When I just got divorced, I was overheard

Chapter 492 The Zheng family’s generosity
The boxes were put on the ship one by one, and two girls came with them. One of them was with Zheng Jingren, and the other was alone.

After all, he was the head of the Zheng family, so Li Xiuzhu definitely wanted to meet him.

And there is another person he has an appointment with today.

That's right, it's another girl. This girl is the only daughter of the Su family. Li Xiuzhu asked Li Canghai to invite her.

Of course, Li Canghai doesn't have to go in person, the maid can just make a trip.

When Su Ling'er saw Li Xiuzhu, he saluted, said hello and went in. It seemed as if he came specifically to see Li Canghai.

The two of them are best friends, so it doesn't seem out of the ordinary.

Li Xiuzhu looked at the head of the Zheng family, and then looked at the pretty girl beside him for a moment. This beauty was second only to Li Canghai.

Of course, he was stunned not because he was shocked by the woman's appearance, but because he guessed why the head of the Zheng family brought the woman on the boat.

"Master Zheng, what is this???"

"Go back to your lord, this is my brother's daughter."

"His family has many children and they can no longer raise them. I hope the prince will take them in."

...You think I'm a fool, don't you? I'm a member of the three great clans. How can my brother's family not be able to raise a child?If you miss something casually, your brain will be full of fat.

But this girl looks like she doesn't have much meat. Maybe her life is not very good?Forget it, who makes me a kind person? The last thing to see is a beautiful girl living on the street.

"Since there is no place to go, let's stay."

"Does Master Zheng have anything else to do?"

"No, my lord, have fun."

Then he said to the girl: "Xiu'er, serve the good prince well."

"Yes, uncle."

After Zheng Jingren left, Li Xiuzhu brought Zheng Xiu to the inner room.

At this time, Li Canghai was talking to Su Ling'er. When he saw Li Xiuzhu coming in, Li Canghai stood up first.

Only then did Su Ling'er see Li Xiuzhu stand up. While bowing, he said generously: "Your Majesty asked someone to pass a message to me, but what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Ling'er and asked, "Maybe Miss Su represents the Su family?"

Su Ling'er was silent for a moment and then nodded.

"Ling'er is the only heir of the master's family, so he should be able to represent it. I don't know what the prince has to say. As long as it's not too difficult, I will agree on behalf of the Su family."

Su Ling'er's first thought was that Li Xiuzhu wanted the other two oirans of the Su family.

There are rumors from the outside world that Prince Li Xiuzhu is lustful, lustful, and extravagant.

However, what Li Xiuzhu said next made her pause suddenly, and she found it difficult to make a decision for a moment.

"There will be two imperial merchants in Suzhou and Hangzhou, and there can only be two, so is the Su family willing to replace the Sun family as imperial merchants?"

The amount of information contained in this sentence is too large, and it may be difficult for others to understand it for a while, but Sun Youling, Zheng Xiu, and Su Ling'er all understood it.

Sun Youling's face turned pale immediately, and the next second she knelt in front of Li Xiuzhu.

"I beg the prince to spare the Sun family for once. You Ling is willing to work hard to repay the prince."

Li Xiuzhu didn't reply, but looked at Su Ling'er with calm eyes.

After Su Ling'er was silent for a few breaths, she suddenly asked: "Can I know why the prince wants to destroy the Sun family?"

"Because of the new oiran?"

She also heard what Li Canghai said, so she had some speculation in this regard.

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he looked at Li Canghai. Li Canghai immediately lowered his head, not daring to look at Li Xiuzhu.

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu did not answer Su Ling'er's words, but said: "Wu'an Jun Bai Zhan was invited by me and my father-in-law."

This was almost the same as the answer. Anyway, Su Ling'er and the others understood.This is one of our own. If your Sun family kills one of their own, it is not normal for them to give you an explanation if they want to kill you.

Sun Youling lowered her head and looked gloomy.

Li Xiuzhu then looked at Sun Youling and said, "You are my king's woman. When the time comes, you can choose the women of the Sun family. As long as you choose, you will be innocent."

"I also allow you to pay them resettlement fees based on the standard of one hundred taels per person."

Hearing this, Sun Youling's eyes lit up and he raised his head suddenly.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. Thank you, Your Majesty."

What Sun Youling cares about most is her mother and two younger sisters. Although her two younger sisters do not share the same father and mother as her, they are the most loved by her.

She didn't expect that she could save them.

As for the others, maybe he can save them too.

"Get up."

Li Xiuzhu looked at Su Linger again.

"What do you think, Miss Su?"

Su Ling'er heard this and said, "Does my Su family have a choice? Or do I have a choice? From the moment the prince opened his mouth, he did not leave any escape route for my Su family."

"If I refuse, the Su family may become the next Sun family."

"It's just that I don't understand, what role does the Zheng family play in this?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "The Zheng family played the role of a smart person."

"The Zheng family took the initiative to enter the situation and actively attached themselves to the situation before it took shape. They even sent their brother's daughter over, which shows their sincerity."

"I don't know whether Miss Su believes it or not. This Miss Zheng's identity is definitely not the daughter of the ordinary brother of the head of the Zheng family."

Hearing this, Su Ling'er and the others looked at Zheng Xiu, and Zheng Xiu said generously: "Zheng Xiu, a civilian girl, is the heir of the younger brother of the Grand Master of the Zheng family. She is good at poetry at the age of eight and has been smart and beautiful since she was a child."

"I was taught privately by Mr. Bailu Academy. I can't say that I know everything about the past and the present, but I can still be considered a rich scholar."

"My eldest uncle only has one son, but he has not yet become a man. Originally, my eldest uncle raised Xiu'er with the intention of marrying Xiu'er to his eldest brother and assisting him in managing the Zheng family."

"But last night, the uncle suddenly asked Xiu'er to come and serve the prince."

"Xiu'er knows that from now on the Zheng family's backer will be the prince, so Xiu'er is here."

"Sister is willing to help the prince make plans and manage the family business. He can also teach his children to become talents without caring about worldly affairs."

Zheng Xiu's words made the three girls numb. They didn't expect that the head of the Zheng family was so willing to send his daughter-in-law, and she was not an ordinary daughter-in-law.

If this Zheng Xiu becomes famous, I am afraid she will soon become a talented woman in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "Did you see it? That's why I said that the head of the Zheng family is a smart man."

"I like smart people, so I won't make any demands on the Zheng family."

"No matter how much the Zheng family master achieves, as long as he is not against me, the Zheng family must be one of the imperial merchants."

At this time, Su Ling'er asked: "What does the prince want the Su family to do?"

Li Xiuzhu heard this and said, "Just stay still, but I will lead my troops to capture Suzhou and Hangzhou someday. I hope the Su family can open the city gate."

Su Ling'er nodded after hearing this, but still asked: "My lord, what benefits can the Su family get?"

"The Su family's main business is boating and gambling houses, so there is no need to expand outside."

Li Xiuzhu smiled when he heard this and said, "Miss Su's situation is too small."

"Imagine how the canal will be opened and the boats will be drawn from south to north, harvesting the wealth of various places."
