Without money, officials like them have to find a way.

Moreover, the emperor had already taken the initiative, cutting down on the food and clothing expenses for himself and his concubines, cutting down on banquet expenses, and saving money to contribute to peace.

At this moment, it is obvious what they should do.

Anyone standing here today has contributed to some extent.

However, who is willing to generously use their own money to repair the hole? If you are generous this time, should you donate generously if the same thing happens next time?

People have some selfish motives and concerns. At this juncture, no one wants to be targeted by the emperor.

It's okay to take out some as much as you can, but it's absolutely not okay to be targeted by the emperor and empty your family's wealth to provide disaster relief!

With them like this, how could Yan Chujing not see what their intentions were?

But it doesn't matter, he has many ways to deal with these people. Those who usually rely on tricks to make money, at this time, he will definitely let them spit out all the parts that need to be spit out!

…

After the court meeting was over, Yan Chujing deliberately lingered in the back hall for a while.

Sure enough, after all the courtiers left, Chi Xinian appeared in the back hall.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance if you wanted to come? Are you still afraid that I won't let you come?" Yan Chujing's eyes lit up when he saw Chi Xinian coming, and then he deliberately snorted and provoked

Here comes her question.

"What's there to say? You won't reject me, so why should I waste time and ask unfamiliar questions?" Chi Xinian curled his lips. He didn't mind Yan Chujing's nitpicking at all. Instead, he curled his lips and smiled.

She leaned forward and pinched his cheek.

"Chi Xinian, you are doing something wrong again!" Yan Chujing first looked at the palace guests beside him who had lowered their heads in alarm, and then glared at Chi Xinian with dissatisfaction.

He didn't seem to care about what Chi Xinian did to him anymore, but his pride kept him strong, and he still couldn't let go in front of so many people.

"How can this be called misbehavior? I didn't do anything weird. I just touched my husband's face. How can anyone else say anything to me?" Chi Xinian didn't care about Yan Chujing blowing his beard and staring.

Even when he glared at her, he curved his lips and pinched his cheek again.

This time, Yan Chujing did not refute.

Because the moment he heard Chi Xinian's words, his cheeks turned slightly red and he couldn't help but whisper: "What husband... I really don't know what you are talking about..."

"Oh? Don't you know?" Chi Xinian raised his eyebrows.

Hearing this, Yan Chujing's cheeks turned red again. He opened his mouth, as if he subconsciously wanted to refute, but in the end, nothing came out.

He agreed with Chi Xinian's words from the bottom of his heart, but he was a little embarrassed to hear her say it in front of so many people.

But it is absolutely impossible for him to deny it!

They were originally a couple!

"Okay, I won't tease you anymore." Seeing the changing expression on Yan Chujing's face, she couldn't help but chuckle, and pulled Yan Chujing to sit next to her. Then she continued, "I came to Fengtian Temple to hear about the flood.

Let’s see if I can help you find any clues.”

"Have you noticed anything?" After hearing Chi Xinian talk about business, Yan Chujing also straightened his expression.

"Xue Qin and the Minister of Civil Affairs are both a little strange." Chi Xinian told Yan Chujing how they behaved when they went to have breakfast. "They must have a special relationship with Magistrate Xu."
