Chapter 425 She is Really a Trouble
Xiao Qingyuan was stunned: "How can this be possible? If I hand Yan Luo over to the Yu family, she will definitely die! You have never seen the Yu family members being fierce, and you don't know how much the Yu family members hate her!"
Shen Wantang said indifferently: "Maybe I really don't know how much the Yu family hates, but I know that the second young lady of the Yu family was killed by Aunt Chu's medicine. Even if she pays the Yu family with a life, it is not too much."
"Then Miss Yu committed suicide, it was not Yan Luo who killed her!"
"I am not very clear about the specific situation. The prince asked me what to do, and I only gave a feasible way. The specific way to do it is still up to the prince."
Shen Wantang yawned and said, "I am very tired today, please go back, my lord!"
"Wait! Bring me one thousand taels of silver first!"
"Whoever caused the trouble should bear the consequences. Aunt Chu didn't give me a penny when she made money. Now she wants to pay me back, so she asks me for it? You can ask her, or you can ask Huayi. I heard that she paid for Aunt Chu's doctor before. I'm sure she would be willing to share the burden for Aunt Chu now."
Xiao Qingyuan's face was not looking good: "Why are you so stingy that you won't even give me one thousand taels!"
"I love money more than my life. Is this the first day that you know this? If you want money, it's almost like you want my life."
"You!! Since you are so unkind, don't blame me for being unjust! Humph, I will go to my mother and complain about you, and ask her to take back your housekeeping rights! From now on, I will be in charge of this family!"
Shen Wantang widened his eyes slightly: "The prince wants a housekeeper?"
"Why, are you scared? It's too late to be scared now! It's no use begging me, I'm going to file a complaint today!"
Shen Wantang wanted to laugh a little. She was not afraid of Xiao Qingyuan's complaint.
She nodded: "Then go ahead and sue, my son. I'm a little tired of being the housekeeper and want to take a break."
Xiao Qingyuan snorted coldly and turned away.
After living in poverty and hardship for so long, he was completely fed up. He no longer thought that gold and silver were dirty and vulgar things. He felt that gold and silver were the most useful things in the world!
He wants to be the housekeeper! He wants to manage all the money in the palace! From now on, he can spend money however he wants, and he doesn't have to look at other people's faces anymore!
He entered Princess Ning's room aggressively: "Mother, Shen Wantang is too stingy and mean. I asked her for 1,000 taels of silver, but she refused to give it to me! Don't let her manage the household anymore, let me manage it!"
Princess Ning was drinking ginseng tea and choked when she heard this: "Ahem! What did you say?!"
"After all, Shen Wantang is also an outsider. You let her be the housekeeper, but she took all the money and lived a carefree life! But what about me? I live worse than the beggars on the street! Let me take care of the palace from now on, and give all the money to me, so that Shen Wantang won't get any advantage."
Princess Ning was stunned: "You can manage the household? Do you think this is an easy thing?"
"How else could it be so difficult? If Shen Wantang can handle it, why can't I?"
"The knowledge of being a housekeeper is very profound. It looks simple, but it is actually very difficult! Moreover, the harem has always been managed by the mistress, and men are busy with things outside. If you were to be the housekeeper of Prince Ning's mansion, I'm afraid you would be laughed at to death."
"So, mother doesn't want me to be the housekeeper anymore?"
Princess Ning glared at him and said, "Of course I can't let you take charge. If I let you take charge, within a month, you will squander all the wealth in the palace!"
"Impossible! I haven't even taken care of it yet, why would mother say that to me?"
"Then tell me, what do you plan to do with the 1,000 taels of silver you asked Tang'er for?"
"I...I want to compensate the Yu family so that they won't come to cause trouble again."
When Princess Ning heard this, she couldn't hold back her anger: "How dare you say that they are causing trouble? Their daughter is dead! Who did this? It's all Chu Yanluo's fault!"
"Since you met her, has our palace had a good life? Someone has died, and you still want to protect her? And you want to use money to get rid of the Yu family for her?"
"I'm telling you, you must not pay a penny for her! Hand her over, and the Yu family can do whatever they want with her! From now on, you have nothing to do with her!"
Xiao Qingyuan didn't expect her to have this attitude. His face looked a little ugly: "Why did mother and Shen Wantang say the same thing? Why are both of you so cold and heartless? Isn't Yan Luo's life worth one thousand taels of silver?"
"Not worth it! She's worthless!"
Princess Ning's voice kept getting louder and louder. "I think Tang'er did the right thing this time. I shouldn't have given you the silver! Chu Yanluo caused the trouble herself, so she should pay for it with her own life!"
"This matter has nothing to do with you. The medicine was made by her, the prescription is hers, and the person who sold her the medicine was not you, but Shendantang!"
"If you have any brains, you should immediately draw a clear line between yourself and Chu Yanluo! If the Yu family wants an explanation, let them go to Shendan Hall and find Chu Yanluo!"
"Your sister's matter has already made your father and I very anxious. It's fine if you don't help or show any sympathy, but how can you cause more trouble at a time like this! Don't you think your father and I are not worried enough?"
Xiao Qingyuan's head was buzzing after being scolded, but there was one thing he was very clear about - he didn't really care about Chu Yanluo that much now. He even felt that she was really a trouble.
There was a lack of confidence in his voice: "Mother, don't be angry first. I'm just afraid that if I hand Yan Luo over directly, people will laugh at me for being incompetent. If I can't even keep a concubine, people will think that we, the Ning Wang Mansion, are weak and can be bullied, right?"
Princess Ning understood what he meant and knew that his attitude towards Chu Yanluo had undergone a qualitative change. Her eyes reddened and she almost cried.
God has mercy on my son, and he is finally no longer obsessed with Chu Yanluo!
She said hurriedly: "She is just a concubine. If she killed someone, it doesn't matter if she is handed over! If you want to protect even such a person, others will only think that our Ning Wangfu is arrogant and overbearing, and that we rely on our status to bully others!"
"Isn't your sister's lesson enough? Do you know how many people are scolding her now? Everyone says that she is relying on her status as a princess to kill people arbitrarily!"
"If you also spread a reputation of being arrogant and domineering, and treating human life as worthless, the palace will be finished! The emperor will definitely punish our family!"
Xiao Qingyuan frowned: "Then I'll think about it again."
"What else is there to think about? Hurry up and give Chu Yanluo to the Yu family. As long as you do, people outside will praise you for your kindness and righteousness, and will never laugh at you! After all, she is a murderer! She deserves to be punished!"
Xiao Qingyuan sighed, turned and left.
As soon as he left, all the anxiety and anger on Princess Ning's face disappeared.
She looked unusually calm, with a hint of a smile on her lips: "I never thought that Chu Yanluo would be so desperate. Yuan'er finally wants to get rid of her. We can finally get rid of a major threat to our palace."
