After the divorce, I pursued the Ninth Prince 100 times.

Shen Nanxing turned his head and saw a yellow cushion placed on the ground in the middle of the hall. Fine bumps could be faintly seen on the surface of the cushion.

When people see it, they can't help but feel a chill in their hearts.

She knew it well, that cushion was clearly prepared for her by Concubine Duan...

If you kneel down, your knees will definitely be seriously injured. If you kneel for a long time, it is hard to say whether you can walk normally in the future.

Suddenly, I felt relieved that she brought Xie Tingyu with her...

The hearts of people in this palace are complicated, and all kinds of treacherous methods are used. If you are not careful, you may be doomed and destroyed without leaving anything behind.

I don't know how Fu Jiuli survived in this palace, how he rose to power step by step, and how he still has such power over the government and the country...

He must have suffered a lot.

Shen Nanxing felt a little depressed for a moment.

Since her son said so, Concubine Duan had to give up for the time being even though she disliked Shen Nanxing.

She winked at the maid beside her, and someone immediately took away the yellow cushion in the hall.

Xie Tingyu naturally stepped forward and massaged Concubine Duan's shoulders. "Mother, you are always so magnanimous and understanding. How could you bully my son's princess? I just missed you because it's been a while. My father happened to summon me, and since I had enough time, I took this opportunity to come and see you."

These words touched Concubine Duan's heart. Her anger immediately disappeared, and she smiled sincerely: "You have a conscience and still think about my mother..."

"Your father summoned you today, is it because of the flood in Liang Province?"

Xie Tingyu nodded, his face full of satisfaction. "Indeed, after many days of deliberation, I have now worked out a good plan with my staff. We will surely be able to quickly quell this disaster in Liang Province."

"Today, I will report this good plan to Father. If nothing unexpected happens, I will set off for Liangzhou in three days."

Concubine Duan patted her son's hand with satisfaction and said, "Your father has entrusted you with such an important task as controlling the flood in Liang Province. This is a great trust in you. You must do your best and don't let your father down!"

"Don't worry, I will definitely fulfill my mission!"

"Okay, okay! Mother is waiting for your celebration banquet. When this is accomplished, your father will definitely look at you with admiration!" There was a sincere smile and pride in Concubine Duan's eyes.

Both of them were immersed in the joy of being about to make a great contribution, and no one noticed the strange expression on Shen Nanxing's face as he stood in the hall.

The best strategy Xie Tingyu mentioned was to build high embankments to block the surging river water, and then build many reservoirs throughout Liangzhou to manually transfer the excess water into the reservoirs.

Contempt flashed in Shen Nanxing's eyes.

This method is the dumbest one. Anyone can come up with it. Why would it take days to think about it? Is it worth proudly publicizing?

Moreover, this method is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also extremely expensive.

In the previous life, this matter was done by Xie Tingyu. He submitted a memorial requesting 100,000 taels of silver, which was allocated to him by His Majesty.

Before leaving, he said he was worried that there was not enough silver, so he took away another 50,000 taels of silver from her dowry!

She even remembered how he had tricked her.

He said that if this matter was accomplished, it would be a great achievement, not only saving the people of Liangzhou, but also gaining the emperor's appreciation. If he were to crown him crown prince in the future, she would be the crown princess, the future empress, and the mother of the country...

He said a lot of nice words.

Of course, she gave him the money in the end because she would have given it to him if he had asked her for it, even without any reason. It wasn't because of his high-sounding words...

And that silver was almost all of her dowry. She even sold all the shops, farms and valuable jewelry under her name to raise 50,000 taels of silver for him.

As a result, she lived in extreme poverty and had not bought any new clothes or jewelry since her marriage. She had already sold the more expensive jewelry she had brought from the Marquis' Mansion and used the money to pay for it to him.

Even so, she was in charge of the palace's finances, and the public treasury was not enough. She could only supplement her income from her meager dowry every month...

Her life could be said to be quite hard. She usually dressed simply. When the ladies in the capital asked her about it, she just said that she liked to dress that way.

What the hell does she like?! She obviously likes beautiful, shiny gold jewelry and all kinds of red dresses... She just doesn't have the money to buy them...

She also used to buy cakes and sweet wine from Zuixinzhai, but she would only buy a little bit during festivals or when she was really hungry.

When the shopkeeper of Zuixinzhai asked why she bought less, she could only answer that her taste had changed and she didn't like sweets anymore...

What else could she do? Should she tell everyone that her dowry had all gone to Prince Jing, and that his salary wasn't enough to support the family, so she had to live a tight life?

The most hateful thing is that Xie Tingyu clearly knew the reason for her embarrassment, but he spent a lot of money to support Shen Zhiyi who lived in Xinlanyuan!

Turning back to Shen Zhiyi, she said, "Shen Nanxing doesn't even know how to dress herself. She wears the same clothes over and over again, like a country girl. How can she compare to Yi'er?"

But he never thought about why she, the only legitimate daughter of the Nanyang Marquis's Mansion, had fallen to this point!

Shen Nanxing recalled his past life and really wanted to slap his past self in the face!

So stupid!

Especially later, when Xie Tingyu was escorted by Fu Jiuli and cried and apologized in front of her grave, he mentioned that the flood in Liangzhou did not cost as much as 150,000 taels of silver, but only 110,000 taels.

She was about to explode with rage!

This scumbag actually used her money to support his mistress!!!

When Shen Nanxing thought of this, he couldn't even breathe. It was so infuriating!

"South Star, South Star..."

Shen Nanxing suddenly woke up and realized that she had been reborn and was now in Concubine Duan's Xiyue Palace with Xie Tingyu.

She took a deep breath and felt a little calmer.

Her silver is still there, but she will never give him a penny in this life!

"Nanxing, what are you thinking? No matter how I call you, you won't agree?"

When Shen Nanxing looked up, she saw Xie Tingyu talking to her with a smile in his eyes. And the Duan Fei sitting next to him looked at her with a loving expression.

"Nanxing, are you tired of standing?"

Concubine Duan asked with a smile, then suddenly her smile faded and she scolded the maidservants beside her: "What are you doing? Seeing Princess Jing standing there, don't you know how to move a chair?"

Seeing the maid tremblingly apologize and then go to move the chair, Concubine Duan's face was covered with a smile again: "Nanxing, don't blame mother. It was mother who was inconsiderate. Mother hasn't seen Prince Jing for a long time. I was so happy talking to him that I neglected you."

Shen Nanxing was confused and subconsciously took a step back.

what happened?

Didn't he just want to prick her with a needle? Why is he suddenly so enthusiastic?
