Your Majesty, the princess is fleeing famine with her child!

Chapter 171 The Young Master is Back

Yun Fuling laughed when she heard this. This little brat is quite greedy.

But with so many kids, it's hard to choose just one.

However, Yun Fuling did not change her words, but said, "Pick the one you like best first."

Yun Jingmo immediately noticed the word "first" that Yun Fuling said. He blinked, his eyes swept over the people standing in a row in front of him, then he stepped forward, took a little boy's hand, and pulled him out of the team.

"Mom, I want to choose him."

Yun Fuling saw that Yun Jingmo picked a little boy who was the same age as him. The boy looked very thin and seemed docile and timid, but there was a hint of rebelliousness and loneliness in his eyes.

Yun Fuling frowned subconsciously.

She remembered that when they introduced each other just now, the child said that he was best at fighting!

However, since it was the person chosen by Yun Jingmo himself, Yun Fuling did not object, but nodded and said, "Choose another one."

This time, Yun Jingmo picked a little boy with a round face. He was born with a smiling face and looked very likable.

Yun Fuling looked at the remaining people and pointed at two.

One looked very smart and clever, and the other was the boy named Ma Rong who spoke first.

After Yun Fuling finished picking, she turned back to Xiao Jingyi and said, "Four people are enough."

Xiao Jingyi nodded and waved to Butler Yuan.

Butler Yuan immediately ordered the children who were not selected to be taken away.

For a moment, only the four chosen children were left in the courtyard.

The four of them realized that they had been chosen and would serve the young master of the palace from now on, and they couldn't help but reveal a hint of joy in their eyes.

The reason Xiao Jingyi stayed until now was to select a personal servant for Jing Mo.

Now that the person has been chosen, he said something to Yun Fuling, patted Jing Mo's head, and then went to the study in the front yard to handle government affairs.

Yun Fuling looked at the four children kneeling in the courtyard, and Steward Yuan said at the right time: "Please give us names, Princess."

Yun Fuling thought that the Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed and it was autumn now, so she said, "Then let's name it after Autumn."

As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed at them one by one, "Autumn leaves, autumn rain, autumn wind, and autumn fruits."

The thin-looking one is called Qiu Ye.

The one with the round face is called Qiuyu.

The one who speaks eloquently is called Autumn Wind.

Finally, Ma Rong, who looked very steady, was given the name "Qiu Shi".

The four of them immediately kowtowed to express their gratitude.

Yun Fuling acted like a princess and gave them a lecture, just asking them to serve Jing Mo well in the future.

After beating it, give it a sweet date.

Then he asked Jing Mo to take them back to his yard.

After Jing Mo left, Yun Fuling listened to Butler Yuan's report on the palace's internal affairs.

Yun Fuling listened roughly and let Butler Yuan handle anything he could handle on his own. She would take over the matters he could not make a decision on.

After getting involved in the palace's internal affairs, Yun Fuling realized that although it may not seem obvious on a daily basis, in such a large palace, there are really a lot of things to do when you add up the daily social interactions, parties and banquets, shopping and cleaning, etc.

Fortunately, she has the help of Butler Yuan, otherwise Yun Fuling would be exhausted if she had to take on such a large task.

Yun Fuling was busy managing the household affairs, but in a three-courtyard house located in Tianshui Hutong in the outer city, the atmosphere was very depressing.

The plaque in front of the gate of the house had long been replaced, and now it was replaced by a sign that read "Yun House".

This house was bought by Yun Gansong a few years ago. After his family was driven out of Jichunhou Mansion by Yun Fuling, they moved in here.

Due to regulations of the imperial court, apart from the mansions granted by the emperor, only families of officials of the third rank and above could use the word "fu".

Yun Gansong has now been dismissed from his post, so the plaque of this three-story mansion can only read "Yun's House".

Xiang sat in the main hall of the main courtyard and felt that everything she saw was unsatisfactory.

In the eyes of ordinary people, this three-courtyard house can be considered a large house.

But for Xiang, who was used to living in the Jichunhou Mansion, it just felt cramped.

The Jichunhou Mansion is a mansion bestowed by Emperor Taizu. It is a large house with five courtyards, a large garden and a lotus pond. It is very pleasant to cool off by the lotus pond in summer.

Moreover, the Jichunhou Mansion is located in the inner city, and the neighbors are all wealthy lords.

Look at it now. Not only is the house smaller, but the neighbors are also mediocre families with small gates.

Even the servants were sold off due to the limitations of the house, leaving only a few loyal and useful ones.

Xiang thought about how she had finally met Yun Lingzhi yesterday, and how her good daughter would be exiled to the border soon. Her heart felt as if it was soaked in coptis water and she was in great pain.

She pushed Yun Gansong and asked crying, "What should we do now? Are we going to watch Lingzhi being exiled?"

Yun Gansong frowned and said unhappily, "What can I do? She's still your good daughter!"

Yun Gansong felt angry and annoyed when he thought about how he had been implicated and even lost his position as imperial physician.

In order to meet Yun Lingzhi and find out what was going on, Yun Gansong had been running around these days, not only using up his past favors, but also spending a lot of money.

Although he secretly sold or transferred part of the assets of the Jichun Marquis Mansion to himself and the Xiang family over the years.

However, Yun Fuling actually took out her mother's dowry list and the list of assets of Jichunhou Mansion that had been registered with the government.

Because many things didn't match, Yun Fuling directly converted them into money according to their value and asked Yun Gansong to compensate.

Otherwise, we will go to court.

Yun Gansong naturally didn't dare to go to the government hall with Yun Fuling, so he had to choose to pay compensation.

Although Yun Gansong had foresight and transferred some industries away, Yun Fuling was unable to recover them.

In the end, Yun Fuling only got back half of the property of Jichunhou Mansion, but Yun Gansong was still very heartbroken.

He put a lot of effort into transferring half of the assets of the Jichunhou Mansion to himself, but the Xiang family's lifestyle became more and more extravagant in recent years, and they spent money without any restraint.

Plus the part to compensate Yun Fuling.

The little property he had had shrunk significantly.

Especially compared with the huge wealth of Zeng Jingchunhou Mansion, what he had left was nothing.

What's more, he lost his job as imperial physician, and Jishidiang was almost unable to continue operating due to the pressure from Yun Fuling.

If there is no income, I will probably end up living beyond my means.

And Xiang seemed to be unaware of his current situation, and even asked him to spend money to get Yun Lingzhi out.

Yun Gansong therefore valued the little assets he had even more, and he felt bad every time he spent a penny.

When Xiang heard Yun Gansong's words, she immediately became angry, "What do you mean by that? Does this mean that my daughter belongs to me alone?"

Yun Gansong was in a bad mood and didn't want to quarrel with Xiang.

He was about to leave when a servant suddenly came in and reported loudly: "Master, Madam, the eldest young master is back!"
