There would be no need to worry about money to rebuild Tingyun Temple. Who would have thought that these two people would ask him to pay them 30,000 taels of silver right in front of him?
Thirty thousand taels, how dare you even think of that?
Why don't they just rob it?
Or has the Prince An's mansion fallen so low that it has to resort to extorting money from others?
No wonder they wanted to send Xu Qingshi to their Zhou family.
Thinking of this, Old Madam Zhou glared angrily at the two men and rebuked them, "Have you no shame? Thirty thousand taels of silver? Why don't you just rob us?"
Xu Heming looked at Zhu Jingchen, raised an eyebrow, and said, "She's insulting you!"
Xu Heming watched Zhu Jingchen with amusement, thinking to himself, "This old woman has some nerve; she even dares to insult the Emperor."
"He was clearly insulting you." Zhu Jingchen rolled his eyes inwardly. He wasn't stupid; Xu Heming was obviously trying to get him to stand up for him.
What a joke! He's the one who married someone else's daughter, and now they're taking their anger out on him and him. What kind of relationship is this?
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingchen sat down to watch the show.
Zhu Hanyu, standing to the side, was very puzzled. The old woman was clearly cursing his father and Prince An, so why were his father and Uncle Prince An still arguing about it?
Besides, shouldn't Father Emperor and Uncle Prince An be on the same side?
"Father, Uncle An, she was clearly cursing both of you!" Zhu Hanyu said with some dissatisfaction.
The two wanted to argue a few more words, but suddenly they were stunned.
Yes, the old woman is scolding them.
The two looked at each other and saw anger in each other's eyes. Were they cursing them?
"Madam Zhou, is that right? You say your courtyard was burned down by my son? Produce the evidence, and I'll have the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review come to verify it. If it really was my son who burned it down, I'll have the Ministry of Revenue come and help your Zhou family repair it properly. Don't tell me what courtyard it was again?" Zhu Jingchen talked for a long time but couldn't remember the name of the courtyard. After all, he only saw a pile of ashes and didn't see the name.
You can't blame him for not remembering.
"Master, it's Tingyun Courtyard," Eunuch Liu cautiously reminded him from the side.
"Oh, right, Tingyun Courtyard. I'll have the Ministry of Revenue rebuild it properly, and then repair your Zhou family's place as well." Zhu Jingchen now spoke with more confidence, as the national treasury was no longer empty.
Madam Zhou had never seen the Emperor's divine eyes before, and at this moment, she did not know that the person in front of her was the Emperor.
They assumed that Xu Heming had brought in some people who were just trying to appear wealthy.
However, upon hearing that he was from the Court of Judicial Review on his left and the Ministry of Revenue on his right, he looked at Zhu Jingchen with utter disdain.
He thought that the Court of Judicial Review and the Ministry of Revenue were his own private property.
Can he just invite someone whenever he wants?
"You really don't know your place. Do you think the Dali Temple can be sent just because you order it to? And the Ministry of Revenue?" Old Madam Zhou looked at Zhu Jingchen and thought to herself, this man has a small official position, but he has a big mouth.
They're not afraid of stuffing themselves to death.
At this moment, Zhou Changfeng only dared to wait anxiously at the door for Zhou Zhonghe to return.
In the past, Zhou Changfeng had only seen the emperor's face from afar. At that time, he could only vaguely make out the emperor's dragon robe from a distance, and he couldn't remember anything else.
Now that Zhu Jingchen was right in front of him, Zhou Changfeng didn't even consider the possibility that Zhu Jingchen was the emperor.
"Have someone invite Fang Deyou over later, let this old lady see if I can order him around!" Zhu Jingchen felt that his authority had been challenged by this old lady.
Isn't it just a small square?
Can't he call him over yet?
