Chapter 424 I am not made of clay
"Yes." Bu Ru nodded in satisfaction. "If you say half, it must be half. I can tell how much wealth your Zhang family has at a glance. If you dare to lie to me or if the amount is not enough, I can cripple your beastly son and naturally take the life of this woman."
"Alright, now that you understand, let's go. Three days is enough for you, isn't it? I don't have much patience. By the way, I want banknotes, and only from the Ruilin Bank."
After Madam Zhang took the person away, the Queen asked in confusion, "Why did it have to be someone from the Ruilin Bank? And that woman...did they really let her take away like that? Did they really want to leave an heir for the Zhang family?"
Without waiting for Bu Ruo to answer, the little girl replied, "Because Ruilin Bank belongs to Master Uncle. Master Uncle is very powerful. The largest Ruilin Bank in the Three Kingdoms is also owned by Master Uncle."
“As for that woman…Aunt Queen, don’t worry. Bu Bu has said that she is a grandson of the Zhang family who will not survive.”
"It's true that the woman is pregnant now, but the Zhang family will have no heirs. The child in her belly cannot be born at all. She will miscarry in five days at most. Because the beast in the Zhang family has committed so many evil things, he doesn't deserve to have an heir. That's why my mother asked the Zhang family to collect half of the family property within three days."
The queen looked at the little girl in surprise and said, "If she miscarried in five days, will the Zhang family regret it and blame us? We can then ask for the money back."
Bu Ruo waved her hand: "No, the reason why the child couldn't be saved wasn't because of us, but because of that woman's greed."
"How could she, a humble family from the market, be content to be a concubine or a maid after knowing she was pregnant with the Prime Minister's only son and child?"
"For the first three days after she arrived at the Zhang family, she behaved like a normal person. Madam Zhang provided her with delicious food and drinks. She kept everything good for her, fearing that something might happen to the child in her belly. She wished she could stay in bed all day."
"But on the fourth day, she couldn't help herself. She felt that she was pregnant with Zhang Zize's only child. If she could win Zhang Zize's heart again, the position of legal wife would definitely be hers."
"So she took it upon herself to bring the soup to Zhang Zize's room to show her affection, but the mad Zhang Zize hit her with a chair and she miscarried."
"Tsk tsk, he destroyed his only offspring with his own hands... the one his mother had exchanged half her fortune for. This is karma."
Seeing that the queen was tired and had gone back to rest, Jin Congcong dared to speak: "Ruo'er, half of the Zhang family's wealth should be quite a lot. Today I fell and was kicked. Even if I don't have any credit, I have worked hard, right? This silver... can you give me some to spend? I haven't spent any money in a long time."
Bu Ruo glanced at him and said, "I provide you with food and drink, and I wear the best clothes. Where else can you spend your money?"
"As for the silver, there is none. That silver is to be used by the Di and Bu armies for sieges and battles. But don't worry, I will transport this batch of silver in your name, and the merit will also be yours. This way... you should be able to hold on for more than a month without any bad luck."
Jin Congcong said with a sad face: "So much money, in exchange for more than a month of good luck for me, forget it, I'd better go back to my room, the decoration in my room is very gorgeous, I will feel better if I look at it."
But when someone went back and saw that the palace that was so magnificent this morning had become nothing but beds, tables and chairs... he couldn't help but burst into tears.
…
That night, without waiting for Buruo to look for her, the queen sneaked into Buruo Palace dressed in black.
"Sister, where are we going tonight?"
Bu Ruo chuckled and said, "Sister Yin, do you still want to go to the Di family?"
The queen lowered her head shyly, showing none of the majesty she possessed during the day. "How could that be... Last night he said there was a long way to go, but this morning he secretly returned to the border before daybreak."
Bu Ruo said obliquely, "Is that so? Then let's go see Guo Shuangwen and the wizard tonight."
The queen's eyes lit up again: "Let's go, let's go now. Let's go see the third princess first and then go to the wizard's hall."
"It felt so good to walk in the sky and ride on flowers last night. Lu'er said that you gave her a great opportunity. If she cultivates well in the future, will she also be able to walk in the sky? If so, can you give me a great opportunity too? I really like that feeling."
Bu Ruo took her hand and walked towards Guo Shuangwen's bedroom in mid-air: "Even if Guo Lu can practice, she is just an ordinary practitioner. Unless she obtains the Great Dao, she cannot walk in the sky."
"As for you, sister... you don't have that talent, so you can't practice."
"But you can live a peaceful life, free from illness and disaster, with many children and grandchildren."
The Queen sighed helplessly, "Never mind, you've been in the palace lately anyway. I've been coming to see you every night these past few days. A month's stroll will definitely cover my expenses."
Bu Ruo: ...
The two of them went straight to the top of Guo Shuangwen's bedroom, and they didn't see a single palace servant along the way.
"She...what is she doing? When I was following the Emperor's priest, I saw the wizard also make these strange gestures, but they didn't seem the same as hers."
"And these messy talismans, I don't know where she got them from, these things are not allowed in the palace."
Bu Ruo watched for a while and suddenly laughed: "She is trying to summon a spirit. I don't know if it's her mother's spirit or someone else's. Let's wait and see."
The Queen and Buruo were lying on the roof and handed her a handful of melon seeds, which surprised Buruo.
"If you want to watch something exciting, you have to act like you're watching something exciting. Lu'er said that you always prepare melon seeds when you watch something exciting. This time, I've prepared some for you. How about trying them? They're freshly fried in my small kitchen in the palace. They're so delicious."
The two of them sat on the roof not far away and watched Guo Shuangwen writing something and gesturing at the other side. After an incense stick of time, the queen suddenly exclaimed.
"Ruo'er, have you noticed that the moonlight was quite bright just now, but now it's getting dimmer and dimmer. I can hardly see anything."
Bu Ruo looked up with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Oh~ She really recruited him, he is quite capable. It must be the book left by his wild father. Don't say that Guo Shuangwen really has some talent."
"Then Ruo'er, did you see what she was trying to summon? What did she summon?"
Seeing the Queen's curious look, Bu Ruo patted her hands and said, "I told you not to be afraid."
"Tell me, I've seen everything in the harem over the years. Just tell me, I won't be afraid. I'm not made of clay."
