Transmigrating into a female supporting role in a book

Hearing this, he was actually amused, "Are you jealous?"

"Not really. You work so hard to support other people's wives and children, why would I be jealous of something like this?" I said half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Unless one day you really want to hug people left and right and keep thinking about the pot while eating in the bowl, then there will be nothing to talk about between us."

"You are enough for me. I won't cause trouble for myself." He said as he added food and soup to his bowl.

"Are you finding me troublesome now?" I was deliberately looking for trouble.

He picked up a piece of food and put it into my mouth. "A person has only one heart, which can only hold one person. If you are here, others can't come in. It may be a little troublesome, but as long as I can be with you, I am willing to endure the pain and happiness."

This person could actually say sweet words seriously, and my little heart started beating uncontrollably.

Because of his interruption, I ate a little more with him even though I was already full without realizing it, and I was really feeling bloated.

After dinner, while it was still early, we went for a walk in the garden to digest the food.

Because my legs were still sore, he could only match my pace, taking smaller steps and slowing down the frequency.

He held my hand, and the slightly rough palm lines and thick calluses made me unable to help but open his palm and rub it back and forth to feel it.

Although he has explained part of his past, the brief sentences cannot let me fully understand. To me, he still has many secrets, but I am not in a hurry to explore them now. We still have a lot of time in the future, but he now has a new and fixed identity, and I seem to have become an illegal resident.

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but ask, "Since Shen Xingye is dead, will the dowry be returned to the Shen family?"

"According to the rules, it should be... like this." He was slightly stunned, and even began to seriously think about the laws and regulations to verify his answer.

I sighed. Although the Zhenbei Palace is indeed wealthy and powerful and would not covet my dowry, Situ Jue now refuses to admit that I am dead and is making a big fuss about finding me. So the dowry will definitely not be returned to the Shen family on its own initiative.

Moreover, my cheap father is a face-conscious person and will not ask for it. But even if it is returned to the Shen family, it will end up in the hands of Aunt Qiu, which is a bargain for her. Forget it, let it be. I am a dead man and I should not worry about so many things now.

"Didn't you say before that you would arrange a new identity for me so that I could leave the capital with you?"

"It's already being done. Don't worry. I'm more anxious than you."

Seeing his expression, I laughed out loud, "I'm not rushing you, and I'm not in a hurry. During this period of time, we don't have to face the person who gives us a headache. It's time to plan for the future, our future!"

He seemed to be deeply touched by the last words I said about our future, and he immediately put his arms around my waist and picked me up.

I was lifted up by him, my feet off the ground, I couldn't help but scream, and subconsciously held onto his shoulders. This huge difference in strength inexplicably made my heart beat faster.

"Put me down! Don't do this!" I complained in a low voice. Although I knew there was no one else around, my face was still burning.

"Are your legs still sore?" Not only did he not let go, but he used one hand to hug my legs, making me even more embarrassed.

Don’t just take advantage of your size and treat me like a child!

Seeing my embarrassed look, he smiled even more, and just like that, he held me in his arms and strode back into the house.

After he put me down, he took out a wooden box from somewhere and handed it to me, "Open it and take a look. These are all for you."

I took it, opened it, and saw a dozen silver bills inside. On top of the silver bills was a copper token, engraved with the gold-plated seal of the largest bank in the capital.

When I picked up the token, I found a number on the back. Could it be the bank's VIP membership card?

"As long as you have the token, you can go to Tongsheng Money House to withdraw money at any time. I haven't calculated how much silver I have deposited in them over the years. It should be less than one million taels, but almost there." He explained to me.

I put the token back and moved my fingers through the stack of banknotes. Under the banknotes I saw some slightly yellowed land deeds. There should be several of them, but I didn't have time to take a closer look.

"These are my dowry for you. This is all the spare money I have at the moment. The deeds below include a house in the capital and a manor in the suburbs of Beijing, which are also worth some money. When the situation stabilizes, I will buy you some other things..."

Based on the purchasing power of prices in this dynasty, these silver notes alone are almost equivalent to several million in modern times. Are they just the spare money he mentioned?

Adding the bank deposits and the land deeds, my calculation ability is a little insufficient. It turns out that this guy is a hidden rich man! But it makes sense. The Royal Dragon Guards work for the emperor, so they must have a lot of money.

Even if he retires now, these assets would be enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for several lifetimes.

He seemed to be explaining to me on purpose, "This is not other people's money, it's all earned by me. I will leave all of Hao'er's father's share to him, not a penny less."

I expressed my understanding, but still returned the box.

He was a little anxious, "Why? Do you regret it?"

"No, it's just that you're giving me all this right now. Isn't it a bit too hasty?"

"It's a bit rushed, don't complain about the small amount, just keep these things first, I've already prepared the rest..."

"No, no, you misunderstood me. I'm not complaining about the small amount!" I bit my lower lip and organized my words in my mind before continuing, "What I need urgently now is not these material possessions, but a new identity that allows me to stand beside you with dignity. Instead of giving me so much money, why don't you teach me some martial arts and disguise techniques, so that I can have more means to protect myself, so that I won't hold you back if anything happens in the future."

"It will be very hard to learn those things. Do you really want to learn them?" He picked me up and sat where I had been sitting before, letting me sit in his arms. "No matter what happens in the future, I will protect you well and will not let you encounter dangers like today again."

"I know you are very good at Kung Fu, and I don't doubt your intentions, but it is better to rely on yourself than on others. I want to learn a skill, which is worse than knowing nothing. The worst case scenario is that I will waste a lot of time and fail to learn it, but it can also strengthen my body, don't you think?"

His arm was around my waist, and he seemed to be thinking about something. "It's really time for you to strengthen your body. I'm the one moving, but you're feeling sore here and there, and you keep saying you can't take it anymore, you don't want to do that..." I raised my hand to cover his mouth to stop him from continuing. He was so embarrassed.

That night I was sweating like a pig and I was completely exhausted. I was weakly held in his arms and asked him, "When are you going to start teaching me?"

"My hands are too heavy, I'm afraid I can't teach you well, let me find a master for you."
