Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1473

Yun Shang lowered her eyes slightly and said, "You are a member of the Cao clan, so you are naturally more familiar with the business of the Cao clan's shops than me. Can you estimate how much cash your uncle could get when he closed the shops?"

"It's hard to estimate. My uncle is in charge of the family business. Among our generation, only my uncle's two sons are a little familiar with these things. Others rarely know the details in it.

But I think there are still millions of taels of silver."

Yun Shang raised her eyebrows and said with a cold smile, "The Cao clan is really a wealthy family. The cash you get by closing off a part of the stores can be equal to the wealth of two national treasuries."

Yun Shang didn't ask any more. She could guess what the money was for.

Cao Han should have known what she would guess, so he revealed it to her without hesitation.

Yun Shang kept silent for a while and said, "I know. You did a good job. If you find anything unusual, report it to me.

Apart from this, is there anything else you want to report to me?"

Cao Han thought for a while and shook his head.

"For the time being... Nothing else."

Yun Shang nodded, "You don't have anything else to report. But I have something to ask you." "Please ask me, Your Highness." Cao Han lowered his head. A strange look flashed through his eyes, but it was quickly concealed.

"I heard that your mother went to the temple to pray the other day?"

Cao Han replied in a low voice, "Mother did go out a few days ago. After the emperor left the city for autumn hunting, she pretended to go to the temple to pray. In fact, she went to the city next to the temporary imperial palace with us. I have reported this to you before, Your Highness..." Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I have sent someone to keep an eye on your mother for a period of time, but there seems to be nothing wrong. I don't understand. Your mother is in poor health, but she still traveled a long way to follow us, and she appeared to have done nothing. What is her purpose?"

A tinge of sadness flashed across Cao Han's face, "About this... I don't know. I can't inquire about my mother. My mother has always been unhappy with me. Later, because of Your Highness, I got an official position in the court. She became more and more afraid of me.

Although I have also put my people around her, I can't really get close to her. So I only know that she went with us, but I don't know why."

Yun Shang didn't make things difficult for him. "I've heard about it recently. It's said that on the way back home, your mother met an orphan girl who was injured and lost her memory. She even brought her back to the mansion, ready to make her your brother's wife?"

"Yes, Your Highness." It was a matter put on the table, and there was nothing to hide from Yun Shang. "Yes, that's true."

"Have you ever seen that orphan girl?"

"I have sent many people to look for her, but we still cannot find her. Later, someone told me that the orphan girl your mother brought back home who had lost her memory acted in a similar way to Qian Zhuo. After I sent someone to inquire about it carefully, I grew suspicious as well."

Cao Han couldn't help but open his eyes wide, as if he could not believe what Yun Shang had said. "Your Highness, do you mean that the orphan girl that my mother brought back is Qian Zhuo?" "Yes." Yun Shang nodded, "But it's just suspicion and there is no evidence."

Cao Han frowned and thought for a while. Then he said, "I didn't think so before. But now that I heard your words, I feel that it seems to be true.

The girl is as lively and cheerful as Qian Zhuo. Besides, Qian Zhuo served you, so she is well behaved, meticulous and does everything appropriately. Her manners are naturally very good, and those ladies from big families naturally can't compare with her."

Yun Shang nodded, "Yes, I just heard what you said, and I feel that the characteristics you said can match with Qian Zhuo's."

"Your Highness, do you mean that the person my mother saved by accident is Qian Zhuo? But their looks don't match."

Yun Shang sneered, "Whether your mother saved her by accident, only your mother knows. I suspect that your mother went out of the palace for this. As for appearance..."

Yun Shang pursed her lips and said, "There are so many masters who are good at disguise in the world. It's not difficult to change a person's appearance."
