After being reborn with Sister Zha, I was stunned!

Shen Rongyue started to cry: "I'm sorry, Master... It was because I didn't find anyone in Fangcao Courtyard at that time, and I was too worried about the safety of the Master, so I took people to Mingyue Pavilion next door... I swear to God, I really didn't know that the Master was on the couch with Yinxin..."

"If I had known, I would never have let anyone else in... Wuwuwu, my lord, please understand, I didn't mean it..."

Shen Rongyue cried helplessly, feeling sad and aggrieved.

Qin Yueze was not moved at all.

Whether it was intentional or not, it doesn't matter.

The important thing is that he can’t get back the face he lost!

"Mother, please help me drive her out of the palace. I don't want to see her again!" Qin Yueze turned his head away, regretting in his heart that he had believed Shen Rongyue's lies.

Princess Kang immediately turned around and called two old maids: "Kick Shen out of the palace!

Upon hearing this, Shen Rongyue knelt down again in a hurry, enduring the pain in her knees.

"Princess, calm down. Prince, calm down. I entered the palace to be the prince's concubine, but everyone in the capital knows it. If you drive me out, it doesn't matter that I am lowly, but I am afraid..."

"I'm afraid that everyone will say bad things about the Crown Prince and Prince Kang's Mansion behind their backs... Then I will be guilty of a great sin..."

Princess Kang's face froze and she began to hesitate.

Although this statement sounds hypocritical, it is not without reason.

Prince Kang pondered for a moment and looked at Qin Yueze: "Ze'er, no matter what happened to Shen, she saved your life after all. In your father's opinion, why not give her another chance."

Qin Yueze gritted his teeth in anger, but he knew in his heart that his father said this because he had the overall situation in mind.

Even if Shen Rongyue was a bitch in everyone's eyes, she was still Qin Yueze's savior, and that was difficult to change.

If we insist on kicking her out, it might affect the reputation of the palace...

"Forget it, then I will demote her to a concubine, confine her to the yard, and keep her under guard. She is not allowed to go out without my permission." Qin Yueze made the difficult decision.

Shen Rongyue wanted to say more, but Princess Kang did not give her a chance.

He gave a look to the two old maids, and they gagged Shen Rongyue and dragged her out.

Soon, Shen Rongyue was thrown into her own yard and the door was locked from the outside.

The pain in her knees made her unable to stand up, so she just sat down on the ground.

Several servants in the yard came hurriedly to help her up, but she couldn't get up.

Thinking that she had been transformed from a concubine to a concubine and would be confined here in the future, she couldn't help feeling sad.

She had planned it all well, but she didn't expect it to turn out like this.

No matter how I thought about it, I felt unwilling, but I was helpless and couldn't help crying.

As I was crying, I heard someone knocking on the door.

Shen Rongyue stopped crying with a start and motioned the old woman beside her to go and check.

The old woman looked through the crack in the door and replied, "Miss, it's Mrs. Zhu who is sweeping the floor."

Shen Rongyue forced herself to stand up and moved to the crack in the door.

Normally, when someone from the Shen family came, they would ask Mrs. Zhu to pass on a message.

"Ms. Shen, Madam Zhang is waiting for you at the west corner gate. She wants a pair of celadon vases as a dowry." Mrs. Zhu said.

Shen Rongyue frowned: "What do you want the vase for?"

"The old woman didn't know, and she didn't tell me. She just said that the master and the mistress needed it urgently."

Hearing that there was an urgent need, Shen Rongyue stopped asking.

But I really can't bear to let go.

She is now living in the palace and her expenses are really high.

Eating costs money, bathing costs money, getting news costs money, and sending messages costs money... Even the birthday gift I prepared for the old lady yesterday... was also spent on her money...

The monthly allowance from the palace was only five taels of silver...

The two thousand taels of dowry in her hand seemed like a lot, but after only being in the mansion for a short time, two or three hundred taels had already been spent!

Although the shop that my mother brought as a dowry was doing relatively stable business, the income of a dozen taels a month was not enough to support us.

Judging from the current situation, we will have to sell some things in the future.

Among all her dowry, the most valuable item was this pair of celadon vases. Not only were they made by a famous craftsman, they were also once used by the emperor and were her most treasured treasures.

My father and mother also want to take it away?

Shen Rongyue felt resentful in her heart, but her parents had already sent someone to take it, so she couldn't refuse.

But how to send it out?

The courtyard gate was locked from the outside, and the gap in the door was not big enough, so the bottle could not be stuffed out.

Besides, she was worried about leaving such a precious item in the hands of this old woman who was just cleaning the house without anyone following her...

Mrs. Zhu saw through her thoughts at a glance.

She smiled and said, "If you are worried that you can't get the bottle out, I have a way. If you are still worried about handing the things over to me, you can send someone to go to the west corner gate with me, but..."

Shen Rongyue understood exactly what Mrs. Zhu meant; she just wanted money.

Shen Rongyue nodded to show that she understood.

Then he told the old woman beside him to go back to the house and get the vase and his purse.

He took out a piece of silver from his purse, stuffed it through the crack in the door, and waited for Mrs. Zhu to continue her arrangements.

But Mrs. Zhu took the silver but said nothing and turned around to leave.

"Mrs. Zhu, wait! What are you doing?" Shen Rongyue called her.

Mrs. Zhu turned around and curled her lips: "What you gave me is only enough for me to pass on a message. I can't control anything else."

It turns out that they thought it was too little!

Shen Rongyue was so angry that she cursed in her heart.

The piece of silver she gave weighed at least two cents, so how could it be too little?

At first, it only cost three or five cents to let this old woman pass on a message, and later it increased to ten cents, twenty cents, fifty cents... Now, even two cents is considered too little?

Not only this old woman, but also the other maids, anyone who needed to use them, all had their prices raised.

They are really spoiled beyond their limits!

But no matter how angry I was, I couldn't do anything about them.

Especially this old woman Zhu, who was in charge of sweeping the area from the west corner gate to her yard. Whenever someone from the Shen family came, they would not report to the main gate, so they still had to rely on this old woman to pass on the message...

Shen Rongyue reluctantly took out another piece of silver, which was larger than the previous one, about three cents, and handed it to Mrs. Zhu.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zhu still thought it was too little.

He made a bunch of excuses, saying that it was too dangerous to carry the items with him, and that he couldn't afford it if the princess found out, etc.

Shen Rongyue had no choice but to harden her heart and took out a silver ingot weighing one tael and handed it to her. Only then did the old woman finally smile.

"Can we open the door now?" Shen Rongyue asked.

Mrs. Zhu glared: "Who said I wanted to open the door? I don't have a key, what can I use to open it?"

Shen Rongyue was anxious: "Then, how do we get out?"

If I can’t open the door, wouldn’t all that money have been given away in vain?

"Don't be anxious, listen to me!" Mrs. Zhu looked mysterious.

"You will soon understand how worthwhile your money is today!"
