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

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.

With tears and snot, she said, "Your Highness, I am only following orders! All of this was ordered by the princess. Because she is your princess, I dare not disobey her!"

"And the princess said that you were anxious to get the fifty thousand taels of silver, and even couldn't sleep at night because of it. I just wanted to share your worries, Your Highness..."

"You are a magnanimous person. Even if I have done something wrong, please spare my life for all the years I have devoted to the palace. Okay?"

The old housekeeper was in tears and looked very pitiful.

The two guards had already stepped forward, but since the prince hadn't spoken again, they didn't dare to move and could only wait.

Seeing that the prince ignored him but did not give any more orders, the old butler knew that his life was temporarily saved.

He wiped his sweaty forehead and cautiously suggested, "Your Highness, it was the Princess who said that she is the head mistress of the palace and has the right to dispose of the palace's assets... If you are angry about this, why not wait for the Princess to return and speak to her face to face?"

But in her heart, she was complaining that the couple's affairs should be resolved by the couple themselves! Why drag this innocent old man into this?

But Xie Tingyu's expression became even colder: "She won't come back!"

The butler was confused. He didn't understand what the prince meant by "not coming back". He didn't know how to react for a moment. He just knelt there in a daze, holding the prince's legs with his hands.

"That's enough!" Xie Tingyu kicked the butler away impatiently.

"Where did all the things from Xinlan Garden go? Redeem everything that can be redeemed, and buy better ones for the ones that can't be redeemed..."

"Ah..." The housekeeper was stunned again. He had just sold it yesterday, and now he wanted to redeem it again today?

He was a little embarrassed: "This... This trip will probably cost a lot of money..."

The pawnshop doesn't just ask for the amount of money they gave you to redeem your belongings; they only want that much money, even if it's several times the amount...

"Go quickly!"

Seeing that the butler was still standing there motionless, Xie Tingyu roared again.

The housekeeper's body shook violently, and he quickly got up and went out, but he just let out a long sigh quietly.

Shen Zhiyi's black eyes sparkled with tears, and he looked pitiful: "Brother Yu, these things can be sold. It doesn't matter if Yi'er doesn't want them."

"The money you raised will definitely be useful, so don't waste it on Zhier..." She cried anxiously as she spoke, tears streaming down her face.

When Xie Tingyu saw her like this, his heart softened. He hugged her in his arms and comforted her gently: "Those are things Yi'er likes. Brother Yu will naturally keep them for Yi'er!"

"But the money..." The woman was still worried.

"Shen Nanxing won't be able to come back. Her dowry is generous and will be considered an asset of the palace in the future..."

A vicious look flashed in the man's eyes.

That woman was infused with a rejuvenating fragrance, and now that she hasn't returned home all night, she must have either exploded and died, or she must have been having an affair with some strange man...

No matter what the situation is, her dowry and the Mingwei Iron Cavalry will rightfully belong to him!

Just then, a guard came hurriedly to report.

"Your Majesty, the princess is back!"
