Shen Yuerong returned to the yard. Although this matter was a concern, she could not rush into it. It would be better to focus her attention elsewhere.
The Shen family must pay back this money no matter when.
But a thousand taels of gold is still a huge project.
He came back from outside, feeling hot. When he saw her coming towards him, he looked at her ugly wrinkled face and reached out his hand to rub her temple.
"You have always remained calm even when the sky is falling. I thought nothing in this world could cause you to worry. What happened?"
Shen Yuerong didn't want to explain it to him in detail, but seeing how worried he was, she leaned all her weight on his shoulders.
"It was a gift from the Crown Prince. He told His Majesty that my Shen family paid a thousand taels of gold, so I must make up for this loss."
"Can the store's turnover be replenished?"
Shen Yuerong shook her head.
"Do you think the Shen family shop is one of the best royal shops in the capital? With the help of these ordinary people, I am lucky to have a turnover of 200,000 or 300,000 taels a year. Where does so much money come from?"
The little money in the shop is not enough.
Shen Yuerong had sold her dowry once before, and now most of what was left were her most important items.
"If you really can't pay it back, the General's Mansion will pay for you. If you can't pay it back, just consider it my betrothal gift to you."
She rejected Chi Mu and didn't want to rely on him for everything.
"I will not take this money from you. Otherwise, knowing that you have always been behind me, I will slack off, and the prince will become more indulgent."
"Isn't it good to have me behind you to protect you?"
Shen Yuerong didn't know how to explain her somewhat pathetic self-esteem to Chi Mu.
"Anyway, I want to find a way to solve this matter myself. I believe that with my own hands, I will definitely find a way."
Chi Mu put down his hand and looked at her with some disappointment. "Since you think you can handle these things by yourself, then I won't bother you here. It just so happens that there are some important matters in the court that need my attention recently, so I won't come over."
After he said this, he pulled his hand away, turned around and left without any emotion.
Shen Yuerong looked at his departing back in some surprise. Is he... angry?
She realized it later, but she didn't know what she said wrong to make him unhappy.
In the next few days, Shen Yuerong ordered her subordinates to collect the cash flow of the five shops in recent days to see how much money they could get in total.
"Boss, here are a few shops and a few of us. All our life savings are here. Even if we convert them into gold, it's not enough for half of it. What should we do?"
Shen Yuerong originally wanted to borrow some from her old friends, but almost everyone avoided her at this moment.
"Miss, someone is coming to the General's Mansion."
Shen Yuerong frowned. Wasn't what he said last time cruel enough? He still didn't know how to deal with the relationship between them.
"General."
Fu Hengyu looked at the somewhat thin Shen Yuerong and said, "Here is some silver money, not much, and it may not be able to solve your urgent need, but you can use it first, and return it to me after a while when you have more."
He placed the banknotes in his hand on the table, a total of three million.
"Being by the prince's side and now being his right-hand man is really different. After all, you didn't put three million silver notes in front of me so easily before."
"That's all in the past. Now that you're in trouble, I can't just sit there and watch."
Shen Yuerong sat there and looked at him, "Fu Hengyu, have you ever really liked me?"
He nodded, with a hint of reluctance in his tone.
"I was blinded by the secular world before and never thought how good you were. Mother also told me a lot about how you treated her badly, so I thought... It was not until the past six months since you left the General's Mansion that I realized how diligently and carefully you had worked in the mansion and how well you had taken care of the entire family."
Unfortunately, those things have become the past and they can never go back to the way they were before.
"Rong'er, if you are willing to come back, I..."
"General, be careful with your words."
Shen Yuerong frowned, and the carpenter fell on the man who rushed in hurriedly.
He had not been to the Shen Mansion in the past few days and thought that he was still angry, but he did not expect that he would appear here at this moment.
Even you, Fu Hengyu, didn't expect this.
"Why are you here?"
Shen Yuerong raised her head and looked at him in surprise.
But he sat next to Shen Yuerong as if he wanted to prove that he was the master, "Why can't I come?"
There was a hint of jealousy in his words, and the whole room smelled quite sour.
Shen Yuerong smiled lightly and shook her head helplessly.
He is so old, but he still acts like a boy. It's really hard to deal with him.
"Your Majesty."
He didn't even glance at Fu Hengyu. He just waved his hand, and naturally someone carried a lot of boxes in.
"This is my share, five hundred taels of gold."
"Five hundred taels?"
Shen Yuerong looked at him in surprise. After all, she had said before that she didn't need his help to pay back the money.
He took the four treasures of the study from the table beside him and wrote an IOU in a very eloquent manner.
"This isn't the first time you owe me money. I'll give you the money. Sign this IOU and I'll help you collect it. When you have money, just pay me back."
Shen Yuerong still wanted to refuse, so she looked at his subconsciously frowned brows, and finally signed her name on the paper with some helplessness.
"Then I would like to thank you, Your Majesty."
The curtain fell in black and white.
The prince looked at the three million taels of silver on the table, signed and handed it to Fu Hengyu.
"From now on, I, as her husband, will naturally shoulder her affairs. There's no need to bother General Fu to make this special trip. If it gets out, people will misunderstand her and the general's wife will come to make things difficult for her again."
"Does Du Wan often cause trouble for you?"
He looked at Shen Yuerong with some pity in his eyes, as if he suddenly became affectionate towards her.
"That's not the case. It's just that the general's wife came to give me and the prince some wedding candy a few days ago. When you two got married, the prince and I didn't save money to congratulate you. It was because we failed to do so. I would like to congratulate you two on your wedding."
"No."
He rejected Shen Yuerong's congratulations.
"I married her only because the prince wanted me to. I actually..."
"Yulang."
Before he finished speaking, a woman swayed towards him from behind.
"Why are you here? Didn't you say you would come back early after the tide subsided to accompany me to the East Market to buy cakes? It's already this late, and I've been waiting for Yulang at home, but he didn't come back. It turns out he's at the Shen's."
Her hand went around his arm, asserting her sovereignty.
