Mo Jingchen knelt in front of Concubine Chun's memorial tablet, thinking a lot. In the end, he decided to keep silent:

[It’s better not to say it. Time has passed and I can’t find the evidence. It will only cause more trouble to Xiaosha.]

Xiao Ye looked ahead, not looking at Mo Jingchen, but his eyes were full of worry for him:

Jingchen, don't think about these troubles.

The person who took my mother's life must be the concubine who gave birth to the prince.

In your previous life, you have already avenged your mother without any discrimination.

All the princes were sent away by you. Their mothers were also convicted.

It is my responsibility to avenge my mother in this life.

Don't stain your hands with blood ...

The two of them kowtowed three times towards Concubine Chun's tablet, and they both felt the same way about missing Concubine Chun.

Mo Jingchen expressed his deep feelings:

[Empress Chun, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of the King of Zhenbei]

[You protect me for a while, I will protect him for a lifetime]

When Xiao Ye heard this, he suddenly felt unhappy:

Mo Jingchen, could it be that you are nice to me just for the sake of my mother and concubine?

It's really ... so unreasonable ...

When Xiao Ye came out of the imperial concubine's mausoleum, his expression turned ugly.

Mo Jingchen thought he was paying homage to his dead mother and was in a bad mood, which is human nature.

[I don’t know what my biological mother is like, I’ve never felt maternal love, and I don’t feel uncomfortable if I lose her. 】

[But Xiaosi is different, he is someone who has truly experienced maternal love and lost it]

[He must be feeling particularly uncomfortable right now, I have to find a way to coax him]

Xiao Ye was very depressed:

snort!

You are pretty good at finding reasons!

I'm really angry!

Mo Jingchen suggested, "Shall we go shopping?"

Xiao Ye responded with a gloomy face,

"Um"

Extremely hypocritical in my heart:

Since you are willing to coax me, I will reluctantly give you a chance.

At the street market.

Mo Jingchen stopped in front of a Hu merchant's silverware stall, and a delicate silver bell caught his attention.

Mo Jingchen picked it up and shook it. The silver bell made a crisp and sweet sound, and he thought to himself,

【ah? This little bell is not only beautiful, but also has a nice sound~]

Xiao Ye suddenly felt unhappy:

You Mo Jingchen, you want to coax me with just a little bell? What if I was a three-year-old? Do you want to buy me another rattle?

At that time, Mo Jingchen's inner voice faintly entered Xiao Ye's ears:

[This little bell is very suitable for hanging around the neck of the little wolf. When it runs, it jingles, and even from a long distance, I can tell that it is coming~]

When Xiao Ye heard this, he felt even more unhappy:

Didn't you say you wanted to coax me?

Why, don’t I even deserve a little bell?

You came shopping under the guise of coaxing me, but you bought something for Xiaolang!

Mo Jingchen, you pissed me off!

I can’t coax him!

Xiao Ye picked up the silver bell, turned around and left, leaving behind a sentence:

"You pay!"

Mo Jingchen was dumbfounded:

[I don’t have the habit of taking money with me when I go out ... ]

Xiao Ye felt proud:

snort! Don’t have any money in your pocket? How embarrassing!

Now you know what happens if you make me angry!

Call me quickly, otherwise, I will go far away ...

Mo Jingchen felt resentful in his heart:

[This little girl knows that I don’t bring money with me when I go out, and you sincerely want to prevent me from getting off stage, right ... ]

[Xiao is three years old and very childish]

While Mo Jingchen was hesitating, a person flew down from the rooftop opposite.

Dressed in red and as light as a swallow, it is Yun Lan Yue.

She watched Xiao Ye throw the sect leader alone on the street and leave with his sleeves waving, and she felt extremely angry.

At the same time, I was also glad that I couldn't trust that silly guy and had been following him secretly to protect the sect leader.

Yun Lanyue paid the money, and Xiao Ye turned around and came back.

As soon as Xiao Ye saw Yun Lanyue, his whole body unconsciously exuded murderous aura, and his pair of peach blossom eyes were instantly quenched ...

Yun Lanyue thought about how she still owed King Zhenbei a pair of legs, but she only dared to give him a stupid look in return, and did not dare to ask questions.

She handed the purse in her hand to Mo Jingchen, jumped up to the roof, jumped twice, and then disappeared.

Xiao Ye looked at the bulging wallet in Mo Jingchen's hand and was so angry that he exploded!

His eyes overflowed with a splash of possessiveness:

I just turned around and you were collecting other people's money!

How unreasonable!

Mo Jingchen didn't have the ability to read minds, so he naturally didn't know what Xiao Ye was thinking. I just complained about Yun Lanyue in my heart:

[What did you do to provoke Xiaojiao Bao ... ]

[If you don’t calm down, I will send you back to Jiangnan]

Xiao Ye's heart trembled:

Xiaojiaobao? ? ?

Is that me?

Xiao Ye finally felt a little comforted when he saw that Mo Jingchen's heart was always towards him.

He calmed down a little bit of his anger, generously took out ten taels of silver notes and handed them to the shopkeeper.

"You give him the money back, and I'll pay for the bell!"

Hu Shang spoke with a bad Beijing accent, "Hey, no, this bell costs twenty taels of silver~"

Xiao Ye said in disbelief,

"Twenty taels of silver? Are you kidding me?"

Hu Shang shrank his neck and curled his lips.

"Hey~ You're just kidding, you're kidding~"

Xiao Ye burst into anger,

"You profiteer! This broken bell only costs one tael of silver!

If you add some crafting fees, it will cost you two taels of silver at most!

If you make another three taels or five taels of silver, it will be as high as the sky!

How dare you ask for twenty taels of silver! "

Mo Jingchen was quite surprised:

[When did Xiaosi become familiar with prices? 】

Hu Shang shook his head with a sad look on his face.

"Hey, five taels of silver? Five taels is not enough to pay taxes.

The taxes in the capital have been raised twice a day, twenty taels of silver, I just saved my capital, it’s not enough to make a profit~"

Xiao Ye looked suspicious.

“Twice a tax increase in one day?

You talk to me nicely and tell the truth.

If there is any falsehood, I will destroy your business! I'll take you to see the official! "

Hu Shang frowned.

"Hey~

If you have the ability, take me to see the official as soon as possible~

We, the Huren Chamber of Commerce, have met with the official many times, but we have never seen him.

If taxes continue to rise like this, this business will no longer be viable~"

Xiao Ye took a quick look and found that it was now the time to do New Year shopping. There were indeed many fewer people on the street than before ...

Hey! In broad daylight, with the world clear, who is so bold and dares to make a clever name and commit a crime against the wind?

Father must know about this matter!

The next morning, Xiao Ye reported the matter to the court.

The emperor was very angry:

"Investigate this matter strictly!"

The fourth prince was trembling secretly:

Is it possible that my people are responsible for collecting taxes from Hu merchants under a clever pretext?

This year, my father is going to crack down on corruption. The Minister of Household Affairs wanted to give me a gift during the Chinese New Year, but he couldn't give it, so he decided to blame Mr. Hu ...

Why did Xiao Ye, a bastard, get hit with this, his nemesis ...

As soon as the court came, Xiao Ye went straight to Mo Mansion happily.

He even hung the silver bell on his belt.

Mo Jingchen is in the study, writing hard at his desk.

Xiao Ye pulled a stool and sat next to him, looking at Junxiu's powerful handwriting:

"Jingchen, are you writing a medical book?"
