When Sheng Yuanhe saw that all his people had been reassigned, he was naturally unwilling and came up with various excuses to try to get Sheng Jingyu to replace them, but Sheng Jingyu rejected them all.
Even when the emperor had differing opinions, Sheng Jingyu would speak them out; he was like a mad dog, biting anyone who dared to approach him.
No one knows what happened yet, and they can't find the reason why Sheng Jingyu is so angry.
Su Wenyuan, who caused this situation, was currently in the mansion settling accounts with Su Xian.
Su Xian lost all the money in his hand again.
He borrowed money from Sun Gui a couple of days ago but hasn't paid it back. If he thinks about it carefully, he should have gambled away all the money he stole from Su Yuan.
He borrowed again this time in hopes of turning things around and repaying Su Yuan's debt.
Sun Gui was very generous and lent him a lot of money, even lowering the interest rate significantly.
However, all this silver ultimately belongs to him, whether it's interest or the profit from reselling jewelry.
Su Wenyuan did the math and found that she not only didn't lose money, but actually made a small profit.
Now all she has to do is wait for Su Xian to lose all his money, then she can collect the debt.
Su Xian truly didn't disappoint her at all. He went to the casino right after borrowing the money, and Sun Gui sent someone to follow him. In less than an hour, he lost it all…
When the news reached Prince Chen's residence, Su Wenyuan was so excited she wanted to have a few drinks.
"This huge house is mine now!"
Yuexiu was delighted and asked, "Are we moving back?"
"Where to move it?" Sheng Jingyu walked in, his face pale.
These words terrified Yuexiu, who shrank back and hid.
Su Wenyuan glared at her and said, "Where did this temper come from? Yuexiu, go to the kitchen and get some snacks, I'm hungry."
After Yuexiu left, Su Wenyuan said irritably, "Who in the court has offended you again?"
"I'm just a helpless prince, anyone can kick me while I'm down." Sheng Jingyu is lying through his teeth. He just came back from cursing people in court and then turned around to play the victim.
Su Wenyuan frowned and asked, "Why? Who?"
"There are many..." Sheng Jingyu replied perfunctorily.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's that he can't say it.
"By the way! If you want to take over the Su family, wait a couple more days. Tomorrow, Prince Jin will return to Qikong Kingdom. Let's wait until things calm down before we talk about it."
Su Wenyuan nodded in agreement, saying, "Okay, I also need to give Su Xian some time to make sure they really have no money left."
Meanwhile, Su Wenyuan was planning a trip to the palace.
During this time, she used the excuse of recuperating from her injuries to avoid going to the palace to pay her respects, mainly to make it easier for Sheng Jingyu to take advantage of her wounds.
Jin Kouhe and the others have left, and this matter is over. She should go out and take a look.
Sheng Jingyu comes home every day with a bad attitude. Is the Emperor and Empress bullying him again?
That evening, Empress Yuan suddenly came to visit.
Su Wenyuan frowned and asked, "His old tricks don't work anymore, why are you still using them?"
Meng Qi yawned and said, "I don't know. The prince has already gone to the front hall and asked me to ask the princess if she wants to go and see him."
"Go and take a look. It's not worth getting tricked again before you leave." Su Wenyuan was genuinely worried about Empress Yuan.
Upon arriving at the front hall, Su Wenyuan sensed that the atmosphere between the two was somewhat tense.
No one spoke, and everyone had cold faces.
Su Wenyuan stepped forward and asked, "We're setting off tomorrow, so why is Lord Yuan here tonight? Do you want to try the same failed plan again?"
When Empress Yuan saw Su Wenyuan, she unconsciously lowered her head, a sense of shame welling up from the bottom of her heart. She said in a low voice, "It's no use doing it again. I came here to ask for a few people."
As soon as he spoke, Su Wenyuan understood and exclaimed, "Those guards who were captured."
The most useful thing about those people was that they admitted in the hunting grounds that day that they were arranged by Jin Kouhe and their mission was to assassinate Su Wenyuan.
After that, he was kept locked up by Sheng Jingyu and never saw anyone.
Empress Yuan said, "Those people were arranged by the old prince for the crown prince. It's not appropriate for them to stay in Anchuan Kingdom like this. Although the matter is not completely resolved, it is mostly resolved."
"We don't need them to admit or identify anything. Please return the person to us, Princess Consort. We will give you an explanation when we get back."
They've all gone back, what explanation can we give her? Isn't that just nonsense?
Sheng Jingyu refused, saying, "No, I won't return it."
Their attitude was firm, leaving no room for compromise.
Su Wenyuan helplessly spread her hands and said, "He won't pay it back."
Empress Yuan took a deep breath and asked, "Then, Your Highness, can you return the person to me?"
He was very good at reading people and knew that Su Wenyuan could make the decision, so he decided to ask her directly.
Su Wenyuan retorted, "On what grounds?"
Empress Yuan said, "They were just a few unimportant guards. The matter has been clarified. It was indeed our Crown Prince who harbored evil intentions. If anyone should be punished, it should be the Crown Prince. Why do you two need to punish those unimportant people?"
Su Wenyuan asked, puzzled, "You said it yourself that it's not important, so what do you want? It's just a few people."
Although I don't know what use Sheng Jingyu has for it, I won't return it if I don't want to.
Empress Yuan said urgently, "They may not be important to you, but they grew up with the young master, and he has some feelings for them. Otherwise, tell me, what would it take for them to return them?"
Empress Yuan didn't want to come and ask for the people, but Jin Kouhe suddenly remembered yesterday and asked him for them.
It took him a lot of effort to persuade Jin Kouhe to give up the idea.
But today, Jin Kouhe started demanding these people again, and even said that if they weren't returned to him, he wouldn't leave tomorrow, and that if they had the guts, they should drag him back by force.
Empress Yuan was left with no choice but to come to Prince Chen's residence.
I knew they wouldn't pay me back before I even came, but I still had to try.
Upon hearing that conditions could be used to negotiate, Su Wenyuan asked Sheng Jingyu in a low voice what he thought.
Sheng Jingyu said, "I won't change them. They are the old prince's men, and they have already found out a lot about Qikong Kingdom."
The old prince was a hero of the restoration of the kingdom. Thirty years ago, he followed the emperor of Qikong Kingdom in battles across the country. Having been in Qikong Kingdom for so many years, he knew a lot and had many tasks assigned to his subordinates.
Jin Kouhe suddenly wanted people because, besides having some feelings for them, the most important reason was that he had thought of this.
More than ten days have passed, and Jin Kouhe only just remembered it; his reaction was quite slow.
Upon hearing Sheng Jingyu say it would be useful, Su Wenyuan became even less likely to repay the debt.
She said insincerely, "It's just a few people. If I were to negotiate with Lord Yuan because of these few people, it would seem too petty of me."
"But we can't return these people to you no matter what. After all, they intended to kill me. If I release them, what will happen if other villains follow suit and use the name of Qikong Kingdom to assassinate me?"
Before Empress Yuan could even understand what she meant, she started to have a headache.
Sheng Jingyu refused outright, without giving any reason.
Su Wenyuan would say those high-sounding words, but the result was the same: she would never pay back the money.
