Chapter 31: Being cut off from salary?

Luo Lan really couldn't bear to hit him, so she could only purse her lips and nod, but she didn't forget to remind him indirectly,

"No matter how close you are, people will change in the face of interests and time, so don't put too much expectations on others..."

She had a hint, but he didn't know why!

In his heart, he must not know that his fifth brother has changed! But she couldn't bear to tell him what happened that day. She should wait until he is well again!

The next day was the end of the month, but Prince Yu's Mansion had not received the salary.

Although there is still some money left from the jade pendant and Chang Guifei's reward last time, it is not enough for the palace's expenses next month.

Luo Lan called A Hou and told him to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to ask what was going on.

Ah Hou came back in a hurry an hour later and came to the main hall of the palace. He clenched his fists angrily and said to Luo Lan:

"Princess, I'm really mad at you."

Luo Lan's hand that was drinking tea shook slightly, and the tea almost overflowed. Then she frowned and said:

"What's wrong? The Ministry of Internal Affairs wants to withhold money again?"

"It's not a deduction, it's just not being paid. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs heard somewhere that our Prince Yu's Mansion had other ways to make money, and they didn't care about the little salary money from the court, so they just stopped it."

"Is this happening?"

Luo Lan's pretty face was suddenly covered with black lines, and Ah Hou continued:

"Princess, didn't they do this on purpose? How can we get money? There are so many people in the palace, and they have to eat and drink! Now even the salary is not paid, what should we do?"

Luo Lan frowned, feeling a little more angry.

When something like this happens, you can tell with your toes that this must be the trick of that dog prince. He must have come a few days ago and saw that Prince Yu's Mansion was not worried about food and drink, so he got angry and asked the Ministry of Internal Affairs to cut off Prince Yu's Mansion.

of salary silver.

He had no idea that it was because her operation on Leng Yu was successful that day that she asked her servants to cook something delicious to celebrate. The food in the house was usually very simple.

Ah Hong said with some worry:

"Princess, why don't we start living frugally this month and buy less food in the kitchen..."

Luo Lan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "If the money is not saved, how can we reduce it? It's not like we have a lot of money every day. Besides, I haven't received any salary from the court since I took over the palace. Now it's completely cut off.

These people are really cruel."

Ayu cursed angrily on the side:

"These bastards, I'll go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to reason with them."

Luo Lan waved his hands calmly, "Not to mention going to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, what's the point of trying to reason with the emperor? Prince Yu is already on the verge of death. Even if he lives for one more day, there will be people who can't stand it. Prince Yu's Mansion has already become a

Who cares about our life and death when others despise us? I have my own way of doing this, so you can go and do whatever you need to do!"

Although everyone was worried about her, they could only retreat angrily.

Luo Lan, who was sitting in the main hall, raised his hand and rubbed his aching forehead.

This matter is really difficult. Even if she can exchange Leng Yu's things for silver, it is not a long-term solution. The salary that Prince Yu's palace should pay has been cut off. This is not a matter of one or two days, but

It's a long-term thing. In this way, if there is no way to make money, how can we just rest on our laurels?

The more she thought about these things, the more her head hurt.

But she couldn't tell Leng Yu about this, otherwise he would be more impatient, which would not be good for his injury.

She sat there alone for a long time, like a helpless bird, not knowing what to do next.

She has endured this family, and she should hold on until the end, until the day Leng Yu can stand up.

Thinking of this, she gritted her teeth and let out a long sigh of relief.

It's getting colder, and it's time to buy two thick clothes for Leng Yu. Although I only have a few dozen taels of silver in my hand, I can't treat him badly.

She called Ah Hong and Ah Cai and went straight to the clothing store on the street.

It had been about ten days since she last went out. If it weren't for the fact that she had lost all her money, she was worried that all her money would be spent, and Leng Yu couldn't wear thick clothes, she would not have planned to go out.

That guy Leng Yu won’t be able to see himself when he wakes up later, so he should be thinking wildly!!

Walking on the streets of the capital, she felt mixed emotions. It was already the end of October, and these servants were still wearing thin clothes. It was time to change into thicker clothes later.

Although these people are dead contracts, they still need to be paid some daily expenses. As well as the servants in the family, everyone will need money at the end of the month.

Thinking of this, her brows furrowed even more.

A Cai reminded her from behind:

"Princess, please buy some thick clothes later. Your body is weak and the weather is cold, so you need to wear more clothes."

She shook her head and smiled bitterly, how could she be willing to do so? But she was the princess after all, so she still couldn't say shabby things.

So she shook her head, "I'll find a place to customize a few pieces later. There aren't many pieces sold on the street that can catch my eye."

A Cai pursed her lips and said "Oh" and then said:

"Princess, I know there is a tailor shop at the east end of the city. The clothes are very beautiful. Official ladies and people from the palace go there to make them. May I take you to have a look?"

"I said no, don't use it. We are pressed for time today. After buying clothes for the prince, we will go back. By the way, we have to go to the drug store to buy medicine in a while. The prince has almost finished his medicine."

Although there were Western medicines in her operating room, she still wanted to give him more Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine was slow to take effect, but the treatment was thorough. Besides, she had always believed in Chinese medicine.

Buying medicine for Leng Yu every month is another huge expense. Thinking of this, she took a long breath and blew the bangs on her head to float.

At the ready-made clothing store, she didn't dare to buy anything good, but only ordinary warm clothes. Then she didn't dare to stay any longer and walked directly to the drug store.

The waiter at the pharmacy gave her medicine according to her own prescription. Just as the three of them were about to leave, a child suddenly rushed in. Before she could react, he bumped into her leg.

Ah Cai stepped forward with some displeasure, picked up the child's collar, glared at him and asked, "Smelly child, don't you have eyes when you walk?"

Although the child's face was dirty, he had an eccentric look.

He blinked and glanced at A Cai, then looked at Luo Lan,

"Miss, I accidentally bumped into you. I'm sorry, but I'm really in a hurry. I hope you won't blame me."

Seeing that he spoke in an orderly manner, Luo Lan smiled slightly and motioned for A Cai to let go.

He hurriedly cupped his fists at Luo Lan and said:

"Thank you, miss."

Without saying this, he hurriedly ran into the drug store.

Luo Lan left with A Cai and A Hong.

They walked along the road for a while, and she bought two pig's trotters and a black-bone chicken for Leng Yu. These things were good for his body. In the future, the palace would not be able to stop having such nutritional supplements, but thinking of the money in his pocket, Luo

Lan could only sigh silently.

At this time, she saw the child who had hit her just now wiping tears while walking. She took two quick steps to catch up.
