Chapter 16
When Jiang Zhengxue saw his sister leaving, he was about to go with her, but Yin Xin pulled him back.

"Master, the lady asked you to wait in the yard!"

After hearing this, Jiang Zhengxue pursed his lips and walked into the yard with a sullen face. It was another boring day!
Ever since he entered the palace, apart from reading, he had written poems and essays every day. In his spare time, he wanted to play in the snow, but he was controlled by Sister Yinxin.

While he was complaining, he looked up and saw a towering Bodhi tree, and his interest immediately came!
No matter how Yinxin obstructed him, he would take off the bodhi seeds and make bracelets for his sister.

Gong Lingyu on the other side was holding a silver box and approaching the Hall of Merit with Chanyun.

There were not only monks standing outside the hall, but also servants from other palaces. Judging by their attire, they should be nobles from all over the city.

The pilgrims inside had not come out yet, so Gong Yuling could only wait with Chanyun.

Waiting and waiting, Chanyun began to yin and yang others.

"Miss, I went out to get some medicine today and met the maid from Wei Mansion. She said that their lady bought a moon-blue fox-sable. You didn't see that her chin was raised to the sky!"

"It is said that the fox and marten are hard to find in the whole Yuanli. The lady of her family spent a lot of money to buy them. After wearing them, they will definitely shine at the persimmon banquet."

"How much money does the fox marten cost? It's just a coat. Can't I afford it?"

"I heard this number!"

Chanyun raised her hand, "Fifty taels!"

"50 taels! 50 taels for a coat?"

"What does the daughter of the Wei family want to do when she dresses so well? Is she trying to steal my brother Ye!"

"It must be! The Wei family's hooves are trembling outward every day, isn't it because they want to overshadow the young lady so that she can become the wife of the Duke of the country!"

"The materials that Miss has been saving for so long have been donated to this silver box. What will you wear to attend the persimmon banquet, Miss?"

Gong Yuling squeezed the silver box tightly, looked around to see if there was no one around, opened the silver box, and simply counted the banknotes. There were probably more than 200 taels.

It is such a waste to spend so much money on a Bodhisattva who neither eats nor buys clothes!
Why not use some to help her shine at the persimmon banquet at the Duke's Mansion? Isn't it more useful than foolishly begging the Bodhisattva?

"Miss, what are you doing?!!"

Chan Yunjian saw Miss carrying the box and went to the tree, grabbed a 50-tael silver note and stuffed it into her waist.

"Shh! Why do you have to let everyone see me?"

"If you don't tell me about this, who will know?"

"But, this is what the eldest lady donated to Guiyuan Temple, and we are still competing for the top five 'excellent' houses this year!"

"What does it matter if it's a little more or a little less! Who can be as generous as us and give us more than 200 taels!"

"After I use this money to buy a fox-sable, which will overwhelm the Wei family's majesty and capture Brother Ye's heart, who else dares to look down on me, Gong Yuling!"

The young lady had made up her mind, and Chanyun had no better idea. She looked around, took the young lady on her arm and prepared to leave.

'Clang! '

A black thing that didn't know where it came from suddenly hit the back of Gong Lingyu's hand.

The silver box fell to the ground, and the banknotes and letters were scattered all over the floor.

"It hurts! Who is it! Who hit me!"

Gong Yuling ignored the silver box and covered her hands to look at the pebbles on the ground. They were black Bodhi seeds!

Chanyun raised her head and happened to see the second young master of the Jiang family lying on the tree trunk with his legs crossed, as if he had been there for a long time, so Jiang Zhengxue had seen what her young lady had just done!

"I thought my sister married into some famous family, but it turned out that she was just a sneaky rat. Not to mention that the money belongs to my sister, but you dare to steal the Bodhisattva's things. Aren't you afraid of retribution?"

"Jiang Zhengxue! You have seen it all!"

Gong Yuling's face seemed to be on fire. Jiang Zhengxue had seen everything she did just now!

"Yes, I saw it! I can see it clearly!"

"I'm going to tell my sister right now and let's see how you explain it!"

Jiang Zhengxue sat up and was about to return along the original path, but Gong Yuling below picked up the pole beside the tree and whipped it directly at Jiang Zhengxue's feet.

"I'm warning you, this is none of your business. If you dare to say it, I will ask my father to drive you back to Jiang Mansion!"

Jiang Zhengxue didn't expect Gong Yuling to take action and almost slipped from the tree. He subconsciously hugged the tree tightly. "You're such a stinky woman. Not only are you sneaking around, but you also want to harm me, right?"

"I'll tell everyone you're a thief when I get down!"

"Cicada Yun! Don't let him come down! Beat him until he obeys!"

Chanyun also found a bamboo and ran to the lady to pick on Jiang Zhengxue.

"Second Young Master, what's wrong?"

Yin Xin, who was hiding in the dark, heard the sound and rushed under the tree, pretending to have just arrived and looking puzzled.

"This has nothing to do with you! Get out of here!"

Yin Xin really didn't intend to take care of it. The young lady was so good at predicting things that she actually guessed that Gong Yuling would do anything to the silver box.

The three of them were making trouble, which also bought Yin Xin a lot of time.

Yin Xin stuffed the prayer book and self-recommendation letter on the ground into her sleeves, gave the second young master a pitiful look and left.

Jiang Zhengxue, who was on the tree, was hit several times by the master and the servant, and he was filled with anger.

Seeing the right moment, he gathered all his strength and pulled the bamboo pole from Gong Yuling's hand, and hit Gong Lingyu's painful foot hard.

"If you hit me, I'll hit you! Let's see who can beat whom!"

This beating made Gong Yuling stunned, angry and anxious, squatting on the ground covering her feet and crying.

Chan Yun couldn't coax him well no matter what.

Jiang Zhengxue got off the tree and saw Gong Lingyu crying fiercely. Those who didn't know what she looked like thought he was the one who made the first move!

Seeing more and more people coming around, Jiang Zhengxue became afraid and his attitude softened.

"Don't cry, don't cry. The worst I can do is not complain. If you don't mess with me in the palace from now on, I will never take it out."

"Really?" Gong Yuling stopped crying immediately!
Chanyun thought that her lady's beauty trap was used well, so she randomly grabbed the banknotes on the ground and put them into the silver box.

On the other side, Yin Xin went to the living room, and happened to meet Mr. Fu bringing Cicada out.

Yin Xin bowed his head after bowing, and closed the door tightly after they left.

"Miss, the things have been taken out."

Yin Xin handed Fu's handwritten prayer letter and self-recommendation letter to the young lady who was sitting and drinking tea.

Jiang Wanhe opened the stove cover next to the table and threw the two letters in. He watched the letters turn to ashes in the flames before standing up.

"Has our silver box been delivered?"

"Sent."

"Just give it as a gift. Two identical silver boxes, one with a letter and one without silver, and one with silver but no money, normal people would think they belong to the same family."

"only."

"How did the young lady know that the second young lady would touch the money in the silver box?"

"Gong Yuling doesn't have the life of a princess, she has the disease of a princess, and the money is placed on her who loves vain comparisons, how can she just watch and not move?"

"But Miss, why do we take such a big risk to squeeze into Wu'you' Mansion?"

"If the head of the family knew it was us who did it, would he blame us?"

"What good things has his own wife and daughter done?"

"If you want to find fault with me, the bowl of water must be leveled. I am still useful to him, how dare he?"

"In my last life, Gong Yuling used the money to flatter her mother-in-law. In this life, the money will naturally be used in critical situations. Let the Wu'you' Mansion be their gift to my father!"

"Miss, what about the previous life?"

Jiang Wanhe laughed and walked out first, "You don't understand even after I told you, come on, follow me to see a good show!"
