Chapter 224: Intercession

With a pale face, Hong Rou tried her best to restrain her fright and asked the eldest princess of the protector, "If the eldest princess really wants to treat us like this, isn't she afraid that the third prince will be angry?"

"Afraid, how can Hongu not be afraid? Isn't that why we have to use silver to suppress the shock?"

The eldest princess looked at Hong Rou with a smile, and said as a matter of course, "What, are you reluctant to give up the silver?"

"Eldest princess, my silver is only enough to redeem myself, but I can't redeem them. Take them all away, and don't humiliate them any more."

Seeing that the third prince couldn't suppress the eldest princess of the country at all, and was afraid that the eldest princess of the protector who had lost her mind would really make such a humiliating action as she said, Hong Rou's eyes flashed with regret, regretting that she had underestimated that after losing her own daughter, the eldest princess would go crazy like this.

What can an ordinary person say to a madman?

While Hong Rou regretted it, she also began to complain a little about her father-in-law who brought her mother, brothers and sisters, sisters-in-law, nephews and nieces to seek refuge in her.

With this complaint, she cried at Hong Zhao: "Dad, please save your daughter and Yi'er, your daughter really took out the 200,000 taels of silver that she ransomed. If there is no money, then will not my daughter be forced to die?"

200,000 taels of silver, in fact, Hong Rou herself can also take it out. But she didn't dare, and she didn't want to.

I'm afraid that if I really take it out, I will be caught by the eldest princess of the protector and question the three princes. I'm afraid that if I take it out, she won't have any more money on her, and she doesn't have to think about it to know how sad it will be in the days to come.

So it's best to ask for Hong Zhao, after all, didn't the Hong Mansion say that they were going to split up immediately?

Even if her father Hong Zhao can only divide 30% of the family property, even if 30% is less than 200,000 silver, she won't break her muscles and bones if she makes up the rest by herself, right?

Hong Rou's abacus played very well, but Hong Zhao was not happy.

He knew very well in his heart that now that things had come to this, he would not be able to rely on the third prince to give him any title in the future. Even, even the eldest brother's promise that he could let him live in the Hong Mansion was afraid that it would have to be ruined.

In the future, the only thing he can rely on is the family business he secretly earned in the past and the Hong family's money.

The family business that can be secretly earned by himself is in the hands of Ponzi. Thinking that it will also fall into the hands of the princess who protects the country, it is impossible for him to get it back. Wouldn't all the only thing he could rely on in the future be the Hong family's split money?

Those, Hong Zhao doesn't want to give Hong Rou a penny now.

He then shook his head and refused to Hong Rou, "Rou'er, I remembered that your mother had given you a lot of silver. Come to think of it, that silver is enough for you and Yi'er to redeem themselves. If it's really not enough, Dad can help you find the third prince to make it up for you. The Third Prince's side must not be able to watch you be embarrassed."

Saying that, he sighed and said, "Rou'er, it's not that Dad is ruthless, I'm afraid Dad won't be able to take care of you in the future." Glancing at Pang Mei and the other children and grandchildren, he sighed again, and then squatted on the ground with his head in his hands, making a few whimpering sounds.

His behavior suddenly made Hong Rou, Pang Mei and others misunderstand, thinking that his plan would have to use the silver on Pang Mei and others in the future. Z.br>

Suddenly, Pang Mei's eyes were misty with tears, and she looked at Hong Zhao affectionately. But soon, she peeked at the princess and then retracted, looking like she was afraid of irritating the princess, and looked at the princess with amusement and disdain.

The eldest princess of the country was too lazy to guess whether Hong Zhao really had affection for Pang Mei and others, or just made a gesture to confuse them, she just watched the play.

Hong Rou: "......"

Seeing that Hong Zhao was stuffy and no one was looking, it seemed that she was ruthless and really didn't care about herself, she was helpless, and took a look at the princess who was staring at her with someone on the side, and weighed it in her heart for a long time, and finally reluctantly gave all the 200,000 taels of silver to the princess of the protector.

After getting the silver, the eldest princess of the protector sneered at Hong Zhao and said, "Look, this is really a good breed you raised."

Hong Zhao: "......"

Hong Rou

:「.…..」

Pang Mei and the others: "......"

He laughed a few times again, and after his subordinates counted the logarithm of the silver tickets, the princess of the protector glanced at Pang Mei and the others, who were already trembling with fright, and retracted her gaze and ordered the people she brought: "Tie them all up and take them away, don't forget to ask before you take them away, but don't leave the luggage they brought." Otherwise, in the future, we can't let Hongu spend money to support them, and even if they eat and drink, they have to worry about them, and they don't even have a change of clothes, right?"

As she spoke, before leaving, the eldest princess of the protector said with a smile to Hong Zhao, who finally raised her head and stopped pretending to be quails: "There are many of them, and the expenses are large, and in the future, whether they will eat bran vegetables or can only eat swishing food that dogs don't eat, or they can't even eat that swishing food, so they can only carry it by themselves, or eat Guanyin soil to satisfy their hunger, but it all depends on whether you send 5,000 or 10,000 silver every month."

What?

In the future, I will have to give money every month? Or give 510,000 silver, and only make Pang and his children and grandchildren live a "good life" like eating chaff vegetables?

Hong Zhao was dumbfounded, and his eyes widened in disbelief.

Compared to him and Hong Rou, who were just dumbfounded, Pang Mei and the other people who had been tied together were like suffering a thunderbolt from the sky, and there was a feeling that the sky was about to fall----

No matter how shocked and unbelievable they were, after letting Pang Mei and the others be sent to Beizhuang for a good reception, she returned to her palace with silver tickets and money found from several people and their luggage.

When she went back, she was sharing today's harvest with Tian Funiang, Zhao Guoer, Ah Hu, and Lei Jing, when she heard someone spread that the third prince was waiting in the gatehouse to ask to see her.

"I didn't expect my good Third Emperor nephew to come quite quickly." The eldest princess sneered, and said to Tian Funiang, Zhao Guo'er, Ah Hu, and Lei Jing, "You go to the inner room and wait first, you don't have to meet him first, and I will talk to him later."

"Okay."

Tian Funiang, Zhao Guo'er, Ah Hu, and Lei Jing all responded to the Dao, avoiding only a thin layer of wood to separate them, so that they could clearly hear the sound outside, and there was even a compartment with peephole to watch the meeting between the eldest princess and the third prince.

The third prince came quickly, and the talent appeared, and he didn't wait to sit down, let alone say a few words of greeting to the eldest princess, so he anxiously cut to the point, and pleaded with the eldest princess of the protector: "Auntie, you can spare Rou'er's mother, brother, sister-in-law, and nephew. This matter is a misunderstanding, and the matter back then had nothing to do with Rou'er's mother."
