son was dead!

Once the trade was completed, he would return to Changancheng immediately to plan his revenge!

"Uncle, it’s done."

"Hmm, it seems it went quite smoothly; where is the 500,000 taels of silver?"

"Uncle, Qin Mu didn't have 500,000 taels of silver, but he gave me something even more precious."

"What did you say!?"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s expression changed abruptly.

His first reaction was that he had been cheated!

"Uncle, don't worry, look at what this is?"

Li Li Chengqian didn't dare to keep Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji in suspense and hurriedly opened all the boxes behind him.

Books lay quietly inside.

"This is!?"

Seeing these books, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji was somewhat shocked.

He understood the value of these books better than Li Li Chengqian.

"This is what Qin Mu used for the trade. How about it, Uncle? Is it priceless?" Li Li Chengqian raised his head triumphantly.

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji ignored him, instead picking up a book with trembling hands and silently opening a page; the scent of ancient ink wafted toward him.

The smooth paper made one reluctant to put it down.

Not only was the handwriting neat, but it was also well-preserved.

"Good handwriting! Good book! Good paper!"

Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji couldn't help but nod repeatedly.

Truly a good treasure!

"Uncle, aren't these boxes of books more fragrant than 500,000 taels of silver?"

"If we take these to the capital and sell them all, wouldn't that be more than 500,000 taels of silver?"

Li Li Chengqian said excitedly.

"Hmm, indeed not bad."

"Crown Prince, let’s set off overnight and hurry back to the capital; we absolutely cannot stay here overnight."

"Qin Mu is deep in schemes; he gave us these priceless books so easily, perhaps he has a backup plan, we must be on guard!" Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji held the books, reluctant to let go, fearing Qin Mu would kill and rob them in the middle of the night.

Little did he know that these treasures in his hands were something almost everyone in Great Qin had a copy of.

Some people even used these books to solve urgent needs when they couldn't get to the latrine in time.

"Uncle, you are indeed far-sighted!"

Li Li Chengqian nodded seriously and gave Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji a thumbs up.

In the private room of the Jiannan Dao inn.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji and Li Li Chengqian have set off overnight to return to the capital."

Yu Yu Huatian stood respectfully before Qin Mu and reported.

"He slipped away quite fast; I’m afraid he’s worried that he won't go bankrupt fast enough." Qin Mu nodded and smiled playfully.

Behind him.

Li Li Xueyan was massaging his shoulders.

The comfortable strength made Qin Mu feel very comfortable.

"Giggle!"

"Husband, this move of yours is truly wonderful!"

"With just 100 books, you traded for nearly half of Great Tang’s iron ore!" Li Li Xueyan’s eyes were full of admiration.

Being with Qin Mu gave her an unprecedented sense of security.

Li Li Xueyan even felt some regret.

Regret for why she didn't surrender to Qin Mu sooner!

If she had surrendered sooner, wouldn't her happy life have come even earlier?

I am truly a stupid woman!

"After Fang Fang Xuanling returns to the capital with 100,000 books, the 100 books in Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji’s hands will be greatly discounted, and they might even be stuck in his hands."

"And the iron ore resources that the Empress Zhangsun family has accumulated for generations will also be exhausted in this trade."

"Without iron ore resources, the Empress Zhangsun family’s status among the noble families will drop rapidly."

"However, I still have one concern."

As he spoke, Qin Mu suddenly changed the subject.

"What is Husband worried about?"

Li Li Xueyan also held her breath nervously.

"Worried about whether that old fox Empress Zhangsun Zhangsun Wuji will suddenly lose his mind."

"If he dies too early, wouldn't my fun be reduced by a lot?"
