After being dressed as an old lady and having her mind read, the capital city went crazy

The national masters in the melodramatic plots are mostly the kind of guys who stab people with a soft knife while smiling. Shen Yunyue has been influenced by seeing so many of them, and she has a filter that thinks Long Yizi is not a good man.

Subconsciously on guard:

"What's the matter?" If you have nothing to do, don't bother me.

"Sir Shen, after all, we are colleagues in the Imperial Observatory." Long Yizi was a little surprised that Shen Yunyue seemed to be more afraid of him.

As soon as these words came out.

Shen Yunyue's alarm bells rang.

"Let's not talk about feelings. It costs money..."

It's not easy to make money.

Who has time to talk to you about the relationship between a colleague who smiles at you on the surface but stabs you in the back?

Can feelings be eaten?

Or can it produce gold?

Long Yizhi smiled helplessly:

"Well, I'm here to give you some silver."

[Are they so kind? I always feel like they are sacrificing their children to trap the wolf.]

Guagua agrees: [To trap an old wolf like you, there is no need to sacrifice the child. ]

She always felt that Gua Gua was scolding her.

Shen Yunyue just had no evidence. She glanced at Long Yizi suspiciously, then set her eyes on the prince.

"Send money?"

The prince whispered:

"Aunt Imperial, the capital is suffering from a snowstorm. The snowstorm outside the city is even more serious. It's the end of the year, and my father has ordered me to take charge of the snowstorm. I heard that Aunt Imperial has a charcoal workshop."

"You want to confiscate the charcoal workshop?"

Shen Yunyue’s first reaction was that the Prince’s Mansion was too poor.

Can't afford a charcoal workshop...

As for the emperor, he enriched his treasury by killing several corrupt officials.

I will cry if I continue.

Years of war have left the national treasury cleaner than its face.

"I want to buy the charcoal from your workshop. How about last year's price?" The prince put his fist to his nose. "You also know that our treasury is empty and we need to buy food for disaster relief."

Shen Yunyue is not very good at small matters, but she still has a kind heart when it comes to major issues concerning the common people.

"Yes, it is possible, but it is just a drop in the bucket."

Shen Yunyue agreed immediately.

This made the prince feel relieved, and Long Yizi also smiled faintly.

"However, why don't you propose donating money for disaster relief, Your Highness?"

Whenever there was a natural disaster in the previous life.

The whole country must be mobilized to donate money, and businessmen must take the lead in donating money and materials.

Applicable to any dynasty.

It's time for those wealthy families, great scholars and officials to give some money and food.

The prince shook his head bitterly.

"What the Queen said is very true, but the ministers in our court can only complain bitterly."

Long Yizhi followed suit:

"Last year, a dragon turned upside down in the southwest, causing countless casualties. The ministers in the court raised 5,000 taels of silver, but those old ministers cried for several days."

"The flood in Jiangnan two years ago only cost a few hundred taels of silver."

"Further ahead, there was a severe drought in the northwest. The emperor had blisters on his mouth, and those old ministers only raised more than 8,000 taels of silver. That's it... At the end of the year, several ministers wanted more food."

"Every time we ask everyone to raise funds, we ask Governor Ling to supervise. Even so, the ministers in the court would rather bang their heads against the pillars than come up with money."

Shen Yunyue was shocked by the shamelessness of these ministers.

It's so strange to be so stingy.

"Really that poor?"

Long Yizhi shook his head and said, "I don't know whether they are poor or not. Anyway, when I roll up my sleeves, my clothes are all patched."

"Send someone to check the mansion, the food is surprisingly bland."

Shen Yunyue looked down on him.

[If these old foxes are really so poor, why would they bother to become officials? ]

[If you don't serve the people, you might as well go home and grow sweet potatoes. ]

As soon as Shen Yunyue expressed her thoughts, the prince wanted to applaud to show his agreement.

"Aunt, I'll go and make a suggestion to my father." The prince rolled his eyes and couldn't help but say, "My father told Aunt to remember to go to court tomorrow."

Shen Yunyue rolled her eyes silently.

"Your Highness, I only attend court once every three days."

[There is no overtime pay, you want to tire me to death. 】

Long Yizhi understood the prince's thoughts and smiled:

"It's the end of the year. There may be some things to discuss regarding the division of land."

Job division of land?

Shen Yunyue's eyes lit up, "Okay then. I will definitely go there early tomorrow."

She asked someone to call Butler Hu.

Instruct Manager Hu that all the charcoal in the charcoal workshop should be handed over to the person sent by the prince, and record the charcoal produced. Then the money will be settled with the prince.

Manager Hu bowed, responded, and left.

He Mingce's mind moved, but he didn't dare to ask He Mingyu to leave.

Just pretend to ask casually:

"Mom, someone from the He family just came and said they were sending Mingyu's things."

Long Yizi and the prince looked at each other.

See the gossip in the other person's eyes.

The two wanted to get up and leave, but they picked up the cups, leisurely opened the lids and gently stirred the tea foam in the cups.

Shen Yunyue cursed in her heart:

[The He family is really nothing. They have done so many immoral things and they still want to provoke my Mingyu.]

"Send it here. Send someone to count Mingyu's dowry."

Shen Yunyue doesn't care.

In her eyes, the children have a cooperative relationship with her.

There was really no need for her to treat her married daughter badly for the sake of her son.

He Mingyu also lives near the palace.

After the divorce, she was naturally given a monthly allowance and allowed to stay here just like before she got married.

He Mingce suppressed the unhappiness in his eyes.

He probably understood what Shen Yunyue meant. "Mom, it's not a good idea to count the dowry now. There will always be conflicts between husband and wife. If my parents intervene, it will cause outsiders to talk."

"What outsiders say will affect my mother's good reputation."

Shen Yunyue frowned, "When did I have a good reputation? This thing is just like the Virgin Mary Code, it will kill you if you get caught in the neck."

Long Yizi held back his laughter. She had a clear positioning.

The prince pursed his lips and drank his tea calmly.

[What a joke! I am a very good old lady. How can I change everyone's opinion of me overnight?]

[My personality is to do whatever I want and be selfish. This personality is suitable for me to live an immoral life. ]

Guagua is very gossipy.

[Prince Li was persuaded by Princess Li and he didn't like Miss Mingyu coming back.]

[If they don't like it, they can move out. They are all my adopted children, so I don't have to favor one over the other.]

There was bitterness on He Mingce's face.

"Mother, but we are far from the palace..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Shen Yunyue.

"I'm not someone who cares about reputation. That old man Rongning ruined Mingyu's life with a bowl of herbal medicine. Do you still have the heart to let Mingyu stay there?"

"Mingyu has been ill for the past two days. There is not even a charcoal fire in the house. Not to mention calling a doctor or asking for medicine."

She had clearly said something about Mingyu. He Mingce actually had the nerve to say that it was embarrassing.

"what?"

He Mingce stood up suddenly, "How dare the He family?"

The prince also looked up in surprise.

"If Mingyu's family doesn't support her, wouldn't that make people look down on the Li Palace even more?"

Jiu Niang at the side couldn't help but speak:

"It's even worse. The child raised under Miss Mingyu's name is the bastard born by my brother-in-law and the prostitute on the boat of Changle Book House."

It's like thunder rolling in the sky.

He Mingce's face turned red, as if he had been slapped twice.

His face was full of colors, "Mom, it's my fault for not caring about Mingyu."

"That's good to know. Not to mention your dereliction of duty as the eldest brother, you should at least provide a support for your younger brothers and sisters." Shen Yunyue knew that He Mingce had his own little thoughts.

Since you have inherited the title of Prince Li.

You must bear the corresponding responsibilities.

"My mother taught me."

He Mingce was secretly annoyed and angry at himself for forgetting what happened before.

I was even more annoyed with Wen Jian.

"You should go back. The second and third sons' families are distributing porridge in the west of the city. As brothers and sisters-in-law, you should set an example."

In front of the prince and Long Yizi.

Shen Yunyue didn't give He Mingce any face at all.

He Mingce paused for a moment and said, "I'll go right away."

He stood up and saluted the prince and Long Yizi, then left with staggering steps.

Wait until he leaves.

Shen Yunyue then turned around.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Long."

The prince laughed and said:

"You are too kind, Auntie."

"Does the He family really bully people like this?"

"Lord He said he would give an explanation to Prince Li's Mansion, so I naturally believed him." Shen Yunyue added: "The two families are in-laws, so how can I not give the He family some time."

She was giving Lord He time to deal with Rong Ning.

If Lord He is lenient, don't blame her for being cruel.

The prince paused slightly.

After a moment of silence, he spoke:

"If the Imperial Aunt needs me, feel free to send someone to the East Palace to find me."

"As for the He family, if you want to divorce, that's fine. He Mingyu is the daughter of the Li Palace, how can she raise a bastard born by a boat prostitute?"

Long Yizi frowned.

He Desheng's mind was on the wine and women at Changle Book House.

Anyone with a brain would not do such a thing.

"He Desheng went crazy and degraded himself for love without regard for the consequences. There is no need for him to hold an official position."

Long Yizhi looked a little unhappy. "How dare you be so unscrupulous as to harm a girl from a good family? I think Lord He is also to blame for not teaching his son well."

[The He family should be unlucky. For a woman, there is a big difference between whether or not to give birth and whether or not to give birth.]

Guagua echoed:

[Those little guys from the He family will help the bad guys deal with Da Zhou in the future.]

The prince's head hurts.

The He family...are you tired of living?

[What's the point of Miss Mingyu raising them with all her efforts? ]

Ever since the points in the melon-eating system have increased, the melons have become smarter and more capable.

[Xue Yingying was jealous of Miss Mingyu's innocent background. She fed her medicine every day and sent her to the beggars' den in the north of the city. She made Miss Mingyu serve those beggars.]

[It’s a pity that at that time, not even an ant was left in the Li Palace. No one stood up for Miss Mingyu.]

Shen Yunyue's heart was shocked.

【Guagua, why didn’t you tell me? 】

She should have beaten He Desheng to death on the spot.

Guagua's embarrassed explanation:

[My ability is all based on the points earned from eating melons. The new system is not smart enough at first, so please accept it. Of course, the host's objection is invalid.]

[The right of interpretation belongs to this Guagua. 】
