Chapter 120: Bank Crisis
Xie Yunzhao did not feel any joy at all. He thought that if Rongrong became pregnant, she would faint, so he would never let her get pregnant in this life.
God knows his heart almost stopped beating. How long have they been together? He couldn't let anything get to them.
Doctor Hu thought that he would see the two crying with joy, or thanking them shyly, but in fact, one of them cried and the other was angry, as if he had misdiagnosed them.
Strange, he walked out in shame, carrying the medicine box.
In the Chaohui Courtyard of the Duke of Lu's Mansion, at the same time Shen Shurong fainted, Li Wan'er felt the fetal movement.
She went to the front yard to tell Xie Yunzheng in surprise.
For the first time, Xie Yunzheng didn't keep a straight face and even curled the corners of his lips. After all, he was his legitimate son...
In March, a month had passed since Imperial Physician Hu diagnosed her pulse, and Shen Shurong had not called the Imperial Physician again, but her period had not come, so she had to believe the truth.
I put my hand on my belly, hoping it was just a dream.
Xie Yunzhao felt relieved when he saw that she had not fainted again. However, as she did not seem to want to be diagnosed, he did not suggest calling the imperial physician.
Chen Shurong hugged the man's waist. It was useless to be afraid or hate him. She was pregnant. As long as he was the father of the child, they could educate the child with different character.
Shen Shurong, who had figured it out, stopped twisting his temper: "Husband, let's go find the imperial physician to take your pulse."
Xie Yunzhao hugged her: "My lady, what are you afraid of? If you don't want..."
"No, this is your and my first child, I want it."
The imperial physician came and confirmed that the princess was pregnant after taking her pulse. The Princess's Mansion, the Prince's Mansion, and the Duke of Lu's Mansion were all very happy, and everyone in each mansion gave rewards.
From that day on, Chen Shurong would ask someone to read to the baby in her belly whenever she had free time.
From moral ethics to folk stories, as long as the book can help people distinguish right from wrong, she will let people read it.
Especially books about the difficulty of meeting a woman, meeting an unfaithful man, or being hurt by one's husband will make people read them several times.
It is important to make the baby in your belly more sober, understand the truth, and distinguish between loyalty and treachery.
In order to let her rest assured and take care of her pregnancy, Xie Yunzhao basically took over all the official duties so that she would not have to worry.
Tired of listening today, Chen Shurong leaned on the couch, feeling a little sleepy.
Yinzhi sat beside the couch and rubbed her legs.
"Has Yewshan delivered any news recently?"
"Princess, the prince went to the backyard a while ago, but he was only gone for two days before Jin Zhi lured him back. I heard that Li Wan'er quarreled with him once, and now the prince is not going there anymore."
Chen Shurong curled the corners of his lips slightly. Why hasn't Wei Youran, this loser, married yet?
Looks like it's time to give it a push.
"Send some good things to Jinzhi. I won't feel at ease until she is well."
"Yes, Princess."
"Call Fu Shun to see..."
Two days later, Shen Shurong went to the East Palace.
"Sister Yongjia is in poor health, why did she enter the palace?"
Chen Shurong bowed and saluted: "Brother Crown Prince, Yongjia heard some news and couldn't sit still, so he came to disturb me."
Li Chen ushered him in: "What's the news?"
Yinzhi helped Shen Shurong sit down: "Yongjia heard that the third prince intends to marry Wei Youran as a concubine."
Li Chen frowned and nodded: "I have also heard that the third brother has become more and more restless recently."
"Don't worry, Prince. Wei Youran may not agree. She has always liked Prince Xie."
"I know that the Crown Prince values the Prince. He is the Earl of Yongjia, so we are naturally on the side of the Crown Prince. Now that the Xie family army supports us, if Wei Youran really marries the Prince, the Wei family army will naturally support the Crown Prince."
Li Chen knew this too, and shook his head, also in distress: "Why would the Wei family allow Wei Youran to be a concubine? Although a concubine is also a concubine, she is listed on the royal jade tablet after all."
"Besides, I asked Xie Yun before he got married, and he didn't want to marry Wei Youran."
Chen Shurong looked anxious: "How can he be unwilling at this time? Is he going to watch the Wei family army turn to the third prince?"
Li Chen squinted his eyes and looked over: "Sister, do you have a solution?"
"Wei Youran will not marry anyone else but him. As long as we create some opportunities, I believe she will be willing to seize them."
"If the truth is revealed, the Wei family will not let their daughter die. They will agree to her becoming a concubine even if they don't want her to. As for my brother, he already has a wife. He can only take on a concubine. She can also help you. There is no reason for him to refuse."
Li Chen suddenly realized and clapped his hands: "Yes, he can take the room."
Li Chen secretly thought that he was stupid. Yongjia was right. If Xie Yunzheng couldn't even do such a small thing, what else could he expect from him?
Seeing that he had figured it out, Shen Shurong smiled slightly.
When he left the palace, he took a box of jewelry with him.
Xie Yunzhao was waiting for her outside the palace gate. He helped her get on the carriage and asked in confusion, "Madam, do you think the Wei family will side with the prince?"
Shen Shurong smiled and shook his head, how could it be?
She leaned over to Xie Yunzhao's ear and whispered, "My husband, if Wei Youran lives well, the Wei family may be a knife in the hands of Xie Yunzheng and the prince, but what if she lives badly... or dies?"
Xie Yunzhao suddenly looked at her. Rongrong is so tall!
He grinned and said, "In this case, we must leave evidence for this action, so that General Wei will know who is the one who made his daughter a concubine. Don't wrongly accuse my brother."
Shen Shurong rewarded him with a kiss, "My husband always thinks about his brothers."
“It should be.”
The young couple smiled at each other.
As soon as the two returned to the mansion, Fushun came over in a hurry: "I pay my respects to the princess and the second master."
"What's the hurry?"
"Someone spread a rumor that the treasury's bank was running out of money, saying that all the money was used by the princess to govern Linhuai and to expand her business."
"Let those who have deposited money withdraw it as soon as possible, otherwise it will be too late."
Xie Yunzhao clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "Don't let me find out who spread the news!" Ever since Rongrong got pregnant, he has been in charge of the treasury. Now that these things have been spread, how can he explain to Rongrong?
Chen Shurong held his hand: "It's not your fault, and neither am I. We must first think of a way to prevent all these people from coming to take the silver."
Xie Yunzhao was very angry. He suspected Xie Yunzheng, but he didn't believe that he would cheat Rongrong like this. After all, the treasury belonged to Rongrong now.
Shen Shurong held his hand and said, "Don't worry, Fushun, first call all the shopkeepers to come to the Princess's Mansion to discuss matters."
"Yes, Princess."
The treasury originally had five managers, and Chen Shurong recruited five more secret aides, making a total of ten people.
Yang Qian is now also a director of the treasury, and rushed over when she heard the news.
The chief shopkeeper who managed the bank knelt down when he saw Chen Shurong, "Princess, the money of the bank has been used for other businesses since its establishment, but the money on the books now can be maintained for normal deposits and withdrawals by customers."
“This princess knows, the big shopkeeper, get up quickly.” Shen Shurong raised his hand: “Now it’s not that if it’s on the books, the people will believe it. Someone wants to destroy the reputation of the bank.”
"The purpose is to scare the people and make them withdraw all the money they have in the bank. Even if our account is full, it is not enough for everyone to come and withdraw."
The shopkeepers were extremely worried: "We can't stop our business now. Once we stop, the losses will be even greater."
Before he could come up with a solution, Fushun came in again and reported: "Princess, the banks are crowded with people trying to get in. I'm afraid it's too late to get the money back."
