For a moment he was a little annoyed that he was staring at a woman.
"It's been a long time, and you haven't returned home yet."
Return home?
Do you want to go back to the Prime Minister’s Mansion?
She frowned and nodded calmly: "It's hard for the prince to still remember."
"This prince is busy with official duties, you can go back by yourself!"
Shang Ruoyi nodded indifferently. It was just a formality after all. It didn't matter whether he went or not.
After greeting the princess, he set out on the road back to her parents' home with the gifts he had prepared long ago.
When he arrived at the gate of the prime minister's residence, he saw Madam Shangnian waiting at the door.
Seeing the carriage stopped, he hurried over and said, "Greetings, Prince."
The driver opened the door, and it was Shang Ruoyi who came in.
Shangnian looked inside and saw no one there. He said in a deep voice, "Why are you here?"
"What's the matter? Could it be that the Prime Minister is waiting for the son-in-law you dislike?" Shang Ruoyi walked into the mansion and glanced at the servants in the yard. She saw that they all lowered their heads and did not dare to look at her.
According to the original owner's memory, these people seemed to have bullied her.
Now that she has become the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Ding, these people must be afraid that she will retaliate.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Shangnian walked forward and raised his hand as if to slap him.
"Prince Xiang, do you still want to bully me?" Shang Ruoyi said coldly, "Look carefully, I am now the Crown Prince of Ding, not the second young lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion who is bullied by others."
Shangnian was stopped by her look and did not dare to lower his raised hand.
At this time, Mrs. 꺶 came over and said, "Since you are here, have lunch and go back! Otherwise, others will say that we didn't even give you a meal."
Shang Ruoyi curled the corners of her lips slightly and nodded in response.
"I will be in my courtyard before lunch. No one is allowed to come in without my permission."
She said to the guards behind her: "Did you hear that?"
"As you command."
Seeing her turn and leave, the nanny beside Madam 꺶 whispered, "She has really become a phoenix after flying to a treetop. She doesn't even take the master and his wife seriously."
"It doesn't matter. Her good days are almost over." Madam 꺶 curled her lips into a cold smile: "After the lunch is ready, send it directly to her yard, let her eat and leave quickly."
"Yes, I understand."
Shang Ruoyi's yard was located in the most remote corner of the entire prime minister's mansion. Normally, no one would come here, and no one would pay attention to what she was doing.
On weekdays, Madam 꺗 often withheld her meals, so she often changed into maid's clothes and sneaked out to find food.
Therefore, she was very familiar with the terrain of the mansion.
She took off her shirt, put on the maid's clothes she had hidden before, put on some simple makeup, and slipped out through the window.
The storehouse of the prime minister's residence is in the southeast corner, and next to it is Shangnian's study.
She kept her head down all the way and came to the door of the warehouse.
Looking at the lock, she took a silver thread and fiddled with the lock for a few times. She heard a "click" and the lock opened.
When I walked into the warehouse, I saw dozens of boxes stacked inside, containing all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.
Tsk tsk tsk, her scumbag father is really greedy!
How many losses must have been done with so many treasures?
Since these are all ill-gotten gains, she will not be polite.
She placed her hands on the gold, silver and jewels, and with a thought, the things inside disappeared and all entered her space.
In a moment, there was nothing left in the warehouse except those empty boxes.
Thinking of Madam Shangnian's expression when she found out in the future, she felt very relieved.
This was why she insisted on having lunch before leaving.
She walked to the storeroom and restored the lock. Just as she was about to return to her yard, she heard Shangnian's voice coming from the study.
"I have already reported it to the emperor. Now everything is ready. We just need the east wind!"
"Don't worry, my Lord. The emperor has made a decision on this matter. We just need to wait for good news." A strange man's voice came: "Once the Dingguo Palace is eliminated, we can rest assured."
What?
Is it related to Prince Ding’s Palace?
Just as she was about to move closer to hear more clearly, she heard hurried footsteps in the distance.
Shang Ruoyi hurried away.
Back in the courtyard, thinking about what Madam had said at the time, she became more and more uneasy.
At this moment, a scream spread throughout the prime minister's residence.
You discovered it so quickly?
It turned out that Madam Wang was going to put the gifts that Shang Ruoyi brought back home into the storeroom, but when she opened the door, she found that the dozens of boxes inside were empty.
This was the money she had saved for more than ten years, and it would be used as a dowry for Shang Yufu in the future.
Now they are all gone.
How could she not go crazy?
"Shang Ruoyi! It must be her!" After she finished speaking, she came to the front of the yard with a group of servants and guards in a menacing manner.
Just as she was about to break in, she was stopped by the guards: "Madam, no one is allowed to enter without the summons of the Crown Prince's Consort."
"How dare you! This is the Prime Minister's residence. How can Shang Ruoyi have the final say?"
"Madam, please obey the orders of the Crown Prince's wife." How could the guards of the Dingguo Palace be afraid of the wife of a prime minister's mansion?
For a long while, Madam 꺶 was unable to step into the yard.
So he shouted at the gate: "Shang Ruoyi! Come here!"
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shang Ruoyi rubbed her eyes and walked over as if she had just woken up: "Who is barking here?"
"Shang Ruoyi! How dare you steal? Aren't you afraid of going to jail?"
"Stealing?" Shang Ruoyi sneered: "When did I steal? What did I steal?"
"You stole the treasure from my storehouse!" Madam said angrily, "According to the law, if you steal property, your hands will be cut off. If you bring the things here now, I may consider letting you go."
"What are the treasures in your warehouse? How many are there?"
"Dozens of boxes..." Before she finished her words, her mind suddenly became clear. How did she move these dozens of boxes of gold, silver and jewels? Not to mention her, even several strong men would need a while to move them.
The guards standing at the door couldn't help but laugh. How could their Crown Prince's Consort carry dozens of boxes?
"Madam, you must provide evidence when speaking. Otherwise, it is a serious crime to slander the royal family!" Shang Ruo straightened her sleeves and said coldly, "Also, please call me the Crown Prince's Consort in the future. If you call me by my name again, I will punish you according to the law for disrespecting the royal family."
Madam 꺶 was furious, those were dozens of boxes of priceless treasures! It disappeared without a trace like this: "Where is my baby? Where is my baby?"
"If you don't believe me, feel free to send someone to search. My dilapidated yard can be seen clearly at a glance to see if there are any of the dozens of boxes of treasures you mentioned."
Madam 꺶 couldn't stop shaking all over. She couldn't hold on any longer and fainted.
Shang Ruoyi walked out of the yard, watching the servants frantically helping Madam Wu up, and raised a smile at the corner of her lips: "Let's go back home!"
