"Although you were negligent in your discipline, the mistake was made by the servants, so there is no need to blame yourself too much."
Facing Lin Wanyue's tears, Xiao Weijing spoke calmly, "The stolen dowry has been found at Yuelai Pawn Shop, but Xia He died suddenly. I don't know where she hid the stolen money."
As soon as these words came out, Lin Wanyue's face turned pale, and she didn't expect him to really get to the bottom of it.
She squeezed the handkerchief tightly and swallowed: "It's all my fault. I didn't expect that she would commit such a stupid thing."
Knowing that I couldn't escape, I had already thought of my words before coming.
Lin Wanyue looked embarrassed and hesitated to explain: "Some time ago, I learned that the prince was worried about the money issue. I thought about helping the prince, so I sent Xia He to send a message home to see if my father could do anything. Unexpectedly, Xia He
I brought back fifty thousand taels.
I was also concerned and confused. I really thought it was given to me by my father, but I didn’t know that Xia He had the audacity to steal the princess’s dowry and sell it in order to repay me for saving my life in the past.
If I had known, I would have stopped Xia He no matter what I said, and who would have thought that it would even implicate the prince..."
Lin Wanyue wiped her tears and opened the wooden box, which contained a thick stack of silver notes. "Your Majesty, I checked Yinyan Pavilion several times again and dug out the 20,000 taels secretly hidden by Xia He from the underground of the woodshed. I hope to redeem it."
If the princess's dowry is not enough, I will find another way."
Seeing that he didn't say anything to comfort him, nor did he reach out to take the banknote, she had no choice but to put the wooden box on the table.
Xiao Weijing glanced at the banknote and said, "This matter happened because of me. You should take good care of yourself first, and I will handle the rest."
Lin Wanyue couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. With the prince's words, Shen Ning should not dare to pester her like a ghost.
However, she still noticed Xiao Weijing's indifference, and his anger still did not go away.
Lin Wanyue was in trouble and couldn't tell. It was true that she took Shen Ning's dowry, but most of it was given to the prince for emergency purposes, so she kept only 20,000 taels secretly. Now she not only spit it out, but even lost her reputation.
She knocked out her teeth and swallowed blood. She gritted her teeth and said, "Your Majesty, after something like this happened, I have no shame in managing the backyard for you anymore. I will resign from this job today. I can't put you in a dilemma, Your Majesty."
Xiao Weijing pondered for a moment, "I'll leave the errands to Manager Zhou for the time being. It won't be too late to make a decision after you get well."
His words were like a sharp knife piercing her heart. Lin Wanyue was so painful that she couldn't breathe. The power of the family was given away. How could it be so easy to get it back?
If she could, she didn't want to hand it over at all, but she couldn't bear Shen Ning coming to her door to yell at her and humiliate her. Instead of being forced to hand it over, she might as well resign on her own initiative, which might still have some dignity.
Thinking of Shen Ning's threat, Lin Wanyue stood up with tears in her eyes, "During this period, thanks to the prince for not giving up, Wanyue was taken into the house to take care of her, but she never thought of causing so much trouble to the prince. It really makes Wanyue extremely ashamed and she has no shame anymore.
Stayed.
There are no words to repay this great kindness. I say goodbye to Wanyue. I wish the prince to have all his wishes come true and be in good health."
After speaking, he bowed deeply and left sadly.
Xiao Weijing seemed to see the hazy figure running away from back then, constantly overlapping with Lin Wanyue in front of her. Her cold heart couldn't help but soften a little, "Get well first, and don't think too much."
He didn't say anything more and asked Chujiu to send her back.
After walking out of Yuqingxuan, Lin Wanyue was relieved. The bamboo basket was empty, but she was able to stay at least.
As for that bitch Shen Ning, just wait and see.
Shen Ning felt extremely happy when she learned that Lin Wanyue had been exposed to the heavy rain for an hour, "Eleven, I am in a good mood today, go and kill the pig, let's celebrate."
Is it finally time to roast suckling pig? The prince has been waiting for several days.
On November 11, I sharpened my knife and quickly slaughtered the pig and cleaned it up.
The piglet weighed more than 20 kilograms, and only a dozen kilograms were left after being eviscerated. It was castrated with sauce for half an hour, and the inside and outside were smeared several times before being roasted on the fire.
It was raining and there was nothing to do, so the three of them sat around the fire, roasting suckling pig and eating melon seeds and chatting.
The fat sizzles, and the suckling pig is quickly roasted to brown, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Although Shi Yi usually obeys orders, he is still a wolf at heart. When the suckling pig is freshly baked, he cuts it in half with a sword, "Half is enough for the three of us, and the rest will be given to the prince."
Shen Ning, "..." Feed the unfamiliar.
Zhuqing didn't want the relationship between the master and the prince to become tense, so he took the initiative to help Eleven pack the dipping sauce, and whispered: "Remember to tell the prince that the princess made this specially for him."
Eleven nodded, "I know."
Half a suckling pig suddenly appeared, and Xiao Weijing was a little confused.
"You don't know how to cut it into small pieces?" On the ninth day of the month, the fool was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas were born. "Is it possible for the prince to carry half a pig and chew it?"
Xiao Weijing felt that it didn't matter whether she could carry it or not, "Is it clean?"
Eleven said truthfully: "It's clean, my subordinates will supervise the whole process."
Thinking of Shen Ning's special habit of treating his face, Xiao Weijing refused in his heart. However, the suckling pig was freshly baked and steaming, and the whole room was filled with aroma. It happened to be a meal, and he had already eaten two meals.
So he ordered it to be cut into small pieces.
There are three kinds of sauces, minced garlic, vinegar, and sugar, which look delicate on the plate.
Different from the rough roasted beef and mutton in Mobei, the roasted suckling pig is very delicate, with crispy skin, fine meat, crisp bones and fragrant taste.
Dip it in minced garlic, and it will taste salty in the mouth; dip it in vinegar, and it will have a unique flavor, which can relieve the greasiness; dip it in sugar, and it will sizzle when you bite it, and the sweetness will be even more memorable.
Xiao Weijing did not expect that just a suckling pig could be eaten in a variety of ways. It seems that Shen Ning is not only a master of two brushes, but also a person who knows how to enjoy.
He sat and ate, while two people standing next to him swallowed their saliva, staring intently at the suckling pig, which was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Xiao Weijing was not mean, "Sit down and eat together."
Accompanying their master through life and death, the two of them had no inhibitions and decisively joined the pig-eating team.
Mmm, it smells so good!
Halfway through eating, Eleven suddenly remembered something very important. The sword he used to chop the pig seemed not to have been wiped clean.
The prince has mysophobia, if he knew about it... he wouldn't even tell me if he was beaten to death!
There is nothing that a delicious meal cannot solve. Eat three pigs and half a pot of Huadiao wine, and the depression that has been pent up in your heart will be swept away.
After eating and drinking, Xiao Weijing threw the banknote to Chujiu, "Take it for emergencies."
On the ninth day of the lunar month, after two drinks, he couldn't find Bei. "Go to Yuelai Pawn Shop to redeem the princess's dowry?"
Xiao Weijing rolled his eyes at him. Chujiu was so frightened that he trembled and was really confused.
How can this money be enough to redeem the princess's entire dowry? If it is redeemed in batches, wouldn't it tell the world that the prince is a poor man?
He gave the banknote to Butler Zhou as if he had cut off a piece of flesh, "Save some money and don't spend too much money on it."
Shen Ning waited patiently until the third day and came early to block Xiao Weijing.
Ignoring his coffin expression, she asked for money, "Where's my dowry?"
Xiao Weijing's face turned dark, she could always provoke his temper easily.
