The princess is rebellious and brings space to make trouble for the villain

Chapter 106 Feeling like old friends at first sight

Zhou Yihuan watched her parents walk away, then she breathed a sigh of relief. She slowly stood up, reached out her hand and pulled Fang Shiwan up.

"Wan'er, it was a close call. They are all gone. You don't know, every time grandparents and dad talked about you and aunt, they were all worried. I was scared to death."

Zhou Yihuan patted his chest.

Fang Shiwan looked at the unrestrained Zhou Yihuan and felt inexplicably close to her. This must be the wonder of blood.

"Cousin, does grandma talk about this often?"

"That's right. When my grandmother talks about sadness, she will cry. We can't do anything about it. She said that it was she who harmed my aunt, but I heard from my father that my aunt was determined to get married back then."

"I heard that my aunt had a lover back then, and they were originally in love with each other, but after the man's family was exiled, my aunt was sad for a long time, until your father appeared and healed your mother's sadness, she came out of the darkness and married your father."

"Cousin, who is my mother's favorite?"

After hearing her question, Zhou Yihuan ordered the servants to leave, and then whispered to Fang Shiwan, "I heard that he was the legitimate son of the Minister of Revenue sixteen years ago."

"The Minister of Revenue?" Fang Shiwan was a little surprised. In other words, sixteen years ago, the person her mother first liked was the son of the Minister of Revenue? It was after that man was exiled that his father became the latecomer.

Zhou Yihuan added: "I heard that it was because he embezzled money that the whole family was exiled. At that time, the reputation of the Minister of Revenue was very good, and the emperor did not believe it. If the banknotes had not been found in his home, the emperor would not have made any decision at all."

"How much silver was there?"

After hearing this, Zhou Yihuan shook his head and said, "That's all I've heard. As for the rest, I don't know."

As if he had thought of something, Zhou Yihuan then took Fang Shiwan's hand with a serious face.

"Wan'er, let me tell you, those concubines in your house are not good people. You should stay away from them. If necessary, don't stay with them."

"Why?"

Fang Shiwan suddenly felt that her cousin knew a lot, but the more she knew, the better it would be for her.

"They don't look like good people, especially Fang Zhirou, who has a foxy look on her face. She always seems to be in need of men wherever she goes. Although the Third Miss is not as blatant as her, she is just as bad."

"Now that the Shangshu Mansion has been robbed, if your father and grandfather give you money, they will definitely have their eyes on you. You and your mother had better put all the money in the bank, so that they won't worry about it day and night and you won't be able to sleep well."

When Zhou Yihuan talked about them, she looked displeased and held Fang Shiwan's hand tighter.

"Thank you, cousin. You told me so much the first time we met."

Fang Shiwan was truly grateful to the cousin in front of him and he really liked her.

From the time she traveled through time until now, everyone wanted only to take things from her, except her cousin who asked her to hide the silver.

"What are you talking about? You are my only cousin. Even though this is the first time we meet, we feel like old friends. I like you very much." Zhou Yihuan smiled.

The two sisters smiled at each other.

Imperial Palace, Imperial Study Room.

The emperor sat on the dragon throne, looking down at the letter in his hand. If it weren't for the crumpled paper, one would never be able to tell how angry he was at the moment.

Mo Qitian stood in front of the desk. He had already guessed his father's reaction.

Ever since Wan'er mentioned the pension issue five years ago, he went to check it out as soon as possible.

On the fifteenth day, the prince thought that the poison would take effect, so he deliberately let the prince take advantage of the opportunity, and then secretly competed with his people, and then went to the edge of Luzhou City. In this way, he could cover up his actions of secretly investigating these things.

As early as after Ye Feng said that this matter had a huge impact and was indeed suspicious, he secretly arranged people.

After many days of secret investigation and the reports given to him by his people over there, what was presented to him now was a list of actual money that had reached the families of the dead soldiers.

It is understandable that my father is so angry.

"Tian'er, who else knows about this?"

"Father, I am the only one who knows about this. A few days ago, I overheard a commoner who came to the imperial city to make a living saying that his family member died in the battlefield at the border of Luzhou City five years ago, but the pension has not been paid yet. I couldn't bear it, so I went to check."

The emperor raised his stern eyes and said, "Back then, I gave each soldier a hundred taels of silver, but now they only have twenty taels? There are only five hundred people on this list?"

"Father calm down!"

He slammed his hand on the table and said, "How can I calm down? I asked the prince to do this, and he did this?"

"Father, we don't know how many officials these silver coins passed through during the five years. Moreover, some positions have been replaced in five years. Besides, this is a consolation fund for the soldiers. As the crown prince, you dare not have such an idea."

"boom!"

The emperor was so angry that he threw the tea on the table to the ground. "The crown prince of a country? I assigned him such an important task because I valued him. Now five years have passed, and something like this has happened. How will the families of those soldiers view the court? How can I govern this world?"

Mo Qitian lowered his head and said, "Father, please calm down. The most important thing now is to recount the number of soldiers who died that year, then find their families and return the remaining silver to them. We also need them to accept it without resentment, and then we can investigate what happened that year."

"Father, the soldiers are the soul of the Qian Dynasty. Without the soldiers' day and night protection, we would not have such a peaceful life. If we don't comfort the soldiers' families, who will be willing to serve our Qian Dynasty?"

The emperor calmed down and waved his hand for Mo Qitian to sit down.

"You're right. This matter is of great importance. Who do you think is suitable to do it?"

"Father, you sent the Crown Prince to handle this matter. Now that something went wrong, the Crown Prince must not know about it. I think it is better to let the Crown Prince go. Otherwise, the people will really think that the Crown Prince is corrupt. As the crown prince, the Crown Prince should not have these bad public opinions."

The emperor tapped his fingers on the desk for a long time, as if he was thinking.

a long time.

"Then let the prince go."

Mo Qitian curled his lips and smiled.

"What do you think of the funding issue I mentioned in the court a few days ago?"

"Father, I think the way you proposed to allocate funds is excellent."

The emperor became interested after hearing this. The prince said that his way was wrong, but this son thought his way was reasonable. He wanted to hear where he was right.

"How to say?"

"Father, if each region is evenly distributed, it will be enough to let the people see that you treat them all equally, and will not cause dissatisfaction among the people and officials due to the prosperity of a region. On this basis, why not add another countermeasure?"

"What countermeasure?"
