Chapter 283 Another day of mind being warped by money.
Jun Ce smiled and shook his head.
As they were talking, the Third Prince, Jun Huai Ren, walked in.
"Greetings, Uncle Wang."
"Get up," Jun Ce said, his smile fading and his tone indifferent.
The palace servants standing nearby clicked their tongues in disbelief.
Tsk tsk, this regent really has two faces, one for his wife and one for his wife.
Zhai Rongyu sat in the chair and teased him with a smile, "San San, no, now I should call you Prince Fengze."
Jun Huai Ren also looked at her with a smile.
"Ahem." Jun Ce coughed lightly, and when he saw the two looking at each other, his expression was somewhat displeased.
"What's wrong with Ah Xu?" Zhai Rongyu turned to look at him. "Could he have caught a cold?"
Jun Ce glanced at her with a sour look in his eyes.
"Don't worry, even if I'm so sick I can't get out of bed, I'll still marry you while I'm in a wheelchair."
Zhai Rongyu's lips twitched.
How could someone with a mouth that's 36 degrees Celsius tell such a lame joke?
You have a really good sense of humor.
Jun Huai Ren lowered his head, suppressing a laugh, his shoulders shrugging.
Is Uncle Wang jealous?
He paused, looking at Zhai Rongyu with amusement, "Second Miss Zhai, no, I'll have to change my address soon and call you Auntie. I'm here to give you a wedding gift."
Upon hearing this, Jun Ce raised an eyebrow, his expression softening slightly.
Zhai Rongyu, hands clasped in her pockets, looked at Jun Huai Ren and asked, "What good things did San San bring me?"
“These are some land properties.” Jun Huai Ren took out the land deeds from his pocket and handed them to Zhai Rong Yu. “I have grown Rouge Rice in these places, and the yield is quite abundant now. I will give these estates to my little aunt.”
If it weren't for Minister Zhai, I wouldn't be the Prince of Fengze today.
He was deeply grateful for the kindness shown to the Zhai family.
I will treat Miss Zhai well.
He blinked, emphasizing the word "aunt," and sure enough, Jun Ce's eyebrows relaxed, and he even smiled a little.
Zhai Rongyu took the thick stack of land deeds and clicked her tongue slightly, "So many, isn't that a great gift?"
You rich people are really down-to-earth.
She carefully put away the land deed and looked at Jun Huai Ren with a meaningful expression.
"San San, promise me."
"It's fine to date secretly, but please don't try to make money secretly, okay?"
[You've all gotten rich, leaving me, a poor wretch, is really making me panic.]
Jun Huai Ren laughed heartily, revealing his little tiger teeth, "When your little aunt gets the key to the Regent's Palace in the future, these small properties won't even be worth your attention."
Zhai Rong's almond-shaped eyes widened as she turned to look at Jun Ce, "Is A-Xu really that rich?"
[So many properties, and you can't find anything you like?]
"That must be incredibly wealthy..."
As she pondered, her almond-shaped eyes shone brightly.
The time I was most possessive was when I felt like all your money was mine.
[Sigh! Another day where money has warped my mind.]
Jun Ce looked at her with a helpless expression, but his eyes were full of doting smile.
Silly Rong'er.
His things naturally belong to her.
Even if he doesn't have it, he will find it for her if she wants it.
Jun Ce didn't reply, so Jun Huai Ren smiled and answered for him: "I'm afraid you'll have a huge headache managing the accounts in the future."
Zhai Rong rested her hands on the table, her chin in her hands, looking troubled.
"Oh dear, this is really putting me in a difficult position."
I'm good at spending money, but managing it is a real pain in the neck.
I'm the type of person who can't stand keeping track of even the smallest things.
What's that saying again?
In this world, friends may leave you, brothers may betray you, but math will never leave you, because if you can't do math, you simply can't.
Jun Ce pinched her cheek.
"You."
"If you're really troubled, just let the housekeeper handle it."
"You have both keys; you just need to spend them."
Zhai Rongyu then chuckled.
"I knew it, Ah Xu treats me better."
Jun Ce tidied the stray hairs at her temples, and seeing her innocent face, he couldn't help but tease her, "Rong'er, don't be too happy yet."
"I'm just worried that if you're in charge of the accounts, you'll eventually donate all the money because of a headache."
He knew that this little money-grubber outwardly loved money, but secretly he would take the money and then scatter it among the common people.
She donated all the gifts Zhai Sangjie gave her, as well as the Ye family's treasures, that she could donate.
He didn't even blink.
Zhai Rongyu said with embarrassment, "I'm just trying to accumulate merit."
Besides, so much money just sits there collecting dust.
As the saying goes, "Spend money recklessly, and the Buddha will be there to help you recover; save money recklessly, and a huge pit awaits you ahead."
[With my solitary and lonely nature, if I hadn't met Ah Xu, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to hold onto any amount of wealth.]
Jun Ce patted her head. "You can do whatever you want with your money."
"I only hope that the princess will leave me some food to eat."
"If all else fails, rice water will do."
Zhai Rongyu pretended to hit him, "Well, I'm not even married yet, and you're already trying to label me as a mistreating husband!"
"You scheming man!"
Jun Huai Ren chuckled, but when he caught Jun Ce's gaze, he immediately pursed his lips and struggled to suppress his laughter.
Jun Ce then asked about the important matter.
"How is the matter at the front going?"
Jun Huai Ren rarely saw Jun Ce show such a gentle side, and was just smiling like an aunt when he heard the question. He immediately became serious and respectfully said, "Replying to your question, Uncle, Ye Kun did provide many names in order to atone for his crimes."
He paused.
“These people are colluding with Fifth Brother, either openly or secretly.”
Jun Ce lowered his eyes in deep thought.
Ye Kun was the Empress Dowager's man. Over the years, he had been accumulating wealth for her and had inevitably become involved with important officials in the court. However, he never expected that most of them were the Fifth Prince's men.
It was a pleasant surprise.
His crime of treason and collusion with the enemy is now becoming increasingly clear.
"Uncle Wang, these things..."
"When your father arrives, tell him the truth."
"Yes!" Jun Huai Ren suppressed his excitement.
The evidence of the fifth brother's rebellion was already very complete. Uncle Wang could have exposed it directly, but instead, he handed Ye Kun and the evidence to himself, letting him dig out the rotten flesh of the court.
He took all the credit for himself.
It seems that Uncle Wang, like Minister Zhai, has chosen to stand on my side.
"Uncle, rest assured! Huai Ren will certainly not let you down!"
Zhai Rongyu stood up and patted Jun Huai Ren on the shoulder.
"San San, do your best, I believe in you!"
Both the Fifth Prince and the Sixth Prince are cunning and treacherous individuals.
Now that the Longyan realm is at peace, what is needed is a benevolent ruler like San San, with a pure heart who keeps the people at heart.
Only by benefiting all people in this way can the royal dynasty endure.
Jun Ce looked at Zhai Rongyu with undisguised admiration.
What Rong'er said was exactly what he was thinking.
If one did not have the world in mind, how could one have such insights?
Jun Ce's gaze softened even more.
He took Zhai Rongyu's hand, his voice low and deep, "Rong'er, let's not worry about these things, I'll take you to do something important."
"Business? What business?"
Zhai Rong was dragged away by Jun Ce, and she turned around and waved goodbye to Jun Huai Ren.
Jun Ce squeezed her hand, drawing Zhai Rongyu's attention back.
"The wedding dress is ready. Let me take you to see if you like it."
