Chapter 532: Chapter 532: This is Money
Jiang Ning stuffed a mouthful of mooncake into her mouth, but found herself unable to swallow nor spit it out.
She felt like a fishbone was stuck in her throat.
While she hesitated, she started choking, and after she managed to swallow, she began hiccupping.
Jiang Yi watched the whole process in shock, until her loud hiccups scared him into a startled gasp.
âAhahahaha~!â
âJiang Third Son, I hate you!â
Jiang Ning grabbed her tea cup and gulped down water, but still couldnât stop hiccupping.
Jiang Yi, holding back his laughter, patted her back: âDrink slowly, hold your breath, it will pass soon.â
Jiang Ning followed his advice, took a deep breath, finished her drink in one gulp, and indeed stopped hiccupping.
âThird Brother is amazing.â
âJust a bit, just a bit.â Jiang Yi chuckled modestly.
Seeing him laughing wildly, completely devoid of a palace maidâs grace, Jiang Ning couldnât bear it: âBrother, you should go back soon before someone finds out.â
âRight, I should go, all thanks to you being too hilarious, I lost track of time.â
âYouâre blaming me?â
Jiang Yi caressed her: âStay obediently in the East Palace, donât go run amok. As long as you are safe, the family will be at ease. Oh, I have something for you.â
He searched his person, and took out a stack of banknotes: âHere.â
âWhat is this, I donât want it.â
âItâs money, you idiot. You canât even recognise it, youâre utterly spoiled! Come, let me teach you, this note is worth 5000 taels, this one isâŠâ
ââŠBrother, are you serious?â
âWhat is it?â
âDo you really think I donât know what banknotes are?â
âThen why did you askâŠâ
âI mean, I donât want your money.â
âIâm your older brother, itâs only natural I give you some spending money, take it!â Jiang Yi forcefully stuffed the money into her hand, âYou can spend money freely in the palace, donât hold back. If you need to give out tips, donât be stingy, buy anything you like. We may be short on other things at home, but we have plenty of money.â
Jiang Ning asked in a low voice: âDo we have so much money because Father is corrupt?â
âRubbish, donât talk nonsense. Father would never stoop to such lowly actions.â
âBut Fatherâs salary isnât quite high, is it?â
âWe have properties, farmland, and shops, all sources of income.â Jiang Yi laughed, âThese past few years it was Aunt Liu whoâs been managing the shops and sheâs made a lot of money.â
âWouldnât have guessed Aunt Liu is such a successful businesswoman.â freewŃbnoÎœel.com
âFather is busy with his duties at Imperial Court, Mother is⊠even when Mother is well, she has never cared for the mundane and wouldnât get involved in business.â Jiang Yi said, âAs for me, I have my own ways of making money, you donât need to worry. Our family canât possibly run out of money to spend.â
Jiang Ning said: âThen I wonât hold back.â
âBeing polite with your brother.â Jiang Yi indulgently laughed, âI really have to go now, Father and Mother are waiting for my news.â
âThird Brother, remember what I said, be careful back home.â
âDonât worry, I remember.â
Jiang Yi waved his hand and walked towards the door.
Who would have expected to hear Guchengâs voice outside: âYour Highness, the Crown Prince.â
Jiang Ning was startled and instinctively looked at Jiang Yi: âBrother, go hide in my bedroom.â
âIn case he goes to the bedroom, it will be even harder to explain. No worries.â Jiang Yi was quick to react, he picked up the tray of tea from the table, bent down, and pretended to be a palace maid serving tea.
Li Hongyuanâs voice came from outside: âWhere is the Princess Consort?â
âThe Princess Consort isnât feeling well and is resting.â Gucheng said.
âOh? Then Iâll go in and see her.â
âNot possible.â
Gucheng stopped him.
If Jiang Ning asked him to guard the door, then no one would be able to come in.
