Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 34: The Prince Returns the Silver
Chun Xia was full of anger: "You ate it, not the prince, why should the prince pay for it?"
"I am the prince's concubine, and we are married. His money is my money. Why can't the prince help me pay for it?" Li Wanrong replied as a matter of course.
"Bah, you are just a concubine, how can you be qualified to be called a wife of the prince? Who gives you the face?"
Li Wanrong was furious when she heard Chun Xia's humiliating words: "The prince promised me that if he had to marry another woman in the future, he would only be with me. What else can we do but be husband and wife?"
Chun Xia responded bluntly: "The title of the Duke's wife belongs to my eldest daughter, and you are a concubine now and will remain a concubine in the future. Don't ever think of occupying the title of the Duke's wife."
"You..." Chun Xia's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Li Wanrong's heart: "It's not your turn as a maid to point fingers at my affairs."
He Shulan scratched her ears. She knew the prince's attitude from the beginning, and she didn't care about his preference for Li Wanrong. "Chun Xia, don't forget that the purpose of our trip is to get the silver back."
Chunxia then realized that she had been so busy bickering with Aunt Li that she had forgotten about the money: "Yes, hurry up and give me the food allowance for the next two months."
"Didn't I just say this? Go ask the prince for this money. I have no money to give you." Li Wanrong had no intention of giving so much money. She hoped that the prince would waive the money for his sake.
Chunxia looked at He Shulan. She had never seen anyone as shameless as Li Wanrong.
He Shulan glanced at Li Wanrong and thought of the last time when the old lady took away all the silver she had coveted from the yard. She guessed that she really had no silver left on her.
Since the prince was here to lobby for Li Wanrong, she should ask him for the silver. Just as she was about to leave, she saw the prince walking in from the gate.
Li Wanrong didn't wait for He Shulan to speak, she ran over and hugged the prince's arm, her tone indescribably charming: "Prince, the princess came to ask me for the food expenses for the past two months."
"This is what I discussed with the Princess before. You give the silver to the Princess."
Li Wanrong glared at the prince in dissatisfaction. Did he know that He Shuzhen was asking for an exorbitant price from her? "In the past two months, the princess has not only to go to the outskirts of the capital to distribute porridge, but also to take care of my meals. It's not easy, but it's a bit expensive. It costs one thousand silver coins."
"The delicacies you eat every day? How much silver does it cost?" the prince asked in surprise.
"I don't know either." Li Wanrong looked aggrieved.
He Shulan, who was sitting there, showed a faint smile. This Li Wanrong, who usually looked quite brainless, went to the prince to complain, and her mouth was quite smooth: "Chun Xia, give the account book to the prince."
The prince took the account book and looked at it carefully. Although Li Wanrong was quite picky, the most expensive thing she ate was bird's nest. The rest were ordinary home-cooked dishes. The prices were indeed ridiculously expensive. He raised his head and looked at He Shulan: "Did you calculate wrongly?"
He Shulan replied calmly, "No." She repeated her words in front of the prince, "I sold it to Li Wanrong according to the price of the day in the capital."
For a moment, the princess didn't know how to bargain with He Shulan. She had found He Shulan in the first place in order to get a bargain, but she didn't expect to still have to spend so much money.
He had already paid back nearly 10,000 taels of silver for Li Wanrong, and was unable to advance the 1,000 taels of silver for Li Wanrong. In front of He Shulan and the servants, he was so embarrassed that he couldn't say, "Can you give me a discount?"
"No." He Shulan refused without hesitation. Most of the dishes came from her farm and did not require money, but she did not want to let Li Wanrong get away with it. "The kitchen staff also needs so much money to buy the dishes from outside."
Li Wanrong pointed her slender white finger at He Shulan angrily: "You are so shameless for money. Many of the dishes are from your farm. Don't think that the prince doesn't know and you are talking nonsense here."
He Shulan raised her eyebrows slightly. She would not admit it. "The vegetables grown on the farm are limited. With so many people in the mansion, they will be eaten up soon. If there are no more, we can only go outside the mansion to buy them."
This answer was simply impossible to refute. Li Wanrong said sarcastically: "You are quite good at lying with your eyes open."
"I am telling the truth."
The prince did not want to continue arguing, so he could only accept the silver: "I don't have enough silver on me. I will have my servants deliver the silver to your yard in a few days."
"Okay." After the prince said this, He Shulan did not continue.
After He Shulan led the maid away, Li Wanrong began to flatter the prince: "I feel that the princess is deliberately blackmailing me."
The prince didn't know how to answer. He Shulan accepted the money reasonably. "Things can't be changed. I can't refuse to pay the money. I will find a way to collect the money for He Shulan."
Li Wanrong was so heartbroken that she thought she could deny paying the money with the help of the prince. However, she didn't expect that He Shulan was so powerful that she didn't even give the prince face.
If I want to make some changes to my current life, I have to hurry up and put the building of the restaurant on the agenda: "Prince, do you remember the last time I mentioned building a restaurant to you?"
"Remember, but I don't recommend doing this. Not only does it take a long time to build the house, but it also takes a long time to renovate it. It will take a long time to earn back the money."
Li Wanrong could only settle for the next best thing: "There should be a house to buy in the suburbs. Let's start small first, and when we make money, we can expand the restaurant. What do you think?"
The prince was silent for a while. If Li Wanrong wanted to use the money in the prince's mansion, she couldn't embezzle it at will. She needed money to maintain her daily expenses. She didn't need to invest too much at one time. She could consider it. "We don't know what the specific situation is in the suburbs. Let's go and take a look before making a decision."
Seeing that the prince agreed, Li Wanrong hugged the prince excitedly and kissed her hard on the face: "You are so good to me."
Li Wanrong's enthusiasm made the prince blush.
……
Chunxia followed He Shulan back to the courtyard and couldn't hold back any longer. She laughed out loud, "Princess, you are really too mean. It turns out that you asked me to write down the floating prices in the capital every day in order to blackmail Aunt Li."
Qiudong also reacted and laughed along.
"Li Wanrong is not related to me, and she wants to take advantage of me. How can I take advantage of her so easily? Of course, I have to sell the food to her at the market price." He Shulan smiled and replied, "Chunxia, you go to the farm tomorrow. During this period, the villagers who help farm and run back and forth to the capital will be rewarded with two taels of silver each."
