Shen Ningzhu knew what Liu Zhiyi wanted to say.

In modern times, although she has relatives, they don't care about her, but it's different here.

At least, there are two well-behaved and lovely children.

But so what?

Modern society is free and equal. We have mobile phones, Wi-Fi, a gentle breeze, sanitary napkins, high-speed trains, airplanes, trains, cruise ships—everything is convenient.

So, she smiled calmly.

"If a man does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Xiaoyi, I am just a selfish mortal."

After saying that, she stood up from her chair swiftly and left the festively decorated bridal chamber without looking back.

After a while, the two maids Yun'er and Xia'er hurried in, their eyes full of worry,

“Madam, what’s this, Madam Shen?”

"Hmm? What's wrong?"

Liu Zhiyi came back to his senses from his daze, quickly suppressed the surging emotions in his eyes, blinked his sore eyes, and then forced a smile and looked at the two of them.

Facing Liu Zhiyi's red eyes, the two of them choked in haste, and the words that were just about to reach their throats were instantly stuck. They hurried forward and said worriedly,

"Ma'am, why are you crying?"

"Yes, ma'am, it's a happy day, everything is fine, why are you not happy?"

"Just now when I saw Madam Shen leaving, her expression was not right and her eyes were scary red. Could it be that you two just..."

Yun'er wanted to ask them if they had had a fight, but she felt that was impossible.

They are Liu Zhiyi's personal maids. Does Liu Zhiyi always take them with him wherever he goes?

It is precisely because of this that they understand more clearly that given the relationship between Liu Zhiyi and Shen Ningzhu, how could there be any conflict?

Sure enough, Liu Zhiyi began to explain.

She smiled lightly,

"Okay, don't think too much. I'm just happy. Zhuzhu is just like me. She's happy for me because she sees me getting married."

"But……"

"Don't worry, by the way, how are your family's preparations going?"

Xia'er gently tugged at Yun'er's sleeve, slowly shook her head at her, and then whispered,

"Madam, everything is ready. When the time comes, we will take you on a pre-arranged route and then return to the mansion for worship."

Liu Zhiyi nodded slightly.

Two maids came forward to massage Liu Zhiyi's shoulders and legs. Yun'er said softly,

“By the way, Madam, Madam Shen just brought a lot of good things to add to your makeup.”

"Oh, really? Let me see the list."

Liu Zhiyi also smiled and followed their words, adding a sentence. The two maids' attention was indeed diverted, and the oppressive atmosphere just now dissipated instantly.

They all rushed to hand the list to Liu Zhiyi,

"Madam, Madam Shen is really good to you. She carried two large boxes of banknotes alone, and there were more than ten boxes of land deeds, shops, gold, silver and jewelry, a total of twenty boxes."

"Yes, yes. Every load they carry is filled with good stuff. The box is so heavy and packed to the brim. I heard the lid is barely able to close."

Liu Zhiyi chuckled when he heard this.

My thoughts suddenly went back to many years ago.

At that time, the two of them were very popular in school and received private gifts or love letters from boys every day.

At that time she scoffed and said,

"Aren't these people boring and childish? Instead of asking about my well-being, I'd rather give you a huge sum of money. If you don't have the ability, just be content. You haven't even grown all your hair yet, and you're trying to imitate others and write love letters. How jealous."

She remembered that Shen Ningzhu was stunned at that time.

Perhaps a young lady like her, who has never had to worry about food and clothing and has never lacked money since childhood, doesn't understand why writing a love letter is not childish, nor does she understand why writing a huge sum of money is not childish.

But since then, Chen Ningzhu no longer just gave her what she needed for daily life.

Instead, on her birthday or when she gets good grades, reward her with a secondary card of her own and let her use it as she pleases.

He would also send her large red envelopes from time to time, often tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

Although it doesn't seem like much, for a middle school student, it is a huge sum of money.

It was thanks to her generous help that she, an orphan, was able to live like a young lady.

After graduation, Chen Ningzhu gave her a house, a car, and her family's century-old secret recipe, helping her open hundreds of chain stores of all sizes within two years.

They also joked that with these shops, they would have someone to rely on in the future, and from now on, they could retire whenever they wanted.

In modern society, they should be living a good life, relying on each other and keeping each other warm.

Who would have thought that one day I would travel through time and arrive in this dynasty.

Those early days were the darkest time for them. Now that they can finally go back, she...

At this moment, Liu Zhiyi suddenly felt like a shameless traitor who betrayed their years of friendship for a man.

Scenes of memories appeared in Liu Zhiyi's mind, and all the things that happened in the past appeared clearly before her eyes.

Liu Zhiyi suddenly found it difficult to breathe. It felt like someone had stabbed her heart, causing her to bleed profusely and become a bloody mess.

At this moment, Xia Er said again,

"Oh, by the way, Madam Shen also gave me a small wooden box and asked me to give it to you separately. Please wait, I will show it to you right away."

As he said this, he ran out of the house, and soon ran back with a clatter.

He handed the wooden box in his arms to Liu Zhiyi, panting.

When Liu Zhiyi opened it, the sourness that she had suppressed with great difficulty came up again and spread densely in her heart.

"This is……"

"Oh my god, a red-lettered iron certificate, a golden medal of immunity from death, a blank imperial edict, this, this, this..."

Did Madam Shen go to rob the palace?

Such things, even for the founding fathers and top meritorious families, it would be difficult to get one, but Madam Shen just gave her a whole box?

Liu Zhiyi was also dumbfounded.

Holding his forehead, he said with a smile, "Zhuzhu, are you doing wholesale?"

Two red-lettered iron certificates, two golden medals of immunity from death, and ten blank imperial edicts.

Is this because it is easier to get things done if you have someone in the court?

Yun'er Xia'er sighed, "Mrs. Shen is so kind to our wife."

Liu Zhiyi also curled up the corners of his lips in pleasure.

"Yeah, she's really nice."

"Oh, by the way, Madam Shen asked me to bring you a message, saying that a friend in need is always a friend, and a distant land is like a neighbor. She also said that we wish you a long life, and that we can share the beauty of the moon even though we are thousands of miles apart."

"What else did she say?"

"She also said that she supports your choice because Song Hanchuan deserves it and you deserve it too."

"Madam, what do Madam Shen mean by these words? How do I feel when I hear them..."

Yun'er wanted to say, why does this sound like instructions for final affairs, but she stopped herself just before the end of the sentence.

Liu Zhiyi was silent for a long time, took a deep breath, and said firmly,

"Yun'er, put this box away and lock it in the warehouse for safekeeping. Is it almost time? Xia'er, get ready and help me get into the sedan chair."
