The royal families who were rarely seen in the past now appeared together.

And it came out of a carriage!

The common people stared at the row of princes and princesses with wide eyes. Their surprised expressions were just like they were seeing a magician performing a magic trick on the spot!

"Oh my god! Did I stay up late reading the storybook last night and that's why I'm blurry today? Otherwise, how come I can see all the nobles in the palace standing in front of me?"

"Come on! You have cataracts and astigmatism, so everything you see is blurry? But how come I can see it too?"

"Ergou, stretch your face over here and let me pinch it... Does it hurt? Oh, it hurts! It seems to be true!"

In the midst of excitement, a very smart voice stood out!

"Tsk, look at you country bumpkins!"

"Those are all fake, they are just an imitation show circus hired by the little princess! Do you really think it's so easy to see the prince and princess? Look at the one wearing a veil, would a real princess wear such a cheap scarf?"

Everyone suddenly realized what was going on and looked at Situ Feng.

Situ Feng: “…”

She touched the pink veil on her face - a pink scarf she bought from Xie Yuantang for ten taels of gold, on credit!

I don’t know how Xie Yuantang got this thing in her little bag, but she had it!

But even though she was wearing a veil, Situ Feng could still feel countless burning gazes fixed on her. She felt a little uncomfortable and stood behind Situ Xu.

Situ Xu frowned slightly, and swept his cold gaze over them one by one, and said in a cold voice: "I am here, who dares to be rude to my sister?"

Situ Ran cleared his throat. He coughed even more than Situ Mo today.

"Everyone, we are here to visit the Fifth Emperor and his wife, but we didn't expect to see Old Madam Xie here."

"Although this is the Xie family's family affair, the fifth brother's wife is my sister-in-law and is also considered a member of my royal family. I and my brothers cannot ignore it."

Situ Mo smiled slightly, and his cool and celestial demeanor instantly won him a large number of crazy fans.

He looked at Old Madam Xie and Wei Lian, and said slowly: "If I heard correctly just now, the old lady seemed to want to charge Madam Xie for the medical expenses over the years..."

After a pause, he showed some doubt on his face: "Maybe the news is delayed because I haven't been out for a few days. I would like to ask, Madam Xie...have you divorced the Prime Minister?"

"Otherwise, why would you be so concerned about the money for saving your wife's life?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the way people looked at Old Madam Xie and Wei Lian suddenly changed.

"That's right. Yesterday there was a scene. They said it was for dowry, but the box was not even full. Today they are here to settle the bill again. It's really interesting!"

"I didn't expect that the Prime Minister would be such a frivolous man. He even counted the money spent on his wife's illness. I'm so sick of my overnight meal!"

"You still have the nerve to ask a concubine to find the prince's wife! What's the difference between this and taking off your pants and shitting at someone else's doorstep?"

Listening to the discussions and scolding around them, Old Madam Xie became angry and Xie Yuantang laughed.

She turned her head to look at the third brother and secretly gave him a thumbs up!

"Third brother, you don't know that my mother and father have not divorced. Not only that, my father even sent her to Huajue Temple to recuperate."

"Huajue Temple?"

Situ Feng was so eager to eat the melon that she didn't care if anyone was looking at her. She popped her head out from behind Situ Xu and asked, "Isn't that the place where your aunt Xie Xueyao was caught having an affair?"

Background board Sun Fengbi: “…” You eat up melons so fast that you are more informed than the emperor!

Xie Yuantang nodded and sighed, "Xie Xueyao went to take care of my mother, but when I got there, I found out that my mother was using an old thin quilt, wearing only single clothes, using old medicinal materials, and had been poisoned with arsenic by an old slave for a long time..."

Originally, Xie Xueyao's matter had been suppressed, but when Xie Yuantang brought it up again at this moment, everyone suddenly remembered the matter.

"Oh, I heard that old slave said that it was Xie Xueyao who ordered it, but Xie Xueyao didn't admit it."

"Tsk, can you admit it? For something like this, of course I'll find a servant to be the scapegoat~"

The people's spit was sprayed at them, and those people from the Xie family were unable to raise their heads!

Old Madam Xie's face turned red and white.

She was used to being so powerful that she couldn't bring herself to do it. She subconsciously knocked the ground with her cane and shouted angrily, "Shut up!"

Situ Mo said calmly: "Is the old lady talking about me?"

"No, I..."

Old Madam Xie was panicked. No matter how brave she was, she would not dare to shout at the Third Prince!

"Your Highness, you have misunderstood. I am not trying to quibble over the cost of Leng Yunwan's treatment. It's just that the herbs she has used over the years are really expensive, and the Xie family has spent quite a lot over the years."

"Zhao Qing is an honest official. Although he is the prime minister, he has not saved much over the years. Your Highness knows this."

Situ Mo: "No, I don't know."

Madam Xie: “…”

"puff!"

Xie Yuantang couldn't help laughing, clapped his hands and took out the list his mother gave him: "Okay, stop talking nonsense, since you want to settle the accounts, then let's do it!"

When Mrs. Xie saw the list in her hand, her expression changed immediately.

She turned to look at Wei Lian, gritted her teeth and whispered, "Didn't she give you her list?"

Wei Lian: "...I didn't expect she had another copy!"

Both fell silent.

The reason they dared to do this was because they thought Xie Yuantang didn't have the list and couldn't settle accounts with them.

As long as they can control the public opinion, they will be able to kill a nine-year-old girl like Xie Yuantang!

But now Xie Yuantang took out another list...

Seeing that they were staring at the list in his hands, Xie Yuantang blinked and smiled cutely.

"What's wrong? Curious why I still have a list?"

"After I gave you one, didn't you know to keep a backup?"

"I'm not stupid!"

Madam Xie and Wei Lian: “…” So they are the stupid ones?

Seeing that they were about to become a laughing stock again, Xie Yumo bit her lip and said, "Sister, these are our own affairs. Can we settle the accounts behind closed doors?"

"Ah! Now you know it's your own business?"

Situ Xu snorted coldly: "Why didn't you say it when you were clamoring to settle the accounts in front of the people?"

Situ Ye waved his hand and said, "Let's settle it here!"

Xie Yumo: “…”

Old Madam Xie regretted it so much that her intestines turned green, but since things had come to this point, she had no choice but to bite the bullet and start settling the scores.

"Leng Yunwan fell ill the first year after she married into the Xie family. Over the years, she has spent about 6,900 taels of silver. All of this can be checked in the accounts..."

"Where is the account book?"

Situ Ran smiled and said, "If the old lady doesn't mind, I'd like to take a look."

Madam Xie: “…”

Wei Lian dejectedly handed over the account book that they had falsified overnight.

Situ Ran pretended not to notice that the account book was fake. He turned two pages and said with a smile, "A thousand-year-old ginseng is worth four thousand taels."

"If I remember correctly, this thousand-year-old ginseng was specially given to Madam Xie by my father. How come it was converted into silver in the account book?"
