Chapter 1176 If you are pleased with me, then breathe 30
But now, not only did he personally receive her, but he also allowed Ah-Qiong to eat and take things as she pleased, without making things difficult for her at all, and even did things according to Ah-Qiong's wishes.
Their intentions are obvious at a glance.
The other party had no intention of hiding anything, nor were they worried that they would use Arjun to achieve some purpose.
Or perhaps, Xuanhe was just hoping the Lin family would use Aqiong to ask him for something.
A playful glint flashed in the Empress Dowager's eyes. She lightly tapped her bright red henna nails a few times and made her decision in an instant.
...
Not long after Song Jinhuan returned to her residence, Lin Yaning came over carrying a box of jewelry, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Song Jinhuan was intrigued and said, "Just say what you want to say."
Lin Yaning sighed and blurted out, "Second sister, these are all for you, they're very valuable!"
"Father is really something. Although you've been in the palace since you were little, you're still his own daughter. How can he let my sister have no money to rely on?"
Although the things in the palace are very valuable, they cannot be sold!
Especially the items bestowed by the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
Although my second sister was a registered female official in the palace, her meager monthly salary couldn't even buy a handkerchief from the Embroidery Pavilion.
Pitiful!
My second sister is so pitiful!
Song Jinhuan pushed it back, "I don't need the money."
The palace provides room and board, a monthly stipend, and the Empress Dowager also provides subsidies through her private treasury.
This month alone, she has already been rewarded with several hundred taels of silver.
To everyone's surprise, Lin Yaning pinched her nose and started crying, "Why are you being so formal with me, sister? I've spent too much money this month, so I only have these jewelry pieces for you. Next month, when the household pays you, you can have them all."
Song Jinhuan quickly picked up a handkerchief to wipe her tears, "Third Sister, have you misunderstood something?"
Lin Yaning's eyes flickered, "I heard that you owe Elder Xuan a lot of money."
Only she and Xuanhe know about this, and Xuanhe doesn't seem like the type to spread rumors far and wide.
She frowned. "Where did you hear that from?"
Lin Yaning: "Huh? Huh? Huh?"
Song Jinhuan: "What do you mean, 'ah'?"
Lin Yaning scratched her head. "I have something to do, I'll be going now!"
She put down the jewelry box and made a hasty escape.
Not long after, Lin Wenyao arrived.
They brought over two gold bars.
Song Jinhuan had a gut feeling that something was happening outside, something related to her and Xuanhe.
But they all chose to keep it a secret.
Lin Wenyao and Lin Yaning came to her door to deliver money, hoping she would pay it back as soon as possible.
This suggests that the events that have occurred will cause Xuanhe to retaliate against her.
Song Jinhuan touched the gold bar, his eyes lowered.
Her face is quite intimidating; she can look pitiful just by frowning.
"Eldest sister, I have the money to repay Elder Xuan. Please take this box of jewelry back to Third Sister."
Lin Wenyao sensed something was wrong and asked softly, "Ya Ning told you everything?"
Song Jinhuan glanced at her, quickly lowered her eyes, and nodded gently, "Mm."
Lin Wenyao quickly sat down beside her and patted her back, "Rumors in the capital are not good for you or Elder Xuan."
"Now I'm afraid that Elder Xuan will take his anger out on you. After all, everyone in the capital knows that he is deeply in love with you and cannot have you, while you have rejected him time and time again."
"The closer he chases, the farther you run. Many people even say behind your back that you don't know what's good for you. How ridiculous!"
"I wonder who could be so malicious... I suspect it's the Emperor!"
"However, when he spread rumors about you, he happened to involve Elder Xuan... This is going to cost my second sister her life!"
"Is Elder Xuan so easy to talk to?"
Lin Wenyao blurted everything out, her eyes red-rimmed, tears streaming down her face as she wrung out her handkerchief.
