Chapter 291

"What is the origin of the owner of Ruyi Building? Know you and Qing'er?" Lin Xiaoyue quickly brought the topic back to the previous question.

If you really know someone, it's really a hassle.

In particular, if it is an enemy, the consequences are even more unimaginable.

After all, these two of her family have a grudge against the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom...

At this time, she really regretted going to Ruyi Lou to sell her spicy cabbage.

Just relying on her two snack shops and Li Xiao's income at the dock, their family's food and clothing is not a problem.

But this time, if it is not done well, people will discover the whereabouts of Li Xiao and Qing'er, and then there will be endless troubles.

"The Ruyi Building is the eldest prince's concubine's family, and the property of the Liang family."

"This time, you proposed to talk to the owner of Ruyi Building, and the person who came is most likely Liang Yu. Because Liang Yu became the head of the Liang family four years ago."

"Liang Yu?" Lin Xiaoyue looked at Li Xiao.

"Well. The first prince's companion when he was young is also the first prince's confidant." Li Xiao said.

"This person is extraordinary. He followed the eldest prince to Taixue back then, and his knowledge attracted the attention of all the academic officials in Taixue, thinking that he had the talent of the champion."

"Unfortunately, this person has no intention of taking the imperial examinations. After a few years of studying with the eldest prince, he returned to the Liang family to inherit the family business."

"At that time, countless people in Beijing sighed and felt that Liangcai was buried. Some people said that Liang Yu was short-sighted and difficult to become a climate."

Li Xiao smiled, "Up to now, after a few years, under Liang Yu's deliberate low-key, almost all the families in Beijing have almost forgotten about this amazing young master Liang. It's not worth his painstaking dormancy... …”

Lin Xiaoyue felt a little more relaxed when she saw Li Xiao's eyes showing appreciation.

"So, this Liang Yu deliberately didn't take the imperial examination?" asked Li Xiao with a smile.

"Um."

Li Xiao smiled and nodded Lin Xiaoyue's nose.

He sighed and said, "Emperor Yan is very suspicious. Since the first prince was deposed for treason, he has not established a prince."

"Today, Emperor Yan still has fourteen princes, and there are five princes who are eighteen years old. Among them, the eldest prince is the oldest, and his mother-in-law is also ranked as a noble concubine, and his status is the most valuable."

"Whether it's from birth or age, the eldest prince is the best choice for the crown prince."

"Unfortunately..." Li Xiao smiled, his expression somewhat ironic.

"Unfortunately, the imperial concubine's mother's family is powerful. Emperor Yan is worried that he will make the first prince the crown prince, and the first prince will be the same as the previous second prince, against him!"

"That's why the noble concubine appointed a merchant girl for the eldest prince to be the prince's concubine."

"This noble concubine has a lot of ideas." Lin Xiaoyue answered.

"Why?" Li Xiao was amused by Lin Xiaoyue's expression, and thought of discussing with his daughter-in-law.

"Being married to a businessman looks good on the face, even though he is not married to a powerful person in the court. In fact, it is not the case."

"Emperor Yan is suspicious of the eldest prince. If he really arranges a concubine with a strong background for the eldest prince, it will only arouse even more suspicion of Emperor Yan."

"On the contrary, finding a businesswoman can not only alleviate Emperor Yan's suspicion, but also the businessman has money, and if he uses it well, he may play a bigger role than the powerful."

As in any era, money plays a role beyond imagination.

What's more, this era has not yet divided strata for scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. The status of businessmen is actually not low.

Li Xiao nodded.

"Liang Yu just discovered this, or was reminded, that she restrained her light and returned to the Liang family."

"In the past few years, I have been doing business with peace of mind and rarely interacted with the First Prince's Mansion."

"The Liang family started out as a restaurant business. Apart from Ruyi Building, there are many other restaurants and restaurants. In four years, since Liang Yu took over the Liang family, the situation of the Liang family has been very good. , but its strength seems to be the fifth largest commercial firm in the Yan Kingdom."

"Furthermore, there are rumors in Beijing that the Liang family has been involved in other businesses besides the restaurant accident." Li Xiao continued.

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

"That's really a talent!" replied.

Then, remembering something, he turned around and looked at Li Xiao.

"Isn't it right? The noble concubine doesn't want the eldest prince to arouse the suspicion of Emperor Yan? Why let the Liang family grow?"

Facing Lin Xiaoyue from the front, Li Xiao breathed rapidly for a moment.

"Because the third prince also married one of the four major commercial firms, the daughter of the Wang family is the concubine. There is also the fifth prince, his concubine is surnamed Li." Li Xiao said as calmly as possible, suppressing the restlessness in his heart.

Four major firms, Wang, Li, Zhou, Chen. There are already two, which are related to the royal family.

With such two princes present, the Liang family that the concubine found for the eldest prince is nothing.

Lin Xiaoyue smiled, pretending she didn't understand Li Xiao's embarrassment.

Continue to talk to Li Xiao about business affairs.

"In this way, this Liang Yu should also thank the third prince and the fifth prince. After all, without them, his pearl would only be dusted."

Li Xiao felt that Lin Xiaoyue's metaphor was very vivid, and laughed.

But seeing Lin Xiaoyue's brows suddenly wrinkled.

"Since Liang Yu was the prince's companion, he might recognize you both."

Even though we haven't seen each other for several years, Li Xiao's appearance is too distinctive.

Especially the scar on his face, it is hard not to associate it when someone sees it.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue's small hand couldn't help reaching Li Xiao's eyes.

Li Xiao closed his eyes subconsciously, and then Lin Xiaoyue's hand fell on his eyelids.

He subconsciously wanted to dodge, but held back.

Then, relax.

It was because of this scar that he became the "Shen God" that everyone in Beijing feared. He was really afraid that his daughter-in-law would be like those people and despise him because of this scar.

But just for a moment, he controlled his mind.

If the daughter-in-law dislikes him, she will not buy him, or even marry him.

Li Xiao, who was relaxed, felt the warm hand of his daughter-in-law caressing his eyelids.

Warm, as if with some pity.

The tenderness made his heart itch a little.

Finally, Li Xiao opened his eyes.

Looking into his eyes, he saw a woman with a distressed face under the moonlight.

"At that time, it was very painful, right?" Lin Xiaoyue asked with a worried face.

Before, she only thought Li Xiao's scar was cool, but now that she thinks about it, that knife is really dangerous.

If it was a little deeper, his eye would definitely not be able to be preserved.

Li Xiao's heart was hot, "It doesn't hurt." Looking at Lin Xiaoyue, he said.

He almost forgot the pain at that time, but after the wound scabbed over, the scar brought him more psychological discomfort.

"Unfortunately, I can't take you for laser surgery, otherwise it will improve somewhat." Lin Xiaoyue said.

Such deep scars are difficult to completely remove even with surgery.

There is a scar medicine in her space ring. It is unrealistic to use it for a long time to completely remove the scar, but it is possible to make the scar lighter.

It's just that the drug is slow to take effect, and I'm afraid it's too late to use it now.

but……

Forget it, it's better than not having it...

Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand from her pocket and took out a box of scar removal cream.

"This has the effect of lightening scars. If you insist on applying it every day, it may be effective in a few months." Lin Xiaoyue said, and gave Li Xiao the scar cream.

Li Xiao was stunned.

She looked at Lin Xiaoyue's pocket.

He had already discovered that his daughter-in-law's pocket was like a treasure chest.

He looked shriveled, as if there was nothing inside. But his daughter-in-law can always pull out a lot of things from it.

Lin Xiaoyue's face changed slightly.

"Hey, take it!" Then he interrupted Li Xiao's vision and stuffed the scar removal cream into his hand.

"Let this scar fade as soon as possible, and it will not be so easy to be recognized in the future."

"Yeah." Li Xiao replied, but after all, she didn't ask Lin Xiaoyue about her pockets.

"What is laser surgery?" But it was Lin Xiaoyue who asked.

Lin Xiaoyue was taken aback.

"Laser surgery...well, it is a high-tech device used by doctors in our world before, which can treat and improve scars."

Li Xiao's eyes changed.

Lin Xiaoyue pouted.

Looking at the man who clearly wanted to ask, but forcibly held back the appearance of not asking, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes.

Then he finally sighed.

"Well, after hearing your secret, I hid it. It doesn't seem fair to you."

Then, Lin Xiaoyue stretched out her hand and wrapped it around Li Xiao's neck, her beautiful eyes looking straight at Li Xiao.

"I can tell you secrets, but you can't be afraid of me, and you can't tell others my secrets."

Li Xiao's eyes moved slightly.

Adam's apple rolled.

"Okay." Then, he said in a low voice.

At this moment, the emotion in my heart even surpassed the curiosity.
