After dressing as a villain's ex-wife, she went crazy for whitewashing

Knowing someone's thoughts, Lu Xiyue frowned: "I was thinking, I'm too tired today, I plan to sleep alone."

After finishing speaking, she turned sideways from someone and rolled to the other side of the soft couch.

With nothing in his arms, Xiao Yunheng was stunned for a moment before he realized that he reached out to grab someone.

The two quarreled in the carriage for a while, and when they returned to the palace, the Fifth Prince was already waiting in the hall.

Looking at the huge carriage, Ji Yunyan was taken aback.

Daxia has class requirements for the specifications of carriages, and ordinary people can indeed ride in carriages, but they are the most simple ones.

A prince like Xiao Yunheng can naturally build such a carriage with enough space, but generally speaking, noble families will not just go out in this kind of carriage casually.

After all, this is too ostentatious, except for occasions such as banquets, it is rarely used.

He looked up at the sky outside, it was gloomy, and the rain just stopped.

Ji Yunyan wanted to say something, but after seeing Xiao Yunheng getting out of the carriage and helping to wipe off the water droplets from the wind blowing on Lu Xiyue's body, he swallowed all the words.

This was more than that, when the two got out of the carriage and greeted each other, they saw Jing Yi directing a few servants to carry things up.

Not long after, four or five boxes were removed and sent to the warehouse.

Out of curiosity, he asked casually, "It's raining today, are you out shopping at the market?"

He looked at those boxes, the boy was lifting them up with great effort, they didn't look like ordinary objects.

"No, I went to the Zhao Mansion."

"The Zhao family of Tianxia Commercial Bank." Ji Yunyan understood, he knew that the owner of Tianxia Commercial Bank and Concubine Ning were sworn brothers and sisters, "So it was sent by the owner of Zhao Family."

Xiao Yunheng replied casually: "No, I went to withdraw the balance of the store from the previous few months."

Ji Yunyan was slightly stunned, and turned to look at the backs of the boys carrying the boxes away, feeling shocked.

The balance of the store, so to speak, these four or five boxes are full of silver.

Such a big box can hold more than one hundred thousand taels at least.

Ji Yunyan is not a wealthy person, but he admires Lu Xiyue's ability to do business very much.

"Princess Ning is really amazing."

He silently picked up the tea and took a sip, a soreness rose in his calm heart.

As a prince, by comparison, he seems a little too poor.

Lu Xiyue smiled modestly.

Jing Yi took out the last box from the carriage, it wasn't that big and could fit in his hand.

He opened his eyes and asked, "Princess, where are the 20 taels of silver notes?"

The denominations are one thousand taels of silver bills, and the silver bills have always been kept by Lu Xiyue herself.

Ji Yunyan almost spurted out a sip of warm tea.

He has always been a steady person, but when he heard the amount, he still couldn't calm down.

If you heard me right, the small box contained 20 taels.

His annual salary is only 1 taels of silver, which is used for various expenses of the family, and there is not even a surplus every month. Fortunately, some industrial shops support it.

Lu Xiyue has already allocated 20 taels of silver, and the expenses of the hidden guards must also be included. In addition, Xiao Yunheng plans to train newcomers, so he allocated 2 taels in total and added another 3 taels. For emergencies, the rest will be stored in the dark compartment of the study by Jing Yi.

The surrounding servants were dismissed, and two hidden guards stood guard outside the hall to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

Xiao Yunheng asked quietly: "Your Highness is here at this time, what's the matter?"

Ji Yunyan came back to his senses, remembered the business, and looked serious: "The third brother handed the booklet to the emperor, do you know?"

"It's not that His Majesty did not agree to his request."

"That's right, but there is a message from the person I placed in the third brother's house that Ji Wuhen handed over the note to the emperor after meeting Yao Xinyu."

"Your Highness, what do you mean, things have changed?"

Meeting Ji Yunyan's condensed gaze, Xiao Yunheng frowned slightly.

Ji Yunyan nodded with a serious expression, and said: "I originally thought that the rumors that spread wildly outside would make Father suspicious, and in this way, they would be able to take advantage of the opportunity to expose their fake pregnancy, but judging from the current situation, they seem to have been prepared. "

To put it more clearly, it was not Ji Wuhen who had been prepared, but Yao Xiang and Yao Xinyu.

As thoughtful as Ji Yunyan, how can he not see that Ji Wuhen's Qingyun has been relying on Yao's parents for many years.

Xiao Yunheng also knew what had happened recently, even though Shuntian Fu Yin was tight-lipped about the current situation of the case, and after many investigations, the news was pieced together intermittently, he still knew the general idea.

"It has nothing to do with Ji Wuhen, it should be Yao Xinyu."

After saying that, his gaze shifted back, just in time to meet Lu Xiyue's lightly raised gaze.

Yao Xinyu is indeed a very ambitious person, compared to Ji Wuhen, who is much easier to deal with.

Until the candles were lit in the hall, and the few people talked for a long time, Ji Yunyan took a deep breath, as if shocked by Yao Xinyu's cruelty.

"You... how can you be sure that Ji Wuhen will be willing to give up everything for him."

According to Lu Xiyue's understanding of Yao Xinyu, since she has made up her mind, she will not show mercy.

Whether it's for Concubine Wan or Ji Wuhen.

The woman testified that it was Concubine Wan who ordered them to be arrested, and Concubine Wan who bought their unborn baby, but it was Yao Xinyu who did the killing.

It is not difficult to infer that these are all tricks set by Yao Xinyu, not only to solve the trouble of Concubine Wan, but also to better get rid of Ji Wuhen.

With his means, it is too simple to force Ji Wuhen to admit the fake pregnancy, and then pick himself up.

From Ji Wuhen's point of view, Yao Xinyu is on one side of this game, and Concubine Wan is on the other.

Ji Wuhen could only choose one of the two.

If he wanted to ascend to the throne, he would never give up the Yao family's support.

Between all-or-nothing and never-ending success, he has to choose one or the other.

Lu Xiyue guessed right, between the two, Ji Wuhen chose the latter.

Two days later, under Ji Wuhen's persistent request, Emperor Hui finally summoned him.

However, to everyone's surprise, the third prince actually voluntarily admitted the fake pregnancy.

Emperor Hui was furious and asked if anyone else was involved besides him.

Ji Wuhen didn't want to abandon Yao Xinyu, and he didn't want the scandal of his woman to be exposed, killing him alone.

When Emperor Hui saw this, a sneer appeared on the corners of his tensed lips.

"You have courage!"

Hearing this boast, Ji Wuhen's heart fell to the bottom of the valley, how could he not hear the irony in this sentence.

More are still puzzled.

"It is said that the governor of Shuntian Prefecture has come to see me."

The waiter hurriedly responded.

Ji Wuhen closed his eyes, feeling as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

At this time, Emperor Father called Shuntian Mansion Yin to come, apart from the matter of those pregnant women, naturally there would be nothing else.

Thinking about what he said just now, Ji Wuhen instantly understood.

Father didn't believe him at all!
