Chapter 246 You Want to Blackmail Me
"step by step……"
Phantom couldn't stand it any longer: "Mr. Jin, it's not good to cheat a child out of his money like this."
Jin Congcong touched his nose awkwardly: "I'm not trying to cheat them out of their money. I'm helping them accumulate merit and teaching them to do good deeds from a young age."
Bubu shook her little head and said, "Bubu does it, and so does my brother. On the fifteenth of every month, we have porridge and buns."
"And the school, the paper is step by step."
Meiying looked at Jin Congcong's bewildered face and explained, "The master will give out porridge at the city gate on the 15th of every month, and the two young masters will take out half of the money they earn on weekdays and put it in to buy food."
"And the writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones used in the schools in the west of the city were also bought and personally delivered by the young master."
The school in the west of the city was ordered to be established after the emperor ascended the throne. It specifically accepts children from poor families so that they can also learn knowledge. However, after all, too much silver is spent every year and sometimes there are some areas that are not taken care of.
Bu Bu and Xiao Jin saw it one time when they went there to play and remembered it. From then on, they would buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone and send them to her every month. Although they were not very good, they were in large quantities.
When Jin Congcong saw Bubu holding the small purse around her waist tightly, he knew that he would never be able to get the silver back. Just as he was about to say something, he saw the woman coming over.
"Give me the silver, little girl. I'll return it to you in a few days."
"don't want."
Seeing Bu Bu's refusal, the woman reached out to grab it, but was slapped away by Phantom.
When Xiao Jin saw his sister being bullied, his eyes changed color instantly. With a bang, a thunder exploded in the sky. Just when he was about to strike the woman, he was calmed down by the frightened Phantom.
"Young Master, don't..."
Xiao Jin took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and returned to normal.
Jin Congcong was also shocked. He didn't expect that this woman would be so unreasonable and actually try to rob.
The waiter took a look and understood: "Sir, you are kind enough to see it, but it is not a matter of a few copper coins after all. Otherwise, you can..."
"no!"
The woman who was beaten to the ground kept coughing: "He must keep his word if he promised to pay for me. Besides, they injured me, so the eight taels of silver should be regarded as compensation for my medical expenses."
"No, eight taels is not enough, eighty taels is required."
Jin Congcong looked at her in disbelief: "How can you be like this? I'm helping you out of kindness, but you're trying to blackmail me."
"Besides, you were the one who tried to snatch my child's purse first, so we beat you up. You deserve it."
Seeing that Bu Bu was wronged, Jin Congcong immediately put away his good intentions and looked at the woman with eyes full of anger.
It was obvious that the woman was really hurt by her persistence. In the end, she could only sigh: "I am from the Regent Palace. You can come with me to the palace to get the eight taels of silver. I don't have that much on me now."
The waiter became respectful the moment he heard that the other party was from the Regent's Palace. Just now he was afraid that the woman would run away and didn't pay attention to the two children. Now he looked carefully... weren't those the two treasures of the Regent's Palace?
"So it's the young princess and the young prince. No problem, no problem..."
Jin Congcong glared at the woman fiercely and said, "I'll pay eight taels of silver for you. Just consider it as your medical expenses for injuring you. If you continue to pester me, don't blame me for being rude."
The Phantom rolled his eyes: How rude can you be? In the end, I still have to rely on the princess.
The waiter followed Jin Congcong back to get the silver, and the woman followed behind. Jin Congcong ignored her because she couldn't enter the palace anyway.
As the group arrived at the gate of the palace, they saw Xiao Yulan and Cen Nan returning from the palace.
"Dad~ It's Dad~ Daddy, here, it's Bu Bu~"
Xiao Yulan stopped and took Bubu over: "Did you go out to play? Are you tired? Come here today, daddy will carry you."
Xiao Jin shook his head: "Jin is old enough to walk by herself, dad can just carry her."
Jin Congcong moved closer to Cen Nan and said, "Um... Mr. Cen, can you lend me some silver? It doesn't have to be too much, just eight taels will be fine. I will save up the silver and pay you back."
Cen Nan looked at the two people following behind him and gritted his teeth. "My little genius doctor Jin, you didn't pick up another person, did you? The one in the mansion hasn't been sent away yet, and this other one... The princess will definitely skin you alive."
When Bu Ruo was mentioned, Jin Congcong was frightened and quickly waved his hands: "No, no, I didn't pick it up this time. I was just helping, but there was a little problem in the process."
Xiao Jin held Meiying's hand and looked at Cen Nan seriously: "Uncle Cen, Senior Brother has good intentions. That woman tried to rob my sister of her money, but was beaten by Aunt Meiying."
Xiao Yulan held Bu Bu's hand and turned back to look at the woman, as if she was looking at a dead person. After a long time...
"Cen Nan, give him eight taels. Remember to explain clearly to the princess what happened when you go back."
After Xiao Yulan finished speaking, he took Bubu and Xiao Jin to the mansion. Bubu hugged his neck with a look of grievance: "Dad, won't you help Bubu?"
Xiao Yulan scratched her nose lovingly: "How could Daddy not help Bubu to vent his anger? Bubu, just wait, Daddy will make her pay back a hundredfold or a thousandfold."
Jin Congcong followed silently behind. He had a premonition that he was about to die.
In the end, the woman was unable to enter the Regent's Palace. Even though she cried and shouted outside and pretended to faint, she couldn't get anyone to turn back. In the end, she could only leave in disgrace.
…
In Chaoyang Garden, Bu Ruo looked at Cen Nan and raised her eyebrows.
"Are you saying that woman wanted to rob Bubuyin?"
"Yes, the secret guard said that the woman was knocked away by the Phantom Girl before she even touched the young princess. The young master seemed to have summoned thunder, but it only roared once and didn't strike."
Cen Nan thought for a moment and continued, "Princess, if your Highness and I are not mistaken, that woman should be the princess sent by Beining to marry. They should arrive in three days, so I wonder why they are here so early."
"However, according to the secret guards' observations, the princess must have escaped secretly, and her encounter with Master Jin and the others was an accident, not intentional."
"This Master Jin's idea is really too..."
Bu Ruo chuckled: "It is indeed the princess sent by Beining to marry. I figured it out when they left, but I didn't expect to meet her like this."
"Forget it. The princess is here for us anyway. Even if Jin Congcong wasn't so loving, she would have found another way to come to us."
"By the way, where are the children and Jin Congcong? Didn't they come back together? Why can't I see them?"
Cen Nan suppressed a laugh. "The young princess and the young prince went to the study with the prince to play. As for Master Jin... he's currently lingering at the study door, saying he's waiting to come back with the young masters. He probably wants the young masters to put in a good word for him."
