He Jingheng's voice made Zhang and He Jinghe's hearts tremble.

Over the years, He Jingheng seldom cared about the affairs of the palace. In a year, it was considered a lot if he could spend dozens of days in the palace.

But this does not mean that the He family is not afraid of him.

You know, He Jingheng survived the battle among thousands of troops.

When he was really angry, the evil spirit in him was no less than that of the Asura in hell.

"Jingheng, your brother just said it casually, don't take it seriously, don't take it seriously." Zhang smiled apologetically, fearing that she would really anger He Jingheng.

"Now that my mother has handed over the housekeeping power to Ruoyi, she has the final say over the entire He family. If she says she won't give it to you, then you can't take a single cent of the things here."

He Jinghe was unwilling in his heart, but he didn't dare to challenge him. The pain on his face was still there, reminding him all the time that the brother in front of him should not be provoked.

Just then, He Yunyi helped the old princess out of the room.

Zhang saw this and hurried forward: "Mother."

"Humph!" The old princess glanced at her and said coldly, "Now you know how to call me mother! Didn't you stay away from us when you were down and out?"

Zhang's smile froze, knowing that the old princess was mocking her, but at the moment, as long as they could return to the He family, what would it matter if she mocked them? At least they could have enough food and clothes, and there were servants to serve them.

It happened that Mrs. Qiao came out with a quilt to dry in the sun, and Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "Mother, look, Yan Xin has returned to the He family now, let us come back too! I will serve you."

Shang Ruoyi sneered. Zhang's calculations were really good! They said they were going to serve the old lady, but in fact they wanted to come back to the He family to eat and drink for free. She would not let them do what they wanted and end up raising a bunch of termites to make trouble for herself.

However, I can make things difficult for her first.

"If Second Aunt wants to go back to the He family, it's not impossible." Shang Ruoyi walked forward and looked at her and He Jingheng with a smile.

"really?"

"In a few days, we will build a house and need a lot of workers. Then Second Uncle and Jinghe can come to build the house. We will provide them with food and pay their wages."

"You want me to work for you?" He Jinghe said angrily, "Are you crazy? I am the master! I am here to be the master, how can I be a servant serving you?"

"Others can do it, why can't you do it?" He Zhiyuan stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "I knew you were a playboy. Now that it has come to this, you still refuse to mend your ways and still want to be the master. Dream on!"

"Third uncle, how come even you are deceived by her? I am your nephew." He Jinghe couldn't understand why Shang Ruoyi, a married daughter, had a higher status in the hearts of the He family than him. He cast his eyes on the old princess, trying to arouse his grandmother's sympathy, but when the old princess saw him, she couldn't stop thinking of the ridiculous things he had done, and just hoped to stay as far away from her as possible.

At this moment, He Ning'an walked out of the crowd, walked up to the old princess, and said with a sullen face: "Mom, I just want to ask you a question, do you care about our family of three or not?"

He just saw clearly that there was a whole cart of food being carried into the house like water. His son was right, why shouldn't they have a share?

"Second brother, why should mother care about you? Didn't you disdain to be with us during the exile? When mother was sick several times, when did you come to see her? Now that we are doing well, you want to come and share a piece of the pie, how can such a good thing be possible?" He Zhiyuan snorted coldly: "When you were in the palace in the early years, you were greedy for pleasure, and you are still the same now, so Jinghe has become like you."

"It's not your turn to teach me a lesson!" He Ning'an waved him aside, looked at the old princess gloomily and said, "Mother, you are determined not to care about me, right? It's not that you don't have money right now, and you can support our family of three. What else do you need? I am the prince of the county, and Jinghe is the prince's son. How can we be compared with those people of all walks of life?"

The people standing outside the yard were very unhappy when they heard this. What does "all kinds of people" mean? Who are you talking about?

Many of them were exiled officials from the imperial court, so when they heard He Ningan's words, their brows furrowed. He Ningan didn't want to fight. His words actually aroused public indignation.

Seeing that the old princess did not answer, he said coldly: "In that case, then give me the money for the division of the family!"

Split up?

Shang Ruoyi understood. It turned out that the second house had been making such a fuss just because of this.

"How do we divide it?"

"Divide what you bought into three parts, and we'll take one part."

Shang Ruoyi sneered. After her grandmother's jewelry was exchanged for silver, she couldn't even buy these things. She still wanted to take one third of it directly. It was simply a dream.

"No." Shang Ruoyi's voice sounded.

He Ning'an had always looked down on Shang Ruoyi. Now that she openly contradicted him, he angrily said, "The elders are here, how can you have a say?"

"Uncle, you are wrong. Since I am the head of the He family, I have the final say on household matters." She took out a few pieces of paper and handed them to them. "When I went to the pawnshop to exchange silver today, I asked the pawnshop owner to write down how much silver we got for the things we sent. Grandmother, mother, and third aunt, please check if there is anything missing."

"Oh, kid, your aunt is giving you all the property because she is completely relieved. There is no need to calculate it so clearly. It will make things awkward." Lin smiled and did not look at the paper: "No need to look at it."

"Thank you, Third Aunt."

He Jingheng looked at her showing the accounts to the three people, except for himself, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.

In his understanding, Shang Ruoyi regarded the two of them as one, which was why she did not show him the accounts.

In fact, it was because Shang Ruoyi did not serve as his ring at all, so he could not produce the accounts.

The old princess looked at the accounts and nodded: "No problem, that's it."

Shang Ruoyi handed the old princess's bill to He Ning'an: "Uncle, take a look! Grandmother's jewelry was sold for a total of thirty taels, divided into three equal parts, which is ten taels." She took out ten taels of silver from her purse and handed it to her: "Here, uncle, this is your share."

Twelve!

How could it be just this little?

He Ning'an looked at her with a scrutinizing look in his eyes: "Did you forge this? Just to give us less money."

"If Second Uncle doesn't believe me, you can go to town and ask for yourself. The name of the shop is written on it." Shang Ruoyin sneered, "Besides, I can't predict the future. How can I predict that Second Uncle will come to my house today and ask for money?"

He Ning'an looked at her and was about to take the silver away when he heard Shang Ruoyi's voice: "Second Uncle, if you take this silver today, we will be completely separated."
