"Big Brother~"
At the end of the Xu hour, Si Chengfeng, dressed in a moon-white brocade robe, came to Mu Lige's study in Lingkun Courtyard with an exquisite box in his hand.
Seeing that it was Si Chengfeng coming, Shu Mo and Li Xiang who were waiting at the door did not stop him.
Mu Lige, who was sitting at the desk reading a book, heard Si Chengfeng's voice and suddenly stopped turning the pages. He looked up at the handsome figure walking towards him at the door.
"Fifth brother, you are weak. It's so cold and windy at night. Why do you come here at this time?" Mu Lige's eyes were like stars crossing the night sky, bright and deep, as if they could see through everything.
"Brother, Chengfeng has something important to tell you, so he comes to bother you so late at night." Si Chengfeng walked lightly and gracefully, came to sit opposite Mu Lige, and placed the box in his hand on the desk.
"This is……"
Mu Lige looked at the exquisitely crafted box on the desk thoughtfully.
This scene was very familiar to people. It happened on the eve of the emperor's appointment of him as the Prince of the Crown Princess. At that time, Si Chengfeng held a small exquisite brocade box in his hand and gave him a seal that could mobilize half of his property.
"Pah~"
Si Chengfeng carefully opened the box on the table. In the box, there was a thick stack of huge silver bills with a face value of ten thousand taels, as many as one thousand pieces. There was also a small brocade box on top, and inside it lay a jade seal of extremely fine quality. Under the light of the lamp beside it, the jade seal emitted a soft and warm light.
Si Chengfeng gently took the jade seal out of the brocade box with both hands and presented it to Mu Lige. His movements were gentle and slow, full of piety and respect, as if he was offering his most precious gift to a god.
"Brother, this is the jade seal that represents the identity of the owner of Chengfeng. It can mobilize all the assets under Chengfeng's name. Not only the deposits in the bank, but also all the shops, workshops, houses, farms, fields, shopkeepers, employees, and servants under Chengfeng's name in our Laifeng country..."
Si Chengfeng smiled faintly, his charming eyes filled with calmness, without a trace of reluctance. It was as if what he was giving away wasn't a vast fortune, but a humble cabbage, or a tiny speck of dust. In his eyes, the money seemed worthless. His smile was like the warm sunshine of spring, beautiful and heartwarming, making people feel his sincerity and kindness.
"Fifth brother~"
Mu Lige's eyes flickered indifferently towards the jade seal in Si Chengfeng's hand, her bony fingers tapping the desk intermittently, making a clattering sound. But in his star-like eyes, a hint of hesitation lingered, as if a meteor had streaked across them, like the first rays of dawn, a hint of haziness in their brightness.
Si Chengfeng, a man who could be ranked among the top ten richest people in Laifeng Country, made a jaw-dropping decision - to give all his property to him. The value of this gift was simply unimaginable.
And now, Su Mulige, as a man with a private army of 100,000 people, needs to invest huge amounts of money every day to maintain it. Faced with such tempting conditions, it is absolutely impossible not to be tempted. After all, who can resist the temptation of such astronomical wealth?
However, if he took away all of Si Chengfeng's property, wouldn't Si Chengfeng be left with nothing? Mu Lige knew that although Hua Qingcheng doted on the men in her backyard, as a man, he couldn't live without money, even if he was just a man living in the backyard.
"This gift is too precious, brother... I can't accept it." Mu Lige picked up the jade seal from Si Chengfeng's hand, carefully put it back into the box, covered it, and pushed it back in front of Si Chengfeng.
"Brother, the Si family is a century-old family with complex connections behind it. It's not easy to deal with. Chengfeng has worked so hard in business for many years because he wants to bring down the Si family one day."
Si Chengfeng stood up from his seat, turned his head and looked towards the south of the city, his eyes full of coldness.
"Now, Si Tianyu is about to be executed by slow slicing, Nangong Chen will soon face exile, and Si Lingyun in the East Palace is also at my mercy. More than 80% of the Si family's shops, houses, and fields have fallen into Chengfeng's hands through various means..."
Si Chengfeng closed his eyes slightly, then opened them again and continued, "Chengfeng is not greedy for money. I do all this just to avenge my father. Now Si Tianyu and Nangong Chen are both imprisoned, the Si family has collapsed, and my father's revenge has been achieved. To Chengfeng, all this money is just a bunch of hindrances. But big brother is different. You have ambitions, aspirations, and aspirations. Only in your hands can these things be better utilized."
While Si Chengfeng was speaking, he had already returned to his seat and pushed the box back in front of Mu Lige.
"Fifth brother, I am very grateful to you, but I cannot be so selfish and leave you with nothing..." Mu Lige's eyes flashed with tears. His younger brothers were actually very good.
"Brother, you really underestimated Chengfeng!"
Si Chengfeng took out a folding fan from his bosom and waved it lightly, looking very casual and unrestrained. But he smiled faintly while holding the fan, and his pair of silky eyes were full of cunning light.
"Money is but a dead thing. This place, Chengfeng, is the most precious place."
Si Chengfeng pointed to his head and gave Mu Lige a look that could only be understood but not expressed in words. It was just making money. To him, it was simple. If he wanted it, he would do it.
"Fifth brother, what you said is absolutely right!"
Mu Lige smiled brightly. Si Chengfeng was so sincere that it would be hypocritical for him to refuse.
Mu Lige already had a face that could captivate everyone, and coupled with that intoxicating smile, she made Si Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her, stare at her infatuated.
But Mu Lige's eyes were as bright as stars, his gaze deep and blazing, as if he could see through all obstacles and see into your heart. His nose was straight, with beautiful lines, as if it had been carved by a knife.
At this moment, Mu Lige's sharp lips curled slightly, and the smile on his face seemed like a divine light descending from heaven, like a delicate flower blooming on his face. That smile was like a spring breeze, comfortable and cozy, and like the sun shining, bright and warm.
Deeply impressed by Mu Lige, Si Chengfeng's throat rolled slightly as he swallowed back a hint of panic. Such a man of fallen immortality would be loved by women, even a man like him would be moved. No wonder his wife was so deeply in love with Mu Lige.
"Fifth brother, you...what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Mu Lige, who had no idea that her beauty was making people uneasy, looked at Si Chengfeng, who was sitting opposite her, with confusion.
"Brother, it's late. You should go to bed early and don't read too late."
Uncomfortable under Mu Lige's intense gaze, Si Chengfeng suddenly jumped up from his chair, said goodbye to Mu Lige, and hurried away. He nearly fell as he stepped over the threshold, and then he saw him fleeing.
Mu Lige:......
I am not a big tiger and I don’t eat people!
