"Also, don't forget to keep an eye on Xiao Yuanting's secret vault." Yun Zishu's expression was slightly cold, "That is Xiao Yuanting's most deadly weapon."
Ten thousand taels of gold was certainly a big deal for her, but was it the ten thousand taels that Yun Zishu lacked?
What she lacks is evidence to put the Xiao family to death.
The money she wanted was small, and Mrs. Xiao could get it, so how could she force Xiao Yuanting to open the secret treasury?
"Don't worry, Your Highness." Sicang's voice was cold, "The secret agent assigned by his humble position in the Xiao family will keep a close eye on it. As long as Xiao Yuanting opens the secret vault, he will be able to find the hidden mechanism and key lock."
Yun Zishu raised her eyes slightly, her thoughts drifting further away.
Thinking of the crimes she suffered in the Xiao family in her previous life, a very cold arc passed through the corner of Yun Zishu's mouth. Once the Xiao family died, she would become the target of public criticism. All the civil and military ministers who did not take her to heart in the past would look at her sideways - this is not
Good thing.
Because it will attract more hostility and opposition, her father will also be more eager to kill her.
But it doesn't matter, there are always many things to do, and the situations that should be faced will eventually have to be faced. Of course she should try to find time to recharge her batteries, but some people are always unwilling to let her live in peace.
In that case, let's be chaotic.
The messier the better.
Two days passed in a flash.
Princess Jinning’s Mansion once again sent a message.
Yun Zishu stared at the post quietly for a while, and finally went to Princess Jinning's mansion as promised. She was generous and unobtrusive, bringing Leng Yue and Leng Shuang with her.
As soon as they met, the eldest princess Jinning scolded: "Have you been obsessed with money recently? Taking away your own dowry does not count. You even asked your mother-in-law to take the money, forcing Mrs. Xiao to borrow money everywhere. Yun
Zishu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Yun Zishu paused slightly and turned her head to look around.
They are now standing in the second courtyard of Princess Jinning's Mansion. The open hall is wide open. If anyone is outside, they can clearly hear their voices.
Looking away, Yun Zishu said calmly: "Why is aunt so angry? I am asking Mrs. Xiao for money not for myself, but for Xiao Yunheng's injury to get better treatment?"
"That's nonsense." Princess Jinning looked angry, "What medicine requires ten thousand taels of gold? Tianshan snow lotus? Thousand-year-old ginseng? Hundred-year-old polygonum multiflorum?"
"Xiao Yunheng has recovered very well from his injuries since he arrived at my palace. This is due to my careful care. He invited the most skilled doctors and gave him the best medicine... As for what medicine was used,
I didn't even ask." Yun Zishu said in a calm tone, "Apart from soups and medicines, Xiao Yunheng also eats well in the house and has never treated him badly with delicacies from the mountains and seas. Ten thousand taels of gold shouldn't be too much."
Princess Jinning said: "Didn't you take your dowry back?"
Yun Zishu frowned: "My dowry is mine, what does it have to do with Xiao Yunheng? Are you using my dowry to serve him? If you tell me, it will bring shame to the Xiao family."
"you--"
"Besides, I still owe the Royal Treasure Pavilion ten thousand taels of gold. If I give him all the dowry, how can I repay the debt?"
When Princess Jinning heard this, a look of "Sure enough" slowly appeared on her face, "You asked the Xiao family for 10,000 taels of gold to pay off the debt of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion?"
"Not really."
"What's not the case? You're still quibbling now? You're vain, and you're pretending to be fat when you don't have money. Now you're taking money from the Xiao family to pay off your debt. Yun Zishu, why are you—"
"Auntie, have you finished speaking?" Yun Zishu frowned, "You invited me here just to scold me indiscriminately?"
Princess Jinning said solemnly: "What you did is too much."
"Yeah." Yun Zishu nodded casually, as if she didn't care, "It's too much."
Princess Jinning said: "The Xiao family borrows money everywhere, don't you feel any guilt at all?"
Yun Zishu thought for a while, then showed a slightly guilty expression to save face, "It's a bit true."
Leng Yue lowered her head with a subtle expression.
Princess Jinning looked at her coldly and suddenly softened her tone: "Mrs. Xiao has already thought of ways to raise money. It's not inconvenient for me to say anything more about this matter. I just hope that after taking the money, you can go back to the Xiao family with Xiao Yunheng."
Live a good life."
Yun Zishu said nothing.
"Zishu." Princess Jinning sighed, took the initiative to hold Yun Zishu's hand, and said sincerely, "Yunwu is my daughter-in-law. When things happen to the Xiao family, I will inevitably care. The so-called concern is chaos.
, if my tone is not good, please bear with me."
Yun Zishu said calmly: "Auntie, there is no need to blame yourself."
"Can you live a good life in the future?" Princess Jinning's attitude became gentler, "I will let Yun Heng treat you well and never let you be wronged again. If he dares to make the same mistakes as before, I will definitely
Spare him lightly."
She spoke in a tone of voice as if Xiao Yunheng was her son.
Seeing her drastically changed attitude, Yun Zishu didn't expose it and nodded slowly: "I will consider it."
What else to consider?
Princess Jinning was angry at her lack of knowledge, but she remained kind on her face: "Mrs. Xiao has really regretted these days and will try her best to make up for you. If you ask for money, she will quickly find a way to get the money without saying a word.
Just to make you happy, you must not let down your mother-in-law, do you understand?"
Yun Zishu was silent for a moment: "Auntie doesn't plan to let me in? Then I'll go back first."
"No, it's not." Princess Jinning quickly stepped aside and led Yun Zishu into the inner courtyard and along the corridor to the garden. "I am free today and want to tell you a few words from my heart."
Yun Zishu happened to be free and was willing to lend a helping hand.
Princess Jinning held Yun Zishu's hand throughout the whole process, changing her previous arrogant and overbearing attitude, and became like a kind mother: "I ignored you in the past. I didn't know that you were wronged in the Xiao family. It was my dereliction of duty."
, I am ashamed of you."
Yun Zishu said: "Auntie, you don't have to say that."
"In the end, it was Li Xue who was the one who got in the way. If she hadn't been making trouble, pretending to be weak, and coaxing Xiao Yunheng to be obsessed with her all day long, Xiao Yunheng would not have left you, a beautiful and noble princess, as his real wife, instead of doting on that sweet talker.
The concubine of Bad Water." Princess Jinning put all the responsibility on Li Xue, "As a royal princess and a head wife, we should be more generous. When we encounter problems, we should solve them when they need to be solved, and don't divorce our husbands easily.
Every couple has disputes. You can't divorce your husband every time there is a conflict, right?"
Yun Zishu hummed: "Auntie makes sense."
Jinning thought she had heard it, and there was a look of satisfaction on her face: "Listen to aunt, you must not be so willful in the future, and show the demeanor of a mistress of the house. If Li Xue dares to play tricks, you can let her taste it."
The consequences of playing scheming, can a real wife not even be able to deal with a concubine?"
Being the matron of the house?
With Madam Xiao holding her down, will someone else take the position of the mistress of the Xiao family?
However, Yun Zishu was too lazy to argue with her and still nodded: "Auntie is absolutely right."
