Concubine Jing felt that time seemed to be running out, as if she was the one who was rushing the time.
Ye Xiaoxiao saw her concerns and immediately said with a smile.
"Don't worry, Toffee. They are so happy."
"Besides, your Majesty and I will be leaving soon, so time is tight. I think they already know what's going on."
When Concubine Jing heard this, she didn't know what to say.
In the evening, Concubine Jing held a small family dinner in her own bedroom.
In order to show their respect for Shangguan Ruowei, the Qin family even invited the old Duke into the palace.
Ye Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised when she saw the old Duke, but she was relieved immediately.
The Qin family has only two children, Qin Lei and Qin Xue. As an old and established family, Qin Lei's marriage is naturally a big event for the Qin family.
Concubine Jing did not expect that the old Duke would follow her into the palace. After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, she went straight to the point.
"My Lord, the Qin family's pedigree is beyond words, but I've had very little contact with Young Master Qin, so I don't know..."
When the old Duke heard this, he immediately made the promise, and he looked like he was almost patting his chest.
"Don't worry, Concubine. According to the Qin family motto, a man can only take a concubine if he is 40 and has no children. If he has children, they will be together for life."
Concubine Jing glanced at Shangguan Ruowei, then opened her mouth, wanting to say something but didn't say it.
[Haha, Concubine Jing actually wanted to ask if Shangguan Ruowei was still childless at the age of forty, would Qin Lei really take a concubine?]
【Then, she convinced herself again.】
If she said she couldn't have children at 40, she probably really couldn't. We couldn't let her have no descendants.
[I never thought that Concubine Jing, who usually looks so serious, actually has such a lovely side.]
Ye Xiaoxiao sat aside and listened boredly, and then she inadvertently read Concubine Jing's thoughts.
But she didn't know that the old Duke and Qin Chuan could hear her thoughts.
At this moment, the two of them were almost unable to move because of the devilish laughter in her heart.
In order to stop himself from laughing, Qin Chuan pinched his thigh hard.
Shangguan Lingyun noticed it keenly, so he moved closer to Ye Xiaoxiao.
Qin Chuan managed to suppress his laughter and continued talking to Concubine Jing.
"Although the Qin family only has one male, Qin Chuan, their discipline of him is no less than that of other aristocratic families."
"He has absolutely no bad habits or practices, and will never let the princess suffer any injustice."
Mrs. Qin also quickly responded, and Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like she was just trying to sell melons.
So, Ye Xiaoxiao started laughing again in her heart, and Qin Chuan looked at Shangguan Lingyun helplessly.
Shangguan Lingyun couldn't help laughing, but for the sake of his royal sister's marriage, he had to stand up.
"Xiaoxiao, I forgot that I just received a secret letter and I need you to take a look at it."
Ye Xiaoxiao was a little confused. She was listening happily, but what secret message was so important?
However, she stood up reluctantly, said hello to everyone, and left.
Ye Xiaoxiao asked only after the two of them left Concubine Jing's bedroom.
"What happened? Why are you calling me out so urgently?"
Shangguan Lingyun naturally would not tell her the truth, so he had to think of another way.
"We both have special identities. Sitting there, they can't help but be a little cautious about what they say."
"Looking at what both sides are saying, it's basically over. There's no point in us staying in there any longer."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought so too, so she ordered Tianxuan to wait for everyone to leave the palace, and she followed Shangguan Lingyun back first.
Returning to the bedroom, Ye Xiaoxiao suddenly remembered the affairs of the Dali Temple Minister and the Jingzhao Yin.
"By the way, we have collected so much fake gold and silver, what are you going to do with it?"
Shangguan Lingyun held the person in his arms, and then the two of them lay down together.
"I have already had the secret guards take control of all their property, and it will all be added to the national treasury."
"As for the fake gold and silver, let your second brother use them to forge weapons for military supplies."
"As for the extra ones, it's not bad to give them to the masters of Yaoguang Pavilion to make jewelry."
Ye Xiaoxiao thought about it and stopped thinking about it.
Before going to bed at night, Tianxuan came to report that the Qin family and Concubine Jing had already discussed it.
All that’s left for Shangguan Lingyun to do next is issue an imperial decree, and the rest of the matters can be left to the Imperial Observatory and the Qin family.
Ye Xiaoxiao nodded and said that she would draft the decree tomorrow, and Tianxuan went down.
At the next morning court, the Shaoqing of the Dali Temple reported the results of the investigation.
Thanks to the help of Shangguan Lingyun and Tianxia Diyi Zhuang, the case was handled quickly.
All the property of the Li and Xing families was confiscated, even the relatives who had helped them use the fake gold and silver were not spared.
When this result came out, Ye Chang was the happiest. Not only did the silver notes return to the money shop, but the counterfeit gold and silver that had been collected did not have to be returned.
Then, according to the instructions of Ye Xiaoxiao and Shangguan Lingyun, he gave a part of it to Ye Pengcheng and asked him to help Ye Rong make military supplies.
Another part was sent to Yaoguang Pavilion, and Wang Muxue accepted it all with a smile.
"My husband is the one who found a way. If it weren't for him, all this money would have been wasted."
Being praised by his wife, Ye Chang's smile deepened.
Some are happy and some are sad. In just three days, for some people, their happiness is doubled.
But for some people, it has become torment.
Li Si and Xing Bin were sentenced to death in the autumn. They kept shouting their innocence in prison, and the jailers were unable to rest because of the noise.
The families of Li and Xing were sentenced to confiscation of property and exile, and Lady Li, Xing Bin's concubine, naturally did not escape.
