Rong Yang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Li Jingxing's words just now seemed to be directed at Aunt Qi, so they weren't warning him. After hesitating for a moment, he made a decision and kowtowed: "My little sister is so eager to be favored that she does foolish things. Please, Your Highness." For the sake of my infatuation with His Highness, I will spare my life!"
This matter can only be blamed on the younger sister, otherwise it will be a big trouble for the family.
Now that gold mining has reached a critical moment, if the prince turns his back on others and exposes the gold mine, the gold mountain at his fingertips will most likely become someone else's.
Never let this happen!
Li Jingxing remained silent for a long while, while Rong Yang felt worried and kowtowed again: "I beg Your Highness to give my little sister another chance!"
As long as Li Jingxing agrees to let Rong Yunyun go, it means that he will not anger the Rong family because of this, so he must find a way to gain Li Jingxing's understanding.
No matter what the cost!
Li Jingxing was silent for a long time before he spoke slowly: "The person framed by Rong was the Crown Princess. Mr. Rong is afraid that he has begged the wrong person."
Rongyang was stunned for a moment, then turned around and kowtowed to Chiyang.
"My little sister deserves to die, but the Crown Princess please spare my life for the sake of my confusion. The common people are willing to prepare a generous gift for the Crown Princess to express my apology!"
Chiyang raised his eyebrows slightly, raised his head and looked at Li Jingxing, and their eyes immediately separated.
it is more than words.
"It's not impossible for me to forgive you. It just depends on whether Mr. Rong is sincere enough."
Rongyang was stunned for a moment and then promised: "I will definitely satisfy the Crown Princess!"
Chiyang straightened the broken hair around his ears and said to Li Jingxing: "I'm tired. I'll leave it to Your Highness to handle the rest."
Li Jingxing nodded slightly.
After Chiyang left, Li Jingxing handed Mrs. Ma and Nanny Qi over to Xiao Fuzi, then got up and walked out of the yard.
Rongyang quickly stood up and followed.
Li Jingxing and Rong Yang chatted in the study for less than two-quarters of an hour. When Rong Yang left, his face was as pale as a dead man, and his steps seemed a little vain.
Li Jingxing came to the main courtyard to look for Chiyang. After entering the house, he retreated and walked around in front of Chiyang like a peacock.
Chiyang asked curiously: "Your Highness asked for a good price?"
Li Jingxing pretended to be calm and nodded, and said in a thick nasal voice: "Yes, one million taels."
Chiyang said in surprise: "Not bad!"
[It’s not in vain that I have been acting with you for so long. 】
If it were just to investigate the truth, Li Jingxing could handle it alone, so there was no need to call her over.
The purpose of asking her to accept the "unjust accusation" is to prevent Rong Yang from coming to Taiwan after she proves her innocence, and then take the opportunity to "blackmail" her.
The people she sent did not find the bodies of Mrs. Ma's family at all. The bodies had long been disposed of by Rongyang's people. They dug three feet into the ground before finding a half-burned purse.
When Rong Yang went back and learned about this, he was afraid that he would be angry to death.
The more Li Jingxing thought about it, the happier he became. Since he made up his mind to stay away from corrupt officials, his wallet has become increasingly empty. The Rong Mansion "sent" these two huge sums of money to him, which solved his urgent need at once.
Li Jingxing was happy, and suddenly walked up to Chiyang, held Chiyang's face and gave him a firm smack.
"Yang'er is really my lucky star!"
Chiyang wiped the saliva from his cheeks in disgust.
【nausea! 】
Li Jingxing raised his eyebrows and teased ambiguously: "What's the use of being disgusted with it after you've already eaten it?"
Chiyang was stunned for a moment and looked at Li Jingxing in confusion.
[I didn’t say it just now. 】
"Did your Highness hear anything?"
Li Jingxing pinched her cheek: "What did you hear? She looked disgusted, but she was blind."
Chiyang slapped off the claws and asked, "How are you going to deal with Rong Yunyun, Your Highness?"
Li Jingxing calmed down and said seriously: "Rong Yang proposed to take Rong Yunyun back to Rong's family, but I didn't agree."
It would be bad to take him back. Only when Rong Yunyun keeps causing trouble can he have an excuse to keep extorting money.
Chiyang was confused for a moment and figured out the reason.
"Rong Yunyun is afraid that he won't dare to do anything else."
"It doesn't matter, keeping her is useful anyway."
After he refused just now, Rong Yang didn't mention it again, which meant that Rong Yang had given up on Rong Yunyun from his heart. He didn't believe that Rong Yunyun would have no complaints about his father and brother's abandonment.
If you make good use of it, maybe Rong Yunyun can bite Rong Sheng and Rongyang back, why not.
...
The second room of the Rong family. After returning home, Rong Yang went straight to the study to find his father Rong Sheng.
It happened that my younger brother Rong Zhao was also in the room, and he scolded me: "Second brother, how did you do this? How could you leave the body where it is?"
Rong Zhao was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and said with an innocent face: "Brother, the body has been disposed of long ago!"
Only then did Rong Yang realize that he had been deceived. As long as he hinted to Mrs. Ma that Chiyang had made it up, Mrs. Ma might not defect in the face of battle.
When Rong Sheng saw him looking furious, he knew something was wrong with his plan.
"what happened?"
Rongyang told what happened in the prince's mansion.
Rong Sheng was so angry that his heart ached: "The prince blackmailed another one million taels?!"
Rongyang nodded: "In that situation, if we cannot satisfy the prince, I'm afraid it will be difficult to calm the prince's anger."
If I had known this, I shouldn't have listened to the fourth prince's advice and pretended to join the prince. Now, not only did he fail to use the excuse of mining gold mines to make the prince pay for it, but he gave the prince two million taels. Thinking about it makes me feel sick.
Rong Zhao said: "Dad, why don't we break up with the prince and stop the loss in time?"
Rongsheng was a little moved, and Rongyang said: "If it is discontinued now, wouldn't all the previous investment be in vain?"
As a member of the Rong family, how can we do a loss-making business?
Rong Zhao was a concubine and had the weakest say among the three. He stopped expressing his opinions when Rong Yang disagreed.
Rongsheng gritted his teeth and said, "This is the last time!"
When the family was separated, Dafang divided most of the property, and they only received less than 8 million in cash. Later, they gradually gave the fourth prince about 2 million taels, and the gold mine invested nearly 2 million. Wan Liang went in, and now he gave the prince another two million taels, leaving only two million taels in cash on hand.
The Fourth Prince has to contribute 300,000 taels every month. The income from the gold mine is not obvious yet, plus miscellaneous expenses, now it is difficult to make ends meet. If this continues, I am afraid that the Fourth Prince will go bankrupt before he is crowned the Great Treasure. .
Although Rongyang felt sorry for the money he had invested, he also knew that his family could not withstand that kind of trouble, and he thought that this would be the last time.
Rong Zhao saw his father and brother fell silent at the same time, and said, "Dad, brother, since Yun'er entered the prince's house, our family has been spending money non-stop. Why do I feel that the prince has no good intentions?"
Rongyang actually felt the same way, but the last time about the aphrodisiac was indeed done by the younger sister on her own initiative; and the poisoning this time was also the result of their discussion together.
Both times they took the initiative, it didn't look like they were caught in a trap.
