Chapter 284 Children quarrel
She wondered if Bei Qin knew about this.
As the Prince's Secretary, can't he be trusted?
"Tomorrow when they return to the city, you can lead people to investigate. Don't alert them."
The next day, Chang Yan brought back the news: "Your Highness, I led some people to sneak in. There were some traps on the way, but fortunately I managed to crack them."
"It looks claustrophobic from the outside, but when you go deeper, there are people guarding the way."
"I remember your instruction not to alert the enemy, so I retreated."
Bei Jingchu felt more and more depressed after listening to this. After a moment of silence, she said softly, "I understand."
Every family has secrets, but no one's secrets need to be covered up to this extent.
"Go ahead and bring some incense with you. Put the guard to sleep and then go in."
Changyan immediately went to investigate again and soon came back to report: "Your Highness, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the manor. In the middle is a warehouse for gold and silver treasures. It is very large."
"I took a quick look and found that it has already caught up with the bank's profit for four years."
"You are the one who knows best how huge the profits of our bank are."
Yes, she knows.
Therefore, it is impossible for an ordinary princess to have so much money.
Is it corruption?
Bei Jingchu actually breathed a sigh of relief. As a royal relative, Aunt Xianning would at most be demoted, and Bei Qin and the others would not be implicated.
The anti-corruption campaign in Dai Viet was over a long time ago. Although many people were executed because of this incident, Bei Jingchu and his father are still being assassinated by their enemies.
She secretly took people to check the public funds that had passed through Princess Xianning's hands, but the accounts were clean and there was no sign of anything wrong.
Faced with this result, Bei Jingchu had no choice but to continue investigating.
Things going on in secret have not yet come to light, and life continues in harmony.
There is no curfew on the 15th day of the first lunar month, the Lantern Festival.
The palace banquet was over. It was a rare New Year holiday, and everyone put aside their worries and came out to celebrate.
Like in previous years, Bei Jingchu never broke the rule of not leaving the palace and went to see the lanterns with a group of friends.
There were a few tails trailing behind.
The second princess, Bei Yanyu, took her arm, swung it coquettishly, and showed off to the third prince, Bei Jingyu.
The boy was so angry that he went up and took her other arm.
Bei Yanyu angrily slapped him: "Aye said, you are a boy, you are already thirteen years old, you can't hold your elder sister's hand anymore!"
"Only the younger sister can hold the eldest sister's hand, not the younger brother when he grows up!"
Bei Jingyu dodged her slap and then grabbed her.
"I'll hold your hand, I'll hold your hand!"
"Hit me if you dare! Lelelelelelelelelel~"
Bei Yanyu really went over to hit him, and the boy immediately screamed: "Eldest sister, help me!"
"You take care of her——"
Bei Jingchu: ...My ears hurt.
It’s so noisy and my head hurts a bit.
She tried to mediate the fight: "Stop making trouble and behave yourself."
...still arguing...
"This is outside, you two should pay attention to the image of our family."
It has no effect.
Bei Jingchu took a deep breath and yelled, "Stop! I'll count to three! If you continue to make trouble, go back to the palace! Three-two-"
The two children immediately quieted down and sat on either side of her obediently, like little lambs.
Wouldn't it have been better if this had been done earlier?
What are you making such a fuss about?
Thinking that she was supposed to bring three more, Bei Jingchu couldn't help but shiver.
The children were stuck in the palace and wanted to see the outside world, so they all came to her and begged her for help.
