The crown prince got the news and rushed over, waiting anxiously. When he saw him coming, he quickly asked, "What happened?"

"Your Highness..." Qi Wu stood there, not knowing where to start. He felt wronged, aggrieved, angry, ashamed, furious, and hateful. His face turned red and white.

"What's wrong? Tell me quickly!" The Crown Prince became even more anxious when he saw his expression.

"I have something personal to ask for your help, Your Highness."

"Tell me about it!"

"Do you have any money? Lend me some... I need it urgently... Okay, I'll pay you back in a while."

"Oh!" His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, whose face was cleaner than his pocket, looked at Qi Wu helplessly. It was true: whatever the king was afraid of, he wanted.

"It'll only take a while, otherwise we won't be able to live like this." Qi Wu sat down, feeling very frustrated.

Although the prince had no money, it did not stop him from watching the fun. "Don't worry, tell me what's wrong. I'll make a decision for you." His tone was gentle and his expression was steady. He looked very trustworthy.

The Crown Prince basically knew everything about Qin Lianyue's affairs.

"Yesterday..." Qi Wu told what happened yesterday.

The crown prince frowned and said, "Is Qin Dongshi crazy? Why did she tell people this? Does she not want to live anymore? She wants to be put into a pig cage!?"

Qi Wu broke out in a sweat again when he heard this. If she put him in a pig cage, his reputation would be ruined! Would Wen Yu spare him? Who did she offend? He hated her so much that his face was filled with annoyance: "Who knows! She must have gone crazy! I thought about how much she and her daughter had taken care of me for so many years, and I didn't care about these material things, but now she is throwing dirty water on me!"

"Just kill her!" The Crown Prince's face looked extremely ugly.

“…Your Highness!”

"I'm serious. If this gets out, Jiang Er, that living bastard, won't go crazy? If he comes after you, won't you be embarrassed?"

"Your Highness! What does this have to do with me?" Qi Wu was anxious.

"Why not?"

"Those things happened before I met him. After they got engaged, I never had any contact with her again..." Qi Wu thought again, it's not... I saw her once in Tianlong Temple!

Isn't it her? Let someone look for her! It's so annoying! The prince didn't know what he was thinking, but he analyzed: "I told you at the time that it was fine if the marriage didn't work out, but the matter had to be settled! It had to be done cleanly, but you didn't listen!"

He did say that! Qi Wu regretted it so much that he wanted to hit himself a few times, "Who would have thought that this crazy woman would be so inexplicable?"

Now, Qin Lianyue, who was like the bright moon in the sky and always needed someone to protect her, had become, in Qi Wu's heart, an old lantern that was about to burn out on the flower boat on the Qinhuai River.

But Wen Yu has become his roots, his family. He is only afraid of hurting and losing the treasure...

"Now that I think about it, I'm really sorry to Ah Yu. I didn't mention this before, and after we got married, I didn't give her any money or gifts... It's normal for her to be unhappy. I can understand why she didn't let me sleep with her..."

Poor Qi Wu, to make matters worse, he slipped up.

"What? She won't let you get in bed!? This woman!" The prince jumped up excitedly. "She dares!? You coward, she dares to do this to you, and you don't punish her!? You are her husband, you know? You are her god!"

The crown prince said in great sorrow, "You, you are Qi Wulang, and you married her..." He walked back and forth like a trapped beast, gesticulating, "That's smoke rising from the Wen family's ancestral graves! How can it be said that she is marrying above her station?!"

He was so angry that his chest hurt.

"Look, what did I say! At first, she was satisfied to marry you. But after marrying you, she asked for money and other things again. She is never satisfied! Is the monthly salary given to you by the Qi family in her hands?!"

Qi Wu nodded woodenly.

"Isn't that settled?! Your mother gave the shop to her before she even got married! What else does she want? What do you care?! I tell you, you can't give her anything! You can't let her lead you by the nose. Otherwise... you will have to listen to her in the future. Then she won't let you take a concubine, she won't let you..." The prince didn't think of anything else for a moment.

He blushed.

The prince looked at him warily, "What did she do to you?"

"No, no." Qi Wu denied.

"Really?! You are not allowed to lie to me!" The prince didn't believe it.

"Your Highness, how dare I lie to you!" Qi Wu said helplessly.

The grandson narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, "Shh... Xiaowu, this... is not right! Could it be that Wen Yu is deceiving you? If Qin Dongshi is not really crazy, she would not tell these things to others! If she had told others, the capital would have been in an uproar long ago. How could it be possible that you just heard about it from someone else now? No! She must be deceiving you!"

"But Your Highness, I was indeed engaged to Qin Dongshi... and I gave her money and gifts, but I didn't ask for them back! When the Qin mother and daughter arrived in the capital, my mother ignored them and broke up with them. Wen Yu didn't even know about this engagement. How come she went to a banquet and brought this up when she came back? Who else could it be if not Qin Lianyue who said this?"

"I think... this matter was caused by Qin Lianyue. But Wen Yu must have heard this news from somewhere else. By the way, didn't you give her the private account? It was from the private account!"

Qi Wu shook his head: "I asked Zhang Cai later, and he said that there was no name in the account. He was afraid that the account book would be seen by others, so he just used a special mark. If he didn't ask, it would be impossible to connect it with Qin Lianyue! She didn't ask the couple either!"

"What's going on? This Wen Yu is really amazing!" The Crown Prince couldn't figure it out.

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I was thinking, didn't she say I didn't give her any money? Then I'll give her some and she'll be fine. Your Highness, lend me some!"

In fact, Qi Wu had given the Crown Prince a lot of money. He also gave a lot when he came back from the south last time...

As a result, the prince shook his head and said, "I don't have any money!"

"How could that be?! At least a little bit will do!"

"Don't you know what I am like? Silver, come in and go out. What you gave me is... it's not enough!"

He had to do things, investigate things, support people, and win over people. Ever since he started working, he had been poor and always short of money.

My mother is in charge of my father's storehouse and income.

Before my mother started working in the front study, she was the only son of hers, so she was extremely generous with her money, regardless of how it was spent.

However, ever since she entered the front study and started working...

I am getting worse day by day towards myself.

It's not that she won't give it to him if he asks her for money, but he must tell her what it's for. He even wants to find someone to keep an eye on it. Not only that, she even wants to keep an eye on it.

It's true, power is unrecognizable...

Looking at this poor master... Qi Wu finally felt that he was desperate and was trying every possible means. The crown prince was indeed poor.

The two of them were worried and kept thinking about it.

Finally, the crown prince slapped his thigh and said, "Last time, I used the gold and silver you gave me, as well as some calligraphy and jewelry. They should be useless. If they don't work, you can take them back to save the emergency!"

Two people ran to the side and opened the cabinet.

There were a few items scattered inside. Qi Wu didn't hesitate to take them away.

When he returned home and examined these things, they totaled only a few thousand taels... enough for a wealthy family to live on for two lifetimes. But for him...

Why am I so poor?!
