Acai's Sky

Chapter 393 Where are the things? Where are they?

When Prince Rui came back from outside, he saw a pile of goods at the gate of his palace. He couldn't help but wonder: Who is this person who is so brave to put things here?

Looking again, he saw more than a dozen teenagers blocking the front door of his house, each with an angry expression on his face.

Prince Rui quickly got off the carriage and walked forward.

Upon closer inspection, he found that they were the general's grandsons, including his eldest son's good friends Li Yifei and Li Yizhou.

Prince Rui greeted them cheerfully, "Hey, aren't these our great general's grandsons, Li Yifei and Li Yizhou..."

Li Yizhou hurried forward and bowed, saying respectfully, "Greetings to Prince Rui. May Prince Rui be well!"

Prince Rui nodded with satisfaction, then pointed at the pile of goods with his chin, his eyes revealing confusion, as if asking them what they meant and how they dared to block the door of Prince Rui's mansion?

Li Yizhou understood and answered before anyone else: "We are going to our aunt's house today, and my cousin wants to buy some gifts for us brothers and sisters."

After hearing this, Prince Rui immediately understood a little.

Li Yizhou continued, "In the end, your Second Prince, under the instigation of Miss Liu, unloaded all the items that had already been packed, leaving them all over the floor, even the carpet was trampled and made dirty."

"Not only that, a lot of glass ornaments were lost and broken. Where did these lost items go? I'm afraid the only way to find out is to ask these guards..."

As he spoke, Li Yizhou glared at the group of guards fiercely.

Prince Rui's eyes drifted towards Sima Nan and Miss Liu, and a sense of unhappiness rose in his heart.

Just a light glance made Sima Nan's legs tremble, and Miss Liu's face turned pale and she covered her face with a handkerchief.

Li Yifei continued his brother's words with a smile: "Your second prince said he wanted to compensate us, but he didn't bring that much money, so we followed him here to get the silver."

Prince Rui asked in a gentle voice, "How much silver? If it's too much, just give me a silver note!"

When Ah Cai heard about the banknotes, she quickly took out her abacus and fiddled with it for a while, muttering, "One hundred and eighty-eight thousand eight hundred taels, sincere favor..."

Prince Rui lowered his head and his eyes fell on the little kid who was hugging a huge abacus tightly, and the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.

He reached out and gently grabbed Ah Cai's bun, then asked curiously, "Are you the little girl from the Yun family?"

Ah Cai raised her head and muttered to herself, this posture is really tiring!

However, when she heard the question from King Rui, she replied helplessly, "Not anymore!"

Prince Rui leaned over, a gentle smile on his face, and said softly, "Your little tricks of blackmailing people like this won't work!"

Ah Cai opened her big round eyes wide, blinked a few times, and then began to count seriously on her fingers:

"Compensation for the goods, compensation for emotional distress, cleaning fees for the dirty goods... and so many other expenses. I only asked for such a small amount."

After hearing this, King Rui frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Mental damage compensation?"

"Oh, these are all gifts I specially picked out for my cousins, but now they've become like this before I even had a chance to give them away!"

Ah Cai puffed up her cheeks in anger and pointed at the items in the car indignantly, "If you don't believe me, just look for yourself!"

She had inquired about it. Her uncle and the prince grew up together and had a close relationship, so she was naturally not afraid.

King Rui was speechless as he looked at the little man who looked serious but was talking nonsense.

How could he, the dignified Prince of Yu Dynasty, be blackmailed by a little brat like you?

"You all should go back first. After I have thoroughly investigated the matter, I will apologize to the general!"

Li Yifei hurriedly picked up his little cousin and bowed to say goodbye.

Ah Cai didn't forget to wave goodbye to King Rui: "Remember to come to us to pay the silver!"

She turned her head, looked at Sima Nan and said, "Next time you come to my house and make trouble, let's see how much money you can pay!"

Sima Nan gnashed his teeth in anger: "What a troublesome little brat!"

Prince Rui was furious and kicked Sima Nan: "Do you want to be beaten again? Go in and kneel down to reflect on your actions!"

Then, he turned his head to look at the little girl from the Liu family and warned her sternly, "You'd better not have any bad ideas. Anan is not someone you can reach. Take care of yourself!"

Then, he called a guard over and said, "Send her back to the Liu family and tell them that they must pay the same amount as our palace pays in compensation. Don't try to cause any trouble!"

"Yes, sir!" Several guards immediately stepped forward and took Miss Liu away.

Sima Nan took a furtive glance, not daring to make a sound. He lowered his head as he walked into the palace and knelt outside the hall.

Prince Rui Sima Hui walked into the palace and looked at Sima Nan kneeling down, and laughed angrily.

"Is this how you behave when you go out? For a little girl, you go through the gifts of the general's daughter and granddaughter?"

"Where are your manners? Where are your self-control? Are they all gone? You act impulsively and lose everything at the mere suggestion of others, huh?"

Sima Nan lowered his head after being scolded. He didn't know why he was so impulsive.

Prince Rui Sima Hui kicked him a few more times, "What kind of good woman can the Liu family produce? You dare to contact her without even asking around. If you want to die, then go away!"

Sima Nan wanted to argue that Miss Liu was not that kind of person. "She was just anxious and wanted to find that mahogany dressing box, that's all."

"That's all? Did you find it? Didn't they tell you? Why are you still looking for it?"

"Those are imported goods, incredibly expensive, and you're still rummaging through them."

He looked up at the guards beside the second brother and said, "Those who have taken things, please take them out. Don't make me say it again!"

Several guards quickly took out the glass ornaments hidden in their arms.

Glass bracelets, glass hairpins, glass combs, glass bracelets, glass anklets...

Prince Rui took a look and said, "They are all high-quality goods, luxury goods from the western corridor..."

He turned around and sat on the chair, prodding Lao Er with his whip, "General, we all have to give you some face. How much do you have in your private pocket? Take it all out."

Sima Nan's face was filled with dejection. "Not much left, only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver. The rest are antique jades and other things left by my mother."

After hearing this, Prince Rui rubbed his ears and said, "What? Only a few tens of thousands of taels of silver are left?"

He turned to look at the butler, "After the princess left, how much cash did each of the brothers receive?"

The butler bowed hastily and replied respectfully, "The princess left 1.3 million taels of silver, the prince received 1 million taels, and the second master received 300,000 taels."

Prince Rui looked at the second son and asked, "Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are left with only tens of thousands? Where did they go?"

Sima Nan broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that since he met Liu Bilin, he would spend so much on her?

King Rui looked at the attendant beside the second son and asked, "Where did you spend it? Do you have a bill?"

"Have!"

The servant quickly saluted, ran back and brought the account book.

Prince Rui flipped through the account book. "A set of jasper and jadeite jewelry, one hundred thousand taels of silver?"

He kicked the second in command, Sima Nan.

"Thousand-year-old ginseng, white jade Guanyin, exquisite embroidery..."

He looked up at the second brother and asked, "Where is the thing?"
