"Your servant greets Prime Minister Qin." Yu En bowed to Qin Xu, then looked at Qin Zian and said, "Your servant greets Second Young Master."

"Please excuse me, eunuch." Prime Minister Qin smiled and raised his hand: "I don't know why you are here, but what instructions does the Queen Mother have?"

Yu En smiled slightly: "The Empress Dowager asked me to pass on a message. Since the Second Young Master has returned to the capital, please return the silver to the Empress Dowager."

Qin Zian was stunned for a moment: "What?"

Yu En's smile faded, and he looked at Qin Zi'an as if to assess him: "Second Master, have you forgotten the 800,000 taels of silver that the Empress Dowager gave you before leaving Beijing?"

Could it be that the Second Young Master Qin wants to embezzle this huge sum of money?

Hehehe! As long as he is not afraid of being beheaded by the Queen Mother.

Qin Xu's face suddenly turned dark.

Of course, the Qin family didn't dare to embezzle the empress dowager's money. However, anyone who came to accept the empress dowager's reward with joy only to find out that she was the one demanding the debt would be in a bad mood.

How short of money is the Queen Mother?

Qin Zian said quickly: "I haven't forgotten, I haven't forgotten. I was thinking about going to the palace to pay my respects to the Queen Mother tomorrow."

It was all in vain; the Queen Mother is so stingy.

She had actually been remembering the eight hundred thousand taels. As the empress dowager, could she still be short of these eight hundred thousand taels?

We are all members of the Qin family. So what if we give this money to the Qin family?

Qin Zian secretly complained in his heart, but did not dare to show any strange expression on his face.

Yu En laughed again: "I won't bother sending it to the palace tomorrow. The Queen Mother asked me to take it back now. The Queen Mother also asked me to congratulate the Second Young Master on her behalf. Although the Queen Mother has provided money to help, the Second Young Master still needs to be brave and resourceful to successfully eliminate the bandits."

What I meant was, why don't you thank me for allowing the Qin family to gain such a great benefit.

Qin Xu was so angry that he choked, his mouth twitching, and he said with a fake smile: "I was planning to bring Zi'an to the palace to express my gratitude. Since the eunuch is here, please convey my gratitude to the empress dowager. Come on..."

Qin Xu called the steward, gave him a few instructions, and asked Qin Zian to prepare the silver.

Yu En said with a smile: "Master Qin is thoughtful. I will tell the Queen Mother the truth."

Returning to the Cining Palace, Yu En handed the box of silver to the Queen Mother and said with a smile, "Queen Mother, in addition to the 800,000 taels of silver, Prime Minister Qin has presented another 20,000 taels."

The Queen Mother rolled her eyes upon hearing this, and said with a tone of disdain, "I helped Qin Zi'an achieve such a great feat, but the Qin family got the benefit for nothing, and Qin Xu only gave out 20,000 taels? The older he gets, the stingier he becomes, and he treats me like a beggar."

"My Yinyin took out 800,000 taels without saying a word to help me with my plan. The 20,000 taels Qin Xu gave me are not enough to fill the gap between my teeth."

Yu En stood aside with an embarrassed expression: "Master Qin, don't dare to have such an idea."

Who dares to treat the Queen Mother as a beggar?

However, compared with what the Princess gave, Prime Minister Qin’s gift was not good enough.

The next day, Gu Zhiyin received the silver sent by Yu En. After the others left, he opened it and found that there was an extra 100,000 taels.

So he hurried into the palace with the silver note.

Yu En had just finished replying to the Queen Mother, and when he came out of the bedroom and saw Gu Zhiyin, he was dumbfounded.

"Princess Princess?"

Gu Zhiyin nodded and said, "Eunuch Yu."

"The Empress Dowager is inside. Is there some urgent matter that brought the Princess to the palace suddenly?" Yu En asked.

Gu Zhiyin paused and asked Yu En, "Eunuch, why is there an extra 100,000 taels?"

Yu En was stunned for a moment, and said, "Prime Minister Qin gave it to me."

Gu Zhiyin stared in astonishment: "Grandma gave it all to me?"

Yu En: “… Yeah!”

Gu Zhiyin: "Prime Minister Qin is quite good to the Queen Mother. He gave her such a large sum of money as soon as he said so. But I can't take it."

As she spoke, she walked towards the bedroom.
