Marrying a rich man after rebirth: The daily life of a legitimate daughter
Chapter 23 Return the Money
Li Wanrong didn't think she had done anything wrong: "It's not like the Prince's Mansion is poor, so it's only natural for them to be extravagant."
"But you can't spend money recklessly. What if something happens and the mansion needs money?" The old lady has been managing the Prince's Mansion for so many years, and what she hates most is waste.
"Aren't there enough gold bars in the storehouse to spend?" Li Wanrong came here not to argue with the old lady. If she continued to argue like this, she was afraid that the prince would be unhappy. She pulled the prince's hand and spoke in a delicate voice: "Prince, look, I just want to eat something delicious, but even the old lady is making things difficult for me."
The prince who was standing by had listened for so long that he probably understood the whole story. Aunt Li was indeed spoiled by him, and it was difficult for her to accept the sudden change in her extravagant lifestyle. He was also reluctant to let Aunt Li suffer, so he said to He Shulan: "Change Aunt Li's meals. Don't make extravagant dishes like bear paws, but other dishes are fine."
He Shulan did not refute: "What should we do with the extra money in Aunt Li's yard? Who will give it to her?"
"I'll give it to you."
Li Wanrong was very dissatisfied with the result of the prince's handling: "I love to eat those luxurious meals. If you don't let the kitchen make them for me, what's the point of having you come here?"
At this time, the prince was getting more and more impatient with Li Wanrong, and his heart began to lean towards the sensible He Shulan who was sitting there. Not only was she worry-free, but she was also sensible: "Whose aunt is it that lives such a luxurious life like you? Do you know how much a bear paw costs? If you keep eating like this, you will bankrupt the prince's mansion."
Li Wanrong's chest swelled with anger: "I knew I shouldn't have believed your vows of love. Now you feel bad for spending a little money. Your love for me is all fake."
These naked love words made the old lady and He Shulan blush on the spot. How could they say such words in front of such people?
The prince softened his heart, but the money he had was not enough to make Li Wanrong suffer like this: "Don't be angry, when I earn money, I will buy you whatever you want to eat."
"The money earned by the shop belongs to the Prince's Mansion. Where do you get the money to buy me bear paws?"
The prince didn't know how to respond: "Just bear with it for now, I will find a way." After saying that, the prince took Li Wanrong and prepared to leave.
The old lady stopped him and said, "You guys have finished talking about your business, but mine is not finished yet?"
Taohua, who was standing not far away, handed He Shulan's account book to the prince: "This is the money that Aunt Li spent while managing the kitchen. Take a good look at it yourself."
Li Wanrong had a lot of expenses and ate a lot every day. He did not look closely at what Li Wanrong ate every day, but saw the specific amount of silver owed, which was nearly ten thousand taels. She gasped.
Li Wanrong is such a big eater.
The old lady continued, "Pay back the money Li Wanrong owes you before you leave."
"This..." The prince didn't have so much money on him: "Old Madam, the prince's mansion doesn't lack this little money. Aunt Li has to take care of the store every day, so forget about this little money."
The old lady didn't like Li Wanrong and had no sympathy for her: "It's nearly 10,000 taels of silver. You want me to just let it go? That's impossible. Aunt Li must make up the difference."
The sudden change in style caught Li Wanrong off guard. She came to change the food, but how did the old lady ask her to pay her back?
Where could she get so much money to return to the old lady? Thinking that it was He Shulan who cleaned up the account book, she was so angry that her teeth itched: "These food were not only eaten by me, but also by other people in the mansion, including the princess."
He Shulan was so angry that she laughed: "I have only been married to the Prince's Mansion for more than a month. How could I eat these things? Stop throwing dirty water on me."
Li Wanrong also knew that what she said was a bit forced, but now, she would drag anyone down with her if she could: "Even the old lady ate it."
The old lady felt more and more disgusted with Li Wanrong: "I eat alone, not with you, and don't throw dirty water on me."
"I..." Li Wanrong wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the prince: "I will find a way to pay back the money that Aunt Li spent." After that, he pulled Aunt Li away from the old lady's yard.
He Shulan didn't want to force the prince to pay back the money. The reason she cleared all the accounts was that she didn't want Li Wanrong to continue living such a luxurious life.
After a long time, the Prince's Mansion could not bear it anymore: "Don't ask the Prince to pay back the money."
"How can I not feel bad for my own grandson? Don't underestimate the prince. He has a lot of silver in his treasury. If you don't let him take it out, he will spend it on Li Wanrong. It's better to benefit yourself than to benefit others."
He Shulan didn't expect the old lady to be so mean and laughed out loud with joy.
At this time, Qiu Dong came in with a letter: "Princess, the second young lady sent a letter asking you to go to the mansion tomorrow to attend the banquet."
He Shulan took the invitation and glanced at it calmly. There was nothing written in the invitation. She didn't know why He Shuzhen invited her to the banquet. "Is there any happy event in the Liu Mansion?"
Qiu Dong looked unhappy: "The one who sent the invitation was Xiaoyu, the second young lady's personal maid. She proudly boasted to me that the second young lady was pregnant and specially invited you to go."
He Shulan sneered. He Shuzhen had just gotten pregnant, and she couldn't wait to show off in front of her: "I won't attend the banquet. Give the auspicious dragon and phoenix jade pendant in my small storeroom to the second young lady's personal maid and ask her to take it back to the second young lady."
"Yes."
……
He Shuzhen was lying on a recliner, stroking her flat belly with a smug look on her face.
She couldn't wait to know how unhappy He Shulan's face would be when she found out she was pregnant.
She asked the maidservant beside her: "Xiaoyu has been gone for so long, why hasn't she come back yet?"
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of light rain was heard at the gate of the courtyard.
"The servant is back."
He Shuzhen sat up from the recliner and asked, "How about He Shulan coming to the Liu Mansion banquet tomorrow?"
"The Princess is not coming to the banquet." Xiaoyu handed the red wooden box to He Shuzhen: "This is what the Princess asked me to give you. She asked you to stay at home and take good care of your pregnancy."
He Shuzhen angrily took the mahogany box and opened it. She saw the jade pendant with auspicious patterns of dragon and phoenix inside, which emitted a light green light in the sun. She knew that the jade pendant was worth a lot of silver.
The anger in her heart grew even stronger. Her father was too partial to He Shulan. The dowry he gave her was valuable: "She didn't even come when I personally invited her."
Xiaoyu was afraid that He Shuzhen would vent her anger on her, so she lowered her head in fear and whispered, "Yes."
