the next day,

On the way out of the city and back to Qingshan Villa, they found notices posted in every corner of the capital, and the people were also spreading the word: Last night, the prince personally led the imperial guards to confiscate 400,000 taels of disaster relief silver, and also found evidence that the fourth prince Xu Ziyue had robbed disaster relief silver, hoarded military supplies and food, and deliberately plotted rebellion.

Moreover, in the early morning, the Imperial Guards surrounded the Fourth Prince's residence, and it was Eunuch Li who came to announce the decree.

Jing Chunxi regretted it. If he had known this would happen, he should have gone to the Four Emperors' Palace before going to Fubo Ridge. He should have dug three feet into the ground of his mansion, collected all the good things, scraped off a few inches of the wall, and thrown the big trees, bushes, flowers and plants into the space, which would surely be useful in the future.

It's another free give to that dog emperor.

……

home,

Only after her daughter and Jing Yi returned safely did Jing Qiurong finally let go of her worries.

Jing Chunxi was in high spirits, but Jing Yi looked downcast. After reporting everything and before leaving, he still remembered to give Jing Chunxi a poker face: "Remember to go up the mountain at noon tomorrow."

Jing Chunxi's desire to return with honor and seek praise from her mother was dampened. She retorted unconvincedly, "I didn't start running at dawn that day!"

Jing Qiurong didn't expect that the way the two of them got along was so confrontational and tense.

Was there some embarrassing incident during this trip? Or was there some misunderstanding? Although it was her first time experiencing this, she felt that her daughter's attitude was wrong. After all, it was not right to speak to an elder like that.

Jing Qiurong patiently taught him, speaking earnestly. But she wasn't angry: "Be more respectful to the master in the future."

Jing Chunxi nodded resignedly, but secretly complained: What kind of master is he? She would never serve tea to such a master.

"Mom, how about I get you some good stuff?" After Jing Chunxi finished telling his mother what had happened, he told her how many good things he had received, and then hugged her and acted coquettishly.

She felt that she had gone to so much trouble to collect all the gold, silver and treasures. Even if the relief money had to be returned to the people in the future, the Fourth Prince could still enjoy the money he had extorted from the people, and she especially wanted to honor her mother.

But Jing Qiurong glared at her sternly: "You can't touch anything that's not ours."

Maybe he felt he was being too harsh, so he softened his stance and said, "We'll find another opportunity to tell Grandpa. They'll always make other plans."

In fact, when she saw Jing Yi's depressed and somewhat sad expression just now, if it wasn't for the issue of the Fairy Aunt, she would have wanted to tell him that all his things had been taken back.

Knowing that such a large amount of property has not been damaged and will still be used by the military and civilians in the future, this rough guy must not feel so bad.

But they couldn't say anything.

"What about mother's dowry? I don't want it either." Jing Chunxi was angry with her mother. She had already used a lot of her mother's dowry, and it was not all for her own family. She should give it back.

If this doesn't work and that doesn't work, then the only thing that will be lost is my mother's dowry.

She wasn't really that greedy; at least she knew she couldn't appropriate things that belonged to the people. But somehow she felt that the Fourth Prince's plunder of the people's blood and sweat was his due, something others could easily obtain with the help of a petty trick from the dog emperor. She had done a great deed for the people, so why couldn't she enjoy it?

No, no!

She seemed to have forgotten one thing: the tadpole of the Fourth Prince was not the Dog Emperor's.

She had to stay calm and wait and see. She couldn't be sure whether the evidence on Fubo Ridge was the last straw that broke the camel's back for the Fourth Prince!

It would be really exciting if the dog emperor knew that the fourth prince was not his child.

She immediately thought of the scene where the Fourth Prince was trampled and crushed by the other princes once his identity was exposed.

Jing Chunxi's imagination was running wild, and her expression kept changing like a color palette, making Jing Qiurong opposite her feel that she might have gone crazy because she had accomplished something big.

"Do you think my mother can use the dowry?

We teach the children in the village to endure hardships and work diligently. Mother just planted vegetables and rice with the children one foot, and the next foot we three mothers closed the door and enjoyed the delicious food and luxury?

Or is Sister Xi not satisfied with our current life?"

Jing Chunxi originally just wanted to tease his mother, but he didn't expect to be scolded again. It felt a bit like he had just been in a mixed doubles match. The baby felt wronged.

"I'm tired, I'm going to sleep, don't disturb me." Jing Chunxi left angrily, feeling seriously hurt.
