After my rebirth, I became the white moonlight in the Beijing circle

Time flies, and it is Yunling's birthday.

Lu Linchu waited for several days at the Yunlai Inn on Huaguang Street, but the servant who came to buy fireworks didn't come back, so he was anxious and sent someone back to ask.

When he learned that his father not only stopped the fireworks dealer, but also completely cut off his source of income, he became furious on the spot.

"It must be that shameless woman who instigated the prince and princess to embarrass the prince."

Yun Ling was so angry that her face turned red. She sat in front of Lu Linchu and kept complaining: "She just doesn't want the best for the prince."

The servant who came back to report the news couldn't bear to hear it, so he told Lu Linchu the truth about what happened in the palace, and finally said something fair: "Sir, this time it was indeed because of the Crown Prince's wife's plea that the prince and his wife did not get angry, otherwise the servants and the Crown Prince would not be able to escape punishment."

"Who wants her to be kind?"

Yun Ling pursed her lips and said unhappily, "Linchu, don't believe the lies of these lowly slaves. That woman is clearly pretending to be pitiful and weak in front of the prince and princess. She just can't stand the prince's doting on me."

"She is weak by nature, why should she pretend?" Lu Linchu snorted disapprovingly.

He had already expected that what happened today would anger his father, but he was not doing this just for his own selfish reasons.

It’s a pity that the father doesn’t know his son.

After all, the father failed to understand his son's good intentions.

"Forget it, let's go back home." He sighed softly and had to tell Fangyi, Tan Qiu and others to pack their bags.

"But today is my birthday, and the prince promised to hold a fireworks show for me."

Yun Ling was unwilling to comply and started crying sadly: "Linchu, half of the noble families in Yundu have come to Xuancheng. Do you want that woman to laugh at me?"

"You are the woman of my Prince Liyang. Who dares to laugh at you?" Lu Linchu curled his lips in dissatisfaction.

Seeing her aggrieved look, he could only comfort her: "I will try to compensate you when we return to the palace."

"No, I don't want it."

Yun Ling gritted her teeth and said fiercely, "I want to see the fireworks all over Xuancheng tonight."

"You..." Lu Linchu choked with anger.

Just at this time, the merchant creditors who had gone to the Liyang Palace in Beijing to demand silver came back. When they learned that they did not get the silver, they all gathered in front of the inn.

Upon hearing the voice, Lu Linchu took the servants and went out first.

"Your Highness, the prince has issued a notice in black and white that we are not allowed to support His Highness anymore. Please be kind and don't make things difficult for us. Please pay us the expenses for the next five days."

The president of Xuancheng Chamber of Commerce respectfully handed the notice from the palace to Lu Linchu, and also gave him the accounts of the expenses in the past few days.

"The merchants on Huaguang Street have been working hard to entertain the distinguished guests over the past five days, spending money on them, fearing that they would not be able to entertain them well enough. Up to now, they have spent a total of 28,000 taels of silver."

Hearing the noise outside, Yun Ling wiped away her tears and walked out carefree.

"It's only 28,000 taels of silver, just the price of my Linchu's pet. Are you afraid that the prince can't afford it?"

Yun Ling smiled and said to the children of the noble families who were watching, "Everyone, eat and play as much as you want. Don't listen to their alarmist words."

Although there were many onlookers on the street who had some contacts with Lu Linchu, most of them came to show their support because they heard that Huaguang Street had been booked out and that they could eat, drink and have fun for free.

Now that they heard that Prince Liyang had personally ordered to stop the supply of money to the prince, who would dare to stay any longer? They immediately dispersed.

Even Lu Linchu's close friends were afraid of King Liyang's power and said goodbye to him one after another.

"Don't leave."

Yun Ling wanted to stop them, but the originally bustling street became quiet in the blink of an eye, with only the creditors who were collecting their debts left.

"Go back first." Human nature changes so suddenly. Lu Linchu was at a loss and angrily told the servants to leave.

"His Royal Highness."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce knelt down with a crowd of people, saying, "Food is the primary need of the people. If you leave, half of the merchants on Huaguang Street will go bankrupt. Please have mercy on us, Prince."

"What do you want?"

Seeing that the servants in front of him were eager to go up and fight, Lu Linchu stopped them first.

"Please pay the money before you leave, and give us a chance to live."

The president of the Chamber of Commerce used courtesy first and then force, which gave the prince enough face and showed no fear.

After all, those who can come to Huaguang Street to do business are not so easy to bully. Most of them have some background in Yundu City.

Lu Linchu naturally understood the reason behind this, and suppressed his anger, saying, "I will send someone to deliver the silver when I return home."

"Your Highness, I'm afraid you're just trying to coax a three-year-old child."

The Chamber of Commerce president was still polite and said, "If it was only a matter of a hundred or so taels of silver, even if it was a thousand taels, we could give it to the prince as a gift to make friends with a noble, but now it has become so big that it concerns our survival."

"Yes, the prince originally said that he would pay us all on the first day, but he has been in arrears for five days in a row. If the merchants who went to the palace to collect the money had not run fast, they would have been beaten out. How can we rest assured if the prince does not give us a clear explanation today?"

"Please have mercy on me, my lord. I have borrowed a lot of money at high interest rates for your business. If you don't pay me back, how will my family survive?"

The merchants complained bitterly one by one, and Lu Linchu was really fed up with listening to them, so he turned around and went back to the inn.

"That shameless person from the Fu family is really too cruel to play with the prince like this."

Yun Ling followed behind him, complaining: "She is a daughter of an official family after all, doesn't she know that a man's dignity is the most important thing?"

Lu Linchu knew in his heart that this matter was definitely not something that could be led by the person from the Fu family.

Moreover, he knew the servant beside him best and he didn't dare to speak to her.

Having lost all face today, he no longer had the heart to care about Yun Ling, but he couldn't just leave and lock himself in the room.

Tingxu, who was standing beside him, had seen through the situation in the palace. While Yunling was in the guest room taking care of the young master and Miss Yu, he whispered, "Prince, the Crown Princess is now in charge of the family, and the prince and princess listen to the Crown Princess the most. Why don't we surrender to the Crown Princess and ask her to save us?"

After thinking for a while, he hurriedly added, "Kyoto is not our Liyang City after all. If the merchants insist on holding the prince hostage, even if they report it to the government, we will not do anything about it."

Lu Linchu was silent for a moment, then said calmly, "Get lost."

Tingxu tactfully retreated quickly.

The two sides remained in a stalemate for several days.

Yun Ling was almost sick from holding back in the inn, so she had to give in and beg Lu Linchu: "Prince, I want to go back to Yurongju. Please ask the Fu family to redeem us quickly. After all, you will be the master of the palace in the future. Why should she ignore us?"

Lu Linchu remained indifferent.

He would never ask that person.

At first, the president of the Chamber of Commerce asked people to treat him to good food and drinks, but this plague god stayed in Huaguang Street all the time, which not only caused heavy expenses but also made it impossible to do business.

There were few customers in front of each house all day long and business was very bad.

On the tenth day, everyone could no longer hold on, so the Chamber of Commerce president and his men knelt in front of the Yunlai Inn and begged for mercy.

It happened that Lu Qingchen was not suited to the climate of Xuancheng and caught a spring cold, becoming seriously ill. Lu Linchu collected the loose change from the servants and used up the medicine sent by the Chamber of Commerce, but still failed to alleviate his son's condition. He knew that this time his father and mother had completely hardened their hearts and ignored him, so he wrote a letter helplessly and sent it to the Chuxian Palace in the prince's mansion.
