Xie Tingyu gritted his teeth, she was really his good princess!

The butler was stunned again. Didn’t the prince look carefully at the banknote he gave him?

He blinked his cloudy old eyes, raised his hand tremblingly and pointed at the silver note that the prince was still holding in his hand.

"Your Majesty, look at what you are holding in your hand...

Xie Tingyu suddenly realized what was happening, but his anger only intensified. "Are you saying that this fifty thousand taels of silver note was obtained by selling things from Xinlan Garden?"

"No...no..." The housekeeper waved his hands repeatedly. How could it be enough just by selling the things in Xinlanyuan?

Xie Tingyu's expression relaxed a little, as long as the silver he exchanged at Xinlanyuan was not among them.

He was about to say something when he heard the butler continue:

"Not only Xinlan Garden, but also the manors, shops and fertile fields under the name of the palace..."

The housekeeper counted on his fingers: "There are also fields and houses. Oh, yes, your private treasury has also been sold out..."

"What did you say?" Xie Tingyu was angry and couldn't believe it.

He suppressed his raging anger and confirmed with the butler, thinking that perhaps the butler was old and not in his right mind, and might be talking nonsense.

The butler was a little puzzled. Wasn't his voice loud enough?

Although he was puzzled, he still raised his voice and continued, "This is not enough! The princess also sold many things in the South Garden where she lived, and only then did she collect the 50,000 taels!"

The butler originally had some opinions about the princess selling the things in Xinlan Garden, but the princess said that it was all for the purpose of raising money for the prince to make meritorious deeds, so he had nothing to say.

Everything is for the prince!

Moreover, the princess not only sold things from Xinlan Garden, she also sold most of the things in Nan Garden where she lived, leaving only some necessities.

The princess had set an example herself, so what else could he say? Furthermore, the princess had kept every ounce of silver for herself and given it all to him to exchange for banknotes, which he would then hand over to the prince personally.

Not only that, he felt embarrassed because the items in Xinlan Garden alone were sold for more than 20,000 taels of silver, but most of the items in the princess's Nanyuan were empty, and only exchanged for less than 2,000 taels of silver.

When he went to report the bill to the princess, his old face flushed red, and he wanted to bury his face in the ground...

Xie Tingyu seemed to hear the sound of something breaking in his brain. For a moment, he felt dizzy and his head almost exploded.

His eyes were bloodshot, practically spitting fire: "So you sold out the palace to scrape together these 50,000 taels of silver?"

Seeing the prince's horrified expression, the butler knelt down and took a few steps back before kowtowed again to save his life: "Prince, this is all the princess's order. She said you urgently need these 50,000 taels of silver. I dare not disobey!"

"Could it be that this is all fabricated by the princess, and you don't actually need these 50,000 taels of silver?"

Thinking of this possibility, beads of sweat the size of beans flowed down the old butler's wrinkled face.

He simply gritted his teeth and closed his eyes: "The princess said, if you have any opinions, just go to her! Don't... don't implicate others..."

The further back you go, the quieter the sound becomes.

But at least people can hear it clearly.

Xie Tingyu was so angry that he almost laughed.

He was asking for fifty thousand taels of silver, sure, but when did he agree to sell off Prince Jing's estate? And he even dared to take the initiative and touch his private vault!

"Where is the princess?"

The housekeeper's eyes widened again. "Didn't you invite the princess to go boating last night? If you don't know, how can I know?"

But since the prince asked, he had no choice but to answer.

"The princess went boating with you on Jingyue Lake last night and hasn't returned yet..."

Still haven't returned...

Still not back!!!

When he thought about the woman who had been drugged last night, how she had cried out the eunuch's name while she was in his arms, and how she had been kidnapped by the men in black, and how his men couldn't catch up, but the eunuch had chased after them...

Xie Tingyu became even more angry!

He waved his hand and said, "Come here, drag the butler out and beat him to death!"

When the butler heard this, his eyebrows and beard suddenly stood up. He quickly knelt down a few steps and hugged Xie Tingyu's thigh.
