Improper cannon fodder for fast wear

Chapter 1434 The Affectionate Male Supporting Wife 39
And just as An Ran thought, Prince Qing's Mansion did survive.

But she said that after King Qing passed away, the first thing that Princess Qing would do was to take down the family of the chief steward next to King Qing, saying that she had definite evidence that they stole her private house back then, and now give them two ways , one is to return her things, she sees that he is an old man in front of the prince, and he was forced to do things for the prince back then, so let it go; the other is to go to the Yamen and steal the huge amount of property from the prince and concubine, it must be a dead word, And the money will still be returned to her.

She was willing to give them the first way, for King Qing's sake, otherwise she would definitely send them to the Yamen.

——Actually, the reason why she doesn’t want to go to the Yamen is really not because she is tolerant, but because if she wants to go to the Yamen, she has to pay for it. Even if the money is returned to her, she doesn’t know how much she has, so if she can do it privately, Naturally, it was better to keep it private, so she offered preferential conditions, deliberately comparing with the second one, in order to force the other party to choose the first one.

As soon as the chief steward heard it, he called out for injustice, saying that it was all the prince's idea, and the money was all given to the prince.

But Princess Qing didn't care about these things, she just asked who stole her money, and if she didn't give it back, she would go to the Yamen. Anyway, she had solid evidence that he exchanged her things for money back then.

Besides, what is wrong with him? Didn't he steal the things?You have the guts to call for injustice after taking her things?If I knew today, why did I listen to King Qing and steal my own things?

There is no way for the chief manager to do anything. Fortunately, he is the confidant of Prince Qing. He has made a lot of money over the years, and he can still afford Princess Qing’s private house. It’s just that he has made almost nothing for all these years, but in fact, he is earning money, isn’t it? What about the money in the mansion, so it was returned to Princess Qing, An Ran felt that this was the right thing to do.

The chief steward has nothing to do at the moment. After all, King Qing is dead. He has no backer. If he doesn’t pay back, he will go to the Yamen. One or two million taels was taken away, but Princess Qing said that if he hadn’t stolen her things, she would have earned two to three million taels these years, so it’s impossible not to give her so much.

Since the manager had already planned to spend money to eliminate the disaster, he gritted his teeth and had no choice but to give it after hearing what Princess Qing said, and his family also had so much money.

Now that the money was in hand, Princess Qing really didn't bother the big steward's family anymore. Anyway, she was satisfied as long as she got the money, after all, what she said meant what she said.

Besides, if she wanted to take away so much money, the steward's family would be very distressed, so she was satisfied.

Of course, the most important thing is that getting 30 million taels is much better than sending the other party to the Yamen. If you send it to the yamen, you can only get back the 20 million taels of the year. It is impossible to get 30 million taels.

Because what she got exceeded the expected goal, Princess Qing was in a good mood, so she was also in the mood to let others go.

Concubine Qing did these things neatly. It can be seen that she is not a fool. The reason why she was suppressed so hard by King Qing back then is not that Princess Qing is incompetent, but because her husband is too big in this era. If she can't, she can't do it. There is no room for her to discuss. Of course, the main reason is that she was negligent in guarding against her husband back then, thinking that no matter how stupid her husband is, he would not steal his money. Otherwise, he would not lose it. See later Since Princess Qing didn't leave any money with her, she knew that Princess Qing was not that kind of incompetent person.

After regaining the stolen money, Princess Qing began to clean up the group of parasites in the mansion.

The so-called parasites refer to those concubines that King Qing brought into the mansion.

Those who have given birth to a child, especially those who have a family, will let the other party and the child move out of the mansion; those whose children are underage, can live in the mansion temporarily, and will move out when they reach adulthood; Like the concubine Wang, she was sent to the family temple. Anyway, King Qing never forced anyone. These women climbed into bed on their own initiative.

Before, King Qing had thought about letting the low-ranking family move out, but because some people wanted to take advantage of the palace, they were unwilling to go out, so they cried and pleaded with King Qing. , The number of these people is not small.

Now that King Qing passed away, Princess Qing asked them to move out, and they also wanted to intercede, but King Qing was their father, even if they didn't have enough money and didn't want to raise them as adults, at least they still had a blood relationship Now, seeing her son crying, she feels soft-hearted. Forget it, Princess Qing has no blood relationship with them, so she will not soften her heart, so no matter how they beg, Princess Qing will not agree to a large group of wives, concubines and children continuing to take advantage of the mansion. , naturally sent them away, insisted on not leaving, and even threw them out directly, anyway, they are all clans, have enfeoffments, mansions, and salaries, so don't be afraid to throw them out, they will sleep on the street , no money to use - it's just that the standard of living will drop after leaving the mansion - so she was scolded for being too poisonous to the concubine.

Those people saw that Princess Qing was merciless, so they had no choice but to leave in despair.

After leaving the adults, especially the married ones, and dozens of concubines without children, the expenditure of the palace quickly dropped, and because they had to go back to the private house because of the big steward, they had more money in their hands, and their lives were easier. It's better, unlike before, King Qing spent all the money he copied, and was about to drink the northwest wind again.

Afterwards, due to the reduction in expenses, the prince's salary and official income are enough for expenses, and there is no need for Princess Qing to subsidize her private house as in the early days.

So Prince Qing's Mansion, because King Qing left, not only did not have a financial collapse, but the situation gradually improved, and An Ran was very happy to see it.

And the king of Deqing County was even happier—without him, after his mother took back the private house from the chief steward, she gave him and his elder brother a land lease of [-] mu each. His annual income increased again, and the life of the family also improved. He could be better, which made him naturally happy.

And He Sanniang, who heard about this, couldn't help regretting it. She secretly thought that King Qing died earlier than Princess Qing, and that Princess Qing could return to her private house. She should have been pestering Prince Deqing in the first place, and she was going to marry The king of Deqing County, the princess will be in front of him at that time, and he will have enough money in his hands, so he can live a good life.

How can it be like this now that her husband only passed the imperial examination as a scholar, and he is still far away from being an official. No, she is just an ordinary woman. Compared with her previous marriage, compared with An Ran, she is like heaven and earth. How can she bear it?
But now she has fallen out with Liu Anran, if she hadn't fallen out before, by taking the opportunity of visiting Liu Anran, she might hook up with the King of Deqing County, in this way, even if she can't be a princess by then, it would be good to be a side concubine, After all, it is better to be a concubine to a rich and powerful county king than to be a wife to the son of a petty official.
