Chapter 148 Just Pay the Money
Pu Qiongzhi came out of the palace with Pei Wanqing's letter in her hand.
She was just curious.
He had clearly already joined the eldest princess's team.
Since she knew they were neither enemies nor friends, why would she reveal the information to herself?
She opened the letter and took a look.
She now has some understanding of the affairs in the court.
But she only needs to be responsible for paying the money. Doesn't it still depend on the lord how to plan things specifically?
Pu Qiongzhi also made many plans before joining the army.
But now, she has made it clear that she is the eldest princess's money bag.
Even so, she still has to take some risks.
After the agreement with the eldest princess, the gold mine in Lin'an was kept secret.
Currently, Lu Puhe is leading a team of Pu family craftsmen to survey the area.
After they have finished the calculations, Pu Qiongzhi will let Xin Long and Weng Hai's people start mining.
Mining gold illegally is a matter of life and death.
Pu Qiongzhi didn't want to implicate Nangong Hua.
No matter what the outcome is, at least she won't implicate him if something happens.
She owed him the most since she married him.
She is not a good person.
It has been like this since I was very young.
After seeing through human nature, I always feel that the relationships between people are cold and centered around interests.
She would not interact with others unless there was interest involved.
Even if there is a transaction of interest, Pu Qiongzhi will not take it to heart.
This kind of casual relationship is actually a kind of protection for Pu Qiongzhi, the God of Wealth.
Because she knows too well that with what she can offer, developing any relationship will not be difficult.
It was always others who opened up to her first, and she would then give them papayas in return.
But when it comes to Nangong Hua, these rules seem to become loose.
At that time, when he discovered Xinlong Wenghai, she should have found a way to silence him.
But she didn't.
She was indeed pretending to be nice to him and wanted to be a superficial couple.
But Nangong Huazhen gave her enough time...
Until she had unknowingly let down her guard in front of him, until she had already confessed everything to him before she was on guard against him.
Pu Qiongzhi has always been smart and knows herself well enough.
In her state of mind, how could she have been careless... She had already made plans before she followed her heart.
She naturally understood that she had feelings for Nangong Hua.
If the eldest princess achieves great things in the future, she will definitely not let Nangong Hua go.
But now that she was doing something risky like this, she couldn't involve him.
…
Nangong Hua hid outside.
He couldn't understand it, as she was clearly about to reject the Ninth Prince.
Why didn't he have a chance?
Does it have to be through robbery, bullying and occupation to be considered vigorous?
"You still bought this storybook?!"
He hid in a tavern drinking alone, but saw Qingxu buying a storybook at a bookstore.
"This is something that all the maids in the mansion love to see! I'll take it back to Zidai to coax her."
Qing Xu scratched his head, not understanding what had upset his uncle today.
In his opinion, the uncle was just too gentle.
"A rough guard and a beautiful actress?! What the hell is this?! Just looking at me makes me angry!"
Nangong Hua dodged in anger, ready to throw him to the ground and step on him. However, he held his hand high and didn't let go...
"Forget it. Why get mad at a book? Let me savor it first."
He sat down and after turning the first page, his hands never stopped reading.
"Eh...tsk...huh...oh..."
He finished reading the book with a grin on his face, still unsatisfied, "When will I forgive him?"
"This kind of evil person must be severely tortured to make him realize his mistake!"
"This woman is too kind. If she were my wife, I'd probably make sure this man was killed without a burial place!"
“…” Qingxu remained silent.
Nangong Hua didn't expect him to reply.
"Go back home!"
His mind is much clearer now.
He did not make any mistakes, and the lady would not suddenly decide to vote for the Ninth Prince.
He carefully considered his wife's whereabouts during this period and figured out a clue -
Today, the clearest thing is the struggle for favor and succession to the throne.
If she wanted to get involved in this matter, what better choice would she have than the eldest princess?
What's more, she was so close to the eldest princess a few days ago, so the decision naturally went without saying!
But if I serve the eldest princess, Madam won’t have to worry about anything!
The eldest princess has military power and is the granddaughter of the emperor. Although most of the old ministers of the late emperor have retired, he absolutely does not believe that she has no real power!
In this situation, the lady only needs to take care of the money matters.
Apart from the Princess's Mansion, the Madam has only been to the palace once these days.
But now they already know that their aunt's child is not a bastard...
So, there must be a reason.
Let’s go back to what happened to Madam in Lin’an Prefecture.
The mystery was solved at once.
Nangong Hua naturally knew about the gold mine over there.
Madam must have gone to see Yin Shuyu for this matter.
But it is obvious that this matter was probably not told to Yin Shuyu.
Nangong Hua's guess was almost correct this time.
It's just a hidden gold mine...
Is he too ruthless in hiding his incompetence, or is he too subservient in front of his wife?
It was really his fault that such a thing made his wife want to divorce.
…
Pu Qiongzhi is still sorting out the account books.
She personally handles the accounts of gold mining there.
She couldn't let others know the number, otherwise there would be a sword hanging over her head in the future!
Unexpectedly, when she finished cleaning and was about to throw it into the brazier to burn, her uncle suddenly came back.
"Uncle, have you calmed down?" Pu Qiongzhi glanced at his face.
I breathed a sigh of relief when I saw that he had regained his composure.
"My Lord, can you sit down quietly now and listen carefully to what I have to say?"
Nangong Hua felt a pain in his heart when he saw her cautious expression.
"I was too nervous and made you worry."
He took the initiative to speak first.
Pu Qiongzhi felt helpless.
He is such a soft person, he always apologizes first.
He obviously did nothing wrong, but he just couldn't bear to leave her.
"If you want to fight the Captain Princess, you'll have to use the prince in the Noble Concubine's belly."
"Noble Concubine Ru is my aunt, a member of the Nangong family, you can't get around her."
"Whether you conceal the gold mine or commit treason, rebellion, or regicide, I will fight you to the end!"
Nangong Hua said them one by one, and the listeners were terrified.
Pu Qiongzhi stared at Nangong Hua's eyes in a daze.
After a while, she couldn't help but ask, "But don't you just want to be a rich and idle person?"
"That's because you want to be a rich and idle person!" Nangong Hua didn't even think about it, "All I want to do is stand by your side!"
Pu Qiongzhi listened to him say everything without any care, and felt a little numb in her heart.
The twinkling lights in her eyes all reflected the appearance of Nangong Hua.
She couldn't help but step forward, cupped Nangong Hua's cheeks with both hands, and pressed her lips against his.
"Madam, this is against the rules... Don't look at it if it's inappropriate... Don't..."
The clothes and skirts were scattered, and the red waves rolled over overnight, and the spring scenery filled the window...
…
"My dear husband, I feel as if the branches in my heart have blossomed for you."
"Madam, you are the moon that I follow in this life. Today the moonlight shines on me."
