He said to himself: I hope Shi didn't take his money, I hope Li An was mistaken.

But sometimes things happen so suddenly, and whatever you fear will happen.

His private treasury was now empty, as it contained his salary over the years and the gifts given to him by his officials.

Some things are even not allowed to be seen in public, but now they have been looted by the Shi family. This, this, this...

This is the result of his years of hard work and planning!

The blood rushed to his head and Hua Tang felt dizzy. He rolled his eyes and fell backwards.

"Master, Master..." Li An struggled to support Hua Tang's 150-160 lb body, fearing that he would go to paradise in a fit of excitement.

When he recovered, he pushed Li An away and left in two steps.

Passing through a flower garden, crossing two archways and passing through a corridor, Shi's courtyard is in front of you.

He strode in, ignoring the surprise of the old woman at the door.

"Bitch, open the door!" Hua Tang went straight to Shi's room, afraid of hitting her door. Seeing that Shi stayed inside and refused to come out, he kicked the door open in anger. Unexpectedly, Shi was already behind the door. The door bounced back and hit her hard, causing her to sit on the ground.

Hua Tang was so angry that he wanted to lift Shi up. He had already grabbed Shi's neck, but Shi was too fat and couldn't lift her up. He threw Shi down heavily and kicked her. "You bitch, bitch, how dare you? How dare you touch my property? You want to kill me, don't you? You want to harm our Prime Minister's Mansion, don't you?"

Huatang felt unsatisfied and kicked him hard several more times.

"I'm going to kill you, kill you!" Hua Tang's ferocious look was the most ferocious that Shi had ever seen in her life, and she was terrified.

Although Huatang had not doted on her as much as he did on other concubines over the years, he still showed her at least some respect. After all, she still had to rely on herself and the support of the Shi family.

Huatang still felt unsatisfied, so he launched a barrage of punches and kicks at Shi.

Shi was beaten so hard that he couldn't recover.

She had just come back from there after pacifying Hua Jin, and was extremely tired. She dismissed her attendants and wanted to think alone about how to explain to Hua Tang.

I took the master's things without permission today. I wonder what kind of trouble he will make when he comes back.

Before I could think of a solution, he came and started taking action right away.

Shi was most afraid of pain. No one had ever hit her in all these years, and she was in so much pain.

"Master, please listen to my explanation. Don't fight me anymore, Master..."

Her screams attracted the attention of the maids and servants, and when they arrived, Shi had already been beaten black and blue.

"Bitch, I want to divorce you, divorce you! Someone, quickly bring me a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone..."

When Hua Jin heard the noise, she rushed over immediately and saw Shi being beaten like a dead pig. Her father kept saying that he wanted to divorce her, and Hua Jin was suddenly overwhelmed.

Shi was also terrified. She tried to stand up, "Hua Tang, what did you say? You want to divorce me!"

"That's right! You, a slut, actually gave away all the wealth of my Prime Minister's Mansion for your own selfish reasons. Such a mistress is simply a disaster!"

Huatang was so angry that he grabbed the vase next to him and smashed it on Shi's head. Shi watched Huatang's actions and was unable to react at all. The next moment, a bloody wound appeared on the right temple.

"Mom." Hua Jin's voice trembled with fear.

"Shi." Hua Tang showed no pity. "Once the divorce letter is received today, you will no longer be the mistress of the Xiangfu Mansion. I will take care of Jin'er's marriage in the future..."

"What did you say? Who do you want to make the mistress, Wang or Meng?"

"It's none of your business who it is!"

"Master!" Shi roared, "My family paid you more than this silver back then. Now I am only doing this for Jin'er's future. It won't be long before my father calms down and he will naturally send money. Why are you so impatient?"

Divorce? He doesn't deserve it!

Now, Shi regretted his rude words to Shi Zhengxiang.

"Father, what mother said is right. Jin'er has already sent someone to my grandparents' house. I believe they will send money over soon..."

Hua Jin was also afraid. If her father divorced her mother, the mistress of the prime minister's mansion would have to be replaced. Wouldn't she be the next Hua Jianli?

"Yes! Our Jin'er is the future queen mother. If the world knew that her mother was just a woman who was not presentable, how would others look at her, and how would they look at the Prime Minister's Mansion..." Shi was extremely disappointed with Huatang. She deeply understood what it meant that husband and wife are birds of a feather, but fly away separately when disaster strikes.

Hua Jin knew that even though she was still a legitimate daughter, her mother was not her biological mother, so everything was in vain. She knelt down in front of Hua Tang and said, "Father! Mother is right. The royal family pays attention to rules and doctrines. Jin'er's biological mother cannot be a concubine!"

Hua Tang actually had his own considerations. Their Hua family had no branches in the capital. If he wanted the Hua family to become bigger and stronger, the Shi family, as their backer, could not fail.

"Okay, I'll wait for two days. I'll let you take the position of mistress for now, but you have to hand over the food."

what?

Hand over the household expenses, "So what? ..."

Shi was about to refuse, but Hua Jin stopped her, "Mother, just obey father!"

Hua Jin has her own plans. Now that the Prime Minister's Mansion has been emptied, the position of the head of the cabinet has become meaningless. To put it bluntly, it is a hot potato. Who would dare to take over?

Shi naturally didn't think of this. She just thought Hua Jin was giving in to Hua Tang. Her face was full of resistance and she shook her head like a rattle.

Asking her to hand over the household expenses is equivalent to giving up the position of mistress, which would be given to the other bitches for nothing.

Hua Jin pinched Shi and silently reminded her: Be patient.

Shi always knew that her daughter was a person with her own ideas, so she stopped talking.

"Since you have no objection, it's settled." Hua Tang said and walked away.

Shi was helped to stand up and couldn't wait to ask Hua Jin, "Jin'er, why did you agree to your father's conditions just now?"

Hua Jin looked at this mother who was as stupid as a pig and expressed her thoughts.

Shi suddenly realized, yes, it's just an empty shell, whoever wants it can take it.

"I understand." Shi was about to smile, but it hurt her wound instead. "Oh..."

Sure enough, when Hua Tang expressed his thoughts, the aunts all fell silent, looking at each other.

It was only at this time that they found out that the money that Shi had handed over to the Anyang Palace included the palace's household supplies and the master's private treasury.

Shi was quite cunning. When the prime minister's residence was emptied, she handed over the food supplies. Why was she not so generous on other days?

The Prime Minister's Mansion used to be extremely wealthy, so who wouldn't want to be the head of the family? But now all the family money has been squandered by Shi, so whoever is in charge of the household expenses has to pay the money.
