The people in the silver shop couldn't help but start whispering among themselves.
Zhang Xiaoying was aware of the Zhu family.
The Zhu family had once produced a favored concubine of the late emperor. Although they didn't rank highly among the noble families of the capital, their ability to engage in commerce and amass wealth made them quite arrogant within the city.
Even after the favored concubine had passed away, it didn't prevent them from looking down on others with disdain.
After all, every year the Zhu family contributed a large sum of money to the National Treasury, and as long as they didn't commit any heinous crimes, Emperor Mingjing wouldn't easily punish them.
The Zhu family maintained an ambiguous relationship with every prince except Yu Yang.
Now that Yu Yang had been designated as Crown Prince, he was certainly intending to settle scores with the Zhu family.
