www.lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Sheng Chong's Daughter-in-law: The Medical Concubine!
When I came out of Tingyu Pavilion, it was already Shenshi.
After learning that King Zhennan had returned to the palace, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue simply walked directly to the palace.
Nangong Yue took the initiative to hold his hand and said warmly: "Ayi, we are not in a hurry."
Xiao Yi looked at her sideways, gentle and tired, and said matter-of-factly: "That's right! We still have a daughter, how can we delay it for three years in vain!"
Nangong Yue's face turned red and she couldn't help but glance at him.
As for the treatment of the third wife of the Fang family and the little Fang family, Guan Yubai mentioned an issue - status. Xiao Fang is now the wife of King Zhennan and Xiao Yi's mother. Once she has any shortcomings, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue will inevitably have to "keep filial piety to their mother" for three years.
Therefore, only by letting Xiao Fang lose this "reputation" can they act with less scruples.
Xiao Yi knew that the King of Zhennan would not want to divorce his wife because of his good reputation, so he had to give him a push...
Xiao Yi's fingers rubbed her palm, and Nangong Yue's earlobes turned a little red again, pretending to be nonchalant and said: "Ayi, we just have a good opportunity on our hands."
The old prince left behind an industry that was as rich as the country!
The two looked at each other and smiled. Xiao Yi was back, and this matter should be settled as soon as possible.
After arriving at the study room of the palace, Kikyo immediately went in to report, and the two of them were quickly welcomed in.
"Greetings to King Father." The young couple saluted King Zhennan together.
King Zhennan was obviously in a good mood. He asked them to sit down and stroked his beard and said, "It'll be good to come back. Is the Crown Princess feeling better?"
"Thank you for your concern, father. My daughter-in-law is already well." Nangong Yue bowed and thanked her.
The King of Zhennan nodded slightly and said: "I have thought about it. After your second brother gets married, let the second and third bedrooms live separately..."
Ever since he learned that his niece Xiao Ni had secretly poisoned the crown prince’s concubine, King Zhennan felt both angry and heartbroken. He originally thought that the second and third bedrooms were his father’s bloodline and were members of his own family, so it was okay to live in the palace. , anyway, the palace is a big place, and it can afford to raise so many people. Unexpectedly, as the saying goes, a fight for kindness will lead to hatred for rice, and some people are just white-eyed wolves who are not familiar with raising people!
King Zhennan thought, there are too many people in this palace after all! When there are many people, there are also many thoughts!
It’s better to separate and go out.
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue exchanged glances quickly, neither of them expected that King Zhennan would suddenly propose to separate their families.
My father is finally reliable for once. Xiao Yi thought to himself and echoed: "Father is the one who makes the decision."
Seeing that this rebellious son was rarely obedient, King Zhennan felt a sense of comfort and said: "Prince Concubine, speaking of which, your second brother's marriage has been decided, but your sisters have not yet settled. You can also help me look at it." The girls in the second and third bedrooms have their own parents, so naturally they don't need Nangong Yue to worry about. King Zhennan is talking about his three daughters Xiao Fei, Xiao Ronxuan and Xiao Rongying.
Nangong Yue naturally agreed. As the eldest daughter of the royal family, Xiao Fei's marriage would have to be prepared for at least a year or two, so it was time to look forward to it.
In addition, there is Xiao Luan's marriage.
Originally, as the legitimate son of the palace, there will be corresponding regulations for wedding matters. As long as you follow the regulations, there will be nothing wrong.
However, the roots of the Zhennan Palace are too shallow. Speaking of which, except for the wedding of Zhennan Wang more than ten years ago, no direct descendant of the Zhennan Palace has ever married. Therefore, the so-called rules and regulations are almost blank here, and she needs to arrange them one by one. Nangong Yue originally had plenty of time, but this serious illness made it almost too late.
So, Nangong Yue said: "Father, my second brother's wedding is coming soon, and my daughter-in-law would like to ask my father's permission to let Concubine Wei help."
The King of Zhennan nodded in agreement, "Just give the order to Concubine Wei. I heard from the old man of the Lin family that Concubine You still need to rest for at least half a year. It's better not to work too hard these days."
Nangong Yuefu said: "Thank you very much, father."
Xiao Yize intervened at this moment, and said with a somewhat unhappy look: "Speaking of the second brother's marriage...Father, my son has ordered the account books to be sorted out from his mother's house later. I brought it here to show my father the king."
The King of Zhennan actually planned to ask about those account books in a few days. After all, Xiao Luan was about to get married and had some property in his hands, which would also give him a long face in front of the Yue family.
Hearing Xiao Yi's initiative, King Zhennan naturally said hello, ignoring his dark face, and nodded: "It's time to get a share of the properties your grandfather left to your brothers as soon as possible. My father also thinks that your great-uncle’s previous proposal was a good one. As the heir apparent, you should allocate more land to the village. As for the shop and cash, I will give it to your second brother."
While speaking, there was a burst of chaotic footsteps outside, and then a long attendant came in to report that the account books sent by the prince had arrived.
After a while, Huamei and several women brought several large boxes of heavy account books in one after another. After the women went out, the father, son, daughter-in-law and several serving maids were left in the study.
"Father, the account books are all here." Nangong Yue said respectfully, "What my father said just now is that it is appropriate to give the shop and cash to the second brother, but... ”
As she said that, she frowned her delicate eyebrows and said awkwardly: "After calculating this account book, the total annual income is 2.3 million taels of silver, but..." She hesitated for a moment, and finally agreed. He said angrily, "But mother only gave us a total of 310,000 taels of silver notes, which is still a full two million taels short..."
"Two million taels?!" King Zhennan blurted out in shock.
Even if the King of Zhennan had thought that there might be some problems in these account books, it was only a few tens of thousands taels. For the sake of his family and everything, he could just forget it in a vague way. This is not a small amount of money, but I never expected that the difference is such a huge amount.
Two million taels!
This is how many years the Southern Xinjiang Army has been paid!
Thinking about it, King Zhennan’s face suddenly darkened. ,
As if she was worried about offending King Zhennan, Nangong Yue said cautiously: "Father, everything my daughter-in-law said is true."
With a look from her, Baihui immediately opened one of the boxes, took out several account books and handed them to Nangong Yue.
Nangong Yue picked up a book, flipped through it, stopped at a certain page, and asked Baihui to present it to King Zhennan, and then said: "Father, this is a tea shop in the east of the city. According to the account books, the annual profit of the tea shop is 5,000 to 6,000 taels of silver... A rough calculation shows that in the past five years alone, the tea shop has earned nearly 40,000 taels of silver."
Nangong Yue counted the income of the tea shop in the past five years one by one, deliberately frowned and glanced at the remaining large boxes of account books, and allowed King Zhennan to imagine for himself.
The old prince only left dozens of shops, as well as a large number of fields and villages...
Xiao Yi was drinking tea at the side, using a tea cup to hide the smile at the corner of his mouth. He liked to see his stinky girl so energetic and a little cunning, just like back then...
Xiao Yi accidentally lost his mind.
"Father," Nangong Yue said respectfully and considerately, looking at the ashen-faced King of Zhennan, "My daughter-in-law understands that her mother has been in charge of the palace's finances over the years, and she has to work hard to manage these accounts. Her hard work has paid off. Daughter-in-law As the younger generation with the crown prince, we really shouldn’t argue with our mother. It’s just that Bixiaotang really can’t afford these two million taels of silver..."
King Zhennan quickly flipped through the account book in hand, then picked up the second and third books... his face became increasingly ugly.
"I wonder if my father can grant me a little more time, or why not give the land and Zhuangzi to the second brother, and the prince will only have these 'cash silver', right?"
Nangong Yue’s words were gentle and respectful, but also revealed a hint of helplessness. When she heard the veins on King Zhennan’s forehead twitching, he suddenly understood!
It turns out that Xiao Fang had such a "good idea".
Divide the property according to the distribution of property. If Xiao Yi asks Xiao Luan to take cash, he will give Xiao Luan two million taels of silver for free. But if Xiao Yi cannot give the two million taels, then he will have to eat the money. Dumb and dumb, he settled for the next best thing and gave up all the land and village to Xiao Luan!
The rebellious son of Xiao Yi has always been at odds with me. With his thorny temper, he might even come to have a big fight with me over this, and then he might help him when he is angry. Xiao Luan took away all the properties left by his father from Xiao Yi's hands...
No wonder Xiao Yi, a brat like him, turned so dark when it comes to property, and he is obviously a little unhappy. That is to say, the imperial concubine has a good temper and can suppress him. Otherwise, wouldn’t it mean that Xiao Fang’s family has plotted against him? ? ! And wouldn’t he become the mallet in Xiao Fang’s hands? !
Damn little Fang, he even plotted against him!
The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more annoyed he became. Huo Di stood up, held the account book in hand, picked up the curtain and walked out of the house, not even paying attention to Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue in the study.
The only thing left in the study was the crisp sound of the beaded chain door curtains colliding with each other...
Xiao Yi poured tea for Nangong Yue diligently, and then served the tea himself. He blinked with a smile, as if to say, my princess is really capable!
Nangong Yue took the tea cup and raised the corners of her mouth even higher.
Since Xiao Fang likes to make false accounts so much, then he will do the same to others and let her have a taste of what it means to shoot oneself in the foot!
The account books piled up in this study are all a new set of account books that the accounting office carefully imitated the fake accounts given by Xiao Fang, but it took several months of work.
According to the false accounts that Xiao Fang originally gave, the money earned by so many shops and farms every year is just enough to maintain their income and expenditure, and some shops even suffer losses... After more than ten years, the old prince left All these industries together only made a few hundred thousand taels. Adding in the banknotes left by the old prince, the amount was only 300,000 taels. You can imagine where the real profits went!
The money that was intercepted was obviously in Xiao Fang's hands, but on the surface she wanted to give the impression that Xiao Luan's property was far inferior to Xiao Yi's. If the elders of the clan were to speak again, Maybe Xiao Yi will have to be forced to give away part of the farm...
If it was just about the property, Nangong Yue actually didn't care, and she knew Xiao Yi definitely didn't care either. In this life, Xiao Luan was not raised too badly by the little Fang family. If the palace split up the family in the future and gave him more property and silver, Nangong Yue would have no problem with it.
It’s just that these things the old prince left to Xiao Yi are the old prince’s love for his grandson. They must be calculated clearly and clearly, and Xiao Fang and the others must not be confused.
Therefore, Nangong Yue ordered the accounting office to make a set of "beautiful" account books, exaggerating the money earned by the shop every year by more than ten times, so the combined income of so many industries for more than ten years became two A huge sum of more than one million taels.
I hope Mr. Fang will be happy to receive this "heavy gift".
Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were drinking tea leisurely in the study.
The King of Zhennan came to the main courtyard of the palace with great momentum. Naturally, the woman guarding the courtyard did not dare to stop him. The maid's bright eyes hurriedly went to report to Xiao Fang, as if she was happy but worried.
I was originally happy that the prince finally came to see my wife, but looking at the angry look on the prince's face, I was afraid that the visitor was evil!
Before Xiao Fang could dress up, King Zhennan strode into the main room and asked roughly: "Where is Madam?"
"Husband...Madam is here..."
A little maid stammered in reply. As she spoke, Little Fang quickly came out and hurriedly saluted King Zhennan.
She had just bent her knees a little when she heard King Zhennan scold harshly: "You are so brave! How dare you make false accounts!"
As he said that, he threw the account book casually on Xiao Fang's skirt. With a "pop", the account book fell to the ground...
In the past, King Zhennan had so much trust in this step-sibling, but now he is so disappointed.
When he thought that her father's property had been in her hands for more than ten years, but she dared to hide it from him, the thorn in his heart stung again. Why did she hide it from him? It was just for money!
This lady has such a big appetite!
Seeing the extremely disappointed look in King Zhennan's eyes, Xiao Fang was really anxious.
Little Fang glanced at the account book that had fallen to the ground. He knew it was one of those account books, and his eyes flashed.
I heard that that brat Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue just returned to the palace today. It seems that they went to complain to King Zhennan!
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Fang gritted her teeth, knelt down with a plop, and shouted, "I have been wronged! These accounts are all true!" Her account books were made perfectly, and there was nothing wrong with them. of!
Even now, she still refuses to repent! King Zhennan frowned, and there was no longer any disappointment in his eyes, only boredom.
"Your Majesty..." Xiao Fang took a few steps on her knees, her eyes were red and there was a thin layer of mist in her eyes, "I know that A Yi and the Crown Princess have never liked me, and my stepmother is embarrassed. I can only swallow the pain in my body and mind. I have been in charge of these shops for so many years, and I have always tried my best, not seeking merit, but seeking no faults..."
As she spoke, she pretended to wipe away the tears from the corner of her eyes with a handkerchief, and continued with disappointment: "But how could A Yi and the Crown Princess accuse me of making false accounts without any basis? The same goes for my stepmother. Mother... Judging from my appearance, it must be the concubine who instigated A Yi to be so unfilial!"
Xiao Fang’s words seemed to put all the responsibility on Nangong Yue, but they also accused Xiao Yi of being unfilial!
If this were the past, King Zhennan would probably believe it again, but this time is different from the past.
He has long been disobedient to this lady, and her words are also full of loopholes. She casually accused the prince of being unfilial. Does she still want to give the title of prince to that incompetent boy Xiao Luan?
How could a man who shouted in front of the soldiers never to go to the battlefield again on the battlefield hold the position of King of Zhennan?
The King of Zhennan closed his eyes and said coldly: "You said those account books are true?"
Little Fang thought that the King of Zhennan had believed it, so she hurriedly raised her right hand and cursed and swore: "Your Majesty, I swear that all the account books are true. If not, I am willing to be struck by five thunders!"
She swore a poisonous oath casually, hoping to make her words more credible, but she didn't know that she only destroyed the last trace of pity in King Zhennan's heart...
The King of Zhennan stared at Xiao Fang with his eyes, and his tone was so cold that it almost turned into ice:
"Okay! Since the account books are all true, I will ask someone to bring all the account books here later. Madam, please pay all the less than two million taels of silver according to what is recorded in these account books. Come out!"
After saying that, King Zhennan no longer wanted to pay attention to Xiao Fang, and strode away with his sleeves thrown away!
Two million taels of silver? ! Xiao Fang was a little confused for a moment, what two million taels? !
Mingmu still didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly helped Xiao Fang to stand up, only to see that Xiao Fang's face seemed even uglier than when King Zhennan was there just now.
"Quick! Show me that account book!"
Xiao Fang didn't care about her numb and painful knees, and hurriedly ordered Mingmou to bring her the account book.
Mingmou quickly picked up the account book, dusted it off and handed it to Xiao Fangshi. Xiao Fangshi turned it over eagerly...
Swish, brush, brush...
As the densely written pages turned quickly, Xiao Fang's whole face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. How could this happen? !
At first glance, these account books appear to be those prepared by myself, but the contents inside are completely wrong. The profit of the shop has been exaggerated countless times...
Two million taels...
Little Fang's hands trembled, and the account book fell to the ground with a "snap".
Nangong Yue, Nangong Yue must have forged these account books!
I am still careless!
"Your Majesty!" Xiao Fang rushed out of the house anxiously, shouting at the top of her lungs, "Your Majesty, it's Xiao Yi! It's Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue..."
But the back of King Zhennan was no longer visible. The two women who were guarding the entrance of the courtyard quickly stepped forward and stopped Xiao Fang. If the madam goes out to cause trouble, then their job will not be saved!
For a while, I heard Xiao Fang screaming like a mad woman, but couldn't get any response...
Two million taels? ! Where can I raise two million taels on my own? ! Cold sweat fell from Xiao Fang's forehead.
"Madam! Madam, the prince has left." Bright eyes looked at Xiao Fang with worry, really afraid that the madam was in trouble.
Xiao Fang finally calmed down and didn't speak for a while, with a dark look in his eyes, like a bottomless hell.
After a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Mingmou. Her eyes seemed to have made some kind of determination, looking cold and decisive, and ordered: "Mingmou, go and call Aunt Mei."
"Yes, madam." Bright Eyes responded respectfully.
Little Fang was banned, and she and several of her cronies were not allowed to leave the main courtyard at will, but Mingmou naturally had other ideas. Instead of going to the main entrance of the courtyard, she went to the small kitchen. After a while, smoke curled up... …
After a cup of tea, Aunt Mei, who was wearing a pink embroidered silk gown with flowers and flowers, came wandering over, saying she wanted to pay her respects to Mr. Fang. Aunt Mei came from Xiao Fang's courtyard. Ever since her marriage, she still came here from time to time to say hello to her. The woman who guarded the door let her in without much thought.
Mingmou quickly closed the door and stood guard outside the house.
Little Fang had already redressed and dressed up, and she was dressed elegantly. Only her reddish eyes could not conceal her embarrassment.
As soon as she saw Aunt Mei coming, Xiao Fang couldn't wait to ask: "Why don't you take action yet? When will you wait?" There was obvious irritation on her face.
Aunt Mei has been here for several months, but she has done nothing.
A month ago, when Xiao Fang heard that Nangong Yue was seriously ill, she thought that Aunt Mei and the others had taken action. Who knew that Nangong Yue is still alive and well today!
Aunt Mei looked at Xiao Fang indifferently, without any respect in her eyes, but her tone was still polite, and she said perfunctorily: "Madam, don't worry, since the master has sent me here, I will do my job well."
She was a little impatient. She just used Xiao Fang to sneak into the palace. She had to decide how to act, and Xiao Fang was not allowed to dictate!
Furthermore, Prince Xiao recently almost bloodbathed Luoyue City, and his own spies lost seven or eight. He finally managed to hide his identity without revealing his secrets. Now that the news has not passed, if he gets involved at this time, isn't he asking for his own death? !
Little Fang did not understand that the other party was perfunctory with her, and said coldly: "Aunt Mei, the old prince left those properties. Over the years, half of the money has gone into your pockets. Now the prince wants me to take two hundred When I make a profit of 10,000 taels, how can I collect these two million taels? If I can’t survive, you can’t even think about it!”
As she said that, a sinister light burst out from her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said: "Xiao Yi... you said you want to think about it in the long term, but now I want Nangong Yue to die! She is just a woman, and you can't do it. Are you here?!"
Because of Nangong Yue, her children all turned to her, and even the prince was bewitched by her and put herself under house arrest here. Also, Xiao Yi, that scoundrel, was getting more and more harmonious with the prince. If this continues, not only will he escape Unless he becomes seriously ill, his son Xiao Luan will be further and further away from the throne of King Zhennan...
When Nangong Yue dies, she will want to see how miserable Xiao Yi will be!
