The princess is soft!The sick villain is crazy

"Meow!"

The hair of the Persian cat was still dripping with tea, lying on Shu Yao's arms innocently licking its paws, blinking its two clean and clear eyes, one blue and one yellow, and Chunrui hugged it down to clean it.

Qin Yanghou and the Queen Mother also saw the new characters appearing on the ledger.

The Empress Dowager's face turned cold, and she called the female officer beside her: "Bring it for Ai's family."

Pan's and Pan Jun's account books are all in charge. Qin Yanghou didn't know that there was such a mystery hidden behind it, so he said in a stiff voice: "The empress dowager, my minister..."

"I heard that there is a special kind of ink that doesn't show color on ordinary cotton and linen paper, but it will change shape when it meets water," the young man's voice is as warm as pearls, "Mo Yuxuan uses this kind of ink to keep accounts. Right? I just don’t know, what’s written on it?”

But if you think about it, you will know, if it is a normal account, why do you need to deliberately hide it?I'm afraid the problem lies with the ledger.

The Queen Mother slowly flipped through the ledger, her face getting more and more serious.Turning to the latest page, she couldn't hold back her anger, and threw the account book on Qin Yanghou's face:

"absurd!"

"Grandmother?!"

Shu Yao was startled, and hurriedly supported the queen mother, but the queen mother shook her head to tell her not to say anything, her chest heaved with anger, her fingers were trembling: "The Ai family entrusted Yaoyao to you, and this is how you take care of her? Are you disappointed? Losing Yongning, betraying Yaoyao, why should I be a husband, why should I be a father?"

Princess Yongning is two years older than Emperor Yong, and there are many heirs of the late emperor. Such a humble pair of children has been forgotten in the deep palace. In addition, Princess Yongning is plagued by old illnesses. Therefore, even though she is beyond her age, the marriage of Princess Yongning is delayed. It's not settled yet.

She didn't get married until she was in her twenties, and her husband-in-law was chosen by her personally. He was a Tanhualang in the imperial examination.Said that although this person was a little proud, but his mind was simple and clean, he didn't have so many crooked minds, and his family background was clean and industrious, so Emperor Yong nodded his head and bestowed a marriage on Princess Yongning, and made Tanhualang Shu Jing the Marquis of Qin Yang.

At that time, Princess Yongning's condition had deteriorated, especially in late autumn and winter, the Marquis Mansion was burning with charcoal fire day and night, and the soup never stopped.The imperial physician was worried that the eldest princess of Yongning would not have much time. Qin Yanghou also assured Emperor Yong that even if the eldest princess died, he would not marry another person.

Princess Yongning passed away and did not ask Qin Yanghou to observe the festival.The Queen Mother and Emperor Yong are not dull and pedantic people, but Qin Yanghou took the initiative to promise, which moved the Queen Mother and Emperor Yong, and believed in the sincerity of Qin Yanghou for the eldest princess Yongning.

The results of it?The eldest princess died more than ten years ago, Qin Yanghou did not remarry, but the daughter born in the concubine's room was only one year younger than Shu Yao.The Empress Dowager and Emperor Yong gradually discovered Qin Yanghou's hypocrisy, took Shu Yao to the palace, and had less contact with him.

Their hearts are all contradictory.He didn't want Shu Yao to live in that place, and he didn't want his own father to create a rift.What child doesn't want to be loved by his parents?It was Qin Yanghou who repeatedly failed their trust.

The tea splashed on Qin Yanghou's face, twisting his hair crown, making him even more embarrassed.Qin Yanghou picked up the ledger on the ground in fear, and finally knew the source of the Queen Mother's anger.

Another kind of handwriting clearly recorded Mo Yuxuan's accounts, and even the payment of 1 taels of silver for the purchase of "Cold Mountain Picture" was written on it.Not only did Mo Yuxuan not lose money, but he also sold antique calligraphy and paintings at high prices in the past two years, earning a lot of money, most of which went to the Qinyanghou Mansion and Pan Mansion.

As the real owner of Mo Yuxuan, Shu Yao's name "Huaxi Palace" never appeared in the accounts.

"It's Pan Su-niang...it's Pan Su-niang!"

Qin Yanghou knew that Pan Suniang and even the Pan family behind him depended on Qin Yanghou's mansion to live and built a mansion in his fief.The ancestors of the Pan family and the Shu family came from the same hometown, so they are somewhat related. Qin Yanghou didn't mind helping a relative who was in trouble.He just didn't expect that Mrs. Pan would be so greedy that she even dared to touch Shu Yao's shop!

"Pan Su Niang? Your concubine's room?" The queen mother shook her head in disappointment, "Aijia asked you, have all the title deeds of these shops been handed over to you?"

"minister……"

Those several land deeds are all in the treasury of the Hou Mansion, and the keys to the treasury have long been handed over to Mrs. Pan by Qin Yanghou.

Pan's management of the Hou's mansion is very orderly. Qin Yanghou trusts her and is used to not having to worry about big and small affairs by himself. He would never have thought that Pan's embezzled so much money behind his back.

"I'll go back and ask Mrs. Pan for it!"

"Master Hou said, but this land deed?"

Qin Yanghou narrowed his eyes suddenly, Li Mingji calmly took out a thin deed from his sleeve, motioned for the female officer to hand it over to the Queen Mother, and said with a slight smile, "I purchased for the princess this morning, and I bought a piece of jade in a piece of jade. When the store saw this item, the shopkeeper said it was the loan certificate that Mo Yuxuan had mortgaged to him. I identified myself and made a rubbing copy, which I will hand over to the princess before it is too late."

On this title deed, Shu Yao's name is unknown.And at the bottom of Mo Yuxuan, Qin Yanghou's Mansion was written, with a clear word "Pan".

Looking into the unfathomable eyes of the young man, Qin Yanghou had an illusion in his heart that Li Mingji seemed to have the ability to predict the future, and everything that happened in Yanshou Palace today was under his control.

The queen mother has lost the desire to argue with Qin Yanghou, raised her hand, and leaned into the soft couch wearily: "Shu Jing, the Ai family ordered you to return to the mansion immediately. Within three days, the title deeds of these five shops must be completed. Hand it over to Yaoyao completely, otherwise, don't blame the Ai family for being rude!"

Qin Yanghou was forcibly expelled from Yanshou Palace by the female officials and internal servants. Seeing the empress dowager's slumped expression, Shu Yao walked around behind her worriedly and held her shoulders: "Grandmother, you don't have to be so angry. Who is father? Already saw it through."

She had long since given up on Qin Yanghou, and no matter how disgusting she did, Shu Yao would not be surprised.Taking it back to the shop is a trivial matter, just say hello to uncle, if the queen mother gets angry because of this, it will not be worth the loss.

The queen mother seemed to be immersed in her own thoughts, and said in a hoarse voice: "You are young, it is the Ai family who is sorry for you."

Li Mingji slightly raised his eyebrows.

Shu Yao also felt strange, and raised a bright and innocent smile towards the Queen Mother, "Grandma raised me up, and it's too late for me to repay you, so why are you sorry? Don't say such things again."

The queen mother waved her hands, struggling to support her body, her face was pale: "I'm tired of mourning my family. You should go back too."

Shu Yao had no choice but to say hello.

After being ill for a while, my grandmother seemed to have aged a lot and became preoccupied.Shu Yao didn't understand the reason, but she vaguely felt that the Empress Dowager looked at her with heavy and complicated eyes, especially when she got angry today, it seemed to be avoiding something.

Coming out of Yanshou Palace, Shu Yao slowly got into the sedan chair, not in a good mood.She has lived a carefree life these years, and these things are beyond her tolerance, making her a little out of breath.

"The county lord."

Li Mingji called out in a low voice, lifted the curtain of the car, and handed in a paper bag, "It's getting cold, do you want to taste it?"

It is a pack of peeled and sugar-fried chestnuts.

Qin Yanghou is guilty
queen mother is angry

Li Mingji is silently peeling chestnuts
