Chapter 198 I Just Don’t Want to See
"Wow... God wants to kill me, God wants to kill me."
Doctor Du was so sleepy that he took a deafness pill and fell asleep on the bed, leaving someone sitting there staring blankly.
The next morning, as soon as Bier opened the door, she saw Jin Congcong sitting in the yard.
"Little Divine Doctor Jin, why are you sitting here? Are you here to see the princess? The princess hasn't woken up yet."
Jin Congcong had a sad face: "I can't sleep, I keep waking up and falling asleep, even my dream is about my eight taels of silver."
Bi'er calculated the time for Bu Ruo to wake up while doing her work and comforted him, "As a servant, losing money can avoid disaster. Maybe this loss of money can save your life. Those boxes of silver must not have come from a good source. If you accept them, you might get into trouble."
Jin Congcong continued to lie on the stone table in the courtyard: "I don't know whether I'm unlucky or not, I just know that my silver is gone and I only have two taels left. How can I live with two taels of silver?"
"The same goes for Cen Nan. I told him to take some treasures from that box and give them to you, but he didn't. If he had taken them, could I have asked him for some money to spend?"
Jin Congcong was chattering when Bu Ruo's door opened. She was seen yawning and leaning against the door frame, looking at someone with sleepy eyes.
"Can you please have someone else do it so early in the morning? Don't you know what time I get up?"
Seeing him looking so lifeless, Bu Ruo swallowed back the curse words that were on the tip of her tongue.
"Go sweep the floor, and I'll give you an extra ounce of silver every month."
"I lost eight taels. Doesn't that mean it will take me eight months to earn it back?"
"Don't worry, I won't give you a raise."
"I want it, I want it, it would be a waste if I didn't want it."
"Well, okay. Starting today, I'll give you a raise of one tael of silver per month, and you'll also be responsible for cleaning the front yard."
Jin Congcong: ???!!!
"You didn't give me the raise for nothing..."
Bu Ruo rolled her eyes. "Why should I give you a raise for free? You don't know how to judge people, so why do you want me to fill the gap for you?"
"Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, don't even think about getting those eight taels of silver back. You can't get it back. Even if you find Cai Zhu now, she won't have any money to give you."
Jin Congcong's eyes widened. "Why? I was thinking of asking Mo Bao to help me find out where they went. I...I wanted to beg my dad to ask the people from Wuming Mountain to help me get them back."
Bu Ruo was so angry that he almost laughed.
"Jin Congcong, do you know how much money the people of Wuming Mountain get for a mission? Even if you walk fast, your eight taels won't be enough to get them to the mountain gate."
"Oh, and the Cai Zhu family took the silver and treasures from you yesterday and left the city directly. As a result, they fell into a ravine while traveling in the middle of the night. The silver was all stolen by the poor people nearby. It's a good thing they didn't come back to blame you. You still want to ask them for the silver? Don't dream."
As Bi'er helped Bu Ruo wash up, she said, "The Cai family is really unlucky. They finally managed to get some money and thought they could get by, but in the end, it was all gone, just like when their property was confiscated."
Bu Ruo said: "It's not that they are unlucky. It's all their own fault. It's retribution."
"Although the Cai family was not directly involved in the affairs of the former Crown Prince and the Minister of Revenue, he kept his knowledge to himself and did not report them. He even turned a blind eye to them and accepted bribes."
"So those victims who died in the disaster must have some causal relationship with him, which is why we have the current result."
That being said, given Buruo's personality, how could he let his own people suffer? The Cai family will indeed have retribution, but Buruo just brought it upon himself. Bullying your own people and still wanting to live a good life? Humph! Not even for a single day.
That's why she asked Mo Bao to overturn their carriage late last night, and let their men pretend to be poor people to take away all the treasures. After selling them, they would distribute the silver to the real poor people and poor families.
But if these steps are not told to Jin Congcong, otherwise, with his temper... he will probably ask Mo Bao for money.
Xiao Yulan was actually ready to take action, but Cen Bei's people said that they saw the princess's people, so they did not intervene.
In Xiao Yulan's words, as long as the princess is happy, she would turn the world upside down.
Jin Congcong lay on the table and kept comforting himself: "Well... it's okay to give the silver to the poor. After all, their lives are much worse than mine. My eight taels of silver can be considered as a good deed. This is all the blessings accumulated for me."
"Yes, that's right. Eight ounces of silver has become a blessing, but... wow, my heart still hurts."
Bu Ruo looked at him and smiled, "Alright, stop crying here. The prince said he would take me out to relax in a few days, and you should come with him. I calculated that my master's wife will give birth soon this month, so it's a good time for Grandpa Du to go back and take care of her. You can also go back and see your sister."
This was suggested by Doctor Du, who said that she should learn about it in advance before Bu Ruo showed any signs of pregnancy. After all, she was pregnant with twins, so it would be good to know more.
When Jin Congcong heard that he was going back to Wuming Mountain, he didn't know whether he should be happy or not. He had been away from the mountain for so long and he really missed home, but if he went back... he would get a headache when he saw his father.
But after a few days, Jin Congcong still reluctantly got on the carriage.
…
At the foot of the nameless mountain, Bu Ruo looked at his master in this life and his mistress who was waiting for him at the foot of the mountain with a big belly, and jumped off the carriage before it even stopped.
"Master's Wife~ Why are you still waiting here with such a big belly? It would be the same if you were waiting on the mountain."
Luo Ran gently stroked Buruo's long hair: "Master's wife missed you so much that she couldn't wait to come down the mountain to pick you up. How are you? Are you doing well after you go back? Master's wife heard that you were pregnant. I wanted to go see you after you gave birth, but I didn't expect you to come back first."
"This must be your husband, the War King, right? He's quite good! Come on, let's go up the mountain. Upon hearing the news that you were coming back, Master's Wife immediately had someone clean up your former courtyard."
"Your yard has always been kept for you and someone has been cleaning it. Now there's one more person here. Master's wife asked your senior brother to find the biggest and most comfortable bed and have it delivered overnight. It just arrived yesterday, so you can sleep in it today."
Jin Congcong stood beside the carriage, swaying left and right, and finally confronted Doctor Du: "Master, will a pregnant woman's temper become worse? Will her eyesight also become worse?"
"Won't."
"Then why can't my mother see me?"
"Is it possible that it's not that I can't see, but that I simply don't want to see?"
As soon as Doctor Du finished speaking, he saw Jin Congcong's father Jin Wuyou walking towards them.
"Wow... My dad really loves me and knows to come pick me up. Wow... I'm so touched. I've decided. I'll stop scolding him from now on."
