"Your Highness, I went to the Ministry of Works. Today is not an open day, so ordinary people cannot enter."

"I went to find Lord Murong, and Lord Murong specifically called an official from the Ministry of Works, and that official looked at the list you wrote."

"The gentleman said that they are out of stock and need to place an order."

Cherry crawled on the ground, trembling with fear, ignoring the blood flowing from her knees, she was very scared.

She wasn't lying, but she wasn't telling the whole truth either.

When she went to the Ministry of Industry, she met the man at the gate.

It was a bit chaotic at the time because many people came to the Ministry of Industry to place orders.

As soon as Cherry got close to that person, she felt a little... confused and couldn't control herself.

Affection comes inexplicably.

Unfortunately, Cherry doesn't understand what physiological liking means.

Otherwise she wouldn't be so distressed.

"This young man..."

She couldn't control herself.

A voice in her heart told her to be brave, go up and talk to the other person.

Just this once, just once, be brave just once.

Unfortunately, one moment of bravery results in a lifetime of introversion.

Yan Jiu only heard someone calling him and turned around to look. Is that where?

"Son."

He heard a cat-like sound from his chin. He looked down and saw a woman, who was not even as tall as his chest, looking at him with watery eyes.

It looks familiar.

But I can't remember.

But it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter.

"What do you want me to do?"

"I..." Cherry blushed instantly, trying to keep her sanity, "Master, excuse me for a moment."

What Xiao Yuanshuang had told her was instantly forgotten by her.

Yan Jiu just frowned and said, "Wait a minute."

Then he turned to the person from the Ministry of Works in front of him and said, "After the items on this list are made and in this quantity, ask the escort agency to transport them to the Dazhou government office."

"This is the deposit."

Of the five hundred taels of silver His Majesty bestowed on him, he used four hundred taels to purchase things for the Ministry of Works.

When these things are transported to Dazhou, they will benefit many, many ordinary people.

The people from the Ministry of Works took his list with a smile, "Lord Yan is about to take up his post in Suizhou, but he still cares about the people of Dazhou. That's really remarkable."

"I will give you the lowest discount so you can buy more things."

"Don't worry, the Shangshu will not blame you."

"It is a blessing for the people of Daqing to have an official like you."

"Yes, yes, Mr. Gongbu is a really good person."

"Master Yan, you are also a good person."

Yan Jiu had never been praised like this before, and his face turned red.

He turned out to be the prefect of Suizhou, and an official who cared so much about the people.

Cherry's love for her grew even stronger.

After finally waiting for Yan Jiu to be free, Cherry hurried forward, her little face as red as a peach blossom.

"Sir...I..."

"Why are you hesitating so much?" Yan Jiu didn't have much patience.

Fortunately, this is not Dazhou. If my wife saw me and another girl flirting on the street, I would break the washboard by kneeling on it when I get home.

Thinking that Yan Jiu would probably leave the capital for Suizhou soon, we would never see each other again.

Cherry made up her mind and asked the question in her mind.

"Sir, do you have a wife at home?"

Her face felt hot as she said this.

She had never been so bold in her life, nor had she ever said such shameless words, but there was nothing she could do. She was in a foreign country and no one could help her to act as a matchmaker or pass on the message.

Yan Jiu just took two steps back to distance himself from Yingtao.

"What do you mean?"

"I already have several children, and I have no intention of taking a concubine. I can't afford to support them."

"Girl, you should find someone else to marry."

Yan Jiu just didn't say anything.

Someone nearby glanced at her sideways, and Cherry felt so ashamed that tears welled up in her eyes.

"Ahhh, don't cry, I didn't do anything to you."

woo woo woo woo--

Cherry couldn't stand it anymore, so she covered her face and left. The guards waiting outside the Ministry of Works didn't know what was going on and hurried to catch up.

Because of this delay, even after Cherry calmed down, she was too embarrassed to return to the Ministry of Industry.

He simply went to the Ministry of Rites and asked Murong Anle for help in the name of Xiao Yuanshuang.

Therefore, Cherry's reply to her master was not considered a lie. At most, she just did not give a complete explanation.

This was the first time she lied to Xiao Yuanshuang.

Because of a man who can't get him.

Thinking of this, I felt so sad that tears started to flow.

The pain in my knee is nothing, it is far less than the pain in my heart.

Seeing her crying so sadly, Xiao Yuanshuang calmed down.

"You can't even do such a small thing, why are you crying?"

"Get up, go treat your wound, and don't hang around in front of me for the next two days."

"Yes," Cherry stood up and walked out with her head down.

Xiao Yuanshuang felt like something was not going right.

There was no progress on Li Xuanji's side.

She tried every possible means, but she didn't even get a chance to be alone with him.

No, we can't go on like this.

After walking around the room a few times, she had an idea.

Since Li Xuanji and Murong Yue's path is blocked, he will find another way.

"Someone, bring the second prince here."

"Yes."

Jiaofang Division.

Ruan is as fragrant as jade.

Xiao Yuanche was lying on the bed, holding Miss Rumeng in one hand and a wine glass in the other.

The follower lowered his head even lower.

Before, when he was answering, he just stood outside the door. These past few days, the Second Prince even got out of bed and asked him to come into the room to answer.

Even so, he didn't dare to look up.

"Your Highness, it is true that we cannot withdraw the banknotes. The manager of Hengyue Bank did say so."

Xiao Yuanche put down his wine glass with a serious look on his face.

"Impossible. Hengyue Bank is owned by Vietnamese people. I know how much money is there."

"I only took 500,000 taels of silver notes, how come I can't get an advance?"

Of course, the money houses opened by the Vietnamese people would provide convenience to the Vietnamese royal family.

With the token, one can withdraw three million taels of silver without collateral from Hengyue Bank anywhere.

Just pay it back within a certain period of time.

The purpose is to make it easier for the royal family to travel outside.

This money is also used for emergencies and life-saving.

Could it be that the prince has been secretly using money recently?

What would the prince do with such a large sum of money for no reason?

The attendant replied again, "The shopkeeper said...the third princess withdrew two million taels and two silver notes a few days ago."

"what?"

"Xiao Yuanshuang? The Third Princess?"

"Yes, your highness, that's what the shopkeeper said."

"Why does she need so much silver? And she didn't even discuss it with me? I haven't heard from other ministers either, so they definitely don't know either."

"What on earth is this crazy girl going to do?"

Two million taels is not a small amount.

What exactly does Xiao Yuanshuang want to do?

He didn't care about anything else and had to hurry back to Lingxi Palace to find out what was going on.

Everyone left and the room returned to silence.

Miss Rumeng got out of bed and opened the window. The cold wind blew in, making her thin clothes billow.

It was as if the cold wind was blowing away the breath on his body.

The old mother pushed the door open and was startled.

"Oh, my girl, be careful of the cold."

The old mother quickly closed the window.

With a bit of heartache in his eyes, he said, "Thank you for your hard work. The adults said, just bear with it for a few more days."
