Recently, the Third Prince's wife was resentful towards the Third Prince because of the Siming Tower incident, which caused the Third Prince to fall ill. She has been busy taking care of the Third Prince for days and is physically and mentally exhausted, looking haggard.

Upon hearing that Gu Qinlian wanted to see her, the Third Prince's wife finally found an outlet to vent her anger.

She immediately ordered Gu Qinlian to be taken to the backyard of the Third Prince's Mansion and made her wait there for a whole night!

Although it is early summer, the cool night breeze is still biting.

What’s worse, there was a huge pond in the backyard of the Third Prince’s Mansion, and the cold wind made Gu Qinlian shiver.

Gu Qinlian repeatedly sent people to ask when the Third Prince's wife would receive her, but each time she was given various excuses and was asked to continue waiting.

It was not until the dawn that Gu Qinlian realized before she fell into a coma that she had been deliberately left here by the Third Prince's wife.

She didn't know why she had angered the Third Prince's wife, but when she was half-conscious, she seemed to hear the ridicule of the servant next to her:

"What an idiot! Her sister hurt our Third Prince so miserably, and she actually thought that the Third Prince's wife would be nice to her?"

"Isn't it? The Third Prince's wife hasn't had time to settle accounts with her yet, she's the one who delivered the goods to him! She deserves it!"

Yes, Gu Qinlan? Was it Gu Qinlan who brought her disaster again?

Gu Qinlian wanted to force herself to stand up, but the thought made her so angry that she could hardly breathe, and she eventually fell into a coma.

In the court.

As soon as the Minister of War Chao Li arrived at the court, he was severely accused in a memorial handed to him by Zheng Dinglian!

The memorial accused Chao Li of having a dog at home that actually bit the swan in Prince Duan's mansion, and accused Chao Li of not managing his household well, so how could he manage the country?

When the civil and military officials in the court heard this memorial, they all had different expressions. They wanted to laugh but did not dare to laugh out loud.

As soon as Prince Duan returned, the court became extremely lively.

The day before was still terrifying, but today another bizarre memorial came.

Logically speaking, Chao Li and Prince Duan had no disputes on a daily basis, so why did Prince Duan suddenly cause trouble for Chao Li?

After all, any discerning person could tell at a glance that this memorial was deliberately intended to pick a fight with Chao Li.

The doubts in the ministers' minds were exactly the same as Chao Li's confusion.

He really couldn't understand when his family had ever kept a dog, and how could it have gone so far as to bite the swans in Prince Duan's mansion?

Even the emperor sitting on the dragon throne was amused by Zheng Dinglian's memorial which took advantage of the issue.

He thought to himself, Chao Li has made enemies everywhere even though he hasn't recovered yet. Does he really think he can be so arrogant while he is bedridden?

Although he thought so in his heart, the emperor finally gave Zheng Dinglian some face and reprimanded Chao Li with a stern face.

After the morning court ended, Chao Li rushed to Prince Duan's Mansion impatiently.

Regardless of whether it was really his dog that bit the swan in Prince Duan's mansion, Prince Duan's action must have a deeper meaning.

Chao Li secretly guessed that perhaps he had angered Prince Duan in some way, and that was why Prince Duan was using this method to criticize him.

No matter what, he had to get to the bottom of it, otherwise he would never be able to rest in peace.

At the same time, Gu Qinlan was having Zheng Dinglian moved to the backyard to enjoy the comfort of the sun.

You know, Zheng Dinglian is in poor health now, and getting more sun exposure will be very beneficial to his health.

Zheng Dinglian sat in the wheelchair, basking in the sunshine and reading some books.

This was the most pleasant day for Zheng Dinglian in the past ten years. He no longer had to worry about foreign invasion, nor did he have to witness the bloodshed of soldiers on the battlefield.

He raised his eyes and glanced at Gu Qinlan, who was grinding herbs attentively. Her eyes showed endless concentration. The sun shone on her body, as if giving her a layer of sacred radiance, making her look like a fairy descending to the earth, giving people a sense of relaxation and joy.

Gu Qinlan did not notice Zheng Dinglian's gaze. She pounded the medicine skillfully while casually asking Zheng Dinglian:

"By the way, when do you plan to let Xu Yunxuan enter the mansion?"

Zheng Dinglian was slightly stunned, looked at Lou Wei with some surprise, then turned to cast a curious look at Gu Qinlan:

"You already know?"

Gu Qinlan stopped what she was doing, turned to look at Zheng Dinglian, pulled the blanket back onto his legs, and said with a hint of joking:

"Since I have taken over the finances of Prince Duan's Mansion, how could I not know about the huge expenses in the mansion? If she didn't come to me, how could I fill your huge financial hole?"

Hearing this, Zheng Dinglian felt a little embarrassed, and then asked cautiously:

"You don't blame me?"

"Why should I blame you? Prince Duan is kind-hearted and compassionate. You can't bear to see the disabled soldiers suffer, nor can you bear to see their families be left without support. It is only right that you give them some subsidies."

After hearing this, Zheng Dinglian felt relieved and was also moved by Gu Qinlan. He couldn't help but smiled and praised her:

"Mother said that you are not an ordinary woman. Now it seems that your reputation is well-deserved."

Gu Qinlan just raised her eyebrows slightly, then turned back to pounding the medicine and said casually:

"My mother likes me, so naturally everything she sees is good."

However, Zheng Dinglian did not say anything else.

He understood that this was not just because his mother liked Gu Qinlan.

After all, if someone else married into Prince Duan’s Mansion, only to find that they had to face such complicated financial problems as a new bride, I’m afraid no one would be able to bear it.

Zheng Dinglian was even prepared for Gu Qinlan to severely blame him for this matter.

However, to his surprise, Gu Qinlan didn't care at all and even continued to subsidize the funds, which made Zheng Dinglian unable to help but speak again:

"You don't have to worry about the money. His Majesty has always been generous with money. The reward order will come down in a few days, and all the rewards will be given to you then."

Gu Qinlan heard this and chuckled, then teased:

"Give it all to me? We have won a great victory this time. His Majesty will definitely give me a lot of reward, at least 100,000 taels. Are you willing to give it to me?"

Zheng Dinglian was stunned, then looked at Gu Qinlan in surprise:

"Since you are in charge of the finances, the family income should belong to you. Why would you be reluctant to give it up?"

Gu Qinlan's eyes flashed with a smile. Naturally, she would not refuse, but just brought the topic back to the original question:

"Xu Yunxuan is not young anymore. We have waited for so many years. We can't just let her wander around."

Zheng Dinglian looked at Wei Lin, only to see Wei Lin waving his hands nervously. He couldn't help laughing, but still said firmly:

"That's right. Xu Yunxuan has suffered a lot of grievances over the years. It's time for her to take charge of these things."

"Okay, then I'll have someone arrange it. What do you think of Fuqiu Garden?"

Gu Qinlan did not notice Wei Lin's expression, and agreed after hearing Zheng Dinglian's words.

Zheng Dinglian was stunned for a moment, then asked, "Fuqiu Garden?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" Gu Qinlan turned her head curiously and looked at Zheng Dinglian.

Zheng Dinglian shook his head repeatedly and said, "No, I'll do whatever you say."

After hearing this, Gu Qinlan said nothing more.

However, Zheng Dinglian's heart was in turmoil.
