After rebirth, I became a scumbag and his aunt

After the dispersion of the dynasty, Emperor Qingming went to the imperial study.

He sat on the cave and closed his eyes to meditate, but he still looked powerful.

Wu Jian bowed and stood silently, waiting aside.

"Wu Jian, in your opinion, who is leading what happened in court today?"

Wu Jian bowed and said, "Go back to the emperor, I don't understand."

"A dowry list involves ten court officials and even two cabinet ministers." Emperor Qingming squinted his eyes, "Someone can't hold himself back."

Wu Jian bowed his head and said, "It's a good thing if Marquis Yongping is found to have formed a clique for personal gain. Your Majesty, your court will be cleaner, won't it?"

Emperor Qingming sneered, "He, Marquis Yongping, is not the only one who forms cliques for personal gain. Every one of us in the entire Zhou Dynasty has nothing to do with anyone. The gifts we give each other are probably more than the money in the treasury."

He got up from the collapse and paced, "Look, there are so many officials in the court who are asking for money from me. The Ministry of Industry wants to build rivers, the Ministry of War wants to pay military personnel and make weapons, and the Ministry of Rites wants to hold celebrations...everywhere.

Silver. The only one who can help me get money is Marquis Yongping. If it were anyone else, no one would be able to fill up my treasury."

Wu Jian followed, "The emperor's wishes... Marquis Yongping cannot deal with them."

Emperor Qingming sat down in front of the Dragon Case and frowned, "The matter has escalated to the court. If I don't deal with it, how can I explain it to the officials?"

He squinted his eyes and said, "I know he is not as honest as he appears, but if he cheats his master... he should be beaten."

Yongpinghou got off the boat at Futai Town.

Accompanying him was Hu Wende, the prefect of Xiangping Prefecture.

On the pier, there were aides from the Marquis Mansion waiting, telling them everything that had happened in the capital these days.

Marquis Yongping's face was like a storm sweeping over him, gloomy and terrifying.

He wanted to deal with the aftermath of Chen Mansion, but he came back half a month late, and things actually developed to this point!

How could a little girl like Chen Youning be so capable?

A guard came with a horse.

The staff asked, "Do you want to ride back to the capital, Lord? The dowry is very involved, and I'm afraid there's already a commotion in the court."

Marquis Yongping tightened his eyes and thought quickly in his mind. He quickly calmed down and said, "No, I will take the carriage."

When Yongpinghou entered the palace, the sun was high.

By the time he left the palace, it was already dusk.

His clothes were still meticulous and his expression was calm.

He did not return to the Marquis Mansion, but went directly to the Duke of Dingguo Mansion.

Mrs. Han's warehouse was mostly empty, and her heart was hurting. When she saw Marquis Yongping coming, she didn't say anything, and she just sat on the couch and twisted her beads.

Marquis Yongping sat on the Grand Master's chair nearby and looked at the old lady, "Second sister looks like she is blaming me."

Mrs. Han said coldly, "Master Hou is so arrogant, how dare I blame you. But don't forget, you climbed up all the way, relying on who gave away a lot of money. Now it's time to pay off the debt.

, Mrs. Hou is really powerful, she holds it tightly in her hand and refuses to take out even a tael of silver!"

She and Little Wen had been busy since yesterday, and many mansions had been sent back, but the dowry list was still not complete.

Except for some things that I really can't remember where to go, the biggest gap is 300,000 taels of silver notes and 300,000 taels of cash.

Back then, she had to rely on her natal family, so half of the money was secretly taken back to the Hou Mansion.

But the money is not as good as the calligraphy and painting on the head and face, and there is a mark. If Mrs. Hou refuses to recognize it, there is nothing she can do!

Marquis Yongping said softly, "The money that was taken out was all returned in exchange for things. With such an accounting method, the second sister may have forgotten how she became the wife of the old Duke Ding."

Mrs. Han paused while twirling the beads and softened her tone, "Brother, you also know how much dowry I brought when I got married. Now the prince wants to make up for Chen Man's dowry, and even the income

If you want to return it, how can Yuzhen and I scrape together the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver?"

Marquis Yongping fiddled with the peanuts on the plate, "Second sister, do you know how much money I will lose just because of this dowry list?"

"Brother just returned to Beijing today. He didn't even return to the Marquis Mansion. Where can I pay for it?"

Marquis Yongning sneered, "Don't forget, I just entered the palace."

Mrs. Han was stunned, "Did you give money to the Emperor?"

"If I don't pay a price, I'm afraid my life will be lost." He said with a mocking smile, "If there is anyone who is most in need of money in the world, it is the Emperor. Because of this, the Emperor is reluctant to touch me."

"How much did you give?"

Marquis Yongning picked out three peanuts on the plate and said, "This is the number."

"Three hundred thousand taels?"

"Three million taels."

"Three million taels!" Mrs. Han stood up in shock, "Where did you get so much money?"

Marquis Yongning kept his secret and drank the tea.

"A father's life is worth three million taels, so is his daughter's life not worth one tael?"

The fan opened and little Wen walked in.

Her face looked haggard, but in just two days, she had seen everything about human relationships.

She walked up to Marquis Yongning and said, "If I can't make up for the hundreds of thousands of taels of silver, the prince will kill me. My aunt doesn't care about me, and my father doesn't care either?"

Marquis Yongping frowned.

In fact, he didn't have much deep feelings for this concubine. She was born and raised by his aunt, so it was inevitable that she would not be on the stage. From the time she was raised, he had only seen her a handful of times.

If she hadn't given birth to a daughter with Phoenix life, he really wouldn't have had much thought to talk about the relationship between father and daughter with her.

"When you met me, you didn't even say hello. When you opened your mouth, you just asked questions. Is this the rule for you as a child?"

Little Wen's face burst into tears, "Father has several daughters, and my daughter doesn't dare to expect you to care about me. But there is only one granddaughter in the Phoenix Life. Father really doesn't think about Wan'er?"

When it came to Han Qingwan, Marquis Yongping softened his heart.

If their princely family wants to keep the gold and silver in their hands forever, they still have to rely on this granddaughter.

And he didn't want the dowry issue to continue endlessly, as it would only continue to cost him.

"I didn't say I wouldn't give it, okay, don't cry."

Little Wen's tears turned into laughter, "Really?"

Marquis Yongping glanced at her, "Can I still trick you? But Wan'er's phoenix life... didn't you feel curious when you met Chen Youning?"

Little Wen sat next to Marquis Yongping, "Father is saying... Chen Youning is Chen Man's daughter?"

Marquis Yongping nodded, "When Chen Man gave birth to Chen Youning, she asked the maids around her to secretly carry her to Xiangping Mansion. It happened that the second wife of the Chen family was about to give birth, so she announced the twins."

Mrs. Han sighed heavily, "It's true. Her life is really hard, and she has been hard since her mother's womb."

Marquis Yongping said coldly, "It's because of fate. I brought in so many people, but I couldn't kill her. After all, she was allowed to enter the capital."

He frowned, "Now that the emperor and the prince have noticed her, it's not a good sign."
