Yang Ruxin frowned.
"The Crown Prince gave Dao Xuziās only promise to Empress Yunnuan to me. I canāt be insincere, right?" Gu Qingheng smiled, "Now it seems itās worth it." His wife actually became Dao Xuziās apprentice, just for that, those three mines werenāt given away in vain.
"But will Grandfather be willing?"
"Grandfather was heartbroken by my motherās death back then, but my mother died of illness. Thereās no way to prove the Gu Family killed her, yet the Gu Family continued to rise in power..." Gu Qingheng sighed, "Actually, Grandfatherās ambitions remained unfulfilled. My uncles are indeed talented, yet..." Yet their talents cannot be displayed, which is very stifling.
"War requires Silver, and even more iron." Gu Qingheng sighed, "Iām very conflicted actually, not knowing whether to bring Grandfather and my uncles back into the fold."
"What if..." Yang Ruxin puckered her lips for a moment, "What if we find an iron mine?"
"We?" Gu Qingheng frowned, "How do we find it?" Suddenly his eyes lit up, "Do you know how to find mineral veins?"
"I donāt have that skill, but..." Yang Ruxin shook her head, "But do you remember that Death Valley?"
"Death Valley?" Gu Qingheng looked at Yang Ruxin and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Right, how could I forget that place? It should be a very large iron vein."
Yang Ruxin nodded, "At that time, Xiwang said that those who went there would bleed to death upon returning. Actually, thatās iron toxicity."
"I want Grandfather to go and check it out, to be sure." Gu Qingheng exhaled, "But whether to disclose it, we need to discuss further."
"You can decide that." Yang Ruxin nodded.
"You are really my lucky star." Gu Qingheng pulled Yang Ruxin into his embrace.
"Alright, donāt be sentimental." Yang Ruxin giggled and pushed him, "Weāre home."
But Gu Qingheng simply didnāt care, even tightening his grip.
"You..."
Then the words she wanted to say were swallowed by the other party.
Later, the car stopped for a long time before Gu Qingheng released Yang Ruxin.
Yang Ruxin was too lazy to complain anymore; after all his skin was thicker, it didnāt matter anymore.
The matter of opening the hotpot restaurant was left to Gu Di, with Du Yunpeng assisting.
Just as these things were settled, the Prince brought his Queen to visit.
"I mentioned before wanting to visit madam, but it got delayed due to trivial matters." The Prince still had a gentle and calm demeanor, "Now, I must trouble madam to examine my wife."
Queen Yunxiong indeed was a beauty, but her face was pale, looking frail and fragile. At this moment she nodded to Yang Ruxin: "Thank you, madam."
Yang Ruxin nodded and invited them inside.
"The Prince and Queen are really a deeply affectionate couple." Yang Ruxin casually remarked.
"Hehe, over these years, this body of mine has dragged him down." Yunxiongās eyes paused for a moment, then she smiled and sighed, "Medicines have practically become meals."
Yang Ruxin didnāt say anything, but reached out and placed her fingers on Yunxiongās wrist.
Outside, the Prince chatted casually with Gu Qingheng: "Madam Gu is truly a wonderful person, so many business ideas, I found them so intriguing myself."
"My wife is very clever." Gu Qingheng didnāt deny it, "Maybe she was terribly afraid of poverty before, so she focuses on earning Silver, hehe, this is indeed beyond the reach of ordinary people."
