I made the villain right.

Due to the time constraints last time, Fan Hua had not yet prepared the betrothal gifts. Now that he has plenty of time, he has made a list of betrothal gifts. Once everything is ready, he will head to the General's Mansion immediately.

A huge procession passed through the busy streets, the scene was very spectacular, attracting many passers-by to watch.

Looking at the boxes carried by the carriages, everyone's eyes sparkled. This betrothal gift was in no way inferior to that of the royal family. It could be described as a ten-mile red dowry.

The onlookers were all curious about which young man was going to propose marriage. There have been quite a few happy events in Kyoto recently. Until the carriage stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, everyone was stunned.

Upon seeing this, the gatekeeper of the general's mansion hurried into the mansion to report.

When Woman A saw this, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't the eldest daughter of the general's mansion already betrothed to someone else? Why is there still someone coming to propose marriage?"

Woman B: "Yes, the general's daughter has always had a bad reputation. How come it has changed so much in just a few days? Everyone is crowding in to propose marriage to her."

Fan Hua got off the carriage with elegant manners, looking like a handsome young man, and his temperament was as clear and cool as the bright moon.

His handsome face suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and the onlookers on the street couldn't help but exclaim in amazement.

Suddenly, Woman C sighed and said, "I will definitely be rejected later. What a pity for this appearance."

Another servant at the door recognized Fan Hua and greeted him with a smile, "Sir, please come this way."

Upon hearing this, the onlookers gasped. They didn't expect that the young man in front of them would be Shi Jin's future husband.

For a moment, there was nothing but amazement and emotion.

So Fan Hua followed the servant in. Du Xuan, who came with Fan Hua, directed the servants to unload the gifts and then carry them into the mansion one by one.

Woman A pondered for a moment, and suddenly seemed to have figured it out, and couldn't help but say: "I finally understand why Miss Shi would give up the Second Prince for him, because the young man in front of him is not only rich and powerful, but also handsome. Who can resist the temptation with such a good appearance?"

Hearing this, women A and B looked around cautiously and whispered, "I think so too. This young master is even more handsome than the Second Prince."

Little did they know that all these words were heard by Xu Wuchen who was standing behind them. He had an angry look on his face, his fists were clenched, veins on his hands were bulging, and he was trying his best to suppress his anger.

He heard that there was a fire in the Prime Minister's Mansion yesterday, so he was worried and went to check it out this morning. When he saw the situation on the way, he stayed to take a look. Unexpectedly, this sight made him so angry that he half died.

He stared at the gossiping women with fierce eyes, and squeezed out a few words with difficulty: "They are all a bunch of low-class people. How can they discuss my appearance?"

He turned around and stared at the guard Dacheng beside him, and said with a sinister look: "Go and inform the governor of Kyoto to arrest these people who gathered around, and the crime is to insult the prince wantonly."

"Yes," Dacheng said respectfully, and then strode towards Kyoto Prefecture.

Xu Wuchen stared at the gate of the general's mansion fiercely, and his eyes gradually darkened.

One day he will make those who bullied him pay the price.

In a moment, he flicked his sleeves and left without looking back.

Shi Jin was having a great time chatting with Zhi Lu when he was told that Fan Hua had come to the mansion, so he hurried to the main hall.

There were many boxes placed in the main hall, leaving only a path wide enough for two people to pass through.

At this time, Shi Wei was entertaining Fan Hua, and he took out his treasured Yashan tea for Fan Hua to drink.

Shi Wei was in high spirits and felt extremely happy. All kinds of good things happened at the same time today. First, the old fox Qin Yixian's house caught fire, and then Fan Hua came to the house with a beautiful dowry, making their general's mansion look very glorious in front of outsiders.

Although he was not the kind of person who valued money and power, but seeing that Fan Hua sent such a generous betrothal gift, it could be seen that he was very fond of his own daughter.

Of course, the dowry given by the general's mansion will also be generous.

Shi Wei looked at Fan Hua and chatted: "What kind of tea does Ah Hua usually drink?"

Ah Hua! This intimate name made Fan Hua's mouth twitch.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he replied: "I usually drink Biluochun."

“I’ve tried Biluochun before, it tastes good.”

After Shi Wei finished speaking, he winked at the maid, who immediately understood and poured a cup of tea for Fan Hua.

After seeing Fan Hua taste a sip of tea, Shi Wei couldn't wait to ask, "How does this tea taste?"

Fan Hua savored the tea and said, "This tea is fragrant, sweet and mellow, it is a good tea."

Wei laughed heartily when he heard "Hahahaha".

As soon as Shi Jin stepped into the door, he heard Shi Wei's laughter and his face was a little confused. When he saw the room full of betrothal gifts, his eyes widened instantly and his face was full of disbelief.

Shi Jin's arrival instantly caught the attention of Shi Wei and Fan Hua.

Shi Jin glanced around and finally fixed his eyes on Shi Wei, wondering, "Why is Dad so happy?"

"I had a good chat with Ahua," Wei said with a smile on his face.

Shi Jin accidentally glanced at the red notebook on the table, so he picked it up and opened it.

The list of things in sight: 400 kilograms of gold, 10,000 ounces of silver, 1,000 rolls of silk, 20 pieces of jade, 4 jade ruyi handles…

Shi Jin looked at the betrothal gift list, stared at it in disbelief, and took a deep breath, unable to believe what he saw.

A Yu is a hidden rich man!

She moved to sit next to Fanhua and lowered her voice to confirm again and again: "Ayu, do you really want to give so much?"

Fan Hua looked at her and suddenly smiled, his eyebrows curved and his pupils seemed to be shining with stars.

This smile like a spring breeze makes people feel palpitations.

"Mianmian, these are nothing. I'm just afraid that I've wronged you," Fan Hua said calmly.

The Fumengxuan run by Fan Hua is spread all over the place, with daily revenue of tens of thousands of silver taels. In addition to the intelligence trading in the Secret City and the hidden business of Fengyun Pavilion, the wealth he possesses is far more than he imagined. It is no exaggeration to say that he is rich enough to rival a country.

Hearing this, Shi Jin paused for a moment, then her eyes dodged, and she stammered, "I'm not wronged... I'm not wronged, that's enough."

After the two of them chatted with Shi Wei for a few words, Shi Jin took Fan Hua to the study.

Shi Jin went to the bookshelf, as if looking for something, and Fan Hua was not idle either. He began to visit Shi Jin's study. When he saw a scroll on the table, he opened it curiously. When the scroll slowly opened to reveal the face of the person in the painting, Fan Hua was stunned.

The person in the painting is him.

In the blink of an eye, Fan Hua glanced at Shi Jin with an ambiguous look in his eyes.

At the same time, Shi Jin also took a box from the bookshelf and walked over here. Seeing this, Fan Hua quickly put the painting away, with a hint of panic between his brows. Later he realized that he felt confused.

Isn't it just seeing my own portrait? Is there any need to be so panicked?

Shi Jin walked to the coffee table and sat down. Seeing Fan Hua standing there stupidly, he waved at him and said, "Ayu, come here. I have something to tell you."

"Oh, okay," Fan Hua said a little stiffly.

After saying that, he strode to sit opposite Shi Jin, only to see Shi Jin take out a piece of paper from a wooden box and spread it out. When Fan Hua saw the marriage contract written on the paper, his eyes froze and he suddenly felt unhappy.

"Ah Yu, we will be married on the fifth day of next month. This is the contract I made. Please take a look at it and see if there is anything you want to add."

"Okay," Fan Hua said coldly.

He picked it up and took a look. It said on the paper that the contract marriage lasted for one year; after the marriage, both parties were free and would not interfere with each other's lives; during the contract period, Shi Jin could give advice to Fu Mengxuan and make good marketing strategies; if necessary, the two of them must cooperate with each other and play the role of husband and wife well...

The more Fan Hua read, the more upset he felt. So he didn't want to read it anymore. He picked up the brush on the table and wrote his name. As he wrote, he said, "I don't have anything to add. That's it."

There was a hint of displeasure in his tone, but Shi Jin didn't hear it.

Seeing Fan Hua being so straightforward, Shi Jin also signed her name and gently fanned it with her hand, hoping that the ink would dry quickly.

Everything was settled, and she could live in peace from now on until the finale, when she could go home.

The thought of going home brought a smile to her face.

Seeing Shi Jin's happy look, Fan Hua frowned and opened his mouth several times, but hesitated to speak. In the end, he chose to remain silent.

Finally, he left the general's mansion on the pretext of having something to do. Halfway through the journey, Fan Hua asked Du Xuan to stop the car. He was in a bad mood and planned to go out for a walk by himself.

Du Xuan saw Fan Hua coming out of the general's mansion with a bad look on his face, so when he saw Fan Hua getting off the car, he asked, "What happened just now?"

"It's okay, you go back home first. I plan to take a walk." Fan Hua glanced at Du Xuan and said lightly.

After saying that, he walked towards West Street. Du Xuan looked at Fan Hua's departing back with a confused look on his face.

He doesn't look like he's fine at all. Who has offended him again?

In an instant, Du Xuan drove the carriage away.

Before he knew it, Fan Hua had walked to a small street. He felt that his mood had become increasingly unstable in recent days. He didn't know why Shi Jin's actions always affected his mood.

At this time, a fortune teller on the street had just sent away a customer, and when he saw Fan Hua with a frown on his face, his eyes lit up.

A visitor is coming.

So he quickly stepped forward and called Fan Hua, "Sir, would you like to have your fortune told?"

"No need." Fan Hua looked up at him and refused bluntly.

He never believed in fate, otherwise how could he have lived to this day.

The fortune teller saw that Fan Hua refused so straightforwardly, with a hint of coldness between his brows, as if he was displeased, so he didn't dare to bother him any more and had to sit back in his seat.

When Fan Hua was halfway there, he suddenly turned back for some reason.

The fortune teller was sitting there bored when he suddenly felt a dark shadow pressing down on his head. He quickly looked up and saw Fan Hua staring at him. His heart skipped a beat. He felt guilty and thought Fan Hua had seen through his tricks. He stammered nervously, "What...what are you going to do?"

Unexpectedly, Fan Hua just asked in a low voice: "Can you explain it?"

The fortune teller heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this, then stood up with a smile, made a gesture for someone to sit down and said, "It's very easy to solve your doubts. Please sit down, sir. If you have any doubts, just tell me and I will answer them for you one by one."

Seeing that the fortune teller looked confident, Fan Hua sat down, took out thirty taels of silver and placed it in front of the fortune teller, and said generously: "If your answer is good, I will reward you handsomely."

When the fortune teller saw the silver, his eyes lit up, and he put the money into his brocade bag with a smile, saying, "That's for sure, sir, please tell me."

"I have been feeling moody recently because of someone. Her unintentional actions can affect my mood. Why do you think this is happening?"

The fortune teller pretended to be meaningful and asked after a moment: "Is that person a woman?"

"Yes," Fan Hua answered truthfully.

The fortune teller fell into deep thought after hearing this. After his many years of experience in cheating people, he knew that most people who came to ask questions hoped to hear a good result, so he had to say something good.

The next moment, the fortune teller pondered and said, "The young master is in such a state, most likely he has fallen in love with that woman."

Upon hearing this, Fan Hua raised his eyebrows and asked in confusion, "Why do you think so?"

"If she can influence your emotions, it means you care about her very much. If a man cares about a woman very much, it can only mean that you like her."

Fan Hua seemed half-believing and half-doubting what he said.

The fortune teller was unwilling to give up. In order to get a big reward from Fan Hua, he used all his tricks and continued to deceive: "If you want to confirm whether you like her, I have a few questions to help you determine your feelings."

"If you have any questions, please tell me quickly." Fan Hua was suddenly interested.

After saying that, Fan Hua threw another thirty taels of silver to the fortune teller. The fortune teller was so happy to see that Fan Hua was stupid and rich that he tried hard to suppress the upward curve of his mouth.

He cleared his throat and said seriously, "Sir, will you feel unhappy when you see her with other men?"

Hearing this, Fan Hua's mind popped up the image of Shi Jin and Li Mu Ci together, so he nodded, "Yes"

The fortune teller then asked the next question, "When you saw her injured, did you feel extremely anxious and sympathetic?"

After saying that, Fan Hua recalled the scene of Shi Jin being injured in Yunmeng Lake and being whipped in the palace a few days ago. He was really anxious at that time and worried about her safety.

“I feel everything you said.”

After hearing Fan Hua's answer, the fortune teller smiled and said seriously: "Sir, I can tell you for sure that you are in love with that girl."

Fan Hua felt a little dazed after hearing this. He took out fifty taels of silver and gave it to the fortune teller, then left the stall.

The fortune teller made a lot of money today and was very happy. He quickly packed up his stall and went home.

Fan Hua was thinking in a daze all the way, and in a daze he found that others had returned home. He went straight back to his bedroom and stayed indoors. This action scared Du Xuan.

Why do I feel like my mood is getting worse and worse after going out for a walk?

But he didn't dare go in and disturb them, so he could only wait outside.

After an unknown amount of time, Fan Hua walked out of the house and returned to his normal expression. Du Xu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

Fan Hua told Du Xuan: "Make me a pot of tea."

"Yes." Du Xuan immediately went down to do it after hearing that.

Fan Hua looked at the peach tree outside the yard, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth and reached the bottom of his eyes.

This time he faced his innermost thoughts, and he seemed to really fall in love with Shi Jin.
