Chapter 34 Where’s the silver? Give it to me now
“That’s right!”
The Duke's wife screamed and rushed over like a fly. When she saw that the box was filled with gold, her eyes suddenly turned bloodshot and she was so anxious that her teeth were about to grit.
"Even if they want to take the gold away, they have to ask us first and get our consent before taking it."
now.
The Duke's wife understood that since these things had been given to the royal family, it would be impossible to get them back.
Just give it to them. Chu Jiuning has a lot of things anyway, but the credit must be given to them. If the emperor wants to reward them, he can only give it to her.
She just didn't believe that there were women in this world who weren't afraid of being divorced.
Just trying to be tough!
Chu Jiuning, who was standing aside, crossed her arms over her chest.
He looked at the shameless behavior of the mother and son with sarcasm in his eyes, slowly walked up to them and leaned forward slightly.
"Divorce me? Have you ever heard that it's easier to invite a god than to send him away? Besides, you won't get anything from me even if you divorce me, because... the emperor doesn't agree."
The Duke's wife was stunned and suddenly understood. No wonder the emperor ignored them. It turned out that the emperor also had his eyes on Chu Jiuning's property.
This stinky man, not only did he not dare to take her into the palace back then, but now he wants to steal her things.
"Madam Song, do you treat me as a decoration?"
His Royal Highness Prince Yun's handsome face was cold and he scolded him rudely.
The Lady of the Duke and Song Jinhuai then remembered that His Royal Highness Prince Yun had come to carry the things himself. For a moment, they felt ashamed and blushed as they hurriedly stood up and made way.
Watching boxes of things being carried out of the Song Mansion, it felt as if someone was reaching into their chests and tearing them apart.
This kind.
Who can understand how painful it is to hold your baby in your arms but watch it fly away?
Not far away.
There was a man with disheveled hair and dirty face, blood on his mouth, and his gorgeous clothes were torn and covered in dust. He stumbled towards this side.
Look up.
When he saw the Duke's wife and Song Jinhuai at the gate, his face looked as if he wanted to kill someone.
She hurriedly pulled up her torn clothes, messed up her already messy hair even more to hide her appearance, and ran silently towards the small gate of the Song Mansion.
It must not be seen by the Song family.
On the way back.
In a hurry to take a shortcut, she went into an alley where a few beggars were lying. She was startled and couldn't help cursing. Who knew that those lowly beggars would all get up and stop her from leaving. They even put their hands into her clothes with a giggle, and the clothes were torn in several places as they pulled.
If she hadn't had a big rock and grabbed it in a panic to smash the beggars to death, her innocence would have been ruined by those dirty guys.
Hatred flashed in her eyes, and she thought, I have to sneak in through the small door.
"Who is that?"
Chu Jiuning suddenly pointed at her, and Amber and Mingtang immediately stepped forward to stop her.
An Yinyin immediately pulled her messy hair down to cover her face, turned around and was about to run, but Amber rushed forward and grabbed her, and Mingtang lifted her hair.
"Isn't this Aunt An? How did it become like this?"
Mingtang shouted loudly.
Song Jinhuai and the Duke's wife turned their heads abruptly, and were stunned for a moment when they saw her dirty and vague appearance.
this.
Is this still the same cute, well-behaved and beautiful An Yinyin?
"Let me go, let me go."
Fifty slaps swollen her face, and her entire face, even her tongue, was paralyzed, making it difficult for her to speak clearly.
In a panic.
She cried towards Song Jinhuai.
Song Jinhuai noticed her helpless look, rushed down quickly and pushed Amber and the other one away. An Yinyin called out "Huai Lang", then pushed him away and rushed into the mansion like an arrow.
A foul smell rushed into Song Jinhuai's nose. He frowned and turned around to curse.
"Chu Jiuning, you are so vicious. You have harmed her to such a state, and you still won't let her go."
"Young Master Song, you should go check on her first. The emperor only ordered fifty slaps on her, but he didn't order her clothes to be torn."
The three words "Young Master Song" made Song Jinhuai feel suffocated, and also reminded him that An Yinyin's clothes were indeed damaged. In a rage, he turned around and rushed into the mansion.
"Madam, you stopped me from carrying the things away. I will definitely tell the Emperor about this."
"snort!"
The Duke's wife glared at Prince Yun and snorted unwillingly.
What's so great about that?
At worst, she would reveal Jin Huai's identity, and she didn't believe that the emperor would not make him a prince.
Seeing the Duke's wife walking into the palace with her sleeves swung, Prince Yun's face darkened, and Princess Yun stepped forward and spoke softly.
"Business is urgent, Your Highness, please return and report first."
"kindness."
Prince Yun nodded, then said goodbye to Chu Jiuning. Chu Jiuning stood at the door, looking at the inner courtyard with a slightly frown.
The Duke's wife's attitude was quite arrogant.
What made her so proud?
"So much gold is gone."
The hard-earned money was taken away by the royal family for free.
Chu Jiuning smiled faintly, took out a document from her arms and handed it to them.
"It's okay. With this thing, our business will only get bigger and bigger in the future."
Amber's eyes suddenly lit up when she saw it.
"Isn't this document only available to imperial merchants? How did you get it, young lady? Do you want to be an imperial merchant?"
Chu Jiuning shook her head.
"The water inside is too deep. Peeling off layer by layer will not give me much profit. I don't like it. However, if the royal merchant wants to purchase from me, I am still willing to provide it."
That is to say, although the reputation sounds good, in reality you are controlled by others, do the best work, suffer the biggest losses, and endure the most anger.
She can't stand that grievance!
Her Chu family dominates all businesses. Whether it is to attack the market or exit the market, she has the final say.
"Never mind all that. I'm hungry. Go back and get me something delicious."
Chu Jiuning patted them both. When Amber and Mingtang heard that the young lady was hungry, they immediately turned around and protected her into the Song Mansion, and then from the Song Mansion into the mansion next door.
A large amount of fresh ingredients were prepared in the kitchen. Chu Jiuning lay on the chaise longue, opened the menu and looked at it slowly, selected three dishes, a soup, and a dessert, and then waited lazily.
…
And in the Qingshuang Courtyard of the Song Mansion.
An Yinyin had already washed up. She covered the bruises on her chest and the red spots on her thighs with a thick layer of powder.
She deliberately exposed her body. When Song Jinhuai came in, he saw the maid tying her underwear for her. Song Jinhuai could also see her fair skin at a glance.
Maybe the bruises I saw earlier were just an illusion.
See him come in.
An Yinyin hurriedly put on her clothes and a gauze hat, then hid behind the screen and whispered.
"Huai Lang, Chu Jiuning took the opportunity to retaliate and beat me up like a monster. I'm too embarrassed to face anyone now."
"I will avenge you. Come here first. The doctor is here."
Song Jinhuai had a sinister look on his face as he lay on the couch. The maid brought the doctor in. An Yinyin looked at Song Jinhuai coldly through the gauze.
She suffered such humiliation in the downtown area, but he didn't come to rescue her. Now that he is back, he doesn't even bother to comfort her.
She paid such a huge price, didn't he know?
Turn around.
She walked to the other side and sat down. After the doctor put down the medicine box, she lifted her gauze hat. The doctor carefully examined the wounds on her face, took her pulse, and then frowned.
An Yinyin said anxiously when she saw him like this.
"You must cure me, no matter how much it costs or what medicine you use, you must cure me. I cannot afford any mistakes."
"If that's the case, then we have to use the most expensive herbs. Otherwise, the healing process will be slow and scars will easily form."
"Put the prescription in now."
When An Yinyin heard that there was a way, she urged the doctor to write down the prescription. After reading it, An Yinyin's heart was in suspense. This was really expensive and cost money.
But she didn't have a penny left.
The doctor handed over the list, and An Yinyin handed it to Song Jinhuai and said in a trembling voice.
"Huai Lang, my mother must have some left. Please help me get some."
Song Jinhuai looked at the contents above and suddenly felt a headache. His mother must have some left, but she probably wouldn't agree to give them up. She wanted to keep them for herself.
There was not even a tael of extra silver left in the Song family's account.
"Can't you use more common herbs instead?"
Song Jinhuai asked the doctor coldly, and the doctor shook his head.
"If you want to avoid scars on your face and recover quickly, you have to use good medicine. Prince, you will recover in half a month after using these medicines."
"Huai Lang."
An Yinyin was furious at his attitude, but her tone became more gentle, almost pleading.
"If that doesn't work, go get some from Chu Jiuning. She must have boxes and boxes of them."
When Song Jinhuai heard the three words "Chu Jiuning", he was so angry that he wanted to kill someone, and punched the couch in annoyance.
"Don't take her things. Let's find a way ourselves."
Chu Jiuning is now guarding against them like she is guarding against something else. She can't get the things she wants for the time being, and there is no chance to rob them by force. She has to wait until their injuries are healed.
"By the way, where is the money we invested?"
yes.
An Yinyin suddenly remembered that they had put all their money into betting.
Song Jinhuai invested 5,000 taels and she invested 4,000 taels. If all the silver was taken back, it would be 63,000 taels of silver.
With this money, I can afford not only medicine but also more expensive things.
"Gu Shanxing, go and collect all the betting money."
Song Jinhuai turned around and shouted out the window. Gu Shanxing responded and hurriedly turned around to go out. After the doctor collected the consultation fee, he also left with the medicine box.
Sixty-three thousand taels of silver, the cost is only nine thousand taels, it is really a good deal.
If that's the case.
Song Jinhuai thought that he would have to prepare more bets in the future and let those people place their bets. He could even be the banker. He handed the prescription to the maid Caidie and gave her instructions.
"Take it to Dixuan Hall and bring back these herbs first. I'll settle the bill with him later."
"yes."
Caidie went out with the prescription.
Seeing that he still cared about her, An Yinyin felt a little relieved and held his hand.
"How's the situation at the palace?"
She was stopped at the palace gate and not allowed to enter. She originally wanted to wait until they came out and then ask about the situation, but she was arrested and tortured.
When Song Jinhuai heard this, he became gloomy and said with gritted teeth.
"That damn bitch caused me to lose my position as Crown Prince."
An Yinyin stood up suddenly, staring blankly at Song Jinhuai, whose handsome face was distorted with anger, and disappointment surged in her heart wave after wave.
Not only did she not get the money or the property, but she also lost her position as the crown prince. How could her luck be so bad?
Just saying.
Caidie came in with a little maid carrying a lot of precious medicinal herbs, and Song Jinhuai asked her.
"How much silver?"
"Doctor Cao said the total is 45,000 taels of silver, but since the young master wants it, just give him 42,000 taels."
Giving him face would give him a few thousand taels less. Song Jinhuai felt a little better and nodded.
Fortunately, it’s only 40,000 taels.
After subtracting 40,000 from more than 60,000, there is still 20,000 left, which is enough to spend.
"Don't waste time, hurry up and send the medicine to Doctor Liu and ask him to get the medicine and ointment. I'm waiting to use them."
"Yes, I'll go right away."
Caidie hurriedly put the medicine away and hurried out with the maids carrying it.
An Yinyin watched the colorful butterfly run away through the window, and then threw herself into Song Jinhuai's arms and choked with sobs.
"Huai Lang is still the best to me. Don't worry about the position of the crown prince. Let mother think of a way. She only has you as her legitimate son, so the crown prince can only be you."
"kindness."
This makes sense. The others are all illegitimate sons, and he doesn't believe that his father will give the throne of crown prince to a illegitimate son.
Just saying.
Gu Shanxing ran in with a panicked look on his face, stumbling on his weak legs. An Yinyin and Song Jinhuai looked up hurriedly at his voice, their eyes full of joy, and asked him in unison.
"Where's the silver? Was it a banknote? Give it to me quickly!"
