Shen Guiyi didn't say whether she believed it or not, she just asked, "So, when the prince went out today, what did he do to the Lin family?"

Otherwise, why would he say that there would be a good show tonight?

It is still related to the Lin family.

Seeing that she did not ask any further questions, He Qingchen's heart finally settled down.

He glanced at Shen Guidi, then happily took her hand and said, "Come here, I'll show you some good things."

Shen Guidi didn't ask any more questions and let him lead her into the house.

Perhaps remembering that she had just walked too fast and staggered and almost fell, He Qingchen subconsciously slowed down her pace and walked steadily step by step.

In the room.

He Qingchen pulled Shen Guidi to sit on the chaise longue by the window. Seeing that the clothes she was wearing seemed a little thin, he quickly took a robe and put it on her, then walked straight to a cabinet beside the bed.

Shen Guidi followed his gaze.

On the cabinet, there were two small boxes of different colors.

That was just obtained from Lin Huaian and Qi Heng.

When He Qingchen took the box back to her room, he found that she was still asleep, so he threw it on the cabinet.

At this moment.

He placed both boxes on the small table on the couch, then slowly sat down opposite Shen Guidi. His big, bony hands casually rested on the boxes, and with a light push, he pushed the two boxes in front of Shen Guidi.

Shen Guidi was stunned for a moment: "My Lord, what is this?"

"It's a good thing, open it and take a look."

He Qingchen's tone was light, and seemed to carry a hint of urging and pride.

He stared at her closely, his deep eyes sparkling, as if layers of fireworks were slowly spreading out in his eyes, with a very moving brilliance.

Shen Guidi lowered his eyes and pretended not to see it.

She reached out, picked up one of the brown boxes and opened it.

Two thicker sheets of special parchment fell out of the box and landed on the table. She lowered her head and glanced at them. She didn't rush to take them, but instead flipped through the contents of the box.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, but quickly disappeared.

He Qingchen wasn't looking at her at the moment, so he didn't notice the slight change in her expression.

Shen Guidi looked at He Qingchen thoughtfully, and then thought of the Lin family he had just mentioned. She frowned slightly and felt more and more puzzled.

The box was filled to the brim with banknotes.

The bills varied in denomination, from ten thousand taels to one hundred taels. She grabbed a few and counted them, estimated a number, and opened her mouth slightly in surprise. She wanted to ask something, but felt there was no need.

But the sheer size of the amount still shocked her.

only……

Why did He Qingchen give these things to her?

Looking at his look of seeking credit, he was just like a cunning fox wagging its tail and seeking praise. Could it be that he got all these banknotes from Lin Huaian?

When did Lin Huaian become so generous?

Or was it that He Qingchen was using the matter of her marrying in place of him to threaten Lin Huaian?

He Qingchen felt uncomfortable when he saw her holding the banknotes but not asking anything.

He didn't rush.

But he moved closer calmly, reached out to take the two pieces of parchment, and then intentionally or unintentionally smoothed the curled corners around the parchment, glancing at Shen Guidi from time to time.

Shen Guidi paused, put down the banknotes, and looked at He Qingchen.

After seeing the two pieces of paper in his hand clearly, Shen Guidi's expression changed slightly, and a vicious look flashed across his eyes, but he immediately returned to normal.

This time, He Qingchen saw the change that happened in an instant.

He narrowed his eyes and stared straight at Shen Guidi.

Shen Guiyi moved uncomfortably, and quickly pointed at the thing in his hand and asked, "Prince, what is that in your hand?"

He Qingchen lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and said, "Nothing, just the deeds of Rong'an Building and Guyue Pavilion on Changrong Street. The banknote and these two deeds were both taken from Lin Huaian by me just now."

Shen Guidi: "...Take it?"

What's he kidding?

Are Rong'an Tower and Guyue Pavilion something that Lin Huaian will "give" to him just by saying "want"?

These two are the lifeblood of the Lin family and even Lin Huaian.

Will he give it up easily?

"Well, the Lin family asked you to marry in place of them, but they withheld all your dowry. I thought about asking them to make up for it, but it's too troublesome to carry the dowry back and forth. If the people see it, they will laugh at it. The most important thing is that those things are what the Lin and Qi families prepared for Lin Qingran, and they may not be the styles you like. Therefore, I asked Lin Huaian to convert all the things on the dowry list into cash for you."

Shen Guidi's eyes suddenly lit up.

"All of them... are for me?"

She asked with her eyes wide open in excitement and surprise, and some incoherent words flowed out from her trembling lips.

He Qingchen realized belatedly that there were two small canine teeth on both sides of her mouth.

Those teeth, appearing and disappearing as she smiled, neutralized her coldness and made her look a little cuter.

He Qingchen couldn't help it, he stretched his neck across the tables and leaned over to kiss her.

The whirlpool of ambiguity seemed to swallow Shen Guidi up. She suddenly woke up, stiffened her body, and stepped back: "Prince?"

He Qingchen's expression froze slightly.

He coughed lightly, his eyes wandering, and he made up an excuse incoherently: "Well, there is something on your face. This king, this king wants to..."

"where?"

Shen Guidi reached out his hand and touched his face, not knowing what was going on. Then he looked in front of his eyes and found that his palm was clean and empty.

She looked at He Qingchen in confusion.

He Qingchen turned his eyes away, avoiding her sight, and said stutteringly: "Well, let's get back to this. These banknotes were cashed out from your dowry, so naturally they are all yours."

Shen Guidi said "Oh" in confusion.

There was silence in the room.

A moment.

Shen Guiyi pointed at the two pieces of paper in his hand, trying to suppress the irritation in her heart, and asked in a calm voice: "Then, what about the two pieces of paper in your hand? What are they?"

He Qingchen looked at Shen Guidi quietly, and then pretended not to notice anything and handed her two pieces of paper: "Oh, this, this is the deed of Rong'an Building and Guyue Pavilion on Changrong Street, and it's also for you."

Shen Guidi's expression changed and he could hardly maintain his composure.

Her throat rolled and she slowly reached out to take it.

However, when she stretched out her hand, He Qingchen deliberately rubbed her palm with his fingers, causing Shen Guidi's heart to tremble.

She quickly retracted her hand and hid it under the table, while her other hand silently pressed down the trembling hand. Her face turned pale and the anger in her heart almost burst out.

This series of actions all fell into He Qingchen's eyes.

He placed the hand that had been hooked across her palm under the table and gently rubbed the wetness on her fingers, his expression gloomy.

Why is Ah Yi so nervous about these two pieces of paper?

Even, cold sweat on my hands?
