Distressed Young Woman Transmigrates: Wangfei Who Defies the Imperial Edict Chapter 265: Changes (6)

The sky was cloudy and drizzling.

The room is clean and cool, and charcoal is lit in the stove to expel the chill.

Xiao Yao was wearing a narrow-sleeved slim skirt, sitting in front of the window, looking at the banana trees beside the blue wall that were beaten green by the rain.

The irritability in his heart was overshadowed by waves, his uncle was still in prison, and the emperor did not take any action, just throwing his uncle in prison regardless.

Just when she was very irritable, someone came to report the arrival of King Beiqi.

Xiao Yao rushed out to greet her, walked to the porch under the pavilion, and saw Yan Chi walking towards her like the wind.

His hair was wet by the drizzle, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of water droplets. He put down the wet umbrella and glanced at Xiao Yao, his face was solemn, and his lips were drawn into a line.

Xiao Yao took out a handkerchief to help him dry his face, and poured him a cup of hot tea.

Yan Chi took a sip of tea: "Yao'er, you can still hold your breath."

Xiao Yao smiled wryly: "This is called trying to calm down. I can't do anything now, I can only wait, let alone mess myself up. Is there any news from your investigation these days?"

Yan Chi pondered for a while before saying: "This time Xiao Shangshu caused a lot of trouble."

"What's the trouble?"

Xiao Yao could hear the unusualness in his words, and vaguely knew that what he said next might be the main reason why his uncle was imprisoned.

"Last year there was a problem with the timber used in the construction of the flood control project in Lingzhou. Brother Yang Yu, and Yang Yu’s wood was provided by a wood merchant in the Northern Dynasty. If there is no problem, he will not be exposed. The key flood control project last year was quickly washed away by the flood, causing the farmland in a radius of hundreds of miles to be submerged. Thousands of people were affected."

Hearing this, Xiao Yao was covered in cold sweat, and his widened black eyes showed horror.

"The wood merchants of the Northern Dynasty fled back to the Qi State a long time ago, leaving this mess to be cleaned up by your uncle. The imperial court has long stipulated that the Ministry of Industry must choose from the merchants of the Feng State for all tenders. Mrs. Xiao's cousin left this time. There was a big problem with this curve, and the flood control project was actually supplied by merchants from the Northern Dynasty, and if something happened, Yang Yu became a colluder with the people of Qi and committed treason.”
