Chapter 157 Nan Xi Is so Rich, Why Would She Need These?

Everyone resigned and left, and the imperial study became quiet instantly. Rong Chuyun grabbed the tea cup on the dragon table and smashed it out, click!

The palace people knelt on the ground in fear.

The air was deathly stagnant.

Rong Chuyun closed his eyes, the color in his eyes was dark and cold that could no longer be concealed: "Lu Ying."

The man with a knife on duty outside the royal study pushed open the door and knelt on one knee: "Your Majesty."

"Have you found any information about Gu Qingshu?"

"Reporting to the Emperor, I am sure that Gu Qingshu is still in the Prince Regent's Palace." Lu Ying replied respectfully, "There is no news about the palace maid or Gu Qingshu. I just found out this morning that there is no news about Wei Xiaoran from the Prince Regent's Palace."

Rong Chuyun's face changed slightly, and he stared at him like a cold sword: "What do you mean there is no movement?"

"I just can't find any information about him." Lu Ying replied, "I guess that he has most likely been exposed and was dealt with by the regent."

As soon as the words fell, Rong Chuyun's eyebrows suddenly became as gloomy as ink.

…

Mother and daughter Li's life has been really frustrating these two days.

That day, she was given the title of equal wife in front of many officials. Although the limelight was overshadowed by Yuan's husband, she was the only mistress in the prime minister's house at the moment, and the other concubines had no say at all.

The servants also changed their names and called her "Madam", but she was really aggrieved as a wife. She was probably the most shabby prime minister's wife in history.

I originally thought that after marrying an equal wife, I would be able to appear in the circle of noble ladies in the imperial capital, dress up gorgeously and gracefully, and be proud and equal to those noble ladies. However, since the Yuan family left, the Prime Minister's Mansion has been stretched thin and cannot make ends meet. , restaurants, silver shops, and silk shops outside came to ask for their accounts one after another, and she was exhausted to deal with them, let alone buy herself some jewelry and new clothes... Where did she get the money to buy them?

Even if by chance she was invited by a wealthy lady to enjoy the flowers, under the meaningful gazes of those ladies, she would still feel very shabby, and her face would feel hot and uncomfortable.

When the Regent got married, I originally thought that Nan Xi would leave the Prime Minister's office. In this way, the shop properties left to her by her mother would have to be purchased by the Li family for dowry, and then she would be able to keep some for personal use. Yong, I didn't expect that Nan Xi had no intention of returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and even didn't show up at all these days.

Mrs. Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

In the past two days, I have been annoyed by being asked for accounts every day, and my temper has become more and more irritable day by day. Even my gentle and considerate treatment of Prime Minister Nan has gradually turned into complaints: "Your father is also a prime minister after all. He has a high position and has all the power. How come you just Life has become so miserable? Is this how a prime minister should be rich? Even a ninth-grade sesame official is richer than him! Being pressed for debt all day long has made me—"

"Madam! Madam!" The servant hurried to Tingyuxuan, his voice a little excited, "The Prime Minister is back!"

Since Yuan's husband left, Mrs. Li has moved into this luxurious courtyard. Unfortunately, it is meaningless to have a courtyard by herself. She lives in such a shabby life and cannot sell the courtyard to pay back the money.

Hearing the shouts from the servants, Mrs. Li couldn't help but said angrily: "Why are you making so much noise?"

"The Prime Minister is back." The servant stopped outside the house to report, "He also brought gold, silver, jade, silk and satin, and many jewelry items that were rewarded by the Emperor..."

"Jewelry? Are you telling the truth?" Nan Jiao was surprised and happy. She turned around and pulled her mother, "Father is indeed a popular person in front of the emperor. The emperor probably knows that the Prime Minister's house has not been having a good time recently, so I will soon give you gold and silver jewelry...Mom, let’s go and take a look.”

Mrs. Li was refreshed and hurriedly got up and walked out.

When they arrived at the broad front yard, they saw more than a dozen palace attendants behind Nan Xingzhi lined up holding jade plates and holding silk and satin. The dazzling gold and silver on the jade plates almost dazzled the eyes of the mother and daughter. .

"Master!" Mrs. Li was surprised and excited, staring greedily at the valuable jewelry on the jade plate, "Are these gifts from the emperor?"

Nan Xingzhi felt embarrassed when he saw her losing her composure. He couldn't help frowning and scolding: "Do you still have the demeanor of a mistress of the house? I am the prime minister and it's not only a day or two, why am I so lost for a little reward?"

Li Shi was stunned and realized that those who came over with the jade tray were all people serving in the palace. She quickly folded her clothes and made an elegant gesture: "I am just happy because the prime minister is favored in front of the emperor, not for these rewards. The emperor's grace is so great." , I can’t wait to thank the emperor for his grace——”

"Okay." Nan Xingzhi's expression softened slightly, "Take these things first and put them in the warehouse. Don't use them casually."

Don't use it casually?

Li secretly thought, she is the mistress of the Prime Minister's Mansion, why can't she use these things?

However, in front of the palace people, she certainly would not be stupid enough to say it directly. She nodded and ordered the maid to take everything over. In addition to silks and satins and jewelry, there were also brilliant gold and white flowers. money, these are all good things.

Li Shi and Nan Jiao's eyes sparkled, and they wanted to pick it up and kiss it twice.

"Take these to the warehouse—"

"Eunuch Chen is here!"

A high-pitched voice sounded in the distance. Nan Xingzhi and Li were slightly startled, and then turned around to pick up the person suspiciously.

Chen Fu was dragged over by Qingyang on horseback. The horse was so fast that it almost cost him half his life, and he arrived just in time behind Nan Xingzhi.

As soon as he stepped into the gate of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Qingyang saw the maid of the Prime Minister's Mansion taking the jade plate from the palace servant.

"Wait a minute." Guard Qingyang waved his hand, "Send all these things to the Regent's Mansion."

Li's face changed, and her voice became sharp: "What did you say? These are the rewards from the emperor to the prime minister, you-"

"Auntie Li, you are wrong." Qingyang raised his index finger and shook it slowly in front of her eyes, "This is the wedding gift from the emperor to the Regent Princess, not a reward to the Prime Minister's Mansion."

After that, he turned to look at Chen Fu: "Eunuch Chen, am I right?"

Chen Fu nodded: "Yes."

Li's face changed suddenly.

"Then should the palace servants send all these gifts to the Regent's Mansion?" Qingyang asked coldly, and deliberately emphasized "all", with a very clear attitude.

Chen Fu nodded: "Yes."

What a joke, the Regent asked him to take the gifts back, and the emperor agreed, how dare he say it shouldn't be?

Nan Jiao screamed, "This is impossible!"

These things were clearly brought back from the palace by her father, how did they become Nan Xi's?

Nan Xi is so rich, why would she need these? He should have left all the gold and silver jewelry to her and her mother.
