Lu Zhenzhi came quickly in court robes, followed by two attendants.

"Oh, the busy man is here." Fu Tong'er stood up, with her hair in cloud-like bun and a white crane hairpin inserted in her bun, making the owner look playful and cute, as well as noble and cool.

Lu Zhenzhi walked over quickly and saw Fu Tong'er wearing the custom-made jade white female crane hairpin he had given her. Her appearance and temperament were somewhat like his regent princess, and he smiled faintly.

"Come." Lu Zhenzhi opened his arms.

Fu Tong'er glanced at him disdainfully and said, "I also want Jiu Ye's silver. Ten taels."

Lu Zhenzhi glanced at Qiao'er beside him and said, "You have a smart girl." As he said that, he took out a silver note of one thousand taels from his pocket. This was the bill he had just received.

"Take it. You said before that as long as I'm sincere, now your girl has become smart and knows how to ask men for money?"

Fu Tong'er took it, folded it and put it on her body, saying: "To prevent Master Jiu from having affairs outside."

Qiao'er lowered her head and smiled, bowing to Master Jiu: "I will take my leave."

"Wait, Qiao'er," Fu Tong'er held her back, and then asked Lu Zhenzhi, "When will Xiaopu be back?"

When Qiao'er heard this, her face turned red instantly. She could guess what her young lady would say next even with her toes.

"Deputy General Xiao has sent a letter and will reply in the next two days." Lu Zhenzhi said.

Fu Tong'er nodded and said to Qiao'er, "Your husband is coming back. From now on, you must stay away from Master Jiu, lest he tempt you with dozens of taels of silver again. Go, go."

Qiao'er blushed to her ears. She felt truly unlucky to have such a young lady in her life. She hurriedly retreated and went to wait in the upper prison.

Lu Zhenzhi was so angry that he laughed. What did he mean by "so he wouldn't seduce you"? When had he ever "seduced" her maid? It was true that he had rewarded her with a few taels of silver, and that amount was normal for the mansion. But how could there be dozens of taels! How could there be dozens of taels! I don't know what Qiao'er said to this girl, a little girl who only wanted love, actually started to blatantly ask for money.

"What are you laughing at, Master Jiu?"

Lu Zhenzhi walked over, sat down at the table, picked up the bowl and chopsticks used by Fu Tong'er, took a bite of rice, and said: "Nothing, I am just glad that you have a smart and clever girl by your side to teach you, so that you won't suffer at the hands of men."

Seeing Lu Zhenzhi using her bowl and chopsticks, Fu Tonger said: “Jiu Ye, those are what I used. If you use them, what should I use? I’m still hungry.”

Lu Zhenzhi took two bites of food and stopped, handed the chopsticks to Fu Tonger, and said: "I have a social event later, so I took the time to come see you now."

Seeing that Fu Tong'er didn't answer, he pulled her over to sit next to him, and asked ambiguously against the top of her head: "Why, Tong'er, don't you remember kissing me last night?"

Fu Tong'er's pupils dilated instantly, and the tingling sensation quickly spread throughout her body. She hurriedly took the chopsticks that the man had used to eat two bites of food, and ate with a red face.

Lu Zhenzhi put his arm around her waist, resting one elbow on the table, and looked down at Fu Tong'er's shy face lovingly.

"I've been really busy these past two days," Lu Zhenzhi raised his hand to the top of her head, playing with the custom-made hairpin. The pleasant sound was just like Fu Tong'er's voice, very pleasant to the ear. "So I asked someone to make a piece of jewelry for you. Do you like it?"

"Master Jiu, don't you ask me what I'm doing with the money?"

Lu Zhenzhi's arm moved from his waist to Fu Tong'er's shoulder, and he put his arm around her and said, "That banknote is from my account. If you use it after you leave, just make a note of it with the accountant in my palace. You don't need to explain it to me."

Fu Tong'er looked at the man and smiled. After a long while, she said, "Sure enough, it's good to be with Master Jiu."

"Oh? So, girl, do you like me as a person, or do you like my money, power, and influence?"

Fu Tong'er smiled and said, "Master Jiu sent Xiao Pu to investigate me. I believe you already know my identity. So, Master Jiu, do you like me personally, or do you like the Fu family behind me and the millions of soldiers of the Great Dian Empire?"

"Tong'er..."
