234 How Bold
The next morning, Ning Yue told Jiang Ying her thoughts.
Jiang Ying immediately said, “Leave this to me. I’ll prepare it for Grandpa.”
“Grandpa? Why do you call him Grandpa so easily?” Ning Yue rolled her eyes at Jiang Ying.
“Of course. In the future, we’ll be a family. Be it your family or mine, we have to call each other very smoothly,” Jiang Ying said with a smile.
These words were like a tongue twister, making Ning Yue dizzy. “Alright, alright. You make the decision. It just so happens that I have to think about the gift for Grandpa these days.”
When Jiang Ying heard this, he hurriedly held Ning Yue’s hand and said to her affectionately, “You have to prepare a gift for Grandpa. Coincidentally, I have a gift for you too.”
Ning Yue was instantly speechless. For some reason, when Jiang Ying said this, he felt like a domineering CEO.
She kept feeling that Jiang Ying was about to say, “I’ll give myself to you.”
At the thought of this, Ning Yue couldn’t help but shiver. What a joke. This wasn’t Jiang Ying’s style.
“Ning Yue, what are you thinking about? I’m telling you seriously that I have a gift for you. Why are you distracted?” Jiang Ying asked solemnly.
Ning Yue came back to her senses and cleared her throat. “I was just wondering what gift you would give me.”
After all, Jiang Ying was so poor.
Although he had been doing business with her and the crown prince these days, almost all the money Jiang Ying had received had gone into Jiang Huan’s pocket.
Of course, Jiang Huan did not spend it himself. It was equivalent to being tricked by the current emperor.
At the mention of the emperor, Ning Yue couldn’t help but roll her eyes. In modern terms, this emperor was simply a Best Actor.
The emperor of a country actually cried about being poor every day. Every day, he told Jiang Ying, Jiang Huan and even the crown prince that he had no money.
How was that possible? The emperor’s treasury was much more valuable than the national treasury.
It was not that the emperor was greedy for the treasury, but because the emperor liked to collect strange treasures the most. Then, he collected those treasures and kept them in his small vault.
What did it mean?
That meant that the emperor’s money had been saved for more than 30 to 40 years and had not been used.
Thirty to forty years of savings. That was much more valuable than the national treasury.
Therefore, if the emperor really did not have money, he should take out his small treasury and use it. Why did he cry about being poor all day?
Jiang Ying had no money. She couldn’t bear it and would help him, so the emperor was indirectly scamming her of her money.
Giving her a fief and conferring her the title of princess was the emperor’s way of scamming money from her.
Alright, Ning Yue felt that she shouldn’t have said this, but that was really what she thought.
Seeing that Ning Yue was distracted again, Jiang Ying was very unhappy. “Ning Yue! I’m talking to you. This is the second time you’ve been distracted. What are you thinking?”
“Ahem, I was really wondering what gift you would give me,” Ning Yue said in embarrassment.
“No, you’re definitely not thinking about the gift. What exactly are you thinking?” Jiang Ying asked.
Don’t think he couldn’t tell that Ning Yue wasn’t thinking about the gift.
“Alright, I’ll tell you. I was wondering what gift you would give me since you’re so poor. Although you’ve been doing business with me these days, the prince has taken all the money you earn to subsidize military supplies, right?”
“In addition, I’m also thinking that the emperor’s small treasury must be worth a lot of money. That’s decades of savings after all. Should we…” Ning Yue didn’t finish her sentence, but the smile on her face said it all.
Jiang Ying was delighted when he heard this. He had long wanted to do this, but he had never been able to implement it. After all, that was his uncle, the emperor. He could not bear to do it, but it was different now. He had been told by his soon-to-be wife that he was very poor.
He even recalled the scene when Uncle Emperor asked him for money in the past.
How could Uncle Emperor not have money? He was the emperor of a country.
Thinking about how much he had been tricked over the years, he had to think of a way to make up for it!
At this moment, Ah Da handed a letter to Jiang Ying.
Jiang Ying took the letter with a frown and opened it in front of Ning Yue.
“Is it really good for you to read letters in front of me? Aren’t you afraid that I’ll leak secrets?” Ning Yue said angrily. Jiang Ying was too bold.
