As soon as Jiang Muyu returned to Qingyu Courtyard, he asked Yun Xuan to open the warehouse.

"You go out first." She sent Yun Xuan out.

Then she looked around the warehouse. There were gold, silver, jewelry, silks and satins. She remembered that there were also several shops and farms. If managed properly, these would ensure her a secure life for the rest of her life.

But she was worried that she couldn't take these things with her...

Jiang Muyu sorted out some valuable things and gave them to Yunshan, asking her to pawn them in exchange for money.

You will feel at ease only when you have real gold and silver in your pocket.

Yunshan looked puzzled: "Madam, are you... short of money?"

"Well... I have some other uses."

Yunshan didn't ask any more questions and left Qingyu Courtyard carrying the big bag.

But he was stopped by Xu Lang halfway. "Where are you going with this big bag? Are you trying to escape after committing a crime?"

Yunshan glared at him and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? We signed a death contract, where can I run?"

"So what are you doing?"

Yunshan looked around and then lowered his voice and said, "The queen is very strange now. She asked me to pawn these things and exchange them for silver and banknotes."

Xu Lang was also puzzled: "Is the Majesty short of money? Her monthly salary is not small, and there is also the income from the shop and farm given by the Marquis's Mansion. The prince has always let the Majesty keep it herself. How come she is short of money now?"

"I don't know either. Madam said it has other uses. As a servant, I can only follow my master's orders." Yunshan folded the cloth bag and said, "I won't say more. If I delay for too long, I won't be able to explain myself later."

"Okay, you go first."

Xu Lang watched her leave, thought for a moment, and then turned and headed out of the palace.

In the courtyard of Qingyu.

Jiang Muyu was calculating her property when Yun Xuan came in and said, "My Lady, the Crown Prince is on leave today."

"Yeah." She continued looking at the account book without moving.

Yun Xuan was unsure for a moment, and after a pause, he said, "Madam, would you like to ask the kitchen to make more dishes that the prince likes?"

Jiang Muyu still didn't raise his head, "You decide."

Yun Xuan looked at her, pursed his lips, and finally said nothing and walked out.

Yunyan heard everything from outside the door, and came up to her and asked, "Sister Yunxuan, what happened to the queen today? Did she get upset when she went to the poetry club?"

Yun Xuan shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

"So what did you encounter at the poetry meeting?"

She thought about Jiang Muxue's incident. She was really shocked by the princess's fierce and aggressive behavior at that time, but this matter concerned Jiang Muxue's innocence, so she couldn't tell anyone about it. Besides that, there was also...

"The prince also went to the poetry meeting."

"What is the prince doing there?"

"He said he heard the music played by the queen when he passed by Shulang Garden, so he went in to take a look. The prince also asked the queen to have a private talk. I was far away and didn't hear what they talked about, but the prince didn't look very happy when he left."

Yun Yan understood and said, "I guess the two of them had a quarrel."

Yun Xuan thought so too, but he also found it strange. In the past, the princess was very cold to the prince, but they never quarreled. The two of them didn't look like a couple, but more like neighbors living together.

Now the princess is not very enthusiastic about the prince, but she is always nice to him intentionally or unintentionally. The relationship between the two seems to be thawing, so why did they suddenly quarrel?

Yunyan's thoughts jumped faster. Suddenly she thought of something and said anxiously, "Your Majesty is counting your dowry. Are you planning to divorce the prince? Then what should we do?"

Yun Xuan quickly covered her mouth, looked around to see if there was anyone around, then flicked her forehead and said in a low voice: "Don't talk about the master's affairs. Don't forget that our mission is only to "look after" the princess."

"Hmm..." Yun Yan rubbed her forehead which was hurt by the bullet, nodded, and said, "I understand, Sister Yun Xuan, you go and do your work, just leave this to me."

In the study.

There were several thick stacks of account books on the table in front of Jiang Muyu. It would have been better if she hadn't looked at them. The more she looked at them, the tighter her brows furrowed.

There were a total of six shops and three farms, of which four shops and two farms were basically losing money every month, and the other two shops and one small farm also made pitifully little profit.

The original owner never cared about these things before. To sum up the original owner's short life, he was love-minded in the early stage and became brainless and black in the later stage.

After all, he is a villain. The author gave him a character full of flaws, and he never accomplished a single thing in the whole text.

She held her forehead helplessly, "Are you asking me to wear this to clean up the mess?"

She needed to pick a day to go and sort out the shop and the farm herself.

As she was watching, she suddenly heard footsteps and thought it was Yun Xuan coming. She said without even looking up, "Yun Xuan, lick the tea."

However, not only did the other party not lick the tea for her, he also moved the candlestick away. Although it was not yet dark, the light in the room was not very bright. She was dazzled when looking at the account book. When the candlestick was moved away, she frowned unhappily.

"You are doing..." The words she was about to say were stuck in her throat when she looked up and saw the person coming.

The man in front of her was dressed in black, looking down at her, his face darker than the color of his clothes.

Jiang Muyu suddenly had a bad feeling, swallowed subconsciously, and stammered, "My Lord, why, why are you here?"

Liang Qingchen didn't answer and threw a large package on the table in front of her.

The cloth bag hit the table with a heavy thud, and the contents scattered out, some on the table, and some on the ground.

Jiang Muyu was frightened and leaned back slightly subconsciously, and the account book in his hand fell to the ground.

"Give me an explanation." His voice was chilling.

Jiang Muyu felt a chill down her spine. It was the middle of summer, but she felt like she was falling into an icy cave. She thought, "It's over. He's found me. Will he kill me? If I die now, will I really die? Will my modern body still exist? Can I go back?"

Liang Qingchen watched her face turn pale, her eyes rolling around, as if she was thinking about something. He frowned and raised his voice, "Answer me!"

Jiang Muyu immediately came back to his senses, licked his lips, and pretended to be calm, "Answer what?"

"Why did you pawn your dowry?"

"I...if you divorce me, how will I survive without any money?" she confessed honestly.

"When did I say I wanted to divorce you?"

"Didn't I tell you everything today in Shulang Garden?"

"I don't remember what you said." Liang Qingchen coughed softly and continued, "Put these things back to their original places. If you are short of money, I can give it to you."

Jiang Muyu blinked, then blinked again, and said, "How much do you want?"

"It will be all right."

"I need one thousand taels of silver now."

"Uh..." Liang Qingchen was puzzled, "What do you need so much money for?"

"What do you care about me? Just tell me if it's okay or not."

Liang Qingchen nodded, turned around, and said to her with his back to her: "I'll ask the cashier to call you." Then he walked out.

Jiang Muyu looked at his back as he left, and she felt that this was inexplicable. Wasn't this man here to call her to task? Why didn't he divorce her in the end and even give her money?

But it’s a good thing that he didn’t want to divorce her. After all, being a princess can bring her a lot of conveniences here.

However, what she didn't know was that Liang Qingchen thought the same way.

He walked out of Qingyu Courtyard and told Xu Lang, "Tell the accountant to transfer 1,000 taels of silver to the princess."

Xu Lang was puzzled: "What does the princess need so much money for? And didn't you just ask about the dowry? How come you ended up losing money?"

"What do you care about me?" Liang Qingchen kicked his knee. Xu Lang grimaced in pain. He said coldly, "Just go when I tell you to. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"

"Yes, yes." Xu Lang could only limp to find the cashier.

Liang Qingchen walked towards his own academy, feeling more and more annoyed. Wasn't he just about to go and ask for vengeance? How did things turn out like this? ?
