The Deposed Empress and Her New Husband (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 46
In response to Ikar’s question, Drhan handed over the documents he’d been holding and replied.
“The documents list the name of the head of the southeastern trading company.”
At first, Ikar had assumed Baron Shavan sent the gift to win Renev’s heart.
But something about it felt off.
“Shall we investigate further?”
“Do so.”
“Your Majesty, may I ask why you’re taking an interest in Baron Shavan? Has something suspicious occurred?”
Vane spoke with a fierce glint in his eyes, as if ready to draw his sword and charge out at any moment.
Unlike in the past, Vaschker—like other empires—had come to place greater importance on wealth.
Naturally, nobles had begun secretly amassing fortunes through tax evasion and other means, hidden from the Emperor.
This carried the potential to become a serious problem later.
After all, with enough wealth, they could expand their private armies—and eventually even rise against the Imperial House.
“We’d best look into this first. There might be someone else pulling the strings.”
On the surface, the one who sent the gift to Renev was Baron Shavan.
If the sale of noble titles were exposed, both the seller and the buyer would be held accountable.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
