"divorce your wife?"

Qin Yaoguang looked at him, his eyes slightly fixed: "For Su Diya, you want to divorce your first wife?"

Wan Hong nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes, Your Highness believes me."

Afraid that she wouldn't believe him, he raised his finger as if swearing: "I..."

"boom!"

Qin Yaoguang lifted up the boxwood paperweight on the table and slammed it, interrupting his next words.

"Wan Hong, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"He is powerless to control his harem, and is cowardly and incompetent. When questioned, he only knows how to shirk responsibility and flatter."

She looked at Wan Hong with sharp eyes.

"With such a character, how can you be an official appointed by the court? And how can you be worthy of your wife who takes care of the household chores and takes care of your parents and raises your children?"

Anyone who marries such a heartless and ungrateful man will be unlucky for the rest of her life!

Qin Yaoguang felt contempt in his heart.

If he wasn't still useful, why would she be here, wasting her time talking to him?

Under her series of questions, Wan Hong was speechless.

He finally realized that his flattery had hit the wrong horse.

"I was wrong. Please forgive me, Your Highness!"

Wan Hong's legs were trembling and he couldn't help wanting to kneel down, but he was concerned about Qin Yaoguang's previous words and supported his body with bent knees.

"Your Highness, Your Highness..."

He begged, "It's all my fault. I accept the punishment. Please have mercy, Your Highness!"

Wan Hong was completely panicked and didn't know what to do to satisfy the princess.

He was a child of a family and had been an official for so many years. He had finally climbed to the fifth rank. Wouldn't it be unfair if he were to be demoted to his original position because of a word from the princess?

You should know that in the official assessment mechanism of the Dajing Dynasty, personal morality is also part of the assessment.

Seeing that Qin Yaoguang remained unmoved, he suddenly had an idea: "Your subordinate, I will listen to your Highness! I will do whatever the princess tells me to do!"

After hearing what he said, Qin Yaoguang's expression finally eased.

"Mr. Wan Si, I am not asking you to divorce your wife."

Wan Hong listened attentively, not daring to make a sound.

"Tell your wife to take the gifts to the Honglu Temple and apologize to the interpreter Su in public."

Qin Yaoguang said in a serious tone: "From now on, establish a good relationship with Su Yiguan, visit him often, and never be disrespectful in your words and attitude."

Is that all?

Wan Hong let out a breath that had reached his throat, and suddenly relaxed.

It was so easy for him!

"Okay, okay, please rest assured, Your Highness. I will definitely do it."

Qin Yaoguang narrowed her eyes and said slowly, "If there is anything that makes Su Yiguan unhappy, no matter who it is, I will only ask you for help."

"what?"

Wan Hong was completely stunned, and asked tremblingly: "Then...if someone else who has nothing to do with it angers Su Yiguan, will it be blamed on me?"

Qin Yao glanced at him and said, "What else?"

"Ah... yes, I obey your command."

He felt secretly bitter in his heart.

If he had known this earlier, he would not have rushed up to Sudiya when he saw her in the Honglu Temple.

Thinking that she could now enjoy the shade of the Princess's Mansion, and relying on the brief romance they had once had, she leaned against it.

Who knew it would end up like this?

Thinking of his wife at home, he had to go back and coax her well at night.

No matter what, the princess didn't lose her temper in front of everyone today, which was already giving him face. He couldn't help but appreciate it.

After wiping off the cold sweat from his forehead, he wanted to respectfully see the princess off.

Unexpectedly, Qin Yaoguang sat calmly and asked, "Where is the account book?"

"Account...account book?"

For a moment, Wan Hong didn't react.

Isn’t the so-called verification of rice for disaster relief during the snowstorm just an excuse?

Since the princess wants to watch it, then let her watch it!

He was startled and replied repeatedly: "Yes, I will get it right away."

During the hail and snow disasters, not only the Princess's Mansion, but also many wealthy families in the capital city contributed.

The Taifu Temple was in charge of all the storage in the country. All the relief grain was registered and recorded by them, and then the affected prefectures would withdraw it nearby and distribute it according to the number of affected people counted.

Families that have the energy to provide disaster relief during a disaster are either rich or noble.

The Taifu Temple could not afford to offend any of them, so they kept separate registers for easy accounting later.

Qin Yaoguang said in a deep voice: "Wait a minute. I want to see all the disaster relief accounts."

"All... all?"

Wan Hong was tongue-tied and looked at her in surprise.

"Yes."

Qin Yaoguang said calmly: "Why, is it not possible?"

After knowing Wan Hong's identity, she came up with a plan to kill two birds with one stone.

Not only did he support Sudiya, he also wanted to use this incident to plant a nail in Taifu Temple.

In this case, with He from the Ningguo Mansion inside and Wan Hong outside, she didn't believe that she couldn't find out Cui Yongwei's secrets.

Logically, of course it is not possible.

No matter how high the eldest princess's status is, she has no real power in the court.

Besides, even if she had it, she couldn’t control Taifu Temple.

But right now, there is no other way for Wan Hong to take. Whether he can or not, he can only do it.

He bowed his body and said with great fear and trepidation, "Your Highness wants to see it, of course you can. But you cannot take it away, you can only see it here."

Wan Hong didn't understand why the princess suddenly wanted to look at the disaster relief account books. However, he thought that the princess had never been involved in these mundane affairs, so she wouldn't be able to see much even if she looked at them here.

"can."

Qin Yaoguang nodded slightly and said to Qing Bai, "It's OK."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Qingbai raised his hands and clapped three times.

Along with the applause, Shuangjiang came in with seven or eight accountants transferred from the shop.

Seeing this situation, Wan Hong took several steps back.

Only then did he realize that the eldest princess came prepared.

"Your Highness, this..."

Wan Hong pointed at the person who came in with a shaking finger and asked, "What are you doing?"

The national granary account books were all in the room behind him, classified into different categories.

There is Cui Yongwei above him. If the eldest princess's people are allowed in, the position of temple secretary will be over.

"I've already said, look at the account book."

Qin Yaoguang stood up and told Qingbai, "Go find a few more desks and give one to each of the gentlemen."

"Yes."

This time, not only the Qingyi Guards came, but also the guards from the palace. Qin Yaoguang put them all under Qingbai's command.

Thus, a strange sight appeared in Taifu Temple - unused tables and chairs were taken out from the warehouse one by one and sent to the office of the temple secretary, attracting everyone to look here.

When the time comes, Wan Hong has no choice.

Cui Yongwei looked over with a dark face, already cursing him in his heart.

Some people arranged the desk and prepared the four treasures of the study, some people sorted the account books out of the book, and some people were responsible for recording...

Everything is in order.

A quarter of an hour later, Shuangjiang had already started working with the accountant, and the sound of abacus could be heard everywhere.

Cui Yongwei could no longer hold back, so he walked in, bowed, and asked, "Your Highness, may I ask what you want to do? Do you have any orders?"

Each government has its own set of rules for operation. Even the Dali Temple cannot come to the Taifu Temple to check the accounts without any evidence.

Qin Yaoguang smiled sweetly: "Oh? Lord Cui didn't remind me, but I forgot. I will go to the palace to ask for your permission now."
