Chapter 515: Worrying about how to spend money
"You are my concubine. As long as you don't foolishly fall into Ji Chuhe's hands, what can she do to you?" Xiao Jincheng still looked as if it had nothing to do with him.
Ming'er's heart couldn't help but sink. She knew very well how cold-blooded and heartless this man was.
In fact, he didn't care about her life or death at all.
In this world, apart from Xiao Jincheng, Ming'er has no one else to rely on, and can only hold on to Xiao Jincheng tightly.
After Ji Chuhe's scolding, Ming'er was indeed much more obedient.
In the afternoon, she found out that their range of activities was limited to the front yard. Whenever they wanted to enter the backyard, they were stopped and had to go back to their room obediently.
……
Chao Sihai walked quickly to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Xiao Jincheng has moved into the prince's mansion."
"I hope he can seize the opportunity I give him and not let me down."
"Your Majesty, I have also investigated the matter you asked me to investigate." Chao Sihai took out a piece of paper from his body.
The emperor took it and looked at it, his eyes dimmed, "In such a short time, she has made so much money. If we let her continue to develop like this, she will be rich enough to rival an entire country."
"Your Majesty, the Crown Prince's wife's business is almost a monopoly, and no one can compete with her. Not only is her shop crowded with customers every day, but on the streets of the Imperial City, you can see their carriages delivering goods to various prefectures everywhere."
"She has really mastered the art of business."
"Your Majesty, most of this money is in the name of the Crown Prince's wife alone. This means that the Crown Prince's wife has clearly divided the money with the Crown Prince from the very beginning." Chao Sihai whispered again.
"Xiao Yan'an has never stayed in her room, right?" the emperor asked again.
"Your Majesty, this is indeed the news we received earlier."
The emperor folded the paper in his hand.
Xiao Yan'an is indeed not worthy of her.
How could a woman like her fall for a loser like Xiao Yan'an?
There is still one thing that the emperor cannot figure out in his mind.
Ji Qingyuan was reborn, Shen Chengjing was reborn.
Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an, who were bound to Ji Qingyuan and Shen Chengjing, did not reborn.
If there is a chosen one among these four people, that person should be Ji Chuhe.
Could it be that Ji Chuhe was also reborn, but she hid it very well.
As soon as this thought flashed through his mind, the emperor felt that this was most likely the case!
With Ji Chuhe's intelligence, she would definitely not expose such bizarre things like Shen Chengjing and Ji Qingyuan did! She would only plan silently to achieve her own desired goals!
"So, she made so much money and drew a clear line between herself and Xiao Yan'an. She calculated it so clearly. In fact, she was leaving a way out for herself."
Chao Sihai was completely confused.
He didn't understand why the emperor suddenly said this, and he didn't dare to respond casually.
……
If the emperor wants to kill Xiao Yan'an, he cannot do it openly, but has to do it secretly.
It would be even more difficult for Xiao Jincheng to kill Xiao Yan'an and replace him.
However, the emperor will secretly help him, which is his biggest bargaining chip.
Xiao Jincheng pestered Xiao Yan'an for several days, and Xiao Yan'an finally agreed to take Xiao Jincheng to the shop and assign him a job.
As long as he could enter the shop, Xiao Jincheng didn't care what kind of work it was.
"Brother, don't worry, I will do my best and will never let you down."
"If you don't understand anything, just ask the shopkeeper."
"Yes." Xiao Jincheng responded immediately.
Xiao Yan'an gave some instructions and left the shop to do other things.
Ji Chuhe stayed at home every day these days and did not go out.
Ming'er expressed several times that he wanted to come and greet her in the morning, but she refused.
In the evening, Xiao Yan'an came back and went straight to Ji Chuhe's yard.
"Prince, has Xiao Jincheng made all the arrangements?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"It's arranged. Today is his first day working in the shop. Everything is going normal."
"Of course, nothing will be revealed on the first day."
"What about the mansion? Is Ming'er still behaving well?"
"Her indenture is already in my hands, which is equivalent to holding her lifeline in my hands. If she dares to be dishonest, I can deal with her. Prince, do you remember what I told you two days ago, that as long as you can spend money, you can transfer our money out of the imperial capital?"
Xiao Yanan was waiting for this.
These days he often wondered what to do, but he really had no idea.
"Ma'am, please tell me your plan."
"Your Highness, spend your money lavishly these few days and wait for your mother's caravan to arrive in the imperial capital."
"Ma'am, you just told me to spend money like water, but I'm really not good at it!"
Ji Chuhe looked at Xiao Yan'an, frowning and thinking, "This is indeed a bit difficult for you. After all, when you were in Huaiyang before, you only had ten taels of silver a month."
"Madam, let's not talk about this." Xiao Yan'an didn't want to look back at the past.
"Your Highness, think about this, this is the project that can spend the most money in the imperial capital."
"I heard before that someone booked the pleasure boat and spent more than three thousand taels for one night." After Xiao Yan'an finished speaking, he quietly looked at Ji Chuhe's face.
"You are talking about the pleasure boat with the courtesan, right?"
There is a rule in the fireworks area of the imperial capital.
An Oiran is chosen every month.
This courtesan was the object of much competition among the young men of wealthy families. To book a pleasure boat was equivalent to to book the courtesan of the month, so it would cost more than three thousand taels a night.
If Ji Chuhe hadn't told Xiao Yan'an to spend money like water, he would never have thought of this.
"Prince, once the oiran of this month is chosen, you will be the one for three nights."
"What!?" Xiao Yan'an stood up suddenly, "Madam, are you serious?"
"Of course I'm serious." Ji Chuhe didn't look like he was joking at all.
"Madam, if my father and mother knew about this, they would break my legs."
"It's okay, I will explain and protect you when the time comes." Ji Chuhe comforted softly.
"No, that won't work either. How can my wife let me keep a prostitute?" Xiao Yan'an still couldn't get over the hurdle in his heart. Even the way he looked at Ji Chuhe was filled with resentment.
He knew that his wife didn't care about him, but he couldn't be so worthless in her heart!
"Prince, apart from this, can you think of any other way to spend money like water?" Ji Chuhe asked softly.
"Give it a try. You might lose more than a thousand taels in a day."
“What if we get lucky and win again?” Ji Chuhe asked back.
Xiao Yanan: ...
He really couldn't have imagined that one day he would worry about spending money!
"Anyway, there are only a few ways to squander money, you can try all of them, my prince." Ji Chuhe turned around and picked up a small box beside him, "There are 20,000 taels of silver in it, my prince, find a way to spend it all."
Twenty thousand taels!!!
Xiao Yanan was overwhelmed.
You can’t spend it all, you can’t spend it all!
