Chapter 1408 Being Robbed of Luck by the Reborn Stepsister 168 Understanding the Truth
Some people say that the old lady of Zhen Guogong's mansion got rich after going to Sanjiang, because the Duke originally buried the treasure there, and Mrs. Xiao just went to dig it back.

But someone immediately retorted, saying that they have lived so poorly for the past 20 years, and they really have treasures, why didn't they dig them out earlier?
Some people say that when Mrs. Xiao went to Sanjiang this time, she met an old subordinate who gave her a lot of treasures.

Others said that Mrs. Xiao found a relative in Sanjiang, and the treasure belonged to that relative.As for who this relative is, no one can find out because the Zhen Guo government's secrecy measures are too good.

All of a sudden, the entire capital was filled with rumors about the Duke of Zhenguo's mansion, and finally Mrs. Xiao came back from Sanjiang with ten carriages worth of gold, silver and jewels, as well as three hundred thousand-mile horses.

This rumor shocked even the emperor.

However, what the emperor was interested in was that Mrs. Xiao actually brought back dozens of fine horses.

He announced Xiao Zhengshu into the palace, and after a chatter, he asked him: "Is Lingtang safe?"

Xiao Zhengshu naturally replied gratefully: "His Majesty is concerned, my mother is still in good health."

It was indeed good, she clearly said that she would explain her sister's affairs to him when she wanted to go home, but unfortunately, after she got home, she suddenly felt that she was about to break through, and then closed herself.

Moreover, because Ruyue gave her a secluded valley pill that lasted for a month, and helped her set up a formation, after his mother retreated, he couldn't even enter her Songyan Hall.

It's been several days and it still hasn't come out.

He had to ask the niece to find out the truth of the matter.

However, the mother's health is really good, otherwise, she would not be able to retreat and break through.

It's just that she just came home here, and people from all walks of life wanted to inquire about the news, but her mother closed her door, shut him out, dealt with various forces, and kept clarifying all kinds of rumors.

The emperor had a smile on his face: "I heard that Lingtang went to Sanjiang this time and brought back the treasure of ten carriages?"

Xiao Zhengshu smiled wryly: "There is no treasure, it's just the luggage brought by my sister's daughter when she moved."

"Your sister? Didn't your sister die in the war 15 years ago? Why did she give birth to a daughter?"

Xiao Zhengshu had no choice but to tell Xiao Baiyu that he did not die back then, but lived in Wujia Village with a child and lost his memory. He was met by Wu Tiansheng and married back home. However, due to his poor health, he gave birth to a daughter and died. .The daughter grew up and entered the Valley of Medicine Kings. After she graduated from the teacher, she dreamed that her mother told her that she was not of the blood of the witch family and asked her to go to Sanjiang to find her relatives. She went to buy a house from a Yaman, and happened to buy the yard that the Xiao family sold for the preparation of the funeral. When Mrs. Xiao arrived, she happened to meet at the gate and so on, and she said it all.

When the emperor heard that Mrs. Xiao was going to pay homage to the soldiers who died in the Sanjiang Battle, including the old man and his two sons, she actually asked people to sell the house first so that they could get money to do things. He couldn't help being very ashamed.

He also knew about the issue of pensions for the dead soldiers back then. Years of wars had emptied the national treasury, and too many people died in the Sanjiang War. .At that time, Mrs. Xiao took out all the family wealth, rewards and confiscations, and distributed them as pensions.

In addition to salary, military commanders' income is the rewards from the battlefield, which is a custom, and basically they turn a blind eye.
