When the carriage reached the gate of the princess's residence, Murong Jie was still chattering. Zi'an covered his ears and said, "That's enough."
"Isn't it? Have you ever understood my painstaking efforts? Shouldn't you reflect on yourself and apologize..."
"Okay, I was wrong. I'm sorry." Zi'an couldn't understand why she was the only one who suffered in this matter, but she was the one who apologized in the end.
Murong Jie finally calmed down, but he still seemed to be angry. "You just questioned me and made me very sad. Think about how to make up for it."
"Do you need to make up for it?" Zian raised his voice.
"What else? Should I just be scolded by you for nothing?" Murong Jie also raised his voice.
"Didn't you scold me back?"
"There is no such thing as scolding back. I scold you because you deserve it, but you scold me, and I feel very wronged..."
While he was speaking at length, Zi'an stared at him and asked, "I heard that you were going to marry Sun Fang'er..."
"Unjust..." Murong Jie was addicted to cursing. After he vented his grievance, he realized that the situation had reversed. He said coldly: "Reflect on yourself. This king is too lazy to pay attention to you."
After saying that, he snorted and went in.
Zi'an looked at his back and said, "Little guy, I will kill you sooner or later."
"What did you say?" Murong Jie's ears were sharp. He walked to the corridor and suddenly turned back to ask, "You're still not convinced, right?"
"Ask you about Fang'er!" Zi'an said loudly.
Murong Jie turned a deaf ear and turned away.
Su Qing and Xiao Tuo had been looking for Doctor Yuan for the past two days, and they were exhausted. When they came back in the evening, they were both dejected. "There is no news at all. What should we do?"
Zi'an and Murong Jie looked at each other, both of them seemed very worried. Zi'an said, "Yes, it's hard to find it in such a huge crowd, but let's just try our best."
Xiao Tuo and Su Qing looked at each other. Did she give up so quickly? Didn't she say before that she would find Doctor Yuan even if she had to dig three feet of the ground? Now she just said she would try her best.
"It's not that easy, Xiao Tuo, let's just eat something and continue to go out." Su Qing stood up. He couldn't give up. He knew where he was going, so he couldn't admit defeat at this time.
Xiao Tuo stood up and said, "Okay, let's go to the kitchen and find something to eat."
Qin Zhidao: "Unless there are a few steamed buns in it, nothing else."
So, the two of them were about to go out, biting a steamed bun and holding two in their hands. Su Qing swallowed it dry and almost died. Xiao Tuo patted his back as he walked, "Do you want some water?"
"Let's go out and find something to drink, hurry up." Su Qing stretched his neck and swallowed it, saying.
Zi'an and Murong Jie looked at each other, and Zi'an said, "Are we being a little cruel?"
"You are a little cruel." Murong Jie said.
"Am I the only one who is cruel? Wasn't it your idea?" Zi'an frowned.
"How come it was the King's idea? You were the one who said it that day, and you were still feeling complacent about it." Murong Jie said.
Zi'an knew he couldn't win the argument, "So, what happened between you and Fang'er? I heard you were going to get married."
Murong Jie frowned and turned his head away to ignore her. It must be that kid Axin who said that. She knew everything but pretended to know nothing. It was so annoying.
Zi'an was very proud that he had finally found a way to punish him.
After Liang Shulin left the palace, he went straight to the Regent's Palace.
Liang Shulin was very careful and entered through the back door.
In the Qingning Pavilion of the Royal Concubine, Ni Rong was lying quietly on the roof. Liang Shulin was very good at martial arts, but he was not as familiar with the palace as Ni Rong, especially since Ni Rong knew his destination and had been lurking on the roof early.
"Greetings to the noble concubine!" Liang Shulin bowed respectfully after entering.
"Come on, sit down!" The noble concubine dragged out the last syllable.
"Thank you, Concubine Dowager!" Liang Shulin sat down stiffly.
"Is everything settled?" asked the noble concubine.
Liang Shulin replied, "The Empress Dowager said that she would announce the decree at the court tomorrow morning, and the wedding would be held the day after tomorrow."
"That's good."
Liang Shulin hesitated for a moment, "Then, can you do what the noble concubine promised?"
"Why are you in a hurry? If you work hard for me, I will not treat you unfairly." The noble concubine said lightly.
"What I am saying is, can the noble concubine release Ziwei?" Liang Shulin asked.
The noble concubine sneered, "Don't worry, you lovelorn one. When you become a prince consort, Ziwei will be sent to the princess's mansion to serve you. She was born in the mortal world, so she can never be your concubine. But she can be a maid by your side."
Liang Shulin breathed a sigh of relief. "Your Highness has made thorough arrangements. I thank you."
There is nothing wrong with marrying a princess, and he does not covet the property, but he can keep the title of a royal consort and never marry again in his life, which also makes him and Ziwei happy.
Moreover, as a royal consort, even though all his money was given to the noble concubine, the people under the princess were all loyal to him. With these people, he could still have a way to survive.
"Okay, you go back first, and don't come here directly next time. When I see you, I will naturally send someone to look for you." said the noble concubine.
"Yes, then I will take my leave first." Liang Shulin stood up and took his leave. He made this trip in person because he actually wanted to see whether King Nan Huai had returned. He always felt that it would be better to ask King Nan Huai for a guarantee.
As soon as Liang Shulin left, Concubine Gui asked Ah Fu to go out and guard the door.
A man flashed out from the inner hall, smiling sinisterly, "Mother, it seems that all of Little Aunt's inheritance will be ours."
"Well, if everything goes well, there should be no problem." The noble concubine smiled and looked at the person in front of her with loving eyes.
This person was none other than Prince Nan Huai, who had been ordered to return to the capital. The last time he left, he did not return to the Southern Kingdom, but hid near the capital. This time, the Empress Dowager issued an order, but according to his pace, he had not arrived yet, so he could only hide temporarily.
"Will Liang Shulin be handed over smoothly?" he asked worriedly.
The noble concubine said, "He dare not hide it privately. I have the leverage over him. When he becomes the princess's consort, I will plant someone in his position as the accountant to control the princess's money."
"Have you roughly calculated how many there are?" asked King Nan Huai.
"I've asked someone to calculate it. The real estate and land are fixed, and we can only collect rent every year. The rent is about 10,000 taels of silver a year. As for her deposits in the state-owned bank, there are 3.3 million taels of silver. As for the jewelry and antiques in the mansion, it is estimated that there are no less than 300,000 taels of silver."
Prince Nan Huai was shocked. "So much?" You know, even his mother only received three thousand taels of salary a year. Even though she was the Princess Zhenguo and was on an equal footing with the empress, she only received the same annual salary of five thousand taels as the empress. How could she have a fortune of more than three million
You have to know that the total tax revenue of the Zhou Dynasty in one year was only more than 20 million taels.
"She is the daughter of Emperor Hui, and she has lived through three emperors. Before the Empress Dowager passed away, she gave her her private property. In addition, she also has various investment businesses and has cooperated with the Hu family. The jewelry and antiques are just preliminary estimates. If you calculate carefully, it is probably much more than that. In addition, I heard that she not only deposited her silver in the state-owned silver bank, but also in other private silver banks. If it is true, Eighth Brother, then your aunt is really the richest in the world."
