Chen Bo smiled gently at Li Haitang, "Thank you, sir."

As he spoke, he skillfully took out an ingot of silver from his pocket and handed it to Li Haitang.

When Li Haitang saw this large amount of silver, he was stunned, and then a deep meaning emerged in his eyes.

He said with a smile: "I heard that... before coming to Kyoto, the prince relied on selling paintings and copying books to support his studies?"

"...How can one save up such a large amount of silver?"

Even if it was given by Zhou, it is impossible to give it to someone casually.

After all, Chen Bo had no money.

At this time, Chen Bo smiled at Li Haitang and said, "Of course it's not just that simple. If you want to give it to someone else, you don't have to take out such a large amount of silver. Just take out some small change or copper coins."

"But Eunuch Li, what I give you is naturally not a reward."

"Eunuch Li, this is a gift of filial piety to you."

Li Haitang was stunned when listening to Chen Bo's unobtrusive and natural flattery.

Then he was overjoyed.

His face was as happy as an old chrysanthemum.

I really didn't expect... that the Prince of Yingwu looked so pure and elegant like a chrysanthemum, but the words he spoke were so beautiful!

"You say that, and I'm very happy."

"This is natural. People must be happy when they get along with each other. If we are not happy, why should we get along with each other?"

"My father-in-law and I hit it off right away. I hope you won't despise this silver. Although it's a small amount, it's what I have saved for many days."

As Chen Bo spoke, a lonely expression appeared on his face.

Li Haitang was immediately taken advantage of by him when he saw this. "Oh my... that's not what I meant. According to your merits, you are a juren, and according to your title, you are a prince."

"This amount of money is not less at all, not less at all!"

"As the saying goes, thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the emperor. As for the two of us, you are my boss, and whatever you say is what counts."

"This silver is so honest, so good!"

Li Haitang patted Chen Bo's shoulder with a smile.

With just a few short sentences, my favorable impression of him skyrocketed.

He felt that Chen Zhining's family spoke very nicely.

Chen Zhining's family are all good people.

Each of them is very tactful and well-liked.

Not like some people... Li Haitang thought, and turned to look at Yun who was kneeling not far away.

This woman...tsk tsk.

Li Haitang shook her head, complaining in her heart that this concubine was too unruly and too unpresentable.

I was reading out the imperial edict here, and she kept looking at me with that look, as if she wanted to kill me.

Even if the imperial edict was reading out to let Chen Bo inherit the position of the Earl's Mansion, and not to let her illegitimate son Chen Yaozu inherit the position of the Earl's Mansion, she couldn't lose her composure like this.

After all, it was strange that Chen Yaozu, a bastard, inherited the position of Earl Yingwu.

Moreover, Chen Yaozu even did such a thing in the street... We really can’t let Chen Yaozu be embarrassed.

Thinking of this, Li Haitang frowned, looked at Chen Bo and smiled at him: "...Prince, you are now the prince, and you will be the one in charge of this mansion in the future."

"It's time to clean up some of the filthy things in this mansion."

"Otherwise, if His Majesty and the Queen knew that you didn't have the power of thunder, they would blame you..."

"This filthy thing is really an eyesore when it's placed there."

"We are all family now, so it's fine if we don't clean it up.

It would be bad if I offend some noble person in the future."

The implication is that Li Haitang should deal with Yun Shi and prevent her from being so blatant and presumptuous.

Now that Li Haitang came with the emperor's edict to read it, she dared to stare at Li Haitang like that.

Who knows what else might happen after that.

After hearing this, Chen Bo immediately smiled gently at Li Haitang, and then walked forward to talk to Li Haitang.

The sleeves of his cloth shirt were wide and thick, revealing his poverty, and he looked like a scholar.

I was able to afford this shirt after working part-time for a long time.

However, in the eyes of people like Li Haitang, it is extremely poor.

Chen Bo smiled. His scholarly and simple appearance really added points to Li Haitang's eyes. Then he heard Chen Bo say.

"Eunuch Li is right. It's time to clean up some of the dirty things in the Bo's Mansion."

"...I will never let Eunuch Li down, and I will never let the house get into any more trouble like it did when my father was here."

Li Haitang nodded with a smile, then said goodbye to Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining, and went back to the palace in a carriage.

"..."

"Bah! A eunuch actually rides in a carriage?!"

Only when Li Haitang drove away in the carriage did Yun dare to speak.

The first thing she did was to curse Li Haitang.

After cursing, he looked at Chen Bo with contempt.

Her eyes were filled with anger and fear, "You are the new prince, then where is my son?!"

"I don't accept it, I don't accept it!"

"My son is my biological son! How can you, an adopted son, be the crown prince?!"

"My son is the crown prince!"

"It's just that my son... was framed by you. I asked him that day and he had money on him. I just don't know why the money suddenly disappeared... How could more than 260 taels of silver disappear for no reason! You must have done it on purpose!"

Yun yelled at Chen Bo and Zhou.

Seeing Yun's appearance, without waiting for Chen Bo and the others to say anything, Jiang Zhao and Chen Zhining next to them just gave a look and asked Nanny Zhang to drag Yun into the house.

Then, the door of the Earl's Mansion slowly closed.

No matter how people outside speculate, they can never guess what is going on inside the mansion.

......

As soon as they closed the door, several servants around Jiang Zhao came forward and pressed Yun onto a bench.

They tied up Yun and made her unable to move.

Yun looked at the ropes on his body and had a bad feeling for a moment.

"...What are you going to do?!"

"I'm Chen Bo's mistress, why are you tying me up?!"

"After all, I gave birth to a bastard! I can be a concubine, why do you tie me up?!"

"..."

"Concubine? I am just a slave."

Chen Zhining smiled slightly and spoke for Zhou.

In ancient society, people of her status treated others as human beings, and those people were human beings.

If you don't treat them as human beings, then they are no different from animals.
