Chapter 15 — My Two Sisters Pretended to Be Dead, Two Years Later, They Were Captured by Their Husbands

My father's face immediately turned pale. He jumped up from his seat, his lips trembled twice, then sat down again. The Queen still sat upright, not revealing any joy or sadness. Only the Queen Mother was interested in moving forward a little.

"You said you are Mr. Quy Van?"

The elder sister bowed again and bowed.

"In the fourth chest are the total business books of the Quy Van brand from the day it was established until now. Every revenue and expenditure, every relief aid, every tax paid are fully recorded. I would like to ask the Queen Mother to take a look."

The book was offered. The Queen Mother flipped through a few pages and then looked at the Queen. The Queen received it and looked at it carefully for a while. Then, she raised her head to look at her sister.

"Phung Can, your assets are spread across three countries. Every year you pay taxes of more than two million taels of silver. The food relief you coordinate accounts for three-tenths of the entire country."

"How could a lady like you do that?"

Dich smiled slightly.

"My lady, because the common lady pretended to be a famous lady for sixteen years and had so much free time that she had nothing to do, she started doing business."

The Queen Mother laughed.

"Or for a phrase 'free time with nothing to do'."

After laughing, the Queen Mother glanced at Phung Thiet Nguu whose face was pale.

"Lieutenant Phung Thai, you have raised a very good daughter."

My parents looked like their parents had just passed away. Good is really good. The only thing is, that talent was completely not in his expectations. Concubine Chu Quy's face was even more remarkable. I don't know how expensive her recent white jade statue of Guan Yin is. But compared to one thousand five hundred acres of fields and five hundred thousand taels of silver, it truly becomes too small. Han Chi Thanh looked at her sister's back, her eyes were so complicated that I couldn't read them. Han Chi Qua stood next to him, looked at his senior brother, then looked at me. His lips moved slightly, not making a sound, only saying two words. I sat in the corner of the palace, silently giving a thumbs up. That's my billion. The eldest daughter of an old butcher at the market. Also one of the three leading wealthy merchants in the imperial capital. She single-handedly exposed her biggest secret, right at the most solemn occasion. From today onwards, no one will be able to use this matter to threaten her anymore. 《Chapter 22》 After the Queen Mother's birthday, the situation in the imperial capital changed. In the past, when mentioning the Phung family, what people thought of was an incompetent and useless captain. And now, what everyone is talking about is:

"It turns out that Mr. Quy Van is Miss Phung."

But my father still refused to give up. Three days later, Thuy Binh rushed in.

"Eldest Miss, it's not good. Lieutenant Phung Thai presented a secret seal to the Saint, saying that the trade routes under Mr. Quy Van's name were related to Tay Luong and Nam So, showing signs of collusion with the enemy and smuggling. He also asked the Saint to thoroughly investigate and seal all assets of the Quy Van brand."

The piece of chestnut cake in my hand fell to the ground.

"Did he really do that?"

On the contrary, she was extremely calm.

"As expected."

"The only card he can still play is to put a big hat on your head."

"The crime of colluding with the enemy and smuggling is no joke."

"That's why I said, book Mr. Quy Van's books must be clean."

The guy stood up.

"Three years ago, I predicted this day would come."

"All transactions of Quy Van brand in Tay Luong and Nam So go through official trade border gates. Every transaction has a confirmation stamp from the two countries' border gates."

"I even asked the officials at each border gate to add a fingerprint on the goods inspection slip, just to prevent this trick."

Having finished speaking, she adjusted her sleeves.

"Already prepared, just waiting for him to make a move."

Two days later, Thanh Thuong sent people from Tam Phap Company to check the books of the Quy Van brand. In the Tam Phap Company, there is a Thiet Tu Lang who belongs to Phung Thiet Nguu. When he arrived, he swaggered proudly, clearly wanting to make trouble. My sister placed three large boxes of books right in front of him.

"Please feel free, sir."

The Minister of the Ministry of Justice looked at it for two days. Flip from beginning to end. Don't say it's a mistake, I can't even find a single word. The books are so tight that it is impossible to refute them. His face turned from triumphant to doubtful, from doubtful to depressed, and finally turned black and walked away. The conclusion of Tam Phap Company is: Quy Van's business brand is legal, the books are clear, and there are no signs of collusion with the enemy or smuggling. Exactly on the day that conclusion was placed on the Emperor's throne, Prime Minister Han also presented a memorial chapter. The chapter also included something. That is the complete list of times Phung Thiet Nguu bribed Luc Ministry officials through all kinds of underground channels over the years.
