After hearing this, Second Sister-in-law Ye Yurou looked at Shen Qingge's slightly sad eyes, and immediately understood in her heart that the person she mentioned must be the king without a doubt.

After all, looking across the entire Lingnan region, is there anyone else who can affect his little sister's emotions like this?

Since this period of time, my younger sister has been busy in the court all day, going in and out, running around, and often she doesn't even bother to step into the house.

If I say that my younger sister works so hard, besides the fact that she cares about the people of the world and has a broad heart of love, is it true that she really does not have even the slightest intention of helping and supporting the King of Nanyue?

In fact, anyone who has experienced it can see it clearly and understand it clearly, but everyone knows it tacitly, and no one is embarrassed to ask about it rashly.

Therefore, even in today's situation, the second sister-in-law is still not in a position to ask the younger sister directly, for fear of accidentally offending the younger sister.

Besides, what if my younger sister doesn't want to explain the whole story in detail?

What's more, judging from the current situation alone, there must have been a fierce dispute and conflict between me and that person. Otherwise, how could I be so upset that I need to swing my sword to vent my inner frustration and sorrow?

Thinking of this, the second sister-in-law couldn't help but lower her voice and comforted her in an especially gentle tone:

"Little sister, could there be some misunderstanding here?

According to what you said, he is usually a very calm and steady person. Logically, he should not get angry for no reason!

Otherwise, you should calm down and think carefully to see if you have encountered some difficult problems that are difficult to deal with or solve. "

Shen Qingge nodded, followed her second sister-in-law's advice, and once again carefully sorted out everything that happened today from beginning to end in her mind, trying to understand Xiao Heng's thoughts.

If the national treasury is in deficit at the moment and they really don't have extra money to cover various expenses, then Xiao Heng's behavior is understandable.

After all, in such a tight situation, every penny must be used in the most critical areas and no waste is allowed.

If the current financial situation has just reached a balance between income and expenditure, which is not abundant, but not so dire that one cannot make ends meet, then what Xiao Heng did can still be considered a wise move.

After all, money is limited, so it should be used where it can be most effective. The saying "good steel should be used on the blade" is exactly this principle.

But what about now? Although Xiao Heng knew clearly that the actual situation was not short of money, he still insisted on his own opinion and handled it accordingly.

In Shen Qingge's opinion, this was simply making trouble without reason and deliberately "picking trouble".

She thought hard, and apart from suspecting that Xiao Heng might not have been able to read Zhou Ding's design drawings at all, she really couldn't think of any other reason that could explain it.

But obviously, that's not the case.

She clearly saw with her own eyes the joy on Xiao Heng's face when he looked at the blueprints, and the admiration in his expression when he looked at Zhou Dingshi. These could not be faked.

Could it be that Xiao Heng was interested in her, and seeing her getting close to other men made him jealous, so he took advantage of the situation?

However, as soon as this thought came to her mind, she quickly rejected it. Although she had seen Xiao Heng treat her like this before, she pretended not to see it and avoided him.

However, this time things are different.

Given Xiao Heng's character, he would never confuse court affairs with his children's personal affairs.

Therefore, this possibility is almost negligible.

After thinking about it over and over again, Shen Qingge still couldn't figure it out. He couldn't help but frown and felt more and more upset.

Seeing this scene, the second sister-in-law hurriedly whispered:

"Little sister, if you trust me, your second sister-in-law, please tell me the general situation of this matter.

You're alone here, feeling upset, but there's no way you can solve any problems.

If it's the court affairs that are troubling you, then you must find a way to deal with them immediately. There's absolutely no time to waste!"

Seeing that Shen Qingge didn't answer, she hurriedly added:

"Little sister, you can relax. I know nothing about the affairs of the court, so I won't make any irresponsible remarks."

Hearing what his sister-in-law had said, and every word made sense, Shen Qingge quickly responded:

"Second sister-in-law, there's no need to say that, how could I not trust you?

What you just said does make a lot of sense.

However, the person I want to talk about is the current king, so I dare not speak carelessly, so as not to disrupt the etiquette between the monarch and his subjects.

How about this, I'll just give you a brief account of what happened.

Perhaps looking at this matter from a different perspective can make the whole situation clearer!"

After saying this, Shen Qingge sorted out his thoughts a little, and then began to tell the story.

As the topic gradually deepened, my second sister-in-law sat there, leaning forward slightly, listening attentively.

Her eyes were focused and gentle, but a faint smile appeared on the corners of her mouth involuntarily, and she thought to herself:

"Isn't this the reaction of a man whose self-esteem has been bruised, coupled with his feelings of cherishing the woman he loves?"

Soon, Shen Qingge spoke out everything he wanted to say, then slowly stopped, turned his gaze to his second sister-in-law, and waited quietly for her response.

The second sister-in-law frowned slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a while, she gently stretched out her hands, gently held Shen Qingge's hands, and said earnestly:

"Little sister, have you ever thought seriously about this question?

How could any man with a little bit of blood and backbone be willing to use a woman's money easily?

Of course, we all know in our hearts that with your intelligence and extraordinary abilities, acquiring these riches is nothing more than a coincidence.

However, if we look at this matter from the king's perspective, the situation is completely different.

In his eyes, these silver coins are undoubtedly your personal property!"

After hearing the earnest words of his second sister-in-law, Shen Qingge couldn't help but be stunned. His confident expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by silence.

Indeed, she had never considered the deeper meaning of this level before, but now that her second sister-in-law pointed it out to her, she suddenly realized it.

But she was still proud and arrogant, with a stubborn spirit in her bones. Although her heart was shaken, she still refused to give in and argued calmly:

"In my opinion, he shouldn't be so distant!"
