In the evening, Xiao Yuanting and his wife came to the Jiuchang Princess Mansion in person and brought the 10,000 taels of gold that Yun Zishu wanted. After getting off the car, he asked someone to call the door.
Following Yun Zishu's instructions, Butler Cheng opened the door to welcome Xiao Yuanting and his wife, and took the box and asked them to take it down.
"Stop." Xiao Yuanting saw several servants moving the boxes down and said coldly, "Where is Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess? Don't you need to count the amount in person?"
Butler Cheng said: "No, our Highness has said that we believe in General Xiao's character."
"I want to see Her Royal Highness the Ninth Princess."
Butler Cheng thought for a while and nodded: "Please follow me."
So Xiao Yuanting and his wife were taken to Qifeng Palace and met Yun Zishu in the courtyard.
"I have met the Ninth Princess." Xiao Yuanting saluted calmly, "Three days are up. I have sent the 10,000 taels of gold that the Ninth Princess asked for and asked the Ninth Princess to take a look."
After a pause, "In order to make it easier to carry, I exchanged the gold for gold tickets."
Yun Zishu raised her chin and signaled Butler Cheng to open the box.
A stack of thick gold tickets was placed neatly in the box. The denominations were all one hundred taels. Leng Shuang walked over, took out the gold tickets and counted them face to face. No more, no less, exactly one hundred.
"This is a gold ticket redeemed by the most prestigious Fengxiang Bank in the capital. There will be no credibility problems." Xiao Yuanting said, "If the Ninth Princess is worried, I can also go and redeem the gold in person and carry it into the princess's house in a box.
.”
"No need to bother." Yun Zishu said in a calm tone, "I happen to owe Yubao Pavilion 10,000 taels of gold. Leng Shuang, please send these 10,000 taels of gold to the boss of Yubao Pavilion early tomorrow morning. They are big experts.
We will verify the authenticity.”
"yes."
Mrs. Xiao looked gloomy. When she mentioned the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, she naturally thought of the set of phoenix crown hairpins that Yun Zishu gave to the Queen Mother at the imperial concubine's Qianqiu Banquet.
At first, Yun Zishu borrowed the phoenix crown to please the Queen Mother and owed ten thousand taels of gold, but now it is the Xiao family who pays back the money...
Thinking of this, Mrs. Xiao really felt aggrieved.
Yun Zishu didn't pay a cent of her own money, but she got such a big backer as the Queen Mother for nothing?
"General Xiao is interested." Yun Zishu stood on the palace steps, ignoring the change in Mrs. Xiao's expression, "Since General Xiao is here, take Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue back."
With that said, he turned around and ordered, "Bring Mr. Xiao and Mrs. Side here."
"yes."
Mrs. Xiao thought of Princess Jinning's words, temporarily suppressed her displeasure, raised her head to look at Yun Zishu, and asked tentatively: "When will the Ninth Princess move back?"
Yun Zishu said: "I still need to think about it."
"But……"
"I have been feeling slightly unwell for the past two days."
Mrs. Xiao suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Yes."
Not long after, Xiao Yunheng and Li Xue came over under the guidance of the steward. They were slightly startled when they saw their father and mother, and then they stepped forward and saluted: "Father, mother, why are you here?"
"Auntie!" Li Xue walked quickly to Mrs. Xiao, her expression of surprise and joy was definitely not fake, "Why are you and uncle here?"
Xiao Yuanting and Mrs. Xiao subconsciously ignored Li Xue and began to look at their son. He looked really good. Although Xiao Yunheng was locked up for another three days, he had deliberately taken care of himself in the past two days, and Xiao Yunheng had just entered the house.
He was seriously injured and his face was pale and colorless. He was much better now than before. In the eyes of Xiao Yuanting and Mrs. Xiao, he naturally did not look too haggard.
It's just that Xiao Yunheng's expression didn't look happy.
Xiao Yuanting glanced across Li Xue's face, frowned, and looked at Xiao Yunheng: "How is it? Are the injuries healed?"
"It's no longer a problem. Thank you for your father's concern." Xiao Yunheng said, "Thanks to Her Royal Highness for taking good care of me."
He said this originally because he wanted to win Yun Zishu's favor and take the opportunity to win her back, but Xiao Yuanting really thought that he was living a good life during this period, and his anger at being blackmailed for 10,000 taels of gold couldn't help but fade away.
"Come home with me."
"Go home?" Xiao Yunheng was stunned.
Xiao Yuanting nodded, not wanting to mention the threat of poisoning: "Go home first, I have something to tell you."
Xiao Yunheng glanced at Yun Zishu, and he had a lot to say in his heart, but he didn't know how to say it.
"Auntie, are we going back?" Li Xue was looking forward to it, and couldn't hide the excitement in her voice, "I miss my aunt so much..."
Xiao Yunheng looked at Li Xue silently, his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, cold and frightening.
"What's wrong?" Xiao Yuanting noticed something unusual and looked at his son calmly, "What happened?"
Mrs. Xiao also looked at him strangely: "Yun Heng, you don't want to leave here?"
She thought her son was angry because Li Xue's expression was too excited, which would cause Yun Zishu's misunderstanding. She was about to speak to comfort him, but she saw Xiao Yunheng quickly looking away, "It's nothing."
He was too embarrassed to speak of such a shameful humiliation, and he didn't even want Yun Zishu to know about it.
However, Xiao Yunheng was too angry today to think about anything else. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder, who is Li Xue's mistress?
"Young Master Xiao is not used to living in the Princess Mansion and is reluctant to leave, right?" Leng Yue joked, "Actually, it's okay to stay, but..."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Li Xue was afraid that Xiao Yunheng really wanted to stay, so she interrupted Leng Yue hastily, "The Ninth Princess is not nice to Brother Heng at all, Brother Heng will not stay!"
Leng Yue snorted, really thinking that the princess wanted him to stay.
Xiao Yunheng glanced at Li Xue displeased, and Li Xue timidly explained: "Brother Heng, I just..." Unfortunately, Xiao Yunheng was not in the mood to listen to her explanation. After thinking about it again and again, he finally decided to go back to Xiao's house first.
Although he lived in the princess's mansion during this period, he did not take advantage of the advantage of being close to the water. Instead, he was hampered by others. He was often locked up in Qingchen Residence, with no one to take care of him. The most important thing was that he had to advance to see Yun Zishu
Tell me, how do you have any rights as a husband?
What's more, there is Li Xue, a watery bitch.
When he thought of Li Xue hooking up with someone behind his back, Xiao Yunheng couldn't help but feel a fire of destruction in his heart, wishing to tear Li Xue into pieces.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunheng couldn't help but look at Yun Zishu, secretly thinking that Yun Zishu probably didn't know about this, otherwise she would just know how to ridicule him.
I used to regard Li Xue as a treasure, but now that I think about it, it's really ironic.
"Thank you for your hospitality, princess." Xiao Yunheng restrained his emotions and bowed to Yun Zishu, "Yunheng looks forward to the day when he and the princess can resolve their feud."
Xiao Yuanting observed his attitude silently, and now he vaguely understood that Yun Heng's attitude towards Yun Zishu had indeed changed a lot, and his attitude towards Li Xue...
"No." Yun Zishu turned around and entered the palace. She was not interested in staying here to deal with their family of three, "It's best not to see them again."
