Grandma Wang hesitated and stood outside the bead curtain for a moment, then tentatively opened the door.

"My lord, madam, the eldest lady has sent you the best ambergris."

Yue Shi was surprised, "What, the best ambergris?"

An Guogong, who was angrily cursing one second, sat up with his body propped up the next second.

"Quick, bring it in quickly!"

Aunt Wang sent the things in, and as the wooden box opened, An Guogong let out an exaggerated exclamation.

"Ambergris in such good condition must be worth a lot of money!"

"indeed."

Even though the Yue family hated An Yueli, they had to admit that this box of ambergris was extremely precious.

"Why is An Yueli suddenly so generous and willing to give us such good things?"

But An Guogong waved his hand, "She is my daughter, and it is necessary to be filial to our elders, not to mention that I was injured because of her. Aunt Wang, burn some for me quickly, and take half of it to Dr. Li."

Medicinal.”

"yes."

Seeing the other party being so excited, Yue Shi felt vaguely uneasy but did not dare to speak out.

Just when An Guogong lay down again and looked forward to the efficacy of the ambergris, another report from the maid came from outside.

"Sir, Madam, Manager Sun from the accounting department would like to see you."

Manager Sun was a confidant selected from distant relatives after the Yue family came to power. Over the years, she had been very effective in controlling the accounts of Zhongfeng.

When he heard that it was Manager Sun who was asking for an audience, Yue Shi just thought that he was here to report on the affairs of the mansion and didn't take it to heart.

"Let him come in and answer."

A moment later, Sun Guan came in a hurry. He didn't have time to salute before he reported through the bead curtain.

"Madam, someone from Shanzhitang came to our door with a bill and asked us to pay five hundred taels of silver! I don't dare to make my own decision, so I can only come and ask Madam for advice."

The Yue family was carefully stuffing a pillow for Duke Anguo. Hearing this, he didn't control the strength of his hand well, and directly pressed him, causing him to scream.

At this time, the Yue family paid no attention to An Guogong and asked Sun Guanshi in shock.

"What did you say!?"

"Shanzhitang said that the eldest lady bought two boxes of top-quality ambergris from them today, costing a total of five hundred taels. Let us pay the money as soon as possible."

Yue Shi screamed, "Why should she ask us to pay for her shopping?"

Even An Guogong couldn't sit still and jumped out of bed despite the pain.

"Is she crazy? She bought such expensive things with money from the house! Who gave her the courage!?"

Manager Sun lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He handed the bill to Yue with a trembling voice.

Just seeing the amount stamped on it made her feel dizzy.

"It's impossible to give money. This is something An Yueli bought and has nothing to do with our house. Go tell the people at Shanzhitang so that they can go to Prince Xiao's house to ask for money."

Duke An Guo echoed gruffly, "Yes, I won't pay a penny, so let them stop pestering you!"

When Steward Sun heard this, he responded with a sad face, "The villain said the same thing at first. But the people from Shanzhitang said that the eldest lady had brought the things back to Duke Anguo's mansion, so she should ask for the money from us. They also said that if they didn't give it, they would go

The government office will sue us."

"Bastard!" Duke An Guo jumped in anger, "They clearly don't dare to go to Prince Xiao's Mansion, so they insist on biting us. Where is An Yueli, go find her and ask for money!"

Manager Sun and his followers went to Beiyuan to ask for explanations, and happened to see Fu Yan and Cai Yun serving Mrs. Jiang to take medicine.

After hearing Manager Sun's request, An Yueli was not surprised. She wiped Mrs. Jiang's mouth unhurriedly and asked Huansha.

"What did you tell your father?"

"To report to the princess, I just reported the truth to the Duke and Madam Yue. The princess bought this ambergris to replenish the body of the elders. I did not say that the princess bought it with her own money."

An Yueli raised her eyebrows at the other party, "Did you hear that?"

Manager Sun only felt his head was pounding, "But the Duke of Guo said that the palace should not pay for the princess's purchases, so the princess should pay for it herself."

"Huansha, how did your father react when you delivered the things?"

"The Duke was very happy at the time and praised the princess for her filial piety. The servant saw with her own eyes that the Duke sent a part of the ambergris to be used as medicine on the spot. I guess he was very satisfied with the quality of the ambergris."

"That's right. The things are bought for my parents and I have no use for them, so why should I pay for them?

Besides, Mrs. Yue has said that the married daughter throws away the water. Since I am not a member of the Duke's Palace, why should I pay the bill for the Duke's Palace?"

"Princess, you bought this thing after all, and Mrs. Jiang also used it."

Upon hearing this, An Yueli stood up and walked step by step to Manager Sun.

The other party was caught by her aura and froze in place, sweating coldly.

"King, princess?"

"Are you mocking my mother as not being a member of Duke An's palace? Even Prince Xiao wants to address my mother as mother-in-law, how dare you be rude to her.

The Yue clan lent you some courage and asked you to come to Beiyuan to be wild!"

Even An Guogong was beaten to the point where he has not recovered yet. Manager Sun dared to touch Su Huaixiao's bad luck, so he immediately knelt down with a plop in fear.

"Princess, please calm down, I have no such intention!"

An Yueli leaned forward slightly and slowed down her speech.

"Then you go back and tell Mrs. Yue that I did not intentionally purchase such expensive medicinal materials. It is just because the ambergris in the warehouse has not been replenished, and the medicine for father and mother cannot be stopped.

Mrs. Yue has worked hard to manage the family, but if she has limited energy and cannot handle everything, I wouldn’t mind managing it on her behalf.”

Manager Sun returned in vain and relayed An Yueli's words to the two of them.

Yue Shi almost tore a fine handkerchief, and the skin on his face was wrinkled with ferocious anger.

"She is threatening me!"

An Guogong beat his chest and gasped, "What a good girl, An Yueli, she actually plotted against me. Isn't she filial to her mother? She wants to ask for medicine for Jiang Qinglan. Well, return all the things she sent.

Whoever uses it will pay, but I won’t give you a penny!”

As soon as she finished speaking, Grandma Wang came in with the boiled soup.

"Madam, the medicine you prepared for me is ready. The doctor has mixed a small amount of ambergris into the prescription, which will definitely relieve my mood."

"..."

There was an awkward silence in the room.

Yue secretly took a look at An Guogong's face, which turned from white to red and then to blue, and was afraid to say anything. It was not until Grandma Wang sensed something was wrong in the atmosphere and asked in a low voice what happened that the other party completely exploded.

"You bastard, you bastard! Please inform me that you are not allowed to accept anything from Beiyuan in the future. And you!"

In anger, Duke An Guo simply targeted the Yue clan.

"If you hadn't deliberately deducted Jiang Qinglan's status, how could you have caused so many troubles? I've helped you straighten you out for so many years, but you still can't get rid of your petty attitude!"

An Yurou happened to hear this sentence when she came over to say hello, and broke into the bedroom regardless of the servants' obstruction.

"How could father humiliate mother so much?"

"Yu Rou, why are you here?" Yue Shi noticed that the other party had barged in and quickly stepped forward to stop him, "Your father is still ill, so don't make any noise."
