Chapter 109

"But this is an ill-gotten gain!" Chen Ning confidently said, "Who knows what kind of person that lots of money is and where his gold came from? What if he is a great thief and this money was obtained from killing people? Can you spend it in peace? "

Xiao Ru shivered and quickly shook her head.

"Give me the bag of money." Chen Ning reached out her hand.

Xiao Ru immediately placed the bag of money in her hands.

The bag of money was very heavy and it was filled with ingots of gold ingots. It was not cheap and Chen Ning believed that this money was enough for a normal person to live their entire life.

This lots of money, he was truly generous.

But she did not plan on touching this money and did not want to spend a single coin.

She placed several gold ingots on the table and under the candlelight, they shined with a golden light. It was very attractive and Xiao Ru was dazzled just looking at it.

Chen Ning looked over the empty bag of money, trying to find some clues from it.

She found that people in this era were used to leaving marks on their personal items. For example, Zhao Er Gou's clothes had a Zhao word embroidered on it.

But even after she turned the bag of money inside out, she could not find a single mark.

She quickly lost interest in the bag of money and lazily threw it over to Xiao Ru, "Pack it all up."

For several days, Chu Shao Yang did not take a single step into the Intoxicated Flower Pavilion. Chen Bi Yun could not help panicking.

Thinking of Chu Shao Yang's back that day when he left without looking back, her heart filled with guilt.

In this palace, the only thing she could rely on was his highness' favour. If she lost his highness' favour, what qualifications did she have to fight for the position of the legal princess?

"Lan Xiang, where has his highness been staying these past few days?"

What Chen Bi Yun was worried about the most was that while she was pregnant, another woman would take advantage of her.

There were countless beautiful maids in the king's palace and Chu Shao Yang was young and full of blood, how could he endure an empty room every night?

"Reporting to the concubine consort, his highness has been staying in a small courtyard in the Peach Blossom Cove." Lan Xiang carefully replied.

Last time, because she had accidentally farted, his highness had left in a huff. The concubine consort had insisted that it was her fart that made his highness leave, so she had ruthlessly taught her a lesson.

She felt wronged in her heart. It was clearly his highness that disliked the smell of your fart, so he turned against you. But you had to blame it on this servant.

But as a servant, she did not dare argue and could only obediently allow Chen Bi Yun to scold her.

Adding in the fact that Chu Shao Yang had not shown himself in the past few days, Chen Bi Yun's temper was not good. She had smashed several antique vases and porcelain tea sets and she would occasionally use her as a punching bag. So, she was very careful when answering Chen Bi Yun, afraid that if she was careless, she would be scolded and beaten.

"Peach Blossom Little House?" Chen Bi Yun knit her brows and asked, "What kind of place is that? Chen Bi Yun asked.

"Reporting to the concubine consort, this servant has just heard about it from someone else. I've heard that the Peach Blossom Cove is his highness' favourite place. There are many peach trees planted there, especially when the peach blossoms bloom in March, it is simply beautiful. But his highness has never allowed anyone to take half a step into the Peach Blossom Cove. Each peach tree there is personally taken care of by his highness. This servant has also heard that there was a little girl who had just entered the palace last year who did not know that it was a forbidden area. She accidentally walked into the Peach Blossom Cove and saw that the peach blossoms were very beautiful, so she picked one. In the end, his highness gave the order to cut off her hands and legs and kicked her out of the palace. "
