The Rebirth of the Prince: Starting from Not Being a Doglicker

At the same time, in the palace warehouse.

"Why is there only this much monthly silver this month? And the monthly cultivation resources for the young lady are clearly 20 spirit stones, why are there only 10 here?"

This was Xiaolian's angry voice.

"Did you embezzle it?"

"Miss Xiaolian, there is no evidence, can you slander someone's innocence with your own words?"

A man who looked like a manager spoke with a smile.

Today is the first day of October. This day of every month is the day when the royal treasury distributes monthly silver.

Also, because Sima Yue is a cultivator who practices in Guanwenxue Palace, in addition to her monthly salary, she also receives additional spiritual stones, elixirs and other cultivation resources.

Xiaolian and Xiaohe had an argument with the warehouse manager.

The monthly silver the steward gave them obviously did not match the training resources.

The warehouse manager looked smiling and seemed easy to talk to.

"Miss Lian'er, it's like this. The money in the palace has been a bit tight recently, so the princess has decided to reduce the monthly salary of the young masters and ladies as appropriate."

This kind of thing cannot stand verification. You can find out the truth by investigating other people. However, the manager is fearless and dares to speak nonsense.

Behind the manager, a maid from the warehouse looked at Xiaolian and Xiaohe, who were both filled with anger, and spoke sarcastically.

"The Second Miss has been in the Guanwen Palace for two years, but she has been unable to break through the Second Realm. I heard that her performance in this assessment was only C-level."

"In my opinion, the second young lady is not suitable for cultivation. It is better for her to find a suitable husband and marry him as soon as possible to save her time."

When the maid said the words "Ruyi Langjun", she deliberately emphasized the words a little.

"You...how dare you frame the young lady like that?" Xiao He pointed at the maid in the warehouse. She was very angry and her pretty face flushed.

"Keep your mouth shut." Xiaolian said coldly.

The maid in the warehouse sneered and said disdainfully, "What? Am I wrong?"

"With the Second Miss's talent, I'm afraid she won't be able to break through the Second Realm in this lifetime, right?"

Xiaolian, who was hot-tempered, immediately exploded. She pounced on the warehouse maid and started fighting with her.

"Bitch, I'll tear your mouth apart."

Under the panicked gaze of the warehouse maid, Xiaolian threw her to the ground and scratched her face hard.

In the end, it took the people nearby a lot of effort to separate the two.

After the two separated, Xiao Lian's hair was disheveled, her clothes were messy, and her body was covered in dust, but she had not suffered any substantial injuries.

The storehouse maid's face was scratched with bloody marks, and she looked quite miserable.

"You...you scratched my face like this?"

"You, you, you, what do you mean by you? The young lady has the blood of the prince flowing in her body. She is your master. How dare you, a little bitch, criticize the young lady?" Xiaolian said in a vicious voice.

"Believe it or not, I will report this to the prince. By then, even the princess won't be able to protect you!"

"Miss Xiaolian, it was Bi'er's fault for criticizing the Second Miss. You see, the Second Miss is still waiting for you to bring Yueyin back. She is already in this state. Let's just leave it at that. I will discipline her properly later."

The warehouse manager came out to smooth things over. He was still smiling, but there was a hint of speechlessness in his eyes as he looked at the maid in charge.

Why did he dare to withhold Sima Yue's monthly silver and cultivation resources?

There are many reasons for this, and they dare not give Sima Yu even a penny less.

On the one hand, she had made great progress in her cultivation and was apparently a cultivator of the third realm.

On the other hand, Sima Yu's biological mother, the concubine of Prince Runan, was a good person in the palace and a supporter of Princess Runan. To the steward, she was a family member.

Sima Yue's biological mother, relying on the favor of Prince Runan in her early years, stirred up trouble. In recent years, relying on Su An's favor for Sima Yue, she has been confronting Princess Runan and fighting for power in the palace.

The servants in the palace had long been disgusted with her.

The idle prince Prince Runan has never cared about the affairs of the palace. Now the Princess Runan has the final say in the palace.

Having lost Su An's support, the princess naturally targeted Sima Yue's biological mother everywhere, and Sima Yue was also suppressed as a result.

In short, Sima Yue's situation in the palace was very bad.

It was the princess's idea to suppress Sima Yue's biological mother, and as for suppressing Sima Yue, it was just a matter of convenience.

However, it is one thing to secretly withhold the master's monthly salary and pretend to obey the master but actually disobey him, and it is another thing to openly criticize the master.

Some things are done and everyone knows about it.

But it doesn't look good when you say it out loud.

So the maid was tickled in vain.

"Don't think I don't know. The princess has not cut the expenses of the young masters and young ladies at all. It is you who deliberately targeted my young lady." Xiaolian said coldly.

"If you don't give me all the money and training resources for this month, I will report today's incident to the prince."

Faced with Xiaolian's threat, the manager frowned and felt a little troubled.

King Runan actually felt some pity for his second daughter, but not much.

When Sima Yue was first divorced, Prince Runan was very caring towards her, but it didn't take long for this idle prince to forget about Sima Yue completely and go out alone to have fun.

But if this maid really reported what happened today to the prince and disturbed his interest, no matter whether she would be punished or not, she would definitely not end up in trouble.

In the end, the manager chose to compromise and gave sufficient monthly silver and cultivation resources to Xiaolian and Xiaohe.

After all, the princess had instructed at the time that Sima Yue’s biological mother must not have an easy life, and it wasn’t meant to suppress her.

After Xiaolian and Xiaohe returned to Sima Yue's courtyard.

"Xiao Lian, what's wrong with you?"

Sima Yue looked at Xiaolian, who looked dusty and disheveled, and asked in surprise.

Xiao He told Sima Yue everything that had just happened.

"If Xiaolian hadn't been here, your monthly salary would have really been deducted by that steward."

Xiao He said with some admiration.

She was a gentle person, and she was so angry at the words of the warehouse maid that her chest hurt. But she had no choice. She was very stupid and couldn't even say a curse word. She could only be angry.

Fortunately, her elder sister was there. She taught the rude maid a lesson and used this incident to force the steward to pay the full amount of monthly silver and cultivation resources.

"Xiao Lian, thank you so much."

Knowing this, Sima Yue gently tidied Xiaolian's clothes.

"Miss, this is what I should do."

"Besides, you should have been living a life of luxury in the Marquis of Shenwei's mansion. It's all my fault..."

Xiaolian looked guilty and regretful.

In terms of attitude towards Su An at that time, Xiaolian was actually the same as Aunt Zhang (Sima Yue's biological mother). They both advocated that she should not be too nice to Su An, and should occasionally show her displeasure to Su An and control Su An more.

Moreover, she acted recklessly in the Shenwei Marquis Mansion and secretly drank the soup that Su Wan prepared for Su An.

Now, Xiaolian feels that if she had not taught the young lady bad things in the beginning, the young lady would still be the prince's consort now. If she goes back to the palace to visit her relatives, the prince and princess will have to be careful to coax her.

Why is he being bullied by a warehouse manager and a maid now?

"Do not blame you."

Sima Yue recalled the past, and a trace of regret and bitterness surged in her heart.

Although Xiaolian did some wrong things.

But, the reason why she and Su An ended up like this was because she couldn't tell right from wrong.

She should blame herself, not the pair of maids who were loyal to her.

"Bang bang bang!"

Just then, there was a violent knock on the door.

"Sima Yue, open the door quickly!"

This was followed by a burst of impatient urging.

Xiao He quickly walked to the door and opened it.

A young man in brocade clothes with thick dark circles under his eyes, pale skin, and unsteady steps stood outside the door. He looked somewhat similar to Sima Yue.

After the door opened, the young man swaggered into the house and went straight into the inner room.

"I have no silver left, give me some."

The young man immediately asked Sima Yue for money.

He is Sima Yue's younger brother, Sima Xin.

Sima Xin was idle on weekdays, walking his cats and dogs, and was good at eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. His biggest hobby was to hang out in the major gambling houses and brothels in the capital.

He basically spends his monthly salary on these things.

Not only that, because of the loss of his brother-in-law Su An, Sima Xin also lost his source of property, and he also owed a lot of debts during this period.

"If you want money, go ask mom for it, don't ask me." Sima Yue refused coldly.

Aunt Zhang has been selfish and biased since she was a child. From childhood to adulthood, no matter what good things she had, she would keep them for herself first and then give them to Sima Xin, never thinking of her.

Especially during this period, Sima Yue wanted to borrow some money from her to purchase cultivation resources, but she refused.

"Mother has no money left. She said you have the habit of saving money. Today is the beginning of the month, so you must have money to give me." Sima Xin said.

He had been to Aunt Zhang, but because of the suppression by Princess Runan, the monthly salary Aunt Zhang could get was much less than before.

She didn't even have enough for herself, so how could she be willing to give it to Sima Xin?

Even her own son was not as important as herself in Aunt Zhang's heart, so she instigated Sima Xin to find Sima Yue.

"I don't have any extra money to give you now, so you can go back." Sima Yue flatly refused.

If she gave money to Sima Xin, he would definitely give it to a gambling house or a brothel.

This younger brother is a bottomless pit. If she gives in, he will definitely come to her for money every day in the future.

"You won't give it to me? Then I'll find it myself!" Sima Xin snorted coldly, and started searching Sima Yue's room.

Sima Yue walked over, pulled him up, and looked at him with an unhappy expression.

"go out."

"You have silver, but you just won't give it to me." Sima Xin looked angry.

"Do you know why I'm so short of money now? It's all thanks to you."

"If you hadn't been a troublemaker, getting involved with Lu Chuan and asking Su An to divorce you, how could I be short of money now? How could I not even be able to afford to go to the Music Bureau? Even my friends don't want to play with me anymore?"

When Su An was being affectionate towards Sima Yue, Sima Xin lived a very comfortable life.

He could go to the Marquis' Mansion to beg for money at any time. The Marquis' Mansion of Shenwei was wealthy and he had no shortage of money.

As a result, he gathered a bunch of bad friends around him, and they went to the biggest gambling house and the best brothel in the capital every day.

Moreover, Sima Xin could often go to the marquis's mansion and see the fairy-like girl.

She was the most beautiful person of the opposite sex he had ever seen. She was heroic, pretty and noble. From the first moment he saw her, Sima Xin felt that this should be his future wife.

This matter originally had great potential. Aunt Zhang said that Su An doted on Sima Yue very much. If Sima Yue asked Su An for help, there was a high probability that Su Wan would marry him, thus strengthening the relationship between the two families.

But all of this was ruined by Sima Yue. Sima Yue made him lose his endless source of money, his friends, and Su Wan, the woman he had been dreaming about.

Sima Xin's words deeply hurt Sima Yue and brought back bad memories for her.

She gritted her teeth and spoke word by word.
