Chapter 100 Name
Fu Ruhai's bottom line is to use half of his family fortune to protect his and Mo's lives.
As for Fu Ronger, he didn't believe that Concubine Xian could really watch her and Prince Huai being exiled to Ninggu Pagoda.
"You still believe in Concubine Xian even now? What did she say when Rong'er entered Prince Huai's mansion? How is she treating the two of them now?"
"As for Xiao Qi's matter, when I didn't agree, Concubine Xian was aggressive. When I didn't agree to the dowry, she just pretended not to hear it and even wanted me to be willing to carry the people."
"No matter how wealthy a merchant is, they are all like ants in the eyes of the royal family. But the way Concubine Xian eats is too ugly."
Mrs. Mo did not throw the teacup or slam the table.
She just looked into Fu Ruhai's eyes and questioned him word by word.
"Also, since Concubine Xian was able to dethrone me from the position of imperial concubine, I have no luck in sitting on that position. Her words can no longer be trusted."
Mo's series of questions instantly weakened Fu Ruhai's persistence.
Yes, back then, he and Concubine Xian's brother, Marquis Cheng'en, drank and talked every day, pretending to be cultured...
Because of this relationship, the Fu family also received an invitation to the flower-viewing banquet at the Cheng'en Marquis' Mansion.
As soon as Concubine Xian saw Fu Rong'er, she liked her very much and took the initiative to propose a marriage between the two. Prince Huai also asked for an imperial decree to grant the marriage.
......
Clinging to the imperial power is the best and fastest way for merchants to improve their status.
Even if he knew the purpose of Concubine Xiaoxian's marriage with the Fu family, Fu Ruhai would not mind.
Since ancient times, anyone who wanted to curry favor with the imperial power, whether an official or a businessman, had to pay a price.
But Fu Rong'er has been in Prince Huai's mansion for eight years without a child. Prince Huai is imprisoned, and Concubine Xian turns to help Prince Ning to support the Fu family...
To Prince Huai, it did seem cold and indifferent.
But maybe Concubine Xian has her own considerations?
"What I mean is, Concubine Xian wouldn't really want Prince Huai to be exiled to Ninggu Pagoda with his family, right?"
Fu Ruhai tentatively expressed his thoughts.
"I think you've been drinking too much with that Marquis Cheng'en these years, and your brain has been damaged. If Concubine Xian is still in charge of Prince Huai, why do you think she has set her sights on Xiao Qi for Prince Ning?"
If it weren't for the younger generation Fu Song, Mrs. Mo really wanted to poke Fu Ruhai on the head with her hand.
See if it's time to let the water out of his head.
"Father, mother is right. The reason why Concubine Xian chose the fourth sister back then and the reason why she chose the seventh sister now are the same."
When Fu Song saw that Fu Ruhai's expression had eased a little, he knew that his mind had softened.
He immediately came to Mo's aid.
"You mean, Concubine Xian will fully support Prince Ning and completely abandon Prince Huai?"
Fu Ruhai frowned.
He didn't expect that Concubine Xian valued profit over feelings even more than Shang Jia.
"Yes, father, do you see that no matter who Xianpin abandons or protects, it will harm the interests of the Fu family."
Fu Song nodded without hesitation.
The truth that Fu Ruhai is unwilling to believe is completely revealed.
"And this time, Concubine Xian did not give up Prince Huai on her own initiative, but was unable to save him. Since she couldn't even save her own son, why do you believe that she can save the Fu family?"
Seeing that Fu Ruhai's face had completely drooped, Mrs. Mo added fuel to the fire.
Silly old man, it’s time to wake up from this dream you’ve been dreaming for half your life.
Being the prince's father-in-law is a waste of money if you are good at it, but it costs your life if you are not good at it.
"But Prince Ning will come to carry Xiao Qi into the palace at 9:00 p.m. tomorrow. What should we do about this?"
Under the double attack from the Mo family and Fu Song, Fu Ruhai finally figured it out.
Fu Ronger is his daughter. He cannot be as cold-hearted as Concubine Xian. He has to save her.
But how can we resolve tomorrow's crisis?
"You are the head of the family. Shouldn't you solve this problem?"
Seeing that Fu Ruhai's brain was full of nonsense, Mrs. Mo deliberately confronted him.
“I…I…”
Fu Ruhai didn't understand that Mo was criticizing him.
But he really didn't know how to deal with King Ning.
"As a person, the most important thing is to know yourself. It's not good for you to waver like this."
Mrs. Mo rolled her eyes at him and ignored him.
Fu Ruhai: "You..."
You are right, don't say it again.
He finally understood the meaning of Mrs. Mo's words.
The Fu family relies on the prince, so why would they care about Prince Ning?
The three of them reached a consensus and began to sort out their own business in the study overnight.
House deeds, land deeds, banknotes, and lists of various warehouses...
......
After Qiu Gu chased out of Fu's house, he soon spotted Suo Liuyuan.
He is the commander of the Eastern Palace guards and a former martial arts champion.
Compared to him, Suo Liuyuan's fighting power was indeed inferior.
"Commander Qiu, stop chasing us. We are one of them."
As soon as Suo Liuyuan escaped to a deserted alley, he was caught by Qiu Gu.
Their top bosses are close, so they naturally know each other.
It was just that he was caught by Qiu Gu, and Suo Liuyuan was afraid of being laughed at by his brothers, so he tried desperately to run away.
"One of our own? Then why don't you show up?"
Qiu Gu recognized Suo Liuyuan's voice and stopped.
"There is a reason for not showing up. This is the rule of the Dali Temple when handling cases."
Suo Liuyuan put away the panic he showed when escaping and put on the evil expression unique to a death-seeker, intending to scare Qiu Gu.
"The Dali Temple is handling the case?"
Qiu Gu seemed to be thinking about something.
Prince Huai is still imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and keeping an eye on the Fu family seems to be somehow related to the investigation.
"yes."
Suo Liuyuan saw that Qiu Gu's expression had eased and his tone became serious.
"What happened tonight..."
This alley is not safe, so Qiu Gu did not say it explicitly.
"Each serves his own master and there is no conflict."
Suo Liuyuan looked serious and solemn.
But in my heart I had already complained a lot.
"You are a warrior with a dull mind. If it weren't for me, you would have worked all night but still not understood what the Crown Prince meant."
"No conflict?"
Qiu Gu didn't believe it, but he knew that the population in the Dali Temple was tense.
"Well, no conflict at all."
Suo Liuyuan nodded, turned around and left gracefully.
That direction was the opposite of the Fu family's.
Qiu Gu did not chase him anymore, but jumped onto the wall beside him, and after several jumps, he returned to Fu's house.
After he entered the study, Suo Wulin, who had been squatting on the roof of the main courtyard of the Fu family, quietly sneaked into the shadow on one side of the roof of the study.
"My dear nephew, this is 80% of my Fu family's assets. Look..."
Fu Song packed all the things that the three of them had been busy sorting out for half the night into a sandalwood box.
In addition to land deeds, house deeds and banknotes, there is also a warehouse list.
"Shall I ask someone to bring it to the palace and hand it over to the Emperor?"
Qiu Gu looked at the sandalwood box in front of him and wanted to scratch his head again.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only told him to complete the task, but he didn't tell him how to complete it?
When he saw the box, he thought of Yu Jinming, who was the only one who could enter the palace to meet the emperor without being summoned.
But will he take the box?
Qiu Gu was unsure.
"My dear nephew, this is inappropriate."
Fu Song wanted to raise his forehead.
How can this be handed over directly to the Emperor?
It would be better to be exiled directly.
They all knew that they had to donate their wealth to take the blame, but they couldn't do it openly.
So, we need to think of a suitable name.
And give this box to the right person.
"Then leave it to Master Yu."
Qiu Gu thought about it. Anyway, he only knew that Yu Jinming could see the emperor the fastest.
Moreover, Chu Chengyi told him that this matter must be settled before noon.
Otherwise, he would have to go back to Shatin Estate to continue fattening his eggs.
If you give it to Yu Jinming, he can get it done by the morning hour.
Because all officials went to court at the hour of Mao, Yu Jinming also had to enter the palace.
"Well, it would be better to give it to Lord Yu and say that this is the money donated by the Fu family to help the disaster victims in Jingzhou rebuild their homes."
Fu Song thought for a long time and could only come up with this name.
Although the Jingzhou flood happened several months ago, disaster relief efforts are still ongoing.
Moreover, the case of embezzlement of disaster relief funds and supplies has not been closed.
Donating silver at this time does not seem out of place.
Suo Wulin on the rooftop listened to the conversation inside the house and was even more anxious than Suo Liuyuan before.
How can I hand this thing directly to his boss?
Isn't that a case of trying to cover up one's own guilt?
Prince Huai was imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and the Fu family sent a box of family property to the Dali Temple Minister.
If this gets out, how can we explain it clearly?
well!
It turns out that none of the Crown Prince's subordinates are not bald.
