Chapter 1563 - 1562: Keep a Low Profile_1
Without encountering any resistance, the matter was smoothly resolved, and after leaving the court assembly, Yang Wenxiao returned to Da’an Palace.
The members of the Wu family had already been suppressed, and Da’an Palace had returned to its former peace.
At this time, the guard in charge of tallying the Wu family’s wealth reported that all of the Wu family’s property had been moved to the National Treasury, the total value of everything not even amounting to thirty million taels.
For an aristocratic family with a legacy of several hundred years, the sum of all their silver and valuable items was less than thirty million taels. Qiao Xiaomai immediately felt a pang in her chest, lamenting the loss of wealth that was rightfully hers!
Yang Wenxiao also frowned, but he quickly adjusted his mood and comforted her.
After all, this year they were planning to go to war with Longshi Country, and by then they would not only seize the Wu family’s wealth, but also that of the Duan family in one fell swoop.
There was also the wealth of the Longshi Royal Family. Prince Fengbao had coveted Qiao Xiaomai at his birthday banquet, and they must teach the Royal Family a lesson. The wealth seized would be invested into the construction of canals and the bluestone road.
Heartened by Yang Wenxiao’s words, Qiao Xiaomai’s spirits lifted.
This was more like it.
