At this moment, facing her, the eldest daughter of the Duke's family, his eyes were calm and unwavering, showing neither flattery nor contempt, but only a businesslike distance.
Moreover, at this moment, Broken Ink represents the attitude of the Sixth Princess, who holds the power of life and death over her.
Zheng Huiyin was overwhelmed with mixed feelings, but she forcibly suppressed them, only a fleeting, elusive ripple passing through the depths of her eyes.
Without saying a word, she took out a thick brocade pouch from her bosom.
Inside was a stack of silver notes, a few thin land deeds, and a handwritten letter.
"Lord Suimo, in this haste, I really don't have that much cash on me."
Part of the settlement was secured by two prime shops in the city and a manor in the suburbs.
You can verify it; the total value is no less than 150,000 taels.
"This letter..." She pointed to the sealed letter with her fingertip.
"It is a transfer contract written by my own hand. With the Princess's mansion's methods, even if I am not present, the transfer of the contract should be completed smoothly."
Sui Mo remained outwardly calm, but a hint of surprise flashed through his mind.
Firstly, Zheng Huiyin dared to come in person late at night, and she had just checked that no one was following her, which showed she had some courage.
Secondly, she was so decisive and straightforward that she revealed all her bargaining chips before even discussing the terms in detail.
This is nothing but a full 150,000 taels of silver! And it was given to us without any promises being made?
Something unusual must be going on. Why would someone go to such lengths just because they weren't on the list?
Sui Mo sighed inwardly, regretting that her Highness did not have a reliable intelligence network. If Lord Yin Zhe were still in the manor, he might be able to find out something.
Although they couldn't figure out what had happened, they could clearly sense the do-or-die aura emanating from Zheng Huiyin.
He accepted the brocade pouch without any hesitation, and by the dim candlelight inside the carriage, his fingertips quickly traced the silver notes and then examined the land deed.
He mentally estimated that what she said was true; the total value of this pile of things was definitely over 150,000 taels.
Even though it wasn't the first time, Sui Mo still felt a strong sense of absurdity.
Good heavens, another two hundred thousand taels of silver have come into the account.
The speed at which Your Highness makes money... it's as if there are always people rushing to throw money into her arms.
It didn't seem like she put in much effort, and the money just kept piling up on her.
It's only been a few days since His Highness returned to the capital, and the old prince's manor, which His Highness has been longing for, is almost half-finished.
"Confirmed."
Sui Mo carefully put away the brocade pouch, his expression remaining calm.
Who understands? These days, tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands pass through hands without causing any stir in my heart.
Zheng Huiyin nodded slightly, then took out a second letter sealed with wax from her sleeve and solemnly handed it over with both hands.
"This letter must be personally delivered to His Highness the Sixth Prince by Lord Suimo..."
