Becoming a widow for the sake of good fortune? The short-lived prince lived a hundred years

Chapter 22 If I die, you will be the richest widow in the capital

Chu Jinxun chuckled softly, raising his eyebrows. The sun seemed to shine on his delicate face. "Let me tell you this, although the palace is not very rich, but with its current assets, if I died tomorrow, you would be the richest widow in the capital!"

Yan Xining: “…”

This metaphor is quite unique!

He really has no taboos.

“Then I’m looking forward to it!”

Chu Jinxun smiled again. He was handsome, and this smile was even more dazzling, making people feel that their eyes were brighter and brighter. There was also a hint of teasing and coaxing in his tone: "But if I live, in two years, my wealth will double!"

"So, being alive is more cost-effective?" Yan Xining laughed.

But Chu Jinxun's smile dimmed a little: "If nothing unexpected happens, I can only live for two years, right?"

Yan Xining was silent for a moment before saying, "It can be cured!"

Acupuncture can remove the superficial toxins and control their onset, allowing his body to gradually become stronger. However, to truly detoxify him, he needs to use herbs to create an antidote.

Based on his physical condition, the antidote must be developed within two years.

But developing an antidote is not an easy task.

First, we need to know what poison was used to refine the poison. Since it was a congenital poisoning in the fetus, we also need to consider whether it interacted with the mother's body, causing some changes, and what kind of fetal hormone was formed, which would allow the fetus to absorb most of the poison and not survive to adulthood.

If even one ingredient is wrong, the antidote will not only fail to cure the poison, but may also become a more harmful poison.

This is the situation on the surface.

It's only been three days. Even if Yan Xining has excellent medical skills, he can't figure it out so quickly.

Chu Jinxun smiled again and said calmly, "Then I'll leave my life to you! The longer you let me live, the more silver you can count!"

Yan Xining rolled her eyes at him.

Now she has a lot of silver to count.

She wanted to save the man not because of the money, but simply because she liked the man.

Speaking of silver, she suddenly became interested: "I still have to go and see the dowry my mother left me!"

"No rush, have dinner first!"

"No, I'm not hungry!"

Watching her leave quickly with joy, Chu Jinxun's mouth curled up.

Why does she like silver so much? Is it because she was short of it in the past?

"Jingyue!"

A figure flashed in the dark: "Here!"

"Go check out the princess's past!"

"Yes!"

There was a breeze blowing through the air, but it returned to silence in an instant.

Chu Jinxun turned around and walked towards the study on the right.

The bookshelves in the study are filled with a wide variety of books.

He pressed somewhere on the east bookshelf, and then pressed again somewhere above it. A compartment of the bookcase popped open, revealing the wall inside. He pressed four times in a row, and the wall shrank inward. Then, a box popped out from underneath.

Chu Jinxun opened it, took out a stack of papers inside, closed the box, and pressed a certain spot. After that, the wall returned to its original state, and then the bookcase also returned to its original state.

He walked back to his desk, sat down, and looked through the stack of papers.

The top one reads:

More than ten women in Yuping Prefecture, Kangnan County have disappeared mysteriously for a month, and the government has no clues. It is suspected that the Scorpio Gang is responsible!

Locusts have appeared in Fuxi County and are showing signs of spreading. The government is organizing the people to drive them away!

The top performer in Wanchun Pavilion of Huaping Prefecture is actually the biological daughter of the prefect of Jinfeng County!

……

The thick stack of notes contains messages like these.

Some of it is accurate news, and some is hearsay.

There are official notices and wanted notices; there are also rumors from the public, it is really eclectic.

Chu Jinxun flipped through the pages one by one as if he were looking at a picture book. He moved his chair a little, and without even getting up, he pressed on the wall on his left. A hole appeared on the wall that had been tightly closed without any trace. He threw the paper in, half leaned on the chair and was in a daze for a while. Then he seemed to remember something funny and chuckled softly.

Yan Xining had already reached Qingwu Courtyard. At this moment, the gate was closed and locked.

Wu Yuxing was waiting at the door. When he saw her approaching, he bowed and said, "Princess, your dowry is temporarily placed in front of the storeroom door until you send someone to count it and put it into the storeroom. There is a new lock here with only one key. No one except you can open your storeroom!"

Yan Xining nodded and took the things he handed her: the gate key, a new lock key, and the booklet Quanzhong had given her.

Wu Yuxing asked again, "Princess, are you going to do the inventory yourself today, or wait until someone is transferred over?"

It would take a lot of time for one person to count such a thick booklet.

"Since I have nothing to do, I'll check it myself now."

Caizhu saw her unlock the door, push it open and walk in. She immediately stopped, but hesitated. "Princess, do you need any help?"

Yan Xining waved her hand: "No need, go call my maid who came with my dowry and help me prepare some hot water and food, I'll need them later!"

Caizhu retreated.

Qingwu Courtyard is quite large, with elegant yet fresh scenery. There are flowers and trees in the yard, which is both grand and elegant.

Yan Xining stood in the yard, looking at the spectacular rows of boxes, the spacious courtyard, and the towering umbrella-like tree in the yard. Chu Jinxun did not give her a perfunctory response. The yard was really nice, and she liked it here!

Wu Yuxing saw her strolling leisurely in the courtyard, and asked again, "Princess, do you need someone to help you carry the items you have counted into the warehouse?"

"Let someone carry it in!"

Wu Yuxing had no doubts and just waved his hand.

The four strong servants behind him lifted the boxes and other items into the warehouse one by one, two at a time.

Yan Xining then entered the warehouse that belonged to her alone.

The space inside was not small, divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and had already been cleaned. At this moment, the entire warehouse was empty except for a few rows of empty shelves for placing items.

Yan Xining was even more satisfied.

From this point of view, Chu Jinxun maintains the sense of partnership and will not do anything deliberately, nor will he make her feel uncomfortable.

Seeing that all the boxes had been carried into the warehouse, Wu Yuxing had counted the specific number with others before. At this moment, he just handed his counting record to Yan Xining and retreated with his men.

Dozens of boxes were placed in the outer room. Although they were stacked in two layers, they only occupied one-third of the space.

Yan Xining rolled up his sleeves and started working.

Open the first box and you'll find porcelain inside.

She counted the quantity, size, pattern, etc. according to the booklet, and then moved directly to another corner.

Some of the boxes were heavy, so she took out some of the things in them.

Some of them don't come in boxes.

For example, the mahogany furniture and huanghuali tables and chairs, which were all large items that took up space, she didn't move them, as long as the number matched.

By the time Yan Xining went out, locked the warehouse and the courtyard gate, and then went to the main courtyard, it was already half an hour later.

Very tired, but very satisfying!

Putting aside the real estate deeds, shops and farms, the silver notes alone amounted to a full 10,000 taels.

The total value of these dowries is an astonishing 50,000 taels!

Therefore, Luo Yiyun's mother's family is extremely wealthy. Such a family should not be unknown. When she was brought back to the capital, the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion even held a special banquet to inform everyone.

But no one from the Luo family came to visit, and there was nothing in the original body's memory!

She couldn't help but frown. It seemed that she had to find the answers by herself!

Neither she nor Chu Jinxun had expected that during the day, when they were fighting wits and courage in Weiyuan Marquis' Mansion, someone went to the palace to report them.
