Chapter 114

On the other side, Prime Minister Shangguan Xiong brought people from the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice to conduct a search and confiscation, while Minister of Revenue Li Wei followed behind with his men. All the property was looted by Li Wei's men.

"Alas! I don't know where the people in the Zhao Mansion hid the silver. The Prime Minister will have to work hard next. I will first deliver the silver to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Bye!"

Li Wei said in a deep voice, and immediately ran away with the silver.

Shangguan Xiong looked at the backs of the people from the Ministry of Revenue as they left, gritting his teeth in anger. What did this kid Li Wei mean? Was he trying to put pressure on him again?

However, Li Wei reminded himself that Qin Yu received 4.5 million taels of silver at one time, plus the balance paid to him by those noble families and the pure gold pagoda, it was almost 20 million taels of silver, which was enough for him to complete this mission!

Thinking of this, Shangguan Xiong ordered his men to continue searching the Zhao Mansion, while he returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion and told Shangguan Wan'er his thoughts.

After all, it is Shangguan Wan'er who has to deal with the matter of getting the money. As the prime minister, he cannot do such a disgraceful thing!

Shangguan Xiong told Shangguan Wan'er about this, and Shangguan Wan'er went out with her maid Lian'er. She was going to ask Qin Yu for money. That was nearly 20 million taels, and she planned to buy some furniture and decorations for herself!

snort!

Whatever I need, I can buy it myself. From now on, I will never accept any gifts from that loser Qin Yu!

After spending an afternoon strolling around various major businesses, Shangguan Wan'er bought whatever she liked and even picked out two beds made of white marble, one for herself and one for Lian'er, with a total value of over 150,000 taels!

Add to that some precious flowers and trees, tables, chairs, benches, gold and silver jewelry, and the total value reached four hundred thousand taels!

If she had heard this number in the past, Shangguan Wan'er would have been shocked because she couldn't afford it. But now she doesn't care. It's 20 million taels of silver anyway, so it doesn't matter if she uses a few hundred thousand taels.

"Send all this to the Prime Minister's Mansion, and wait, I'll settle the bill for you when I get back!"

Shangguan Wan'er said.

"Yes, Miss Shangguan, don't worry, we will definitely deliver it to you as quickly as possible!"

The shopkeepers hurriedly said.

Shangguan Wan'er bought so many things and went to find Qin Yu with satisfaction.

The prince's residence!

A guard quickly ran over and reported, "Your Highness! Shangguan Wan'er is outside the mansion, asking you to come out and see her. She also said that she will never set foot in the Crown Prince's mansion again!"

"Hmm? Is this little girl crazy? Her brother just left and she comes over again. Is this going to go on forever? No!"

Qin Yu frowned.

Are all the Shangguan family members just idiots? They can't be shaken off, right?

"Your Highness! Shangguan Wan'er is yelling outside the mansion, attracting the attention of the surrounding people. If you don't get out, the mansion might be surrounded by people!"

The guard said again.

"Shit! Is it that serious? I'd better go out and take a look."

Qin Yu said speechlessly.

When he arrived at the gate of the mansion, Qin Yu heard Shangguan Wan'er's voice.

"Humph! I came here today to tell Qin Yu that I will never accept any gifts from him again. It's absolutely impossible for me to forgive him!"

"I'm the Prime Minister's daughter. Do you really think I'd care about his little gift? What do you think of me? I have hands and feet. Can't I just buy what I need myself?"

Shangguan Wan'er said coldly.

"Yes! My lady can buy whatever she needs herself. She just bought something worth over 400,000 taels of silver!"

Lian'er agreed proudly from the side.

Forehead......

Qin Yu was speechless. Shangguan Wan'er came to show off in front of his door just because she was extravagant?

"Ahem! Well, I'm very pleased to see you're self-reliant. Moreover, I'm aware of this matter. If there's nothing else, you should go back first. I like quiet time. I won't be used to so many people around!"

Qin Yu walked out, coughed twice and said.

"Hmph! Do you think I'm willing to stay here with you? My father said you have nearly 20 million taels of silver. As the crown prince of Daliang, is it reasonable for you to have so much silver? Send it to the Prime Minister's Mansion now, immediately, my father will need it!"

Shangguan Wan'er said coldly.

"Your Highness! This money is in your hands. It is a waste. You should turn it over to the court!"

"No wonder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince casually spent 50,000 taels of silver at Wutong Tower. He must be wealthy. But, while he wasted money, did he ever think about how many people in Daliang couldn't afford food or clothes? Did he ever think about how much hardship our soldiers endured at the border, how much they were starving?"

......

The onlookers were filled with indignation!
