Rong Qingqing returned to Qinfang Garden in a cheerful mood and saw that Changlin had indeed moved all of her dowry into her room and piled it up neatly.
She walked over, her fingers brushing against the lid of the box, feeling an overwhelming surge of excitement.
Unexpectedly, she became a wealthy woman in just one day.
In modern times, she'd be worth over a hundred million, right?!
Aside from the shops and estates, the wealth she has right now is enough for her to squander for a lifetime.
Oh no, happiness came too suddenly, making her feel like she was in a dream.
A moment later, she opened the box containing the gold, took out two gold ingots, and touched them repeatedly. They were icy cold and felt so real.
However, we were able to get all the dowry back so smoothly today, thanks to Xie Jingrun.
Although he didn't do anything, he stood on Rong Shiqing's side when they were together, which made Rong Shiqing wary, thinking that he was backing him up.
Especially the shops and estates; without him, Rong Shiqing probably wouldn't have returned them to her so easily.
Although she had a way to get him to vomit, it would definitely take some more effort.
Therefore, we still have to thank Xie Jingrun.
Although this guy is weird and scary, there's no denying that such a powerful backer is really useful. If you can hold on to him, it will be very beneficial in the future.
Thinking of this, she quickly put the gold ingot back. Looking at the neatly stacked, glittering gold in the box, her gaze softened.
"You guys stay here quietly, I'll come back to see you later, mwah."
After admiring it for a while longer, she reluctantly turned her gaze away, found two more locks, carefully locked the box, and then opened the door and left the house.
Evening, at the entrance of Qingxing Garden.
Thinking back to her previous experience, Rong Qingqing didn't dare to go in rashly again. What if Xie Jingrun suddenly lost his mind again and threw knives at her? That would be too exciting, and her heart wouldn't be able to take it.
So she decided to stand outside the door, find out what was going on, and then decide whether to go in.
However, she had only glanced around twice when someone suddenly patted her on the shoulder from behind. "Sneaking around like that, what are you trying to do?"
Rong Qingqing was startled at first, but when she heard Xie Jingrun's voice clearly, she immediately turned around and smiled, her eyes crinkling, "My Lord."
Xie Jingrun narrowed his eyes slightly.
What is this woman doing here so late at night, and why is she laughing so seductively? What is she trying to do?
His slender fingers gripped the hilt of the Embroidered Spring Blade. He glanced at her with a cool gaze, but said nothing more, and walked inside.
Seeing this, Rong Qingqing quickly followed him inside. "My lord, did you go out?"
Hearing her footsteps as she entered, Xie Jingrun paused slightly, glanced at her, and interrupted her overly enthusiastic manner, saying, "Get to the point."
Before Rong Qingqing arrived, she had already made up her mind to stick close to him. She had prepared a lot of nice things to say, but before she could say them, he poured cold water on her.
She wiped away the non-existent cold water from her face, suppressed her smile, and said seriously, "My lord, I am very grateful to you for today's events. To express my gratitude, I have specially prepared a table full of dishes tonight. I hope that you will do me the honor of joining me for a meal in the front courtyard."
Xie Jingrun glanced at her, his slender fingers tapping lightly on the scabbard. After a moment's thought, he asked, "Did you cook this dish yourself?"
Rong Qingqing glanced at his expression, not understanding why he asked such a redundant question, but still said, "Yes, but I'm not quite sure about the Marquis's tastes, and I don't know if the dishes I make will suit your palate." She considered herself to be a pretty good cook, but who knew if this great devil would nitpick, so it was better to be conservative.
