Chapter 284: 284

There were three banknotes worth a hundred taels, two silver ingots worth ten taels, and five taels of silver.

As he took out more money, the eight of them gasped louder. They had never seen so much money.

Shopkeeper Hu had only just calmed down after being excited all the way. Seeing them like this, he did not laugh. Instead, he said, “What we said previously was that I’ll take half of it, and the eight of you will split the rest equally.

However, after some thought, I realized that this money wouldn’t have reached me without your cooperation.

“I’ll take a hundred taels. You can split the rest among yourselves.”

After all, he still had to be in charge of those people’s food and drinks.

Although it wasn’t as much as they had discussed, he held it firmly.

“Old Hu, you’re so straightforward.” The others naturally agreed.

Some people who regretted their choice after seeing so much money felt better.

Shopkeeper Hu had to deal with those people, but they did not have to do anything and earned dozens of taels of silver for nothing.

They were the ones who benefited.

The few of them flattered Shopkeeper Hu again before happily distributing the silver.

Soon, a waiter brought in a few plates of steamed potatoes. The few of them began to eat and chat.

“Young Master Shenzhi is indeed smart. The people from the capital are indeed rich.” Someone couldn’t help but sigh.

Shopkeeper Hu laughed. “That’s right. Back then, I was curious why he asked me not to repair it first. It turned out that he was waiting for these people to come.”

Normally, the shopkeepers might not have been able to earn so much money in a year. Young Master Shenzhi was indeed cunning.

While they were discussing fervently, another group of people was also discussing this matter.

“Haha, Cousin, this move of yours is really mean.” Although he had only heard the story from Yan Tai and did not see it with his own eyes, it was enough for Shangguan Han to gloat in joy.

After dinner yesterday, Shangguan Han moved to the Shen residence and would be staying here for the time being. He was more than happy to do so.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yijia slapped her forehead. “What nonsense are you talking about? My husband is smart.”

Shangguan Han thought to himself, “I feel that ever since I gave her the glazed cup, Sister-in-law has become more and more fond of being rough with me. I wonder if it’s too late for me to take it back now?”

The most terrifying thing was that after beating him up, his sister-in-law still looked at him as if she understood him. What did she know?

Song Jingchen suppressed his laughter as he watched from the side. He took out a box from his sleeve and placed it in front of Shangguan Han.

It was the box containing the writing brush that he had taken from Shangguan Han.

Shangguan Han flinched. He still remembered how terrifying his cousin had looked back then.

He pushed the box towards Song Jingchen and hurriedly waved his hand. “I don’t want it. Didn’t I say I’d give it to you?”

Song Jingchen was silent. He wondered if he had been too fierce to this kid recently, causing him to be so afraid.

Song Jingchen coughed dryly. “I’m returning it back to its rightful owner.”

Shen Yijia was also curious. Could it be that there was no problem with that brush now?

Shangguan Han wanted to refuse again.

South Wind walked in and bowed to Shangguan Han before walking up to Song Jingchen. “Master.”

Then, he looked like he wanted to say something.

Song Jingchen frowned and glanced at him. He stood up and said in a low voice, “Follow me to the study.”

He took a few steps and thought of something. He turned around and glanced at Shen Yijia. She smiled at him and waved her hand. “Go ahead. I’ll be good and not run around.”

Song Jingchen looked at her strangely before leaving with South Wind.

As soon as they entered the study, without waiting for Song Jingchen to ask, South Wind couldn’t help but say, “Master, the emperor of the Wu Kingdom is critically ill. The Wu Kingdom might be in chaos soon.”

In the reception pavilion, Shen Yijia and Shangguan Han stared at each other for a while. Shen Yijia looked at the box and suddenly asked, “Aren’t you going to open it?”

Shangguan Han thought, “I don’t know why, but I feel that everything my sister-in-law says can be a trap.”

“No, that won’t be necessary. I’ve changed my habit of biting a pen now.”

Shen Yijia raised her eyebrows. So soon? She wanted to get Mo Yuan to concoct some poison for him next time.

Shangguan Han felt an inexplicable chill down his spine. He suddenly stood up. “Sister-in-law, I still have something on. I’ll leave first.”

With that, he walked out. Yan Tai quickly followed him with the box.

“Did I say something wrong?” Shen Yijia thought.

Anyway, it was better for him to leave.

“Mo Yuan, let’s go and play with the adults from the capital.” Shen Yijia looked at Mo Yuan with sparkling eyes.

In order not to cause trouble for her beautiful husband, Shen Yijia specially returned to her room and changed into a man’s outfit. She also asked Mo Yuan to cover the flower bud on her forehead.

Mo Yuan was also dressed as a man.

By the time they left the house, the snow had gradually stopped.

The two of them were about to walk out of the residence when a figure suddenly jumped out from the side. “Sister-in-law, where are you going? Bring me along.”

Shen Yijia knew who it was without looking.

She squeezed her fingers. “I want to hit someone!” she thought.

At Fortune Inn.

Eunuch Li took a comfortable hot bath and leaned against the soft couch, sighing.

During this period of traveling, he had almost lost half his life. Only at this moment did he feel that he had come back to life.

The young eunuch walked over tactfully and knelt in front of the soft bed to massage his shoulders and legs.

He had completely forgotten Eunuch Li’s lesson. She could not help but complain again, “This Second Prince is really something. Why did he fall sick the day before we set off?

Coincidentally, the Eldest Prince had received an errand and was not in the capital. Otherwise, there would not have been a need for him to make such a difficult trip.

“The environment in Xunyang City is too poor.”

The Third Prince and Fourth Prince were not suited for the job, and the others were too young. They could only send two qualified people.

Eunuch Li opened his eyes and glanced at him. He said coldly, “Why? Do you think our family is more precious than the imperial grandson, or do you think it’s unfair for you to come with us?”

Qi Shou’s face turned pale. He cursed himself for not knowing what to do once he left the palace. He hurriedly slapped himself twice and explained, “I didn’t mean that. I just feel a little sorry for you, Godfather. You’re already so old, but you still have to travel a long way to suffer here.”

“Do you think I’m old?” Eunuch Li said angrily. He really regretted acknowledging this kid as his godson just because he pitied him.

He still had to worry about being implicated by his lousy mouth.

If not for the fact that he had no ill intentions and was loyal to him, Eunuch Li would definitely not have kept him by his side.

Qi Shou choked and said with a sullen expression, “Godfather, why don’t you sew my mouth shut?”

“Alright, there’s no need to go through so much trouble. When we return to the palace, I’ll get someone to poison you with a bowl of mute medicine.” Eunuch Li pondered for a moment. This was a good idea.

Qi Shou was just exaggerating. How could he really want to be a mute? He wanted to beg for mercy with a long face.

Eunuch Li waved his hand and pushed him away. “Alright, go and see how Lord Zhou is doing. No matter what, we’re on the same side. It’s better if nothing bad happens to him.”

Otherwise, Emperor Chong’an would not forgive him.
