Yan'er explained.

"As a result, Chief Zhou had something to do half an incense stick ago and hoped that we could wait here for a while. The queen was also very tolerant and took me to wait at the door."

"Maybe Master Zhou will be back soon..."

After saying this, Yan'er was still very nervous.

These words were just taught by Qian Ruoyu on the spur of the moment. Just saying these words made Yan'er nervous enough, so Yan'er couldn't calm down for a long time. Qian Ruoyu had to continue with Yan'er's words.

"Yeah, that's it. What are you doing here?"

Chu Mobai was obviously stunned for a moment after hearing this.

He stared at Qian Ruoyu, and there seemed to be countless questions in his eyes.

He spoke.

"The palace is my home, why am I here?"

Now it was Qian Ruoyu's turn to be stunned.

Only then did she realize that what he said was bullshit. This was of course Chu Mobai's home. Chu Mobai could go wherever he wanted and no one could control him.

In order to hide her embarrassment, Qian Ruoyu had to cough lightly.

And Si Yin, who was behind Qian Ruoyu, spoke considerately.

"Reporting to the princess, the prince is preparing to host a banquet for some guests at Dingxiang Tower, so he needs some silver, no more, no less, exactly twenty taels of silver."

"This is because the prince doesn't usually carry money with him, so he came to the treasury temporarily to get some silver."

Listening to Si Yin's explanation, Qian Ruoyu nodded slowly.

Qian Ruoyu could clearly feel that as her relationship with Si Yin and Si Ze gradually improved, Si Yin and Si Ze would actually help her in front of Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu then spoke.

"Is this money... urgent?"

Si Yin continued.

"Yes, Princess, the guests over there have almost all arrived and are waiting for the prince. I was supposed to take the silver, but the prince wanted to come over here and ask Chief Clerk Zhou if the twenty taels of silver are enough. If not, maybe he can take a little more."

Now it was Qian Ruoyu's turn to be surprised.

Even a prince needs to come back to get money.

This is really unheard of.

This Chu Mobai doesn't even know how much silver is needed for a banquet, and he still wants to invite people to dinner?

Therefore, Qian Ruoyu showed a sneer on his face.

When Chu Mobai saw her like this, he was puzzled, but he didn't say it out loud. He still looked at her coldly.

The scene suddenly became a little awkward.

Chu Mobai seemed to be waiting anxiously, so Qian Ruoyu said casually.

"Hey, if you're in a hurry, I have some money here that I can lend you first!"

Qian Ruoyu who said this seemed as if her relationship with Chu Mobai was not that of husband and wife but rather like that of friends.

After saying this, Qian Ruoyu also felt a little embarrassed, but Chu Mobai shook his head coldly.

“No need.”

Qian Ruoyu curled her lips and said, "Tsk, if you don't want to lend it, then don't lend it. Anyway, you're just waiting anxiously, and you don't know when Zhou Zhubo will come back!"

Si Yin and Si Ze on the side also continued speaking.

"Your Majesty, the gentlemen over there are probably getting a little anxious waiting. There are also several who have just returned from the border and are eager to enter the palace to meet His Majesty..."

"After meeting His Majesty, they will probably have to hurry back to the border. It will take a long time..."

Hearing this, Chu Mobai narrowed his eyes slightly, and his eyes looked a little solemn.

He finally said.

"How much silver do you have?"

Qian Ruoyu took out her small sachet, felt inside it, and found that she only had two small pieces of silver with her, which together weighed only about three taels.

Therefore Qian Ruoyu gently nudged Yan'er beside her with her elbow.

"How much silver do you have?"

Yan'er also quickly opened her sachet and took out a handful of silver.

"My lady, I still have about twenty taels of silver..."

Seeing the silver, Qian Ruoyu seemed quite happy. He quickly took the silver from Yan'er's hand and weighed it in his hand.

She said without hesitation.

"Okay, I've collected some silver for you. There's about fifty taels in here!"

As soon as Qian Ruoyu finished speaking, there was a burst of surprise around him.

Si Yin and Si Ze stared at Qian Ruoyu with their eyes wide open.

The princess only has this little bit of silver on her?

Yan'er looked at Qian Ruoyu's profile in disbelief.

black!

It’s too dark!

Qian Ruoyu only had more than twenty taels of silver in his hand, but he actually asked for fifty taels of silver. It was really too unfair!

Chu Mobai narrowed his eyes and looked at Qian Ruoyu, as if he was judging Qian Ruoyu.

Qian Ruoyu held the silver in his hand.

"Humph, this is fifty taels of silver, I have the final say!"

"If you want, I will lend it to you now, but you have to pay it back to me! I lend you fifty taels of silver and you just have to pay me back fifty taels. I don't need any interest from you!"

Chu Mobai obviously didn't expect Qian Ruoyu in front of him to be so dishonest.

Although Qian Ruoyu also wanted to lend the money to Chu Mobai, it was her own money after all, and she didn't know when he would return it to her.

Therefore, it doesn't make much difference to Qian Ruoyu whether to lend it or not, but it would be fine if Chu Mobai doesn't want it.

At this moment, Chu Mobai actually stretched out his big hand and grabbed Qian Ruoyu's entire hand.

The silver in Qian Ruoyu's hand was also grabbed by Chu Mobai, and Qian Ruoyu felt the warmth in Chu Mobai's hand.

"What...what do you want to do?"

When Qian Ruoyu said this, Chu Mobai pulled her over as well, and the distance between the two of them was extremely close...

Chu Mobai slowly lowered his head, looked down at Qian Ruoyu, and said with cold eyes.

"What you use is mine, what you eat is mine, what you live in is mine, and the money you borrow is also my money. You..."

Although Chu Mobai's tone was cold, Qian Ruoyu could not sense any murderous intent from it. It was obvious that Chu Mobai was not really angry at the moment.

So after taking a deep breath, Qian Ruoyu said.

"You...eat your own food and live your own life. Who made me your wife? But this money is not yours!"

"Humph, this silver is mine. Your silver is all in the vault. If you want to borrow it, you can. If you don't want to borrow it, you don't have to talk to me like this!"

Just after that, Chu Mobai unexpectedly raised the corners of his mouth.

This smile caught Qian Ruoyu off guard for a moment.

Then Chu Mobai took all the silver from Qian Ruoyu and gave it to Si Yin beside him.

As soon as he got the silver, he let go of Qian Ruoyu's hand, shook his sleeves, turned around and turned back, facing Qian Ruoyu with half of his face.

This left Qian Ruoyu completely puzzled.

"Hey, you... you're robbing me!"

Before Qian Ruoyu could finish her words, Chu Mobai had already left with Si Yin and Si Ze.

But when he reached the gate of the yard, Chu Mobai said something without turning his head.

"I will return the silver to you."

After saying that, Chu Mobai and the other two left the yard and headed towards the gate of the palace.
