The queen wants to run away every day

Chapter 463 Public Bribery
Yingyun stayed in the palace for several days and nights, and when she returned to Hefu, she was startled by the sight in front of her. Huge camphorwood boxes filled the entire courtyard, and there was not even a place to set foot.

"What are these things? Do you want to move?" Yingyun glanced at the people in the courtyard with a look of surprise.

Arlene and Liu Quan came up to welcome them, spread their hands, and said, "Brother, now everyone in the court knows that you are a big celebrity around the emperor, so they are rushing to curry favor with you. Look, this is the donkey-hide gelatin antler sent by the Minister of the Household Department." , this is the Suzhou embroidery satin sent by the Minister of Rites...and those...the governor of Zhili just sent it..."

Liu Quan's face was full of anxiety, and he said: "There are still many antique calligraphy and paintings, and the young lady is sorting them out in the study."

Yingyun smiled coldly, and said to Arlene, "Are they blatantly offering bribes?"

Arlene was a little embarrassed, and said, "Brother, I know that if I accept these things, I will lose my tongue and be manipulated by them. But they just delivered the things and left. These heavy boxes are all Uncle Quan and I can't move it, and those calligraphy and paintings are placed in the yard, and if it rains, they will all be destroyed. So... That's why I made the decision and asked my sister-in-law to pack some of the things first... ..."

Yingyun casually opened a few boxes, looked at them, and said, "They are all good things, so it's hard to spend money on them."

Arlene said: "Brother, I'm not at ease here, why don't I call some coolies tomorrow and send the things back to the original place?"

Yingyun smiled lightly, and said, "You can just accept everything as ordered, it's fine."

Arlene stood dumbfounded.

Yingyun explained: "If you send them back, wouldn't it be a shame for them? You make a list of these things, and I will go to the palace to tell the emperor someday."

"OK then."

The three of them were busy in the yard, but a shrill voice came from the door, "Hey, Shanbao, you are promising now, but you still remember me, my mother..."

Shanbao is Heshen's childhood name, and since he left the house, no one has ever called him by that name.

Several people suddenly looked around, only to see Mrs. Xi Tara walking in front of them with a bag, and said with a smile: "Everyone says that I am lucky. I have two promising sons from you two. No, I'm here to enjoy the happiness."

Saying that, Xi Tara was not polite at all, threw the bag to Liu Quan, and said: "Quanzi, go and tidy up a room for me, I will live here from now on."

Liu Quan froze in place, looking at what Yingyun and the others meant.

Before Yingyun could say anything, Arlene pushed her angrily, and reprimanded: "You are really thick-skinned, this is my brother's place, we have broken ties with you, why should we support you? You'd better leave by yourself , or I'll let someone drive you out!"

Xi Tara smiled contemptuously, and said: "A Lin, is this the attitude you should have towards your aunt? If it weren't for me, you two brothers would have starved to death long ago, how can you still be here today? Now that you are promising, I don’t want to recognize me as my aunt, if you drive me out today, I’ll just sit at the door and let the people passing by judge me, look at you two unfilial sons..."

"You!" Arlene was so angry that the veins on her forehead bulged, and she wanted to push her, but Yingyun stopped her.

Yingyun said kindly: "This is Hefu. You are my Heshen's aunt, so you can live there. Uncle Quan, clean up an empty room in the backyard and let her stay here."
