Chapter 761 Both Want and Want

Li Fucheng took Jin Yiwei and ransacked Shi Lang's house.

He ordered his subordinates not to harass the female family members of the Shi family, and not to smash and rob indiscriminately. They only took away the money, porcelain, antique calligraphy and paintings in Shi Lang's private treasury.

The rest of the women's family's belongings were left untouched.

These private belongings of Shi Lang were sent to the palace for a rough calculation, and the total value was at least more than 200 million taels.

In the past two years, the imperial court has been in a tense war. Just fighting the Japanese pirates has cost a lot of money, and it has suffered from floods and droughts one after another, so it is still very short of money.

When Li Fucheng sent the money to the emperor, the emperor was not only happy, but also shocked.

There is so much money in the private treasury of a mere courtier.

With so many princes and ministers in the court, can you guarantee that all of them are clean?
Empress Hua was blunt, and said what the emperor was thinking: "Let Mr. Li investigate carefully, and copy all those who have embezzled and accepted bribes, and the court will not be short of money!"

The emperor coughed lightly: "Ministers try their best to do things for the court, and the family also needs money to live. Everyone is living a miserable life, who is willing to do things for the court."

"So, His Majesty doesn't really care about ministers taking bribes?"

"Of course I hate this kind of thing. But..." the emperor sighed, "It's hard to have both. If you don't feed the horse well, how can you expect the horse to run away?"

Empress Hua said with emotion: "Being the emperor is also quite difficult."

Accompanied by sister-in-law Murong Qing, Ying Ning went shopping outside, buying jewelry, fabrics and other things needed for the big wedding.

She is still very interested in shiny jewellery. With Ci'er and Murong Qing on her arm, she carefully selects jewellery. When she is tired from shopping, she sits down at a wonton stand and eats a bowl of steaming fresh meat wontons. .

Murong Qing was born in a scholarly family, and he never went out for shopping when he was in the boudoir, let alone sitting at a street stall and eating in front of people coming and going.

She found it very novel, with curved lips and sparkling eyes, she cooled the wontons with a small spoon and fed them to Ci'er.

Yingning does not advocate pampering her son, she can let him walk on her own, she never hugs her, and after one year old, she no longer actively feeds him.

But seeing the separation was imminent, no matter how much Murong Qing pampered Ci'er, Ying Ning didn't say anything.

She buried her head in eating her own wonton, and let Murong Qing feed Ci'er mouthful by mouthful.

Ying Ning is not married yet, she is dressed as a girl in a boudoir, and she talks to her with a smile like a vendor's boss.

"Madame's younger sister is really handsome."

Murong Qing glanced at Yingning after hearing the words.

Her cheeks are bulging, her eyes are really like two pools of autumn water, and her creamy white skin has a touch of pink, which is really beautiful and watery.

Murong Qing reached out and pinched Ying Ning's cheek, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your compliment, my sister is indeed born well."

The proprietress wiped her hands and said with a smile: "I don't know if the girl is a matchmaker? I have a good family here, and Mr. Xiaolang has already been selected as a scholar. He has a future, but his family is poor."

Murong Qing frowned, and was about to reprimand her for not knowing the rules, but Ying Ning had already smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Madam, our family is even poorer, and we still owe [-] to [-] usury. I don't know if that young gentleman would mind?"

The proprietress was taken aback, and glanced at Yingning and Murong Qing's attire: "Miss Madam, it doesn't look like..."

"We're just superficial, we only have two hearts to go out, but in fact, the house is already empty." Ying Ning smiled, "Auntie help me find out, if that family is willing to repay the usury for me, I will Agree to this marriage."
