Chapter 1340

From the time Tingyu Pavilion came out, it was already Shen Shi.

Knowing that King Zhennan had returned to the palace, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue simply walked directly to the palace.

Nangong Yue took the initiative to hold his hand and said warmly, "Ayi, we are not in a hurry."

Xiao Yi turned his head to look at her, gentle and tired, and said of course, "That's right! We still have a daughter, how can it be done in vain after three years of delay!"

Nangong Yue's face flushed, and she couldn't help but glance at him.

Regarding the disposal of the Fang family's third room and Xiao Fang's family, Guan Yubai raised a question - name. Xiao Fang's name is now the wife of King Zhennan and Xiao Yi's mother. Once she has three strengths and two weaknesses, Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue will inevitably need to "keep filial piety to their mother" for three years.

Therefore, only by letting Xiao Fang lose this "reputation" can they act with less scruples.

Xiao Yi knew that King Zhennan had a good face, and would definitely not want to divorce his wife, so he had to push it...

Xiao Yi's fingers rubbed against her palm, and Nangong Yue's earlobes turned a little red again, pretending to be nonchalant and saying, "Ayi, we just have a good opportunity in our hands."

That old prince left behind, a wealth that can rival the country!

The two looked at each other and smiled, Xiao Yi had already returned, and this matter should have been concluded as soon as possible.

After arriving in the study room of the palace, Kikyo immediately went in to report, and soon welcomed the two of them in.

"Greetings to the father and king." The young couple saluted the king of Zhennan together.

King Zhennan was obviously in a good mood. He let them sit down and stroked their beards and said, "Just come back. Concubine Shizi's body is better?"

"Thank you father for your concern, my daughter-in-law is doing well." Nangong Yue thanked her.

King Zhennan nodded slightly and said, "This king has thought about it. After your second brother gets married, let the second room and the third room go out to live separately..."

Ever since he learned that his niece Xiao Ni secretly poisoned the prince and concubine, King Zhennan was both angry and chilling. He originally thought that the second and third rooms were the blood of his father, his own family, and it was nothing to live in the palace. Anyway, the palace The place is big, and it can afford to raise so many people. I didn't expect it to be good as the saying goes, Doumian raises rice hatred, and some people are unfamiliar white-eyed wolves!

King Zhennan thought, after all, there are too many people in this palace! The more people there are, the more thoughts there are!

Better to go out.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue exchanged glances quickly, but they never expected that King Zhennan would suddenly propose to split up the family.

The father finally got it right. As Xiao Yi thought to himself, he echoed: "Father, the king is in charge."

Seeing that this villain is rarely obedient, King Zhennan has a feeling of old-fashioned comfort, and said: "Prince Concubine, speaking, your second brother's marriage is set, but your sisters haven't been settled yet, so you can help too. Let's take a look." The girls in the second and third rooms have their own parents, so naturally they don't need to worry about Nangong Yue, the king of Zhennan was talking about his three daughters, Xiao Fei, Xiao Rongxuan and Xiao Rongying.

Nangong Yue naturally agreed. As the eldest daughter of the palace, Xiao Fei's marriage has to be prepared for at least a year or two, and it should be seen early.

In addition, there is Xiao Luan's marriage.

Originally, as the direct son of the palace, there will be corresponding regulations for big marriage matters. As long as the regulations are followed, there will be no mistakes.

However, the roots of Zhennan Prince's Mansion are too shallow. Speaking of which, apart from the big marriage of Zhennan Prince's more than ten years ago, Zhennan Prince's Mansion has never married any more direct descendants. Therefore, the so-called ordinances are almost blank here, and she needs to arrange them one by one. Originally, Nangong Yue had plenty of time, but this serious illness made it a little too late.

So, Nangong Yue said, "Father, the second brother's wedding is approaching, and the daughter-in-law would like to ask the father to allow Concubine Wei to help you."

King Zhennan nodded in agreement, "You just tell Concubine Wei. I heard from the old lady of the Lin family, Concubine Shi, you need to rest for at least half a year, so don't be too busy these days."

Nangong Yue said with a blessed body, "Thank you, Father, King."

Xiao Yi spoke at this moment, and said with a somewhat unhappy expression: "Speaking of the second brother's marriage... Father, the account books that my son brought from my mother, my son has already instructed the accountant to arrange them, and they will be moved later. Come and have a look at the king."

King Zhennan actually planned to ask about those account books in a few days. After all, Xiao Luan was about to get married, and he had some property in his hands, so he could give him a long face in front of the Yue family.

Hearing Xiao Yi's initiative to mention it, Zhennan Wang naturally said goodbye, ignoring his black face, nodded and said: "The property your grandfather left to your brothers should be divided earlier. I think your uncle-grandfather's proposal was good, as the heir, you should share more fields and villages, and as for the shop and cash, I will share it with your second brother."

Between the words, there was a messy sound of footsteps outside, and then a long attendant came in and reported that the account book sent by the prince had arrived.

After a while, Thrush and a few wives brought in several large boxes of heavy account books. After the wives went out, there were three father, son, daughter-in-law and several servant girls left in the study.

"Father, the account books are all here." Nangong Yue said respectfully and blessed again, "Father said just now that this shop and cash should be distributed to the second brother, it's just..."

As she said that, she frowned her delicate eyebrows and said embarrassingly: "According to this account book, the total annual income is 2.3 million taels of silver, but..." She hesitated for a while, and finally she was still arrogant. Said, "But my mother only gave us 310,000 taels of silver in total, which is a full two million taels less..."

"Two million taels?!" King Zhennan blurted out in shock.

Even if King Zhennan thought that there might be more or less problems in these account books, only tens of thousands of taels, for the sake of the family and the prosperity of all things, it would be fine to smear the past, the big deal was that he took it out of his own pocket, anyway, the palace is not bad. With that little money, I never imagined that the difference would be such a huge sum of money.

Two million taels!

This is the salary of the Southern Border Army for many years!

Thinking about it, King Zhennan's face suddenly turned gloomy. ,

Nangong Yue said cautiously, as if she was worried that she would anger King Zhennan, "Father, what my daughter-in-law said is true."

She gestured with a look, and Baihui immediately opened one of the boxes, took out a few account books and handed them over to Nangong Yue.

Nangong Yue picked up a copy, flipped through it, stopped at a certain page, and asked Baihui to present it to King Zhennan, then said: "Father, this is the account book of a tea shop in the east of the city for the past five years. , According to the account books, the annual profit of the tea shop is five or six thousand taels of silver... According to rough calculation, in the past five years alone, the tea shop has made nearly 40,000 taels of silver."

Nangong Yue counted the income of the tea shop in the past five years one by one, and deliberately frowned and glanced at the account book of the remaining several large boxes, letting King Zhennan imagine.

The old prince only left dozens of shops, as well as a lot of fields and Zhuangzi...

Xiao Yi was drinking tea by the side, using a tea cup to hide the smile on the corner of his mouth. He liked to see his stinky girl so energetic and a little cunning, just like back then...

Xiao Yi accidentally ran away.

"Father," Nangong Yue said respectfully and considerately while looking at King Zhennan, whose face was as heavy as water, "Daughter-in-law understands that over the years, mother has to take charge of the royal family's central income, and she has to work hard to manage these accounts. The younger generation really shouldn't be bothered with their mother. It's just that the Bixiao Hall can't get the two million taels of silver..."

King Zhennan quickly flipped through the account book in hand, and picked up the second and third books... His face became more and more ugly.

"I don't know if the father and the king can give more time, or if it is better to give the fields and Zhuangzi to the second brother, the prince will get these 'cash silver', right?"

Nangong Yue's words were gentle and respectful, but there was a hint of helplessness. Hearing the blue veins on the forehead of King Zhennan, he suddenly understood!

It turned out that Xiao Fang was playing such a "good idea".

Dividing production and production, if Xiao Yi asks Xiao Luan to take cash, he will give Xiao Luan two million taels of silver for nothing, but if Xiao Yi can’t give two million taels, then he will have to eat this dumb loss and retire. And the next thing is to give up all the fields and Zhuangzi to Xiao Luan!

Xiao Yi has always been at odds with himself. With his stinky temper, he might even come to fight with him because of this, and then when he gets angry, he might help Xiao Luan. All the properties left by the father were taken away from Xiao Yi's hands...

It's no wonder that Xiao Yi, this stinky boy, has such a dark face when it comes to the industry. Obviously, he is already a little unhappy. That is, the concubine has a good temper and can hold him down. Otherwise, wouldn't Xiao Fang figure it out? ! And didn't he become a mallet in the hands of Xiao Fang? !

Damn little Fang, even he has calculated!

The more King Zhennan thought about it, the more annoyed he became, Huo Di stood up, held the account book, and picked up the curtain and walked outside the house, not even taking care of Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue in the study.

All that was left in the study was the crisp sound of a string of beaded chain door curtains colliding with each other...

Xiao Yi diligently poured tea for Nangong Yue, and then served tea himself, and blinked with a smile, as if to say, my concubine is really capable!

Nangong Yue took the tea cup, the corners of her mouth raised even higher.

Since Mrs. Fang is so fond of making false accounts, then she will do what she does to others, and let her have a taste of what it means to shoot herself in the foot!

The account books piled up in this study are all a new set of account books that the Shen account room carefully imitated the fake accounts given by Xiao Fang, but it took several months of work.

According to the fake accounts originally given by Xiao Fang, the money earned by so many shops and farms every year is just enough to maintain their income and expenditure, and even some shops have losses... After more than ten years, these properties left by the old prince , all add up to make a hundred thousand taels, plus the silver notes left by the old prince, it can only be 300,000 taels, where those real profits go, one can imagine!

The money that was intercepted was obviously in the hands of Xiao Fang, but on the surface, she wanted to make the illusion that the property Xiao Luan got was far inferior to Xiao Yi. Force Xiao Yi to give out part of the farm...

If it's just business, Nangong Yue doesn't really care, and she knows that Xiao Yi definitely doesn't care either. In this life, Xiao Luan was not raised too badly by the Xiao Fang clan. If he split up the family in the palace and gave him more property and silver taels, Nangong Yue would have nothing to say.

It's just that these things are left by the old prince to Xiao Yi, and it is the kindness of the old prince to his grandson. It must be clearly understood, and Xiao Fang and the others must not be confused.

Therefore, Nangong Yue instructed the account application room to make a set of "beautiful" account books, which exaggerated the money earned by the shop a dozen times every year, so the income of so many industries over the past ten years added up to more than two million. Huge sum of money for two.

Hope this "heavy gift" Xiao Fang is happy to receive.

Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue were drinking tea leisurely in the study.

The king of Zhennan came to the main courtyard of the palace aggressively, and the old woman who guarded the courtyard naturally did not dare to stop him.

Originally, I was happy that the prince finally came to see his wife, but seeing the angry look of the prince, I was afraid that the visitor was not good!

Before Xiao Fang could dress up, King Zhennan strode into the main room and asked in a rough voice, "Where's Madam?"

"Hu... Madam is..."

A little maid replied stammeringly, and in the middle of the conversation, Mrs. Fang walked out quickly and hurriedly saluted the King of Zhennan.

Her knees only bent down a little, when she heard King Zhennan scolded: "You are so bold! How dare you make false accounts!"

As he said that, he threw the account book at random and threw the account book on Xiao Fang's skirt. With a "pop", the account book slipped to the ground...

In the past, how much King Zhennan believed in this successor, how disappointed he is now.

When she thought that her father's property had been in her hands for more than ten years, but she dared to keep it from him, the thorn in his heart stinged again. Why did she hide it from him, not just for the money!

His lady has such a big appetite!

Looking at King Zhennan's extremely disappointed eyes, Mrs. Fang was really anxious.

Xiao Fang glanced at the account book that had slipped on the ground, and at a glance knew that it was one of those account books, and his eyes flashed.

I heard that that stinky boy Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue just returned to the palace today, it seems that they ran to the Zhennan King to complain!

"My lord!" Mrs. Fang gritted her teeth, knelt down with a plop, and shouted, "I've been wronged by my concubine! These accounts are all true!" Her account books were so flawless that she couldn't find any faults!

To this day, she is still unrepentant! Zhennan Wang's eyebrows were tightly locked, and there was no disappointment in his eyes, only boredom.

"My lord..." Xiao Fang took a few steps on her knees, her eyes were red with a thin layer of water mist, "The concubine knows that Ayi and Concubine Shizi have always disliked the concubine, the stepmother is difficult to do, and the concubine is in her body and mind. The suffering can only be swallowed by oneself. The concubine has been in charge of these shops for so many years, and has been doing her best, not seeking merit, but seeking flawless..."

As she said that, she pretended to hold a handkerchief to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, and continued disappointedly: "But how could A Yi and the concubine Shizi scold the concubine for making false accounts without any evidence? The stepmother is also a mother... Judging from the concubine's body, Yi would be so unfilial, it must be the instigation behind the concubine!"

These few words of Mrs. Fang seem to put the blame on Nangong Yue, but they also put Xiao Yi on the charge of unfilial piety!

If this was in the past, King Zhennan would probably believe it again, but this time is different from the past.

He has not been obedient to this lady for a long time, and the other party's words also appear to be full of loopholes. Unfilial, she casually condemned the prince for being unfilial, does she still want to give the position of the prince to Xiao Luan, that unworthy boy?

How can a person who is on the battlefield and in front of the soldiers shouting never to go to the battlefield can afford the position of King Zhennan?

King Zhennan closed his eyes and said coldly, "You said those account books are true?"

Xiao Fang thought that King Zhennan believed, and hurriedly raised his right hand to curse and swear: "My lord, the concubine swears that the account book is true, if not, the concubine is willing to be hit by five thunders!"

She casually swore a poisonous oath, hoping to make her words more credible, but she didn't know that she just destroyed the last pity in King Zhennan's heart...

King Zhennan stared at Mrs. Fang with both eyes, and his tone was so cold that ice slag was about to form:

"Okay! Since the account books are all real, this king will have them all brought in later. Madam, you should hand over all the two million taels of silver that are not enough according to the records in these books!"

After that, King Zhennan didn't want to pay attention to Xiao Fang anymore, and strode away with his sleeves!

Two million taels? ! Xiao Fang was a little confused for a while, what two million taels? !

Mingmu still didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly helped Xiao Fang to get up, but saw that Xiao Fang's face seemed to be even uglier than when King Zhennan was there just now.

"Quick! Quickly show me that account book!"

Xiao Fang couldn't care about his knees that were numb and painful, and hurriedly ordered Ming Mu to bring her the account book.

Ming Mu quickly picked up the account book, patted off the dust on it and handed it to Xiao Fang, who eagerly turned it over...

brush brush...

As the densely written pages were quickly turned, Xiao Fang's entire face turned white and his whole body trembled, how could this be? !

At first glance, these account books look like those books prepared by myself, but the content inside is completely wrong, and the profit of the shop has been exaggerated by many times...

two million taels...

Xiao Fang's hand trembled, and the account book fell to the ground with a "pop".

Nangong Yue, it must be Nangong Yue who imitated this pile of account books!

I am still careless!

"My lord!" Mrs. Fang rushed out of the house in a hurry and shouted hoarsely, "My lord, it's Xiao Yi! It's Xiao Yi and Nangong Yue..."

However, the back of King Zhennan could not be seen for a long time, and the two women who were guarding the entrance of the courtyard quickly stepped forward and stopped Xiao Fang. If this makes the madam run out and make trouble, then their errands will not be able to be preserved!

For a while, I just heard Xiao Fang screaming like a mad woman, but got no response...

Two million taels? ! Where are you going to raise two million taels? ! Cold sweat dripped from Xiao Fang's forehead.

"Madam! Madam, the lord has left." Mingmu looked at Xiao Fang worriedly, really afraid that Madam would be blocked.

Xiao Fang finally calmed down. He didn't speak for a while, his eyes were dark, like a bottomless hell.

After a while, she raised her eyes to look at Ming Mu, her eyes seemed to have made some kind of determination, she seemed cold and resolute, and ordered: "Ming Mu, go and call Aunt Mei."

"Yes, ma'am." Ming Mu replied respectfully.

Mrs. Fang was banned, and even a few of her cronies were not allowed to leave the main courtyard at will, but Ming Mu naturally had another way. Instead of going to the main entrance of the courtyard, she went to the small kitchen.

After a cup of tea, Concubine Mei, who was wearing a pink butterfly and flower cut silk robe, came over, saying that she wanted to greet Xiao Fang. Aunt Mei came out of Xiao Fang's yard. Ever since she opened her face, she still came here to greet her from time to time. The old woman who guarded the door didn't think much of it and let her in.

Ming Mu hurriedly closed the door and stayed outside.

Mrs. Fang had already washed and dressed up a long time ago, and she was dressed in a graceful and luxurious manner, but her red eyes couldn't hide her embarrassment.

Seeing Aunt Mei coming, Mrs. Fang couldn't wait to ask, "Why haven't you started, and when are you going to wait?" Her face showed obvious irritability.

This Aunt Mei has been here for several months, but she has not done anything.

A month ago, when Xiao Fang heard that Nangong Yue was seriously ill, she thought Aunt Mei and the others had taken action. Who knew that Nangong Yue was still alive today!

Concubine Mei looked at Xiao Fang lightly, without any respect in her eyes, but her tone was still polite, and she said perfunctorily: "Madam, don't worry, since the master has sent me here, I should be able to handle the errand well."

She was a little impatient, she just used Xiao Fang to sneak into the palace, how to act, she had the upper hand to make decisions, and she couldn't allow Xiao Fang to dictate!

Moreover, recently, Shizi Xiao almost bloodbathed Luoyue City, and his spies lost seven or eight. He managed to hide his identity without revealing his secrets. Now that the rumors have not passed, isn't it self-defeating by mixing in at this time? !

Little Fang didn't understand that the other party was perfunctory, and said coldly: "Aunt Mei, the old prince left those properties. Over the years, half of the money has gone into your pockets, and now the prince asked me to take two million taels. When the profits come out, where can I collect these two million taels? If I can't make it through, don't think about it!"

As she said that, there was a wicked light in her eyes, and she gritted her teeth and said, "Xiao Yi...you said it's okay to have a long-term plan, but now I want Nangong Yue to die! It's just a woman, can't you all do it? !"

Because of Nangong Yue, his children all turned to her, and even the prince was bewitched by her and put himself under house arrest. Also, Xiao Yi and the prince are getting more and more harmonious. If things go on like this, not only will he be unable to escape." Severely ill", his son Xiao Luan will also be farther and farther from the throne of King Zhennan...

When Nangongyue dies, she wants to see how Xiao Yi will suffer!
