Seeing that those casino thugs had run out, Princess Yongjia breathed a sigh of relief, tidied up her clothes a little, walked over to Cheng Li, and said gratefully: "Uncle Longcheng, thank you for your help today." Otherwise......"

Before he could finish speaking, the young man next to him, who was called "Zong Zhao", suddenly screamed like a beast and threw himself on the IOU on the ground. I couldn't help but say, as soon as I grabbed the IOU, I tore it desperately, and then I desperately stuffed the shredded paper into my mouth and forcibly swallowed it.

Whether it was Cheng Li or Princess He Yongjia, they were just watching him from the side and didn't stop him. A moment later, the boy had swallowed the IOU. Princess Yongjia sighed softly and instructed the people around her, "The little grandfather is tired. You can help the little grandfather in and let him rest for a while. ”

The servants bowed down to receive the order, and then stepped forward to help the boy and lead him into the house. Princess Yongjia smiled slightly bitterly, raised her head and said softly to Cheng Li: "Uncle Longcheng, I can't thank you for your great kindness." If you don't like the humble house, why don't you come in and let me make you a cup of tea with my own hands to show my gratitude?"

When the road is uneven, draw a knife to help. For Cheng Li, this is just a small thing to do, and he doesn't need to be thanked by others. So after driving away those casino thugs, Cheng Li originally wanted to leave. However, looking at Princess Yongjia's pitiful expression, there was still a very obvious expectation in her eyes, obviously she still had something to ask for. Considering that she was Princess Qingyang's aunt after all, Cheng Li hesitated slightly, and finally nodded, turned over and dismounted.

"It's a small gesture, and you don't need to thank you. However, it is also a rare opportunity to drink a cup of tea made by the princess herself. In that case, it would be disrespectful to go down. ”

Princess Yongjia didn't expect to stay with Cheng Li, just a chance to go. Cheng Li actually agreed, and Princess Yongjia couldn't help but be overjoyed. immediately led the way in front and led Cheng Li into the house. As for Ryoma's "servant", naturally there are family members who come to help take care of it.

Cheng Li and Princess Yongjia, the two of them entered the hall one after the other, passing through several courtyards and halls. Along the way, Cheng Li saw that although the scale of this mansion was quite large, it was not inferior to the Zhao State Mansion. However, the beams and pillars of the portal everywhere are either painted or defected, showing an old and dilapidated color. Looking at the clothes of the housekeepers, maids and others along the way, they are all half-old and not new, as if they have not been changed for two or three years. On such a large family, such a scene is really a bit staggering.

Moments later, the two entered a tea room and took their seats. Princess Yongjia clapped her palms and asked her subordinates to pick up a bucket of fresh well water. Apologized: "Uncle Long Cheng, I'm sorry. If you want to make tea, in fact, the water from Jinquan Mountain outside the city is the best. Unfortunately, the road is far away, so I was not prepared. Please also forgive Long Chengbo. ”

Cheng Li waved his hand and said, "It's okay." As long as it is cooked by His Royal Highness's own hands, no matter what kind of water is used, it will be as good as food below. ”

Princess Yongjia said with a smile: "Longcheng Bozhen can speak. Then he did it himself, boiling water and making tea. One board and one eye, but also done well.

In a few moments, the tea was ready. Princess Yongjia served tea with her own hands and said diligently: "Uncle Longcheng, please make tea." ”

Cheng Li took the teacup, but saw that the teacup was as white as jade, and it was as thin as paper, but when he held it in his hand, he didn't feel hot at all. I couldn't help but praise: "Good porcelain." This is tribute porcelain, right?"

Princess Yongjia was slightly colored, and said: "This is the tribute porcelain of the Ding kiln." When I got married, the imperial brother personally selected this set of tea utensils for me as one of the dowries. Alas~ Speaking of which, that was many years ago. ”

After a pause, Princess Yongjia sighed again: "The first husband and the royal brother are friends since childhood. After her husband became an adult, he followed his imperial brother to fight in the south and the north, and his achievements were impressive. The Great Wei Dynasty can have today, and the ancestor also has a meritorious service. Therefore, he was canonized as the Duke of Yue by the imperial brother.

It's a pity that the late husband was on the battlefield and was seriously injured several times. Although they barely survived later, they have already hurt their roots. So much so that he died young. If this is not the case, there should be a place for the first husband among the so-called twelve dry cities today. ”

Cheng Li nodded and persuaded: "The deceased is gone, and His Highness doesn't need to be too sad." Everything will eventually pass, and everything will slowly get better. ”

Princess Yongjia was silent, but clenched her fists hard. She was so hard that the knuckles of her fingers were already white, and the back of her hand was faintly visible.

Cheng Li didn't speak, just slowly finished a cup of hot tea. Gently lower the teacup. Only then did he say: "Your Highness......"

Princess Yongjia suddenly raised her head, gritted her teeth and said, "That little thief, I can't wait to kill him!"

Cheng Li frowned and said, "What......?

Princess Yongjia interrupted Cheng Li's words again, and said hatefully: "My husband was once injured on the battlefield and damaged his kidneys. So after we got married, we never had children. Later, my husband was seriously ill, and his family insisted on bringing a child and asked me to recognize him as an adopted son for my late husband. Although I don't want to, I think that if I have this adopted son, my husband will not cut off the incense in the future. So I reluctantly agreed. But I never thought ......"

After a pause, Princess Yongjia said slowly: "That thief is not a human at all, he is a white-eyed wolf who can't be raised!"

Cheng Li sighed. "He's ...... old After all, it's still young, isn't it? Your Highness said that, wouldn't it be a bit too much?"

Princess Yongjia said sadly: "Young? Yes, it's really young." Although this thief is only thirteen years old, almost all the maids in the Yue Guo Mansion have been ruined by him. Not only that, but the thief even ...... He even hit me with the idea...... Wan'er beside me. ”

Cheng Li looked at his face and looked at it, and he had already seen that Princess Yongjia was speaking, and he obviously had reservations. Perhaps, what the young Chai Zongzhao really wanted to fight the bad idea was not Wan'er, but Princess Yongjia. However, since Princess Yongjia didn't make the matter clear, Cheng Li naturally wouldn't rashly expose other people's privacy.

Princess Yongjia sighed. He smiled bitterly and said, "After that time, I ordered the people in my family to strictly supervise this little thief. He also seemed to be at peace for a while. But I really never expected that he would be silent and cause such a catastrophe outside.

A debt of 100,000 taels of silver, 100,000 taels of silver, haha~ Seriously, although I am a princess, I have never seen 100,000 taels of silver piled up together, what will it look like. Not to mention, he actually spent 100,000 taels of silver with his own hands. ”

Cheng Li said slowly: "Although the little grandfather tore up the IOU, the IOU may not be the original, maybe it is only a copy." Even if it is indeed the original, Anfu Casino is the largest casino in Baiyujing, and I heard that the backstage is very large and the background is very hard. They would never simply bring it to light up as if nothing had happened.

Princess, maybe you should go to the palace as soon as possible and tell the Son of Heaven about this. Only when the Son of Heaven orders the intervention can this matter be truly resolved. ”

Princess Yongjia shook her head with a wry smile and sighed: "The family is ugly, don't publicize it." Suddenly, he stood up, tidied up the hem of his dress, and then bowed down to Cheng Liyingying. said sadly: "At this moment, the only one who can save the concubine is Long Chengbo." So Uncle Long Cheng, please, save the concubine. ”
