Rebirth of the Firstborn Daughter: Life is like a Dream

He approached Fang Shengjing sincerely, pretending to be friendly, and even showing his willingness to favor them, just to let the Fang family deal with the Gong family this time, but what weakness did the Gong family have in the hands of the Fang family? He has not found out yet.

There are only fifteen days left until the bidding for transporting grain to the imperial court.

"Have you found out how many people in the capital have reached out to Baiyue?" Wei Bingyan asked softly, her eyes falling on Li Yuyan's fluttering collar.

He was wearing a dark blue round-collared gown today, and it was difficult to see any slight marks left on his clothes. She looked for a long time before she noticed the difference in color...

"I suspect... many people in the capital have taken advantage of the Gong family, but I don't know whether they have actually invested in it." There is also the Fudian Silver Bank in Jinyun City. The Fourth Prince and Boss Pan must be in collusion behind the scenes. This is what he found out when he was repeatedly investigating which people in the capital have connections with the Gong family.

Wei Bingyan looked up in surprise, "Shares? This... isn't this clearly robbing the people of their silver?"

If Shen Rouruo or other destined nobles in the palace really wanted to invest, the Gong family would never dare to accept their silver. It would be just a gesture. A lot of benefits would be sent to them every year. No wonder someone has been hinting to Li Yuyan that the export of river transportation should be sold to the Gong family from the royal family of Tianjia.

"His Majesty already knows about this matter." Li Yuyan said, "Otherwise he would not have allowed me to come to Baiyue."

Wei Bingyan whispered, "So His Majesty wants to use your hand to help him sort out his affairs thoroughly."

Li Yuyan smiled and said, "It's a pity that many people don't understand His Majesty's intentions at all, and they think they can take advantage of this opportunity to make a profit. I have had contact with Boss Gong several times. He is very insidious. It seems that he is unwilling to give benefits to these people in the capital for nothing all year, and he is trying to draw a line between himself and them."

"How could these people let him go!" Wei Bingyan said, "Then the Xiao family...does the Bai family have any dealings with each other? Could it be Concubine De's intention?"

"Xiao Nianguang's meeting with the Second Young Master Bai may not necessarily be the intention of Concubine De and Old Master Xiao. Don't worry about his affairs. Leave them to me. You should rest well these days. You have lost a lot of weight." Li Yuyan said, holding her tightly in his arms. She had really lost weight.

The emperor used Li Yuyan's hand to sort out affairs, but his relatives could not see his intention clearly and kept putting pressure on him from behind, trying to make money from the emperor's treasury. The Fourth Prince, Concubine De, and possibly other princes... Those people had carefully placed spies in Baiyue, although she didn't know which ones were their henchmen.

She remembered that in her previous life, when the Fourth Prince forced the emperor to abdicate, in addition to relying on the Linghu family, he also had help from the north. Could it be the Gong family? They all blamed her for only caring about her own hatred at that time, but ignoring the situation in the world.

The pressure in the capital is one thing, but what about the officials in power in Baiyue?

They may not necessarily assist Li Yuyan in his official duties. Moreover, in recent years, the Gong family has already fed all the officials in power. It is actually not difficult for the Gong family to obtain enough capital for the export of grain.

Yes, if the river transport falls into the hands of the Gong family, will it be easier for the Fourth Prince to abdicate in the future?

The salaries of officials and soldiers all depend on river transport...

The most important thing is the soldiers’ pay and food!

Therefore, the Fourth Prince’s men must not be allowed to obtain river transportation!

But who are the three companies most likely to get river transport? It seems that we are not sure now.

Even so, Li Yuyan should have a way to deal with it. He looks as if he is confident about it.

While she was deeply immersed in her own thoughts, Li Yuyan had already slipped his hand slowly into her flowing collar of clothes and was holding and kneading her soft breasts.

Wei Bingyan blushed, watched him pull his hand out, and pointed at a tiny mark on his collar, "What is this?"

Li Yuyan looked down and asked with a smile, "Isn't this your gouache?"

"I never use gouache with such a taste. Li Yuyan, what did you do out there? Did you flirt with some romantic interest again?" Wei Bingyan's tone was full of jealousy. She believed in him and believed that he would not do anything reckless out there.

But seeing another woman's makeup on him was unbearable in her heart.

"Except for you, I have no interest in any other woman. I just took you in to deceive people..." What Li Yuyan hated most was Wei Bingyan getting angry, so he hurriedly consoled her and explained why there was a smell of powder on his body.

"If you didn't touch her, how come there is powder on your body?" Wei Bingyan immediately got angry when she heard that someone had sent him a woman.

Li Yuyan's eyes turned cold, and he concentrated and said, "This is her sincerity. Junior Sister, don't be angry. I was just about to send that woman away. I kept her well these days, just wanting to use her..."

After listening to his defense for a long time, Wei Bingyan just snorted, still in a bad mood, and left him alone and went back to the house.

Li Yuyan looked coldly at the watercolor on the flying collar of her clothes. He had never been close to that woman, but she could still leave subtle marks on his body. Did she do it on purpose for Bingyan to see it? Did she think that this could threaten him?

It's really wishful thinking!

However, this was not the time to settle the accounts, he still had to make his junior sister happy.

Li Yuyan suppressed the raging anger and murderous intent rising in his heart, stood up hastily and chased after the woman. When he returned to the house, he started to explain himself again, telling Wei Bingyan the details of the woman outside, who sent her, what role he could play by staying, how many times they had met in the past few days, and what they had said... He told Wei Bingyan everything in detail.

Seeing how cautious he was, Wei Bingyan couldn't help but laugh as he looked like he was really afraid that she would ignore him.

"Are you not angry anymore?" Li Yuyan moved closer to her, placed his hands lightly on her waist, and asked gently and tenderly, with a flattering expression on his face.

"Who said I'm not angry?" Wei Bingyan looked at him. "I know that nothing can go wrong with your business, but who asked you to sacrifice your appearance? You said that you didn't come back for the past few nights. Were you with this woman?"

Li Yuyan hurriedly hugged her, his face innocent to the extreme, "I was very cautious and never stayed at her place. If you really count, I was there for less than two hours, and it was all for important official business. You can't wrongly accuse me."

Wei Bingyan twisted the firm muscles of his arm, "How did I wrong you? Two hours, there are so many things that can be done in two hours."
