Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

Chapter 216: Lord Chen's Defense Breaks

After the troublemaker couple ran away, the women's bank's business actually improved.

Early the next morning, a sick lady came to the Women's Bank, and Xue Zhenzhen went to receive her personally.

This woman was in poor health, but she still managed to come to the Women's Bank, followed by a convoy of cars that was so long that her tail could not be seen.

As soon as she saw Xue Zhenzhen, the woman grabbed Xue Zhenzhen's hand and said, "Sister Xue, I'm here to beg you."

Looking at the pale face of this woman, Xue Zhenzhen's eyes also turned red: "Sister Liu, why are you like this now?"

Liu Yuezhi raised a pale smile at the corner of his mouth: "If you work so hard, your body will naturally not be able to bear it."

"So what are you doing..."

Xue Zhenzhen asked as she looked at the convoy in front of the Women's Bank.

"It's all my dowry. I can see that it's going to fail. The child is still young. My mother-in-law has already found a second wife for my husband and is thinking of using my dowry as a betrothal gift."

"this····"

Xue Zhenzhen was a little speechless.

She knew that Liu Yuezhi's husband was not a very capable person, but his first wife was still alive, so it was too much for him to covet her dowry.

After being speechless, Xue Zhenzhen held Liu Yuezhi's hand.

"Then you can keep your dowry here. I promise that your dowry will be safe until your nephew and niece grow up, and..."

Xue Zhenzhen whispered in Liu Yuezhi's ear: "This women's bank was opened by several princesses and the queen. You don't have to worry about your husband's family."

After finishing speaking, Liu Yuezhi smiled with tears in her eyes.

"Then I'll leave my dowry to you."

With the arrival of Liu Yuezhi, the front of the Women's Bank suddenly became lively. It was no longer just female workers from the workshop who came to deposit money, but also many wealthy families who came to deposit money.

The rules of the women's bank also spread throughout the capital.

A bank that only accepts women.

The next morning, Xu Jinyu, who was drowsy again, heard someone impeaching her.

"I, Chen Anliang, the Langzhong Ling of the Jizhou Qingli Division of the Ministry of Revenue, impeached Princess Tai'an Xu Jinyu, Princess Wuyang's son Shujin, Princess Changle's son Shuxin... for opening a women's bank to collect money. This move made women disobey their fathers' orders and disrespect their husbands' orders. This is the source of family chaos. I ask Your Majesty to order the princesses to close the women's bank."

"Also, the female workers in the workshops, after receiving the silver, gathered together to drink and behaved wildly. Such behavior is really unlike decent women. I ask Your Majesty to strictly order the women not to work."

As soon as this minister finished speaking, the next minister stood up.

"Your Highness Wen Jiuyuan of the Dali Temple impeaches Princess Tai'an..."

"Your servant, Xie Dong, the Minister of Guanglu Temple, impeached Princess Changle..."

"minister·····"

·······

Xu Jinyu was still a little confused after being awakened. Princess Wuyang grabbed Xu Jinyu's arm in fear and said, "Tai'an, Tai'an, are we going to be suspended from office next?"

Xu Jinyu shook his head and finally came to his senses, then patted Princess Wuyang's arm comfortingly.

I sigh in my heart,

[Wuhu, the hornet's nest is in turmoil. ]

The official who was impeaching Xu Jinyu paused. What did Lord Xu mean by saying that these officials who were impeaching him were hornets, or...

At this time, Princess Changle stood up and said, "Your Majesty, my women's bank has absolutely not made money. The fees are very cheap. This bank is to give women a chance to survive."

"I have heard that many women from poor families have to endure illnesses. If they can endure, it is considered a good fortune, and if they can't endure, it is considered a bad fortune. These women work hard, and it is unreasonable to prevent them from dying from a cold."

"I don't know why this women's bank is an eyesore to this gentleman."

Chen Anliang, the doctor-in-chief of the Jizhou Qingli Division, clasped his fists and said to Emperor Xuan: "After these women earn money, they do not give it to their husbands, but save it instead. This is..."

Before Chen Anliang could finish, Xu Jinyu interrupted.

"Have you given your salary to your wife?"

Chen Anliang was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Xu Jinyu meant by this question, but he still replied: "No, I am the head of the family, so I will naturally make the decision on the money."

"So you can spend your wife's dowry, but you can't give your wife a penny of your money."

This statement clearly stated that Chen Anliang was a gigolo. How could Chen Anliang tolerate this?

His face flushed red: "Nonsense!"

Xu Jinyu patted Princess Wuyang and pointed at the official's boots.

Princess Wuyang understood what he meant: "Master Chen, if I am not mistaken, the boots on your feet are made of brocade. The brocade recipe has only been sold for a short time in Tianji Pavilion, and Master Chen is wearing them. I guess it must have cost a lot. I wonder if Master Chen's salary is enough for it?"

Boots made of brocade!

It's quite luxurious.

Everyone looked at the ground under Chen Anliang's feet. The black and gold colors under his official robe were shining brightly under the candlelight. It was obvious that it was a good thing.

[Oh my god! A pair of boots costs 160 taels of silver, so expensive! ]

Very good! Everyone is sure that it is definitely not worthy of Mr. Chen's salary.

"That is...that is..."

Chen Anliang tried desperately to find excuses for himself.

"Is that corruption?"

Wuyang opened a pair of innocent big eyes.

[There was no corruption, but the defense was broken. He just broke the defense. 】

[No wonder they came to impeach me. His family claims to be a farming and reading family, but in fact, the family's largest asset is a few dozen acres of land. The whole family worked hard to support an official. Even if he is an official now, his family's financial situation has not improved much.]

[Because he was supported by a large family, of course he had to enjoy himself. His family still depended on his wife for support. His wife deposited half of her dowry into a women's bank. She had no choice but to save. If she continued to spend like this, she would have no money left when her children came of age.]

[The family cut back on spending, so they couldn’t afford good food, and they didn’t have money to go to brothels, so he was defeated! ]
