You Know My Love - Chapter 12
Normally, when Yun Chen and Jiang Rongyu ate together, their gazes would fly all over the place.
The atmosphere at the edge of the courtyard had been completely different since the moment Su Xian arrived.
If it was before, Yun Chen would probably be happier because of Jiang Rongyu, but now, Yun Chen’s thoughts were not on Jiang Rongyu.
If there is any error in the step, then the person who receives it is small. Now that the Crown Prince had not been decided, everyone had a chance. They naturally hoped that they wouldn’t have any stains on themselves.
Most importantly, although he did not want to admit it, Yun Chen, the unarmed duke, was really lacking in money …
Although it was freer to leave the palace and it was more convenient to move up and down, it was obvious that the palace was in charge of everything he ate and drank in the palace.
After exiting the palace and establishing a residence, the expenses of the residence were naturally dug out from the prince’s salary.
It was unknown if the emperor had forgotten on purpose or not. Although they had been conferred the title of king, the princes and princes of each manor had not received any rewards. Each of them waited pitifully for the annual salary that was given to them during the new year.
There were some princesses who were powerful, but they could also look for more output. They could also look for a few manors to bring back their talents. In just a few years, they would be able to recover.
Some princes specially took in a few concubines that were family merchants, and they also entered the mansion with quite a bit of money.
In this way, the amount of money he had was naturally only a small amount, not much at all.
Previously, Su Xian didn’t say anything, but when he thought about it, he felt annoyed and intentionally made herself forget about it. But now, Su Xian had directly brought it up.
“Prince …” Although Jiang Rongyu could move, her joints were still extremely sore. She looked at Yun Chen with hidden hatred in her heart.
She was currently flustered because of Su Xian’s words. She would often stay by Yun Chen’s side, so she could more or less sense Yun Chen’s temperament. Once he revealed that expression, she would probably believe his lies!
Jiang Rongyu clenched his teeth, and looked at Su Xian who was seated on the other side, eating her food slowly, and grinded his teeth. “Princess Hua-Yang is so interested, those who don’t know better might think that the Duke Palace is starving you.”
“Let’s have a good meal first. Who knows when the next one will be.” Su Xian smiled, and was not the least bit annoyed, “I just got born, I really need to eat some good supplements. And today, thanks to Miss Jiang, we won’t have such a good meal. ”
There was no limit to the rules. Even the masters of the mansion had a rule about their meals. There were only a few dishes and several soups along with a few sweet snacks.
However, the cost of the best and lowest grade of dishes were practically as high as the mud in the sky.
Yun Chen really did not know how to manage brothels, but he did find a good accountant.
The other Su Xian was not easy to reveal, but understood without even thinking about it.
The manor was about to run out of money.
“Let’s eat first.” Yun Chen’s eyes flashed, suppressing the desire to ask, he looked deeply at Su Xian, and gave her some food to eat. It could be considered as calming her heart, “Let’s talk after eating.”
Jiang Rongyu’s heart became calmer. Following Yun Chen’s posture, even if it really had something to do with her, Yun Chen had already given himself a peace of mind.
She shyly smiled, and politely gave Yun Chen some food as well: “Prince, you should also have a taste. Chef Fang, this duck, has always been delicious.”
“Miss Jiang is very clear, it seems like he has eaten quite a bit.” Su Xian chuckled, and tilted her head with a smile, “Let’s say what’s still delicious? Next time, I’ll let the kitchen do it too. ”
Jiang Rongyu could not help but look at her with a look of superiority. What kind of joke was that, the people in the kitchen were the ones who liked to flatter others the most, and normally, they would just eat as much as they liked, and these kinds of food were always time-consuming and useless, how could she possibly come just like that?
“Didn’t I say to eat first?” A trace of anger flashed across Yun Chen’s eyes.
“What the Prince said to the Miss Jiang is not what he said to me.” Su Xian smiled as she shook Wang Wang who was sleeping beside her in the cradle.
Having a child was not good at all. There was no one by her side that cared about her, and she had to keep an eye on the child whenever she came out to do something.
It seemed that he would have to put on a schedule to find a few maids in the future.
Su Xian was distracted for a bit, but when she regained her senses, the smile on her face immediately became much brighter.
She put down her chopsticks and politely opened the account book for Yun Chen: “Since Your Highness is busy eating, then I’ll help you look through it so that you can be introduced. It just so happens to be about eating. Let me look around. Aiya, this is the account for this month’s kitchen. ”
“The prince wants my housekeeper, so I must properly show him, lest I betray his trust.” Su Xian said righteously, “Your highness, guess how much silver is needed for our table? Eighty taels of silver. Your Highness, it’s fine if you don’t understand this 80 taels, but let’s use the equipment worn by your soldiers as an example. This 80 taels of silver is enough for a complete set of 10 soldiers. ”
Su Xian naturally came prepared today, so she unhurriedly flipped to the page for Yun Chen’s personal guard account. “Your Highness, don’t let me say whatever I want, all of the black and white words were written down by Mr. Accountant. It cannot be faked. ”
Yun Chen looked at Su Xian’s finger, slightly lost in thought. Ten sets! His heart ached! He would rather Su Xian hadn’t said anything! Right now, he really wanted to return the food and get someone to spit out the silver.
“This is simply presumptuous. If used on your highness, I will use even one hundred and two thousand silvers. How can those private soldiers be compared with me? ” Jiang Rongyu’s heart was thrown into panic, and her expression turned even colder. “Is the wangfei saying that the prince is extravagant and wasteful?”
“Miss Jiang, you are accusing the King unjustly. I am talking about you.” Su Xian paused, and with a helpless look, she shook his head, “It’s rare to see a meal like this in this mansion after you’ve been here for a few days.”
Although it was rare, Jiang Rongyu had lived in the palace for a long time now.
When Su Xian said this, Yun Chen’s heart began to ache.
A few days of hard work, wasn’t that a lot more than eighty taels?!
Su Xian had come to stab him in the heart!
