Chapter 1707 The taste of longing
Shopkeeper Yu made the decision promptly.
"Princess, there is no need to rent one. I haven't reported the matter of the manor to the boss yet. There are many manors nearby. If Princess can use it, I will transfer it to you and I will find another one."
"Even if the boss knows, he will definitely agree. Don't worry, Princess."
Yan Ruyu smiled and nodded, understanding his intention.
I didn't want to bring any trouble to the Qian family, so since Manager Yu said so, I just went with the flow.
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and said, "Manager Yu, after all, you were the one who saw it and bought it first. How can I take advantage of you?"
"How about this, I'll add one third to the original price, and in addition," Yan Ruyu looked back at the iron ore, "after the situation of the mine is estimated, I'll let you buy a share."
"Of course, it's a hidden share. This way, even if something happens in the future, it won't be traced back to the Qian family."
Shopkeeper Yu was overjoyed and bowed quickly: "Thank you, Princess. I will write a letter to the boss when I get back."
Since this is related to iron ore, such important matters must be reported to the boss.
After talking to Shopkeeper Yu, other matters will be handled quickly.
The abbot suggested tearing down the wall of the manor and connecting it to the outside, which would make it easier to enter.
But Yan Ruyu felt that doing so would inevitably attract other people's attention, and first of all, the tenants in the manor would not be able to keep it secret.
She thought for a moment and said, "Dig an underground passage."
In addition, I have to find a way to buy this piece of land as well to avoid trouble in the future.
This is a simple matter. Just ask a few tenants and you will find out.
That place looked like a wasteland. It was said to belong to an old man in the village. He had no children and after his death the land was divided among his clansmen. There were not many people in the clan and the people who got the land did not cultivate it well. Later on, it remained wasteland. When they heard that someone wanted to buy it, they sold it without hesitation.
Yan Ruyu stayed here for two days. The work was almost done and the mineral resources were estimated. It was undoubtedly iron ore, and the output was not low.
She felt relieved and wanted to tell Huo Changhe about this.
In addition, some personnel need to be arranged to handle follow-up matters.
Yan Ruyu thought about it and realized that there were not many people available at hand, so she had to make good arrangements for each of them.
The village is big, so Jiang can come here easily.
Jiang Paopao doesn't like being bound by rules. He thinks the city is not as open as here. He is good at Kung Fu, smart, and extremely loyal to Huo Changhe, so he is just the right person for the job.
As for the people who mine iron ore, they need more careful arrangements.
After leaving the manor and returning to the palace, Yan Ruyu received a letter from Huo Changhe as soon as she arrived.
The letter mentioned the captured traitor and the murdered Constable Liu. One could tell from the words how sad Huo Changhe was.
Yan Ruyu also felt a sigh in her heart.
Talking about the process of military doctor Cao treating patients, he did not find anyone with the epidemic, which shows that this matter is indeed false. Coupled with the information confirmed by Li Jingyao, it is certain that it is a conspiracy.
Since it is a conspiracy, it must be destroyed to let the people know that it is false. The people behind it must be found out, or at least the person who poisoned the person must be caught.
It is not an easy task in any aspect.
In addition, the ghost hand was caught. This was good news, but it also surprised Yan Ruyu. When she saw him say that he was dressed up as a bearded wealthy businessman and his outfit was particularly exaggerated, she couldn't help laughing.
After seeing the happy things, Yan Ruyu felt a little depressed again. She was afraid that Huo Changhe's return would be delayed again.
She sat at the table and read the letter over and over again.
A faint sigh.
It turns out this is what it feels like to miss someone.
The lights were on in the mansion. Yan Ruyu was just about to go to the eldest lady's courtyard for dinner when she ran into Huo Changxu, who was in a hurry.
"Sister-in-law."
Yan Ruyu saw his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"To be honest, sister-in-law, Yu Qingyue said she wanted to leave."
Yan Ruyu narrowed her eyes slightly. She had been busy with the iron mine these past two days and had not taken care of Yu Chunxiao. Yu Qingyue must have not received any news from Yu Chunxiao either, so she became anxious and suspicious.
That's why she asked to leave.
After taking a look at Huo Changxu's expression, Yan Ruyu asked, "Why? Don't you want her to leave?"
Huo Changxu was startled and said in embarrassment: "Not really, it's because...if she leaves, we have to send someone to watch her. Maybe there won't be any other clues during this period of time."
His concerns were correct.
Yu Qingyue had managed to sneak into the palace with great difficulty. If her identity was not exposed and there was a mastermind behind the scenes, he would probably contact her.
The palace is also in a better position to wait for an opportunity to act.
But if she leaves, not only will we have to arrange for someone to keep an eye on her, but maybe no one will contact her for a while.
As far as they were concerned, the connection with Yu Chunxiao had been severed.
Thinking of this, Yan Ruyu said: "You are right, she should stay, go and persuade her."
"Me?" Huo Changxu waved his hand. "I can't say for sure. What if..."
"It's nothing, Changxu. Your elder brother hasn't come back yet, so you are the oldest male in our family. You should be the head of the family. She is a spy in our palace, so what are you afraid of?"
"Just do your best. The worst possible outcome is that she will find out that we already know her identity as a spy."
"It's no big deal."
Hearing her words, Huo Changxu's tense heart suddenly relaxed.
"Okay, sister-in-law, I'll try."
He turned to leave, but Yan Ruyu stopped him, "It's getting late. Have dinner with mother first, then you can leave."
Huo Changxu turned around again and walked with her.
"If it really doesn't work," Yan Ruyu whispered, "I have another way to keep her."
"She has been trying to get close to you before, and now it's not that easy for her to leave."
Huo Changxu was curious: "What method?"
Yan Ruyu smiled softly: "I can't tell you now."
Huo Changxu had no choice but to nod.
What else can be done? The only thing is to reduce the dosage of the diuretic by half to make her feel less uncomfortable.
I have finally managed to save my life, I can't let it die because of my willfulness. As a spy, I should understand this principle better.
After dinner, Huo Changxu went to see Yu Qingyue. Yan Ruyu talked to the eldest lady for a while, and the space vibrated.
The abbot is still staying at the iron mine, reporting the situation at any time.
"what happened?"
The abbot's voice sounded: "Hey, Ruyu, I remembered something, how about letting my little disciple come over?"
Yan Ruyu thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about Li Wanglin?"
"Yes, her space has just been opened, and it is the time when she needs more practice. It is just right for her to practice with me."
"Besides, if anything happens here, she can help after she becomes proficient in it. It would be great to put the iron into space."
That is indeed good advice.
Li Wanglin has nothing specific to do in the palace now, and she always feels embarrassed, as if she is eating and living for free.
Finding something for her to do and giving her space to practice is like killing two birds with one stone.
Yan Ruyu tacitly agreed in her heart and said with a smile: "You want to eat seafood, right?"
After all, seafood does not require high cooking skills. You can enjoy its freshness by simply blanching or steaming it.
The abbot chuckled and said, "I can't hide anything from you."
