Chapter 119 Happy Pulse
When Xie Yunzhao heard about the colorful phoenix lanterns, he remembered the fifteenth day.
He knelt on the ground, looking aggrieved: "Your Majesty, I am innocent. That day, I accompanied the princess to the lantern festival. The princess only liked that one lantern, but the shopkeeper said he would not sell it to her no matter how much money she offered."
"Since the princess took over the treasury, she has worked diligently every day, fearing that she would fail your majesty's trust. How could this humble official bear to make her sad?"
"I really had no choice but to rob it, but I also asked the store owner to come to the mansion to get the silver. The Duke of Lu's mansion is so easy to find, it's not like he doesn't know the way."
"Your Excellency the Censor can go to the Duke of Lu's mansion to check. The housekeeper should have paid the money."
Censor Wu secretly glanced at Xie Yunzheng. How could he know the truth about this?
"I see." The emperor twirled the ring. Yongjia liked it, so how could the store owner refuse to sell it?
"Since it's for Yongjia, let's just stop here and don't rob again."
"I understand. Thank you, Your Majesty, for your consideration. I will withdraw now." Xie Yunzhao glared at Censor Wu and said, "I will remember you!"
The Imperial Censor was immediately frightened. Did he provoke this devil?
Duke Lu reached out and wiped the sweat from his forehead. Fortunately, his son's official position was retained.
Xie Yunzheng clenched his hands again. How could he escape this?
He doesn't seem as easy to deal with as before.
Don't be impatient. As long as his temper remains unchanged, there will be plenty of opportunities to catch him.
Slowly loosen your hand, Xie Yunzhao, you won’t be lucky forever.
After the court session ended and he walked out of the palace, the Duke of Lu grabbed his son's ear and scolded him, saying that things are different now, why is he still behaving like this?
"Dad, do you know how much money the princess spent on the transformation of Jia County? She almost spent all her dowry."
“Is this your reason for not paying?”
"Dad, if you can save money, save it."
Duke Lu was really pissed off. "Get lost. If you do it again, I'll break your legs."
"Yes, Dad." Xie Yunzhao rode away on his horse.
After Duke Lu returned home, he felt sad again when he thought of his son's words "save as much as possible".
He sighed and called the butler, "Go to my private vault and get 10,000 taels of silver and send it to Yun Zhao."
The housekeeper was surprised. Is the Second Master short of money?
"From now on, you will personally deliver the allowance from Linfengju to the Princess's Mansion every month. Remember to order some seasonal vegetables and fruits for them."
"Yes, Lord, I will do it right away."
Duke Lu took a deep breath. In fact, he and his wife liked Yun Zhao the most. This child had been lively since he was young, and his restless figure would always appear in front of you.
Yun Zheng is completely the opposite. He is always silent, speaks little, and moves little, but he is down-to-earth.
They all hoped for the best for their two sons, and now when they heard Yun Zhao mention the word "save", they felt really distressed.
Unfortunately, his good son could not understand his father's love for him. He happily took the banknote. He didn't expect that crying poor to his father was quite useful. He decided to continue next time.
Two days later, Yang Qian also went to see Gu Kaizhi off. The two of them were even more reserved when getting along than when they first met. They didn't dare to linger on each other's eyes and would quickly look away.
After getting on the horse, Gu Kaizhi couldn't help but look back. The next time they would see each other would probably be before the marriage.
…
The days that followed returned to peace, and Chen Shurong was still busy, busy making money.
Yang Qian has been following her and often goes in and out of the Princess's Mansion.
Several shopkeepers always wanted to invite their son-in-law to discuss business, especially the third shopkeeper. Every time he saw Xie Yunzhao, he would come over eagerly to serve him tea and massage his shoulders.
A month later, the Princess’s Mansion held a small banquet and invited all the cooperating merchants.
Mr. Wang held his head high, very proud.
When he saw Xie Yunzhao, he also smiled and called him his good nephew.
Xie Yunzhao didn't put on airs and called everyone Uncle Wang, "Big Brother Wang."
The Wang family father and son are now certain that Xie Yunzhao is a good kid, but he listens too much to his elder brother: "My dear nephew has moved out now, so he doesn't need to listen to Master Xie anymore, right?"
Xie Yunzhao shook his head and sighed: "No matter what, he is still my eldest brother. My father hopes that I can always put him first. But Uncle Wang, don't worry, Yunzhao knows his limits. I'm sorry for what happened last time."
"No, now it has been verified. This is also a good thing for our Wang family. We were wrong about you in the beginning."
"It doesn't matter. Things are moving in a good direction now. We just need to wait and see what happens in the future." Xie Yunzhao raised his glass to toast.
The other owners envied the Wang family very much, because in addition to having cooperation with them, they could also be brothers with the second young master Xie.
There were no separate seats today, only separate tables. Shen Shurong and Xie Yunzhao sat in the main seats and ate at the same table.
"The treasury has just been restored, and we still need the cooperation of all the owners. This princess would like to offer a toast to you all. As long as you are sincere, this princess will definitely lead you to a better future."
"Thank you, my lord."
Chen Shurong drank the fruit wine in the cup in one gulp. When he lowered his head, he suddenly felt dazed and put his hand on his forehead.
Xie Yunzhao was startled and pulled her close to him: "What's wrong with Rongrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
As soon as Shen Shurong nodded, she suddenly fainted in his arms and lost consciousness.
Xie Yunzhao was so scared that he carried the person back to his room and said, "Go get the imperial physician quickly."
The blue eagle flew away, and everyone in the room was terrified and went to the front yard to wait for news.
Xie Yunzhao was almost scared to death. Why did Rongrong suddenly faint?
He lay on the bedside, holding her hand tightly, calling her over and over again, but she didn't respond, "Why hasn't the imperial physician come yet? Qingzhu, go get him."
"Yes, Second Master."
Shen Shurong heard a child's voice in a daze.
"Mother, mother."
She tried to open her eyes, but all she saw was fog. She walked towards the source of the sound with difficulty, and the sound was getting closer.
"Mother, mother."
Shen Shurong walked while waving away the fog with her hands until she saw a small figure and she was stunned.
"Mother, I'm Anan, I'm here, mother." The figure turned around and smiled at her...
"ah--"
Shen Shurong was awakened, cold sweat pouring out of her body. Xie Yunzhao hugged her tightly and finally woke up. "Rongrong, it's me. I'm here. Don't be afraid."
Chen Shurong couldn't stop crying. No, she would never want him again.
Doctor Hu rushed in.
Xie Yunzhao quickly sat down at the head of the bed, holding the trembling man in his arms, and tried to lower his voice, his voice hoarse with panic: "Don't be afraid, Rongrong, Doctor Hu is here, let him take your pulse."
Chen Shurong stretched out his hand mechanically, his mind filled with the sound of Xie Zhinan calling "mother".
Doctor Hu felt the princess' pulse and it seemed... but not obvious. He learned that the princess had fainted suddenly and not for long, so he could almost conclude that she had fainted.
"The princess is fine. From what I can see, it looks like she is pregnant, but it is still early. It could also be that the princess is panicking."
"If the princess is not feeling unwell, then we will know after observing her for another half a month."
When he heard the happy pulse, Shen Shurong closed his eyes and didn't hear what was said afterwards.
I'm afraid the thing she least wanted to happen still happened.
