Chapter 066 Deliberate
Minglu walked forward expressionlessly, bowed and saluted, "I wonder what the Third Miss wants to see His Highness about. His Highness is busy now, and he has ordered me to get things done for the Third Miss."
The smile on the face of the Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion suddenly froze, "What do you mean?"
Ming Lu said respectfully, "Miss Third, if you have any problem, just tell me. I can help her solve it on behalf of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."
The Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion felt her cheeks burning for a moment. She stared at Ming Lu in disbelief, "You're replacing him? The person I want to see is him, how can you replace him?"
"Your Highness is busy now."
"What's wrong with him that he won't even see me? Did you know that I almost became the mistress of this prince's mansion a few months ago?"
Minglu lowered his eyes, "Miss Third, please be careful with your words. Our queen has a bad temper."
The third young lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion felt like she was about to explode with anger.
Why!
Why does everyone in this mansion have to look at Su Qingqing's face and listen to Su Qingqing's orders? These people won't even let her in the door. She can't even see the prince if she wants to!
"Is it that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is busy or that the Crown Princess doesn't want me to see her?" The grievances, depression, anger and humiliation in her heart for days burst out in an instant. She stood there with tears in her eyes, her voice a little harsh and sharp.
"Yu'er!"
An old voice came from behind.
The third lady of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion turned around and saw Rong'an Marquis rushing over.
Ming Lu immediately delivered a message to Rong An Hou's Mansion after receiving Rong Que's order. He was waiting for the news from there that Rong An Hou had come out of the mansion before coming to see the third young lady.
The timing was just right.
Seeing Rong'an Marquis coming, Minglu bowed and saluted, "I'm sorry to trouble you, sir. The Crown Prince has been very angry these days because the Crown Princess was frightened in the West Mountain Camp. He was afraid that the Crown Princess would not sleep well these days, so he has been accompanying the Crown Princess since dark."
The meaning of these words is very clear inside and out.
The Crown Prince regards the Crown Princess as his most important person.
Marquis Rong'an felt ashamed, but since his own daughter came to him on her own initiative, he could not vent his anger on the prince. He just nodded and smiled at Minglu, then took the third lady away.
The Third Miss was provoked by Ming Lu's words and lost control of her emotions. "Sure enough, it was the Crown Princess who didn't let the Crown Prince see me!"
At this moment, a servant came forward and whispered something in Minglu's ear.
After hearing this, Minglu said to Rong'an Hou: "The third lady came to visit us, probably because of a servant in our house.
Coincidentally, the results of our processing have also come out.
The kitchen manager has embezzled 100,000 taels of silver over the past few years, a huge amount, and she has refused to admit her fault. Your Highness has reported it to the police, and just now, the officials from Jingzhao Yin came over and are now taking her away."
As he spoke, he turned to Miss Third and asked, "Miss Third, do you want to see her one last time?"
A surge of blood rushed to the top of her head, and the third young lady almost vomited blood.
"The Crown Princess has done this to humiliate the reputation of the Crown Prince's mansion, and the Crown Prince is just going to let it go?"
Ming Lu said solemnly, "Miss Third, be careful with your words. It was the kitchen maid who brought disgrace upon the reputation of the mansion. The Crown Princess has uncovered the pests in the mansion, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince knows right from wrong."
After saying that, he made a gesture to see the guest off.
Marquis Rong'an felt that he had lost all face.
What is this!
In the morning, a widow named Li suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It turned out that Zhou from the Su family framed the Crown Princess and somehow involved their family.
It was not easy to settle this issue, but now another one involves a kitchen maid.
Many people in Kyoto knew about the relationship between the kitchen maid and their family. When something like this happened, their family should have been the first to avoid suspicion. However, not only did his daughter not avoid suspicion, she even went to the house to make the decision for the maid.
Is this because your brain is squeezed by the door?
How could a child who is usually very steady and smart do such a stupid thing!
In a rage, Marquis Rong'an took his daughter away by force.
How he scolded his daughter after returning home was his business. When Su Qingqing heard about this, she was watching Jixiang beaming with joy.
Today, right after the incident at the teahouse outside, Jixiang received the real account books from the remaining managers in the mansion, along with a huge sum of silver. They said that there was a problem with the previous accounts, and the loopholes were discovered during the inventory.
Su Qingqing didn't bother with them, because she had achieved her goal anyway.
"Your Majesty, should we just accept this silver?" Jixiangle couldn't close his mouth.
Su Qingqing laughed and said, "If I said no, you would vomit to death in the middle of the night."
Jixiang stuck out his tongue and smiled proudly, "Your Majesty is really good at making money. We have only been in Great Yan for a few days, and our income has increased in waves. If we continue like this, in less than a year, our total assets will probably be more than the entire Zhao Kingdom's treasury."
Su Qingqing immediately laughed, "Do you like this way of making money?"
Jixiang nodded, "Of course I like it. What do you call this? This is called using the prince's deficit to supplement our own coffers, commonly known as making something for nothing."
Hahahaha.
Mr. Rong, who was about to enter the door, said: Ha!
Rong Que suddenly came in, and Jixiang's laughter was choked back, and then he swallowed it down. The smile on his little face slowly faded, and finally he looked at Su Qingqing with drooping eyebrows and eyes: My Queen, save me.
Su Qingqing couldn't help but smiled and tapped her nose, "Go out."
Jixiang quickly saluted Rongque and ran away with his tail between his legs.
Seeing Jixiang, Su Qingqing thought of Su Jinghe again. Her heart ached and she bowed to Rong Que, "Why did your highness come here at this time?"
Her attitude towards Rong Que was unusually gentle.
Ever since she learned from Gao Tiankuo that Rong Que had provided great help to her people, Su Qingqing has been grateful to the prince.
However , Rong Que was not used to her friendly attitude and always felt that she had bad intentions.
Rong Que looked at Su Qingqing suspiciously, "I came to ask you when you will go to the West Mountain Camp again. Zhao Chunming mentioned this matter today."
These days, Rong Que still dressed up as Yi Song and went to the Xishan camp to work.
Because of the special treatment that the Duke of Zhenguo treated Yi Song by himself, Zhao Chunming also treated him differently. He replaced Liu Yisheng's position, had his own separate tent, and could leave the camp at will every day.
This made it extremely convenient for him.
Su Qingqing poured tea for Rong Que and said, "If there are no accidents tomorrow, we will go."
Rong Que sat down at the round table, frowned and looked up at her, "Accident?"
Su Qingqing smiled and said, "Today, Your Highness asked Minglu to deal with the kitchen maid in front of Rong'an Marquis and his daughter. Did Your Highness really do it unintentionally?"
Rong Que paused in drinking tea.
This woman is really...
Nothing can be hidden from her!
Su Qingqing looked at Rong Que's reaction and said with a smile, "Since Your Highness deliberately wants the Third Miss of Rong'an Marquis's Mansion to have this feud with me, do you think I can have peace recently?"
Rong Que originally had this idea in mind, because he found out that the issue of military rations for the Xishan camp was closely related to the Rong'an Marquis Mansion, and he wanted to test the Rong'an Marquis Mansion.
But when Su Qingqing said this, his heart suddenly ached, as if he was reluctant to plot against her.
As his thoughts came to mind, Rong Que was stunned for a moment.
Can't bear to leave?
How could that be? They are just cooperating with each other!
In this world, the person he couldn't bear to leave can no longer come back.
