Chapter 103: Is she a devil?

Xingnong glanced at him, reached out to take the jade pendant back, then stuffed both jade pendants into her pouch and put it away. She said nonchalantly, “I picked it up, what’s wrong?”

Picked it up?

He believed she was a fox spirit!

Shen Hanyu thought about Shen Dong’s findings about her family situation: her mother was drowned in a pig cage and went insane, she was called a bastard since childhood, she didn’t have enough to eat, and her family was driven out of the village by their clan. He had felt uncomfortable and a little angry when he heard about these things before, but now he felt both heartache and anger. For a moment, he didn’t dare to say anything. He would have to go back and ask about the whole story. He said, “This kind of knotting is only done in Jin Kingdom. Where did Xingnong Meimei pick it up?”

Xingnong remembered Shen Ruoxi saying it seemed to be a gift from someone. Who gave it to her? She glanced at Shen Hanyu and thought of a possibility. She said calmly, “I don’t know. Someone bought something but didn’t have silver to pay, so they gave me the jade pendant he picked up as silver. Who knows where he picked it up. I’m going to the capital tomorrow, and I have something to do at home, so I’ll leave first!”

Xingnong turned and left.

Shen Hanyu: “…”

He believed her, my foot!

With her having a pair of the most beautiful fox eyes in the world, unique to their family, there was no escaping!

Little fox spirit, little heartless one!

He had practically given her the entire restaurant, and she was still guarding against him!

But, this injustice had a source, she couldn’t blame him, could she?

She wouldn’t refuse to acknowledge him, would she?

Shen Hanyu frowned and rested his chin on his hand: Right, she said she was going to the capital.

The bank token he gave her last time only had one thousand taels in it, wouldn’t that be enough?

“Shen Dong! Shen Nan!”

The two appeared simultaneously: “Here.”

“Shen Nan, take my token and deposit one hundred thousand taels of silver, no, one hundred thousand taels of gold into Xingnong Guniang’s account.”

Shen Dong: “!!!!”

What kind of sorcery did that girl cast on Gongzi again?

The first time she came, she took away fifty percent of the restaurant’s profits!

The second time she came, she took away sixty percent of the restaurant’s profits!

This time, Gongzi directly gave her one hundred thousand taels of gold!

One hundred thousand taels of gold, that was one million taels of silver.

One million taels of silver piled together was a mountain of silver!

Gongzi directly gave her a mountain of silver!

What would he give her next time she came?

A mountain of gold?

“Yes!” Shen Nan’s expression remained unchanged, he didn’t show any doubt and agreed, then turned around to deposit the silver.

Shen Hanyu thought of something and called out to him again: “Wait!”

Shen Nan stopped and turned around, waiting for instructions.

“Xingnong Guniang is going to the capital, give her the keys and deeds to the houses in every city along the way, choose the best and biggest one! So she won’t be uncomfortable.”

Yes, that little fox had suffered too much, he would make it up to her from now on.

So she wouldn’t be ignorant of the world and be deceived by someone’s sweet talk and flowery words.

Shen Dong: “…”

Was she a devil?

Why didn’t Gongzi just give himself to her?

Shen Nan: “Yes!”

Shen Hanyu thought for a moment and said, “Shen Nan, you escort Xingnong Guniang to the capital tomorrow, don’t let anyone bully her.”

Shen Nan’s eyes instantly lit up, his expressionless face seemed to have a hint of joy, “Yes!”

Shen Dong: “…”

It was over, he started giving people away!

Shen Hanyu waved his hand: “Go!”

“Yes!” Shen Nan couldn’t wait and jumped directly from the window onto the street.

People on the street: “…”

After Shen Nan jumped down, he remembered that Xingnong didn’t have a carriage at home, how would she go to the capital? So he ran back and drove away Shen Hanyu’s exclusive carriage.

Shen Hanyu looked at Shen Dong: “Pack your bags, we’re going back to Jin Kingdom.”

Shen Dong: “…”

What were they going back for?

He wouldn’t be thinking of giving away Jin Kingdom too, would he?

Bah, what nonsense!

Jin Kingdom wasn’t Gongzi’s.

The emperor was still there, and the crown prince wasn’t him.

He couldn’t give it away even if he wanted to.

He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, luckily Jin Kingdom wasn’t Gongzi’s!

He only now realized that Gongzi was so easily bewitched by women, he really had the hidden nature of a foolish ruler who loved beauty more than his kingdom!

After Shen Dong finished packing, he was about to go get the carriage, but found that Shen Nan had driven away the carriage that Shen Hanyu had spent a lot of money to build.

That fool!

Was he crazy?

He apologized to Shen Hanyu: “Gongzi, Shen Nan drove away your carriage. Please punish this subordinate for failing to teach his younger brother.”

✿✿✿

Shen Hanyu nodded: “Shen Nan did well.”

His carriage was the most luxurious and comfortable in the world.

How could that guy surnamed Chu’s carriage be better? It could barely compare, his black lacquered wood was worth a fortune.

Shen Dong: “…”

After Xingnong left the restaurant, she went to a clothing store and bought a few sets of clothes, all men’s clothing, and a set of nightclothes.

Then she went to Qian Family Bank to withdraw money. The dividends from the storybook totaled more than five hundred taels, which was more than she expected. The shopkeeper said that it was only the income from Futai County’s bookstore, and the other cities hadn’t been counted yet. It was not bad.

She withdrew two hundred taels of silver and five hundred taels in silver notes. One hundred taels of silver was left for household expenses, and the five hundred taels in silver notes were for the village chief to buy land and hire people to build two small workshops. She had already chosen the land and told the village chief to buy it directly.

As soon as Xingnong walked out of the bank, she saw Shen Nan driving a very flashy carriage towards her: “Xingnong Guniang, Gongzi asked me to escort you to the capital.”

Besides a layer of thin gauze, the carriage’s curtains even had a layer of pearl curtains?

Could it be that the inside was inlaid with gold?

Xingnong glanced at the extravagant carriage and shook her head: “No need, I’m not going to the capital alone.”

Shen Nan took out a stack of deeds: “These are the deeds to houses in all the major cities along the way to the capital. Gongzi said to give them to Xingnong Guniang for your convenience. I’ll take you to see the houses when we get there.”

Xingnong: “…”

She took the stack of deeds and got into the carriage.

Don’t go against anything, just don’t go against silver.

Besides, it was faster to travel by carriage, she still had a lot to do when she got back.

Great, the inside of the carriage was indeed made of gold.

Xingnong went up the mountain first, then returned home.

It was just noon, and the villagers were returning home from the fields for lunch. They were all dumbfounded when they saw Xingnong get out of the flashy carriage: Wasn’t she afraid of it being stolen?

But, who was the remarkable person Xingnong Yatou had met this time?

Everyone came forward to inquire: “Xingnong, whose carriage is this?”

Xingnong: “The restaurant owner’s.”

Matchmaker Zhang nodded: “The restaurant owner? Not bad, not bad!”

The restaurant owner and the shiye, in comparison, the restaurant owner seemed richer, at least she wouldn’t have to worry about food in the future!

The shiye’s salary was still too low.

The other women also nodded: “Indeed not bad! Not bad!”

Everyone nodded and chanted “not bad, not bad” as they went home.

There was no room for Shen Nan to stay at home, so Xingnong asked him to go back.

Shen Nan: “I can spend the night in the carriage.”

He hadn’t even eaten yet!

Xingnong let him be.

Then Shen Nan finally got to eat Xingnong’s cooking!

It’s just that there wasn’t enough food.

So after dinner, Shen Nan went up the mountain to hunt.

Xingnong went to discuss the workshop matter with the village chief.

The next day, when Songbai drove the carriage to pick up Xingnong, he was stunned to see Shen Nan driving a fancy carriage out of the courtyard: No way?

He had already entered the house and spent the night?
