Six years later, the princess came back with three cubs

Chapter 12 I want to fight her, but I'm a little tender!
Hearing that Mu Yanxi asked for 1 taels of silver, everyone thought it was a lion's mouth, but when Mu Yanxi calculated each item carefully, they also felt that it should be so.

Then he clicked his tongue again, although the prime minister's mansion is extremely rich, but only one prostitute spent 1 taels of silver in six years, which is too extravagant and wasteful.

With deep thoughts, it is inevitable to wonder whether Mu Yuanlin is greedy for ink.

Although Mu Yuanlin was a prime minister, his annual salary plus various rewards, 5000 taels of silver topped the sky.

The Mu's family has a big business, and the servants add up to nearly two hundred people. The annual expenses of one daughter alone is 500 taels of silver, not counting the other female relatives in the backyard. How can the gap be made up for?
Even the high-ranking Emperor Dongfeng couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Sixteen sets of new clothes throughout the year? Mu Aiqing really loves daughters dearly. A prostitute's expenses are as extravagant as my princess's."

Mu Yuanlin was terrified, "This is just a child's one-sided words, and there are not so many in reality."

"Grandfather, how can you lie in front of the emperor? I'm not talking nonsense about sixteen sets of new clothes a year. You can go to Ruyifang to find out. My aunt makes at least ten sets of new clothes in Ruyifang every year. In addition, there are famous clothing stores such as Jinxiu Pavilion, Suxuexuan, etc. My aunt is a regular customer, so how can I get [-] or [-] sets of new clothes in a year?"

"you shut up!"

"Mu Aiqing, are these all true?"

Facing Emperor Dongfeng's accusation, Mu Yuanlin had no way to refute. His daughter Mu Xi's clothing, food, housing and transportation were indeed extravagant, but half of them came from the Qi Palace, but in front of Emperor Dongfeng and all the officials, how could he have the face to say so.

Although the daughter fell in love with Jun Moyi, she spent such a huge amount of money from the man's family before she got married. Not to mention the damage to her boudoir's reputation, Dongfeng Emperor was even more dissatisfied.

For the sake of his daughter's reputation, he must hold his nose and shoulder this scapegoat.

"I beg your majesty to forgive me. Since the eldest daughter was gone, I have become a little bit used to Xi'er. From now on, I must reflect on my past and cultivate myself."

Seeing that Mu Yuanlin had admitted his mistake, Emperor Dongfeng didn't ask too many questions.

At this time, Mrs. Mu finally realized that Mu Ning was no longer the idiot girl who allowed herself to be bullied six years ago.

But if she wanted to calm things down, she had to see whether Mu Ning's mother and son agreed.

"So, grandma, when are you going to give the 80 taels to my mother? My mother is a weak girl, and it's not easy to support the three of us."

Mrs. Mu also reacted very quickly, "Good boy, since you are back, the Mu residence will not ignore you, you don't need to worry about your daily travels, don't worry."

"That's it, then can we go out to eat and buy things like Auntie did, and pay the bill of the Mu family?"

"Silly boy, just tell me what you want, and I'll send my servants to buy it."

"Oh, then you can give mother 80 taels of silver first, I want this."

No matter how well Madam Mu pretended, she couldn't help but change her face, "You child, it's money for you to keep your mouth shut. At your age, you should put your studies first. After the birthday banquet, I will definitely invite Feng The best teacher in the capital will teach you."

"Grandma, you're not talking about the kind of teacher who taught uncle Kung Fu?"

Mrs. Mu's face froze, "Of course not, what I'm talking about is the professor of knowledge..."

"Okay, what are you talking about with a child, you are not afraid of the emperor's jokes!"

Mu Yuanlin pretended to stop his wife impatiently, but actually passed the steps for her.

Mrs. Mu was also smart, and immediately apologized, "It's my concubine's disrespect, and I feel a little uncomfortable, please allow me to leave first."

"Mrs. Mu, it's better not to leave, otherwise I will have to ask someone to come back later, and it's a waste of time to come and go."

It wasn't until they heard Mu Ning's words that everyone thought about the business.

Under the order of Emperor Dongfeng, Imperial Physician Liu was soon invited to the birthday banquet.

"Emperor Liu, at the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet six years ago, you took the pulse of King Qin, but do you still remember the pulse and King Qin's condition?"

Doctor Liu used the cover of wiping sweat, his eyes rolled around, obviously thinking about how to answer.

At this time, Mu Yanxi suddenly walked towards Imperial Physician Liu, and flicked his small snow-white hand on Imperial Physician Liu's shoulder.

"There's a bug."

Facing Doctor Liu's puzzled eyes, Mu Yanxi pretended to be innocent and spread out her small hand. In the palm of her hand was a small bug that looked like a bee.

No one cared about Mu Yanxi's move, because Imperial Physician Liu spoke up.

"...According to Weichen's diagnosis, King Qin was poisoned by a kind of love poison called Hehuansan that night. There is no cure for this poison. The only thing is, the only way is to have sex with a woman."

Doctor Liu's words did not cause much reaction, after all, everyone knew about it at that time, and everyone believed that the person who poisoned was Mu Ning.

"Physician Liu, from a pharmacological point of view, what do you think of the medicinal properties of Acacia powder? Is it easy to prepare?"

"Acacia powder is evil, but it is a strange medicine. Not to mention its preparation, it is not easy to even buy it. As far as Weichen knows, only Jiuzhentang sells it in the entire Fengjing City, and the price is extremely expensive."

Mu Ning nodded, and turned to Emperor Dongfeng to ask for orders, "Your Majesty, I would like to invite the shopkeeper of Jiuzhen Hall to come and ask questions."

Hearing that Mu Ning wanted the shopkeeper of Jiuzhentang to testify, Mrs. Mu's face flashed contempt.

"Ning'er, you don't know that Jiuzhentang relies on its reputation in the world. They will never disclose the buyer's information under any circumstances. Even if you invite the shopkeeper, it won't prove anything."

"Can you prove it? We'll know when someone comes."

The shopkeeper of Jiuzhentang was quickly invited to the birthday banquet.

"Excuse me, shopkeeper Zhu, is Hehuansan a secret medicine unique to your shop?"

"Yes."

"Excuse me, did anyone buy Hehuansan in your store six years ago?"

The shopkeeper glanced at Mu Ning, and said with a slight smile, "Please forgive me, Jiuzhentang has a rule that it never discloses any information about the buyer to outsiders."

"Can't you speak in front of the emperor?"

"Yes, please forgive me, the emperor. This is the rule set by the first head of Jiuzhen Hall, and everyone in Jiuzhen Hall must abide by the rules, otherwise death penalty will be inevitable."

Hearing this, Mrs. Mu's eyes quickly flashed a look of satisfaction.

Back then, in order to train her daughter Mu Xi, she specially handed over this matter to the other party.

The medicine was bought by a new servant girl who entered the mansion. After the incident was completed, the maid was sold to the border by her. She was infected with the plague and died. Even if Jiuzhentang told the person who bought the medicine, it would not be involved. on her and her daughter.

The little bitch wanted to fight her, but she was a little tender.

"Ning'er, let's forget it. Don't make things difficult for shopkeeper Zhu anymore. Just pretend that you didn't buy the medicine. It's already happened, and it won't help if you pursue it."
