Chapter 322 Huge Wealth
Xiao Yu seemed not to have heard, but remained silent. Aunt Xu did not dare to say anything more and silently retreated behind the princess.
The atmosphere in the room seemed to be stagnant. Except for the princess who twisted her body from time to time, the rest of the people did not dare to express their anger.
He was afraid that he would offend the prince and end up like Ruyu.
More than an hour passed, and it was completely dark. Several girls turned on the lamps cautiously, and the stone finally came back to life.
He stood at the door with a bow, "As I said to the princess and the prince, nothing was found in Butler Wu's house."
Butler Wu on the ground felt relieved when he heard this. He might be able to escape today.
Unexpectedly, Shitou glanced at him and said slowly: "I asked the boy who often follows Butler Wu and found out that Butler Wu had another house, so I went to check it out."
The so-called questioning, of course, is to ask with a stick. After a spanking, a few boys asked for everything.
"In that house, one thousand taels of gold and a total of 86,000 taels of silver were found. There were also properties, shops, antiques, pearls, jade, calligraphy and paintings, equivalent to more than 100,000 taels of silver."
"Steward Wu's entire family wealth is equivalent to more than 200,000 taels of silver."
The princess stood up from the beauty's back and said in a voiceless voice: "So many?"
Xiao Yu sneered, "Mother and concubine make a good family."
"I'm afraid this house has been evacuated and I don't know yet!"
The princess's face turned purple, and her voice changed with anger, "You are such a bitch, how dare you deceive others and line your own pockets. You, a slave, actually--"
The princess couldn't talk any more. She wanted to say, you, a slave, have more money than I have in my private house. Is this justified?
I have been saving for more than 20 years, and I have only saved hundreds of thousands of silver!
Butler Wu kowtowed desperately on the ground, "Princess, dearest prince, this money is not from the greedy prince's palace. It is from some officials and wealthy businessmen who came to me for help. The villain collected their money and returned it to me." Please, Princess, watch this old slave serve his master and spare his life.”
Xiao Yu snorted coldly, "I won't be able to keep you here anymore. Who knows how many corrupt and perverse things you have done outside in the name of Prince Qi's Mansion?"
"In the end, everyone in the world will only blame Prince Qi's Mansion!"
"Come here, drag me out and beat me until I run out of energy!"
Butler Wu suddenly lost all hope and could no longer even utter a word to beg for mercy. He only had a vague thought in his mind, why should I provoke that girl Gu? If he had found out clearly about her relationship with the prince from the beginning, he would definitely not Take action.
What's more wrong, he despised that girl and instigated Ruyu to gossip in front of the princess. Who knows, but he lost his life instead.
With his eyes closed, he was dragged out by the two boys, with a sad smile on his lips. Well, I can finally see Furong. She should still be waiting for me on the Naihe Bridge.
The muffled sound of the outer panel hitting the skin reached the room. Xiao Yu lowered his eyes and ordered Shitou, "Go, take the antique calligraphy and paintings, pearls and jade that you just copied out, and some good ones from the farm shop and give them to Miss Gu." , take another thousand taels of gold and send them over, saying that the palace is apologizing to Miss Gu for what happened last time."
"Put the rest in my private treasury."
Shitou responded and hurried out.
The princess looked at Xiao Yu cautiously, "Yu'er, this matter has been dealt with. Why don't you have dinner with your mother?"
