“How can this be possible!”

Zhou Zhubu looked very excited, as if he was the one who had no money.

"You are a princess, how can you not have some money on hand? But it is also true that you have just arrived at the palace, and the prince must not have thought of giving you a monthly salary. This is really..."

Zhou Zhubu suddenly slapped his forehead.

"Oh, I remember now. How about I lend you some money?"

As he spoke, Zhou Zhubu took out a silver ingot from his sleeve.

"Princess, please rest assured. This ingot of silver is something I carry with me. It is not taken from the treasury of the palace. You can use it as you wish."

"You can pay the money back whenever you want."

But Qian Ruoyu directly declined, and was slightly moved in her heart.

She didn't expect that Zhou Zhubu, at his old age, was still so righteous.

He casually took out a tael of silver!

But Qian Ruoyu’s target is not Zhou Zhubu’s money, but that man’s money!

Only the man's money is his.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu said.

"That's not necessary, Master Zhou. This is your money. This princess cannot borrow it casually. If it gets out..."

Before Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, Zhou Zhubu seemed to have thought of something and quickly put away his silver.

"Your Majesty is right. This is something I neglected!"

"If it were to get out that a distinguished person like you borrowed money from a helper like me... it would be embarrassing for you and the prince!"

"My lady, you are really far-sighted and wise!"

Qian Ruoyu smiled slightly, but started to complain in her heart. She said this only because she was afraid that the man would hear it, but she didn't expect that Zhou Zhubu would actually make that connection.

This time, Zhou Zhubu was obviously on the third floor!

"But, Madam, what should we do? Otherwise, I will go to the prince and ask him to arrange some money for you as soon as possible."

"You are the legitimate wife of the king. The prince's money is yours. Perhaps with just a word from the prince, you can get a few hundred taels of silver."

Qian Ruoyu sneered in her heart, "With that man, can he give me several hundred taels of silver? I'm afraid he is just snatching several hundred taels of silver from me!"

Zhou Zhubu said again.

"You are the principal princess, so all this is as it should be. Haha, the princess' concubine even came to see me and wanted to withdraw next month's money in advance from me. Haha, unfortunately, I kicked her out!"

Lai Chi Yi?

Did Li Zhiyi also come to see Zhou Zhubu?

Qian Ruoyu was surprised to hear this and asked, "So, Li Zhiyi was here?"

Zhou Zhubu nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, Madam, the prince's concubine came to see me a few days ago and told me that she was short of money and hoped to withdraw it in advance. She also said that she had told the prince."

"Hmph, look at what she said. The prince asked me to manage the treasury. How could he not tell me that I needed to withdraw money and goods in advance? She has no evidence, so I just refused directly. Hmph!"

After listening to what Zhou Zhubu said, Qian Ruoyu realized that the old man in front of her was actually quite cute.

But, good job!

Qian Ruoyu blurted out: "Well done!"

Zhou Zhubu was stunned.

Qian Ruoyu praised: "Zhou Zhubu, you did a good job!"

"You have played an indispensable role in protecting the palace's treasury. We almost let someone else take away the treasures at will."

Zhou Zhubu nodded repeatedly, "Yes! With me here, no one can take the silver away."

Qian Ruoyu pointed at herself.

"Zhou Zhubu, I need some money, what should I do? As for the prince, we are newlyweds, and I am embarrassed to go to him. If I let you go... I am afraid that if it gets out... I am afraid that people will think that you and I have some kind of relationship that is not allowed to be seen by others."

Only then did Zhou Zhubu quickly nod his head again!

"I see!"

"Princess, you are so thoughtful! I didn't expect that you are right. We really can't tell the prince. No one can do this!"

"But..." Zhou Zhubu scratched his head, "What should I do?"

Qian Ruoyu looked at the two servants outside the room, who were banging on an abacus and obviously couldn't hear the noise inside, so he spoke bluntly.

"Otherwise, Master Zhou, how about you withdraw some of my money and belongings in advance..."

Qian Ruoyu's voice was very soft.

Because she was afraid that Zhou Zhubu would refuse!

You know, Zhou Zhubu could even reject Li Zhiyi, so why couldn't he reject me?

Just when Qian Ruoyu was worried, Zhou Zhubu spoke straightforwardly.

“Ah, I see!”

"Your Majesty is right. I didn't expect you to come up with such an idea. You can withdraw the money first, and you can get it back directly someday."

"It's fine if you don't take it back. It's the prince's property anyway. You two have been together for a hundred years. It's a thousand-year fate. Whether you take it back or not, I'm sure the prince won't blame you!"

Qian Ruoyu was stunned. This Chief Clerk Zhou was a bit hypocritical!

He had directly rejected Li Zhiyi before, but now facing her, not only did he not reject her, he even praised her!

Qian Ruoyu could hardly understand Zhou Zhubu's thinking!

But in a moment, Zhou Zhubu took something out of the box.

Placed in front of Qian Ruoyu were ten large silver ingots and one gold ingot!

"My lady, the silver in the palace is official silver. One ingot of silver weighs three taels, and one ingot of gold weighs five taels. Please take as much as you want. I won't keep a record of it. You can use it anytime."

Qian Ruoyu was stunned again. What was placed in front of him was thirty taels of silver and five taels of gold. This Chief Clerk Zhou was so generous.

He did not regard the treasury as his own home, but as Qian Ruoyu's home, and he, Zhou Zhubu, was the steward of the treasury.

Qian Ruoyu was extremely moved. What Zhou Zhubu did was something that even her own father would not do.

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu quickly thanked him: "Zhou Zhubu, you are so kind, thank you."

But in the next moment, a tear rolled out from Zhou Zhubu's eyes.

"My lady! You are so polite!"

Zhou Zhubu shed tears and said: "My queen, these are what I should do! You can't just thank me casually, it really makes me embarrassed!"

"By the way, if you need more, please come and take it. I will give it to you, but don't take too much."

Qian Ruoyu nodded quickly.

On the other side, Zhou Zhubu took out a gray backpack and handed it to Qian Ruoyu.

"My lady, put it in here. There are several small bags inside. You can put the silver in them to avoid making noise when walking on the road. You can take it. When you go out... remember to keep a low profile."

Qian Ruoyu knew that it was Zhou Zhubu who was helping her, so she nodded quickly.
