Chapter 41 How miserable! Earning their money and sleeping in their bed?

[Oh my god! Second Uncle Wang went up and shot left and right! ]

[He is still strong even when he is old. Does he seem to know that the new princess is cheating on him? ]

[Wait, I was wondering why my brother and nephew would bring a large group of young officials here, could it be to help the second uncle catch the adulterer? ! ]

Young courtiers: ...

No, no, no, they just come here to watch and see the magical powers.

Although the main course hasn't been served yet, they are already very satisfied.

The second uncle became angrier and angrier as he thought about it. He had been so good to the second prince and had taken care of him in every way at the clan house, but he never expected that his care would lead to such a result.

He pointed at the second prince and said angrily, "How dare you do such a shameless thing and cause unrest in my house. Thirty lashes and five months in prison. Do you have anything else to say?"

System: [I have to make an excuse here. It is true that he was cuckolded, but wasn’t it because of him that the Second Prince’s mansion regained its peace?]

The Second Uncle felt embarrassed when he recalled his ferocious and coquettish wife, but when he heard someone in the crowd chuckle, he immediately glared at the other person.

The young courtiers avoided his sight, and even the emperor looked away slightly.

The second prince clenched his fists, suddenly knelt down and kowtowed, saying: "I am sorry to my second grandfather, I admit my fault, I accept this crime!"

Crowd: !!!

No one expected that the second prince would plead guilty so quickly.

The Minister of War whispered, "Although he spread rumors that I was dead, I have to admit that he was decisive and magnanimous in admitting his mistakes."

Yu Hongyu, who was tricked the most, was dissatisfied and whispered, "That's because he can probably hear it, too."

The Minister of Rites said: "Just because you can hear it doesn't mean you can't find excuses to lie. This courage to take full responsibility is worth learning from for many people."

The emperor glanced at the prince and said, "I'll leave the investigation of where the silver is hidden to you."

The prince nodded.

Yuanruan was also very happy to hear this and immediately said to the system:

[Great! Wait for my nephew to find out where the gold is hidden. My mission to help the country is about to be completed. Tong'er, can you see where it is?]

The second prince, who was slowly getting up, was extremely anxious. He had already admitted his guilt, so why was the other party still talking?

He suddenly staggered and shouted, "Father! I have something important to say!"

But no one paid any attention to him.

Everyone's attention was on Yuanruan, while Yuanruan was paying attention to the system.

System: [Let me see. Where did the Second Prince keep the wealth he had collected in recent years? ]

"Ah. Ah!" The second prince's body suddenly tilted and hit the pillar next to him. Blood immediately gushed out of his forehead. This exaggerated and tragic scene scared everyone.

The young court officials came forward one after another, and the angry Second Uncle Prince also squatted down to check the situation.

Even Yuan Ruan, who was lying on the emperor's shoulder, leaned forward to look.

However, the system was not disrupted.

[Hiss! This second prince actually keeps a large number of gigolos. ]

Everyone: ???

Cowherd?

Does the Second Prince have a lot of oxen to keep? Is there anything surprising about this?

Yuan Ruan: [Ah? Why does he keep a cowherd? ]

System: [Used to please the wives of officials of the Great Xia Dynasty! ]

The emperor almost fell down.

The Crown Prince had just helped the Second Prince up when he loosened his hand and let the Second Prince sit back down with a "click".

The young courtiers who had been staying out of the matter and happily enjoying the royal melon: !!!

They couldn't believe their ears at first, and almost screamed when they realized what was happening!

What the hell!

The second prince actually found a group of wild men to seduce their wives? !

The Minister of Revenue could not help but rush forward, and yelled, "You, you, you... Isn't it enough that you impersonated me to marry a concubine? You even went out to find a bunch of wild men to seduce my wife? If it weren't for the little... cough, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince telling you, how long would you want to keep messing around! You, you want our family to be destroyed?!"

Prince:?

Good guy, this time the blame for the intelligence fell on him.

The young court officials nearby all felt the same way. They were heartbroken when they heard it and shed tears when they saw it.

Zuo Zhongyun even stepped forward and held Yu Hongyu, whispering: "Sir, calm down. He is a prince after all, don't bring trouble upon yourself."

The Minister of Revenue turned his head and couldn't help but tear up: "You don't have a wife, you don't understand. I, I have it so hard."

This was the first time Zuo Zhongyun felt so fortunate. He had been in mourning for his father for three years and had not had the chance to get married.

Although it's a bit unkind, it feels so good to eat other people's melons.

At this moment, the voice in my heart echoed again:

Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, why would the Second Prince do this?]

System: [The Second Prince's main goal is to make money. He needs to know the detailed information of Daxia officials, so he lets these cowherds seduce the officials' wives and concubines, thereby obtaining detailed information about the officials, and then uses this information to arm the swindlers, so that the swindlers can successfully deceive the daughters of those wealthy businessmen. For example, for some unmarried officials in the court, he would send cowherds to seduce their mothers and aunts.]

Crowd: !!!

If you want to gather intelligence, just do it properly! Using such means is too despicable!

Zuo Zhongyun, who was just thankful that he had not married, said: …

No, I don't think so.

Yuan Ruan: [But there is still something wrong! Although Daxia has an open-minded society and men, women, old and young can go out to play, if a strange man frequently enters and leaves one's house, it will always arouse vigilance.]

System: [You are right! But you forgot about the Liyuan Opera Troupe. The rich families in the capital usually invite the opera troupe to perform in their homes. Those cowherds are hidden among them.]

The other young court officials were confused: they began to wonder how many times a year their family hired opera troupes.

The Minister of War suddenly paused and whispered in surprise: "My wife seems to never invite a troupe to perform in her mansion."

Seeing the other party's happy expression, the Minister of Revenue poured cold water on him with a resentful look: "Well. She often goes to the theater with my wife."

The Minister of War's smile froze instantly.

Zuo Zhongyun seemed to be struck by lightning. His mother really liked watching operas in the past two years and often invited opera troupes to the mansion. Could it be that his mother also participated...

Yuan Ruan didn't pay attention to the court officials' whispers, she thought it was outrageous: [Even the storybook wouldn't dare to write like this! Wow, how come this Zuo Zhongyun suddenly jumped over and shouted at the second prince to fight and kill him! ]

Zuo Zhongyun rushed over with a red face. He was a civil servant and was not in good health, but the Second Prince, who had been on the battlefield, was drunk.

The two of them fought back and forth.

Yuan Ruan: [Hiss, the other officials didn't even stop, I even saw someone secretly cheering! ]

As soon as he finished speaking, the Minister of War, who was secretly giving the Second Prince a belt, turned his head and found that the Minister of Revenue was slowly retracting his step.

Yuan Ruan: [Tong'er, I understand. Today, my elder brother and nephew found out something wrong. We didn't accompany Second Uncle Wang to catch an adulterer. We came together to catch an adulterer! How miserable! My love rival is right under my nose. I sleep with their women, sleep in their bed, and even make money from them.]

Young officials: ...

It’s heartbreaking!

Can you please stop thinking like that? It really makes me sad.

Yuanruan: [Tong'er, can you see where he hid the money? ! ]

System: [Of course.]

The emperor and the prince stopped watching the farce and looked at Yuan Ruan.

When the Second Prince heard this, he was caught off guard and punched in the face by Zuo Zhongyun.

But he did not resist and clenched his fists.

It's over! I'm going to be killed in one fell swoop.
