Chapter 14 The First Meeting

Haitang accompanied Hu to get the money, and secretly prepared a gift for Ye Qingyou.

A plain hairpin with a lotus carved on it, and a pair of silver chopsticks.

"The chopsticks were given by Sister Xia Ying, and the hairpin was given by the servant. It was also not easy to go out, so the servant hurried to the embroidery room to choose the ones while they were taking the money to write the certificate."

Ye Qingyou was very happy. She took off the hairpin from her bun and inserted Chun Tang's hairpin into it.

"Xia Ying also has intentions. She is afraid that I will be poisoned to death by them."

From now on, you can just use silver chopsticks to eat. There is no need to use a silver needle to test it every time.

"Sister Xia Ying's mouth is so powerful. The old lady who was so stunned today couldn't say a word! I can't say how happy I am to listen to you!"

"Don't overdo it, it will be bad if she notices it." Ye Qingyou warned.

"Sister Xia Ying feels that if she doesn't scold her a few times, she will be easily suspected, saying that she is just mean at heart."

Ye Qingyou smiled. This was indeed Xia Ying's temper. "Did she say who bought the shop?"

"He was a man who had just moved to the capital. He had some spare money and didn't want to let it go, so he bought a shop to make a living. He said he would rent it out if he couldn't make it work."

Ye Qingyou nodded slightly, "I'm afraid this is to pave the way for foreign officials to enter the capital, so take care of things in advance."

"Do you want sister Xia Ying to keep an eye on me again?"

"There's no need to be fussy. I won't do anything today. I'll just eat and drink. Don't even mention anything serious. I have to rest my head."

Ye Qingyou asked her mother-in-law to help buy a jar of beauty wine and have a drink with Chuntang.

The next day before she even got up, Princess Xi's people came, "Previously, Madam Ye didn't leave the courtyard, so the Princess spared you the trouble of making morning and dusk inspections. Now that Madam Ye can move around freely in the mansion, the rules that should be set can no longer be set." Save it?"

Ye Qingyou was stunned, Princess Xi asked her to set rules?

"I'm not a concubine in the house, so I can't talk about sleeping in the morning and dusk, right?"

"The princess asked you to pay her respects, but you still dare to be stubborn?"

"The princess is of noble birth, so naturally I dare not disobey, but there are always rules for doing things. I am not a servant in the palace. I had a drink on my birthday yesterday and I have a headache. If there is nothing urgent, princess, I will not do it today. Went to see him."

Ye Qingyou thought about it and realized that she was afraid that the other party knew that she had taken money from Mr. Hu and misunderstood the two of them for making peace.

But she didn't want to explain to Princess Xi, it was unnecessary.

The servants had nothing to do with her, so they could only angrily reply to Mother Liang, "...that arrogant attitude, as if she is the mistress of the house!"

"It was her birthday yesterday?"

"That's what the cooks said. She also took the money to cook a few more side dishes and wait for Chuntang to come back to eat together."

Mother Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "It doesn't seem like she has changed her mind... Go and call that Chuntang over."

The servant can only make another trip.

Chuntang went and came back quickly with an embroidered fan in her hand, "Mama Liang gave it to me on behalf of the princess to make up for your birthday gift yesterday."

"Did she ask about Mrs. Hu?" If she didn't go, Mother Liang could only summon Chuntang.

"Asked." Chun Tang said clearly, "...when I talked about the delay in moving your wife's grave, the slave complained a few more times."

"Mama Liang didn't ask Mr. Hu how much money he borrowed?"

"The slave didn't give a clear figure. She just said that the old lady had forcibly borrowed all the money from the three shops." Chun Tang still has this little cleverness.

Ye Qingyou was very satisfied with this.

She was originally worried about how to let Princess Xi know about this, but she didn't expect that Liang's mother would become an assist.Are you afraid that there will be another big fuss in the house within a few days?

Sure enough, on the night of the first day of October, Princess Xi and Mrs. Hu had a big quarrel.Because Hu's brother lost money again, the creditor went directly to Princess Shangxi and even went to the Ministry of War to find Yin Wenzhao.

"...Mother Liang said that you borrowed a lot of money to support your natal family. I turned a blind eye and turned a blind eye. Maybe your natal family has encountered difficulties."

"I didn't expect that I lent money to your brother for gambling? And you went to the general to collect the debt? I finally got the general to be reinstated. You are going to destroy him!"

Mrs. Hu didn't expect that her brother would gamble again?And it also affects his son? !

"It's not the money that Zhao'er owes. Why should they go to Zhao'er to ask for it? Besides, it's illegal to open a casino. Can't the government just arrest them?!"

"Oh, do you really not understand or are you pretending not to understand? Even I can't afford to offend someone who can open a casino in the capital with great fanfare!" Princess Xi really didn't expect that Mrs. Hu could be so stupid!

"How is that possible? You are the emperor's favorite princess. Why are there people you can't afford to offend?"

"Stop talking nonsense, how much did you lend him?"

Hu choked.

"Ouch, my head hurts so much, I feel so dizzy..."

Mother Liang stepped forward and pinched her hard, "Are you still pretending at this time? Are you going to put your own son's future on the line for that gambler brother?"

Mrs. Hu shed tears of pain and no longer dared to touch Porcelain and pretended to be dead. "Ye Qingyou's three shops exchanged two thousand, three hundred taels...I only kept one hundred." The rest was given to his younger brother for gambling. .

"Hula" sounded.

The celadon bowl in Princess Xi's hand was smashed!
"Go and arrest that person, take him to the government office in person, tell the governor that he has nothing to do with our general's office, and ask the governor to convict him on his own."

"No, you can't ignore him, that's your uncle!" Upon hearing this, Mr. Hu quickly stepped forward to stop him.

"You don't want to be dignified. The general and the princess need to be dignified. You want them to call a gambler who is in debt uncle? You can really imagine it." Mother Liang wanted to tear Mrs. Hu's mouth apart.

Mrs. Hu immediately sat on the ground and cried, wiping away her tears, "What kind of evil have I done? It's all my fault that Ye Qingyou, she insisted on lending me money, otherwise I wouldn't have committed such a big mistake!"

Princess Xi's forehead hurt, as if she had been hit hard.

She always thought that Ye Qingyou was scheming, but she didn't expect that Mrs. Hu could be so unreasonable?

"Go find Ye Qingyou! This princess wants to know how she can have such a big heart and just borrow 2000 taels casually!"

……

When Ye Qingyou heard her mother-in-law talking about the quarrel in the front yard, she was already ready to go to the front hall.

After being informed of the arrival, she went to see Xia Ying and the Hu family with the signed documents.

This was the first time she and Princess Xi met.

Princess Xi was sitting on the main seat, looking up and down without speaking. Mother Liang stepped forward and asked her what she had just said.

"...That's 2000 taels. Why don't you come and discuss it with your family before deciding?"

Ye Qingyou took out the note and handed it to her, "The old lady asked me to borrow money and said she wanted to invest in a restaurant, and she would pay me interest according to the day."

"This is a document created by her and another maid of mine. It also has the handprints of the market and government officials."

"It's because the princess hasn't given me the remaining dowry money yet, so I want to earn some interest on the money in my hand so that I can move my mother's grave as soon as possible."

Princess Xi:...

It was unnecessary for her to call this woman to see her!

"This money is not owed to you by the General's Palace, but owed to you personally by her."

"So what the princess means is that the old lady defrauded me of my money? If this is calculated according to the law, it will be considered fraud."
