Double Life: The Sickly Prince Eavesdrops on My Heart

"Ruhuan, you said you earned it yourself? How did you earn it? Why have I never heard of it?" Aunt Zhao looked puzzled.

Qin Ruhuan picked up the scented tea and took a sip. "It's normal that you don't know, Auntie. My father and mother don't know either. The shop was given to me by my grandparents. I seldom asked about it before, and I only took over the management recently!"

Qin Rushi and Qin Ruqi both looked unhappy. It turned out that she was so rich because of her maternal grandparents. But what about them? Their maternal grandparents had nothing and had to rely on them for help!

It’s so irritating that people are so different from each other!

"Ruhuan, since you have so much money now, can you please give the gold that the emperor gave to your family? Your family is not very wealthy right now. Since you have money, can you share some of it with your father?"

Qin Ruhuan narrowed her eyes. So she was waiting for me here! I knew she had no good intentions!

"Aunt, it's not that I don't want to pay, it's because the several hundred taels of gold have already been put into the shop for circulation! Now we can't take out the gold! Besides, our family has not reached the point where we have to spend a daughter's money! If this matter gets out, it will damage the reputation of our mansion!" Qin Ruhuan said slowly.

Aunt Zhao was so angry that her face turned blue. This damn girl said a lot of things but just refused to hand over the gold!

Aunt Zhao was so angry that her face was very embarrassed. "Since you are unwilling to share the burden of the family, then Aunt Zhao dare not force you. I can only discuss with your mother to see how to allocate the expenses of the mansion in the second half of the year!"

Qin Ruhuan heard the threat in these words. Knowing that her mother didn't care about the affairs of the mansion and her health was not very good, she wanted to disturb her mother's peace and quiet. Wasn't this intentional?

"Go ahead, Aunt! I'll go and ask my father why the mansion is so short of money." Qin Ruhuan put away her smile and looked indifferent.

Motherhood is her bottom line, and she will never allow anyone to touch it!

Then he turned around and left with a cold face, leaving Aunt Zhao and the other two looking at each other in bewilderment.

The next morning, Qin Ruhuan had just finished practicing and had breakfast when the servant came to report: The Princess's Mansion had sent an invitation, inviting the ladies of the Prime Minister's Mansion to attend a birthday banquet on May 9, which was the day after tomorrow.

Qin Ruhuan accepted the invitation and fell into deep thought. In her first life, it was at this banquet that the eldest princess took a fancy to her and tried hard to match her up with him, and she ended up marrying Xiao Jingxuan.

She was wondering if anything would change if she didn't go this time, but then she changed her mind and realized that whether she went or not, Xiao Jingxuan had already chosen her, and it seemed that it would not affect her.

Bai Xiaoru patted the dazed Qin Ruhuan and said, "Sister Ruhuan, I'll go with you. I think my invitation has been sent back to the mansion. We can still keep each other company."

Qin Ruhuan smiled and nodded: "Okay!"

Not long after, Qianxun sent someone to say that there was an important matter and Qin Ruhuan must go there.

Qin Ruhuan changed into a set of clean and neat clothes and went to Zuiyue Tower with Qianxue, Bai Xiaoru and others.

After arriving, Qianxue took Bai Xiaoru to stroll in the backyard, while Qianxun and Qin Ruhuan negotiated on the second floor.

"Miss, Aunt Zhao made some moves today. She left the house and went to the courtyard I mentioned last time. Not long after she went in, Old Cai, the steward of the Third Prince's house, also went there. The two of them are now in the courtyard. How do you think we should deal with this matter?"

Qin Ruhuan twitched her lips and said, "What are you waiting for? Let's go and watch the fun!"

Several people immediately rushed to the yard, which was not far away, and they arrived there in a short while.

This street is usually sparsely populated and has relatively few shops, so it can be considered very quiet.

Qin Ruhuan glanced at Qianxun and asked, "You go? I go?"

Chihiro understood instantly, leaped onto the wall, and then jumped onto the roof with another leap.

He gently lifted a tile from the roof and saw two people sitting inside drinking.

"Guozhong, you must help me teach that damn girl a lesson. I asked her for some gold but she refused to give it to me. She spent the money like water and even talked back to me rudely. It really pissed me off!"

"Why bother with a little girl! Sooner or later, her father will be dealt with as well! The most important thing for you now is to make more money. The Prime Minister's Mansion will be dealt with sooner or later. We must find a way out for ourselves first!" Chief Steward Cai had a sly smile on his face.

After a few drinks, both of them had rosy faces. Old Cai stood up and said, "Yuzhi, I miss you so much! You have suffered for so many years, but I couldn't give you a stable life. I even didn't dare to recognize my own two daughters. I feel so ashamed of you!" After saying that, Old Cai stepped forward and hugged her in his arms.

"Guozhong, do you know how painful it is to sleep in the same bed with someone you don't love? Every time I think of him as you! When can we be honest and upright?" After saying that, Zhao Yuzhi sobbed softly.

Although Zhao Yuzhi is middle-aged, she has taken good care of herself. Her skin is fair and tender, and her figure is well managed. She is the kind of woman who still has charm.

Old Cai bent down to kiss the tear marks on her face. Aunt Zhao was moved and looked up in response. The two of them instantly fell in love and couldn't help but hug and kiss each other.

Chihiro quickly jumped down from the roof, went back to the yard, and whispered the situation again.

"Qianxun, send someone to the government office to report the case, saying that the concubine of the prime minister has been abducted here! Also, find someone to notify my father and tell him that the concubine is in trouble!"

Qianxun quickly sent someone out, and within a moment, the people from the yamen had arrived, and they all quietly climbed over the wall and entered.

When I came to the window of the house, I heard an unbearable noise coming from inside.

Everyone blushed as they heard this. How could this be considered hostage-taking? Wasn't this an affair?

When Zuo Xiang arrived, everyone was already in the courtyard. He didn't know martial arts, so he could only wait outside anxiously, extremely worried about Aunt Zhao's safety.

Qin Ruhuan had no expression on her face, so she said to the people at the government office, "Hurry up and knock on the door! What are you waiting for? Aren't you going to save people?"

After hearing this, several people frowned slightly. Is there any need to rescue in this situation?

Qianxun took the lead and kicked the door open, and everyone walked in one after another.

The two people in the room were in the middle of a passionate moment when Aunt Zhao was startled by the sound. Manager Cai was still unable to stop at this time, and Aunt Zhao shouted, "Who are you?"

Manager Cai was so frightened that he quickly rolled off the bed and pulled the quilt to cover himself. Aunt Zhao was in a miserable state. The thing she had just used to cover herself was snatched away, and her underwear was exposed in an instant. She immediately quickly grabbed a pillow to cover herself.

At this time, the left prime minister rushed in, "Yuzhi! Yuzhi! Are you okay?"

When he saw Aunt Zhao, who was half-dressed, and the man wrapped in a bed sheet on the ground, he was stunned for a moment!

One second he was still worried about the woman's safety, and the next second he was shocked to death.

"Yuzhi, what are you doing? Who is he?"

"Master, it wasn't me, it wasn't me. I didn't do it voluntarily. It was him. He forced me!" Aunt Zhao suddenly accused Cai Guozhong like crazy.

Old Cai on the ground had an expression of disbelief in his eyes, "Yuzhi, how can you say that! We are childhood sweethearts and have been in love until now, why do you say that I forced you! Didn't you just say that you were thinking about me when you were with him?"
