The end of the world begins with the king

Chapter 171

Yuzhu returned home, she looked tired at the moment.

After sending Wu and Liushi away, the concubine asked her to go home and rest. Her state today is really not suitable for serving others.

Back home, Yuzhu's husband Liu Bao was sitting in the room, holding a small cage in his hand, and there was a little squirrel jumping around in it.

Seeing this scene, Yuzhu said in a bad mood: "I know how to play all day long, this thing can grow a few taels of meat, the food we feed it is not as good as our own!"

Not to mention, although her words are not pleasant, they are the most reasonable of this era.

Liu Bao smiled, put down the plaything in his hand and stepped forward, "Lady, what are you talking about, our family still needs it to eat?"

Yuzhu is Xue Baoyun's confidant maid, so she has a high status at home, and Liu Bao has to laugh with her in front of her.

Sitting back on the chair, Yuzhu poured herself a glass of water before saying: "Recently, the palace has been strictly inspected, and I can't bring more things home. We really need to save food in the future!"

"It's okay for us to be hungry, but don't starve Xiaoyan, by the way... Where is Xiaoyan?"

Xiaoyan is the son of the two of them, he is almost five years old now, just the age to be mischievous.

"Run out to play!" Liu Bao also sat back on the chair and teased the squirrel in his cage again.

Seeing him play like this, the anger on Yu Zhu's face gradually subsided, Liu Bao laughed out loud.

"Don't worry, with me here... you will never miss your food!" Liu Bao said proudly.

Yuzhu couldn't help sneering, if this family hadn't been supported by her, it would have been as well fed and clothed as it is now.

"Rely on you? I haven't seen you go out to cut bamboo and wood, and the food comes when you stay at home every day?"

"If you didn't rely on me, with your virtue, I'm afraid you would have starved to death!"

It can be said that Yuzhu didn't save any face for her husband at all, which severely hurt Liu Bao's self-esteem.

He stood up, grabbed his wife's hand and said, "You don't believe me, do you? Follow me!"

After saying that, Liu Bao ignored Yu Zhu, pulled her and walked out of the room.

The two of them got two rooms. After Liu Bao took Yuzhu to the next door, he took the ladder up to the attic.

After he went up to the attic, he waved to Yu Zhu downstairs: "Come up!"

There are sundries piled up in the attic, what are you going to do at this time?
Full of doubts, Yuzhu went up the stairs to the attic.

When she went up to the attic, she saw three sacks in front of her at a glance, two of which were full.

"What is this? I don't remember having these at home!"

Hearing this, Liu Bao said triumphantly, "These are all food!"

"Food? Where did it come from?" Yu Zhu's face turned cold.

"Hey...of course I earned it for our family!"

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Yuzhu's expression became more gloomy, and her tone became more severe: "How did you get it?"

For his wife, Liu Bao was a little afraid from the bottom of his heart, so at this moment he didn't dare to betray her anymore.

"When I went to the storage management office to pay for the grain, I took more every time!" Liu Bao replied honestly.

"The people in the warehouse management office are fools? You said you can get more if you take more?"

Yuzhu's tone was even colder, which made Liu Bao shudder.

"I used the name of the princess to take more, and each time I took an extra twenty or thirty catties...No one obstructed it!"

Hearing this, Yuzhu almost fainted.

Every overspend of food is recorded by the princess, and the accounts will definitely not correspond to the warehouse management office.

What was reported was [-] catties of grain overspending, but now the family has so much more, which makes Yuzhu feel extremely anxious.

The food in front of me, instead of being the hope of survival, has become a reminder for the family.

For a mere [-] catties of grain, even the princess had to go out of her way to make arrangements, so why should my family embezzle so much?

Moreover, she still used the name of the concubine, thinking of this...Yuzhu almost fainted from fright.

Seeing that his wife was a little unsteady, Liu Bao hurriedly stepped forward to support Yu Zhu's waist: "My lady, what's wrong with you?"

Yuzhu's eyes were dull, and she gradually regained her spirit after Liu Bao called out to her again and again.

"Miss, are you okay?" Liu Bao asked and answered
Unexpectedly, Yu Zhu's backhand was just a slap across the face, which made Liu Bao confused and froze in place for a while.

"You...you idiot!" Yuzhu couldn't help cursing, and after speaking, she continued to slap her in the face.

After all, Liu Bao is a man, so how could he let Yuzhu slap her in the face indiscriminately, and immediately restrain her with both hands.

"How did I become an idiot? If it wasn't for me... how could our family have so much food?" Liu Bao said angrily, feeling quite aggrieved for himself.

"You...do you know that our family is about to suffer a catastrophe!" Yuzhu roared, with a particularly ferocious expression.

Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, and then asked hesitantly: "What... what's wrong?"

"The trial office is checking the accounts of the court book. All expenditures are recorded, and the food you stole back is no exception!"

Hearing this, Liu Bao scratched his head, and said: "These are all recorded in Wangfei's account, so it won't implicate us!"

Yuzhu rolled her eyes in anger, and said angrily: "But Wangfei's own account does not have this extra food from our family!"

"You not only offended the prince, but also offended the princess. Don't you want our whole family to die?"

Liu Bao was stunned for a moment, but he really didn't think so much, so that he was frightened and froze after being pointed out by Yuzhu.

"Then...then what shall we do? My lady, think of a way!"

Seeing her husband panic-stricken, Yu Zhu thought to herself that her life was miserable, and she had to pay for such a thing.

Yuzhu tried her best to calm down, at this moment she had to think carefully, if she was not careful, it could be the difference between life and death.

While she was thinking, Liu Bao hurriedly said: "Madam, why don't we return these grains to the warehouse management office?"

"Do you think it's all right?" Yuzhu said angrily.

Just as Liu Bao continued to think about the countermeasures, Yuzhu said with deep eyes: "For the current plan, I can only confess to the princess. I hope that the princess will be able to rescue her after serving for many years!"

There must be no way to hide this matter, so it is better to tell the truth honestly, maybe you can win leniency.

"My lady... can this work?" Liu Bao looked worried.

"Take a dead horse as a living horse doctor!" Yu Zhu had no choice.

Only at this moment did she truly understand what it means to be "women are afraid of marrying the wrong man". She was really blind back then.

"Take down the food and prepare to return it!" Yu Zhu said with a heavy tone, turned around and went down the stairs.

Liu Bao responded, then carried a bag of grain, and went down the stairs.

When Yuzhu went down the stairs, she simply tidied up, and then hurried out the door.

At this moment, her sky is gray.

Fear wrapped her heart. The sky at home had collapsed, but she could only be supported by a weak woman.
