TV series: Daily life of male supporting role
Chapter 40: Step by Step, Time Travel, Big Mixed Stew: 9th Prince 03
Although the Fourth Prince has now returned to Concubine De's side, he grew up under the care of Empress Xiaoyi Ren and has connections on Empress Xiaoyi Ren's side, so his strength should not be underestimated.
It is not scary that the Ninth Prince joins the Fourth Prince's camp. What is scary is that the Tenth Prince will also join the Fourth Prince's camp. Everyone knows that the relationship between the Ninth Prince and the Tenth Prince is the closest, even the Eighth Prince cannot compare to them.
Behind the Tenth Prince is the Manchu noble family Niohuru.
The Eighth Prince was the most relieved, as his power was too weak. The Ninth Prince was rich and the Tenth Prince was powerful, and they were his most important network supports. He could not live without these two.
If these two people no longer support him, it will be difficult for him to win over his ministers.
His prestige among the ministers was driven by money. Without money, no one would be willing to follow a prince of humble status like him.
Before the Eighth Prince could say anything, the eunuch beside Concubine Liang hurriedly found him and asked him to go to Concubine Liang's palace, as Concubine Liang wanted to see him about something important.
Helplessly, the Eighth Prince had to go to Concubine Liang first, and then go to find the Ninth Prince when he had time.
When the tenth prince Yin saw the eighth prince Yinsi leave, he quickly ran to Yinzhen's side and said, "Ninth brother, I'm going to your house to eat and drink for free."
The corner of Yinzhen's mouth twitched. This guy was eating and drinking for free and seemed to be so confident.
This made him think of his younger brother Shen Ting.
That guy has the same personality as Yin, both of them are carefree, stupid and rich second-generation dude.
Dong E was preparing breakfast at home. Knowing that the Tenth Prince was also coming, she quickly ordered someone to go to the small kitchen to prepare a few more of the Tenth Prince's favorite dishes.
After the Tenth Prince had eaten and drunk his fill, he asked the Ninth Prince tentatively, "Ninth Brother, do you not want to continue following the Eighth Brother?"
Yinzhen glanced at him and asked, "What do you think of Bage's attitude towards us?"
"Hmm..." The Tenth Prince thought carefully, "It's okay."
The Tenth Prince looked at the Ninth Prince, "But what does this have to do with you and the Eighth Prince being estranged?"
Yinzhen put down the teacup in his hand and sighed, "I discovered something. In addition to taking money from me to win people's hearts, my brother also took silver from the national treasury."
"What!" The Tenth Prince's eyes widened. "The Eighth Prince is crazy. He even got his hands on the money in the national treasury. Isn't he afraid of being punished by our father?"
"Oh, I thought so too." The Ninth Prince nodded. "The money I gave him should have been enough for him to do his work, but he still touched the money from the national treasury. It's hard for me not to suspect that he was hiding something from us."
"You mean... the Eighth Prince is doing something and is trying to keep it from us."
"Yeah." Yinzhen nodded again.
"Oh!"
The Tenth Prince pounded his fists and pounded the table hard.
"Humph! In that case, I won't associate with him anymore."
The Tenth Prince seemed to remember something and asked again, "Ninth Brother, what's going on between you and Fourth Brother?"
"What's going on? That's it!" Yinzhen took a sip of tea, "We've both met Honghui. He's my favorite among all the nephews. I don't want anything to happen to him."
The Tenth Prince thought about it and felt that Honghui was indeed smarter and more polite than the others.
Even though he and the Ninth Prince did not have a good relationship with his father, he was still very polite to them and would call them uncles and say hello to them.
"Yeah, what does adult matters have to do with children? Then I'll go back and see if I have anything to give to him. I like this child very much." The Tenth Prince touched his head and thought about whether there was anything in his warehouse that the child might like.
"It's good that you think so, but we can't cut off contact with Starling all at once. We need to do it slowly."
"Well, I'll listen to Brother Nine."
After Yinzhen dealt with the Tenth Prince, he had to deal with the Eighth Prince in the afternoon.
The purpose of the Eighth Prince coming to the mansion was very simple, which was to borrow money.
Yinzhen was also very straightforward and asked the Eighth Prince to sign a promissory note so that he could borrow the money.
When the Eighth Prince heard that he had to sign a promissory note, he was stunned for a moment and looked at the Ninth Prince in disbelief. He would never sign such a thing when borrowing money before.
Yinzhen saw the look on the Eighth Prince's face and sneered in his heart. Borrowing money and not paying it back, how could such a good thing happen in this world? You still think I'm the sucker I used to be.
Seeing that the Eighth Prince was in trouble, Yinzhen pretended to have a headache and said, "Eighth Brother, you also know that I have been seriously ill these days. All the affairs in the mansion are now managed by Fu Jin. When she checked the accounts, she found that I was always inexplicably short of tens of thousands of taels of silver every month. She wanted me to tell you where the silver went and whether I used it to go whoring. Eighth Brother, I have taken great pains not to expose you..."
The Eighth Prince wanted to say something, but Yinzhen continued, "Fujin also said that if I spend money recklessly or make friends with bad people, she would report it to my mother. If my mother knew, my father would definitely know too. If my father knew, then..."
Before Yinzhen finished speaking, the eighth prince Yinsi could already think that if his father knew about it, he would investigate where the money went, and eventually find out that he had used the money to form a clique for personal gain.
The emperor has always hated the close relationship between princes and ministers. If he were to find out, he would really have no chance of getting that position.
"Don't worry, Ninth Brother, I will pay you back. I'll write the IOU."
Yinsi gritted his teeth and signed the IOU for 30,000 taels of silver.
Originally, Yinsi wanted to borrow a sum of 100,000 or 80,000 yuan like before, but unfortunately he couldn't pay it back so quickly, so he had to reduce the amount.
After everyone left, Yinzhen picked up the IOU with the ink still wet on it, blew on it to his lips, and looked at it with a smile on his face.
"Master." Dong E walked out from behind the screen and looked at the smile on Yinzhen's face, and she also smiled.
"You really blocked Mr. Ba's path this time."
Yinzhen held the person in his arms and said, "Don't blame me for lying in your name."
"How can you say you are lying, Master?" Dong E lay on Yinzhen's chest, listening to his strong heartbeat. "I don't like the Eighth Master borrowing money from you without restraint."
"Well, I won't do that again." Yinzhen patted her on the back. "From now on, I will give the money I earn to you, Fujin, to manage. You can buy things for the house, and you can also increase the children's pocket money. There is no reason why the children of my God of Wealth Jiu Ye should have less pocket money than other princes."
"Okay." Dong E nestled in Yinzhen's arms with a happy look on her face.
Dong E felt that the Ninth Master had changed a lot. He had this family in his heart and no longer followed the Eighth Prince blindly.
Her relationship with him returned to the days of their marriage.
She believed that in the long run, their family's life would get better and better.
