Chapter 284 Children quarrel

She wondered if Bei Qin knew about this.

As the Prince's Secretary, is it possible that he cannot be trusted?

"Tomorrow when they return to the city, take your men to investigate. Don't make any surprises."

The next day, Chang Yan brought back the news: "Your Highness, I sneaked in with my men. There were some traps along the way, but luckily I managed to crack them."

"It looks secluded from the outside, but once you go deeper, you'll see people guarding the road."

"I remember your instruction not to stir up trouble, so I retreated."

Bei Jingchu felt more and more depressed after hearing this. After a moment of silence, he said softly, "I understand."

Every family has secrets, but no family's secrets need to be covered up to this extent.

"Go ahead and bring some incense with you. Make the guard fall asleep before you go in."

Changyan immediately went to investigate again and soon came back to report: "Your Highness, it is a secret passage leading to the outside of the manor. In the middle is a warehouse for storing gold and silver treasures. It is very large."

"I took a quick look and found that it has already surpassed the bank's profit for four years."

"You know best how huge our bank's profits are."

Yes, she knows.

Therefore, it is impossible for an ordinary princess to have so much money.

Is it corruption?

Bei Jingchu actually breathed a sigh of relief. As a royal relative, Aunt Xian Ning would at most be demoted, and Bei Qin and the others would not be implicated.

The anti-corruption campaign in Dai Viet was over a long time ago. Although many people were killed because of it, Bei Jingchu and his father are still being assassinated by their enemies.

She secretly took people to check the public funds that passed through Princess Xianning's hands, but the accounts were clean, without any trace of something wrong.

Faced with this result, Bei Jingchu had no choice but to continue investigating.

What was going on behind the scenes had not yet come to light, and life went on harmoniously.

There is no curfew on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.

The palace banquet was over, and everyone put aside their worries and celebrated this rare New Year holiday.

Bei Jingchu, like in previous years, never broke the rule of not leaving the palace and went to see the lanterns with a group of friends.

There were a few tails trailing behind.

The second princess, Bei Yanyu, took her arm, swung it coquettishly, and showed off to the third prince, Bei Jingyu.

The boy was so angry that he came up and took her other arm.

Bei Yanyu angrily slapped him: "Aye said, you are a boy, you are already thirteen years old, you can no longer take care of your elder sister!"

"Only the younger sister can take care of the older sister, not the younger brother when he grows up!"

Bei Jingyu dodged her slap and then hugged her.

"I'll just pull it, I'll just pull it!"

"Hit me if you dare! Lelelelelelelelelel~"

Bei Yanyu really went over to hit him, and the boy immediately howled: "Eldest sister, help me!"

"You take care of her——"

Bei Jingchu: ...My ears hurt.

It’s so noisy. My head hurts a bit.

She tried to persuade them: "Stop making trouble and behave yourself."

......Still arguing......

"We are outside, you two should pay attention to the image of our family."

It didn't work.

Bei Jingchu took a deep breath and yelled, "Stop! I'll count to three! If you make trouble again, go back to the palace! Three-two-"

The two children immediately calmed down and sat on either side of her obediently, like little lambs.

Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier?

What are you talking about?

Thinking that she should have brought three more, Bei Jingchu couldn't help but shudder.

The children were stuck in the palace and wanted to see the outside world, so they all came to her and begged her for help.
