After I stopped being a lady from a rich family, I fought all over the capital

Chapter 360 Simply burn down three houses for me!

Song Lan remained indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about what the young emperor said.

Instead, he said, "I have my eye on the houses in Shou Kang Fang. Your Majesty is merciful. Why not grant me those three empty houses that are in a row there?"

"Consider it a wedding gift for my husband and me!"

Little Emperor: ……

No way! They're really asking for an exorbitant amount!

Even the eldest princess was somewhat taken aback.

But when they saw the young emperor struggling to speak, they found it amusing.

what is this?
Evil people will be punished by evil spirits.
The eldest princess raised an eyebrow and gave the young emperor a look, as if to say: Serves you right for talking nonsense!
Little Emperor: ……

No way!! How dare Song Lan be so audacious? Isn't he afraid of having his head chopped off?!
Unexpectedly, as if she could see what the little emperor was thinking, Song Lan opened her mouth and silently said: Your grandfather and your father owe my mother money!
Little Emperor: ……

He instantly felt an intense bitterness in his throat.

They've been taken advantage of!
Forget about his grandfather and his father, he owes them too!
The national treasury has been in deficit year after year.

Later, when all else failed, I had no choice but to borrow from others...

It's not like we haven't considered dealing with some cunning and ruthless big-time black market merchants.

But Song Lan's mother, Xie Yuanyi, is completely outside this category!
especially!!
Xie Yuanyi's brain! I don't know how he developed it, he's extremely good at business.

Any money invested through her would eventually double in value.

Never made a mistake.

A few years before the Song family couple's incident, the young emperor was still an unknown grandson of the emperor.

Sitting on the throne was his imperial grandfather.

At that time, he had heard about Xie Yuanyi's deeds.

Xie Yuanyi's greatest achievement was not doing business in the capital and Jiangzhou, but rather selling Jiangzhou's goods to other overseas countries via sea!

Then they brought back many gems and spices from overseas to sell in the capital.

Make a lot of money.

At that time, many overseas Chinese who came for peace talks or study tours knew the name Xie Yuanyi. Some of these overseas Chinese even reached the point where they didn't know who the emperor was, but they knew Xie Yuanyi.

Thinking about all this, the young emperor couldn't help but feel somewhat discouraged when he looked at Song Lan again.

His family did indeed owe Xie Yuanyi a lot of money.

Putting aside everything else, the IOUs written on the imperial edict and stamped with the imperial seal alone amounted to two million taels.

It was Xie Yuanyi who made it as Song Lan's dowry.

Not to mention those cases where no clear accounts were kept.

The young emperor glanced at Song Lan, somewhat uncertain about how much she actually knew...

Did they fully know that Xie Yuanyi, who was once a brilliant and renowned figure in the capital, was actually the royal family's moneybag?

What was the real cause of Xie Yuanyi's death?

Does Song Lan know about this too?

The more uncertain the young emperor became, the less confident he felt.

"Over at Shou Kang Fang..."

He suddenly realized something: "If I remember correctly, the reason that house over there has been vacant for so long is because it is connected to a haunted house in the neighboring neighborhood. Everyone is wary of it, so no one wants to buy it, right?"

"The Emperor even knows such trivial gossip from the streets."

Song Lan gave a forced, insincere compliment: "Truly, you love the people like your own children!"

Little Emperor: ……

It sounds like a nice thing to say, but it just doesn't feel right.

It feels like I'm insulting him!

"That place was originally reserved as a reward for people!"

The young emperor chuckled twice: "However, being connected to a haunted house is really unlucky. Why don't you, Miss Song, look at other houses elsewhere?"

"Ten miles outside the city..."
