"Greed is insatiable, like a snake swallowing an elephant..."

Rong Sheng looked at the official silver in front of him and shook his head.

You know, embezzling government silver is punishable by death.

Relying on the support of the prince, Lu Anfei was so bold.

Haha, she couldn't help but sneer.

What a coincidence, Lu Anfei has a sister who is just as obsessed with money as he is.

They are really siblings, but even their personalities are so bad.

Rong Sheng lowered his head again and counted the amount of official silver in the box.

The Lu family must be greedy for more than just this.

I just don't know where they hid the remaining official silver.

Moreover, if most of the official silver was embezzled by them, it would definitely be exposed during the transportation process.

The more Rong Sheng thought about it, the more headache he got.

Forget it, let’s retreat quickly. Lu will definitely be back soon.

She collected her thoughts, quickly restored the bed to its original position, and put Rong Jin in the right position.

Then, she pressed two acupoints on Rong Jin's chest at an extremely fast speed.

Seeing Rong Jin's eyelids gradually trembling, she didn't dare to stay for a moment and jumped out of the back window.

At the same time, Lu also hurried back to Fengxiantang with the doctor.

"Jin'er, the doctor is here!"

While shouting, Mrs. Lu hurried to the bed to check on Rong Jin's condition.

When Rong Jin heard Lu's shout, he slowly opened his eyes.

Huh?

Why did I fall asleep?

Rong Jin was surprised and looked sideways at the bed.

The bed was very tidy at this time, with no signs of having been turned over.

No, I clearly found that secret cabinet just now!

She quickly recalled everything that had just happened, not noticing that Lu had come to her side.

"Jin'er, are you feeling better?" Mrs. Lu looked at Rong Jin's face and found that she did not look painful at all, so she asked, "Does it hurt anymore? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Rong Jin was puzzled at the moment, and she subconsciously turned her head to look at Lu's face.

The answer came to my mind in an instant.

My mother must have knocked me out when I wasn't paying attention because she was afraid that I would take the title deed from the secret cabinet.

snort!

Now she's pretending to be a loving mother again, which is really disgusting!

"My daughter is fine now."

Rong Jin came back to his senses and replied in a cold tone while standing up from the bed.

"Mother, if there's nothing else, I'll go back home right now." Rong Jin walked out without hesitation, "Also, I won't ask you for a shop again. It's better for us mother and daughter to have less contact in the future."

After he finished speaking, Rong Jin stepped out of the door without hesitation.

Only Mrs. Lu was left sitting on the bed in a daze.

What happened to Rong Jin? Why did he go out for a short while and come back like a different person?

I really don't want to give her this shop, but after she gives birth to the baby, I can still give her some of the profits.

Why did she say such hurtful words?

After thinking for a long time without any clue, Mrs. Lu hurried to the front yard to ask Rong Jin what he meant.

At this moment, Rong Sheng had already quickened his pace and returned to Mingyuexuan.

After closing the door of the inner room tightly, she couldn't wait to take out the deed from her arms and began to examine it carefully.

After an incense stick of time passed, she finally put down the deed.

I couldn't help but sigh that Princess Qingya is truly a business genius.

It’s a pity that the princess is a girl. If she were a boy, she would definitely be more powerful than Gu Qingshan.

Because according to Rong Sheng's memories from his previous life, although some of these shops were in good locations, they were on the verge of bankruptcy several times a few years ago due to poor management.

Now, because of Wu Lin, Rong Sheng has become a frequent visitor to West Street.

She often passed by these shops. Some of them were popular jewelry shops, and the jewelry inside were sought after by wealthy ladies in Beijing.

Some are inns, teahouses and restaurants, not to mention that these places are almost fully booked every day.

The business has gone from being on the verge of bankruptcy to being prosperous today, which is definitely inseparable from Princess Qingya’s meticulous management and hard work.

Markets are like battlefields.

Not everyone can easily revive a shop and gain a foothold in West Street.

This is enough to show that Princess Qingya is not only of noble status, but also of extraordinary wisdom.

If she had not been taken advantage of by the Lu family during her difficult labor and ended up losing her life, how could the mother and daughter of the Lu family be doing such evil things in the Marquis' Mansion now?

"The Yanhuan Mountain birthday banquet is just around the corner," Rong Sheng thought secretly, "When that time comes, let's see if Rong Jin and Lu can still smile."

"What did you say? Batumu was killed?"

Crown Prince Song Xuanjing was sitting on the main seat in his bedroom, looking at Li Yujing in front of him with surprise.

"Didn't you say he was very powerful? Even Song Xuanlin was killed by him!"

"Your Highness, I don't know what unexpected situation may occur on that day."

Li Yujing wiped the sweat from his forehead nervously: "Wei Xun had rushed all the way to the capital that day, so he must have been a little tired."

"I thought that there was a good chance of killing him now, so I asked General Batumu to go."

"But who would have thought that when I went to look again, General Batumu's body had already become stiff, and judging by the martial arts he had been subjected to, it looked very much like the work of someone from the Shen family."

"Someone from the Shen family?" Song Xuanjing was shocked again. "Aren't all the Shen family members extinct? Don't try to deceive this prince!"

Song Xuanjing became more and more annoyed as he spoke. His mother had not allowed him to leave the Eastern Palace a few days ago, and he was already a little irritated.

And now the assassination attempt on Wei Xun has also failed—

Is this where my luck ends?

Song Xuanjing asked himself in annoyance.

No!

I can't just watch the Wei family and Prince Jing'an form an alliance!

He slowly calmed down his emotions and changed the subject: "No matter if he is from the Shen family or not, the most urgent thing is not to let the Wei family find help. Li Yujing, do you know what unusual movements Rong Dexin has made recently?"

"Your Highness, the second young lady of the Rong Mansion just returned home a few days ago. There is nothing special about her."

"What about the eldest lady of the Rong Mansion?"

"Miss?" Li Yujing frowned. "Your Highness, are you talking about Princess Yong'an?"

"Yes, since the prince of Jing'an is marrying the second daughter of the Rong family, is Princess Yong'an still married?"

"I haven't heard of it."

"Well, Li Yujing," Song Xuanjing rubbed his temple and said, "Next you will look for young talents under this prince's tutelage and try your best to facilitate your marriage with Princess Yong'an."

Li Yujing frowned even more when he heard this: "Your Highness, may I ask why this is happening..."

Song Xuanjing glanced at Li Yujing with a meaningful look in his eyes: "Since you can't beat Wei Xun, then join King Jing'an's team before him."
