3 min read662 words

Yun Dai said, "Gu Hongmiao, you have never looked down upon merchants. Now the

entire Gu family is going to be a merchant's household. I want to ask you how

it feels?"

Gu Hongmiao knelt on the ground, hanging his head, looking at the appearance

of wanting to cry, but unable to cry.

"Why? Why is this?" He muttered to himself, "What has the Gu family become?

It's desolate and hard to eat. Why did the Queen Empress refuse to let the

Caomin's family go? Isn't it true that there is no father and daughter in the

Queen Empress's heart? Love?"

Yun Dai bent down and looked at him directly: "Gu Hongmiao, when you wanted to

sink your own daughter to death and throw your grandson to death, why didn't

you care about the affection between your son and daughter? In your eyes, your

daughter is just a Anything that can be drowned at will?"

Gu Hongmiao's eyes flashed and his expression became painful.

"I... how would I want to let my daughter die? It's just that the kind of

vulgar and humiliating things at the time, if not severely punished... alas."

He sighed in pain, "After all, the Caomin is not true. Go ahead."

"Haha." Yun Dai sneered, "If the emperor hadn't passed by and rescued me and

Yan'er, we would have already turned into bones. You are so cruel and

ruthless, and you expect me to care about your father and daughter? It's

ridiculous!"

"If Caomin is really cruel, and then you stay with your child at Pan's house,

I will have more opportunities to do it. How can you live in peace?"

"Really, when I was about to do business, who sent someone to stop threatening

Aunt Pan's family? Sister Yun Wu sold lanterns on the street in order to make

a living, and who sent people to destroy and expel several times?" Yun Dai

sneered. "You think merchants are a lowly thing, well, in the future, your

family will be merchants who have not waited for generations to come!"

Gu Hongmiao couldn't bear it anymore, tears came out.

He covered his face and cried.

A family of scholarly family, half a lifetime and precious.

This is his pride.

Everything is gone now.

The family has been completely defeated in his hands, and now he has gone from

farming and studying to a merchant's household.

This blow was a hundred times heavier than the blow that Ye's and Gu Yunxiang

gave him.

He was so shocked that he could hardly get up, and he was discouraged.

Yun Dai was not interested in seeing his appearance, and after reading the

imperial decree, she turned around.

She saw Tian holding the child, thought about it, walked over, and looked at

the child.

Yu An is a very cute child, but it's a pity that he has a disability in his

leg, and looks thin and small.

Tian asked timidly: "Empress, can you only do business in the future?"

"Yes." Yun Dai said, "do you think doing business is not as good as being a

teacher?"

"No, the local women don't think so." Tian said, "As a teacher, only three or

five dollars a month, it is still difficult to support a family. If it is to

do business..."

She paused, and asked in a low voice: "The local woman wants to ask the Queen

Mother, I don't know what business the emperor asks Xianggong to do, can I

make money?"

Yun Dai smiled and said, "He will know what kind of business he will soon

know. Although I can't guarantee that you will live a rich life, at least you

can have enough food and clothing."

Tian's eyes lit up, and he immediately knelt down with the child in his arms:

"Thank you, Empress, Empress."

Yun Dai raised her eyebrows: "You were originally a scholar, but now you are a

businessman and your status has changed. Do you thank me instead?"
