What a bastard!

The maids and servants who were serving her were so frightened when they saw her like this that they hurried to ask for the imperial physician, but were stopped by Madam Lu.

"Don't go. I'm fine. I just felt a little upset. Don't tell anyone, or Cheng'er will make a scene again."

Mrs. Lu said helplessly.

What she feared most was that Jiang Cheng would make trouble in the palace, and then Jiang Lin would be so angry that she would divorce Jia, and Jia would hang herself.

How will this end?

She just said that she wanted Chi'er to divorce her in order to scare Jia, but Jia said that she wanted to force her to death.

That woman is definitely capable of hanging herself and bringing shame to the Jiang family!

How would she explain to Chi'er then?

What will Chi'er think of Lin'er and Cheng'er?

What would Yaoer and Xueer think?

Would they think that it was her, the grandmother, as well as her aunt and uncle, who deliberately forced their mother to death?

Mrs. Lu felt bitter just thinking about that scene.

On the other hand, Jiang Er was so angry that he left home and went straight into the palace.

However, he did not go to find Concubine Jiang, but went to Emperor Taihe.

When Emperor Taihe heard his intention, he was completely shocked: "You actually asked me to lend you 5,000 taels of silver?"

Jiang Er said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, don't you even want to help me? When I grow herbs and make money, I will definitely return the money to you with interest!"

Emperor Taihe snorted unhappily, "You've never grown anything before, yet you're dreaming of growing herbs? Aren't you afraid the herbs you grow might be poisonous to death?"

Jiang Er was a little embarrassed: "Brother-in-law, look at what you said, although I have never planted it before, I can plant it in the future.

Besides, after growing these herbs, don't they have to be examined by doctors before they can be used? If someone dies after eating them, it's the doctor's fault, how can you blame me?

If I can grow medicinal herbs, the price of medicinal herbs in the capital will be cheaper. Isn't this a great thing that benefits the country and the people? Brother-in-law, you are the emperor, so you should support me. "

"Humph, you're quite good at talking nonsense!"

Emperor Taihe snorted in annoyance and questioned, "I heard that you used the imperial gift to exchange for silver, spending a full 30,000 taels of silver to buy land. Even if you wanted to grow medicinal herbs, there's no need to buy such a large piece of land."

Jiang Er became even more nervous: "Brother-in-law, you must have misunderstood. How could I dare to exchange the imperial gift for silver? I just lent it to someone for worship for a period of time, and then borrowed some silver."

He spoke in a lower voice, paused, and then continued, "Besides, Xie Xiu has already given out 100,000 taels of silver. If I give too little, won't it seem like I'm too stingy? Brother-in-law, you don't want to have a stingy brother-in-law who is embarrassing, do you?"

Emperor Taihe's face instantly turned black: He didn't want to have a stingy brother-in-law, but he didn't want a brother-in-law who was taken advantage of even more!

Although Emperor Taihe was complaining in his heart, he still took out five thousand taels of silver from his private treasury and lent it to Jiang Er.

He just deliberately made him write an IOU, and agreed that he would pay nine out of ten and return thirteen, with an alarmingly high interest rate.

Jiang Er felt a headache just thinking about the interest, so he came up with an idea: "How about this, I'll just treat it as my brother-in-law putting in 6,000 taels of silver. When we make money in the future, I'll give him 30% of the profits!"

He borrowed five thousand, which should have only been one-sixth of the money, and with a 30% dividend, he suffered a huge loss!

However, Emperor Taihe glanced at him coldly and snorted, "Don't be so delusional! I don't believe you can really grow medicinal herbs."

After saying this, he deliberately put the IOU into his arms and waved him away: "Go away, don't disturb me from reviewing the memorials. Go see your sister."

Jiang Er could only take his leave in grievance, and go to pay his respects to Concubine Jiang and file a complaint at the same time.

Seeing his bitter face, Concubine Jiang couldn't help but laugh and said, "Why do you look like that? Who bullied you?"

Jiang Er immediately started to complain, but he didn't mention that Jia had gone to Madam Lu to cry and accuse him of spending money recklessly, and that he was afraid that it would make things difficult for his elder sister and elder brother.
