Although Yan'er was flustered, she did not feel guilty.

This silver was indeed brought back by Qian Ruoyu from her mother's home. Although it was not Qian Ruoyu's own, it was certainly not stolen. Only then did Yan'er calm down a little.

But after hearing what Yan'er said, Li Zhiyi snorted coldly.

"Haha, Qian Ruoyu? What other silver does she have? Could she bring back so much silver from her mother's home?"

"If I'm not mistaken, your queen's relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion is not very good. It's better to say that she was driven out of the Prime Minister's Mansion than to say that she married into the prince's mansion! Is that true or not?"

This made Yan'er even more speechless.

The relationship between Qian Ruoyu and the Prime Minister was obvious to all, and he had grudges against almost everyone in the Prime Minister's Mansion, so there was really nothing wrong with being kicked out.

However, Yan'er only knew a little about the strangeness of this.

It seemed as if Qian Nuolan, the second daughter, was the one who married into the palace, and later on, somehow, she became one of the daughters of the family.

As a little maid, Yan'er naturally couldn't say much. After all, the master was still the master and she couldn't cross the line. Therefore, she could choose to remain silent at this time.

Seeing Yan'er was silent, Dan'er directly picked up two silver coins, shook them slightly in his hand, and bit a mark with his teeth.

Then, Daner turned around and said to Li Zhiyi with a smile.

"My lady, these are all real silver coins. They look like they are worth several hundred taels!"

Li Zhiyi smiled, but in her heart she was thinking about how to take all the silver for herself.

Then Li Zhiyi immediately came up with a stupid idea.

Li Zhiyi pulled Dan'er to her side and whispered a few words in Dan'er's ear.

Daner just thought about it for a moment and then spoke directly.

"Haha, these five hundred taels of silver seem like a lot, and you also said that your queen brought it back from her parents' home. Plus, the old lady is going to hold a birthday banquet during this period, it seems that your queen really prepared something special for you!"

Before Yan'er could react, Dan'er continued.

"In that case, my queen would like to thank your queen on behalf of the old lady. I never thought that the queen would send such a big gift as a birthday gift for the old lady!"

"We will accept these five hundred taels of silver!"

Yan'er was stunned for a moment.

Because she never thought about how this sum of money went from being her own queen's money to being a gift from the old lady.

But then Daner gave an order, ordering the servants to carry the boxes over.

"What are you guys still standing there for? Take the box away and bring it back to our queen. Then, our queen will gather all the birthday gifts for the old lady together and give them to her on the day of her birthday banquet."

After all, he is a servant of the palace, so he must obey Yu Li Zhiyi's orders.

Several servants picked up the box and prepared to leave.

Seeing this scene, Yan'er was about to stop it, but Dan'er continued.

"Yan'er, you are just a maid, do you want to disobey the orders of our queen?"

Yan'er suddenly stood there, motionless.

Yan'er really had no way to resist Li Zhiyi and could only watch as several people carried boxes towards Li Zhiyi's yard.

However, Yan'er knew that she couldn't go on like this, so she could only run towards the kitchen immediately.

Not long after, Yan'er ran to the kitchen door panting, just in time to see Qian Ruoyu chatting happily with a few people.

Yan'er ran over quickly and said breathlessly.

"My queen! Something terrible has happened. Our silver...our silver has been stolen!"

When he heard this, Qian Ruoyu frowned immediately.

A person appeared in my mind, that was Li Zhiyi.

In this palace, there are only two people who dare to rob his silver. One of them is Liu Bei. Liu Bei obviously would not care about such a small amount of silver, and he was even more disdainful of robbing his things.

The other one is Li Zhiyi!

Qian Ruoyu asked, "Is it Li Zhiyi?"

Yan'er nodded quickly.

"Yes, yes, yes, Madam...it was Madam Consort who brought Dan'er and took away the box we just delivered to the entrance of Yueya Pavilion. She said she wanted to take it back to her own courtyard as a birthday gift for the old lady."

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang on the side nodded.

"Yes, Madam, the birthday banquet for the old lady is coming soon. It is a very grand event. After all, several major mansions are concerned about this matter. Several princes' mansions and the Duke's mansion take turns to host it. This year it is the turn of our Yewang Mansion to host it."

"And the prince gave this important task to the Concubine, asking her to prepare all the birthday gifts and gather them together... I'll ask you to prepare the birthday banquet."

Qian Ruoyu's expression changed.

She had never imagined that this matter was so serious. Now it was only Aunt Zhang and Aunt Wang who came to tell her, instead of any formal and solemn occasion.

Is it because I am not here that I can arrange it so casually? Moreover, even if I give this matter to Li Zhiyi, Li Zhiyi will not come to inform me.

If Li Zhiyi hadn't come to see him on purpose, Qian Ruoyu probably wouldn't have known about the old lady's birthday banquet.

Qian Ruoyu remembered the old lady and had a very good impression of her. If it had not been the old lady, she would probably have been kicked out of the palace.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu was not only grateful to the old lady in her heart, but was also willing to do something for her, especially since it happened to be her birthday party.

Although Qian Ruoyu was angry, she didn't think much about it. She just nodded slightly, but she was thinking about the five hundred taels of silver in her heart!

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu took Yan'er and left the kitchen directly, heading towards Li Zhiyi's yard.

Qian Ruoyu asked along the way.

"What did that woman Li Zhiyi say? Tell me everything. I want to see what excuse she used to take away all my money!"

That was the five hundred taels of silver that Qian Ruoyu had worked hard for most of the day, but it was taken away by Li Zhiyi with just a few words. How could she be willing to accept this?

Yan'er then quickly recounted the whole story.

"My queen, as soon as I got back, the concubine was waiting for me at the door with Dan'er..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qian Ruoyu interrupted her.

"Wait, don't call her Concubine Niangniang, call her by her name. Just call her by her name in front of me. The words Concubine Niangniang make me sick!"

Yan'er then nodded quickly and told Qian Ruoyu everything in detail.
