122. Chapter 122 You will not be the emperor, will you?
"Just do it!"
Seeing her dissatisfied look, Chi Yan laughed out loud again.
"Yesterday, I saw someone at home sneaking up on my old man in the middle of the night, so I went to eavesdrop."
So Yun Yue told Chi Yan about the prince's embezzlement of canal repair and disaster relief money, and how Ling Zhongqing caused the salt case in order to collect the money.
"King Xiaoyao is coming to supervise the canal case soon. I'm afraid that if the salt case is investigated, the prince will take the money, turn his back on the people, and silence the Ling family. Then, won't I have to fight with the prince?
Up?
Or maybe the case is discovered and my brother and I are sentenced to death by the emperor before we can even leave the Ling family. How uneconomical that would be!
Therefore, this money cannot fall into the hands of the prince under any circumstances. I have decided that this money will be regarded as alimony given to me and my brother by my father who was sorry for my mother. I will make good use of this money."
Yunyue's words made Chi Yan laugh again.
Reaching out and touching her silky hair, Chi Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, as long as I'm here, you will definitely not be in any danger."
Seeing Yun Yue looking at him suspiciously, Chi Yan raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's wrong?"
Yun Yue pursed her lips, then looked at him with interest. "So confident...you can't be the emperor, right?"
"Hahahaha..." Unable to hold it in any longer, Chi Yan laughed completely.
When Chi Yan quietly sent Yun Yue back to her bedroom, the maid happened to come to wake Yun Yue up.
On weekdays, no one dared to call Yunyue even though she slept until the sun was shining brightly. But today, Ling Zhongqing sent a message and asked everyone to gather in the dining room.
After slowly changing into clean clothes, Yun Yue walked to the dining room with the support of two girls, Su Wen and Xia Yan.
By this time, everyone was seated.
On the dining table, the seats to the left and right of Ling Zhongqing had been consciously vacated by the aunts. Ling Xiye took the seat on the left. Yun Yue greeted Ling Zhongqing and sat on the seat on the right with satisfaction.
As for the meals, chef Yuan Fu, under Yun Yue's naked threat, placed all Yun Yue's favorite dishes at her place to facilitate her meal.
"Yue'er, have you rested for the past few days?"
"Thank you for your concern, Daddy. Yue'er is resting well. I wonder if Daddy's illness is getting better?"
"Well, it's better." Ling Zhongqing tried his best to look pleasant.
After answering Yunyue's words, Ling Zhongqing immediately got to the point.
"My father will deal with the matter of your catastrophe fairly. As long as evidence is found, my father will not let go of the person who hurt you, no matter who he is, so don't worry."
"Thank you dad for making the decision for Yue'er."
"You must have survived the disaster this time because of the blessing of the gods. The weather is quite sunny today. After breakfast later, let your brother take you to Pudu Temple to burn incense and fulfill your wish.
You don’t have to be in a hurry to come back. My father has ordered someone to arrange a room for you in advance. If you encounter a big disaster this time, you should fast and pray for seven days to remove the bad luck from you."
Yun Yue raised her eyebrows, wondering what kind of performance Ling Zhongqing was planning to perform.
"Dad, are my brother and I the only ones going?"
"Originally, you could go by yourself, but your brother is very skilled in martial arts and can protect you, so after discussing with him, he is going to accompany you."
