A-Yue knocked on the door, interrupting the couple's chat.

Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan exchanged a glance and asked, "Do you know who it is?"

Ah Yue shook her head: "I don't know, but that man said he knew the master's identity!"

After saying this, both of them fell silent.

Zhu Yuan frowned. Since arriving here, he had not revealed any of his identity.

Even in his daily behavior, he showed a different side of himself.

How did this person find him?

A short while later, A-Yue welcomed the person inside.

Zhen Wanwan was somewhat surprised to see the man in front of her.

Coincidentally, she felt that she had seen this person before.

To be precise, the man resembled their enemy. With just one glance, Zhen Wanwan was 100% certain that this man was related to the person who had attracted the bear to attack them yesterday.

Yu Xin was completely unaware of the feud between Zhen Wanwan and his elder brother, and was still thinking about how to maximize his own interests.

"This humble citizen, Yu Xin, greets Your Highness Prince Anqing and Your Highness's Consort. I have come here today on behalf of your younger sister to apologize to Your Highness."

Zhen Wanwan was confused by his address of "Princess".

Zhu Yuan, on the other hand, did not react at all. He glanced at Yu Xin and said, "Since you were able to find out these things, you should know that I am not some Prince Anqing."

Yu Xin smiled awkwardly when Zhu Yuan directly exposed his little secret.

"Yes, I misspoke. I have met you before, Strategist. I have long admired your esteemed reputation, and it is an honor to meet you today..."

"You didn't come here to spout this nonsense, did you?"

Zhu Yuan was somewhat annoyed. He had finally managed to meet with his wife, only to be disturbed by unrelated people.

Upon hearing this, Yu Xin touched his nose, realizing that Zhu Yuan wasn't the kind of person who liked to hear hypocritical words.

Well then, this suits his mind perfectly.

"My lord, I have come here because I truly wish to apologize to you and your wife on behalf of your younger sister."

Yu Xin looked sincerely in the direction of Zhen Wanwan and Zhu Yuan, and it didn't seem like he was faking it.

Zhen Wanwan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned her gaze to Zhu Yuan.

Her husband is good-looking; could it be that Yu Xin's sister has taken a liking to him?

Then Zhu Yuan's love for her was unwavering until death, and he rejected her. So she secretly drugged him or plotted against him or something?

The more Zhen Wanwan thought about the plot, the more outrageous it seemed, and the more she thought about it, the angrier she became.

"Husband, what did you do to someone else's sister?"

Zhu Yuan was taken aback and looked at Zhen Wanwan with a puzzled expression: "Madam, I don't know his so-called sister at all."

Zhu Yuan felt bitter; why was he suddenly blamed for something he had done wrong?

Yu Xin then realized what was happening and quickly waved his hand, saying, "No, Madam, you misunderstand. The strategist really has nothing to do with my sister."

"Today on the street, my younger sister was being inconsiderate, saying some nasty things to the adults. After she got home, my parents and I have already disciplined her..."

As he spoke, Yu Xin placed the bundle he had brought on the table. Zhen Wanwan had noticed early on that the bundle he was carrying looked very heavy.

And the feeling of falling was like carrying a pile of stones on my back.

"This is a gift to apologize to my sister. I hope you and your wife will not find it offensive."

As he spoke, Yu Xin opened the bundle, and within moments, a pile of small, golden stones filled the table.

"Wow... so many gold ingots?"

That's right, Yu Xin's bundle didn't contain stones, but real gold and silver!

It's still a golden gold ingot.

Zhen Wanwan couldn't help but swallow hard. So much silver must be at least tens of thousands of taels!

Although she earned tens of thousands of taels of silver every month from running a department store, most of it was loose silver, nothing compared to the tangible gold in front of her.

Yu Xin wasn't so confident at first, but now that he saw Zhen Wanwan staring at the gold without blinking, he felt a little smug.

According to reports, Zhuyuan's wife was just an uneducated country girl.

His experience was still somewhat limited, so the conditions he was going to propose should not be difficult.

"You shouldn't accept rewards without merit. You should take this gold back with you."

Zhu Yuan refused expressionlessly. His wife could earn that much money in a month; he wasn't that short-sighted.

Although Zhen Wanwan felt the pinch, Zhu Yuan was right. She couldn't just take Yu Xin's things without knowing his background.

It wouldn't be good if I brought trouble upon myself.

"My lord, to be honest, besides apologizing on behalf of my sister, I have another matter to discuss with you."
