Chapter 15 These are my personal properties

The atmosphere in the dining room froze for a moment.

Jiang Ruo looked at Butler Lin who was covering for Xiao Chengjin, and smiled with her eyes curved.

"Butler Lin, if the prince is truly unique, it doesn't matter. I will voluntarily give up the position of princess."

Look how generous I am.

At this moment, Jiang Ruo had the mentality of a spectator.

Housekeeper Lin looked at his princess who seemed to "see through everything" and scratched his head anxiously, not knowing how to explain for a moment.

what to do?

How should he argue for the prince?

Two years ago, some fools who didn't know how to live or die always coveted his prince's beauty and would risk their lives to throw themselves into his arms.

In order to stop those evil women from having such plans, the prince had people spread the rumor that he had a "hidden illness".

Now, the prince is lying there unable to move. Even if he doesn’t have a “hidden illness”, there is no way to prove it!

My Lord, let you do it!

Should!

Steward Lin grew angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and finally, he feebly defended himself, "Princess, it's really not what you think. The prince simply hasn't met a woman he likes."

When the prince wakes up, let him prove it himself!

No one can help him with this!

Jiang Ruo waved her hands, too lazy to listen to Steward Lin's explanation, "Go away! I understand!"

Explanation is covering up, and covering up is... pretty much the same.

This dog servant is really not considerate enough and can't even guess the master's little thoughts.

Yes, how smart can a servant be if he can dry out his master?

Alas, Xiao Chengjin is so pitiful, raising such a bunch of useless people!

After Steward Lin left, Dongxue walked in with a happy face, "Princess, someone has come from the palace. The Queen has sent someone to bring you a piece of purple Shu brocade."

"Really, that's great."

Jiang Ruo looked happy and walked towards the hall with big strides.

In the hall, Fang Ruo, who was sent by the Queen, quietly looked at everything in Prince An's Mansion.

The Prince An’s Mansion is indeed magnificent!

It is said that the late emperor had ordered the construction of this mansion before His Royal Highness Prince An was born.

At that time, the late emperor also declared that whether it was a prince or a princess in Concubine Xi's belly, they deserved the best.

Concubine Xi and her son were both favored by the late emperor.

However, this favor was short-lived.

Jiang Ruo came to the hall and saw Fang Ruo standing there in deep thought.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "Fang Ruo? It's you!"

Fang Ruo withdrew her thoughts and bowed with the other two palace maids, "This servant greets Princess An."

Jiang Ruo sat in the main seat, "Thank you Fangruo for coming here in person, sit down and rest for a while!"

Fang Ruo was very proud of being coaxed by Jiang Ruo, but she did not show it on her face, "I dare not."

She pointed at the Shu brocade held by the palace maid and said, "Princess An, this is the Shu brocade that the Empress sent me to bring you."

"Look!" Jiang Ruo acted like the mistress of the house.

Dongxue took out a large and two small purses that she had prepared and stuffed them into the three people's pockets.

Fangruo squeezed the silver ingot in her purse and felt very happy.

Unexpectedly, Princess An is not that petty person.

After completing the mission and receiving the reward, Fangruo happily returned to the palace with two palace maids.

In full view of everyone, Jiang Ruo picked up the Shu brocade and went back to the yard.

She wanted to show off to Xiao Chengjin. She wanted to tell Xiao Chengjin that the reward she received for entering the palace today was her personal property.

The moment the door opened, Xiao Chengjin knew that Jiang Ruo was back.

At this moment, he was actually not that angry anymore.

He even had some expectations in his heart...

He hoped that this woman who always made him angry would talk to him more.

But he won't admit it.

Jiang Ruo sat cross-legged on the small couch, took out the jade ruyi and the Shu brocade from the space and placed them in front of him.

He muttered to himself, "Xiao Chengjin, this jade ruyi and this piece of Shu brocade are my errand fees for visiting the palace to pay my respects and serve tea."

"We are only married in name only. These are my personal property and have nothing to do with you!"

Anyway, she has already reported it, so it is his business whether he hears it or not.

Xiao Chengjin: Huh~ nominal husband and wife?

Once you enter the Prince An’s Mansion, he has the final say on whether you are a human or a ghost!

"You know what, that old witch, the Queen Mother, and the evil Queen are quite generous. Although I was in a very bad mood when serving tea, I will forgive them for these things."

Xiao Chengjin: This woman is so obsessed with money. Is she short of money in the Prime Minister's Mansion?

Yes, that Pei from the Prime Minister's Mansion is not an easy person to deal with either.

Jiang Ruo rested one hand on her chin, the other stroking the Shu brocade beneath her hand, and sighed with emotion, "Actually, I'm not short of money right now. I just simply like money. The more the better."

Xiao Chengjin: That’s because we were short of money before.

"That dog emperor is a bad person. He gave me a verbal check and wanted me to work for him."

"Still trying to trick me!"

"Ugh, no way."

When Xiao Chengjin heard this, he felt a joy he had never felt before.

This woman is wild and arrogant, but inexplicably, uh... cute!

Jiang Ruo muttered to herself for a while, then put the jade ruyi and Shu brocade in front of her into her space.

"Take a nap first, and then familiarize yourself with the layout of the palace when you wake up."

"Oh! Let's enjoy a life of luxury."

Perhaps because she was tired from running in the morning, Jiang Ruo lay down on the small couch and fell asleep quickly.

Hearing the sound of steady breathing next to his ears, Xiao Chengjin's heart softened.

He inexplicably developed a feeling of peace and tranquility, and gradually fell asleep.

————

Prime Minister's Mansion.

Property was lost, Mrs. Pei fell ill, and the Prime Minister's Mansion was suddenly plunged into gloom.

Prime Minister Jiang looked at the empty warehouse and felt very annoyed.

If you don’t manage the household, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are.

He suddenly realized that without Nangong Li's help, even though he was in a high position now, he was still a poor prime minister with nothing but appearance.

So, what on earth has he been so noble for all these years?

Now, he puts all his hopes on the day Jiang Ruo returns home.

Even Jiang Yunyao lost interest in hanging out with her sisters. After all, she didn't have much pocket money left.

Only now did she understand that all the family assets in the mansion were left by Jiang Ruo's mother.

Without these assets, the Prime Minister's Mansion is actually no different from an ordinary family.

Without money, how could the family support its expenses? So, her mother decided to sell some servants.

Fortunately, her small treasury was not stolen by thieves.

At this moment, Jiang Yunyao suddenly felt some complaints.

In the past, many officials secretly gave money and gifts to her father to gain connections.

However, her father always maintained an upright and honest character and would not accept flattery from anyone.

Now, he must be regretting it in his heart!
