Koi Fleeing Famine: I Picked Up a Chief Assistant as a Husband

Chapter 231 Money

"How long do you want me to stay here?"

"My Highness knows that you will suffer here. But if you go out, it will only be more dangerous."

"Ahem, now my body is getting weaker and weaker. If I continue to stay here, I'm afraid I won't be able to support it."

"Don't worry, His Highness will pick you up and leave here soon. However, your father really didn't give you anything?"

"No."

Xiao Mengying narrowed her eyes slightly when she heard these conversations, what secrets does the Second Prince still hide?Who is locked in this room?
While she was thinking, the second prince came out of the room, turned around and locked the door and strode away.

After Xiao Mengying was sure that the second prince had left, she walked out from the corner, saw the lock on the door, and thought of the key that the second prince wore every day.

It seems that only by finding a way to get the key, can we know who is locked inside.

The maid let out a sigh of relief when she saw the princess coming out of the courtyard safely, and then left with her.

As soon as the two entered the courtyard, they saw a group of maidservants kneeling, while the second prince was sitting on a chair in the courtyard drinking tea, and did not lift his eyes when he saw the people who came back.

"where did you go?"

Jun Ziheng's voice was so cold that it made people tremble like ice.

Xiao Mengying lowered her eyes: "I just felt chest tightness, so I went out for a walk."

Seeing this, Jun Ziheng became even more angry, and directly smashed the teacup in his hand.

Snapped--

The sound of porcelain shattering resounded throughout the courtyard, Xiao Mengying stood there with a pale face, spilling tea on her skirt without making a sound.

The maidservants around were trembling with fright, for fear that the princess' punishment would implicate herself.

Everyone peeked at the princess, but saw her motionless, as if she hadn't heard the sound, and couldn't help but be amazed.

"Do you really think that His Highness dare not do anything to you?"

Jun Ziheng stood up and paced in front of her, staring down at her with a stern look.

Xiao Mengying still stood still, with her head lowered.

Seeing her so abnormal, Jun Ziheng frowned, and suddenly pinched her chin, forcing her to raise her face to meet him.

"Say, what are you doing all the time running out recently? Are you planning something again?"

Being grabbed by him forcefully, Xiao Mengying felt a pain in her jaw and frowned slightly, "I just feel bored and want to wander around."

"Oh?" Jun Ziheng raised his eyebrows: "In that case, let's enjoy the flowers with His Highness tonight!"

flower viewing...

Xiao Mengying gritted her teeth secretly, but smiled on her face: "Yes."

Jun Ziheng nodded with satisfaction: "Well, very good!"

……

Three days later, in the Lu family's house.

Uncle Lu broke into Lu Nanzhi's yard angrily, and threw the ledger in front of her.

"Look at the good deeds you have done. You have already taken away all the money from the Red Dressing Pavilion. No wonder you handed over the Red Dressing Pavilion!"

Lu Nanzhi lowered his head and flipped through two pages of the ledger, and looked up at Uncle Lu who was full of anger: "What does this mean? Is it true that Hongzhuang Pavilion's current debts should be blamed on me?"

As soon as the words were finished, Li Shi, who followed, taunted: "Since you don't want to give up the Red Dressing Pavilion, why bother to pretend to agree in front of your grandma, you are clearly guarding yourself."

"Nanzhi, you dead girl, how dare you lie to me! Hurry up and hand over the money, and I can pretend nothing happened, or don't blame me for being rude to you!" Uncle Lu was trembling with anger, his chest heaving up and down.

"Don't worry, what's the use of being angry now, Nanzhi is young, it's normal to do wrong things, let's just teach him slowly!" Li Shi said to reassure Third Uncle Lu.

Lu Nanzhi frowned and stood up, looked at Li Shi coldly and said, "Third Aunt may be disappointed, even if I did something wrong, my parents and grandma will teach me, so it's not your turn to be an outsider." Discipline."

Hearing this, Li's eyes narrowed, revealing a fierce light, and he waved towards Lu Nanzhi.

Lu Nanzhi flashed nimbly, looking at Li Shi vigilantly.

Seeing this, Mrs. Li became angry from embarrassment: "Lu Nanzhi, don't forget that your surname is Lu. The Lu family's money can only be managed by the Lu family. You can't get your hands on it!"

"These words are also for you. Who are you to be arrogant and domineering in the Lu family's mansion? This is the Lu family!" Lu Nanzhi spoke back quickly.

"You...Look at her, she doesn't treat me as a family at all, what's the point of me staying here!" After finishing speaking, she turned and cried to Third Uncle Lu.

Uncle Lu was upset at first, when he heard her crying and fussing, he shook off and shouted, "Just leave if you want to, don't cry with me here!"

Mrs. Li looked at Uncle Lu and Lu Nanzhi angrily, then covered her face and left crying.

Mrs. Li made a fuss like this, which completely made things worse. Grandma Lu hurried over, stopped Mrs. Li who was about to pack up and leave, and called Lu Nanzhi to ask what was going on.

Lu Nanzhi and Uncle Lu came to the hall and told the story. Grandma Lu looked at Lu Nanzhi with displeasure and said, "Did you really take all the money in the Red Dressing Pavilion?"

"Grandma only told me to hand over the Red Dressing Pavilion to Third Uncle, but she didn't tell me to hand over the savings of the Red Dressing Pavilion."

Grandma Lu couldn't refute Lu Nanzhi's words. After all, Lu Nanzhi did earn the money, and it's really inappropriate for her to hand it over now.

"But your third uncle has no money in his hands now, and the Red Dressing Pavilion is like this, why don't you take out some and lend it to your third uncle?" Grandma Lu persuaded.

Lu Nanzhi sneered, she took out the money, and there was no return at all. The money in the Red Dressing Pavilion had been embezzled by Lu Sanshu, and she knew about it no matter how secretive Lu Sanshu did it.

"Grandma, are you sure you want me to give the money to third uncle?"

When Grandma Lu saw her eyes, her heart skipped a beat for some reason, and she had a bad premonition.

But seeing the pleading eyes of his son and the burden in Mrs. Li's hands, he hesitated and finally nodded and said, "Just treat it as your third uncle borrowing it from you, and I will definitely return it to you in the future."

Lu Nanzhi stood up, without any smile on his face.Instead, she looked at Grandma Lu and said, "Grandma, do you remember what you said when we separated? Now that I have given up the Red Dressing Pavilion, but you still want me to take extra money, is it true that the entire Lu Mansion will be given up to you in the future?" My third uncle?"

"What are you talking about!" Grandma Lu coughed violently angrily.

Seeing the opportunity, Mrs. Li stepped forward to appease Grandma Lu and said, "Mom, it's all because of our incompetence, so don't be angry."

Lu Jinghuai and his wife walked in, they had already heard the ins and outs of the matter.

"Mother, since you love the third brother dearly, I will lend him the money, and this house will also be given to the third brother. Let's move back to live outside the city."

Lu Jinghuai didn't want his daughter to be bullied. It was obvious that her daughter earned all of this. Now she not only has to give it with both hands, but also returns the money she earned.He is very clear about the temperament of the third brother, it is simply that mud cannot support the wall.

If they continue to stay here, I am afraid it will be a bottomless pit, it is better to leave as soon as possible.
