Chapter 63 Dividing the spoils
Su Nanyi nodded: "That's no problem, are there any other questions?"

She was pregnant and it was not suitable for her to wear beautiful dresses.

Also, she didn't understand the palace rules very well. She had only been to the palace once, when she got married, to express her gratitude to the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. She had been there once with Ling Xiao, and had never been to the palace again since then.

"There is nothing else. If there is, I will tell you."

"Ah."

Su Nanyi responded softly.

"Can you understand the account book?"

Seeing that she was indifferent and just looking at the account book, Ling Xiao felt uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to ask.

Su Nanyi nodded: "Not bad."

Ling Xiao asked curiously: "Then can you see any problems in this account book?"

Su Nanyi nodded: "Of course I can see it, but I have no way to verify it."

"Oh."

Ling Xiao was quite surprised. Rumor had it that Su Nanyi was cowardly, not proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, or painting, and not good at housekeeping. He didn't expect that she could actually understand the account books.

The accountant of Prince Rong's Mansion was hired by him at a high price, and not everyone could see that there were problems with the accounts he made.

It seems that rumors cannot be fully trusted.

So he walked over and asked, "What's the problem?"

Seeing him coming over, Su Nanyi pointed at the stool and said, "Your Majesty, if you want to see it, please sit down first. I will show it to you."

Ling Xiao nodded and sat down.

Su Nanyi placed the problematic account book in front of him and pointed out a few items at random.

"Take a look at this, are these normal?"

Ling Xiao looked at her slender hands pointing at the account book, and his heart moved. He had the urge to hold it and play with it.

It was the first time I saw her hands up close, and I didn’t expect them to be so beautiful, much more beautiful than Li Yuzhu’s hands.

He couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Then he looked at the accounts and wondered, "Isn't this normal?"

Su Nanyi rolled her eyes at him: "Is this normal? Are all the masters in the mansion pigs? You don't know how much you can eat. Look at these things. We buy them every day, and there are so many. How much can you eat in a day?"

Ling Xiao's face looked uglier than if he had eaten shit. What the hell was this woman saying, comparing him, the great Prince Rong, to a pig.

Then his face darkened and he looked at the accounts carefully. He would not have thought so until he looked at them, but now he saw that it was just as Su Nanyi said.

There are only a few masters in Prince Rong's Mansion. Even if they are fed like pigs, they cannot eat so much.

He slammed the table and said, "Asshole."

Su Nanyi rolled her eyes at him and said, "Why are you using so much force? Don't scare me."

"Oh!"

Ling Xiao realized belatedly that he had used up all his strength. He glanced at Su Nanyi, who looked calm and composed, and said, "These accounts cannot be cleared. How are you going to prevent future accounts?"

Su Nanyi curled her lips and said, "I have my own clever plan, so please don't worry about it, Your Majesty. But I will definitely take good care of Prince Rong's Mansion for Your Majesty, and will not let those traitors empty the Palace again."

These all belong to her sons, and she must keep them safe for both of them.

Ling Xiao snorted coldly: "I will wait and see."

"No need to wait and see. Prince Rong's Mansion will belong to my son in the future, so of course I have to protect Prince Rong's Mansion well."

Su Nanyi was not afraid of Ling Xiao getting angry at all, and said whatever she thought.

"Are you sure you're pregnant with a son?"

Ling Xiao laughed out of anger. He wasn't dead yet, but she was already planning for her son. How bold she was.

Su Nanyi curled her lips, she turned her head and looked at Ling Xiao: "Your Highness, do you hope that the baby in my belly is a son or a daughter?"

Ling Xiao's mouth twitched: "Of course I hope he is a son." The royal family would never complain about having too many sons. When he sits in that position in the future, he will only complain about not having enough sons, not having too many.

"That's it."

Su Nanyi raised the corner of her mouth, thinking that it was not just one son, but two.

Ling Xiao was a little distracted when he saw her playful look. He quickly retracted his gaze and said uncomfortably, "Then you can take your time to watch. I have some things to deal with when I go back."

"Then I will see you off respectfully."

Su Nanyi wanted to see him off, but he held her back: "You are pregnant, you don't need to perform the ceremony."

After saying that, he hurried out.

Su Nanyi looked at his back as he fled in panic and felt a little confused.

Since the accounts are already like this, it’s better not to look at them. Then he called Mo Lian and asked them to send all the accounts back to the housekeeper.

From now on, the accounts will be brought to her for review every day.

After the butler settled the account book, he heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that although the princess appeared to be fierce, she actually had no ability and could not see that there was anything wrong with the account book.

He just felt a little painful when he thought that he could no longer be greedy for money like before, but he still sent Mo Lian and the others away with a smile.

After dinner, Su Nanyi did not go to bed so early. She was waiting for Mo Lian and the others to come back.

The housekeeper and the accountant both lived in the mansion, in the backyard of Prince Rong's mansion.

That was a house specially for servants to live in.

The guards there were also much weaker. Mo Lian and his men avoided the secret guards of Prince Rong's Mansion and sneaked in quietly.

After entering, they sprinkled a handful of medicine powder in the housekeeper and the accountant's room. When they saw that they were sleeping as soundly as dead pigs, they began to search the house.

They searched the house for a long time and only found some scattered items.

Later, they moved the bed where the two people slept away and saw the loose floor under the bed. They pried up the floor and found a large box.

Looking at the big box, several people's eyes were shining, and then they carried the two big boxes back without anyone noticing.

When they came back, it was almost midnight.

Su Nanyi hadn't slept yet. She excitedly asked Mo Lian and the others to open the box.

When they saw the gold, silver, treasures and banknotes inside, their eyes became teary.

The value of the things inside is at least hundreds of thousands of taels. Su Nanyi smiled with her eyes curved. She would never return these to Ling Xiao.

She wants to keep these.

Su Nanyi generously gave half of the silver bills to Mo Lian and the others. She kept the rest of the gold and silver jewelry and jewellery for herself as they were not suitable for them.

"Thank you, Master."

Mo Lian and his friends each received 20,000 taels of silver notes, and they thanked Su Nanyi happily.

This is faster and more money than she made from previous missions.

It turned out that I was right to follow this master. There was meat to eat if I followed her.

"It's okay. It's late. Go down and get some rest. I need to go to bed too. I have to go to the palace tomorrow."

I'm afraid that tomorrow's visit to the palace will be like the Hongmen Banquet. The empress dowager never invited them to the palace in previous years, but she did this year.

There must be something wrong, but I don't know what it is.

But no matter what happens, she has the ability to protect herself.

"Yes, Master, then you should go to sleep too."

Everyone nodded, bowed to her and left.

Su Nanyi also closed the door, blew out the light and went to sleep.
