After rebirth, the scumbag prince only wants to pamper his wife every day

Chapter 246 Compensation [No chapters today ~ 4000 words +]

By the time the loss calculation for Guyue Pavilion was completed, it was already dusk.

Yun Shu copied the calculated list several times and handed it to several people one by one, letting them negotiate the shares.

Shen Guidi smiled and stretched out her hand towards Yun Shu.

Yunshu understood.

She immediately handed the prepared IOU to Shen Guidi.

Shen Guidi took it, looked at it carefully, confirmed that there was no problem, and returned it to Yun Shu, indicating that she should send it to those people.

Look at the amount on the list.

Several adults, including marquises, princesses and so on, suddenly saw darkness before their eyes.

They knew the amount was huge, but they didn't expect it to be this big!

I originally thought that there were quite a few people here and if we divided it up, it wouldn't be much.

Little did she know that, in addition to the basic compensation such as damage to jewelry and repair of the shop, the list also included countless items of compensation. For example, Concubine Rou's hairpin and ruby ​​alone were worth a thousand gold.

There was a thick stack of lists, which made them dizzy.

But we have to admit that their arguments are well-reasoned and there is no chance of veto at all.

Even though they have a wealthy family, they can't stand such ordeal!

Shen Guidi smiled as she looked at the court officials, princesses, governors and other young ladies sitting opposite her.

There is a hint of confrontation between the two sides.

But if you look closely, you can see that Shen Guidi is clearly in a superior position and is dominating the development of the whole thing.

At first, those who received the orders had already gathered here.

They are all the ones who are in charge of the mansion.

Even so, seeing such a huge amount of money, they all looked at each other, totally not knowing how to deal with it.

Shen Guidi was kind enough to give them a suggestion.

"Everyone, the matter of Gu Yue Pavilion involves a huge amount of money. This princess has said in advance that you can discuss the amount of compensation on your own and divide it into different cases. If you are unsure, this princess doesn't mind and will tell you a solution."

"What method?"

"Just divide it up like this, Zhao and Wei will each get 30%, Jiang and Qi will each get 1.50%. As for the remaining 10%, Gu Yue Pavilion will pay for it, just consider it as a favor to you all."

The 'Wei family' she mentioned was the father's family of the eldest princess' husband.

Everyone had different expressions and was not satisfied with this distribution plan.

They started arguing and talking at the same time, which gave Shen Guidi a headache.

He Qingchen hugged her, stared at her with hawk-like eyes, and then coughed unexpectedly.

The noisy voices of the crowd were silenced by his low voice.

He Qingchen curled his lips in satisfaction, turned sideways to Shen Guidi, his eyes full of complacency and pride.

Shen Guidi felt amused.

She reached out and scratched his palm.

The tingling feeling made He Qingchen's heart wander, and his eyes gradually became a little dull.

Shen Guidi saw it.

Her face flushed slightly, and she immediately pinched his thigh quietly, glared at him with a fake smile, and tried hard to adjust her state.

"Do you think this division is wrong? The mastermind behind this matter is the master of the Zhao family. This princess has no grudge against him. He took the initiative to come to my house and cause trouble, smashing my shop, so he must take the lion's share.

Princess Qingyao listened to the instigation of the young ladies from the Jiang and Qi families and acted impulsively.

In theory, you shouldn't be responsible for such a large share.

But the young ladies of Jiang and Qi were responsible for instigating the incident. The princess herself did not distinguish right from wrong, believed in slander, and acted impulsively. She should bear some responsibility among the three of them.

And that's not all.

Princess Qingyao, as a princess of the royal family, made a scene at Guyue Pavilion. I won't say whose reputation was damaged.

But the princess personally led people to cooperate with Mr. Zhao's plan to smash and destroy Guyue Pavilion. The princess did not distinguish right from wrong first, and then smashed and caused trouble. She has an unshirkable responsibility for both.

Guyue Pavilion was innocent in this matter.

If I have to take responsibility, it is that I did not give timely advice and stopped the noble man from falling into the trap that had been designed long ago.

It was also because of my mismanagement. I didn't arrange a few more capable people to look after Guyue Pavilion, so they could only passively watch Guyue Pavilion being almost completely destroyed.

If this princess had arrived later, I'm afraid that Guyue Pavilion might not even be able to save the outer wall of the shop.

Gu Yue Pavilion and this princess have both acknowledged this.

This princess does not want to argue and will take 10%. I think the lords, princesses, marquises, and princesses will agree with it, right?

As for the two Miss Jiang Qi.

Since they instigated the princess, they should bear their own responsibilities. This division is fair and just. What do you think?"

Shen Guidi smiled.

He said it very seriously.

She did not include the Lin family in the calculation, but she would ask for her share from them.

Outsiders didn't know why Zhao Hongjun suddenly got into trouble with Prince Yan's Mansion, but Shen Guidi guessed it.

According to their investigation, someone passed the message to Zhao Hongjun.

Based on some clues in the news, which might have been forged, Zhao Hongjun concluded that what happened on his wedding day was related to Prince Yan's Mansion.

Even, it's related to her.

He didn't dare to touch the Prince of Yan's Mansion easily.

He was able to move the Princess of Yan, who had no background and was not despised by her own family.

Who gave him the message?

This person standing in the dark, she didn’t think of anyone other than Lin Huaian’s good wife.

Only Madam Lin would be stupid enough to use Lin Churan's whereabouts and the presence of outsiders around her to harm her.

Shen Guidi thought so.

She didn't mind Mrs. Lin doing something similar a few more times.

Every time, she would be given a lot of silver and good things. This was the case with the dowry, the replacement of the legitimate daughter in marriage, and even now, when the marriage between the Lin and Zhao families was used as an excuse to destroy the Guyue Pavilion, it was the same.

Unexpectedly, Lin Qi is quite lucky.

Shen Guidi thought secretly.

at that time.

I listened to Shen Guidi's well-reasoned analysis.

Even the eldest princess, who had always looked down on her, had to look at her differently now.

long silence.

She personally agreed to the method proposed by Shen Guidi: "Okay, after returning home, I will personally arrange for someone to deliver the things."

The eldest princess responded to this, undoubtedly agreeing with the method proposed by Shen Guidi.

With her taking the lead, the others had no choice but to accept it.

The Jiang family is an old aristocratic family in the capital, and they value reputation the most.

Although the loss of Guyue Pavilion was huge, the Jiang family only contributed 1.5% of the share, so it was not enough to cause them any serious damage.

The Zhao and Qi families were different.

Zhao Qi and others are from a new aristocratic family in the capital, and their family wealth only started to grow several generations ago.

The Zhao family's development was mediocre, but they had a concubine who could make money to support them.

But the Qi family is not like that.

None of the Qi clan members were good at business, and their so-called family business had long been almost completely ruined.

In the early years, it was the empresses in the palace who supported the country.

Later, with the emergence of Lin Huaian, who was bent on climbing up the social ladder, all of Shen's wealth fell into Lin Huaian's hands.

For this reason, the Lin family paid a lot of tribute to the Qi family.

Counting everything inside and out.

It can be said.

The Qi family's prosperity over the past decade was all due to sucking the blood of the Lin family.

The Lin family has achieved its current status by sucking the blood of the Shen family.

Who would have thought that after going around in circles, we would end up back with Shen Guidi and even the Shen family?

Qi Heng was unwilling and hesitated to respond.

Also not responding like him were the two brothers of the Zhao family.

The head of the Zhao family is Zhao Hongqin, the younger brother of Zhao Hongjun.

He lived up to his family's expectations and successfully passed the imperial examination to become an official. He slowly persevered over many years and finally reached his current position as Shangshu.

Even better than the first patriarch of the Zhao family who made his fortune.

However, these are all illusions.

Although the Zhao family was not in dire straits, they still supported each other with Qi Heng.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, Shen Guidi did not pay much attention to them.

It doesn’t matter whether you should or not.

The Qi and Zhao families will figure out what is more important.

"Yun Shu, in a moment, you will fill in the amounts on the IOUs and put your fingerprints on them. When the items are delivered, you can personally deliver the IOUs to the Princess's Mansion and Marquis Jiang's Mansion."

"Yes."

It seems that we are almost done with the work.

He Qingchen glanced at them, gave a few instructions casually, and then took Shen Guidi back to the palace.

The people left behind looked at each other in bewilderment.

For a long time.

The eldest princess took the initiative to propose taking Princess Qingyao back home, which broke the peace of the crowd.

**

In the palace of Prince Yan.

Shen Guidi fell asleep before he even reached the palace.

He Qingchen carefully carried her down from the carriage, carried her all the way back to the yard, and put her on the bed.

She just grunted and turned over to continue sleeping.

He Qingchen sat beside the bed and looked at her for a long time.

After a while.

Not knowing what he was thinking of, he walked out quietly and closed the door lightly.

"Go prepare some fish porridge."

He Qingchen whispered instructions to Chunlan on the corridor.

After Chunlan left, He Qingchen thought for a while, walked a few steps into the side room, and then felt something was wrong.

So he said to the servant beside him, "Go and call Youbai to the pavilion outside the yard and tell her that I have something to ask her."

Upon hearing this, the servant immediately trotted over.

He Qingchen walked out of the yard slowly and firmly and went to the pavilion on the lake outside the yard.

the other side.

Youbai was surprised when he heard the message from the servant.

She glanced at Yunshu, then pointed at herself and asked uncertainly, "Are you sure that the prince only called me over, and not me and Yunshu, both of us?"

"Yes, the prince only mentioned you and said he was waiting for you in the pavilion outside. Would you like to hurry up?"

The servant pursed his lips and urged in a low voice.

Yun Shu frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking.

Youbai was heartless, and gently reminded Yunshu who was obviously overthinking: "Okay, I'll go for a while, Senior Sister, dinner will be here in a while, you can eat first, you don't have to wait for me."

After a while.

The servant brought Youbai to the pavilion.

At that time,.

He Qingchen was standing on the railing by the lake with his back to her, looking a little lonely and desolate.

Hearing footsteps, he slowly turned around: "Are you here?"

"My lord, do you have something to do with me?"

He Qingchen nodded: "Yes, something happened."

As he spoke, he winked at the guards beside him.

The guards tactfully stepped forward a little, making sure they wouldn't hear the conversation between the two, and also making sure that no scoundrels would take the opportunity to eavesdrop.

Xiaobai glanced around vigilantly.

As it was late at night, there were not many people around the lake, making it seem a bit quiet and cold.

She was not afraid, but confused.

He Qingchen didn't keep her in suspense and asked directly: "On the eve of Zhao Hongjun's wedding, someone broke into the Zhao family and gave Zhao Hongjun a lesson. The next day, the Zhao family followed his wishes, stopped the dowry, refused to let the bride in, and delayed the wedding banquet. Did you mess with this?"

This question scared Youbai.

She pursed her lips and pretended to be stupid, "Your Highness, you are joking. How can I be so capable? I broke into the Zhao family at night and taught Mr. Zhao a lesson? Can I fly?"

He Qingchen narrowed his eyes.

"You probably can't fly, but you know the art of taming wolves, right? Your martial arts skills are also okay. Since you have all these abilities, you must have a way to break into the Zhao family at night, right?"

When Youbai heard him mention the 'art of taming wolves', his heart began to tighten.

Her breathing suddenly stopped.

A moment.

He immediately adjusted his mood to prevent He Qingchen from noticing anything unusual.

What she can do and what she has done are all their business. Why is this dog prince investigating these things when he is fine?

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty, I don't know what you are talking about. If you are only looking for me for the Zhao family's affairs, then I have nothing to say."

"It's for the Zhao family, and also for your senior sister."

He Qingchen deliberately emphasized the last sentence, and deepened his tone at the word "senior sister".

Youbai's breathing stagnated.

She clearly understood which 'senior sister' He Qingchen was referring to.

"You, how do you know, she is our senior sister." She looked nervous, and had almost forgotten that she had accidentally called her by this name in their daily interactions.

"You said it yourself, and Ah Di also admitted that you were the disciple adopted by her uncle. You have been with Ah Di since you were a child. Therefore, after entering the capital and living in the palace, Ah Di directly called you sisters."

He Qingchen explained patiently, deliberately guiding her to think about Shen Guidi and his position and situation.

Hint to her that your senior sister has been honest, so there is no need for you to hide anything.

After hearing this, Youbai fell silent.

half an hour.

She raised her eyes and saw He Qingchen seemed to be waiting for her to say something.

She tilted her head, thought for a moment, and replied with an "Oh".

"..."

He Qingchen was almost laughing out of anger.

Could it be that he deliberately said such a long string of words, but she didn't hear a word of it?

"My Lord, is there anything else?"

"..."

He Qingchen was speechless.

He pursed his lips, stared at Youbai, and said nothing.

Youbai waited for a while.

Seeing that he said nothing, she simply bowed and turned to leave.

He Qingchen was so angry that he laughed. He suddenly said, "Stop!"

A hint of impatience flashed across Youbai's eyes. He turned around and stood there quietly, waiting for He Qingchen's next words.

“Today, the Zhao family has never had any dealings with our Prince Yan’s Mansion, and Zhao Hongjun doesn’t even know the princess. However, he has stirred up trouble for Guyue Pavilion today, planning to smash Guyue Pavilion with Princess Qingyao. Don’t you think about why he did this?

It can be said that the princess was instigated by the two men in Jiang Qi’s mansion, but what about the master of the Zhao family?

Why do you think he did that?

Since he had risked everything to destroy Guyue Pavilion, why did he remain silent when I asked him about it and the princess and the others forced the Zhao family to pay the amount of compensation on the bill? Who instigated him?

Or something else?"
