The war god prince climbs the wall every night, and the princess is angry

Upon hearing this, the staff immediately said, "Merchants are not stupid. This is millions of taels of silver. Even if any wealthy businessman wants to take it out, it will be difficult. If he doesn't have something that can impress people, I'm afraid it won't work."

"If we force it, the merchant might just go all out, and that would be embarrassing."

Xie Qian'an nodded after hearing what his staff member said. Although he wanted the money, he also wanted to preserve his reputation.

It would be best if they could keep it a secret and raise the money in a peaceful manner. Otherwise, if it becomes known to everyone and people know that he, a prince, forced wealthy businessmen to donate money, how would he still have any dignity?

I am afraid that even if he gets the money and provides disaster relief, he will lose the support of the people. When the emperor knows that he has brought shame to the royal family, he will probably be furious. This is not what he wants to see.

But if you want to exchange enough silver for the lowest price, and also ensure that the other party is neither capable nor dare to fight to the death with you, then there is only...

Thinking of that person, Xie Qian'an narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. The staff members who were arguing just now suddenly quieted down, bowed, and retreated.

Vertical sun.

"Who did you say is here?" Shen Qionghua looked surprised.

Shaoyao's face turned pale as she said, "It's Prince An and the mother and daughter of the Lin family."

Fuling, who was standing by, couldn't help but curse after hearing this: "How shameless! He schemed against the young lady and the mistress, and yet he still had the nerve to come to our house!"

Shaoyao nodded in agreement, then looked at Shen Qionghua.

"My lady, I know you don't want to see such disgusting people, so I didn't let them in, but...but Prince An said that if you don't agree to let them enter the Shen Mansion, then I will accompany the Lin mother and daughter until you agree."

"There are so many people coming and going on this street. If passersby saw Prince An standing in front of our mansion, who knows what kind of rumors would spread. Wouldn't that be deliberately destroying your reputation, young lady?"

Shen Qionghua snorted coldly when he heard this and placed the teacup in his hand heavily on the table.

Xie Qian'an was forcing himself to let Lin's mother and daughter into the Shen Mansion. If only Lin's mother and daughter were in front of the Shen Mansion, people who knew the conflict between the Shen family and the Yongning Marquis Mansion would understand. At most, some people would think that she was disrespectful to her elders.

But if the Shen family avoided Prince An, at the very least, it would mean that she had a close relationship with Prince An, which would be detrimental to her reputation. At the most, it would mean that she did not take the royal family seriously and dared to let the prince wait at the door of the mansion.

Xie Qian'an used himself as bait to put the Shen family on the fire, forcing her to meet Lin's mother and daughter.

It’s just that when Xie Qian’an mentioned that he wanted her to reconcile with Lin’s mother and daughter, and she refused, his attitude was not so tough. Now he suddenly changed his attitude. Did something happen?

And there were the Lin mother and daughter. She knew exactly what kind of people they were.

Lin wanted Ayi dead, but accidentally killed Zhou Jinxuan. Zhou Lingyi loved Xie Qian'an to the core, and regarded the position of queen as a sure thing. It was a great injustice for her to have to accept that he was temporarily stepping on her head.

Now, Zhou Lingfu, whom she had always looked down upon, had entered Prince An's Mansion before her through her manipulation, and was even pregnant with Prince An's child. She was afraid that both the mother and the daughter hated her to death, and might even think that she was ungrateful and did not serve as their pawn.

This can be seen from the fact that it was the steward of Yongning Hou who came to the Shen Mansion in the first few times. Lin has always been a hypocritical person and doesn't even want to put on an act, which shows that she hates her to the core.

Shen Qionghua suspected that even the housekeeper's visit to the Shen Mansion was not instructed by Lin, but by other people in the Yongning Marquis' Mansion.

Later, it was estimated that the Yongning Marquis's Mansion put pressure on Lin, so she came to the Shen family a few times, but after being unable to enter, she stopped coming.

After many days, Lin and Xie Qian'an came together today. They came with ill intentions, especially at this critical time of disaster relief. I'm afraid they have other intentions. Could it be...

But she was not afraid. She had survived the most difficult times. Now she was in her own house. How could Lin and others eat her?

Shen Qionghua stood up and said calmly, "Since they must see me, then let them in."

Shen Qionghua had spoken, and no matter how angry Shaoyao and the others were, they had no choice but to do what he ordered.

Fuling led the people into the front hall, turned around and rolled her eyes at the three people, snorted coldly, then walked to the corner and stared at the three people with her eyes, as if she were looking at thieves.

Seeing Fuling's attitude, the three of them looked unhappy. Zhou Lingyi had been spoiled since childhood, so how could he tolerate a servant giving him the cold shoulder? He immediately said, "Kneel down!"

Although Xie Qian'an came here today hoping that Shen Qionghua could reconcile with the Yongning Marquis' Mansion, he was quite unhappy at being humiliated by a servant of the Shen Mansion, and for a moment he did not stop Zhou Lingyi.

Fuling was not afraid of Zhou Lingyi and taunted him, "What qualifications do you have for me to kneel before you? This isn't the Yongning Marquis's Mansion. Miss Zhou Er, please make sure you don't mistake your master."

"You!" Zhou Lingyi's eyes widened, as if he hadn't expected this girl to be so bold. Rage surged in his heart, and he shouted, "Caiwei, kick her legs until she kneels down!"

"Yes, Miss." Caiwei agreed, but before she could go forward, a cold voice came from outside the hall.

"I don't know when Miss Zhou Er became the boss of the Shen Mansion. She actually went over my head as the master and punished my maid."

As the words fell, Shen Qionghua's figure appeared in everyone's sight.

Shen Qionghua bowed lightly to Xie Qian'an, then without even looking at the Lin mother and daughter, she walked straight to the main seat and sat down.

Her attitude, which was completely different from before, made the three people below her feel a little uneasy.

Zhou Lingyi instantly put away his previous anger, forced a smile, and said, "What are you talking about, cousin Shen? This Shen Mansion is yours, so naturally you are the one who makes the decisions. Yi'er saw that this maid was too arrogant and was afraid that she would bully you, so..."

"Wait!" Shen Qionghua interrupted Zhou Lingyi before she could finish.

Her face was as cold as frost, and her voice was like a cold winter wind blowing through people's hearts.

"I don't dare to worry about Miss Zhou Er calling me cousin. If I really accept it, I don't know how I will repay it. My Shen family has learned a lesson and will definitely remember it firmly. We will never easily establish relationships with others again, otherwise we will die in the future without knowing how."

Shen Qionghua's words were merciless, like a slap in the face to Xie Qian'an and Lin's mother and daughter, making their faces hurt.

Zhou Lingyi's face was distorted, and she almost ignored her gentle image in front of Xie Qian'an.

Just when she was about to fail, Lin beside her tugged at her robe, and hot tears immediately slid down her cheeks, instantly ruining her well-made makeup.

Lin's eyes were bloodshot, and she covered her face with a handkerchief in her left hand, as if she didn't want others to see her loss of composure and pain. She said in a hoarse voice, "Hua Jie'er, after all, you still blame me. It's all my fault that I lost my mind for a moment and did such a thing, but..."

Lin suddenly pulled off the handkerchief on her face, her eyes filled with sorrow and death.

"But Brother Yi was fine in the end, but I lost my Brother Xuan. Isn't that enough?"

Shen Qionghua looked at Lin in front of her, as if she saw herself who had lost all her loved ones in the previous life. However, her sadness was real, while the sadness of the person in front of her was mostly an illusion to make her forgive her.

If she really forgave him, then she deserved that ending in her previous life, and she would definitely repeat the same mistake in this life.

Shen Qionghua clenched her fists and said, "Madam Zhou, your scheme against me and Ayi failed, and instead you harmed Zhou Jinxuan. This is your retribution."

"Although Ayi and I escaped in the end, the damage was real and cannot be offset by Zhou Jinxuan's death, so how can it be enough?"
