After the divorce, the reborn emperor seduced me into his arms

The next day.

Mrs. Zhen got to drink the best bird's nest as she wished.

Looking at her fair and rosy skin in the bronze mirror, she said with satisfaction: "This blood bird's nest is better than ordinary bird's nest. After drinking a bowl, my complexion looks much better."

Xueqin echoed, "Who says it's not true? It's still the eldest lady who is filial to the lady."

"Tan'er is a filial son."

Madam Zhen pursed her lips and smiled, saying complacently, "But I also have to thank that little bitch Yan Qing. If it weren't for her dowry, I wouldn't be able to drink such delicious blood swallows."

"The Second Miss was truly foolish. She divorced Prince Lu in a fit of rage and didn't even want her dowry."

"Humph!"

Madam Zhen scorned: "If she wasn't stupid, how could my Tan'er get to the top?"

Xueqin nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Madam Zhen looked at herself in the mirror again and was about to order the stewing of blood swallows to continue tomorrow when she suddenly saw Yan Junyuan hurriedly walking in wearing court robes.

Madam Zhen immediately stood up to greet him: "Master, you are back. I just made some bird's nest for you to nourish yourself..."

"Snapped!"

Yan Junyuan slapped Madam Zhen in the face.

Madam Zhen was confused. She covered her cheeks with her hands and cried, "Master, what did I do wrong that you hit me like this?"

Yan Junyuan's face turned pale: "What did you do yesterday?"

"Yesterday?"

Madam Zhen said blankly, "I was at home the whole time yesterday and did nothing."

"you--"

Yan Junyuan was so angry that he had a headache.

As soon as he went to court today, he was impeached, saying that he was ungrateful and treated his wife and daughter harshly, and that he should go to the general's mansion to get money.

What a joke! Would a dignified minister like him go to the general's mansion to ask for money?

As a result, after leaving the court, he was blocked by his two brothers-in-law on Chang'an Street and scolded.

Yan Junyuan had never been humiliated like this before.

When they returned home and asked, they found out that someone from their home had indeed gone to the general's mansion yesterday. It was Xueqin, the maidservant beside Madam Zhen.

He pointed at Madam Zhen and shouted angrily, "You're short of food or clothes in the mansion, and you're going to the General's Mansion to beg for money? Do you know that everyone in the capital is scolding me for being shameless and begging at the General's Mansion?"

"what?"

Mrs. Jane was at a loss.

How did the master know that she had sent someone to the general's mansion?

Madam Zhen suddenly looked at Xueqin and said gloomily, "Xueqin, are you hiding something from me?"

Xueqin fell to her knees and sobbed, "When I was thrown out of the general's mansion yesterday, they said they would ask the old general to cause trouble for the master..."

Madam Zhen stepped forward and slapped her twice, then angrily asked, "Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing last night?"

"I dare not whimper..."

Like Madam Zhen, Xueqin covered her face and begged for mercy, saying, "The people in the General's Mansion are too scary. The Second Young Lady didn't speak up for me. I was so scared..."

"I'll beat you to death, you bitch!"

"Madam, spare your life..."

"enough!"

Yan Junyuan shouted angrily.

Madam Zhen immediately stopped and approached ingratiatingly, "Master, what happened?"

Yan Junyuan sat down on the imperial chair with a cold face: "Because of the good things you did yesterday, I was impeached in court today. His Majesty ordered me to reflect on my actions at home!"

"what!"

Mrs. Jane screamed, "Is it really that serious?"

Yan Junyuan frowned and said nothing.

Ultimately, he doesn't have enough power. If he controlled a large army like Ye Zhennan, would His Majesty punish him so easily?

Looks like it's time to take sides.

Madam Zhen rolled her eyes and suddenly said to Xueqin, "Old General Ye never asks about the affairs of our Yan Mansion. Why is he trying to get on with the Master this time? Is there something else you haven't said?"

"Yes...it's the Second Miss!"

Xueqin reacted immediately, kneeling forward and crying, "Master, Madam, it's the Second Miss! The Second Miss said that the eldest lady stole Prince Lu, and she wants the people in the General's Mansion to avenge her. She also said that she will never forgive Master in this life!"

"This evil girl!"

Yan Junyuan slammed his palm on the table.

Madam Zhen wiped her tears and said, "Master, the Second Miss is angry. Please don't blame her. It's just that it's not good for her to stay in the General's Mansion like this. You should take her back to the mansion..."

"If she wants to live in the General's Mansion, then she can live there. It's best if she never comes back!"

Yan Junyuan got angry just thinking about Yan Qing's face. He interrupted Madam Zhen and said, "Don't send people to the General's Mansion anymore. Don't we have money in the Yan Mansion? We'll make fun of you and even bring this to His Majesty!"

Madam Zhen hesitated: "Master, we really have no money..."

"Don't I get my monthly salary back?"

"This……"

Madam Zhen said with embarrassment, "The master's salary is ten taels of silver per month, but half of it is spent on the calligraphy and paintings and antiques you bought, and the other half is used for the old lady's worship of Buddha and the two brothers' studies.

Master, you don’t know how expensive firewood, rice, oil, and salt are if you don’t manage the household. The servants in this house need monthly wages, the girls need new clothes for the four seasons, and there are also social interactions in various houses, all of which require money…”

Yan Junyuan frowned: "How did you live before?"

"Didn't you have a sister before..."

Although Madam Zhen didn't want to speak well of Ye Xiruo in front of Yan Junyuan, she endured it for the sake of money: "My sister used to care about the master and would subsidize some of the household expenses, but now she has given all the property to the second young lady. That's why I let Xueqin go to the general's mansion..."

As she spoke, she sobbed again, "I never thought the Second Miss would be so cruel. Not only did she not give the money, she also let General Ye target the Master. It's really chilling..."

"Well, isn't it just silver?"

Yan Junyuan said impatiently, "Have someone sell the calligraphy and paintings in my study. I'll find a way to get the money."

"Yes……"

Madam Zhen was a little disappointed that the master couldn't bring that little bitch Yan Qing back home, but it didn't matter, because she still had Yan Qing's dowry.

Ask Tan'er to bring back more tomorrow...

……

the other side.

Yan Qing went to Anbao Casino today.

Anbao is the property of King Li. Like Changle, it is also luxurious and wealthy, making those who gamble there feel like they are falling into a gold mine.

Just like in Changle Casino, Yan Qing figured out the strength of all the dealers there.

After all, she will be the owner of Fugui Casino in the future, and Changle and Anbao will be her competitors.

Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!

After coming out of Anbao Casino, Luzhi and Qingluan also returned to Yan Qing.

Luzhi said, "Miss, that man from yesterday really didn't go to Changle Casino again."

Although Yan Qing did not go to Changle, she asked Luzhi to inquire about the person who knew about Prince Consort Lu's deeds yesterday. As she expected, the other party did not show up today.

That man is a smart one, and I'm afraid he won't appear in the gambling house for a long time.

Yan Qing felt quite regretful.

She turned to look at Qingluan.

Qing Luan whispered, "Just as Miss expected, someone from the Wu'an Marquis's Mansion really went to the pawnshop yesterday."

Yan Qing sneered: "She's the one I'm waiting for, let's go!"
