Upon hearing this, the old lady stopped crying and brought everyone in the mansion to the front yard.

Seeing Eunuch De, the old lady explained.

"Eunuch De, my master is still unconscious, so I will take the imperial edict on his behalf."

Eunuch De looked at the old lady whose eyes were red from crying and said in a sharp voice.

"The contents of this imperial edict are also known to the uncle of the emperor. We will not read it out aloud. Just give it directly to the old lady."

After Eunuch De finished speaking, he handed the imperial edict directly to the old lady.

The old lady took the imperial edict and thanked Eunuch De.

"Thank you for the trouble, Eunuch De."

Eunuch De waved his hand and laughed sharply.

"It's not hard for us to work for the emperor. By the way, old lady, this time, in addition to delivering the imperial edict for the emperor, we also have another important matter."

"That is to recover for the Emperor the 500,000 taels of silver that the uncle of the emperor promised to compensate the two young princes for their medical expenses and mental damages."

"The two young princes are kind-hearted and have donated the money to the court to be used to treat the people affected by the disaster."

"What?" The old lady almost fell to the ground when she heard this. She couldn't believe it was true.

"How is that possible? It was clearly my grandson who was beaten, and yet I have to pay compensation to those two bastards?"

"Impossible, don't even think about it, I don't agree."

She didn't expect that the bitch Jiang would actually donate the money to the court, but forget about getting money from her.

Eunuch De sneered in a sharp voice.

"Are you trying to disobey my order, old lady? It was clearly your grandson who severely injured the two young masters."

"The two young princes haven't woken up yet, and their bodies are covered in blood. Old Madam, please look at your grandsons, are they standing beside you in good health?"

Eunuch De had long heard that the old lady of the king's uncle was difficult to deal with and it was difficult to get money.

But he had already made preparations today, and he brought a group of royal guards with him...

The old lady looked at her grandson who was hiding behind her because of being scared by Eunuch De, and her heart was burning with anger. She sent Eunuch De away.

"Eunuch De, you should go back first. When the uncle wakes up, he will send the money."

Humph! When the master wakes up, let him go to the palace and talk to the emperor. Maybe he won't have to pay the money.

The old lady felt that after she said this, Eunuch De would definitely return to the palace immediately.

Unexpectedly, the next second, Eunuch De shouted sharply.

"Come here, the Prince's Mansion is disobeying the order, arrest everyone immediately."

Soon, a group of imperial guards came out from behind Eunuch De and surrounded everyone in the Prince's Mansion.

The old lady was trembling with fear and threatened.

"Eunuch De, my master is the emperor's uncle. How dare you do this? Do you believe that my master will let the emperor chop off your head?"

Eunuch De sneered in a sharp voice.

"Then you should let the prince try and see if he will chop off the old slave's head first, or the prince's."

"You...you dog..." The princess's wife hadn't finished her words.

He was interrupted by the voice of the uncle behind him. "Shut up, don't be rude to Eunuch De."

The old lady turned around and saw the prince-in-law being supported by a servant. She called out softly with tears in her eyes as if she had seen a savior.

"Master, you finally woke up."

The prince's uncle slowly came up to Eunuch De and said apologetically.

"Eunuch De, please don't take Madam's words to heart. She is just concerned about me."

Eunuch De had a gloomy face.

"My Lord, I have also given the imperial edict to your wife. Now that you are awake, please quickly hand over the 500,000 taels of silver to me."

"I'm still waiting to return to the palace to report." Eunuch De didn't want to stay in the prince's mansion for even a minute.

Upon hearing this, the prince-in-law gave instructions to his wife.

"Madam, have someone bring 500,000 taels of silver and give it to Eunuch De."

"Master...you..." The old lady spoke with pain in her heart.

"Go quickly and don't keep your father-in-law waiting for too long." The prince's uncle said with a dark face.

The old lady on the side was so angry that she stomped her feet with her handkerchief in her hand and glared at Eunuch De fiercely.

Then he gave instructions to the nanny beside him.

"Go, ask the treasury steward to bring us five hundred thousand taels of silver."

Mammy nodded in agreement and turned to leave...

Not long after, the nanny came in panic to report.

"Master! Madam! It's bad, we are out of money."

After these words were spoken, Eunuch De's face was full of sarcasm.

"If the uncle doesn't want to tell you the truth, there's no need to use these new tricks."

If you don't want to pay, then use this trick. Wait, you won't use the excuse of the mansion being robbed again, right?

Eunuch De looked at the prince with disdain...

The prince-in-law was very angry after hearing what Eunuch De said, but he also felt that it must be the lady who did something.

Asked the nanny.

"what happened?"

Mammy trembled and shivered all over.

"Master, the housekeeper said that the treasury of our uncle's mansion was robbed and all the money is gone."

"Not only were the warehouses robbed, but even the private warehouses in each courtyard were robbed."

The old lady raised the corner of her mouth and nodded to the nanny. As expected of someone close to her, she was so smart.

The nanny looked at the lady nodding and smiling at her, and she was very anxious. Why did she feel that the lady had misunderstood?

How could the uncle not notice his wife's little trick and think it was his wife's doing?

The king's uncle waved to Eunuch Chaode.

"Eunuch De, thank you for your hard work. Please return to the palace first. The Prince's Mansion has been robbed. I will go to the palace to inform the Emperor after I have dealt with it."

Eunuch De's face was full of contempt. He had guessed it right. He would use this trick without giving any money.

Eunuch De said in a sharp and cold voice.

"Since the Prince's Mansion has been robbed, we will return to the palace to report."

"However, when I left the palace, the Emperor specifically told me that if I didn't get the money, I was to pass on a message to the Emperor's uncle."

"The Emperor said that the uncle should be given three days to prepare. Once the three days are up, the uncle will automatically deliver the money to the palace for the Emperor."

"If the money is not delivered within three days, everyone in the Prince's Mansion will be thrown into the Sky Prison."

After explaining the matter, Eunuch De spoke in a sharp and domineering voice to the eunuchs who announced the imperial decree and the imperial guards around him.

"Let's go back to the palace..."

Then he returned to the palace with a large group of people.

As soon as Eunuch De left, the prince was so angry that his fists clenched until they made crackling sounds.

The old lady comforted him with a smile on her face.

"Master, please calm down. I don't believe that the emperor is so heartless."

"Thanks to Madam Li's cleverness, we were able to prevent Eunuch De from asking for the money back today."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Li, who was beside the old lady, knew that the old lady had really misunderstood, and explained anxiously.

"Master and Madam, what this old servant said is true. Our uncle's mansion has been looted."

"What???" The uncle and the old lady were shocked.

Seeing Nanny Li nodding with tears in her eyes, the prince almost fell to the ground and couldn't even stand.

He even asked someone to call the housekeeper to find out the truth.

The prince's uncle thought that it must be the Fifth Prince's doing and said angrily.

"Feng Junche, you deserve to die. Just wait for me."

Just then, a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Master, it's bad. All the money in your property has been looted..."
