Shen Yuerong didn't feel at all surprised by Chi Mu's sudden appearance.
She placed the banknote in her hand in front of the man's eyes and said, "This is the compensation and dividends that we promised to give you before."
Chi Mu looked at the amount and said, "So much money? Although those shops have been doing well recently, it doesn't mean... they can make so much money, right?"
He had also heard about the business in the capital.
The five shops under Shen Yuerong are indeed outstanding.
But Chi Mu knew without even thinking that it would be no easy task to get a dividend of nearly 30,000 taels.
"It's impossible to make so much money from these shops in less than two months, but if I add some things my father left me and some unnecessary things, I can make up for it."
"You didn't sell all the dowry that Dr. Shen left for you for money, did you?"
Shen Yuerong nodded.
Among the dowry, except for the diary and medical skills left by my father, the rest were just material possessions and nothing particularly important.
Now she just wanted to pay the money back as soon as possible, so naturally she didn't care too much.
"I told you that you don't need to rush for the money, so why do you..."
"Just because you're not in a hurry doesn't mean I'm not in a hurry. I owe other people money, so naturally I feel uncomfortable all over."
She looked at Chi Mu and said, "Just accept it."
Chi Mu looked at her trembling figure and said, "Fang Mu, go close the door."
"Don't."
Chen Yuerong stopped Fang Mu and said, "If you and I are alone in a room with the door closed, it will be bad if it gets out, and it will ruin our reputation."
"Are you afraid of your reputation being ruined, or are you afraid of this king?"
"Of course it's you."
Shen Yuerong said this without hesitation. She looked at him and said, "I am now an abandoned woman who has been divorced. My reputation that should have been ruined has long since disappeared. Naturally, I don't care. But Your Majesty..."
He is now a person who is the subject of much gossip among the rich kids in the capital.
Shen Yuerong didn't want him to suffer any negative impact because of her.
"I don't care about that."
He stood up, waved his hand, and again ordered Fang Mu to close the door, and asked someone to light two more stoves.
"It's been so long since you had the cold, but there's still no cure?"
Shen Yuerong didn't know why he knew that she had a cold, but she nodded anyway.
"You have been in poor health since you were a child. Doctor Shen told me about it. Then you were so fearless that you soaked in the river water for a whole night just to send him back. The cold disease in your body has taken root."
He patiently explained to her why he knew all this.
"in addition."
His eyes casually fell on Shen Yuerong, "I hope my reputation is even worse, preferably the worst in the capital, so that no one will focus on me, and you will no longer misunderstand the relationship between me and others."
With this sentence...is he blaming Shen Yuerong for misunderstanding the relationship between him and Fu Hengyue?
"Are you blaming me? I misunderstood you and Fu Hengyue before?"
He nodded proudly, "I controlled myself and tried not to disturb you in the past two months. So do you have an answer?"
Shen Yuerong looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat.
Compared with Fu Hengyu, the man in front of him is the best man in the world.
She really couldn't remember what the past was between them.
Even the past that made him extremely sad had never been mentioned by him.
Shen Yuerong really couldn't understand where the love and hate between them came from.
"When did you fall in love with me?"
Chi Mu shook his head, "I told you I don't know either!"
Perhaps it was because he had been in and out of Shen Shen Doctor's house in a hurry and met him again and again that he finally fell in love with him.
Or maybe it was because... the three years of restraint at the border had made him completely worried about his beloved falling into the hands of others.
Shen Yuerong looked at the beads of sweat on his forehead and suddenly changed the subject, "If you feel hot, ask someone to remove it."
This small meeting room had nearly eight stoves lit inside and outside.
Although she felt the temperature was appropriate, she saw the person in front of her sweating profusely.
This was the royal palace after all, so Shen Yuerong naturally felt that Chi Mu should not be wronged.
"It's okay, you should feel better now. If it still doesn't work... I'll let them add more."
Shen Yuerong shook her head. This was the first time she walked towards him.
As if possessed by a ghost, she wiped the sweat from her forehead with the handkerchief in her hand, and her tone expressed the heartache that she herself was not even aware of.
"I know you're very hot, so let's have someone leave. If you get caught in the wind when you go out later, you might catch a cold."
But he reached out and grabbed her hand.
"For you, I am willing."
Shen Yuerong froze in place, pushed him away, and ran out in a panic.
Watching her hurriedly leaving, he was extremely happy.
"I'm leaving first."
Qinghua followed her footsteps and left.
He ordered Fang Mu again, "Go quickly, so that no one will drive for you."
"yes."
…
Returned home.
Shen Yuerong's hands were always pressed tightly against her chest, and she could always feel the extremely powerful beating of her heart.
What's going on?
The words "willingly" kept echoing in my ears.
That sentence coupled with his expression at the time really made her feel a little overwhelmed.
"Why is it so hot today?"
Shen Yuerong took off her coat, but still felt a tightness in her chest.
"Miss, you are not hot at all. It's obviously because of the prince. Are you moved by the prince's words?"
Shen Yuerong glanced at her and said, "Qinghua, I'm an experienced person. I know what it's like to love someone. His eyes... are the eyes of a lover."
It was because of that look that Shen Yuerong left with some fear.
"Does the young lady like the prince?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head, “I don’t know, but I just feel…I shouldn’t get entangled with him, I’m not worthy of him.”
"Why is the lady not worthy?"
Qinghua squatted down and looked at his young lady with some heartache.
"Young lady is the descendant of a miraculous doctor and a third-rank official appointed by His Majesty himself. Now her shop is doing well. With such a background, she is naturally a good match for the prince."
"There are many girls from official families in the capital who have been bound by rules since childhood, and there are also daughters of ministers who can provide him with support. They are all more innocent than me, so... a married woman, no matter how capable she is, is definitely not the best choice for his wife."
Everyone in this world can match him, except himself.
"Miss, why do you have to make yourself sound so unpresentable? Even if you are a perfect match, if you don't like each other, getting married will only delay each other's fate."
