Concubine, you can't be sick, the prince favors the evil concubine

Chapter 12 Profiteering
After Mrs. Jiang was taken away, He Lanwei's anger seemed to subside a little. He glanced at He Lanyue, then at the four shopkeepers kneeling on the ground, his eyes flashed, and he scolded in a deep voice: "You four, Corrupting ink and shop silver is already a heinous crime! It should be sent to the government for investigation!"

The four of them were so frightened that they knelt down to He Lanwei and kowtowed for mercy.

He Lanyue still looked on blankly, as if the matter had nothing to do with her.

Seeing the four people begging for mercy, He Lanwei's eyes moved slightly, and he said cunningly: "If you hand over all the money you have been greedy for, maybe the truth will use its discretion and make a difference."

The four of them were about to thank them, and then handed over all the money without hesitation, in exchange for He Lanwei's 'spare'.For them, life is more important than money.However, He Lanyue's words made them restrain their movements.

"No need!" The tone was as light as if talking to a stranger, and the green eyes were looking at He Lanwei with no emotion. "They are all my mother's people, and it is up to me to decide whether to reward or punish them."

"Xiaodie, bring the four shopkeepers back to the yard."

"Miss..." Xiaodie was a little worried and hesitated.The master is the head of the family, why would the lady contradict the master in public?If the master is angry, what should I do?
When He Lanwei heard this, the anger that had just calmed down in her chest was rekindled, how dare she talk to him like that!Immediately said in a deep voice: "Could it be that you are not my daughter, He Lanwei?"

"Daughter? Do you know when I was weaned, at what age did I change my teeth, and when was my birthday?" He Lanyue subconsciously said in a cold voice, as if a grievance that did not belong to her was spreading in her heart.In her previous life, she could not express her emotions or anger, so she would never say such a thing.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she knew that this was the grievance accumulated by the original owner over the years, but it just reached a certain point and exploded.Naturally, the more thorough the grievance can be expressed, the better, so she didn't stop her and said that sentence completely.

"You!" He Lanwei was at a loss for words, and his face was a little embarrassed. He didn't know how to argue, so he looked at the old lady beside him and said, "Mother, why is Yueer..."

"Yue girl is right, the shop belongs to her, and the people belong to her, so she should deal with it." Before He Lanwei finished speaking, the old lady spoke directly, interrupting what he said.

"Thank you, grandma." Although He Lanyue's answering voice was still flat, it was not as alienated as before.

"Xiaodie, hurry up and bring the four shopkeepers there."

"Yes, miss." Seeing that the old lady was also helping the lady, Xiaodie led the four of them back with confidence.

"You..." Seeing Xiaodie bring the four shopkeepers down, it was as if seeing the white money draining from his eyes, He Lanwei was extremely anxious, but he had no reason to speak, he could only watch anxiously.

He Lanyue stood up, bowed slightly to the old lady, and said, "Grandmother, Yue'er will leave." Then she turned and left.

He Lanwei looked at He Lanyue's leaving back, his eyes darkened, and then he also bid farewell to the old lady, and followed He Lanyue out of the room.

"Yue'er, wait a minute." Once out of the yard, He Lanwei whispered to He Lanyue, as if he was afraid of being discovered.

He Lanyue stood still at the sound, but did not turn around.She didn't pay attention to He Lanwei at first, but before he was in the house, he had been observing her secretly. She didn't like the feeling of being inexplicably missed.

Seeing that He Lanyue didn't turn around, He Lanwei's eyes sank, and then quickly recovered, and walked to her side quickly, with a soft tone, and said: "Yue'er, I know that you resent him in your heart. Father admits that he was too indifferent to you before. From today on, I promise that Father will no longer be indifferent to you."

He Lanwei paid attention to He Lanyue while talking, and seeing that the latter's expression did not change at all, he was still indifferent, and said directly: "I know that you want to marry His Highness the Crown Prince and become the Crown Prince's concubine. However, the crown prince's throne is It's not easy to sit firmly, and your position as the crown prince will no longer exist. My father is doing this for your own good. If you don't want to, my father can persuade Jiaojiao to marry the crown prince for you Your Highness, when the time comes..."

"No need!" He Lanyue interrupted in a deep voice, her green eyes covered with a thin layer of coldness.It turned out that this was the reason why He Lanwei had been paying attention to her before.She didn't believe that he would really stop her from marrying the prince for her own good.Among them, most of the reasons are the silver.However, even the dignified left minister said that Jun Moqi's position as the crown prince is not stable, it seems that the title of the hot potato on the throne is well deserved.

This made her even more curious, who is the second prince Jun Moqi who is covered with sores and sits on the crown prince that everyone avoids?

Back in the room, seeing the four shopkeepers standing aside neatly, seeming to be breathing carefully, He Lanyue couldn't help but raise her brows slightly, and with a barely perceptible smile, she pulled up a chair and sat down casually. From above, looking at them lightly.

Xiaodie stood directly beside He Lanyue, looking at He Lanyue with admiration.When she was in the old lady's room before, she couldn't believe that these four shopkeepers didn't help the old lady hide it, but told the truth.All this seems to be in a dream.

Although she didn't know why, she knew that it must be because of Miss.The things that the lady bought back before may be preparations.

The room was quiet, He Lanyue didn't speak, and the four shopkeepers didn't beg for mercy immediately, so it lasted for two sticks of incense.

Finally, a shopkeeper couldn't stand it any longer, and begged for mercy: "Miss, I know I was wrong, and I would like to return all the money I have been greedy for, and I only ask that the lady will give you a lighter sentence."

The other three people begged for mercy one after another when they saw that someone had made a start, and were willing to give money as compensation.

He Lanyue remained motionless and sneered in her heart.These four people must have thought that they would not be severely punished if they had saved them in front of He Lanwei before, so they didn't ask for mercy immediately, so they left some money privately and handed over the rest .As for the trembling expression at the beginning, it was also for her to see, to make her feel soft.

Sure enough, he is a profiteer, thinking about money all the time, even in the current situation.

Looking at the four people who bowed to admit their mistakes, He Lanyue didn't react at all, and still maintained the previous casual action, but anyone could tell that it was not random at all.

Seeing that He Lanyue still didn't make a statement, the four of them panicked. They all knelt down on the ground, saying the same begging words to He Lanwei before, with more or less panic on their faces.Why didn't she speak? Didn't she save them before to show mercy?
"Shut up!" He Lanyue interrupted their begging in a cold voice, and made the room quiet again, "If you want to avoid being sent to the government, it's very easy, just do three things."
