Never divorce, never stop getting rich

Chapter 144 Innocent Involvement

The empress either noticed something or was too busy to care. In any case, Princess Yongle was living a comfortable life in the academy and was becoming increasingly reluctant to leave. No one from the palace came.

"Madam...are all these crushed?" The infrastructure research team has already started the first batch of experiments, selecting slaves with talents in this area, and the first to bear the brunt of the is the construction team specially equipped by the academy.

"Why should I doubt what my senior brother said? Just work hard and I'll make you money later." Qian Qiansui put all his points into infrastructure and weapons development. The research and development of paper and printing technology had reached a bottleneck. Even if he wanted to go a step further, he could only produce peripheral products, such as kraft paper, absorbent paper and the like.

If you want to get deeper technology, you need to develop matching equipment and basic theories. In the ancient society of Tangguo, these things are too advanced and really unnecessary.

Qian Qiansui simply stopped research and development in that area and put technology that could be adapted to ancient times on the agenda. With the materials for infrastructure, she could expand her business territory and strengthen the academy's defenses. And with weapons...

This is called being prepared for any eventuality. She may not use it, but she cannot live without it.

As for whether it will be able to match the balance of this cold weapon era, it is not something she can decide. It exists in the system and can be made, so it must be within the controllable range. Besides, she cannot research a more powerful weapon.

"Third senior brother, I leave this to you." The eldest and second senior brothers left the stage and changed into the third and fourth senior brothers. As long as Qian Qiansui has enough skill points, her sect will be endless.

"Don't worry, we are all experienced." The virtual teacher smiled as gently as ever, and this time his outfit gave him the feeling of an otherworldly master.

There was a rustling sound coming from outside the courtyard. Qian Qiansui walked over and pushed the door open. There were many male students hiding outside the door, pushing each other but not daring to come over.

"Didn't they say that we are not allowed to get near this area?" Ever since the Grand Princess's people came, the situation here has become even stricter. There are guards everywhere, just in case someone sneaks in.

"Yes... Master Xu asked us to come." Qian Qiansui was not very familiar with these male students, and they did not look like spies.

"I asked them to come here to ask if they are interested in architecture." The former Mr. Xu, now Mr. Xu, the virtual teacher No. 3 waved cordially to the students outside.

"Who are you?" Qian Qiansui turned his head and asked in confusion.

"Tangguo's architecture is very interesting, and our database is still relatively lacking in this area. These children are very talented. By helping the academy expand, I believe they will become outstanding architects in the future."

Virtual Teacher No. 3 was generous with his praise. The children were confused, but they were good words after all, which made them particularly excited.

"You are too cruel. You are employing child labor, and it's free! You say it so righteously." Qian Qiansui was afraid that if he raised his voice, he would expose the system's sinister intentions.

"It's a win-win situation." The virtual teacher said with pride rather than shame.

Qian Qiansui looked at the group of lambs who were about to be exploited with sympathy, feeling a sense of sympathy.

The research was on the right track, and Qian Qiansui could rest assured. She suddenly felt guilty and went to find Princess Yongle. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered Princess Yongle's yard, she heard someone crying. Then she walked in and saw Princess Yongle standing dejectedly opposite several girls, with no expression on her face.

Is this school bullying? How dare they bully the princess?

"What's going on?" After all, the academy was hers, and Qian Qiansui also wanted to see what was going on.

"Sister Qian..." Princess Yongle raised her head. Even though there were no tears on her face, the helplessness and confusion in her eyes still hurt Qian Qiansui deeply. It was like the expression she had when she looked in the mirror in her previous life, when she had something bad happened and was in debt, not knowing what would happen tomorrow.

"We...we didn't do anything...Madam...we just want to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for help." Seeing Qian Qiansui coming, the girls were panicked. They were all students of the girls' academy. It was not easy to get into the academy, and they didn't want to be expelled from the academy because of misunderstanding.

"Come in and talk." Qian Qiansui entered the inner room, and the palace maids in the room hurried over to pour tea. Princess Yongle sat beside Qian Qiansui in a daze, and the girls did not dare to sit and just stood opposite Qian Qiansui.

"It's not their fault. It's just that our family received an imperial edict today and we were at a loss. When they heard the news, they wanted to ask Her Royal Highness the Princess for advice. We were presumptuous and we will go back and be punished." One of the girls stood up and took all the blame.

"That's not the case. It's obviously..."

"Lily of the Valley is so pitiful..."

"I don't want Lily of the Valley to leave... wuwuwu..."

Before he could even ask many questions, the girl in the room started crying, making Qian Qiansui look like a villain. She pinched her nose and sighed, "Tell me, what decree is worthy of you doing this?"

"It's a marriage. Suzuran is a member of the royal family. She will marry Itami in place of the princess!"

"But Sister Linglan clearly has a fiancé. They grew up together and have a very good relationship. Her fiancé is even defending the country at the border. Why should she suffer this?"

"That's right, there are so many royal daughters and princesses... Ugh!!"

The people around her quickly covered her mouth, saying that if you talk too much, it will be easy to make mistakes.

Qian Qiansui finally understood. She thought the marriage had been put on hold for the time being. After all, they were about to discuss paper trade cooperation. At worst, she could just find a slave girl to pretend to be a princess of the royal family and marry her. However, she didn't expect that she actually found a princess of the royal family, and a princess who was already engaged.

She turned around to look at Yongle, and the child's face was full of guilt.

"They want a daughter from the royal family, so let's give her to them..." Qian Qiansui said in a riddle, trying to reassure everyone present: "Alright, go back, it's going to be alright. Linglan won't marry off either. Get ready, and when your fiancé comes back, it's time for you to get married."

"lady?"

"real or fake?"

Everyone looked at Qian Qiansui in disbelief, even Princess Yongle. She didn't know why her mother would issue this decree, but once this decree was issued, it would absolutely be impossible to change it.

"Of course it's true." After saying that, Qian Qiansui pinched Princess Yongle's face and said, "I still need your help, Princess. I think you won't refuse."

Princess Yongle shook her head vigorously. She didn't want an innocent girl to jump into the fire pit in her place, but she really didn't want to marry far away.

Qian Qiansui smiled mysteriously and did not give a clear answer.

In her heart, she was trying to recall the grand prize of her last mission. It seemed to be called the Rejuvenation Pill. Since innocent people couldn't go for the marriage, then the innocent people would have to go on behalf of everyone else.
