Chapter 4243: Windfall

Mo Lian saw his wife starting to perk up, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot. "Qiaoqiao, let's go pack these supplies."

"Look at our dad, so old-fashioned. He doesn't even use a spatial ring directly. He has to bring a whole list of rewards to announce and put on airs."

If Mo Liusheng heard this, he'd surely retort fiercely to this scoundrel.

What's a reward? Of course, it's something known throughout the court and the land; that's what makes it a reward.

Qiao Mu nodded in deep agreement. With a wave of her hand, over ten storage talismans suddenly flew up, neatly categorizing and collecting all the scattered items in the courtyard.

"Crown Princess." Li Ye suddenly appeared before the little Crown Princess with a bounce.

The fellow had a small, stern face, and tucked under his arm was a small, square brocade box. Seeing the little Crown Princess look at him, he respectfully presented the box to her.

"Please inspect."

"Empress Mother said that the properties inside were originally meant for the Crown Prince. Since the Crown Princess is now in charge, giving them to you is the same."

The little Crown Princess took it and saw a box full of house deeds, land deeds, and spiritual currency cards.

Her small hand trembled, almost dropping everything on the ground.

Mo Lian saw this and quickly reached out to help her steady the brocade box.

The little Crown Princess quickly patted her husband's chest, letting out a long breath. "Mother truly isn't short on money."

"Wifey, keep all these safe. They're all yours."

When the Crown Prince said this, he didn't see the worrying glances the small palace maids and eunuchs in the courtyard were casting his way...

They truly felt worried for His Highness. In front of the Crown Princess, why did he surrender everything...?

They remembered that those court officials, more or less, would hide some private funds for emergencies.

The Crown Prince was too honest with his wife.

"Husband, don't you want to keep some for yourself?"

"No need, your husband is rich."

The group of small palace maids and eunuchs exchanged glances, feeling a strange sense of melancholy.

Though they didn't understand where this melancholy came from, they always felt a bit stifled.

Every time they saw the Crown Prince and Crown Princess's way of interacting, they felt a tightness in their chests.

At this time, they still didn't understand that this was how single people felt when seeing a loving couple—a sense of suffocation and being force-fed "dog food" with no place to complain.

Speaking of which, the Crown Prince and his wife didn't have much to prepare.

These past two days, the little Crown Princess had selected a few well-known shops and estates in the capital from the stack of properties the Empress had given her and inspected them.

Sigh, with more and more properties in hand, it seemed she needed to cultivate a general manager to help her oversee all property movements.

The little Crown Princess returned with a melancholy expression.

The Crown Prince saw that his wife was unhappy again and quickly asked why. His amusement grew when he heard her reason. "Qiaoqiao, it's just finding a female general manager. What's there to be so worried about?"

"Have you forgotten? My Dark Night Pavilion has many talents in various fields. I'll find one for you."

The Crown Prince was true to his word. In less than half a day, he found a refined female manager named Song Ting for Qiao Mu.

Qiao Mu had a long talk with her and was very satisfied with this astute middle-aged woman.

From now on, with someone to help her filter important information and keep track of all property movements, she would be much more relaxed.

After all, her main energy still needed to be focused on cultivation. As for various property issues, she could only selectively review and handle the important ones.
