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

After throwing Shen Zhiyi out, the house suddenly became quiet.

Shen Nanxing took another sip of tea and glanced jokingly at someone who was about to slip away while no one was paying attention.

"Where are you going, housekeeper?"

The butler, who was hunched over with one foot already out of the door, suddenly heard the princess calling him, stumbled, and tripped over the threshold.

He fell to the ground in a very miserable state, causing the maids and servants to burst into laughter.

His face turned pale and blue, and he quickly stood up and bowed, "What do you want, Princess?"

Where could he go? Of course he would go to the prince to make the decision...

And there was Miss Zhiyi, the prince's beloved sweetheart. He couldn't really let her be left on the street in that state.

After all, she is the prince's woman. How embarrassing it would be if someone saw her?

Of course, the most important thing is that the princess is chasing people away and taking things away, so the prince will definitely be angry... Once the prince is angry, the princess may not necessarily do anything, but he, as an innocent bystander, will definitely be affected!

He had to go find the prince before things got out of control.

But Shen Nanxing didn't give him any chance at all.

She ordered, "Butler, sell all the valuables in this house, and sell this house as well. Exchange them for silver notes and give them to this princess."

The housekeeper's eyes widened in shock.

This was the house he had bought with great difficulty. It was close to Prince Jing's Mansion and was just the right size and fit in every aspect. The prince was very satisfied with it and even praised him for his efficiency!

This... is it sold now?

"Princess, this...this is inappropriate!"

Shen Nanxing sneered, "What the housekeeper means is that as the principal wife of Prince Jing, I have no right to dispose of the palace's property?"

"Of course not, but I feel that since the prince was the one who bought this house, if you want to sell it, at least inform the prince..."

The butler's voice grew softer as he spoke, and under the princess's naked gaze, cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

"Can't be sold?" Shen Nanxing's voice was extremely cold.

The hall was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop, and an invisible pressure swept over.

The butler's legs were shaking, cold sweat broke out on his forehead, and he fell to his knees with a thud.

"Sell it! The princess can do whatever she wants with the assets in the palace..."

How could a woman like the princess be scarier than the prince...

Shen Nanxing nodded with satisfaction: "In that case, then sell it!"

"As for the remaining valuable items in the Xinlan Garden of the Wangfu, everything that can be sold has been sold."

"And the shops, farms, and fertile fields under the palace's name—sell them all!"

The more the butler listened, the paler his face became. The princess was going to sell out all the assets in the palace!

It's worth it!

But she only paused, then continued, "Butler, do you have the key to the prince's private vault?"

The housekeeper was about to faint, but he didn't dare not answer: "Yes... they are in my hands, but they are all the prince's personal things. Without the prince's order, they cannot be touched..."

Shen Nanxing waved her hand: "Don't worry! The prince needs a lot of money to make achievements, and he is trying to find a way to raise the money! He can't sleep at night because of this matter. I can't just sit there and wait for death, so I have to make some plans for him..."

"Well, you exchange all the things in the prince's private treasury into silver notes and send them to this princess."

"Send it today!"

Before she could finish her words, she saw the housekeeper's eyes roll back and he was about to faint.

She then said, "Nuan'an, it seems that the housekeeper is not feeling well. Then you can do these things! The housekeeper must have something as important as the key to the prince's private vault. Go and look for it..."

The housekeeper, who was about to faint, suddenly came to his senses upon hearing this and said, "Princess, I can do it. I'm in good health. I won't bother Miss Nuan'an anymore!"

"I'll do it right now!" He stood up and was about to leave.

We must inform the prince immediately. Something terrible has happened! The princess is going to make a scene!

But before he could even leave the door, he heard the princess' devilish voice coming faintly from behind him.

"With such a big matter, I'm afraid the housekeeper alone can't handle it. Nuan'an, you go with them and help if you see where they need help."

"Yes, Princess." Nuan'an appeared beside the butler in an instant.

The butler fell again.

Wasn't this Nuan'an the maid he personally bought for the princess by going to the pawnshop?

How...how come your kung fu is so good?

The housekeeper was in despair, as if he had lost his parents.

......

Prince Jing's mansion was bustling with activity.

However, Xie Tingyu, the Prince of Jing, knew nothing about all this. He submitted a memorial to his father and has now been summoned into the palace by his father.

He is currently speaking incessantly in the imperial study, outlining his strategy for controlling the flood in Liangzhou.

He was initially upset today because Shen Nanxing had taken things from Xinlan Garden without permission. But after leaving Nanyang Marquis Mansion, he met with several colleagues to discuss the specific details of how to deal with the flood in Liangzhou.

A colleague introduced him to a very talented person. Although the person was a commoner, he was very knowledgeable when talking about serious matters and gave him many good ideas.

If we deal with the flood in Liangzhou according to his ideas, we can save a lot of money. Only about 65,000 taels of silver will be needed to complete all the tasks.

In this case, he could ask his father for 80,000 taels, which would have saved him 20,000 taels on the surface. Not only would he receive his father's praise, but he could also secretly receive 15,000 taels, in addition to the 50,000 taels Shen Nanxing had promised him...

Sixty-five thousand taels of silver for free!

Now he felt very relieved.

Shen Nanxing could just take those things from Xinlanyuan! He could buy them for Yier later. With money, who would be afraid of not being able to buy good things?

But he spoke clearly and eloquently in the imperial study, breaking down the strategy he had just discussed with that capable man one by one, and he thought he would be praised by his father.

But unexpectedly, after listening to it, the emperor only said lightly: "Not bad, you have made progress."

He closed his letter and said nothing more.

This situation was completely beyond his expectations. He was silent for a while, and his father showed no intention of speaking again. He even continued to read the ministers' memorials as if no one was around.

Unable to hold it in any longer, he took the initiative to ask, "Father, I plan to leave for Liangzhou in two days to deal with the flood. I estimate the cost to be around 80,000 taels of silver. Do you think this is appropriate?"

He was extremely proud. When Prince Ling quelled the plague in Jicheng, he spent a full 110,000 taels of silver!

The emperor finally looked up, his expression strange, his pupils dark and unclear: "Eighty thousand taels of silver, is that enough?"
