The Royal Family's Orphan is on the Rise

Not wanting his family to be harmed by himself and his daughter, Xu's father mustered up the courage to speak up.

"This is my property. Please forgive us, Princess."

"How much is your family property?" Father Xu didn't expect the princess to ask so directly.

Father Xu presented the exquisite wooden box to Shen Jiarou, who glanced at Ruan Qingling.

Ruan Qingling stepped forward to take it, and when she felt the weight inside, she was stunned.

"Princess."

Zhen Luosang received the look, opened the box, and Shen Jiarou took a look.

"Bank notes?"

Zhen Luosang took out everything inside.

"Princess, here are the property deeds and land titles."

Shen Jiarou held a stack of banknotes in her uninjured left hand and looked up at Xu's father.

"How much is this banknote?"

Father Xu's attitude was extremely respectful: "Here are five thousand taels. I can go back and prepare some more."

Shen Jiarou didn't say anything, but the person in front of her seemed to be asking for help.

"What is your ultimate sincerity?"

Father Xu and Father Jiang looked at each other, both of them were stunned.

When he opened his mouth, Shen Jiarou said, "Think it over before you speak. This princess doesn't like bargaining, nor does she like to listen to nonsense."

Father Xu did not dare to test him, and said sincerely: "We have 50,000 taels of silver in cash at home, and there should be 50,000 taels of silver notes as well."

Shen Jiarou didn't say anything. Father Xu couldn't figure out her background, so he had to speak again.

"I also have some gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, calligraphy and paintings in my home. If the princess is interested, I will give them to her."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes slightly and found that sweat was dripping down Xu's father's forehead.

"Well, Eunuch Liu, go back and report to my father that I forgive the Xu family for the accidental injury."

Liu Xu asked, "Princess, where is the jade pendant?"

Shen Jiarou looked at him: "Is this also my responsibility?"

Liu Xu shook her head: "I will report the truth to the emperor."

"Okay." Shen Jiarou nodded slightly, then looked at Mr. Xu and Mr. Jiang.

"You two, please step back."

Father Xu fell to his knees with a thud, and Shen Jiarou was startled.

"Why?"

"Princess, please ask the emperor for mercy for our Xu family. There are hundreds of people in our Xu family. Considering that they are also your people, please be kind and ask the emperor for mercy."

Shen Jiarou was confused by what she heard and looked at Jiang's father who was standing there.

"What does he mean?"

Father Jiang bowed respectfully and said, "Princess, the jade pendant was given by the Emperor. According to Dalin law, anyone who damages an imperial gift will be punished with a beating at the least or exiled and his entire family will be executed at the worst."

Shen Jiarou was shocked: "Ah, is it so serious?"

She really didn't know this, and she didn't pay much attention to it.

Shen Jiarou looked at Nanny Wang and said, "Nanny Wang, how much is the jade pendant that my father gave me?"

Nanny Wang frowned: "Princess, this is hard to say."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyebrows: "Why?"

Father Jiang bowed again and said, "Princess, the imperial jade pendant has a different meaning and cannot be compared with ordinary jade pendants."

Shen Jiarou sighed. She had been listening here for a long time and was exhausted.

"Based on the composition and craftsmanship of the Dancong jade, not counting other things, how much is it worth?"

Nanny Wang pondered and said, "That is a rare jade. After being carved, it is worth at least 10,000 taels."

Shen Jiarou and the others took a deep breath: "Is it so valuable? Considering that your daughter has no intention, this princess has a solution."

Father Xu looked up in surprise and asked, "May I ask what method Princess has?"

"The jade pendant is worth 10,000 taels, so you should pay 20,000 taels as compensation, and donate another 10,000 taels to the national treasury. Then let Miss Xu stay in the mansion for half a year and copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times. Then the emperor may agree."

Shen Jiarou looked up at Father Xu again: "Just tell this to my father, the princess. See what he means, and the rest is up to fate."

She has done what she can and there is nothing else she can do to help.

Father Xu said with a sad face: "Princess, I beg you to go and speak for me."

Nanny Wang scolded: "How dare you! You can't order the princess around."

Feng Jinghan walked in: "Princess, Lord Jiang, Lord Zhou, Lord Song, and Lord Nan want to see you."

"Those four adults who helped us build the house?"

Feng Jinghan bowed: "Yes."

Shen Jiarou saw Father Xu lying on the ground and Father Jiang standing, and smiled slightly.

"Quite smart."

Father Xu was anxious: "Princess, it's not true. Please listen to my explanation..."

Shen Jiarou smiled wryly and said, "That's enough. There are too many explanations and too many loopholes. You should get up. You may get sick from kneeling for too long."

Led by the guards, the four adults walked into the main hall one by one. When they saw the figures of Father Xu and Father Jiang, they were all stunned.

"I see you, princess."

Shen Jiarou raised her eyes slightly.

"No need to be polite, just tell me what you want to say." She wanted to go back and rest.

Several people explained the reasons for their visit one by one, and finally Shen Jiarou agreed to go to the palace, and everyone left.

Seeing his daughter, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty placed his gaze on Shen Jiarou's right hand.

"How is your hand? Can I change the dressing today? Does it still hurt?"

Shen Jiarou sighed softly: "You asked three questions in a row, which one should I answer first?"

Emperor Yuan Shun smiled cheerfully: "It's my father's fault. You can answer it yourself."

"My hand is better now. I changed the dressing today, but it still hurts a little."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty sighed and looked distressed.

"You have been punished for nothing."

Shen Jiarou sighed, "Maybe I've been having bad luck lately. By the way, Father, the Xu family offered a hundred thousand taels of silver, as well as some land, shops, gold, silver and jewelry. I have decided not to care about the Xu family's daughter accidentally hurting me."

Emperor Yuan Shun raised his eyebrows: "Have you considered it?"

"Ah."

"What about the jade pendant?"

Shen Jiarou looked at Emperor Shun of Yuan cautiously.

"I heard that the jade pendant awarded by your father is worth 10,000 taels. I suggest that the Xu family pay 20,000 taels and donate another 10,000 taels to the national treasury. Let the daughter of the Xu family stay in the palace for half a year and copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times. What do you think, father?"

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, you are becoming more and more thoughtful."

Shen Jiarou sighed helplessly: "After spending more time with smart people, you will become smarter."

Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty was so amused that he couldn't help laughing out loud, and his hearty laughter filled the entire imperial study.

Li Jiang and Liu Xu couldn't help laughing after hearing this.

Shen Jiarou and Ruan Qingling looked at each other in silence.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. We'll all go to the palace. Or should we stay in the palace to recuperate?"

Shen Jiarou pursed her lips slightly: "That's fine."

It just so happened that she hadn't seen her father, mother, grandmother, third sister, and brother Crown Prince for a long time.

Everyone in Fanghua Palace was excited to see the princess return.

Aunt Zhenhua stepped forward and asked, "Princess, how is your hand?"

The crowd also gathered around and asked questions with concern.

"Yes, Princess, how are your hands?"

"It is recovering, so don't worry."

Liu Xu left the palace again. It was the second day, and he came to Xu Mansion to publicize the imperial edict.

"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims: The case of Xu Zhixia, the daughter of Lord Xu, who accidentally injured Princess Yongkang, is dismissed after the princess forgives her.

As for the imperial gift of the jade pendant, you must pay 20,000 taels of silver as compensation, and Xu Zhixia must be confined to his home for half a year and copy Buddhist scriptures a thousand times. This is my decree."

Liu Xu put away the imperial edict and said, "Master Xu, the emperor said that everything should be done according to Princess Yongkang's wishes."

Father Xu was pleasantly surprised and said repeatedly, "Yes."

Liu Xu brought the silver back to the palace. Looking at the 10,000 taels of silver donated by Lord Xu and the 20,000 taels of silver given by the princess, Emperor Shun of Yuan Dynasty put them away with a smile.
