Peasant Woman’s Decreed Life as a Wife

Chapter 1979: Chapter 1976: The Letter

"Speaking of, the Qi family only relies on their deeper foundation than ours."

"It’s time to cause them some trouble."

"What do you intend to do?" Grand Tutor Deng subconsciously frowned, feeling somewhat displeased with his insubordination.

Deng Rong quickly recovered, as if what had just happened was an illusion. He lazily leaned back on the chair, "I say, the Qi family is really annoying. That old fox, Minister Qi, is probably devising some plan to scheme against us. Father, are you just going to wait for the Qi family to come knocking at our door before you retaliate?"

"What do you want to do?" Grand Tutor Deng knew his son never had a good impression of the Qi family. He was quick-witted and had a knack for plotting, always achieving his goals.

"Doesn’t Minister Qi value His Highness Prince Qi the most?" Deng Rong curled his lips.

Grand Tutor Deng didn’t oppose, but softly reminded, "This matter needs to be handled cleanly, don’t leave any evidence for others to seize."

"Rest assured, leave it to me."

Deng Rong left safely, with mischievous thoughts emerging again.

After court was dismissed that day, a few princes left in secret.

And Chu Ziluo, upon ascending her position, received a letter from Prince Rong.

She sat in the courtyard, opened the letter, and after reading it, learned that Li Chongjin was heading to the Northern Region battlefield, which worried her. However, this was a good opportunity for Li Chongjin, and she wouldn’t stop him, only hoped he’d be safe.

She then took out the sachet she embroidered herself, placing the safety talisman she had prayed for years ago, and sent it to him.

Over the years in the capital, she seldom visited temples, especially after the incident at the Buddhist Light Temple, she no longer went there.

In fact, the ladies and young misses in the capital were also affected by the temple’s closure.

After sending off the items, Chu Ziluo tucked the letter into her bosom and went to find Ye Muyu.

Ye Muyu was making plans.

She had been contemplating how to ensure a retreat for her family.

Staying in the capital could easily involve them, the entire family had to be smart.

The only option was to privately establish several trade caravans. These caravans were mainly to relay messages and train skills.

Having such a group of capable subordinates was an additional assurance.

Moreover, Ye Muyu wasn’t planning to mix these caravan members with Chu Heng’s people; it was better for the two to remain separate.

Thinking this way, Ye Muyu arranged for the caravan associated with the medicine shop this time.

The trade caravan for the medicine shop could learn from the Du families’ experience, since currently, the Northwest region had a greater concentration of medicinal herbs.

She decided to expand the business, so the number of caravans would only increase.

Of course, with more caravans, there were more routes.

Even now, as long as the commerce between Beirong and Great Chu remained unchanged, there’d be another trade caravan route outside the pass.

She also focused attention on the original Silk Road route outside the pass.

Chu Ziluo arrived and saw her busy writing something.

Curiously asked, "Mother, what are you doing?"

"Organizing some data, training personnel. After opening the medicine shop, it’s not enough to buy medicinal herbs from local folks. We also need caravans to collect herbs from various places."

It would take at least two to three years for the local people to grow herbs according to the yamen’s request and see results.

However, the benefit of cultivating medicinal herbs by the people is easier purchase in the future but establishing trade caravans is very necessary.

Chu Ziluo understood immediately as she listened and shared the news of Li Chongjin leaving the capital for the Northern Region.

Ye Muyu nodded upon hearing, showing she understood.
