"It's just that human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
Gu Qingchen looked at these names and murmured, "I'll send someone to keep an eye on them. I'll always be able to find some clues."
After sorting out his thoughts, Gu Qingchen was about to get up and leave when Jiang Li grabbed his hand.
"What's wrong?"
"Send someone to keep an eye on him? Wu Youjin is more clever than a squid now. We can't just keep watching him without eating, drinking or sleeping."
"So Ahri means... a city-wide wanted notice?"
Jiang Li nodded and shook her head, "Yes and no."
"Well, you go ahead and do it your way. I still need to prepare. I'll tell you when I have news."
Gu Qingchen was confused by Jiang Li's riddle, but he knew Jiang Li. Since she said that, she must have her own plans.
He held the woman's hand and said with a smile: "With such a virtuous wife, what more could a husband ask for?"
Jiang Li snorted lightly, "Who told you to give me all your family fortune? With so much money, I have to find a way to spend it."
"You big liar, you're so rich, yet you still dare to trick me into supporting you."
Hearing Jiang Li's coquettish words, Gu Qingchen knew that she had looked around the warehouse and was angry about what she said last night.
Gu Qingchen grabbed the woman's slender waist and held her on his lap.
He gently pinched the flesh on the woman's cheek and said, "Spend it, spend it as much as you can. Why do men need to earn money? Isn't it to give it to the woman they love? If you don't spend it, then what's the point of me earning money?"
"You're showing off, Prince Jingling."
While Gu Qingchen's index finger was touching her lips, Jiang Li bit it.
"hiss--"
The man was numbed by this wonderful feeling for a moment. Seeing Jiang Li's triumphant smile, he said helplessly, "Okay, what I mean is that you don't have to worry about making money. You just need to do whatever you want to do."
Hearing this, Jiang Li was suddenly stunned.
It turns out that he knew everything.
Reaching out to hug the man's neck and leaning on his shoulder, Jiang Li said in a deep voice: "But what I want to do is really a bit of a waste of money."
Ever since she listened to what her father and brothers told her about the battlefield and the miserable lives people suffered every time war broke out, Jiang Li had an idea.
She wanted all soldiers to receive timely medical treatment, wanted the elderly who sent their children to the front lines to have a decent life in their old age, and she wanted all children to have books to read, just like the world she once lived in.
As long as the warriors of Daning stand firm, and as long as the young men of the next generation rise up, Daning will one day become a great nation that will be visited by all directions, and its people will finally live and work in peace and contentment, no longer troubled by war.
"Then I will try harder."
///
The next day.
Just after finishing breakfast, the steward came to report that Prince Zhuang had come again.
Gu Qingchen already knew how Jiang Li had turned people away yesterday.
"Are you going to see him today?"
In fact, he rarely interacted with his cousin Prince Zhuang.
If it weren't for the matter involving Princess Jingyi, he would only see him once a year at the palace banquet at the end of the year.
"Go. He came to apologize to me, so of course I have to go."
After reading the information Mo Qi gave her yesterday, Jiang Li was now extremely curious about the newcomer.
As a prince, he doesn't want a fiefdom, doesn't get involved in court affairs, and rarely attends social events. He has lived in the capital like an invisible man for so many years. It's really, really interesting.
Front yard, main hall.
When Prince Zhuang saw the perfect couple coming hand in hand, he quickly stood up.
"Meet Prince Jingling and Princess Jingling."
Jiang Li looked at the person who came.
He was not tall, but had a decent appearance. He was wearing a light blue brocade robe, which made him look deep and steady.
After seeing her and Gu Qingchen, he immediately bowed, his eyebrows slightly lowered, and a slight smile on his face.
He doesn't have the slightest bit of princely airs.
"Brother Zhuang Wang, you are too polite. Please sit down and talk."
Although Gu Qingchen is much younger than Prince Zhuang, he is the legitimate son of the late emperor after all, and has real power in his hands. It can be said that although they are both princes, the meanings are completely different.
Therefore, in front of Gu Qingchen, Prince Zhuang's status is still much lower.
"I heard yesterday that my sister-in-law was ill. I wonder if she's getting better?"
Jiang Li didn't miss the surprise in Prince Zhuang's eyes when he first saw her. She smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Prince Zhuang. I'm a doctor. I can cure you with just one dose of medicine."
What I mean is, you don't have to test me. If I say I'm sick, then I'm sick.
Prince Zhuang was silent for a moment.
Then he said, "That's good. It was my fault that day that I disturbed my sister-in-law. I came here today to apologize to my sister-in-law."
The emperor has already decided how to punish this matter.
His visit to Prince Jingling's mansion was nothing more than a formality. Jiang Li would naturally not make things difficult for him in front of Prince Jingling. Prince Zhuang knew this very well and was only thinking about how to trick Jiang Li into his trap later.
"I have a question, but I'm not sure if I should ask it or not."
Prince Zhuang was caught off guard by Jiang Li's reaction. He quickly concealed the calculating look in his eyes and said, "Sister-in-law, please feel free to speak."
"I heard that Prince Zhuang has been married for so many years and has never taken a concubine. Since you and Princess Zhuang are so in love, how could you be so negligent in educating the children in your house?"
"Brother Prince Zhuang, please don't blame me for being nosy. You know that Prince Jingling and I have been married for a short time and we will have children in the future. As the ancients said, there is always a teacher among three people. There are some pitfalls that should be avoided. Don't you agree?"
Prince Zhuang: “…”
I wonder if Jiang Li's mouth is like poison to his food? His words are so poisonous.
They regard him as a negative example and indirectly criticize him for not being able to teach children well.
"My dear sister-in-law, you may not know that since Jingyi was born, Jingyi's mother has been in poor health and has been bedridden all year round. She has no energy to teach her children." Prince Zhuang sighed, "That's why I have been staying in the mansion all these years and have no time to take care of other things."
"Everyone says that I am idle, but I believe that being able to always be with the one I love is what I care about most."
After saying this, Prince Zhuang took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and gently wiped the corners of his eyes.
"I didn't expect that Prince Zhuang and his wife would be so deeply in love," Jiang Li said with envy, and then looked at Gu Qingchen, "Your Highness, why didn't you tell me earlier? If I had known this, I would have gone to Prince Zhuang's mansion to treat my sister-in-law. I would have also asked for some tips on how to control her husband."
Gu Qingchen pursed his lips slightly. When he saw Jiang Li's expression, he knew that she was acting again.
Although he didn't know what Jiang Li meant, he immediately responded, "It's my fault. I've been so busy with court affairs that I didn't realize how sad Brother Zhuang was all these years..."
Prince Zhuang waved his hand. "Compared to the affairs of the court, these are trivial matters. Besides, the imperial physician examined him before and said that he could only be kept on a suspensory bed with medicine. Since this is the case, with me watching over him day and night, why should I tell others about it?"
"No, no, since he's been bedridden for years, how can it be a small matter? It's absolutely unwise to hide your illness and avoid seeing a doctor." Jiang Li quickly advised, "It's better to do it today than to wait for another day. How about I go with Brother Zhuang Wang to see my sister-in-law later?"
Prince Zhuang's expression changed slightly. He took a sip from the teacup beside him and said in a deep voice, "Well, I won't bother you, sister-in-law."
