"Since my husband is concerned about the reputation of the entire Yangzhou city, I can't say anything." Yuan Zhao was as considerate as ever, which slightly dispelled some of Wei Shaoqing's doubts.
But she showed some embarrassment on her face. "But these things were either tributes from fiefdoms or gifts from my father and my brother. The list in Lord Zhao's hand contains all the items lost in the warehouse. We must recover every single one of them."
Yuan Zhao left the main hall without looking back after saying this.
Gan Tang Biyun returned to Fengqiyuan with her, closed the door, and there was joy on her face.
"Your Highness, didn't you see the Prince Consort's face turn as red as pig liver when we left?"
Yuan Zhao finally gave Wei Shaoqing a warning. If he wanted to keep Bai Ruyue, he had to find a way to collect all these things.
"This time, Xingyu Lane might be in trouble."
She wanted to see what Wei Shaoqing's financial resources were like!
Yuan Zhizhi in the inner room had just woken up. She felt very sleepy after using the bracelet last night and had been snoring all day.
Hearing Gan Tang's words, she immediately danced her hands excitedly.
[Wow wow wow wow! What's up, Fat Si?! What happened that I didn't see with my own eyes?!]
Yuan Zhao walked forward and pinched his little daughter's face lovingly.
Gan Tang, who was standing by, saw Yuan Zhizhi and sighed, "The young lady has changed every day since she returned to Fengqiyuan. Her complexion has become much rosier these past few days."
Yuan Zhao also looked at his daughter. She was so skinny when he brought her back from the snow that day, but in just a few days, the little girl had already shown some signs of becoming rounder, and she looked so adorable.
It felt much heavier and she could hardly hold it anymore.
And these days, her biological father has never come to see her once.
Instead, he praised his illegitimate son highly. I'm afraid now he is anxious to go back and coax his illegitimate daughter!
Yuan Zhao's eyes dimmed slightly, and he immediately asked, "How's things going at Songyan Hall?"
"Madame Cui has finished her punishment and has gone back."
Yuan Zhao picked up his little daughter, bent down and kissed her, and Yuan Zhizhi giggled.
"I think the old lady is almost recovered, and she should be informed about the theft in the warehouse."
"After all, the old lady is still in charge now, so she should think of a way to deal with the things lost in the warehouse."
Gan Tang smiled knowingly: "Yes, Your Highness, I will report the whole story to the old lady."
Fengqiyuan was calm and peaceful.
The old lady of Songyan Hall dragged her sick body out of bed and hurried to Xingyu Lane.
"Yuan Zhao is such a vicious woman! She has hurt my son so badly!" As soon as she arrived at Xingyu Lane, the old lady hugged Wei Jiaojiao and cried bitterly.
Wei Shaoqing had just taken Bai Ruyue out of the government prison.
Bai Ruoyue was crying like a pear blossom in the rain, and Wei Shaoqing also had a gloomy face.
This time, he used his position as prefect to pressure everyone and was finally able to release the person. Before leaving, Zhao Ping reminded himself to make sure that the Bai family returned all the lost items.
What a thing! A fifth-rank official dares to go against me!
But he calmed down, fearing that this time he would be caught by those restless people below.
But then he thought again, he has been in control of Yangzhou for many years, and they dare not do anything to him!
Xingyuxiang was in a state of chaos as Bai Ruyue nestled in Wei Shaoqing's arms, biting her lower lip and asking tenderly, "My dear, what should we do now?"
Wei Shaoqing was annoyed by the continuous crying and shouted, "Stop crying!"
The old lady, Bai Ruyue, and Wei Jiaojiao all paused and stopped crying.
Bai Ruyue curled her lips. Qinglang had never looked at them like this before.
Perhaps realizing he was wrong, Wei Shaoqing finally raised his head and said in a gentle voice, "The most important thing now is to gather all those things and return them. Let's all sort out what we have and we should be able to find them."
When these words were spoken, the old lady and Bai Ruyue were both stunned.
Bai Ruyue glanced at the old lady, and she said, "But we didn't steal anything from this warehouse..."
"Yeah..." Bai Ruyue also agreed. Her heart was already bleeding after carrying away those dozen boxes of things. Why did she want them to compensate for the remaining things now?
"I know." Wei Shaoqing sighed. He was also wondering where all the things in the warehouse had gone.
But now that something has been found in Xingyu Lane, there is no way to argue and I can only swallow my anger.
"I will continue to investigate this matter, but not openly." Wei Shaoqing embraced Bai Ruyue, "The most important thing now is to cover up the situation openly so that we can get you and the children out."
After hearing this, the old lady thought about it and finally nodded.
"Whatever, we're just collecting it back. It will eventually be put into the Wei Mansion's warehouse. It's still ours, just changing hands."
Wei Shaoqing and the old lady had both said so. Bai Ruyue could only nod with a sob. She looked aggrieved: "Qinglang, it's not a solution for us to keep doing this. Look at this time, it was really close..."
Speaking of this, Wei Shaoqing's expression, which had softened slightly, turned ugly again.
"We'll think of a solution after this storm is over." He already had so much to do today that he really couldn't spare the energy to think about other things.
Wei Shaoqing returned to the prefectural government first, and the old lady then said viciously, "It's all because of that bitch who's so domineering. She relies on her status as a princess to not let concubines in!"
She hugged Wei Jiaojiao tightly in her arms: "My dear daughter, she can't enjoy the happiness with grandma... And grandma's darling grandson can only go to Beijing to study by himself."
"God damn it, Yuan Zhao! Why did you marry such a vicious woman? And the children she gave birth to are all useless!"
