It was too late

Xiao Yuanshi's expression darkened as he watched the second prince leave with a flick of his sleeves.

He folded the paper that the second prince had not taken with him and returned to the general's residence.

He even went straight to Ge Chunru's courtyard.

Ge Chunru was looking at the account book. 

Recently, because she had moved most of the money out to subsidize her younger brother and sister, the assets in the general's residence had shrunk quite a bit.

The money on the account book was not even enough to cover the monthly allowance of the servants.

However, she did not want to use the little personal allowance that she had, and she did not dare to ask Xiao Yuanshi for more.

Last month, she had only given out half of their monthly allowance. 

If she were to give out another half this month, she was afraid that the servants in the general's residence would gossip in private.

Because of this, she was a little troubled.
