Over the years, Qian Kangtai has managed to save up some money.
Of course, relying on the imperial stipend was definitely not enough. But as the head of Dali Temple, Qian Kangtai could make a fortune from any case he handled. As long as he lifted a finger or showed leniency, the involved parties would naturally stuff him with stacks of silver notes.
He was not very bold and did not dare to take too much. He only took some money that was guaranteed to be safe.
Therefore, over the years, most of the other officials who served as temple administrators with him had become fat and wealthy, but Qian Kangtai hadn't saved much money. However, that amount was enough for him to buy some farmland after returning home and become a retired magistrate.
Though power is no longer in my grasp, it's better than facing the possibility of my entire family being wiped out at any moment.
Qian Kangtai is nothing but a small character, at most just a drop of water in this turbulent sea. Though he does have some representativeness, no one cares about his thoughts.
Perhaps at this time, withdrawing bravely could be an absolutely clear and wise choice when looking back.
At this time, within Liu's mansion, Liu Sichun led all the members of the Liu family, kneeling in the courtyard.
The Liu clan expresses their gratitude to the Crown Princess.
"You're welcome."
Su Jinping remained seated under the eaves of the main hall, not entering. After she had had the Liu family members rise, she dismissed them, leaving only Liu Sicun.
"The current situation in the capital is chaotic, and your management of national debt is paramount. Troubles similar to today's may not be over, so you bear a heavy burden."
Hearing Su Jinpa's words, Liu Sichun answered submissively, "Even if this woman dies, she dares not betray Your Highness's trust."
With your words, this palace is at ease.
Su Jinpa felt a little lackluster. She got up and said, “If there’s an urgent matter, just have someone report to the East Palace. This palace will take charge, but remember, do not act impulsively, nor should you proactively leave yourself vulnerable to others.”
Liu Sichun immediately agreed.
Seeing that Su Jinping was about to leave, Liu Sichun suddenly spoke, "Crown Princess."
Su Jinpa paused, looking at Liu Sichun, waiting for her to speak.
“Although Yue's words at the border seem reasonable, they are mostly just his own wild guesses. The situation may not be as dire as he claims. Your Highness being able to leave the capital suggests that you had foreseen these events and must have made arrangements beforehand. Besides, who dares say that anything happening in the capital could escape your watchful eye”
"The woman is of no talent or virtue. She only knows to follow your commands, Your Highness, and think of nothing else. As long as you return, it will surely be a time when the clouds part and the sun shines."
Su Jinpa was a little surprised, then smiled and nodded. "Now I understand why so many merchants are smitten with you, Your Highness."
"I dare not speak of love."
Liu Sichun curtsied deeply and said earnestly, "This humble servant is merely a somewhat useful pawn in your Highness's hand."
Su Jinpa knew Liu Sichun was keeping her distance and also understood her worries. He said calmly, "Your Highness is the Crown Prince, the heir apparent, and will ascend the throne in the future. Every emperor's harem has three thousand beauties. If you are sensible enough, this palace wouldn't mind seeing you in the harem."
Having said that, Su Jinpa quietly slipped away.
No one knows what she's thinking.
And behind him, Liu Sichun looked up at Su Jinpa's figure, biting her lip slightly.
At this moment, she suddenly made a decision.
Under no circumstances enter the harem! looked at Qian Shiyuan with admiration.If that were the case before, it wouldn't be a problem.Now, even the cabinet has been suppressed by the East Palace. A grand rebellion, with all its fanfare, ch...
