The Jun family, the Edward family (the royal family), and the Fujiwara family have an oath.
For the sake of the kingdom's stability, any conflicts among the three families must be resolved openly and fairly, or by dueling in the arena.
The three major families are strictly prohibited from private assassinations. If the other party catches evidence, the other two families can join forces to attack.
Of course, this kind of agreement is only effective for upright people like the Jun family. If you dig deeper, you can dig up a lot of negative information about both the royal family and the Fujiwara family.
But for the stability of the kingdom, the Jun family turned a blind eye to some things and pretended to know nothing.
But this time, the Fujiwara family touched the Jun family's reverse scale. After seeing the assassins they sent out disappeared, they destroyed all the evidence. Jun Wansheng could only vent his anger on the Fujiwara family under the pretext of investigating the matter.
The autumn afternoon sun was not too hot, so Yi placed her daughter in the yard to bask in the sun, while Dongyue reported the recent income and expenditure of each shop beside her.
No one noticed when a black cat appeared on the raised wall.
The black cat came every day, stared at Jun Shutong for a while, then disappeared over the wall, and came back after a few days, repeating the cycle.
Listening to the conversation between Yi and Dongyue, Jun Shutong couldn't help but ask the system:
[System, is my mother very rich, like the noble ladies in the storybooks who spend money lavishly?]
System: [Your mother is indeed wealthy. She owns a lot of real estate, fertile land, restaurants, and cloth shops. The cloth shops, in particular, are spread across almost every province in the kingdom, and are an important source of income for the Jun family.]
[But your mother has to spend five million every year to support the army.]
Jun Shutong was a little confused: [Why? Isn't raising an army the country's responsibility? Why should my mother pay for it?]
System: [This has to do with your emperor. He's wary of the Jun family, but he wants them to help him expand his territory. He doesn't want your father's soldiers to grow, so he only allocates 10 million per year.]
"But ten million is not enough to feed an army of four hundred thousand. If you buy food, you can't buy weapons. How could your father let his soldiers go hungry and cold? And certainly not let them fight on the battlefield with inferior weapons?"
Your father requested it many times, but was always rejected by the Emperor. The Emperor said that soldiers who could not endure hardship were disloyal to the kingdom. In addition, because the Fujiwara family controlled the kingdom's finances, the payment of these ten million was delayed every year. Your father had no choice but to ask your mother for help. In fact, your father was also helpless.
Jun Shutong was so angry that he couldn't help but clench his fists: "Damn the Fujiwara family, and this bastard emperor, is he sick? He wants the horse to run without eating grass, how can such a good thing happen in the world? I really want to slap him twice, I'm so angry."
[Then again, my mother is a big boss, and I am her daughter. What belongs to her is mine, and what belongs to me is mine.]
[I'm also a small rich woman, hehehe. ]
System: How else can it be calculated? You are truly a good daughter to your mother.
Yi raised her eyebrows sharply. Why is the little guy so obsessed with money? In this respect, he is really like her.
How could she know that Jun Shutong had saved a nine-digit sum by living frugally in her previous life, but she died at the age of 24 before she could enjoy it. For her, the more money, the better.
She doesn't want to experience the suffering she went through in her previous life again in this one.
In this life, she just wants to lie down, sleep until she wakes up naturally every day, eat and drink for free and be supported by others, and forget about studying and making money.
At this time, Xia Xue came to report: "Madam, the nanny who is here to measure the young lady's size is here."
Yi put down the account book, picked up her daughter and said, "Tongtong, let's go get new clothes tailored, okay?"
Jun Shutong was so happy that she wanted to clap her hands. Which girl doesn’t like new clothes?
[Okay, okay!]
I want a pretty little skirt, and hopefully a few more pairs of pants. I don't want to wear open-crotch pants anymore.
【puff】
Yi almost laughed out loud. What else should babies wear if not open-crotch pants?
However, seeing that she was trying her best to refuse, Yi still asked the nanny to make her a few new pairs of pants and a few little skirts.
It is said that babies change every day. Half a month later, Jun Shutong had grown a lot. His skin was no longer wrinkled. His originally yellowish skin gradually turned white, and his bright big eyes became more lively.
Her two brothers knew that she was bored, so every day after school they would tell her about the latest news in the academy.
Jun Chengan: "Sister, the teacher praised me today."
Jun Shutong stared at his second brother curiously, his big eyes flickering, and he took his thumb, which was covered with saliva, out of his mouth:
【Why do I praise you? How do I praise you? Please elaborate. 】
"Today the teacher asked us who is the prettiest family member. I said it's you, my sister. You are the prettiest."
"Then the master said that I had an amazing brain and was a good candidate for martial arts training. It would be a waste of talent to keep me in the academy."
In the little fat boy’s heart, his sister now comes first and his mother comes second.
Jun Shutong: [This teacher's words are so strange. I'm good-looking, and my second brother is not wrong, but why does he want my second brother to practice martial arts? Practicing martial arts is so hard. Don't go, second brother. He's trying to trick you.]
Jun Chengan nodded: "Sister, you must also feel that practicing martial arts is hard. I will listen to you and not go."
Jun Fengting held his forehead with his hand: [Is this what you mean, Master? You two really can't understand what I'm saying?]
The system sighed: People say that a woman becomes stupid for three years after pregnancy, but you have become stupid after only half a month of rebirth. It must be your bad luck to have a host like this.
In fact, due to the influence of the power of reincarnation, Jun Shutong's mind is gradually returning to its original state, and she is gradually forgetting many things...
[System, what are those two girls talking about outside the window? They look so happy.]
In the past half month, Jun Shutong has been sleeping, drinking milk, and chatting gossip with the system every day. There is no other way. Ever since the last assassination, the Duke's Mansion has been on high alert. Only a few fixed maids can enter the backyard, and the information the system can obtain is also very limited.
