Chapter 100 I am actually my father’s son
The Taoist priest calmly put on his clothes, lifted Caifeng's chin and stared at her for a long time before laughing. This laugh made Caifeng even more frightened.
"Tell me, what brings you to see me so late at night?"
Caifeng swallowed and calmed herself down: "This servant...it was the Empress who sent this servant here."
The Heavenly Master withdrew his hand from holding Cai Feng's chin and calculated repeatedly. After a few breaths, he sighed in frustration and said, "Go on."
"Yes, this is what happened. Tonight, the Emperor suddenly came to Fengyi Palace without notifying anyone. The Empress was changing clothes and preparing to rest when the Emperor accidentally saw her... and saw the marks on her neck."
"Now the Emperor has confined the Empress to her own house, charging all expenses to the palace maids, and he's also saying he wants to...find the adulterer."
"The Empress has sent this servant to tell you to find a way to save her and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince..."
The Heavenly Master stood still for a long time before he hummed, "I understand. Everything will be resolved on the day of prayer in five days. You can go back now."
Caifeng was stunned for a moment, and when she saw that the Taoist priest really didn't want to kill her, she turned around and ran away. However, she didn't see the murderous intent in the Taoist priest's eyes as he watched her disappearing back.
…
On the second day, Bu Ruo sent the man away with tears in her eyes, carrying a stack of banknotes given by her second senior brother.
"Oh, I really hope that Second Brother can come more often, so that maybe in a few years I can catch up with the wealth of First Brother."
Jin Congcong also saw people off with tears in his eyes, but...they were real tears.
It was because when Shi Yongyan gave Bu Ruo the banknotes, his was not included, and he also told him that it was not him who was stingy, but his father would not allow him to give it to him, otherwise he would expel all three of them from the sect.
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Shi Yongyan finally couldn't bear it. He asked his followers for two copper coins, stuffed them into someone's hand, and then turned around and got on the carriage.
"Ruo'er... Ruo'er, am I really my father's biological child? Could it be that I'm like those people on the mountain, picked up by my father from outside?"
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes and said, "Didn't Grandpa Du say that you were indeed born after Master's wife carried you for ten months. There is no doubt about that."
Jin Congcong's eyes suddenly turned: "I know, I finally know why my father didn't give me money and gave you Wuming Mountain."
"It's true that my mother carried me for ten months before I was born, but I'm not my father's child. That's why he treats me like this. It has to be this way."
"I'm going to write a letter to my mother right now, asking her if she has someone else outside my father's name. If so, who is my real father?"
"If my biological father is a wealthy businessman...it's not impossible to recognize him."
Bu Ruo looked at the back of someone who ran away without even giving her a chance to speak, and shook her head helplessly.
"Princess, Master Jin wouldn't really write back, would he?"
"Based on my understanding of that idiot, he really will. After all, he dreams of becoming a rich man now."
Beau: ...
"Given the temperaments of the Mountain Master and his wife... I wish him good luck."
Sure enough, a few days later, Bu Ruo saw someone working hard to help the housekeeper on the way to the study with Bier to find Xiao Yulan. He was so diligent.
"Jin Congcong~Come here~"
Seeing someone approaching, Bu Ruo asked, "Why are you so diligent today? I remember someone proudly told me yesterday that I wouldn't have to support him anymore."
Jin Congcong's aggrieved expression came out of nowhere: "Ruo'er... woo woo, I am actually my father's son."
"Then what?"
Looking at Bu Ruo's expression of trying not to laugh, Jin Congcong wanted to die: "My mother was with my father when she read the letter. My father wrote back to me, telling me to stop dreaming and that I was his child, and there was no doubt about it."
"Wow, wow, wow... My dream of being a rich man's son has been shattered. Not only is it shattered, but he also said that from now on, I won't even get those two taels a month."
"Ruo'er... wuwu, I... wuwu... How could I be his son? Wuwu, how could I be his son? Why can't I be the son of some wealthy businessman?"
"Now I can only work hard to earn money... woo woo... and then buy the hair crown I like."
"That hair crown is so beautiful, but it's a bit expensive... Wow, even Mo Bao gave me a discount, I still can't afford it. It costs eight hundred taels of silver. They say it's made of some rare jade, wow..."
Bu Ruo quietly took back the 100 taels of silver note that he was holding, and patted him on the shoulder: "Work hard, you will definitely earn 800 taels in your lifetime."
Looking at someone who was still crying, Bu Ruo sighed: "Alright, tomorrow is the day of blessing. I'll take you out to see the fun. You can eat whatever you want on the way. It will all be on my account, but it's limited to eating."
Looking at Jin Congcong's back as he ran away happily, Bu Ruo gritted her teeth and said, "Return the hair crown, a hair crown worth eight hundred taels after a discount?"
"Haha, Bi'er, tell the pharmacy under the name of Yanzhilou that from now on, that idiot won't have to get a discount on the herbs he buys. He should just pay the market price for the cold medicine. He doesn't need to pay a single copper coin more."
"I told him to buy it, but what the hell is he going to do? Who would buy a hair crown worth eight hundred taels of silver? I haven't even spent eight hundred taels on anything on my body."
Bi'er looked at Bu Ruo and smiled, "Yes, Princess, the material of the clothes you are wearing is from Yanzhilou. It didn't cost any money."
"Most of the jewelry on your head was given by the prince as a gift or as a dowry, and it didn't cost any money."
Bu Ruo snorted lightly: "You are the only one who can say it."
Bier smiled secretly. Her princess had more than eight hundred taels on her. The fabric for her dresses alone was nearly a thousand taels per foot. It was specially shipped from Nanxia and only supplied to her princess every year. Not even the palace had it. And the hairpin on her head was nearly three thousand taels.
But so what? That was the money her princess earned through hard work when she founded Yanzhi Tower. No one could say anything about it.
Jin Congcong only knew that Bu Ruo had Yanzhilou and earned countless silvers every year, but he had no idea how difficult it was in the beginning to establish Yanzhilou.
Her young lady was still a child at that time. Yanzhilou affected the interests of many people in the martial arts world and was constantly being disrupted. All kinds of goods were either robbed or cheated. Her young lady secretly went down the mountain for several months and defeated the enemies one by one.
Everyone only knows that the young lady's three senior brothers dote on her very much and give her everything good, but others don't know. As someone who has been by her side and taking care of her since she was a child, I know how many times the young lady has secretly saved her three senior brothers from life and death disasters, and she didn't stop even when the disaster backfired on her.
If the backlash had not been so severe that it was discovered by her second senior brother, Prince Nanxia, no one would have known about this matter.
However, since then, her young lady was interviewed by the three men and asked to repeatedly promise that she would not help them get out of trouble again, and only then did they give up.
