Chapter 42: Winning without Anything



After he finished speaking, he ran out of the room without waiting for Zhou to say anything else.

When Si Jinhao mentioned his father, her husband, Zhou felt inexplicably aggrieved.

The general was injured, his son fell ill, and his youngest daughter was almost betrothed to a dying man...

She lost so much money again!

Zhou lay on the table, sobbing.

The small table creaked as she shook, intertwining with her crying.

But as she cried, Zhou's mind flashed back to the words her youngest daughter had said:

Si Jinxing, you are a jinx!

As soon as you return home, there will be unrest in the house!

Looking back now, this statement is indeed true!

Zhou wiped away her tears. It seemed that she would have to go to Lingguang Temple soon.

In the study of Prince Rui’s Mansion.

"Your Highness, someone just came from General Zhenyuan's Mansion, and the princess went with him." Butler Li Zhong bowed and reported.

The third prince, Qi Nanyan, was also personally appointed as the Prince of Wisdom by the current emperor.

At this moment, he was sitting upright on a seven-panel chair made of Guanghan wood. In front of him was a long sandalwood table with gold threads. On the table were the four treasures of the study. In the middle was a piece of rice paper with ink that had not yet dried.

"Oh? Back to the general's mansion again?" Qi Nanyue picked up the rice paper and blew it gently.

"Yes, Princess... before leaving, I went to the accounting office and withdrew 10,000 taels of silver." Li Zhongwei paused, a layer of cold sweat on his forehead.

Qi Nanyue nodded to show that he understood, and waved his hand to let the housekeeper leave the room.

A black-clad secret guard flashed out from the inner room.

"Master, the Mo Ying Palace has been closed to visitors lately and no one is allowed to see anyone.

Yesterday, we received a tip-off that the Ninth Prince had sent a letter, asking the General's unmarried princess to come and take care of him."

The rice paper in Qi Nanyue's hand fell on the table, and he couldn't help but think of the woman in the pavilion that day and night.

She should be fifteen years old this year, right?

He is obviously only twelve or thirteen years old, but his eyes are shining with such wisdom and calmness?

It's only been two years since I left home, how could there be such a big change?

He also remembered that he and Si Jinyue had just gotten married more than two years ago.

Whenever he went to the general's mansion, there was always a little girl wearing a veil, secretly looking at him from afar.

The girl thought he didn't know and ran away after peeking.

......

The future Ninth Princess?

Although this marriage was decided by my father himself, he did not issue a formal decree to grant the marriage.

Ninth Uncle, what exactly do you want to do?

"when?"

"It's Si time today. I think the young lady from the General's Mansion will be leaving soon."

Qi Nanyue didn't know why he felt a little blocked in his heart, so he waved his hand to let the secret guard leave.

On Xuanwu Street, outside the gate of General Zhenyuan’s Mansion, a carriage shouted “Gee!” and rushed towards Prince Mo Ying’s Mansion.

"Mother, the girl got on the carriage with a smile on her face, and Mother Zhang from your courtyard also went with her. Don't worry." Si Jinyue helped Zhou and sat back on the couch.

"Well. Yun'er, the matter is finally over. From now on... we need to watch our mouths." Zhou leaned back on the couch weakly.

If they had not spoken out without restraint at the beginning, they would not be in such a passive position now.

If Si Jinxing were here, she would definitely roll her eyes and tell Zhou clearly:

Even if the emperor personally chooses her to be the Ninth Princess, she must take back everything she deserves!

What does this have to do with that damn imperial decree granting marriage? Stupid!

"Yue'er, I see that you don't look well. Are you okay?" Zhou straightened up, stretched out her arm towards Si Jinyue and asked.

"Daughter...I'm fine, just a little busy lately." Si Jinyue opened her mouth and put on a relaxed smile.

How to say it?

She said she hasn't been able to get pregnant after two years of marriage?

She also saw many doctors privately, but they only said that she was in good health and only advised her to drink more nourishing soup.

"Well, that's good. Take care of yourself. Has the Third Prince been treating you well lately?

Did he say anything about receiving this ten thousand taels of silver today?

When you go back, you must tell him that your mother will take her time and then give you the money.

Don't go back these days, and spend more time with the Third Prince."

Zhou was also very worried about her eldest daughter's life in the palace.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while about Si's father's injury and Si Jinhao's condition.

Si Jinyue went to pay her respects to the old lady again, and then hurriedly boarded the carriage back to the palace.

Today, the prince is taking a rest.

Si Jinxing sat lazily in the carriage, rocking until she felt drowsy.

Dealing with these tens of thousands of taels of silver is really tiring!

"Miss... Once we leave, there is no turning back. We are just waiting for the marriage decree. You are..."

Yan Fei was still feeling uneasy.

I thought that once I left the villa and returned to Jianzhou, I would have finally gotten over the hard times.

But after only a few days back, the young lady was asked to marry such a man.

Although the young lady knows some methods of treating illnesses, what is the status of the Ninth Prince?

The imperial doctors lined up one after another, but none of them could cure her! Is the young lady... okay?

Si Jinxing yawned, opened her misty eyes, and smiled with curved lips: "Silly Yanfei!"

"Miss, you are still laughing! Madam and the eldest daughter are simply trying to harm you!" Yan Fei burst into tears. Isn't the young lady usually very cautious in doing things? What happened?

"Shh!" Si Jinxing pointed at Mother Zhang who was sitting outside the car.

Yan Fei closed her mouth, but her expression remained ugly.

Lu Zhu came up and whispered, "Miss, we've got so much silver, why don't we run away!"
