"I remember when I was a child, my aunt made many clothes and handkerchiefs for me. Now those things are still in the Prince Chen's Mansion..."

Listening to Prince Chen's words, Madam Li shed even more tears.

She had indeed made quite a few clothes and handkerchiefs for Prince Chen. She was good at embroidery, and after she knew her elder sister was pregnant, she made a lot of them. She didn't dare to give them to him at that time. It was only when her elder sister noticed that she didn't say anything and asked her about it that she dared to take them out.

Her Royal Highness the Crown Prince is so noble, but the fabrics of the things she made are not particularly good.

Lord Li fell to his knees.

"Your Highness has met Prince Chen."

Lord Li was beaten with a stick and felt excruciating pain every time he took a step.

Prince Chen looked at Lord Li coldly and said.

"Lord Li, you actually dared to bully my aunt. You are so brave."

"I know I was wrong, Your Majesty. My family will treat Madam well from now on..."

After being beaten, Aunt Tian was almost unconscious. She didn't dare to come in again. Just before they were beaten, she sent someone to ask the doctor from the Medicine King Shop to come over.

Yun Zhao looked at his mother, Princess Zhaoyang. In fact, they came here this time to support Aunt Meng and Wei'er. They also wanted to let the emperors of Jiangnan and the capital, as well as those who were watching them from behind, know about their current actions.

Otherwise, if they stayed in the palace without making any movement, the emperor would become suspicious.

Others would think that they were planning something big.

Thinking of the emperor, Yun Zhao thought of the incident of Zhaixing Tower again.

On her way from the capital to Jiangnan, she had received some news. The Imperial Master had come to the palace several times, talking about the Zhaixing Tower. He had already secretly mobilized the Ministry of Works and looked for some craftsmen from outside. Maybe in a month or two, when the crops were ready, the Emperor would start repairing the Zhaixing Tower.

At the beginning, the emperor would definitely not let outsiders know that it was the Zhaixing Tower.

In the afternoon, the accounts were checked. In the past ten years, except for the most important headgear and jewelry, there were also several ancient paintings, two farms and two shops. The rest of Meng's dowry was robbed by the Li family. The stolen items were worth nearly 100,000 taels of silver. The income of the other farms and shops in the past ten years was more than 10,000 taels of silver a year. In the past ten years, all of them were taken by the Li family. Yun Zhao was furious when he heard the bills. This was the same as Zhu's coveting of his adoptive mother Xie's dowry.

"Your Li family is really shameless to the extreme."

Although Mrs. Li knew that her things were taken away by the Li family, she endured it for the sake of her daughter and thought of ways to protect her daughter. Money can be earned again, but if her daughter is killed by someone, what is the use of having money?

But now, looking at the calculated bills, she laughed sarcastically.

They eat her food and use her things, but bully her and her daughter. How does the saying come about? They eat up the whole family.

"Aunt, what do you want to do?"

After hearing what Prince Chen said, Madam Li said.

"Thank you, Lord Chen. Please pay me back the money that the Li family has robbed me of. If the money is not enough, you can pay me back with something else."

Mrs. Li understood that the Li family was not the same as it was a dozen years ago. Although her husband was not as corrupt as others, he did not earn some money in an honest way. The people below would also give him some money as a gift. The salt merchants would also patronize some of the shops in the Li Mansion, and the profits were also huge.
