Chapter 285: Chapter 285: The Master of the Prefecture 17

"If we don't make movements on there, how would we have enough money in order to organize everything all these years? How would I be able to buy pills in order for you and Rou Er to take a tonic and practice austerities?" Concubine Qin thought about it. "If they want to check then let them do so. All these years, mother had secretly stashed some. Even if she checks the account books and find out something is wrong, she won't be able to check out where the money went!"

Concubine Qin had planned in advance. She was not stupid. In the past, she had secretly stashed money in order for Xiao Yuan Cheng to not find out. Now, it could be used in regards to Huang Bei Yue and let her have no way out!

****Royal Court Bei Yue****

Xiao Rou secretly came to the outside of Liu Yun Ge. She stared at it for a while, scared to go inside.

"Fourth young miss, when did you have time to come here ah?" Dong Ling walked out from the yard, smiling while looking at her.

When Xiao Rou came, Huang Bei Yue had felt this so she made Dong Ling come out to have a look. This Xiao Rou was a great weapon!

"Sister Dong Ling, I, I just wanted to come to have a look at the third sister. I was thinking that she probably was angry at father before…" Xiao Rou hurriedly explained.

Dong Ling shook her head helplessly: "Fourth young miss, it's you who has a kind heart and still thinks of my family's young miss. Aye, our young miss's life is bitter. In the past, the Lord doesn't like her and now, he even hurt young miss's heart completely…"

Xiao Rou hurriedly exclaimed: "This matter, I also think that father is at fault. There was nothing wrong with using the money of the prefecture but secretly letting housekeeper Zhou make movements regarding this, that is wrong!"

"It's the fourth young miss who understands her reasoning." Dong Ling smiled. "It's cold outside. Fourth young miss, please go inside and have a seat. Our young miss just woke up."

When she heard that was able to go inside the room, Xiao Rou was very happy. In her heart right now, she was a little restless. She wanted a couple of Huang Bei Yue's words in order to calm down.

Dong Ling personally opened the curtains to let her in and the moment Xiao Rou got in, she raised her head to see Huang Bei Yue leaning against a cushion and reading a book on the bed.

"Third sister." Xiao Rou grinned, declaring in a small voice.

Huang Bei Yue raised her head and smiled when she saw her: "Fourth sister, you're here. Quickly sit down. It's cold outside. Dong Ling, pour some warm tea."

Dong Ling walked out, grinning. After Xiao Rou sat down, she looked at her nervously before opening her mouth slowly: "Third sister, about today's matter…"

"Today, by the lotus pond, I heard that Concubine Qin was insulting the royal family and if the words were spread out, it'll cause a huge commotion. Therefore, I punished her. Is the fourth sister blaming me?"

"Of course not!" Xiao Rou hurriedly shook her head. "Whatever the third sister does, it's all out of reason and evidence. My mother indeed does like to cause trouble with her mouth! Third sister doesn't need to blame herself!"

Which real daughter would say that their mother liked to cause troubles with her mouth? From this, she could see that this Xiao Rou, normally, is already dissatisfied with Concubine Qin.

"Actually, there is nothing wrong with what she was saying. It's just that today, I had interrogated housekeeper Zhou and what the housekeeper Zhou had said, I couldn't believe ah!" Huang Bei Yue placed the book down, a look of worry on her face.

Xiao Rou's heart pumped quickly, hurriedly answering: "Third sister, this matter, my mother indeed is at fault. But she's old and can't endure the torture within the prison. Third sister, please don't make this matter bigger than it is and send her to Ting Wei Si."

Huang Bei Yue slightly curled up her lips, smiling: "We are all a family. How could I have the heart to make it a big deal towards Ting Wei Si? What happened in our prefecture, it's better to resolve this within the prefecture."

Xiao Rou let out a huge sigh. If they went to Ting Wei Si, her mother would go to hell for greed and she would be done forth too…

"Third sister's heart is kind. It's just that this matter, how does the third sister plan to take care of it?" Xiao Rou carefully inquired.


Chapter 286: Chapter 286: The Master of the Prefecture 18

Huang Bei Yue faintly smiled: "How else would I handle this? Isn't it just going to be the same as for housekeeper Zhou? As long as you guys compensate for the money lost, I naturally won't argue anymore."

"Compensate for the money lost…" Xiao Rou's face was slightly ugly.

Right then, Dong Ling came in with warm tea and heard their conversation. She said: "These couple of years, Concubine Qin had been cultivating the elder young master and the fourth young miss and used quite a bit of money. Plus, add onto the Lord's expenses, how would they be able to make up for the money lost?"

Huang Bei Yue nodded her head: "That's right also. Big brother and fourth sister are all part of the family. It's a must that money is spent on them. It's just that I heard from housekeeper Zhou that Concubine Qin probably had secretly stashed some."

Xiao Rou bit her lips. When she heard that she said it's a must that money was spent on them, she was secretly happy about it. This meant that Huang Bei Yue still looked at her as the young miss within the prefecture.

"My mother did secretly store some money. However, she is quite stubborn and probably won't be willing to give it up."

Dong Ling lowered her voice: "Fourth young miss, my family's young miss's personality, you probably clearly know of it. The loss within the prefecture of Princess Zhang can't just be lost. Before what the concubines had used, it's fine. It's just that the secretly stored, no matter what she can't allow it. This matter, it's fine to resolve this in the prefecture. If it caused a huge commotion, you thought about how the consequences would be like? You and the elder young master are still young ah. The future is still bright."

"Third sister, if my mother is willing to give up the secretly stashes, you really won't pester endlessly about it?"

Huang Bei Yue faintly raised her eyes: "Fourth sister doesn't believe me?"

"No! I naturally believe you! It's just that I-"

A ray of light flashed by in Huang Bei Yue's eyes: "Fourth sister, you probably know where the Concubine Qin had hidden her things right? If you say it out loud, Concubine Qin probably won't let you go or maybe she might break off her relationship with you. This is all unknown."

Xiao Rou's eyes immediately turned red. The tears dripped down her face: "It is impossible to satisfy both righteousness and benevolence. Third sister, teach me how to do this."

Huang Bei Yue laughed coldly in her heart. This matter, she didn't need to teach her. As long as she slightly gave Xiao Rou a backup and some benefits, Xiao Rou will definitely do sell her mother off – this type of matter.

"Fourth sister, a couple days from now, Empress Dowager and Princess Xi He are going back to the imperial capital. When the time comes, I will deliver a notice to the palace, begging to see the Empress Dowager and Princess Xi He. I will bring you along to the palace."

Xiao Rou wiped her tears off. She stared at Huang Bei Yue, stunned. What are they going to the palace together for?

Dong Ling hurriedly added on: "Fourth young miss, how did you forget? In the past when Princess Xi He and the Empress Dowager left the palace together in order to pray for blessings for Nan Yi Country, she had made a remark saying that she will not marry the whole life. She will serve upon the spirits in order to exchange for peace within Nan Yi Country. Since then, Princess Xi He had the intentions of choosing a talented woman who knew everything from each prefecture, accepting them as her adopted daughters. The first daughter's status is precious so Princess Xi He just wants to choose from daughters of concubines."

Xiao Rou heard this and was frozen for half a moment before she suddenly stood up. She kneeled in front of Huang Bei Yue: "Third sister, you are giving me this chance. This benevolence, how can I repay you back?"

"I am just giving you this type of chance. Whether it works or not, is up to you. You are a smart one so you naturally should understand that by being the fostered daughter of Princess Xi He, Concubine Qin's reputation from before can't affect you anymore."

Xiao Rou tightly held her hands. Because of excitement, her face was slightly red. She stated determinedly: "I understand. My mother had made a mistake so she originally should repaying back. Even though I am her daughter, I can't watch her make mistake after mistake!"

"This maid had said this before that fourth young miss is the person who knows logic and reasoning best!" Dong Ling helped her up.
