Chapter 125: Why do you steal petty things? If you want to steal, steal big things.

[Oh, oh no, why is it my father who is here? ]

[I hope all my gold will not be confiscated. ]

When Lu Li saw Lu Yan, her face suddenly fell.

Lu Yanshi:?

It turned out that he had been worrying about the child in the palace for a long time, but she didn't want to see him.

"Do you know how many people you scared by running around today?" Lu Yanshi scolded his daughter with a stern face.

"I was wrong." Lu Li pointed at her finger and admitted her mistake pitifully.

She pointed at the gold with a pained look on her face, "Give it to my eldest sister, to my father, to my mother, and the rest to Xiaojiu."

Lu Yanshi was so angry at her that he almost laughed out loud.

This little girl thought she could fool him with gold, right?

Lu Li quietly glanced at Lu Yanshi, and seeing that he didn't say anything, she walked over to him in small steps, tugged at the corner of his clothes, and said in a baby voice, "Father, don't be angry."

"Take these two away for interrogation." Lu Yanshi hardened his heart and ignored her, ordering people to take Liang Feiying and his brother away.

"And let's count how much gold we have."

This was obtained by Lu Li. Lu Yanshi did not ask officials from the Ministry of Revenue to count it, but instead ordered people to go to the palace to find An Miaoyi and ask her to send someone to count the money.

I didn’t expect that the person who came was Lu Linlang.

"Ninth sister, are you okay?" Lu Linlang looked worried.

"I'm fine." Lu Li agreed obediently.

"Your son pays his respects to the Emperor." After greeting his ninth sister, Lu Linlang remembered that his father was still beside him, and he quickly bowed.

Lu Yanshi frowned. Is it okay for Concubine Min to send Xiaoqi alone?

"Seventh sister, please help me count how much money there is." Lu Li looked at Lu Linlang in a flattering manner.

"No problem, leave it to me." Lu Linlang took Ninth Sister's hand and took her to check the stolen money.

The people who came opened the box and checked, and found that this group of people were very stingy. They only put gold on the top two layers, and the bottom was all silver.

The eunuchs who were counting the gold and silver began to report the numbers one by one, separately.

Lu Yanshi had a headache after listening to this. He looked at Lu Linlang who stood aside and listened without bringing anything, and a trace of worry rose in his heart.

"Xiao Qi, do you want me to get you an abacus?"

"No need." Lu Linlang shook her head.

The eunuch who was counting the silver stopped when he heard the emperor speak.

Lu Linlang frowned slightly, "One hundred and forty-seven taels of gold, two thousand one hundred and fifteen taels of silver. Why did you stop? Keep reporting."

The young eunuch hurriedly continued to count.

Lu Yanshi’s eyes widened. What? His seventh daughter was actually a math genius?

Can you do so many mental calculations without an abacus?

He secretly ordered someone to go to the Imperial College and pick out a mathematics teacher to use an abacus to check whether Lu Linlang had made any mistakes in his calculations.

"Father, the total is one thousand taels of gold and thirty-six thousand four hundred and fifty-five taels of silver." Lu Linlang reported the final figures.

The abacus of the Imperial College was almost broken, and the final result was exactly the same as Lu Linlang's.

Lu Yanshi was shocked.

Lu Li also showed an admiring look: "Seventh Sister, you are so amazing."

"That's nothing. When my mother and I were playing mahjong, she always miscalculated my money on purpose. I've practiced this a long time ago. Not to mention this small amount, I wouldn't miscalculate even hundreds of thousands." Lu Linlang raised her chin proudly.

This little money???

Lu Yanshi suffered a severe blow.

How much mahjong did Concubine Min play in the palace to allow this child to count tens of thousands of silver coins so easily?

“Alright, these are what the Ninth Princess won, send them back to Weiyang Palace.” Lu Yanshi waved his hands weakly.

"Long live father!" Lu Li jumped up excitedly.

Great, all the money is hers.

Back at Weiyang Palace, Lu Heng rushed over and hugged her.

"Wuwuwu, sister, you scared me to death. I thought I would never see you again."

[The third brother is such a crybaby, he cries every day, he doesn't act like a man at all. ]

Lu Li looked at Lu Heng, who was crying with snot and tears, and felt a little disgusted.

Lu Heng's crying stopped abruptly.

Xia Shuyi pushed him away, picked up her daughter, and slapped her butt a few times in anger.

"You kid, you actually ran around. Your mother is worried to death about you, do you know that?" Her eyes were red and tears fell uncontrollably.

"Mother, I was wrong." Seeing her mother's sad look, Lu Li quickly reached out to wipe her tears.

"Mother, I'll give it to you. All the gold is yours." Lu Li panicked and tried to find a way to appease her mother.

Xia Shuyi was both angry and amused, and in the end, all her words turned into a kiss.

She kissed her daughter's forehead and said, "Good girl, don't do this again. You've frightened your mother."

"Yeah, I won't do that again." Lu Li raised her hand and swore hastily.

Lu Yao and her brother breathed a sigh of relief when they learned that Lu Li had been found.

While Lu Jing was glad that she was safe, he was also glad that he had not yet told his father that he could hear the Ninth Princess's thoughts. Otherwise, his father would definitely settle accounts with him later.

"Ninth Princess, you really scared us to death." The two blurted out at the same time when they saw Lu Li.

"I'm sorry." Lu Li apologized awkwardly, and then ordered someone to fetch 12,000 taels of silver.

"Imperial elder sister, here, add some makeup to you."

Lu Yao widened his eyes and stared at her in disbelief.

The ninth sister, who loved money like her life, actually gave her so much silver.

"You are my younger sister, and how can I, as your elder sister, accept your things?" Lu Yao felt warm in her heart, but still declined.

"Take it. You'll need it." Lu Li was firm.

"Xiaojiu has asked for it, so just accept it. You know, it's rare for her to be so generous." Xia Shuyi smiled.

"Also give mother ten thousand taels." Lu Li chuckled and looked at her ingratiatingly.

The queen spoke up, and Lu Yao accepted the money.

She decided to use the money on agriculture in the spring. Her research had yielded some results. If the experimental fields could be planted successfully, the grain production per mu could at least double after the summer.

She was looking forward to this day very much.

"Brother, I'm sorry for making you worry." Lu Li felt guilty when she learned that Lu Jing was scolded because of her.

Let the palace maid give him one thousand taels of silver.

Lu Jing refused at first, but the queen told him to accept it, so he had to accept it. He decided to use the 1,000 taels of silver to make pants for his brothers in the navy!

"Ninth sister, what about me? How much will you give me? I was worried about you today too." Lu Heng also came over with eager eyes.

Lu Li frowned, thought for a moment, and took out a silver peanut from the box.

"Here you go."

Lu Heng was shocked.

The eldest sister and the queen mother each had 10,000 taels of silver, and even the eldest brother got 1,000 taels, so why did he only get a silver peanut?

"Xiaojiu, you are being unfair." He looked at the Ninth Princess aggrievedly.

He was obviously worried about her too.

"You don't need money." Lu Li argued.

Xia Shuyi laughed out loud at her childish words, and the atmosphere in Weiyang Palace became cheerful again.

After interrogating the Liang Feiying brothers, Lu Yanshi discovered that they were the famous Shenshouying and Miaoshoukong. He immediately became interested and recruited them.

People like this only do petty thefts. If they want to steal, they'd rather steal big things.

For example, confidential documents from other countries.
