Chapter 669: Arguing with Reason

Eight thousand taels of silver is not a small amount for Xipingbo Mansion.

Although the Xiping Prefecture is a house of nobles with a fixed salary, there are many nobles like this in every country. Some have lost power but have not yet passed on their titles for three generations, and some are descendants whose qualifications are too mediocre and have no future. Some of them did things that displeased the emperor and fell into decline.

Nan Xi and Rong Yu arrived late and did not know all about Dongling Honor House. After all, there were too many mansions with honor names but no real power. They did not have so much energy to pay attention to each one. With Rong Yu currently With regard to the methods and means of governing the country, those who are truly promising can almost always be reused, but for those mediocre and incompetent nobles, he will not even give charity out of the corner of his eye.

The declining noble family had almost no other source of income. It could support the family just by relying on the salary and the meager property left by the ancestors, but it could not support the defeat of the dandy descendants.

This is also the reason why Mrs. Tao eagerly wants to marry the Ye family. With in-laws in power, she can help her son find a way out in the future - Ruan Kang, the son of Xiping Bofu, was also in the forbidden army before. Ruan Kang couldn't bear the hardship when Rong Yu was rectifying the imperial army. He took off his military uniform during training and went home.

After leaving the Forbidden Army, Ruan Kang often invited some friends to play in brothels and casinos, drinking and having fun all day long. All the expenses were either on credit or borrowed money. Ruan Kun was so angry that he wanted to take action against his son, but Tao Ruan Kang was so partial to him and protected her like a baby in his arms that he developed the habit of squandering money more and more unscrupulously.

I just didn't expect that after following him all day long to wipe my butt, I still had a sum of money that I had borrowed for more than half a year that I had not repaid, and it was as much as 8,000 taels.

Mr. Tao sat in the room, worried and didn't know what to do: "If your father finds out about this, he will be beaten again."

"Mother should think carefully about how to repay this money now." Ruan Qingying sat opposite Tao, her brows furrowed tightly, "Brother is so shameless, even if he keeps going like this, even if he has gold and silver, it won't be enough to defeat him. , not to mention..."

What's more, the Ruan family has no gold or silver to defeat.

Mrs. Tao frowned: "Now I can only wait for Kang'er to come back and ask him carefully to see if he borrowed the money. I really hope this is false news."

But people with the Huitong bill number came to ask for the account, how could it be fake?

Ruan Qingying held the handkerchief, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Ruan Qingling rode the carriage until outside the palace gate. After getting off the carriage, she followed Yin Shuang on foot to the Dazheng Palace. Chu Nanyi and Rong Yu went to the imperial study room. Only Her Majesty the Queen and the eldest princess were in the palace.

After saluting and saying hello, Qingling heard Her Royal Highness the Eldest Princess say: "Your Majesty is pregnant, Qingling, from now on you will still live in the Dazheng Palace and serve His Majesty personally. You must not make any mistakes."

Qing Ling knelt on the ground and responded respectfully: "Yes."

"In addition, His Majesty plans to open a women's thatched cottage outside the palace. If you are free in the past two days, you can discuss with Master Chu where the thatched cottage will be opened, how big it will be, how to name it, and how to manage it in the future." The eldest princess smiled lightly and said, "This is a task given to you by His Majesty."

Qing Ling was slightly startled, a woman's thatched cottage?

Discuss with Mr. Chu?

The smart and sensitive Qing Ling seemed to understand something. In addition to being grateful, there was also an unspeakable emotion in her heart. The woman's cottage... This was a decision that made her happier and more meaningful than getting married. It is the grace of Her Majesty the Queen, which is good news to all medical women and even women.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." She said, "I will definitely live up to Your Majesty's expectations."

Nan Xi chuckled: "I believe you can do a good job."

"Let me take your majesty's pulse." The eldest princess said calmly, "You will stay in the Dazheng Palace from today on. There is no need to go back."

Qing Ling responded: "Yes."

In the imperial study room, Chu Nanyi was also feeling Rong Yu's pulse. The solemn look on his gentle face made the air freeze for no reason.

"My lord, do you feel unwell when it comes to rainy days?" Chu Nanyi knelt on one knee and raised his eyes slightly, "Are your bones sore or tingling?"

Rong Yu was leaning on the low couch in front of the window, resting his wrists on the desk, and nodded slowly: "It hurts like there are dense needles pricking it."

"How long has this been going on?"

Rong Yu looked indifferent: "I had a vague feeling a long time ago, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Recently, the symptoms have obviously worsened, and the pain is more obvious."

Chu Nanyi frowned, a long time ago?

He was sure that it must have been a long time ago. With Rong Yu's temperament, he would probably not take it seriously unless the situation was serious.

Chu Nanyi retracted his hand, his expression a little unpleasant. Although he understood in his heart, he still asked: "Why didn't you tell me before, Your Majesty?"

Rong Yu glanced at him, raised his hand to pick up the tea cup on the table, closed his eyes and took a sip.

In the past, he felt that there was no need to talk about it, or that he didn't take it seriously at all. Pain was the last thing worth taking to heart. However, the symptoms that have gradually worsened recently made him a little uneasy. He was worried that if the situation became more serious, he would It's so serious that it's out of control.

What should Xi'er do if she really gets out of control? What should Haoer do? Dongling Jiangshan had just stabilized in his hands, and he could not imagine the consequences of losing control.

"When your majesty is a little unwell, the master is so nervous that it seems like the sky is falling, but the master is too careless about his own body." Chu Nanyi said in a light tone, "The master is not worried about himself. What will your majesty do in the future? What will the prince do?"

Rong Yu glanced at him: "It is because of worry that I let you appear here."

"The master should have thought of these problems earlier." Chu Nanyi frowned, and his momentum did not decrease at all. "If I tell the master that the situation is very serious now, what will the master do?"

Rong Yu was silent for a moment: "How serious?"

Chu Nanyi did not speak.

Rong Yu's expression was slightly cold: "Are you angry with me?"

Chu Nanyi's mouth twitched, and he said unhappily: "My Lord, what did you say? I am not His Majesty, how dare I get angry with you?"

"I think you have nothing to be afraid of." Rong Yu's voice was calm, "Just say it."

"My Lord's condition is the root cause of the disease caused by excessive fatigue, physical exhaustion, and cold evil entering the body when he was young and not being discovered and treated in time." Chu Nanyi's tone was a little solemn, "Although it is not fatal, you will not feel comfortable in the future."

Rong Yu's eyebrows and eyes relaxed when he heard the three words "not fatal": "It's okay as long as you are not dead."

Chu Nanyi's mouth twitched again: "Your Majesty must know this."

Rong Yu's expression turned cold: "If you dare to talk too much, I will peel your skin off."

"Even if the Lord peels my skin off, I have to say it." Chu Nanyi argued, "Although the Lord's symptoms are not fatal, he will have to take medicine for a long time in the future, otherwise he will be disabled sooner or later. Does the Lord want His Majesty to take care of you for the rest of your life?"
