Chapter 28: Stealing Chickens Doesn't Make Rice

Luo Yao spoke unhurriedly, "As far as I know, your two younger brothers have several shops with good business under their names, right?" ”

"What's wrong with my brother having a shop in his name? Can't they have a livelihood to support themselves? Shu Qing's eyes wandered, but he was still confident.

"You know better than me what kind of people your two younger brothers are in Pingping! They have the ability to run a shop, and you secretly use the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion to supplement them? ”

"When did I make up for them with the money from the Prime Minister's Mansion? Don't talk nonsense. ”

Luo Yao sneered, "Do you want me to go back and check the daily expenses of the Prime Minister's Mansion?" ”

"You ......"

Shu Qing was dumbfounded for a while.

Since she married into the Prime Minister's Mansion and took over the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, the Prime Minister has never asked about the expenses of the mansion and other matters, what happened to her spending her man's money? It's not the turn of a married daughter to ask!

Shu Qing sneered coldly, "Since the princess has time to take care of the affairs of the Prime Minister's Mansion, it is better to take care of your own affairs, don't really wait until the day you are swept away, and go back to your parents' house to cry." ”

In the past few days, Shu Qing has inquired about leaving the palace clearly, and knows that Luo Yao is not treated by Xiao Yan, and there is no name for leaving the princess.

Luo Yao walked up to her with a gloomy face, raised her hand and slapped her hard, and looked coldly at the corners of her mouth oozing blood.

"You ......"

Shu Qing wiped the bloodshot from the corners of his mouth, covered his beaten face, and was about to open his mouth when he was interrupted by Luo Yao's sharp voice, "A house-filler is also worthy of teaching me how to do things?" Do you really think that if you marry my father, you will really become my mother?

In the prime minister's mansion in the past, how did your mother and daughter treat me and ruined my reputation, do you really think I will forget it like this? ”

Shu Qing didn't know whether she was stunned or stupid by Luo Yao's words, she just covered her face and looked at her, not daring to say more than half a word.

Is this still Luo Yao, who was handled by her predecessor and served as a foil for Luo Jiao?

Luo Yao warned in a cold voice, "You'd better hand over the things left by my mother to me as they are, but if you dare to deduct half of it, I will make you walk around without eating." ”

An impressive chill hit, Shu Qing swallowed nervously, and took a few steps back.

She was about to speak, when she caught a glimpse of a tall and majestic figure coming towards the antechamber.

With a roll of her eyes, she knelt at Luo Yao's feet, hugged Luo Yao's legs and cried bitterly.

"I really didn't deduct what the eldest lady left behind, I have already returned everything to the princess, please don't be angry, if you still don't think it's enough, I'll go back and sell my jewelry into silver and give it to the princess."

"What is this doing, Mrs. Prime Minister?"

Xiao Yan put one hand behind his back, and when he crossed the threshold of the front hall, he asked casually.

Hearing this, Shu Qing immediately knelt down and turned around, crying and explaining to Xiao Yan, "It's the princess who feels that her biological mother has left too few things and wants to order more things."

I can't blame the princess for this matter, and I also blame our prime minister's mansion for being useless, and failing to prepare a decent dowry for the princess, but it made the queen mother take a lot of effort, and I should sell my jewelry to compensate the princess. ”

Being reminded by Shu Qingyi, Xiao Yan asked thoughtfully: "What did the queen mother bother with?" ”

Shu Qing raised his eyes and said truthfully: "The prime minister of our family is an honest official, and he can't take out much valuable dowry, and the princess's dowry is arranged by the queen's mother." ”

"Oh?"

Xiao Yan looked at Luo Yao with a subtle expression.

Luo Yao also looked at him, and the eyes of the two touched together, and no one could guess what each other was thinking.

She was just about to reply to Shu Qing when she heard Xiao Yan speak again.

"It's rare that the prime minister's wife has this thought, and this king naturally can't refute your kindness, so you can go back and sell your jewelry and send the silver to the princess as soon as possible!"

Shu Qing: "......"

Luo Yao: "......"

Both of them were dumbfounded!

Shu Qing originally wanted Xiao Yan to see the scene of Luo Yao forcing the elders to kneel and selling jewelry, which made Luo Yao's image in Xiao Yan's heart plummet.

Who would have thought that Xiao Yan didn't react at all, and urged himself to sell his jewelry as soon as possible.

The current situation was far from what Shu Qing expected, and she didn't know how to react for a while.

Luo Yao thought that Xiao Yan would take the opportunity to teach herself a lesson, so that she could not get off the stage in front of Shu Qing to retaliate against her.

What he said just now really surprised her.

"What is the Prime Minister's wife still doing on her knees?" Xiao Yan asked coldly.

Shu Qing's mind was still a little dazed, he didn't understand what his intentions were, and he didn't dare to respond rashly.

"Not to sell your jewelry? Go ahead and do it as soon as possible. ”

Shu Qing immediately came back to her senses and stumbled to answer, "Yes, yes, the courtiers will go home and sell their jewelry, and send the silver to the princess as soon as possible." ”

When the words fell, Shu Qing got up suddenly, couldn't wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly walked out.

"Wait!"

Xiao Yan suddenly spoke, so frightened that Shu Qing stood in place, and his heartbeat became nervous.

She turned around and asked respectfully, "What else does the prince command?" ”

"When is it as soon as possible?"

This question made Shu Qing stunned again, and she quickly came back to her senses and replied, "Three days later." ”

"Huh?"

Xiao Yan was obviously not satisfied with her answer.

"Two, two days." She raised her eyes and glanced at Xiao Yan, and immediately changed her words, "Tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then tomorrow."

"Ministers, courtiers and courtiers retire."

"Yes."

Shu Qing didn't dare to stay longer for a moment, and fled and left the palace.

After getting into the carriage, she wiped the sweat on her forehead in shock, "It's really evil, it's not that you don't want to see Luo Yao when you leave the king, and you also threw her in the abandoned courtyard, why did you help Luo Yao just now?" ”

At the thought of selling jewelry, Shu Qing was so angry that his chest hurt.

But when she thought about it, it was better to sell the jewelry than to return the property left by Lan Qin, she still made money.

It's just a stinky girl, what is she afraid of? Hugh wants to get back Lan Qin's property!

Luo Yao didn't have time to chase, and Shu Qing ran away without a figure.

She came to Xiao Yan angrily, and asked without a good temperament: "Why did you let her go?" I'm not done with her yet. ”

"This king helped you just now, what kind of attitude do you have?" Xiao Yan snorted dissatisfiedly.

"Who wants your help? Have a finger in the pie! ”

Xiao Yan gritted her teeth and called out her name, "Luo! Yao! ”

She had already seen through Xiao Yan's thoughts, and exposed him mercilessly, "You didn't help me just now, you were helping yourself, I am your princess, this is the palace of Liwang, she dares to bully your princess on your territory, she is slapping you in the face, you will definitely not get used to her." ”

Seeing through her thoughts, Xiao Yan glanced at her silently.

Not wanting her to be too proud, his thin lips moved, "The silver sent by the prime minister's wife will be handed over to this king for safekeeping." ”

"Why?"

"Just because this is the king's territory, you are the king's princess." Xiao Yan used her words to fight back against her.

"You ......"

I've seen shameless, but I've never seen such shameless.

Luo Yao was so angry that she was just about to reason with him, and the porter who was guarding the door hurriedly came to Xiao Yan.

"Lord Wang, the people from the palace are outside the door, saying that they want to see the princess."

"I don't know the people of the government, what do they do when they see me?" Luo Yao asked with a confused expression.
