The number one rebel of the Great Wu

On the other end.

Chen Changgeng boarded the carriage, which contained two large boxes.

Chen Changgeng opened the box with satisfaction and found it stuffed full of gleaming silver.

This thing was something Chen Changgeng had Lao Feng make a long time ago.

The silver they earned from the imperial estates naturally belonged to the Crown Prince.

Even the imperial estates have been returned to the Crown Prince; even if Lord Wang had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare to accept this silver.

Besides, Chen Changgeng didn't take it all.

There were some loose silver coins and some cheap jewelry treasures inside, but Chen Changgeng did not take them.

That's enough for Lord Wang to embellish his political achievements.

"I've snatched such a large sum of money from you."

"If Lin Dequan knew about this, he'd be furious!"

Chen Changgeng happily picked up a silver ingot and played with it in his hand.

This box must contain at least several thousand taels of silver.

The Crown Prince's residence has enough for its daily needs in the short term.

However, this is still far less than what Lin Dequan made by using the name of the Crown Prince's Mansion!

……

When they returned to the Crown Prince's residence, it was already dark.

Chen Changgeng went back to his room and found that Ziyuan had not returned yet.

Just then, Geng Liang and his men collected the clothes they had borrowed from the laundry room that day and were preparing to return them.

Chen Changgeng quickly waved his hand, calling him to prepare to go and take a look.

Meanwhile, in the laundry room.

"You scoundrel! You've ruined my clothes!"

"Who washed it? Step forward!"

"I, this eunuch, am determined to drag you to the janitor's office and punish you severely!"

Hearing the commotion in the courtyard, Aunt Ma quickly ran out and, upon seeing the person who was angry, immediately went to meet them.

"Oh dear, Grandpa Bao, what's wrong?"

The fat eunuch called Bao Gonggong glared with his narrow, yin-yang eyes and spread out the clothes in his hand.

"Look, a huge gash has burst open here!"

"Who, who washed my clothes?!"

"I'm so angry, Aunt Ma! You absolutely have to find her for me today!"

Inside the courtyard, all the maids responsible for washing clothes lowered their heads, their faces filled with fear.

Like Lin Dequan, this eunuch Bao came out of the palace with the crown prince.

However, he was of low status; at that time, he was just a lowly eunuch serving tea and water in the palace.

Later, Lin Dequan became the chief steward of the Crown Prince's residence, and naturally, relying on his seniority and background in the palace, he also became the eunuch in charge of the Crown Prince's daily life.

In the Crown Prince's residence, his status was only slightly lower than that of the chief steward.

Most people wouldn't dare mess with him!

Aunt Ma looked down and saw that the silk eunuch's robe had a broken thread at the waist, with a tear the length of a palm.

Then she looked at Grandpa Bao's round belly and immediately understood.

These past few days, the Crown Prince has been staying indoors, and most of the fine wine and food sent to him have ended up in the belly of this eunuch Bao.

If an animal is castrated, it is more likely to become obese.

Over time, the fat he had accumulated started to show its power.

He clearly ruined the clothes himself, but he insisted on finding someone else to take the blame and extort a lot of money from them.

There's no way around it; a higher-ranking official can easily crush you—that's a common occurrence.

"Let me think... this outfit is..."

Aunt Ma took the booklet, compared it, and her expression changed instantly.

Two large characters were prominently displayed above: Aster!

This girl, Ziyuan, was sent by Chen Changgeng, who always chose the easiest jobs for her.

The clothes of these high-ranking eunuchs were generally very clean; they could be washed and rubbed clean in no time.

I never expected to run into such a big problem today.

What should we do?

Aunt Ma panicked immediately.

"Who?"

With a sharp voice, Grandpa Bao snatched the notebook from Aunt Ma's hand.

My eyes twitched rapidly, and I quickly found the name Ziyuan.

He immediately put his hands on his hips and pinched his pinky finger.

"Ziyuan, which one is Ziyuan? Step forward for me!"

Upon hearing the name Ziyuan, everyone around immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The way he looked at Ziyuan was one of schadenfreude.

Ziyuan has been working in the laundry room for a while now, and Aunt Ma treats her like a precious treasure every day.

They were working themselves to the bone, while she was having the time of her life. These palace maids were already insanely jealous.

Now that no one is protecting you, and you've offended someone as powerful as Eunuch Bao, let's see what she does!

"I am Shion."

Azi looked up and answered coldly.

Normally, Azi would go back to her room before dark.

She was cornered here by this bastard today, and she realized something was wrong as soon as she opened her eyes.

Then she noticed the unfriendly looks from those around her, and she began to feel annoyed.

She knew perfectly well that her younger sister, A-Yuan, was doing chores in the laundry room.

In their occasional correspondence, A-Yuan had mentioned that someone was secretly making things difficult for her.

Seeing the current situation, she could tell at a glance that he had already decided to kill her.

If it weren't for not wanting to cause trouble for his sister and Chen Changgeng, there would be no survivors here now.

"You are Shion!"

Eunuch Bao's expression changed slightly, his gaze fixed on Ziyuan's beautiful face, and his tone softened considerably.

"Do you know how much this outfit of mine is worth!"

"One hundred taels of silver!"

"You ruined it, you have to pay for it!"

Ziyuan looked at the fat pig in front of her and answered coldly.

"No money, can't afford to pay, won't pay!"

Such harsh words immediately angered Eunuch Bao, who retorted angrily.

"You insolent fool, how dare you speak to me like that!"

"You can't afford to pay, can't you find a way?"

"You ruined my clothes and you think you can just wash them quickly? No way!"

Bao Gonggong snorted coldly.

"However, I won't make things difficult for you."

"Alright, you'll spend the night with me, and I'll pretend this never happened."

"how?"

Upon hearing this, Ziyuan's face immediately darkened, her fists clenched tightly, and her killing intent was palpable!

Just then, Aunt Ma quickly came out and grabbed Grandpa Bao's hand.

"Eunuch Bao, you are a magnanimous man, please forgive Miss Ziyuan this time."

"This Miss Ziyuan is no ordinary person!"

Aunt Ma didn't say it explicitly, but whispered this sentence into Grandpa Bao's ear.

"roll!"

"You think you can teach this old man how to do things, you wretched woman?"

Grandpa Bao was already furious, and upon hearing this, he shoved Aunt Ma away.

His identity is extraordinary, just how extraordinary!

His only fear was the Crown Prince!

Now that Xiao Lie is staying at home, he is the king of this mansion.

He's taken a liking to Ziyuan today, and he's determined to get her tonight no matter what.

Aunt Ma sincerely wanted to help, but was pushed to the ground by Eunuch Bao, who made her fall flat on her face. A hint of resentment flashed in his eyes.

Since you're courting death, you can't blame anyone else!

"Today, I've set my sights on this little girl, and no one can change my mind!"

"Ziyuan, is it? I advise you to be sensible and come back with me."

"otherwise……"

"Otherwise what?!"

Just then, a faint question came from outside the laundry room.

Behind Chen Changgeng, Geng Liang, Xiao Xizi, and Xiao Fuzi walked over carrying piles of clothes.
