Chapter 899 Do you think the Queen knows that you like her?
Jiang Fenghua chuckled, "Perhaps there are greater interests attracting your father. The Bai family has been engaged in business for generations to achieve its current success and scale. However, there is a folk saying that wealth and poverty cannot last for more than three generations. Is your Bai family now on the decline?"
Bai Yuhan was stunned. "How did your Majesty know? There are huge conflicts within our Bai family right now. Everyone is scheming against each other to fight for the family property. As the head of the Bai family, my father sometimes can't control everyone.
Just like when my fifth uncle and fifth aunt opened a branch in Shengjing City, they embezzled the Bai family's goods and money. Shengjing City has such a big market, but the Bai family has to subsidize them every year. They just said that they needed to build relationships and give gifts, and that business was not good and they lost money every year. But after my father came, he realized that business in Shengjing City was very good, so now my father is ready to take back the power of my fifth uncle and fifth aunt and let them stay in Shengjing City to manage the Bai family's business personally.
But my uncles and aunts will definitely be unhappy. The Bai family is currently splitting up, and my third uncle, fourth uncle, other cousins, and my brothers and sisters are all causing me a lot of worry."
Jiang Fenghua had long guessed what Bai He was thinking. If he hadn't gotten involved with the Beixiao Kingdom, he might have let the Bai family's daughter marry into a wealthy family, or marry into the palace to be the emperor's concubine. Being involved with the royal family could change the Bai family's bloodline.
Now he has colluded with the Northern Xiao Kingdom. Can he still rely on the Northern Xiao Kingdom to invade the Great Zhou in a few decades to exchange for blood? By that time, Bai He will be too old to walk, and the Bai family will have been defeated long ago.
So his thoughts may be the same as Xiao Shang's, wanting to use the secret techniques of Yinchuan Kingdom to change the family's fortune in advance.
Jiang Fenghua said, "Just do what Lord Xiao tells you to do!"
Bai Yuhan said, "As long as the Queen always treats Yuhan as a friend, Yuhan will be very happy."
Jiang Fenghua was stunned. She had never considered Bai Yuhan as a friend. It should be said that she had never considered anyone as a friend, even though they considered her a friend. The only relationship between her and others was one of interest. If they got along well, it was because of the interest. If they didn't, they were strangers, or even just enemies. She would not treat others unfairly, let alone herself.
She always regarded herself as an egoist, but now Bai Yuhan treated her as a friend, Gao Qingtong treated her as a friend, and Lu Xuefei also treated her as a friend. They all thought she was a good person.
Is she kind? She doesn't know whether she is kind or not, but she knows that she is not a good person. She is just being honest with herself and has a clear conscience towards others.
Before leaving, Bai Yuhan repeatedly assured her that she would not let the Bai family betray the Great Zhou Dynasty and would not let the enemy's cavalry fall on the land of the Central Plains. She looked as if she was ready to die heroically.
Jiang Fenghua smiled slightly and said calmly: "I believe you."
The two seemed to have reached some kind of consensus, a consensus to jointly safeguard the peaceful lives of the people of the Great Zhou.
Jiang Fenghua kept thinking about what Bai Yuhan said to her...
Bai Yuhan said: "In her heart, Queen Jiang is a righteous person. She is the queen of the Great Zhou Dynasty. The queen will definitely do her utmost to protect the people. She also wants to become a righteous person like the queen."
Jiang Fenghua asked herself, was she such a selfish person, was she really just trying to seize the throne?
Now that she is the queen, will she really do whatever it takes just to keep her position?
Xie Shang is the emperor of Da Zhou, and his responsibility is to protect Da Zhou. She is the queen of Da Zhou, and she should also assist him in protecting the people of Da Zhou.
Jiang Fenghua didn't know that she had also changed quietly. She thought that she had long abandoned kindness and turned into a selfish person. In fact, her kindness was engraved in her bones. She and Xie Shang would use their lives to protect the people, and would not let the iron cavalry of the Northern Xiao Kingdom set foot on the land of the Great Zhou.
What she was protecting was not her own position as queen, but the homes of the people of the world. In her dream, the Great Zhou was in pieces, the country was destroyed, and the families were ruined. She would never allow such a scene to happen again in this life.
Xiao Yu came to the Shang Mansion to deliver a gift and happened to meet Jiang Fenghua. He bowed respectfully and said, "Your humble servant pays respect to Her Majesty the Queen."
Jiang Fenghua said, "Master Xiao, please don't be polite."
After saying that, she left without stopping, holding Hongxiu's hand.
Xiao Yu stared at her back for a long time and couldn't come back to his senses.
Qin Yunyan's voice rang in his ears: "The Queen has left, but Master Xiao is still reluctant to let her go!"
Xiao Yu frowned, feeling a burst of heat spraying on his face. He quickly dodged it and said, "It's you."
Qin Yunyan was dressed very beautifully today. She knew that no matter how pretty she was, she couldn't arouse Xiao Yu's interest. He didn't even bother to look at her. She said, "Master Xiao knew I would come..."
Xiao Yu was about to leave before she could finish, but Qin Yunyan suddenly blocked his way and said, "If you dare to leave, I will scream for help."
Xiao Yu just found it unbelievable. If he had known that she was still like this, he would not have helped her.
He continued to leave, and Qin Yunyan said again: "If you dare to leave, I will tell you that Xiao Yu likes the Queen."
Xiao Yu stopped in his tracks and didn't move another step. He said in a deep voice, "Miss Bai, please say whatever you want to say!"
Qin Yunyan didn't expect him to call her "Miss Bai." She wasn't jealous of the Queen, because Xiao Yu was just unrequited in love with her. She deliberately teased him, "Do you think the Queen knows you like her?"
"Qin Yunyan, don't think that you can get rid of your slave status in the Qin family just because you become the daughter of the Bai family. The more glorious you were just now, the more miserable you will be next. Believe it or not." Xiao Yu was angry.
Qin Yunyan suppressed her smile and said seriously, "Xiao Yu, I remember your kindness. If you need any help from me in the future, just let me know."
"No need." He said coldly.
Qin Yunyan liked him. She thought that all men would like her because of her beauty, but Xiao Yu didn't.
She pretended to be nonchalant: "You will need it. What I say always counts."
Qin Yunyan twisted her slender waist and slowly left. Xiao Yu felt that she had something else to say. What was she trying to say? Why did she say that he needed her help?
Xiao Yu gave the gift and left the Shang Mansion directly.
Xiao Shang changed his clothes and walked out from the darkness. He stared at Xiao Yu's back and thought to himself, "It seems that Xiao Yu made this move in advance. As a fellow Xiao clan member, he should have switched his service to the Xiao family long ago."
In his previous life, Xiao Yu made great contributions to the Northern Xiao Kingdom, and he should also serve the Northern Xiao Kingdom in this life.

Jiang Fenghua got on the sedan chair as soon as she left the Shang Mansion. However, before the sedan chair had gone far, she quietly got off and got on an inconspicuous carriage that had been prepared long ago.
She thought: Xiao Shang should come to such a lively occasion!
After a while, Xiao Yu also left the store. Jiang Fenghua stared at him and lowered the curtain without thinking too much.
Hongxiu said, "It's Master Xiao."
Aoxue also looked along the carriage curtain, "Your Majesty, someone is following Master Xiao."
Jiang Fenghua sat upright and looked outside again. She saw a richly dressed young man following Xiao Yu all the way. She said, "Prince Xiao, you think I don't recognize him just because he changed his face. Let someone notify Lin Feng and we'll follow him."
Aoxue asked the driver to follow slowly.
