At the end, Huber's voice was choked with sobs.

As Chen Zhan's son, Chen Fusheng has never lacked food and clothing. How could he treat Chen Changan like this?

This kind of treatment is totally different!

Chen Hongluo stood there in a daze, and Chen Zhan turned back gloomily.

Looking at Chu Yanran: "Is this what you said, you will take care of the household affairs and ensure that I have no worries at home?"

Chu Yanran gritted her teeth fiercely, frowned and said, "Uncle Hu, you don't have to cry poor for Chen Changan. Didn't I give you enough monthly salary?"

"He doesn't want to buy clothes, what does it have to do with me?"

Several sisters nodded and agreed.

"The monthly salary of the Prince of Huainan is not small. Mother is right."

"I understand. Chen Hanzi did this on purpose to cause discord between our parents."

"He has evil ambitions. He should be killed!"

Hu Bo's body trembled slightly, he couldn't listen any longer!

His heart was bleeding, and he gritted his teeth and said, "Princess Chen, how much money does the Ninth Prince have?"

"When he first returned to the palace, you said you were afraid he would spend the money recklessly, so you only gave him five taels of silver per month. The Ninth Prince spent almost all of this money on the princess."

"Later, he left Shengzi Academy and studied at Qingfeng Academy for free, didn't he?"

"The monthly salary of five taels was cut to four and a half taels by the Ninth Prince. I only eat one steamed bun a day, and my body is very weak."

"It's not that he doesn't want to buy clothes, it's that he really doesn't have the money!"

Hu Bo turned his head away and shed tears.

Outsiders all said that Chen Changan was lucky, as he was able to make the leap from an orphan to a wealthy family.

But only Hu Bo knows how Chen Changan has been living these years!

...Not as good as a dog!

The dog can still have enough food at home!

All the sisters were stunned.

The King of Huainan was not short of money. Any random item in his house could be sold for at least several thousand taels of silver.

But no one could have imagined that Chen Changan was living such a miserable life?

Chen Hongluo was the eldest princess after all, her eyes were red, "Mom, what Uncle Hu said... is it true?"

Everyone looked at Chu Yanran with anticipation.

Chu Yanran shook her head vigorously: "Fake!"

"I deliberately lowered Hanzi's monthly salary for his own good. Later, I forgot about it and thought he was treated the same as you."

"Uncle Hu, call the accountant over and ask him!"

Uncle Hu couldn't persuade Chu Yanran, so he had to go and call the accountant.

Chu Yanran looked at Chen Zhan and took the initiative to speak: "Husband, I didn't deliberately deduct Hanzi's monthly salary!"

"If there was no money, would Hanzi be away from home for so many days?"

"What to eat and drink? Won't he starve to death?"

Chen Zhan frowned, as if... what Chu Yanran said made sense.

Chen Zhan looked around Chen Changan's stable and finally waved his hand: "Boss, you stay here and look for any special clues."

"Everyone else follow me back to the front yard. It stinks here."

Chen Zhan sighed heavily.

Chen Changan couldn't stand staying in this room for a while. It was hard to imagine how Chen Changan had lived in the past few years.

Back to the front yard and just sat down.

Uncle Hu came over with the accountant and the account book.

Chu Yanran's face darkened: "Accountant Guo, tell me honestly, how much is Chen Hanzi's monthly salary?"

Accountant Guo originally wanted to check the account book, but when he heard Chu Yanran ask this, he immediately relaxed.

"Replying to the princess, five taels."

Chu Yanran slammed the table and said, "Bullshit! I'm not asking about the past, I'm asking about now!"

Accountant Guo was trembling all over. He quickly knelt down in front of Chu Yanran, holding the account book in both hands.

"Yes, yes... now."

"The princess has ordered that the Ninth Prince be given only five taels of silver per month. It has never been increased in the past six years. You said so."

"Fizz!"

Accountant Guo turned pale with fright, and all the sisters gasped!

Even Chen Chunhua and Chen Qiuyue had expressions of disbelief on their faces.

Five taels...

Not even enough for a meal out!

"Five taels? Show it to me!"

Chen Zhan obviously didn't believe it and took out the account book to check it carefully.

When he was ten years old, Chen Changan was illiterate and could only draw circles with a brush.

But the further you turn, the more beautiful Chen Changan's handwriting becomes, and there is a hint of sharpness in it, like a general fighting on the battlefield.

Chen Zhan clenched his fists: "Madam, do you want to give me an explanation?"

Chu Yanran knew she was in the wrong.

But it is impossible to make her admit her mistake!

"Yes, it was my negligence, but what's wrong with giving him five taels?"

"He developed a habit of being dishonest in Ciyoufang. Who knows if he stole things from the Huainan Palace and sold them?"

"If nothing else, I saw him steal my golden dress!"

Chen Zhan frowned, and the other sisters also reacted.

"Hanzi did steal mother's golden dress, and couldn't wait to put it on in mother's bedroom, and even touched it."

"Luckily my mother saw it. The golden dress is worth a fortune!"

"Dad, we can all testify that Hanzi has silver on him, definitely!"

The sisters were talking at once, and Chen Zhan was also confused.

He had been in the military camp for a long time and had no time to care about things at home. Could it be that Chen Changan really stole something?

That's so hateful!

Chu Yanran felt more at ease, nodded and said, "Husband, I admit that a monthly salary of five taels is a bit too little."

"But Chen Hanzi has dirty hands and feet, I'm afraid he will learn bad things!"

"Besides, studying in the Holy Son Academy, five taels of silver is definitely enough for him to live for a month."

Chu Yanran was so sure about what she said, and Chen Zhan had no way of saying anything.

King Huainan waved his hand feebly: "I don't know the truth of the matter. After all... Hanzi disappeared."

"What if it disappears? Just find it back!"

Chu Yanran didn't take it to heart: "When he comes back, make him kneel in front of the Chen family's ancestral tablets and teach him a lesson!"

"If we don't take care of this child, he will be ruined. It's over. The Huainan Palace has trained a petty thief!"

Chen Zhan was upset and asked attentively, "Uncle Hu, did the boss find anything in Hanzi's room?"

Just as Hu Bo was about to go look for her, Chen Hongluo walked in with red eyes.

"Dad, Mom, there is nothing else in Hanzi's room."

"There was only an old wooden box with a thick book inside, locked. I think it was the diary of Hanzi after he returned home."

"There is also a pair of unfinished straw sandals. Apart from that, there is nothing else."

Chen Zhan could not hide the disappointment in his eyes.

Chen Hongluo sat opposite them and said in a trembling voice: "I feel...uncomfortable."

"Jiuhanzi is my biological brother. Mother didn't give him any money. He didn't even have money to buy clothes, shoes, or mend clothes..."

"How did Hanzi survive these long six years?"

The sisters all laughed out loud.

"I just talked about this problem. It depends on stealing!"

"That's right, Hanzi even stole Fourth Sister's medicine and kept applying it on his face!"

"I don't even want to talk about it, but he even stole my bellyband!"

Finally, the topic returned to the issue of Chen Hanzi's theft.

Chen Zhan waved his hand and said, "It's late today. Let's wait until the rain subsides tomorrow and look for him all over the city."

Chen Zhan took Chu Yanran out of the room, and the sisters also returned to their rooms laughing.

Chen Hongluo moved her lips but said nothing.

My father may not realize the seriousness of the matter.

Think about these six years, Chen Changan had no money to spend, no food to eat, no clothes to wear...

After leaving the Huainan Palace, at least I can fill my stomach!

Will he come back?
