"No Wedding Unless Enemies and Lovers" 《不是冤家不拜堂》Chapter 67

 In the afternoon, the door of the side courtyard was knocked on, Mo Xiang hurriedly opened the door, she saw the housekeeper standing there with a very thick account book smiling, "This old servant has received orders to pay a visit to the princess."

Mo Xiang scratched her head, what was happening today, before no one was interested in the abandoned princess, now they came to see her one by one, the threshold of the side courtyard was soon going to be broken by people walking on it.

Even though Mo Xiang felt it was ridiculous in her mind, she didn't show it on her face, nodding, she turned around to report.

Inside the house, Ji Ling Xue was sat in front of the dressing table playing with a hair pin, having heard what was said she nodded: "Let the housekeeper in."

A moment later, the housekeeper entered the house stooping in a bow holding a thick account book, "Princess...this is the account for the residence over these two years, please take a look, this is the residence's expenses this month, prince said, everything should be managed by you."

Mo Xiang took the account book and a bag of silvers from the housekeeper, placing it in front of Ji Ling Xue, Ji Ling Xue picked up the bag of silver weighing it in her hand, raising an eyebrow, "There are only three hundred silvers in here?"

The housekeeper nodded, "Yes."

Ji Ling Xue said: "How much is imperial concubine and concubine's monthly expenses?"

The housekeeper said, "The imperial concubine spent a little over last month, she used five hundred silvers."

JI Ling Xue's lips twitched, she the rightful princess only had fifty silvers a month, yet Ji Yu Qing had ten times as much as her, Xiao Yi Chen really favoured her, now he had gone overboard, he wanted to use her to control Ji Yu Qing?

Ji Ling Xue gave a grim smile, waving her hand she said, "Fine, I understand."

The housekeeper turned prepared to leave, Ji Ling Xue thought of something to ask: "Housekeeper, has the prince told you to buy new furniture, he had promised me to replace everything in this house."

The housekeeper bowed, slowly turning around he said: "Princess, prince did tell me to buy new furniture, but it wasn't to be delivered to this side courtyard...rather to the courtyard Yi Lan opposite the prince's courtyard."

Ji Ling Xue raised her eyebrow, asking: "Who is living in Yi Lan courtyard? It can't be your prince has gotten another concubine again!"

The housekeeper's beard shook, shaking his head he said: "There's no on living in Yi Lan courtyard, it's always been empty." That was the rightful princess's courtyard, not just anyone could live there.

Ji Ling Xue frowned as she pondered over this, she didn't notice the trace of craftiness in the housekeeper's eyes, a while later, Ji Ling Xue patted her thigh standing up, calling for Mo Xiang: "Mo Xiang, come here!"

Mo Xiang entered, quietly asking, "Mistress what are your orders."

Ji Ling Xue turned to glance at the sky: "It's about to rain, go find a metal rod, oh right, one end must be pointy."

Mo Xiang blinked, "Mistress, why do you need it?"

Ji Ling Xue impatiently pushed the person out saying: "Just go, don't talk too much."

Mo Xiang was very quick, in a quarter of an hour she came back, a metre long metal rod in her hand she asked: "Mistress, is this rod long enough?"

Ji Ling Xue nodded, "Not bad, you've done very well."

Mo Xiang again asked: "This metal rod is rather heavy, mistress, what are you going to do with it?"

Ji Ling Xue had a mysterious smile on her face, looking at the dark sky outside: "Now I have to see if the heavens will help me..."

Mo Xiang rubbed her head, her mistress's words were getting more and more profound, she couldn't understand any of it?

As Ji Ling Xue expected, the black clouds did not disperse, rather they grew thicker, when the first lightning hit, Ji Ling Xue made Mo Xiang gather all their personal belongings and important items, she then walked out holding the metal rod.
