"The Crown Prince gave Dao Xuzi's only promise to Empress Yunnuan to me. I can't be insincere, right?" Gu Qingheng smiled, "Now it seems it's worth it." His wife actually became Dao Xuzi's apprentice, just for that, those three mines weren't given away in vain.
"But will Grandfather be willing?"
"Grandfather was heartbroken by my mother's death back then, but my mother died of illness. There's no way to prove the Gu Family killed her, yet the Gu Family continued to rise in power..." Gu Qingheng sighed, "Actually, Grandfather's ambitions remained unfulfilled. My uncles are indeed talented, yet..." Yet their talents cannot be displayed, which is very stifling.
"War requires Silver, and even more iron." Gu Qingheng sighed, "I'm very conflicted actually, not knowing whether to bring Grandfather and my uncles back into the fold."
"What if..." Yang Ruxin puckered her lips for a moment, "What if we find an iron mine?"
