The servant, having heard of Xie Jingrun's methods, dared not be negligent and immediately left.
Not long after, Rong Shiqing walked in from outside, covered in sweat.
"I apologize for keeping Commander Xie waiting!"
"Has Lord Rong retrieved what our old lady requested?" Xie Jingrun stood up.
He was very tall, and because he was wearing a brocade robe, his imposing presence was awe-inspiring.
Seeing this, Rong Shiqing dared not delay any longer and quickly took out the deeds to the shops and estates, handing them to him, "Please take a look, Commander."
Xie Jingrun did not take it, saying, "Lord Rong gave it to the wrong person."
Rong Shiqing then handed the land deeds to Rong Qingqing, saying with some reluctance, "Take another look at it yourself. It's for a total of five shops and four estates. The land deeds and seals are all on it."
Rong Qingqing took it, and the dowry list clearly showed that it indeed included five shops and four estates.
She took it, looked it over, and after confirming that there were no problems, she said with a smile, "Thank you for your help today, Dad. I will definitely give you a big red envelope during the New Year."
Rong Shiqing felt a metallic taste rise in his throat, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Over the years, he has profited greatly from it.
After all, those five shops were prime locations with booming business; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they made a fortune every day.
But now, he has to hand it over, which is really making him feel like he has a fishbone stuck in his throat.
But somehow, this girl managed to get Xie Jingrun to back her up, no one knows what methods she used.
No matter how reluctant he was, he had no choice but to offer it with both hands.
He had only stalled for a little while, and Xie Jingrun had already lost his temper and become furious. How could he dare to stall any longer?
All he wanted now was for this plague to leave the Rong residence as soon as possible.
Seeing the woman so happy she was practically beside herself, Xie Jingrun's lips twitched slightly, and he walked away.
After Rong Qingqing retrieved her dowry, she felt refreshed and energized. She went to Deshou Hall to explain the situation to Old Madam Rong, gave Xiao Tao some instructions, left two servants behind to run errands for her, and then returned to the Marquis of Weiyuan's residence with the rest of the servants.
She received the land deed and originally intended to inspect the shop, but it was getting late, so she decided to go tomorrow.
When she returned to the Marquis's residence, Changlin was already waiting for her.
"Madam, all your dowry has been moved back to Qinfang Garden. Please check it yourself."
Rong Qingqing was overjoyed to receive such a large dowry, and her face lit up with smiles when she saw Changlin.
"Thank you so much for today." With that, he took out a silver ingot from his sleeve and put it in Changlin's hand. "It's just a small token of my gratitude. Another day, I'll invite you and your brothers to a restaurant for drinks."
Changlin felt awkward looking at the overly enthusiastic old lady. As if he had a hot potato in his hand, he quickly pushed it back, saying, "It is what I should do. You don't need to be so polite, Madam. The Marquis has other instructions, so I will take my leave first. If there is anything else, please send someone to call me."
After saying that, he hurriedly ran away.
Rong Qingqing looked at the silver ingot that had been pushed back into her hand and wondered if he thought it wasn't enough? Or perhaps, he didn't like money?
Men like only three things: money, power, and beautiful women.
Suddenly remembering something, she called out to Changlin's retreating figure, "Chief Guard Changlin, I'll invite you to Chunyan Pavilion for drinks another day."
Upon hearing the sound, Changlin stumbled and almost fell, but quickly quickened his pace.
Did the old lady misunderstand him?
Is he the kind of womanizer?!
They actually want to invite him to a brothel?
He politely declined.
