C123 Xun'er Is a Miser of Wealth
Zeng Rou'er went back to vent her anger.
"Useless idiots, they can't even deal with a double." After scolding maidservant for a while, she calmed herself down and sat by the tea table. maidservant hurriedly brought a cup of hot tea to the side, making the brewed tea very hot, causing Zeng Rou'er's finger to hurt the moment she touched it. She immediately shrank and kicked at maidservant, "Do you want to burn me to death?"
maidservant was weak and weak, while Zeng Rou'er used all of her strength to roll on the ground, until she was lying down on the ground.
"Another useless idiot." Zeng Rou'er scolded, "Get out of my sight."
maidservant crawled up in fear, then bowed and left. The angry Zeng Rou'er did not notice the resentment and killing intent that flashed past her eyes.
After she left, Zeng Rou'er sat on the chair by the tea table and frowned, obviously she had not calmed down yet.
None of the maidservant s outside dared to enter as they were afraid that they would be affected by Zeng Rou'er's anger and become her next cannon fodder.
After a while, the restless servants outside heard Zeng Rou'er's voice, "Let Xiao Hong in."
An ordinary looking maidservant with a sturdy figure stood up, revealing a timid expression, and walked inside. The servants behind her all looked at her sympathetically.
When the Xiao Hong entered, she immediately revealed a gloomy and cold smile. When Zeng Rou'er saw her, she immediately stood up, a trace of fear actually flashed across her face.
Xiao Hong glanced at her, then sat to the side and coldly said: "You did well this time, master is very happy."
Hearing these words, a hint of bashfulness flashed across Zeng Rou'er's face, and she said softly: "He really said that?"
"Don't be too complacent, Master's people were injured by someone from the County Prince's Mansion, so this matter is all because of you." Xiao Hong sneered, and looked at Zeng Rou'er from head to toe, her looks was not bad, but her mind was still a little muddled, and Master was just like that, which was why she kept hanging onto him, a stupid person, easy to control.
"I know, I know." Xiao Hong was that person's spy, she did not dare offend him. She was afraid that Xiao Hong would say something bad to her that would make that person unhappy, "I will definitely do better next time."
Zeng Rou'er's eyes flashed, like a poisonous snake ready to bite someone.
"It's good that you know it. You can't even deal with a mere twin from the countryside. What's the use of having a master like you?"
Hearing that, Zeng Rou'er became anxious, she definitely could not let that person think that she was useless, she thought of a sinister idea in her heart, and made a crackling gesture towards Xiao Hong, "How about, we kill him?"
The Xiao Hong's eyes dimmed and frowned, as if she was in a difficult situation. Zeng Rou'er looked at her nervously, her hands were covered in cold sweat.
"Don't act blindly without thinking. If you get caught, that would be bad." Xiao Hong looked at Zeng Rou'er and laughed coldly, "You leave no traces behind when doing things."
Her words were obscure but straightforward. If Zeng Rou'er didn't understand, then she was hopelessly stupid.
As expected, Zeng Rou'er's eyes lit up. These words did not completely deny her, but rather, asked her to clean up the mess.
"Princess, the palace is coming down."
Zeng Rou'er hurriedly tidied up her clothes, and looked at her makeup in the copper mirror. After confirming that there were no mistakes, she then said to the Xiao Hong: "Hurry and tidy up the room, don't let His Highness see anything wrong."
Xiao Hong immediately turned back into a simple and honest maidservant, she tidied up the house quickly, while Zeng Rou'er walked forward like a cat, gracefully to welcome Second Prince.
"I pay my respects to Your Highness." She blessed her body and bowed, then stepped forward and held Second Prince's arm, her entire body hanging on his.
"Why is Your Highness free to come today?" According to the date of service, today it should be the turn of Madame Li and Madame Li. Although on the surface they seem peaceful, as long as you dare to infringe on her interests, she will definitely take revenge.
In the years she had been married to the Second Prince, she had fought with Madame Li quite a few times. That brutal woman had already caused her to lose two children.
"Yu'er is not feeling well today, so I came to ask for a cup of tea from you." Yan Chengqi looked somewhat similar to the emperor, but his eyes seemed to be following the Noble Consort Zheng, and it was obvious that they were not very friendly, as he embraced Zeng Rou'er's waist, and said with a smile.
These joking words caused Zeng Rou'er to laugh. She extended her fist and patted Yan Chengqi's chest and said: "Your Highness, you're really bad. Don't make fun of me like this."
Looking at her blushing face due to her bashfulness and at the softness of her skin on his arm, Yan Chengqi raised his eyebrows and bit her ear. After muttering a few words, Zeng Rou'er's face was so red that blood was about to drip out.
Yan Chengqi laughed out loud and carried Zeng Rou'er into his room. When Zeng Rou'er helped him change his clothes, she softly said, "Your Highness, I heard today that Crown Princess Jing seems to be pregnant."
The had miscarried last time, and her body was injured. The imperial physician said that only after recuperation would it be possible for her to become pregnant again, and Yan Chenglee was afraid that she had gone all out and found many expensive medicinal ingredients to nourish her body, and before her body had fully recovered, he would not allow her to sleep.
She thought that the Crown Princess Jing must have taken root then and would never get pregnant in her entire life. She never thought that she would actually get pregnant again.
"I was pregnant, and it just so happens that royal father has been quite dissatisfied with me recently. Even if royal sister-in-law is pregnant, it can divert his attention." Yan Chengqi didn't care at all. If he could cause a miscarriage in the Crown Princess Jing, he could cause her to die a second time.
His eyes were focused on Zeng Rou'er's beautiful body. He pushed her onto the bed and the two of them hugged each other.

Because of Shen Jingli's outstanding performance, the empress dowager bestowed a lot of items to Shen Jingli. Inside was a small box filled with gold spindle, each spindle cost ten taels of silver, a total of twenty spindles.
Shen Jingli was not interested in the Jewelry and the cloth at all. He was just a man, what did he wear? As for the cloth, the empress dowager had given him a pink cloth according to the taste of the cloth, which made him look like he was being struck by lightning.
Lee Qi got the empress dowager's favor from making the dessert and gave him five hundred silver taels as a reward. A pair of jade bracelets and a piece of cloth were not much, but since it was given by the empress dowager, it was extremely precious.
Lee Qi proudly showed off his skills to Jin Yu and the servants when he returned, causing them to want to give him a gunny sack and beat him up after.
Although Nanny Jin didn't seem especially happy, she couldn't help but smile from her lips. Shen Jingli knew that she was happy, but it was no wonder that Lee Qi, as a servant, actually received a reward from the empress dowager.
"The empress dowager is quite kind." Shen Jingli took out a gold spindle, looked at it, and knocked on the table again.
In fact, if Mu Shisi was not in his room, he would like to learn how to travel through the God, so he could bite the gold spindle to see if it was real.
Seeing him so happy, Mu Chen walked over to the study table and gave him an account book.
Shen Jingli opened it for a look, and smiled even more happily than before. He raised his head and asked Mu Chen: "Did you earn that much from eating at Jin Xuan and the Hot Springs Inn?"
Several tens of thousands of silver could buy a few sets of beautiful and valuable Jewelry. He was not far from becoming a rich man.
After looking through the books, he counted the number of Jewelry and said, "I don't need these. I can give them to Sihua and the other girls."
"Is Siyu engaged?" thought about it carefully and realized that they were not even sixteen years old. Marrying so early, it was practically destroying their newly grown flowers and bones.
"It's decided. We will be married at the end of the year."
"Then I'll give her a set of Jewelry s to make up for it."

"As your sister-in-law, you only add a set of Jewelry?"
"A single Jewelry costs thousands of silver." Don't think that he didn't know that Madam Qin, no matter how generous a woman like Mu Siyu was, would only give her a dowry of two thousand silver.
"A little money grubber." Mu Chen scratched his nose and smiled.
Shen Jingli glared at him, I am a miser, what are you going to do about it? Don't spend this lord's money for the rest of your life if you have the ability.
Seeing him like this, Mu Chen couldn't help but laugh, and extended his hand to tease him. Shen Jingli pinched the center of his palm, "Don't tease me, the child is still here."
The two of them turned around at the same time, only to see Xun Er happily putting on the gold bracelet on his Arhat Bed, and holding onto a few gold spindles. Seeing that Shen Jingli and the others had recovered from the shock, he grinned towards them.
Shen Jingli went over and hugged his son, then said to Mu Chen: "So the one who is the most greedy is here." As he spoke, he pinched Xun Er's cheeks, "You little miser."
Xun Er didn't know what the Mama was so happy about, but that didn't stop him from laughing as he raised up the things in his hands. Kids loved to flash with gold, so when he saw the gold ornaments, he wore it all and even showed it off to Shen Jingli.
Mu Chen looked at the two of them and felt his heart warm up.
Shen Jingli turned and smiled at him. When Xun Er saw his father coming over, his eyes were full of excitement as he shouted at Mu Chen: "Kiss, dad, kiss!"
Every night when Shen Jingli finished telling Xun Er his story, Shen Jingli would kiss him on the forehead.
lowered his head and kissed Xun Er's face. Xun Er immediately patted his hands in joy.
Looking at the father and son pair's interaction, Shen Jingli laughed, and wanted to take back the gold ornaments on Xun Er's hands. He didn't expect the little guy to be a miser, and covered it tightly, not letting Shen Jingli take it away.
"This kid is pretty protective of his wealth."
Mu Chen smiled but did not speak. In his heart, he thought, this was basically the same as Shen Jingli.
