Fu Hengyu said with some displeasure, "Since I asked you to wait for me in the mansion, why did you suddenly come here? People have watched the joke between you and me for no reason."
"Who can laugh at the joke between you and me?"
Du Wan looked at him unhappily, "Besides, I just saw that Yu Lang hadn't returned home for a long time, so I came out to look for him. I happened to meet the prince's people who told me that you were at the Shen family, so I came here specially to look for you."
The prince’s people.
Shen Yuerong lowered her head and laughed secretly a few times.
Fu Hengyu stared at him. He didn't expect that he would have such despicable means.
"Since the lady has come to the door, if the general has nothing to do, he should go back with the lady as soon as possible, so as to avoid being seen by others and being thought that the general is a man who does not value friendship."
Du Wan fiercely snatched the three million taels of silver from his hand.
The tone suddenly became a little cold.
"These three million taels, I asked you to give it to the Shen family not the Shen family."
As she spoke, she pulled him out.
He subconsciously wanted to shake off the hand of the person in front of him, but stopped in the end.
Those eyes kept staring at Shen Yuerong until they could no longer be seen.
"Qinghua, I heard from Qi Bo that a batch of flower seeds will arrive today. They were specially selected by him before. Can you go over and help me see if there are any good-looking flowers? I can move them directly to the bedroom and the main room, so that the house will not look too empty."
"yes."
"Moving flowers is a strenuous job. Fangmu, Taohua, you two can follow along."
After Shen Yuerong finished speaking, several people followed Qinghua and left. When they reached the door, they found that there were no flowers at all. It was just an empty space.
"This is…"
Looking at the blank space in front of him, Qinghua instantly understood what she meant.
"It's just that the young lady wanted to have some private conversation with Wang Ye, and was afraid that it would be awkward for you and me to be there, so she just found a random reason to let you and me leave."
His young lady finally got it.
Even with ice and a round fan in the room, it was still a bit hot, which made it hard to stand.
"Didn't you say you had something important to do recently so you wouldn't come to see me? Why are you here today? Are you done with your work?"
Since everyone left, he fell silent and refused to talk to Shen Yuerong.
Shen Yuerong also patiently guided him slowly, but in the end she couldn't get the result she wanted.
"I know... I shouldn't have refused your help that day, but I've been used to being alone for these years. Besides, I really just want to rely on myself to pay back the money, and I don't want you to spend money on me."
"What is our relationship in your eyes? Partners? Or strangers?"
"How could you think that?"
"I heard that in order to collect the money, you asked the Shen family's shop to take out all the available money, and begged a few of your former business partners, but you never set your sights on me. What are you trying to avoid with me for?"
He doesn't understand.
The entire palace could afford a thousand taels of gold.
But Shen Yuerong never said it, and even rejected his request. He was in great torment.
"I didn't mean to reject you. I just didn't want to mix our affairs with money, and I didn't want people to think that I was with you for money."
Shen Yuerong reached out and held his big hand.
"Before you and I left the capital, the people had not yet spoken so badly about our relationship, but do you know how I have heard people talking about us recently?"
Chi Mu didn't say anything, just listened to her in silence.
"They said that I divorced the general because of you. The reason I abandoned the general and followed you was because you brought me enough benefits. They put all the faults on my head, forgetting that he was the first to bring a concubine into the family, and that concubine had two children."
To be precise, it was another wife he married.
Shen Yuerong felt a little wronged as she spoke, "I don't care how much I've been wronged, or how damaged my reputation is, I only care about you."
Shen Yuerong looked at him and reached out to touch his face.
"When I felt that my life had no destination to move forward, it was you who pulled me out of the abyss. It was you who told me that I could have my own future."
Those are things that Shen Yuerong will never forget even after many years.
"I will never forget how good you have been to me, and naturally I want to protect you forever."
"So that's why you rejected me in the first place? Because you were afraid..."
Shen Yuerong nodded.
"I don't want you to be targeted by those people because of me, but judging from the way you looked just now, I feel that if I don't explain it to you clearly, I don't know what you will do next time."
Chi Mu lowered his head, his voice hoarse, "Who asked him to come?"
"Yes, so you don't want to let Du Wan come here, and take her away at the same time?"
He nodded, "I can also have someone beat him out, but I'm afraid you won't be able to do that, so I can only find a method that seems more stable."
"What do you mean I can't bear to give it up? I see! Some people still don't want to believe me!"
He held the person in his arms and said, "How could I not believe you?"
Shen Yuerong finally accepted Chi Mu's help and delivered the thousand taels of gold to the prince on time.
The prince looked at the woman in front of him and said, "You are indeed very capable. I will give you the thousand taels of gold as soon as I ask you to."
"If His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had not boasted in front of His Majesty that my Shen family gave you a thousand taels of gold as compensation, I would naturally not have to do this."
"Is this the palace?"
Shen Yuerong didn't want to have a verbal dispute with him, so she wanted to turn around and leave, but she didn't expect him to reach out and grab her arm.
"Your Highness, what are you going to do?"
Shen Yuerong took two steps back, and the sound was heard clearly by everyone around.
“I naturally don’t have anything I want to do, but I just want to remind Miss Shen to be more careful when there are steps, so as not to bump into them. If you get hurt, the prince will come to find fault with me again.”
Shen Yuerong looked at the prince with some confusion. This was clearly a transaction between them, so what did it have to do with Chi Mu?
"It seems that there are many things you don't know. Since he doesn't want to tell you, I won't say anything. If you want to know the truth, go find him and let him tell you."
The prince turned and left, keeping the secret in his heart.
Shen Yuerong returned to the Shen family and looked at the courtyard filled with flowers.
"This flower?"
"The prince sent someone to deliver it. He said that he heard the young lady say that she wanted to put some flowers in the yard last time, so he specially asked someone to carefully select some flowers and send them over."
