Honghui imitated the conversation between the Tenth Prince and Yinzhen, which made Yihua laugh for a long time.
"Fourth Brother, I don't know when my salary will be deducted, so I had no choice but to borrow money. I can't pay it back." The Tenth Prince directly resorted to shamelessness. Could Yinzhen, as his older brother, force him to do so?
Yinzhen was not Kangxi, and he didn't buy into that: "If a prince breaks the law, he shall be punished the same as a commoner."
The Tenth Prince stared wide-eyed at Yinzhen's serious expression, momentarily dumbfounded. "No way, Fourth Brother and I are serious? But I really can't come up with that much silver."
