Huo Jingxuan told Leng Yue the latest news he had received, "Wife, I guess we won't be able to see the Dog Emperor.
According to information obtained by the secret guards, the dog emperor was even more afraid of death because of the plague. He went up the mountain at night and began to seek immortality again.
The one who is in charge of government now is the eldest prince."
Leng Yue regretted that she was one step too late, "He ran fast, otherwise I would have broken his legs and killed him.
But it doesn’t matter if he runs away, we will still get his hard work pay.
In fact, I have already thought about it. Last time we went to the palace alone, we were in a hurry and left a lot of things behind. This time, while there are more people, let's clean up everything."
Huo Jingxuan was puzzled. "We have emptied the national treasury. Is there anything left in the palace?"
Leng Yue laughed at Huo Jingxuan's amateurishness and listed them one by one for him, "The Imperial Hospital, the Imperial Kitchen, the dog emperor, and the private vaults of the concubines in the palaces.
By the way, do you know where the granary of the palace is?
Now that you are here, you may as well just clear it out."
Now Huo Jingxuan can be sure that it was a piece of cake for Leng Yue to save his fourth brother. She probably had her eyes on those things a long time ago.
It has been confirmed again, they are not from the same family and they do not live in the same house. If his wife does not take action, then forget it. But when she does, she is even more ruthless than him and does not leave a single hair for the other person.
There is nothing in the palace that she despises except the people.
In other words, the palace could not be moved, otherwise she would have wanted to move the entire thing away, or roll it away on wheels.
When they arrived near the capital, Huo Jingxuan showed Leng Yue the way, and this time they came to a very ordinary farmyard in the suburbs.
As soon as Huo Jingxuan showed up, a man flew down from a nearby tree and saluted his master in silence.
Then there were rhythmic knocks on the door, three short and two long. Soon the door was opened, and two men dressed like farmers appeared.
He also bowed to Huo Jingxuan silently, then opened the door and welcomed everyone in.
Before closing the door, he did not forget to look left and right to confirm that there was no problem. He gestured to the sentry on the roof to ask him to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
He sent the secret sentry back to the tree to continue guarding.
Leng Yue went in and took a rough look around the house. It was quite clean, similar to that of an ordinary farmer's house.
An Er came in and went straight to the kitchen to find something to eat. Judging from his familiarity with the food, it seemed like this was not his first time here.
After rummaging through the drawers for a long time, they found two steamed buns that were so hard that they could kill someone.
He just stood there in disdain, and Wei Yi and Wei Er who followed him in said, "You haven't learned how to cook yet, and if you keep doing this every day, you'll get sick from eating this sooner or later."
Wei Yi and Wei Er scratched their heads in embarrassment, "Who knew cooking was so difficult? Among the ten of us, there is not even one person who can cook. Even those two steamed buns you looked down upon were bought by us in exchange for firewood from Granny Wang at the head of the village!"
When Leng Yue heard this, she realized that she had misunderstood Huo Jingxuan. She thought they left in too much of a hurry and forgot to leave money for the secret guards!
It turned out that these secret guards didn't know how to cook, and it just so happened that when she was being intimate with Huo Jingxuan, she was able to do two things at once and summoned out a lot of instant noodles and self-heating pots.
The original plan was to wait until the weather got cold and make do with some food when they were tired from the journey and didn't want to cook. Now let's leave it all to these secret guards.
It's hard enough to carry out missions all day, and then you have to cook when you come back.
As Leng Yue put out box after box, Wei Yi and Wei Er were dumbfounded.
Later they realized that this should be the lady that the master had revealed to them in the letter.
When Leng Yue was done, Wei Yi and Wei Er knelt down and saluted her formally, "Your subordinates, Wei Yi and Wei Er, pay their respects to the Madam!"
The sudden formality was mainly because she wasn't used to it and it scared her.
After realizing what was happening, he hurried over to help and asked Huo Jingxuan, "This is our first meeting, should I give him a red envelope?"
An Er, An Shi and Eleven became excited when they heard this, and started to make a fuss, then they knelt down with a flutter.
"Your subordinates, An Er, An Shi, and Eleven, greet the Madam!"
The result was that he didn't get the red envelope and was scolded by Huo Jingxuan.
After a little joke, Leng Yue began to introduce to Wei Yi and Wei Er how to eat those things. They were all very simple and they would learn it quickly.
The most important thing is to remind them, "Hide the food well and remember to burn the packaging boxes after eating to avoid unnecessary trouble."
He also left them 10,000 taels of silver notes as activity funds. "If you can't cook, buy some ready-made food. Eat good food and you'll grow taller. If you don't have enough nutrition, you won't be able to survive. If you don't have enough, go to the bank and get some money."
Now Wei Yi and Wei Er were happy as they no longer had to worry about cooking.
He smiled so hard that his teeth were showing, "Thank you, ma'am!"
Huo Jingxuan was curious. Leng Yue was usually careless and never looked at the account book. How could she know that he had a bank?
"Wife, who told you about the money house?"
"That day, when the housekeeper was keeping accounts, I passed by and took a look, and happened to see it.
However, the housekeeper remembers the accounts in great detail!
Not only did he keep accounts for the living, he even had to keep accounts for the dead.
You said that what he has is not an account book! I think it is more like a book of life and death. I guess the King of Hell can't match the accounts, so he has to copy it according to his book!"
Leng Yue's words made Huo Jingxuan laugh so hard, "If you hadn't said it, I wouldn't have thought about it that way, but it really is the case.
I tell you, he not only has this account book, he also took away a carriage with it before, and there is a backup in the bank.
Moreover, he wrote many of them in special symbols, which no one could understand except him.
You just passed by and took a look, and you can tell that we have a bank, my wife, you are amazing!"
Leng Yue liked to hear this. In fact, she was just guessing. There are only a few types of business, and it's hard to come up with any new ones.
But there was one thing that Leng Yue couldn't figure out, "You said you even had a bank, so why did you live in such poverty before?"
Huo Jingxuan himself felt embarrassed when he mentioned this, "Didn't I have to pretend to be poor, sick, and low-key before?
Plus, the bank belonged to my father, and it was given to me after he passed away, so it can be considered an inheritance. The main purpose of the bank is to provide funds for the activities of the secret guards and to pay the salaries of the Huo family army."
Leng Yue finally understood now. It turned out that she had wronged her father-in-law before. He was not only a money-giving boy, but also an expert at making money!
She leaned close to Huo Jingxuan and said, "Excuse me, our father is so rich, where does his money come from?"
Huo Jingxuan touched his nose awkwardly, "You are quite right about one thing, follow the root!"
Leng Yue didn't understand what was going on for a moment, so Huo Jingxuan explained to her, "My bandit behavior and habit of taking advantage of others' misfortunes are completely learned from my father."
"Oh! So this is the root, it's quite appropriate!"
In fact, Huo Jingxuan kept one thing to himself, which was that his mother was also deceived by his father.
He also learned this. Wasn't Leng Yue the one he robbed and cheated her into getting?
Until now, Leng Yue still thought that the engagement he showed her on the wedding day was real, but in fact it was forged by An Yi and An Qi.
Although he and Leng Yue were supposed to get married originally, the marriage contract only listed the eldest daughter of the Marquis Xuanping's Mansion, but Leng Yue's name was not written.
Who knew that Marquis Xuanping was so absurd that his illegitimate daughter born to a concubine suddenly became the eldest daughter, and Leng Yue should have been the eldest daughter born to a legitimate wife, but he made her the second daughter.
If Leng Yue hadn't been afraid of being scolded by people in the capital, she would have been born out of wedlock and not even have the title of legitimate child.
But fortunately, the result is good. By chance, they are together. This is a God-given fate!
