Chapter 164 Emotions Arrived



Seeing the two people singing the same tune, Qian Ruoyu still looked calm.

He asked casually.

"If that's the case, then I won't bother with those people. But there's still one problem. You have so many gold and silver jewelry, and I guess you should have saved a lot of silver in your daily life. In such an emergency, shouldn't you take them out?"

After Qian Ruoyu said this, Li Zhiyi felt even more frightened!

After all, if she really took those things out, Li Zhiyi would not have much left in her hands.

Qian Ruoyu pressed the issue.

"Besides, all my gold and silver jewelry has been taken away. I don't have any good things left. The prince doesn't give me any rewards on weekdays. I can be said to be living off my savings."

"You will be completely different by then, sister. Not only will you have gold, silver and jewelry in your hands, but you must also have some silver saved. In addition, the prince is usually very kind to you, which is obvious to everyone. You should have a lot of silver, right?"

Qian Ruoyu continued to move closer.

"If I'm not mistaken, you should have more than five hundred taels of silver, right?"

When she suddenly heard Qian Ruoyu say this, she was even more shocked.

"Where... where can I get so much silver... I... I am already lucky to have more than 200 taels of silver in my hand, how can I possibly have 500 taels of silver!"

But after hearing this, Qian Ruoyu just smiled.

Just two casual sentences were enough to test how much silver Li Zhiyi had.

And these two hundred taels of silver were probably real, otherwise Li Zhiyi would not look so excited.

"Oh, it's two hundred taels of silver. If that's the case, two hundred taels of silver is more than enough! Just hand over your silver, and I'll tell the prince about this matter, so that he will know how loyal you are and that you are willing to help him pay the two hundred taels of military expenses!"

But after hearing these words, Li Zhiyi almost fainted.

After all, that was a full two hundred taels of silver, and it took her a long time to accumulate such savings.

Naturally, she felt scared when all her savings over a period of time were taken out at once!

So when Qian Ruoyu was about to turn around, Li Zhiyi quickly grabbed Qian Ruoyu and said.

“No, no!”

"I have other uses for the two hundred taels of silver. How can I donate it for military expenses? You...you can't do this!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled disdainfully, and then spoke nonchalantly.

"What's wrong? Didn't we agree to save money? And there's a war going on at the border. Now is the best time for you and me to save money. We can lose weight and help the prince at the same time. Why not do it?"

"And I will also be generous and give away everything. My junk can be sold for some money, and I can donate all the money with you."

Qian Ruoyu's words made Li Zhiyi's scalp tingle.

If this is really the case, then Li Zhiyi has really suffered a complete loss.

The things in Qian Ruoyu's yard were only worth a dozen taels of silver, which was already a lot, but Li Zhiyi's more than two hundred taels of silver plus those gold and silver jewelry totaled almost five hundred taels.

The comparison between a dozen taels of silver and five hundred taels of silver is simply rubbing all of Li Zhiyi's money into the ground.

This was why Li Zhiyi hurriedly wanted to catch Qian Ruoyu, but Qian Ruoyu had already walked to the gate of the yard.

At the same time, Qian Ruoyu turned around and said.

"Don't refuse when the time comes! After all, it was you who proposed this matter yourself, and I agree with all your opinions. Yan'er, let's sell all the things we have inside right away."

Yan'er nodded quickly after hearing this.

Qian Ruoyu just walked straight forward.

But just as he opened the gate of the yard, Qian Ruoyu bumped into someone head-on.

Just as Qian Ruoyu looked up, a shadow covered her, and she saw that cold face again.

Chu Mobai appeared at the door, which was very inappropriate.

If that’s the case, doesn’t it mean that he heard everything that was just said?

Just as Qian Ruoyu was thinking about this matter in her heart, Li Zhiyi behind Qian Ruoyu was also scared half to death.

After all, even Qian Ruoyu could guess it. How could Li Zhiyi not guess it when Chu Mobai heard these words?

Qian Ruoyu was not afraid at this time. Instead, she directly pulled Chu Mobai and talked.

"Since the prince is here, let him give us a testimony. He should have heard what we said just now. He wants to donate all our belongings as military expenses!"

Chu Mobai was looking at Qian Ruoyu and Li Zhiyi in silence at this time.

The conversation between the two people just now had already been heard by Chu Mobai, and he heard it clearly.

Chu Mobai just wanted to listen outside silently, but he didn't expect Qian Ruoyu to suddenly open the yard door, which led to the collision between the two.

And Si Yin and Si Ze behind Chu Mobai had smiles on their faces.

After all, they also heard that Qian Ruoyu had tricked Li Zhiyi, and Chu Mobai was still outside and heard it clearly.

There are indeed signs of danger on the border. Although the war has not yet broken out completely, it is very likely that a large-scale battle will take place soon.

It was for this reason that when the express report of seven hundred miles was delivered to the court, His Majesty the Emperor was extremely furious and demanded that the Ministry of Revenue allocate money immediately.

However, the Minister of Revenue made all kinds of excuses and not only was he unable to come up with any money, he even went so far as to ask for money from the Emperor's treasury again.

Not only did it anger the Emperor, it also angered Prince Chu Mobai, who was an official in the same dynasty.

Therefore, in a fit of anger, Chu Mobai directly agreed to raise military funds himself.

But after Chu Mobai finished speaking, no one in the court spoke at all, except for the two or three generals who were guarding the border with Chu Mobai.

In the end, His Majesty the Emperor approved Chu Mobai's plan to raise the silver on his own, and also took out 20,000 taels of silver from his own treasury to support Chu Mobai.

Therefore, after Chu Mobai returned to the palace, he began to think of ways to raise military funds. Chu Mobai even thought about asking Li Zhiyi for some money. Chu Mobai was worried about this matter at first.

This matter has obviously been resolved.

Chu Mobai said to Li Zhiyi immediately.

"Are you really willing to give me your silver?"

Her emotions had already reached this point, and Li Zhiyi had no chance to regret at this point. She could only nod continuously.
