Chapter 1119: Rich

The effect was unexpectedly good. The young heir fell in love with it as soon as he started to work on it. Soon, he became engrossed and focused on the jigsaw.

Every time a complete picture was put together, he would be so happy for half a day.

Auntie Zhu and the others were very happy to see this. They felt that their Young Master was very smart. He could even find so many pieces and put them together.

When the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord of Anping heard about this, she felt glad seeing the puzzles – who said that her son was stupid? If he was, he would not have been able to come up with such a difficult puzzle.

Delighted, the Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord asked some more people to make more exquisite jigsaws. She even made two sets of white jade with thinly-polished gemstones to give to Qiao Xuan.

That was indeed very valuable.

The puzzle gradually spread among the prefectures and was liked by countless children, becoming popular in the whole upper-cla.s.s society.

Later, the news spread among the commoners, and many businessmen saw the business opportunity and started making them.

The ingredients were easy to get, and the civilians did not care if the workmanship was rough, as long as it was fun.

The Princess Consort of the Prefecture Lord of Anping was even happier – Madame Shao was the first one to take her son to have fun, and everyone else was imitating her son.

Qiao Xuan had intended to make some money with this, but when she realized that it was already being copied, she dropped the idea.

They had no place to talk about copyrights at that period of time.

And the news that Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan got involved with Lord Anping Manor soon spread. Everyone sighed emotionally – they were so lucky!

Madame Su, who had asked Qiao Xuan to visit the Fayun Temple the other day, felt annoyed.

Those madams who had no idea what was going on were just there to keep the guests company. They felt jealous and emotional, but that was all after a few words.

Madame Su and the others were there with a purpose. They took Qiao Xuan to the back mountain of the temple, thinking that the mission would be completed smoothly, so Qiao Xuan would have no way to defend herself. But it turned out that she was totally fine and even gained favor with the Lord Anping Manor by a freak combination of factors.

Everyone knew that the Young Master of the Prefecture Lord had saved the Emperor’s life.

The Emperor believed that only the Crown Prince could hold a higher position in his heart.

If the couple from the Prefecture Lord of Anping said a thing or two, the Emperor would definitely agree.

Forget about the Emperor, when the new Emperor took over the throne, he would have to support Lord Anping Manor and the young heir for the rest of his life; otherwise, he would be considered unfilial.

This life-saving favor was even more valuable than a death-exemption card.

They could easily defend Qiao Xuan and Shao Yunduan.

The Qiao Family felt bitter too.

Madame Lady Qiao and the others did not utter a sound. They felt that they had been slapped in the face.

Even Madame Qiao, who had always thought that she was better than Shao Yunduan and Qiao Xuan, felt regretful.

She already regretted when Qiao Xuan cured the peony that the Emperor had entrusted to his mother, and she couldn’t help but wonder if she would have been able to use this favor if they had not broken off the relationship.

If she begged the Prefecture Lord of Anping to put in a good word for the Emperor, the Qiao Family might have regained their t.i.tle!
