Chapter 182 I Want to Find a Building to Jump Off

Xiao Jingfan glanced at him. As the emperor, he had to worry about such a trivial matter?

Chief Steward Zhou was a considerate man. Seeing that his Majesty had no other intentions, he suggested, "Your Majesty, there are still many empty rooms in Yiran Garden, west of the Yangxin Palace. Before Nongyun Garden is repaired, why not arrange for them to move to Yiran Garden first?"

Yiran Garden is home to all the palace maids serving in the Yangxin Palace. Its layout is similar to that of Nongyun Garden. Because the late emperor was accustomed to handling government affairs in the Yangxin Palace and there were more palace maids serving, Yiran Garden has many more houses than Nongyun Garden. It is most appropriate to move the people from Nongyun Garden there to live temporarily.

Xiao Jingfan's eyes turned slightly. The Yangxin Palace was just within the range of his thoughts, just a few houses on the east side of Yiran Garden.

He nodded happily: "Let's move to Yiran Garden."

Yiran Garden.

People from the Imperial Household Department came and went, and soon the house was cleaned up and all the necessary utensils were purchased.

Zhou Yuande personally allocated the rooms, and everyone moved in with their belongings dug out from the ruins.

"It's good now. Eunuch Zhou has allocated this large room to the three of us. It's not crowded for three people to live in. It will be convenient for us to talk in the future." Yuzhui smiled and sat down on the bed with Moxiang's arm in arm. She reached out and touched the newly made bedding. "This mattress sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs is quite soft."

Moxiang was also happy and said with a smile, "With Eunuch Zhou personally watching over it, how could the people in the Imperial Household Department not do their best?"

"That's right." Yu Zhui nodded and turned to look at Chu Liuzheng who was sitting on the bed on the far left.

She was extremely quiet at this moment, leaning listlessly against the head of the bed, like an eggplant hit by frost.

"What's wrong?" Yu Zhui stood up and walked over, putting his hand on Chu Liuzheng's arm and gently pushing it, "Are you tired?"

"It hurts." Chu Liuzheng groaned, his whole body filled with an air of despair.

[Wow, w ...

[Wow, silver is so lovely, why did I exchange it for banknotes just to make it easier to carry? Now I'm left with only three ounces of silver and 132 copper coins. After working hard for four or five years, I'm back to poverty overnight. Ahhhh!!! Just burn me to death!]

Chu Liuzheng felt heartbroken.

Yu Zhui thought she was really in heartache, and hurriedly said, "Hurry up and lie down. I'll go get the imperial physician."

"Wait!" Moxiang, who knew the inside story, called out to her, "She's not sick, she's just worried about the family fortune she's saved."

Yuzhui was stunned: "Family background?"

Seeing that Chu Liuzheng had no intention of stopping her from continuing, Moxiang said, "Liuzheng saved up all his monthly silver and exchanged it for banknotes, but it was all burned in the fire tonight."

Yuzhui opened his mouth in shock: "All, all gone?"

Moxiang sighed, "The big money is gone, only some small change is left."

Yuzhui felt a pang of pain in his heart just by imagining that all his family fortunes were burned down, and he looked at Chu Liuzheng with great sympathy.

Chu Liuzheng stared at the bed curtains with lifeless eyes.

[Wow! My money! All the hard-earned money I saved, I can’t survive!]

If she could summon ghosts, she would definitely recruit Dong Wu to work and pay back her debt.

Moxiang glanced at her and said to Yuzhui, "Not only that, but also the gifts from the nobles and the fine tea she had stored. They were all burned. All these small things, added together, must be worth several hundred taels of silver."

Several hundred taels!

Yuzhui covered his heart with his hands, feeling the same pain as her, and was so heartbroken that he couldn't breathe.

Chu Liuzheng looked at Moxiang quietly, and Moxiang quickly covered her mouth to indicate that she would not say anything more.

Moxiang had suffered losses, but her savings were all silver, so only 30% to 40% of her family's wealth was lost. Although she felt heartbroken, she could only comfort herself by saying that losing money could prevent disaster.

"I moved all my things out before the fire started. The three of us are about the same size, so you can all wear my clothes and shoes." Yuzhui sat down beside Chu Liuzheng's bed again and patted her. "I happened to have made two new sets of clothes a few days ago. I'll give one to you and Sister Moxiang. Just think of it as a thank you for asking about Xiaoyue for me."

"How can that be?" Chu Liuzheng sat up. "You made new clothes especially for the New Year, and Sister Moxiang and I are wearing them. What are you going to wear?"

Moxiang also said: "No, we can just borrow your old clothes to wear."

"What's new or old? You help me so much every day, what are two new clothes? I'm happier seeing you wearing them." Yu Zhui smiled and reached out to poke Chu Liuzheng's face. "Okay, now you all have new clothes to wear. Stop looking sad and smile."

Chu Liuzheng was so upset by her provocation that he could only smile.

Seeing her cheer up a little, Yuzhui felt relieved and stood up and said, "I'll go see if there's any hot water. The three of us need to take a good shower tonight."

"I'll go with you." Moxiang stood up and looked at Chu Liuzheng with a predictive look, "You're not allowed to go. Just lie still."

Chu Liuzheng, who had just put his feet on the ground: "..."

Moxiang warned her, "The Imperial Hospital will send someone to bring some tranquilizing soup soon. I won't lock the door tightly. If someone knocks, just answer it from inside the room. Don't open the door yourself."

Chu Liuzheng: “…”

She's really not three years old!

But under Moxiang's gaze, she nodded obediently: "I understand."

Yuzhui burst out laughing and went out with Moxiang.

Chu Liuzheng leaned back and carefully counted the heavy losses of his family property in his mind. The more he counted, the more he wanted to die.

I finally understand why those bankrupt tycoons jump off buildings out of frustration. I really want to find a building to jump off from right now.

She rolled around on the bed for a moment with her hands raised, burying her face in the pillow and yelling in her mind.

Ahh ...

[Woo woo woo woo!!]

【ah! ! ! 】

【嘤!!! ！ ！】

Ahh ...

Xiao Jingfan, whose ears were pierced by the devilish sound, broke a brush. After enduring for a moment, he still couldn't bear it anymore, so he stood up and fled out of the study at a flying speed.

Zhou Yuande, who was waiting at the door, was surprised. Why did he come out today without being urged?

It was not until Xiao Jingfan walked out of the door of the Yangxin Palace that the voice that was driving him crazy completely disappeared.

He exhaled heavily and took a tentative step back.

The devilish sound came again, startling him so much that he immediately retracted his foot.

Manager Zhou looked at the ground and found that it was not hot.

Xiao Jingfan, who didn't want to listen to someone going crazy, started circling in front of the entrance of the Yangxin Palace. Zhou Yuande didn't know what he was going to do, so he just watched him walk in circles.

A quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jingfan stopped and took a tentative step towards the Yangxin Palace.

There is silence in my ears.

Good, it’s quiet now.

He stepped over the threshold and washed and went to bed with the help of the palace servants.

Then… he had just fallen asleep when his heart howled and he woke up.

The inner voice disappeared and he continued to sleep, but the inner voice began to howl again and he was woken up again.

The voice in his heart disappeared and he fell asleep again. The voice in his heart howled again and woke him up again, as if it was howling at the place where he fell asleep.

Is this ever going to end?

Xiao Jingfan, who was woken up again, was so angry that he threw the quilt and sat up, startling Zhou Yuande who was leaning against the end of the bed to keep watch.

He rubbed his eyes and stood up. "Your Majesty, did you wake up from your dream?"

Xiao Jingfan, who didn't even have the chance to dream, said angrily, "Bring me some strong tea!"

He won't sleep tonight, let's see who can last longer!

Xiao Jingfan relied on strong tea to stay awake and stayed up for half the night. His face was as dark as a demon, which made Manager Zhou tremble with fear.

Why is there no voice at all?!

What's the point of the strong tea he drinks?

Was that woman born to be his nemesis?

He waved towards Zhou Yuande with a sullen face: "Come closer."
