Chapter 25 Hole
Prince Xuan's Palace.
Xiao Jinxuan is making arrangements for the reception of the Western Chu delegation.
"The delegation will arrive in Beijing in half a month, and the Blue Dragon Camp and the White Tiger Camp will go to welcome them then..."
As he was speaking, a figure rushed in hurriedly and sat down on the armchair.
"Quick, quick, pour me a glass of water! I'm dying of thirst!"
The servant immediately brought tea, and Princess Yunheng drank it up in one gulp, then breathed a sigh of relief.
"You go down first." Xiao Jinxuan waved his hand and asked all his subordinates to leave.
His eyes turned and fell on Princess Yunheng's face, "Did she take the things?"
Princess Yunheng chuckled, "How could she not accept the gift from the young uncle? Not only did she accept it, she also treated it as a treasure, loved it so much that she said she wanted to find a place to keep it!"
As for her desperate request to Xie Zhuoning to accept the hairpin, it was too embarrassing and she naturally ignored it.
Hearing that Xie Zhuoning liked it very much, Xiao Jinxuan's facial features relaxed and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, "So what else did she say?"
She said that she accepted the Phoenix Tail Footstool and asked His Royal Highness Prince Xuan not to send it to her again in the future.
But how can I tell this to the little uncle?
Princess Yunheng racked her brains and managed to come up with a sentence, "Sister Ning said that the young uncle will send a hairpin next time and asked me to deliver it."
This way, she can go play with Xie Zhuoning again!
But Xiao Jinxuan looked at her deeply, as if he could see through the little thoughts in her heart.
After a long while, he slowly spoke, "I understand. It's getting late. I'll have someone take you back to the palace."
Princess Yunheng took two steps and stepped back, asking a question she had been holding back for a long time, "Little uncle, are you trying to snatch my wife from my brother?"
If she doesn't get to the bottom of this matter, she won't be able to sleep when she goes back!
Compete with the prince for his wife?
It's a pity that she could come up with such a ridiculous idea!
Xiao Jinxuan held his forehead in silence, "It's just that I promised someone, so I don't want to break my promise. Don't think too much about it."
"Have you promised?" Princess Yunheng pinched her chin. "Which man in this world would promise to give a woman ten hairpins for no reason?"
If it weren't for Cat Gut, her name would be written backwards!
Xiao Jinxuan: “…”
Xie Zhuoning was crying pitifully at that time. How could he pay attention to all these things just to comfort her?
By the time you realize that your reaction is inappropriate, the words have already been said. How can you break your promise?
Seeing Princess Yunheng's inquiring expression becoming more intense, he frowned and said, "It seems that you don't want your foal anymore!"
"Yes, yes. I won't say much!" Princess Yunheng quickly covered her mouth, indicating that she would keep her mouth shut.
When she was a child, she broke her leg while riding a horse, and her mother never allowed her to ride a horse again.
This time the young uncle asked her for help and allowed her to make any request she wanted. She took the opportunity to ask for a foal, but she couldn't let it be taken back again.
"But..."
Before leaving, Princess Yunheng turned around and squinted her eyes, "I think, little uncle, you and Sister Ning are a good match."
A gentleman is like jade, a beauty is like a flower, it is so pleasing to the eyes when they stand together.
Anyway, everyone in the world knows that the emperor's heart and eyes are all about the saint Bai Yingxue, so it's better to let the two of them be together.
After saying this, she immediately ran away without waiting for her uncle to get angry.
Xiao Jinxuan was left stunned for a while before he came to his senses.
"What nonsense!"
How is it possible for him and Xie Zhuoning?
…
Fenghua Pavilion.
Xie Zhuoning leaned on Luohan's bed, feeling irritable and restless.
Especially when I saw the phoenix's tail swaying, my irritability became even stronger, and I couldn't stand it anywhere.
"Don't think I will forgive you if you give me something. It's impossible!"
If Princess Yunheng hadn't kept nagging her, she would have thrown the shackle away on the spot.
“Pah—”
She slammed the lid of the box shut and called Fuling over, "Throw this thing into the warehouse."
Out of sight, out of mind.
Fuling left immediately, and soon came back in a hurry.
"Miss, someone is coming from the Liang family!"
"Oh? So fast?" Xie Zhuoning was quite surprised.
It seems that Murong Yan acted very quickly!
She asked again, "Who is here?"
"They're all here!" Fuling ran a little fast and took a deep breath before continuing, "The old lady of the Liang family and Mrs. Liang Li are waiting at the gatehouse."
Xie Zhuoning rested his chin lazily, thinking, "Even the old lady of the Liang family, who has been bedridden for many years, dragged her sick body to come to our house. It seems that Liang Ke's intrusion this time is quite serious."
"Let's go, let's go." She immediately stood up excitedly.
It's such a lively place, how can we miss her?
When she hurried over, He Jinyun had already asked someone to welcome Liang's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law into the house.
As soon as she entered the room, Liang Li immediately started crying, "Jinyun, you must save my Ke'er!"
The Liang family was like leeches attached to her mother-in-law, sucking her mother-in-law's blood and flesh. He Jinyun had long been fed up with them.
But after all, he was her closest relative, so she could only patiently ask, "What happened to cousin Ke'er?"
"He owed gambling debts in the casino, and the murderer not only detained him, but also cut off one of Ke'er's fingers and sent it to our home, asking us to use the money to redeem him..."
"They also said that if he delayed for one hour, they would chop off one of his fingers. When all his fingers were chopped off, his hands and feet would be chopped off!"
Liang Li cried so hard that she almost fainted.
When he heard that it was gambling debt, Ho Kam Wan showed a look of disgust.
But since these people, young and old, are begging for help, I can’t just ignore them.
She ordered the maid, "Take my pair of cards and go to my private vault to get one hundred taels of cash."
Who knew that when Mrs. Liang Li heard this, she immediately became anxious and asked, "How can one hundred taels be enough?"
One hundred taels of silver is enough for their family to eat and drink for several years. This is not enough. How much more will be enough?
He Jinyun's expression was a little bit awkward, "Tell me, how much do you owe?"
"Five..." Liang stretched out her hand.
"Five hundred taels?"
"Fifty thousand taels..."
"hiss--"
He Jinyun was stunned and almost couldn't recover.
Xie Zhuoning also happened to arrive at this time, heard it all, and exclaimed, "What a good fellow!"
It seems that this is the work of Murong Yan.
He told Liang Ke to make a big hole, and he really made a big hole!
But this play is missing someone, I’m afraid it won’t be able to sing?
"You two come here..."
Xie Zhuoning called Xia Ju and Fuling and whispered something in their ears.
The two left immediately and quietly.
Inside the house, He Jinyun directly refused, "I can't help you with this."
Three hundred taels of silver could buy an acre of good farmland, and five thousand taels could buy a good shop in the capital.
When she got married, her family only gave her three shops as compensation, yet they had the nerve to ask for 50,000 taels?
Fifty thousand taels, even if you transfer all the cash in the Xie family's account, it would not be enough!
"Ahem, grandson's wife..." Old Lady Liang coughed twice and spoke weakly, "Ke'er is the only child of our Liang family. Are you really going to watch him die without saving him?"
"It's not that I don't want to help, it's that I can't help."
He Jinyun took out one hundred taels and handed them to the two men.
"This little bit of silver is just a token of my appreciation to you. I'm sorry, Jinyun can't help you with anything else."
"Okay, okay, I finally figured it out. You are treating us like beggars... Yuru, look, this is the good daughter-in-law you married!!!"
Old Mrs. Liang's chest heaved violently and she leaned back and passed out.
Before He Jinyun could go forward to check, a figure rushed over first.
"Mom!" Liang hugged Old Lady Liang and screamed heartbreakingly.
As soon as Ho Kam Wan saw Leung, he felt something was wrong.
Liang is now reflecting on her mistakes in seclusion, and she has even ordered people to block any news about anyone coming from the Liang family.
Who leaked the news?
