BXBX NOVEL Chapter 19 - 19: The Concubine Is Going to Commit a Crime
Jiang Ning hurriedly said, “Xiaoqian, slow down, where is your house? I’ll have someone take you home!”
“My house is nearby. I’ll come to see my little aunt next time! Little aunt, remember to make me delicious food!”
Xiaoqian waved and ran away.
Jiang Ning told Dongxie to follow, to make sure the kid wouldn’t be bothered by Jiang family’s servants and old women again.
“It’s getting late, miss. Are you going to Madam’s place?”
“Yes.”
Just looking at Lin Zizi’s face, Jiang Ning could tell she was the original host’s birth mother. Since she came back with Jiang Ruobai, she should cooperate with him and help Lin Zizi recover.
Chunlai said, “But Miss, you are not feeling well. What about calling the doctor?”
Jiang Ning looked up at the sky: “Tomorrow.”
Back at the Black Bamboo Garden, Jiang Ruobai had just returned. Seeing the silver note in her hand, he couldn’t help but be surprised: “Seventh Sister, I just heard from outside that our family’s young lady is a thousand gold per word. Is it true?”
“Gossip spreads fast.” Jiang Ning held up the silver note, “This is a fake, can’t be taken seriously.”
“Fake? What’s going on?”
“My father’s concubine bullies people. My little friend couldn’t stand it and decided to help me out.”
“Are you talking about Aunt Hua? What happened to her?”
“She didn’t give me any money.”
Jiang Ruobai was furious, thinking about the fact that his hard-won little daughter had been bullied by a concubine. Of course, he was angry.
But he appeared calm on the surface, took the silver note, and said with a smile, “Which little friend of yours managed to get a fake silver note? Let me see.”
Jiang Ning handed it to him casually: “It’s Xiaoqian, Old Man Li’s grandson.”
Jiang Ruobai’s hand stiffened as he took the note: “Xiao, Xiaoqian…”
“Yes.”
“…This silver note should be real.”
As if the emperor’s eldest grandson would carry fake silver notes when going out.
Jiang Ning laughed: “Even you were deceived. Aunt Hua and Jiang Fifth Daughter didn’t even realize it was fake.”
Jiang Ruobai coughed lightly: “Seventh Sister, do you know your father’s identity?”
“An official.”
“That’s right. I’m the Minister of Revenue, managing the financial affairs of the whole country, referred to as His Majesty’s Housekeeper,” Jiang Ruobai said, “Do you think I would misjudge the authenticity of a silver note?”
Jiang Ning took the silver note back and looked at it: “This is really real?”
“It couldn’t be more genuine.”
“How is it possible? Old Man Li is so poor. How could his grandson casually take out a thousand tael silver note?” Jiang Ning was stunned, “Does that mean Old Man Li is actually a hidden tycoon?”
Jiang Ruobai didn’t say anything.
“Are they really that rich and still come to my place to mooch off every day?”
“…” Jiang Ruobai forced a smile.
Mooching off food?
Didn’t they give you money for food?
This girl is really…
Blind.
Jiang Ning clenched the silver note: “Poor Xiaoqian came looking for me and didn’t even get a meal. Not only did he lose a silver note, but he also got tied up.”
Jiang Ruobai opened his mouth: “What did you say?”
“Food…”
“The last sentence!”
“Xiaoqian came looking for me, but before he could come in, he was captured by your concubine. If it weren’t for me getting there in time, your lawless concubine would have committed a crime in public!”
Jiang Ruobai’s face turned pale, and his hand trembled a little.
Aunt Hua, that hopeless fool.
Daring to tie up the emperor’s eldest grandson.
This emperor’s eldest grandson was His Majesty’s beloved, always personally taken care of by His Majesty’s side.
Such a precious baby, actually got tied up by his own concubine!
If he went back and casually lodged a complaint, the Jiang Family would be screwed..
