Spring Courtyard Forbidden Pet

Li Chengge became even angrier.

Ever since Ye Rong passed away, there hasn't been a single day when he could feel at ease!

"Now that the general is back, I'm sure he won't let us go back empty-handed." One of the debt collectors smiled, but his heart was full of contempt. "We all know that the Marquis' Mansion doesn't have a mistress to help out right now, so things are a bit complicated."

"But since the general is in charge, he will surely be able to resolve it."

The other two also echoed, "That's right, that's right. Military affairs are no problem for the general, and our few silver coins are even less of a problem."

Li Chengge put his hands behind his back, enjoying the compliment, but he had no money in his pocket, "It's just two pieces of clothing, why did you come to the Marquis' Mansion so late?"

"Let's all go back. I'll have someone escort them there tomorrow."

The three shopkeepers looked at each other in bewilderment. They were well aware of the financial difficulties of the Marquis' Mansion. If it weren't for the fact that Li Chengge was a new noble, they would never have made clothes for Zheng.

"We dare not trouble the general's people. We are already here, so it doesn't matter if we come today or tomorrow."

"That's right. The cloth is expensive, and our shop is a small business. I'm waiting for cash to replenish the stock. I hope the general will understand."

"I will kowtow to the general, so we can just not wait until tomorrow, okay?"

The three of them were in a humble and helpless manner, but they cursed Li Chengge in their hearts! Why pretend to be rich when you don't have money? Look at Zheng's face two days ago. She didn't have money but still wanted to compete with the ladies of Beppu. What a piece of shit!

For the sake of a prostitute's daughter, Miss Ye, who had a good reputation, abandoned her. Now she has lost her financial support. Everyone knows that the Marquis's Mansion is pretending to be the big shot.

Li Chengge's eyes were deep. "Dozens of taels of silver, are you afraid that the Marquis' Mansion can't afford it? Get lost now."

"General, you misunderstood. The three of us have ordered a total of two hundred taels, not a few dozen taels."

Two hundred taels? !

No matter how calm Li Chengge was, he couldn't help showing surprise at this moment. Could the clothes be made of gold? How could they cost only two hundred taels?

"You bastard, you think this general is easy to deceive and the money from the Marquis' Mansion is easy to extort, right? What kind of material costs two hundred taels to make clothes?"

Seeing that he was anxious, the three of them came prepared and presented the account books one by one. Li Chengge looked carefully under the dim lantern in front of the door. Only then did he know that Zheng had spent tens of thousands of years of silver on clothes over the years. No wonder Ye Zhen said that he would not pay if he didn't pay!

The three of them knelt down and looked like they would not leave until they got the money. Li Chengge was so angry that he had a headache.

Just when he was at his wit's end and was about to get angry and drive him away, Ye Xue came out in small steps, threw down a bag of silver, and said condescendingly, "You are such a dog-eyed person, do you really think the Marquis' Mansion can't come up with this money?"

"Get out of here now and stop making the general unhappy!"

When the three men saw the real money, they didn't care about anything else. They quickly hugged it in their arms and rolled away, fearing that Li Chengge would snatch it back if they were a second late.

Not only the servants in the Marquis' Mansion were dumbfounded, but Li Chengge was also dumbfounded.

It was not until Ye Xue led him into the room and helped him change his clothes that he suddenly grabbed her wrist and asked, "Where did you get so much money?"

Ye Xuexing's eyes were full of spring, "I am also a daughter of the Ye family. I have some profitable things in my hands, but I can't compare to my eldest sister and second sister."

"Aren't you happy to be able to share the general's worries?"

Li Chengge didn't doubt it after hearing that. He didn't think Ye Xue had any ability either. "I'll return the salary to you when it comes."

"I and the general's family are one family, there is no distinction between you and me." Ye Xue's soothing words finally made Li Chengge's brows relax.

"General, can you stay with me today?"

Ye Xue looked at him hesitantly, and put her hands into his clothes dishonestly. Li Chengge's eyes dimmed, but he did not stop her.

But he suddenly thought of Ye Zhen's cold and tough eyes. In addition, the commander of the North Camp conveyed Prince Yu's intention today and restored him to the position of deputy commander. The reason was that Ye Zhen saved Ruan. Because Ruan wanted to help Ye Zhen out, Prince Yu had to put pressure on him to sign the cancellation of the marriage certificate.

Restoring his position is considered as compensation to him.

Li Chengge sneered. After all the calculations, it seemed that he still benefited from Ye Zhen.

Seeing him hesitate, Ye Xue's heart sank, "Who are you thinking about, General?"

Li Chengge lowered his head and covered her lips, but Ye Xue was unhappy.

Ye Xue suddenly had money, and Zheng rarely gave her face. Li Chengge gave her Ningguang Courtyard where Ye Zhen used to live, and spoiled her as before. However, she hinted several times, but Li Chengge had no intention of letting her take charge of Zhongkui.

She would send good things to Zheng from time to time to try to get close to her, but Zheng's appetite had been spoiled and ordinary goods were not to her liking. Although Zheng accepted the gifts, he would not speak for her.

Coming out of the Lan Courtyard, Ye Xue stamped her feet, "This old man, he said he didn't want it, but he still stayed anyway."

"I'm just feeding a dog and it still wags its tail. I gave her all the money and it didn't make any difference."

After Hong Luo was dealt with by Cui Shi with much ado, she continued to stay with Ye Xue. Now she supported her back to Ningguang Courtyard and said, "Don't send her anything. When she needs something, she will ask you for it. Then you can handle it."

Ye Xue's heart brightened, "What you said makes sense."

"Go back to the Ye Mansion this afternoon and tell my wife to ask her people to be more efficient. I don't have enough money here. The Prince of Yu's Mansion sent an invitation to the Spring Festival Banquet today. This is my first time to show up in public, so I have to make two sets of nice clothes."

"Slaves save it."

Ye Mansion.

Hongluo sneaked out through the back door, and Rongfei immediately came back to report to Ye Zhen.

"Aunt Zhao's acquaintances are all bad people, and they can't do anything good. Send a few of your trusted aides to keep an eye on them and make sure they don't find out." Ye Zhen gave an order and continued to select the materials at hand.

The Prince of Yu's Mansion sent two invitations to the Ye family, the first one was for Ye Zhen, and the second one was for Cui.

Cui sent a few pieces of fabric for Ye Zhen to choose from in the afternoon. Both the color and pattern were simple and elegant. Ye Rong once said that she had a cool temperament and that if she dressed more simply, Li Chengge would like her. Cui had not yet given up this idea.

Secondly, she had just broken off her engagement, so it was not appropriate for her to dress too ostentatiously in front of others.

But this was Cui's idea, and it had nothing to do with her.

Ye Zhen told Liuxia, "I remember there is a long-sleeved shirt with sunflower-colored embroidery in the closet. It will go perfectly with the misty green skirt."

Liuxia immediately pushed the material beside her, and was obviously in high spirits. "Yes, I made this dress after the New Year. At that time, the eldest lady said that it would be decent for you to wear it after you became the general's second wife."

Ye Zhen waved her round fan, looking very relaxed. "The happiest thing for me is that I don't have to work so hard in the Marquis' Mansion for the rest of my life."

Liuxia hesitated again, "I'm afraid Madam won't like it."

"I broke off the engagement and couldn't fulfill her and my elder sister's long-cherished wish. Can I dress according to her wishes so that she won't blame me?"

"It's not on the clothes at all. Why should I put myself in a difficult position to please others?"

Liuxia saw her lying in a rocking chair basking in the sun, and she seemed to be glowing from head to toe. The second young lady used to be beautiful, but she was always tense, doing things carefully, and often frowned behind people.

The second young lady now seemed to have broken free from her shackles and emerged as a butterfly from a cocoon. Even her hair was full of liveliness, which was really charming.

It turns out that women can live a more relaxed life without having to serve men.

In the blink of an eye, it was March 26th. Prince Yu's wet nurse, Ruan, held a spring banquet at her villa on the outskirts of the city. The garden was full of blooming white magnolias, which attracted a wave of literati every year. Prince Yu could also take the opportunity to recruit some talents under his command.
