Chapter 249

Xuan Yue's eyes lit up: "I haven't received it for more than ten years? Twenty-four a year, isn't it two or three million in ten years?"

Liu Wei nodded and said, "In addition to the income from the estates and manors under the name of the Prince's Mansion, and the taxes and silver paid by the food court, the total annual total will not be less than 108,000 gold coins! After more than ten years, there are also some Over a million!"

Xuanyue said: "Since there is so much money, why don't you use it? Why does Liu Huwei seem to have eaten gunpowder, and he gets angry when he talks about it?"

She knew that there must be an inside story, otherwise Du Guangyi wouldn't kneel, and Liu Wei wouldn't be so angry.

Liu Wei said angrily: "Isn't that the grandson of the turtles from the Ministry of Internal Affairs? After the emperor rewarded the prince with this mansion, the prince never came to live there. The prince lived in the palace when he was young, and went out to learn martial arts when he was four or five years old. Now, no one knows where the prince went and what he did. The only certainty is that after the prince left, he never came back, and there was no news! This mansion was originally taken care of by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. After leaving, Lao Du and I were the people around the prince, and we missed the prince very much. Lao Du took the initiative to ask to be transferred to guard the house, and I followed."

Xuanyue said: "Your loyalty to the prince is very admirable. Although the prince and I didn't know about these things before, but now that we are back, we will not let people bully you again. If you have any grievances and grievances, just say come out!"

Liu Wei said: "It would be best to have the empress do justice for us! Those grandchildren of the House of Internal Affairs, seeing that we have no one in the Prince's Palace, have been deducting the Prince's offerings over the years. Since the Prince left the palace, he has never given the Prince's Palace any money. I heard from a buddy of mine that the monthly salary of the First Prince’s Mansion is paid on time, and last year, the Imperial Prince’s Mansion was repaired, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs allocated 300,000 gold coins! Why should we deduct the money from our Prince’s Mansion? This matter has nothing to do with Lao Du. Over the years, Lao Du has used his own salary to support the expenses of the Prince's Mansion. However, Lao Du's salary is not much, so he couldn't maintain the expenses of the Prince's Mansion, so it didn't take long. , the original servants of the Prince's Mansion have all left. Only the three of us are left behind, so the house is gradually becoming deserted."

"Mr. Du, get up first! When you're old, don't kneel at every turn. You didn't do anything wrong!" Xuanyue helped Du Guangyi up, she admired the old man's integrity.

Du Guangyi stood up gratefully, thinking of the grievances over the years, and couldn't help but burst into tears.

Xuanyue asked, "Liu Wei, where did you say that the property and tax and silver of the Prince's Mansion went?"

Liu Wei said: "Let those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs take it away!"

Xuanyue said angrily, "Is there still Wang Fa? They are going too far!"

Du Guangyi explained: "Before the Prince officially moved into the Prince's Mansion, all the maintenance and repair work of the mansion was carried out by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Although Liu Wei and I have been guarding here for all these years, this mansion is still managed by the Ministry of Internal Affairs. So Their management of the Prince's Mansion's accounts and property is also justified."

Liu Wei said: "Old Du, you are just afraid of things! When have they taken care of the house? Haven't we been taking care of it for so many years? Your granddaughter has been busy with the mansion these years. You go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask for Zhang Huzhi. No success, how much injustice have you suffered?"

Xuanyue asked, "What is household paper?"

Liu Weidao: "There are two types of workers who work in big families or who are slaves. One is long-term workers who are bought and sold through contracts, and they have to serve their masters for life. The other is short-term workers or special craftsmen who are formally hired. The proof is the household paper. Originally, Lao Du and I were both servants in the palace, and we were both people around the prince. After the prince left, we were transferred here, but we are still people in the palace, and our monthly salary is also an internal affair. It was issued by the government. But we are both long-term workers, and we can go to the Ministry of Housing to verify it. And we all came from the palace, so the Ministry of Internal Affairs did not dare to make things difficult for us. But this girl Cuiyun is not from the palace. , and there is no employment relationship approved by the prince himself, so she can't get the salary. Lao Du wanted to find some security for his granddaughter, and repeatedly went to the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs to get a household paper for Cuiyun. She can enjoy her monthly salary. But the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs deliberately made things difficult and refused to accept it. In fact, it is just a household paper for a maid, and it is a big thing, but there is nothing they can do if they want to make things difficult."

Xuanyue asked in shock, "So, Cuiyun has been without a salary all these years?"

Liu Wei said: "Isn't it? Although there are no people living in the Prince's Mansion, but there are so many houses, and they have to be cleaned every month. This girl is busy working alone, and even I can't see it! Anyway, she can be regarded as the Prince's Mansion. man!"

Xuanyue had an idea in her heart and said, "Cuiyun, come here!"

"What's your mother's order?" Cuiyun got closer.

Xuanyue said: "Do you want to stay in the Prince's Mansion?"

Cuiyun said: "My grandfather and I depend on each other, and I will be where my grandfather is."

"The Prince's Mansion has made you suffer so much, don't you hate the Prince's Mansion?" Xuanyue asked. In fact, she likes this Cuiyun very much. She is not yet twenty years old, but she is very sensible.

"Grandpa said that we were born from the Prince's Mansion, and we will be ghosts of the Prince's Mansion when we die! Even if this mansion becomes a ghost house, we will keep it here!"

"Girl, don't talk nonsense." Du Guangyi hurriedly scolded his granddaughter, and the girl said what she usually said.

Xuanyue smiled and said, "She's right! You are doing your best for the Prince's Mansion, and you are doing your best for the Prince! Cuiyun, don't worry, now that the Prince and I are back, no one will dare to bully you in the future!"

Cuiyun said, "Thank you, Empress! She didn't expect that this Crown Princess would be so approachable and would care about the feelings of their servants."

Xuanyue said: "I give you a task."

Cui Yun said: "My lady, please order me!"

Xuanyue said: "This matter is a bit difficult to handle, are you brave?"

Cuiyun said: "As long as it is something that the mother-in-law explained, Cuiyun's death must be handled well. Cuiyun is just afraid that she will be useless and disappoint the mother-in-law."

Xuanyue smiled and said, "Then don't worry! You just need to be bold."

Cuiyun said: "My lady asked Cuiyun to do what? Cuiyun will do it now."

Xuanyue said, "Do you know where the Ministry of Internal Affairs is?"

Cuiyun nodded.

Xuanyue said: "You go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and ask for the money from our Prince's House, do you dare?"

"I..." Cuiyun gritted his teeth and said, "I dare!"

She couldn't see it for a long time. The people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs were so unreasonable, and once again pushed Grandpa to the ground. She hated those people to death, but it was a pity that they dared not speak out. Although she was also afraid of those officials in her heart, but now that she has the support of the empress, she has become more courageous.

Du Guangyi hurriedly said: "Niangniang, let the old slave handle this matter! Cuiyun, this child is stupid and sincere, but he can't deal with those officials and gentlemen!"

Xuan Yue smiled slightly: "I let her go because I knew she couldn't handle it!"
