The two men swaggered out and came back hunched over.
Chen asked Chunzhi: "Where have they been?" The son and daughter looked as if they had done something bad.
Chunzhi poured Chen a cup of tea.
"The fourth young master and the young lady went to the Anguogong Mansion."
Today is the day when the Emperor searches the Anguo Mansion. According to the personalities of his son and daughter, everything went smoothly.
"Let's go and take a look."
Inside the house, Jiang Yuanxi held five hundred taels in his hand and looked for a place to hide it.
[You can't bury it under a tree, or hide it in a pillow, because the branches will find it.]
Jiang Yuanxi sat on the ground and couldn't think of a place to hide the money.
"Yuan Xi, what are you doing?" Chen asked softly.
Jiang Yuanxi put his hands behind his back.
[I can’t let my mother find out about the five hundred taels, or else they’ll be taken away again.]
"Mom, I'm playing with Heizi." She pulled out the black snake coiled around her arm.
Black Snake was confused.
Who am I and where am I?
Seeing Chen in front of him, Black Snake knew.
He must have been pulled out as a shield again.
Jiang Yuanxi didn't expect that her mother heard it clearly.
Chen smiled and said, "Tell me, mother, what did Yuan Xi do at the Duke's Mansion?"
Chen pretended not to see the several silver bills shining behind her daughter.
"Go, go and give them warmth."
"Poof", Chuntao couldn't help but laughed out loud.
Not only can you send warmth but you can also get some money in return. The girl is still young after all, she can't hide it.
[I just secretly went under my grandfather's bed and took five hundred taels, hehe.]
Chen raised her eyebrows. The Duke of Anguo's Mansion had to pay another sum of money after the rouge incident.
I guess there isn't much money at home.
Could it be that under the bed is the coffin of Duke Anguo?
After Chen left, Jiang Yuanxi suddenly thought of a good place to hide the money.
In the palace.
The emperor held a thin account book in his hands, his brows furrowed.
"No more?" asked the emperor.
Eunuch Cao nodded, "All the things confiscated from the Anguo Mansion are recorded in the book, and these are the only things."
The total value of all the properties and silver of the Duke's Mansion was only 1,500 taels.
It seems that the rumors about the Duke of Anguo's mansion eating his daughter-in-law's dowry are true.
The emperor originally wanted to use this opportunity to fill the deficit in the national treasury.
Who would have thought that the Duke of Anguo's Mansion only had these few dollars.
At this time, the eldest prince came in with his head hung.
When the emperor saw his eldest son, he opened his eyes wide to confirm.
In just half a month, I feel like I have aged two or three years.
The eldest prince Jun Moxie knelt on the ground, "Father, I have a request for your help."
"What's up?"
The eldest prince: "I beg you, father, to spare the mother and daughter of Jiang Yan from the Duke of Anguo's mansion."
The emperor frowned slightly: "Did Duke Anguo ask you to come?"
"No, I want to ask for your grace. Besides, this matter has nothing to do with Jiang Yan and her daughter. I beg your majesty to grant my wish."
The emperor knew his son's character and if he didn't want to do it, no one would force him to do it.
The emperor was curious about who this Jiang Yan was that made his son miss her so much.
"If you like, Father will arrange a marriage for you."
"No!" The eldest prince refused decisively.
He lowered his eyes and his face turned red: "Son, I, she doesn't know about this."
The emperor understood, it turned out to be a secret love.
For a royal son, getting a woman is just a matter of a word.
This is really embarrassing.
"You said it, I agree." The emperor waved his hand.
Turning around, he asked about his affairs again, "How did you become like this in just half a month?"
Finally someone asked.
The eldest prince complained to the emperor: "Father, I feel like I've been possessed by evil spirits."
In the past half month, I almost choked to death while drinking water, and was almost hit by an old lady while crossing the road.
The most important thing is that even though he could be tripped by a hair while walking, he could still walk to the imperial study alive. He felt that it was all because of his grandfather's hard work and the virtues accumulated by his ancestors for eight generations.
"What nonsense!" The emperor didn't believe in these ghost stories at all. "A gentleman doesn't talk about strange things."
The eldest prince said: "Father, look at your son, does he look like he is joking?"
Eunuch Cao had heard a lot about this matter, and even he felt that the eldest prince might have provoked something he shouldn't have provoked.
"Go, go, go." The emperor waved his hands.
All of them give him constant worry.
The eldest prince felt aggrieved and dared not say anything more.
Just as he stood up, there was a loud "bang" and the eldest prince fell straight back.
"Father," the eldest prince wailed, "my leg is broken!"
The imperial physician came up hurriedly and carried the man away.
The emperor covered his head, puzzled.
It's really unbelievable how a good person could become like this.
The emperor sighed.
"Cao Cheng, go to the Imperial Observatory and have a look at him." The emperor compromised.
The Imperial Observatory can not only monitor the country's destiny and predict natural disasters, but also help people tell fortunes.
"How is it?" the eldest prince asked with his eyes open. He didn't dare to move.
I'm afraid that some irreparable accident will happen halfway.
Pei Jian, deputy supervisor of the Imperial Observatory, took a look.
"Has Your Highness ever offended anyone?"
The eldest prince thought about it and said, "No."
He had just returned from the border and had no time to offend anyone.
Besides, given his status, no one dared to cause trouble.
Pei Jian couldn't figure out the reason and always felt that the eldest prince's situation was not normal.
"Your Highness, I think you are cursed."
Jun Mo Xie sneered: "How is it possible! How could this prince be cursed?"
etc.
Jun Moxie suddenly remembered something.
Not long ago, he beat up a little girl in a restaurant. When he left, the little girl stuck her butt out and drew on the ground.
