Chapter Ninety-Seven: Paying Back

Inside the hall.

The butlers of the second, third, fourth, and fifth princes gathered together, and the four butlers each held a teacup, drinking tea slowly as if no one else had been.

Except for the sound of teacups colliding, the four of them did not communicate or communicate at all. It's just that the other three butlers will look at the butler of the second prince from time to time.

The second prince is now the closest prince to the throne, and his words and deeds naturally attract the greatest attention from other princes.

Therefore, after the other princes learned that the second prince actually invited a blind fortune teller to meet in private, they naturally felt that there was something very wrong here.

Although they didn't understand why this blind fortune teller suddenly appeared outside the Second Prince's Mansion, it didn't delay them from taking action in the first place.

After being arrested, beaten, and tortured in the quickest possible time, they all received a sentence from a blind fortune teller who guaranteed his life.

"I absolutely only told you and the second prince about this matter!"

"Spare my life, I can go back to the second prince as an internal response!!"

Although after the results of the questioning, their team was quickly intercepted.

But in a short period of time, there are prepared masters in the imperial city, and among the many princes, the second prince is naturally the most suspicious.

Therefore, the other princes were suspicious that the reason why only one of the teams they sent came back was because the second prince reacted too quickly and directly intercepted the others.

After all, these princes are competing with each other, and they will not communicate about this matter

Therefore, the eyes of the other stewards looking at the steward of the second prince's family were naturally a little wrong.

When the other princes got the information, they naturally wanted to find some strange people to verify the authenticity of this news.

But when they learned that the second prince had sent a housekeeper to Li Shoufu's house early in the morning, they made up their minds that no matter whether the news was true or not, they couldn't let the second prince's people get it first!

Among the four people, the steward of the second prince's family had the calmest expression.

Last night.

The second prince found three inner ghosts in his house.

This is actually very normal, everyone knows that there must be ghosts in the second prince's mansion, let alone finding out three, even finding out thirty can accept it.

This trip today is actually to see how many people are involved in the operation against that blind fortune teller.

Now that I see the other three housekeepers, I actually have a number in my heart.

Outside the hall, there was a string of footsteps.

Several housekeepers subconsciously raised their heads and glanced in the direction where the voice came from.

Li Momei walked to the hall unhurriedly.

It's not that she deliberately walked so slowly, but Li Momei still felt that the strength in her body didn't come back, so she could only walk slowly.

The flush on his face was also quickly powdered to barely cover it.

Otherwise, it would be strange to go to meet people with a big red face.

When she came to the door of the hall, Li Momei nodded lightly to the housekeepers.

Li Momei herself also has a lot of favors, and she will not be quiet to these housekeepers.

"All the housekeepers came here today, what's the matter?"

At this time, the expressions of several housekeepers were very harmonious, and they said without arguing with each other:

"We just have some small things, the housekeeper of the Second Prince's Mansion came the earliest, so let's let him say it first."

"In terms of seniority, the second prince and housekeeper should speak first, and Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to ask us first."

"Yes, yes, yes."

Three of the four housekeepers asked the housekeeper of the second prince to speak first, and at this time, the housekeeper of the second prince did not shirk, and took out a list from his arms with a smile.

"There is actually nothing to do today, two years ago, the second prince borrowed 4,000 taels of silver from the shopkeeper Li because he wanted to print books for the talents who entered Beijing to take the exam, and yesterday I found out that the silver has not been returned."

"I'm here to pay back the money today."

As he spoke, the second prince's housekeeper directly handed over the slip in his hand and the four thousand taels of silver tickets together.

Then he hugged his fist at Li Momei and said:

"There are still some things to do, so I'll leave first."

After saying this, the housekeeper of the second prince left without looking back.

The other three butlers were dumbfounded!

What's the situation?

Didn't the second prince's butler come to give gifts?

The housekeeper of the second prince didn't give a gift, and he couldn't take out his own gift!

If you take it out yourself, doesn't it directly indicate that you are the force that participated in the action last night!

Even if you can guess something, it doesn't exist until it is absolutely stated.

It's like an open and secret battle between many princes, none of them will be so obvious.

Li Momei took the receipt and silver ticket in her hand, her expression a little confused.

Two years ago, the account was only four thousand taels, and she really forgot what it was for the second prince at that time.

When Li Mo didn't raise his head and looked at the other three stewards, the three stewards felt as if they had nothing to say.

Originally, the excuse they wanted to find for themselves was that if the people of the second prince gave gifts, they also followed suit, and they didn't even bother to find an excuse.

Who would have thought that the steward of the second prince's family would come to send money!

At this point, one of the stewards had a big brain.

"Shopkeeper Li, I did have some things here, but there are still some things that I can't open my mouth."

"Recently, our house needs to repair the back garden, and the silver of the household has not arrived, so I want to ask you directly to borrow 5,000 taels first, and the silver will be returned next month!"

The housekeeper's idea was good.

If you can come under the pretext of repaying the money, I can also come under the pretext of borrowing money!

Five thousand taels is not a lot of money for Li Moran.

Directly call the steward around you to pick up the silver ticket.

The remaining two housekeepers also seemed to have found their most suitable excuses, one said that he wanted to borrow a hundred of the best silk horses for the harem concubines as a gift, and the other said that he wanted to borrow some grain and send it to other provinces for circulation.

These two things need Li Momei to write the list herself.

With Li Momei's personal seal on it, you can take out the goods directly.

The four butlers came and went as fast as they came.

Li Momei didn't react for a while, what happened?

Could it be that these four princes are ready to do it to themselves?

But his relationship with so many officials and harem concubines in the court is relatively strong, and whoever dares to move will directly usher in the siege of others.

Before dividing the victory or defeat of the prince's position, they didn't dare to do anything to themselves?

Li Momei shook her head, and while thinking, she subconsciously walked to the study.

And Fang Xing, who was in the study, was looking at the collection of books on Li Momei's bookshelf.

There are quite a few books here that can be considered unique.

Maybe he can find what he wants in this.

Chapter 10??? Or Chapter 11??

No matter.

The number of chapters, the number of words, a word is difficult to chase, all completed.

It's done!

Hahahahaha

and go to sleep!

Good night everyone!
