"I didn't mean to do that just now. What happened today should be treated as if it never happened. You don't have to be responsible, and you don't have to remember it. Just treat it as if it never happened."
"I am a monk and have never thought of returning to secular life. Now that the sky is clear, please leave quickly."
Xu Jinyi was furious: "Big monk, are you turning your back on me? We've hugged each other, kissed each other, and you've even seen my body. I also..."
Xu Jinyi glanced at his crotch.
"We are so close, how can you not be responsible for me? And do you dare to say that you don't like me? Ask your heart, do you really not like me?"
Xu Jinyi pointed her index finger at his chest and drew circles.
Gu Chen blushed unnaturally and closed his legs, trying to block the wet fabric.
Her heart was throbbing, yet she had many concerns: "Donor, please leave quickly. With your appearance and background, you will surely be able to marry a more suitable husband or concubine."
After saying this, Gu Chen clenched his fists as he felt a sharp pain like needles pricking him.
Xu Jinyi almost laughed out loud when she heard his words, and nodded: "Okay, you are a good monk, this girl is so beautiful, how can you be afraid of not being able to marry someone."
"Believe it or not, if I wave my hand, the people who want to marry me will line up outside the border town."
"snort……"
Xu Jin angrily changed back into his clothes and left without looking back.
Gu Chen looked at the resolute back without any reluctance, and his eyes became red.
He is an ominous person. He is not qualified to receive love and does not deserve it.
Xu Jinyi never thought that just one meeting would make him leave the monastery and marry her, but that night left an indelible throbbing in his heart.
One day, when this throbbing feeling penetrates deeply into his heart and is engraved into his bones, he will not be able to refuse it.
After Xu Jinyi left, Gu Chen felt like he had lost his soul. He felt empty and depressed inside.
In the past, he never thought that a life of beating wooden fish and chanting scriptures was boring, but now, he felt that such a life was extremely boring.
Looking at the bed where she slept, all I could think of was that bright and bold little face.
Even if he picked up the Buddhist beads again and knelt before the Buddha to recite the scriptures over and over again, his heart could not calm down.
After returning to the palace, Xu Jinyi immediately gathered all the little fairies in his family together.
Xu Jinyi was dazzled by the endless stream of little fairies coming towards him.
Among this large group of people, many are new faces, people that the original owner cannot even remember.
Xu Jinyi twitched his lips and could only clean up the mess for the original owner.
Just to please the eyes, he kept so many money-eating beasts in his house. It was such a waste.
After everyone arrived, Xu Jinyi cleared his throat: Xu Jinyi took a stack of indentures from the butler.
Under everyone's puzzled gaze, Xu Jinyi said, "I called you here today to return this indenture to you. After you get the indenture, you will be free."
"This emperor knows that most of you were forced into the palace by me. It was my fault in the past."
"Now, Your Highness has found someone he truly loves and will marry him soon. I am wrong for wasting your precious time."
"You all should come forward one by one and line up to get your deeds from the steward."
Xu Jinyi could feel that many of these dozens of people were looking at her with resentment.
The original owner was also confused. He was shopping and saw that the young master was handsome, so he sent people to take him back to the backyard without saying a word.
It would have been fine if I had snatched her back and treated her well, but she is such a sentimental person.
Once you enter her backyard, you will be forgotten in the corner.
As a result of the scramble, there were a lot of idle people in the mansion.
As a result, all the gold and silver that her mother, the empress, had given her when she founded the palace was almost gone.
Thinking of this, Xu Jinyi's eyes flashed.
Most people who entered the palace never thought about having the chance to leave. Now, after hearing what Xu Jinyi said, they suddenly became confused.
After leaving, what should they do? They have become accustomed to the luxurious life in the palace, and it is hard to ask them to return to their previous life.
They don't know if they can adapt.
A man with a pale face like a scholar knelt in front of Xu Jinyi and said, "Your Highness, from the moment I entered the palace, I belong to you in life and death. I beg you to keep me."
Several more people knelt down one after another and said, "We are willing to stay by your side as concubines, page boys, or even concubines. Please don't drive us away."
"If Your Highness is worried that Zhengjun will be unhappy to see us when he comes into the mansion, we can just not show up. Just like before, Your Highness would come to see us occasionally, and we would be happy too."
A group of men were crying, with the rouge on their faces smudged, which made Xu Jinyi feel that it was an eyesore.
"Alright, Your Highness has made the decision. You have until today to leave immediately."
"According to the number of years you have been in the palace, each of you can go to the accountant to receive a sum of money."
"One hundred taels a year is calculated, and any part of it is still considered a year."
"Butler, ask the accounting office to get a stack of banknotes over. You must have recorded the time they entered the mansion."
Xu Jinyi's voice became cold and unquestionable, and a long line soon formed in front of the butler.
Xu Jinyi stood there and watched these people take their money and leave. After everyone left, Xu Jinyi's face turned completely cold.
She had just discovered a big problem. Among those people, there were several men from poor families, and it seemed that two of them were orphans.
But they all wore fine jade pendants and gorgeous clothes, and they had never left here.
So where did these things come from? I can only say that they were given by the housekeeper and the accountant.
So all her money became the property of these two people and was distributed at will?
"Accountant, Your Highness, I remember that last month, the Queen Mother gave me a piece of black warm jade as a tribute. Is it in the storehouse? Take me there to get it."
The accountant was stunned and broke out in a cold sweat under Xu Jinyi's sharp gaze, worried that Xu Jinyi knew something.
"Your Highness, why do you want that warm jade? Don't you dislike the color?"
"Do I need your approval to get anything? Why don't you lead the way?" Xu Jinyi's eyes became sharp.
The housekeeper stepped forward with a smile and said, "Your Highness, the warm jade has been put into the warehouse. It will probably take some time to find it. Why don't you ask the accountant to go back and look for it?"
"The kitchen has made some snacks, and they're warming up. Would you like to try some, Your Highness?"
"Everything in the warehouse today has been registered and placed in order. How could you not find it? If you can't find it, it means you haven't managed it well."
After saying this, Xu Jinyi ignored the ugly expressions of the housekeeper and the accountant and walked towards the warehouse.
The accountant swallowed nervously, followed Xu Jinyi and exchanged glances with the housekeeper.
The warehouse was locked, Xu Jinyi stood outside the door, but the accountant did not take out the key for a long time.
