Gu Zhixing narrowed his eyes as he looked at Shen Jintang's anxious expression, and a plan formed in his mind.
He gently rubbed the purse between his fingertips for a moment, then slowly tucked it into the front of his clothes.
With a slight smile, he looked down at Shen Jintang and said, "I can give it back to you, but there's a condition."
Shen Jintang clenched her fists, the stinging pain in her palms bringing her back to her senses. She looked up at Gu Zhixing and said, "Your Highness is a good person. I believe Your Highness will not make things difficult for me."
"A good person? You're the first to say I'm a good person."
Gu Zhixing straightened his clothes, sat down leisurely to one side, and looked at Shen Jintang with a relaxed expression, saying, "It's just a pity that this young master is not a good person."

He placed the paper in Shen Jintang's hand and said, "Memorize it. No matter who asks you tomorrow, just say what's on the paper."
This paper records what Grand Tutor Shen did in Peach Blossom Village fifteen years ago. He spent a lot of money to find out about it.
These things came out of Grand Tutor Shen's own daughter's mouth, and the effect was... well, you can imagine.
Shen Jintang glanced at him up and down, and immediately understood what Gu Zhixing wanted her to do, but—
"Does Your Highness intend to use these things in this way?"
How to utilize it?
The natural course of action is to treat them the same way they treat you!
The reason the Censorate impeached him was because Grand Tutor Shen was behind it.
Since he loves impeaching others so much, let him also enjoy the process of being impeached by the censor!
