After traveling through time, I married the prince by signing in

Chapter 19: Should I stay with this person for the New Year instead of divorcing him?

At the same time, in a large mansion at the foot of the imperial city of Kyoto, the issue of donating one million taels was being discussed.

"Your Majesty, we must guard against this person."

"Jubaolou's move has ruined our plan."

Prince Duan glanced at him and said, "This is such a simple matter, do I still need you to remind me?"

"Why don't you find this person? A bad guy suddenly appeared in Jubaolou to cause trouble."

Ji Zhong was silent.

Is this something he doesn't want to check?

Prince Duan glanced at him and asked, "How is the investigation going?"

Ji Zhong shook his head after hearing this and said, "Those two manors are well guarded. I heard that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has also been there, but he was unable to find out who is behind it."

"I tried to talk to the manager about buying rice, but he refused to budge, saying the boss had other plans."

"I guess he has already discussed it with the prince."

Prince Duan frowned, "How much food do we have accumulated now?"

"One hundred and two thousand four hundred kilograms."

Ji Zhong thought for a moment and said, “Your Highness, once the batch of grain in the prince’s hands is released, then the batch in our hands will be wasted.”

"Your Majesty, why not transfer the grain out while everyone is still unaware?"

Prince Duan thought for a moment and said, "No, just put it in your hand first."

"One hundred thousand kilograms of grain won't last long."

"Except for the rice produced in those two farms this year, there is no other grain produced."

"When winter comes, it will be a good opportunity, so you should find a way to bring back all the food you can get from outside."

“What I failed to accomplish last year, I must accomplish this year.”

Prince Duan said this with excitement flashing in his eyes.

Ji Zhong had a different idea. Since Jubaolou could provide one thousand acres of rice seeds, it would be inevitable that it would provide another one thousand acres.

What's more, the other party is the one who took out 100,000 kilograms of grain at once, and they were all coarse grains of the same quality. There is no guarantee that there won't be another 100,000 kilograms of inferior coarse grains.

But seeing Prince Duan's expression at this moment, he could only suppress the thought.

Moreover, given the current situation, what would be the point even if we succeeded in doing what we did last year?

Even if you store up more food, you can't save this ruined Anguo.

Ji Chong thought about it and felt that he had made a wrong move. Now he felt like he was waiting to lose.

"How is the matter with the Hu family being handled?" Prince Duan became angry when he thought of the Hu family.

If Marquis Yongxing wasn't useful, who would care about his family's affairs?

Ji Zhong shook his head and said, "That house is definitely not something that can be taken back. The other party bought it using legitimate means and even asked Shangqing Pavilion to intervene."

"The Gu family in Mingzhou City is also involved in this. Unless the current buyer is willing to sell, it will be difficult to make a move."

"Who is the buyer? They asked Shangqing Pavilion to come forward. Could it be that he knows someone from Jubao Tower?" asked Prince Duan.

Ji Zhong shook his head, "A man named Yuan Man."

"My people have asked, and they found out that the other party paid the owner of Shangqing Pavilion to come forward."

"The previous Shangqing Pavilion may not be a big deal, but now because of the donation of 100,000 taels of grain, and the Jubao Tower is also an asset, we cannot offend them."

Prince Duan thought for a moment and said, "Go check this Yuan Man."

"There are few fools who can be shopkeepers. It is impossible for them to offend the Hu family for a little money."

"Others may not know the background of the Hu family, but the shopkeeper may not know that the Hu family is the prefect of Xiaocheng and the descendants of the Marquis of Yongxing?"

Ji nodded.

Prince Duan continued, "Tell Marquis Yongxing everything you can. You have to bear the consequences of your own Yue family's actions. If they do it again, I will make them get out of Kyoto."

I sold my house myself, and now you're asking him to make peace? What a joke.

What a fool. What's the point of keeping such relatives?

Ji Zhong took the order and retreated.

After walking out of Prince Duan's mansion, he looked back at Prince Duan's plaque, sighed, and walked towards the dark street.

Xiaocheng Hu family.

Since moving to the courtyard on Alley Street, the Hu family has been in turmoil every day.

The eldest brother secretly sold the ancestral home and used up all the money. It would be strange if the other families could be quiet.

When Mr. Hu saw his eldest daughter-in-law kneeling in front of him and asking for a divorce, he was so angry that he was about to burst through the roof.

"My eldest daughter-in-law, Hong'er is about to get married. Are you sure you want to divorce him now?"

"Don't you care about your children's future marriage and career?"

Guan looked up at him and said, "I will take Hong'er and Yue'er away and bring them back to the Guan family to raise them."

"Their marriage will be arranged by the Guan family."

"Guan! Do you know what you are saying?" Old Master Hu stood up in shock.

"How can I let you take me, a descendant of the Hu family, back to my mother's home?"

Divorce is impossible, and he even wants to take away the descendants of the Hu family.

Guan looked at him and sneered, "Even if they don't divorce, what future can Hong'er have if he stays in the Hu family? Which lady would be willing to marry him?"

"The Hu family's affairs have long been spread throughout Xiaocheng, and everyone in Jingdu City has heard about it. If Hong'er stays in the Hu family, he will only become a waste."

"I didn't care what Hu Haida did outside before, but now he has sold his ancestral home to redeem a prostitute."

"How do you let Hong'er and Yue'er get around in Xiaocheng and how do they get along?"

Mr. Hu was silent with a dark face. After a long while, he said, "I have asked Yongxing Hou to come forward. This matter will be wiped out soon."

Guan smiled, "How? Will they return the house to you unconditionally after they sell it?"

"Everyone in Xiaocheng knows your identity, but you still moved out."

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Guan sneered again.

"How can the Hu family buy it back? Do they have the money?"

"In this age of food shortage, Hu Haida sold nearly 200,000 taels of silver, but he gave it all to that prostitute, leaving not a single tael for his children."

"Oh, why don't you divorce such a person and keep him for the New Year?"

Mr. Hu looked at her, with a sinister look in his eyes.

He naturally knew where he was wrong, but he was his own son after all.

Guan naturally did not miss it, and put away the smile on her face and said: "I have sent a message to my grandfather and father a few days ago. I believe they will come here soon to seek justice for me."

"You..." Old Master Hu was extremely angry, but he had to suppress his thoughts.

If anything happened to the Guan family at this time, the Hu family would be in big trouble.

The Guan family is very prominent in the south, and they can even have a say in front of His Majesty. That was why he had asked for a woman from the Guan family for his son to marry.

Unfortunately, his son was useless. Despite the help Guan gave him, he never caught anything.

Guan didn't care what Mr. Hu was thinking. She stood up, bowed and left.

After watching her disappear, Mr. Hu took a deep breath and called someone in, "Go, invite the old man back. If he doesn't come back, tell him never to come back."

"And that prostitute, just kill her and see how much silver you can get back."

"Yes."
