He slowly raised his head and looked at Su Muxi standing with Xie Xuan. For some reason, he felt that the morning sunlight was a little dazzling.
He opened his mouth and asked in a deep voice, "Then why did you ask Xi'er for money in the street? You only asked for a little over ten thousand taels at first, so why are you asking for more than ten thousand taels now? Are you trying to stop me from giving Yingying a betrothal gift?"
