My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

The new year is getting closer and the weather is getting colder.

The red plum blossoms in Jixuexuan have begun to bloom.

With Mei Xueer's conditioning and Wen Wu's care, Wen Ding's injuries improved a lot.

"Well, after nurturing it for another month or so, it will be full of life again." Mei Xueer said.

Wen Bing, who was standing by, was still a little worried. "Will there be anything bad left behind? Can we still fight?"

Mei Xueer stood up and said, "It will definitely be affected in the beginning, so don't rush it. There will always be a gradual recovery process. At most, in three months, you will be back to the same state as before. That old man's medical skills are amazing!"

Wen Bing breathed a sigh of relief.

Wen Ding was injured because he blocked a knife for him.

If Winding cannot fully recover, he will probably be the saddest one.

Only then did Mei Xueer notice that the five divine beasts were all in this room.

Four were standing and one was lying.

And the style of painting is a bit weird.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to go out and beg for food together?"

Yes, except for Wen Ding who was lying on the bed, the others were all dressed in rags.

The four of them stood in a row, looking at each other and winking at each other.

"What are you doing?" Mei Xue'er put her hands on her hips and glared, "What are you thinking of doing again? I'm warning you, this is the Prime Minister's residence, everyone, behave properly. Don't think you can turn the tables just because you got the indenture. You followed me voluntarily. You are not allowed to regret it!"

"No, we won't regret it!" The four divine beasts quickly shook their heads collectively. Even Wen Ding, who hadn't farted for many days, was lying on the bed and shaking his head vigorously.

"So you guys, what are you talking about? If you have something to say, just say it. If you have to fart, just fart!"

"Brother, the princess ordered you to speak quickly, so go ahead and speak! Before the princess came in, weren't you rubbing your hands and making a lot of noise?" Wen Wu looked at Wen Jia with a puzzled look on his face, "You even made us dress like this, what on earth do you want to say to the princess?"

When Wen Jia heard this, he staggered and almost fell.

Receiving Wen Yi's look that was slightly sympathetic, encouraging, expectant, and pleading, Wen Jia glared at Wen Wu.

Last time in the palace, he was instigated by this kid and made a fool of himself. He ran back and forth between the prince and the princess, and ended up being treated badly by both parties. He never had a chance to talk about the unspeakable matter about money.

It was obvious that Wen Wu was the culprit. It was his bad idea that led to everyone being dressed in rags today.

Wen Wu, just wait, I’ll kill you later!

"Princess, I heard Xiao Wu scolding you earlier. There was a lot of resentment in his words. I don't know what else he is dissatisfied with."

"Really?" Mei Xueer turned to look at Wen Wu with a smile on her face, as if she was waiting to see what the guys were going to do next.

Wen Wu remained calm and stood straight, "Princess, that's not the case."

"What's going on?" Mei Xue'er lost her patience and pointed at Wen Yi. "You've always had a strong desire to talk. Go ahead and tell me!"

Unexpectedly, Wen Yi, who always talked more than Tang Seng, kept his mouth shut this time and didn't say a word.

"Oh, why are you so troublesome!" Wen Bing couldn't help it. With the two bumps on his forehead caused by the door frame and the "Dog Prince" that had not completely disappeared, he said, "It's like this, Princess. They said they have no money to use. They don't even have money to buy new clothes when they are torn. They want to ask you... for monthly wages - it's none of my business. I, I don't have this intention. They are the ones making trouble. I am willing to work for you as long as I can have a meal, no money."

"Ask for monthly allowance?" Mei Xue'er looked at the beggars in front of her in disbelief. "You, are you asking me for monthly allowance? Lord Dog, didn't give you monthly allowance?"

"When we followed the prince before, of course he had to give us monthly allowance. Now that we follow the princess, we belong to her, so naturally the prince won't give us monthly allowance anymore." Anyway, these unspeakable words were said by Wen Bing, and Wen Wu didn't care about anything anymore. "But we've been following the princess for four months, and we haven't even seen the shadow of monthly allowance..."

"Then why didn't you remind me?" Mei Xueer blushed slightly. She didn't expect that she would also owe wages. It made people think that she was a capitalist who only knew how to squeeze the blood and sweat of her employees.

Wen Jia: I wanted to remind you, didn't you ask me to ask the prince for money for medicine? Didn't the prince ask me to tell you to cut down on expenses? Aren't you two masters complaining about being poor? It's hard for me too. The most outrageous thing is that you asked us to borrow money later.

"They said that the princess was irritated by the prince in the palace, and was divorced by the prince after leaving the palace. They said that the princess was pitiful and they couldn't bear to mention her..." Before Wen Bing finished speaking, Wen Jia slapped him on the head, "If you can't speak, shut up!"

"I told you that I have two lumps on my head. They hurt when I touch them." Wen Bing touched his head and muttered aggrievedly, "Well, you guys tell me, tell me..."

"It's no big deal to have a bag..." Wen Jia was still muttering.

Mei Xueer was both angry and amused, and asked tentatively: "How much did the prince give you before?"

"Princess, each of us gets fifteen taels of silver per month!" Wen Jia replied.

"Ah! So much?" Mei Xueer did the math in her mind: five people each received fifteen taels per month, and with four months in arrears, the total would be three hundred taels!

She didn't want to be a debtor who didn't pay back his debts, but the thought of having to pay three hundred taels of silver all at once made her feel painful.

However, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. If the wages are still withheld, I am afraid that these little beasts will not only take to the streets with signs and banners, but they may even jump off buildings or climb tower cranes.

So, she was still prepared to spend a little money, "I'm also very poor, okay! Look, from now on, the monthly salary can be cut in half, okay?"

The four divine beasts immediately looked up at the sky.

Look here and there.

The weather today is nice!

Even Wen Ding, who was lying on the bed, turned his head away and tried to stick his face against the wall.

The princess is good in every way except that she is a little stingy.

"Well, 20% off? We can discuss it." Mei Xueer smiled apologetically.

The divine beasts continued to look at the sky, and Winding continued to stick to the wall.

"Princess, we all know that you exchanged a pearl for 100,000 taels of silver and several large boxes from the prince. A few days ago, you also brought back a lot of good things. You have plenty of silver." Wen Wu said loudly while looking at the sky.

Mei Xueer gnashed her teeth and glared at the beggars who were waiting for their salary to celebrate the New Year. She hardened her heart, stamped her feet, and shouted with a dark face: "Nanxing - take the silver!"

Nanxing, who was cleaning up the yard, ran in and asked, "Why do you want the silver?"

"Monthly wages for these servants!"

"Oh!" Nan Xing turned around and went to get the money. After walking a few steps, he stepped back and said, "Miss, what about my monthly salary? I've already had five months... You even borrowed money from me..."

"Get out--" Mei Xueer was sad again. She returned to her room angrily and slammed the door.

Behind him, several people shouted, "And the copper coins that the princess borrowed from us last time..."
