"Mother, you should go there quickly."
"Don't worry about me, I'm with my uncle."
Don't worry, Uncle will take good care of me.
As Gu Jinxi spoke, she looked up at Shen Hechuan.
"Isn't that right, Uncle?"
As he spoke, he winked at Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan gritted his teeth and nodded with a dark face.
"yes."
"Don't worry, I will take good care of Jinxi."
However, his voice sounded somewhat like he was gritting his teeth.
*****
Luo Ziqian led Gu Jingchun to the depths of the peach grove.
There is a huge peach tree here.
The branches and leaves are lush, and the peach blossoms are dense and numerous, making it very beautiful.
Gu Jingchun stood under the tree, peach petals falling in the wind, landing on her body and face, making her breathtakingly beautiful, so much so that Luo Ziqian couldn't take his eyes off her.
He looked at her and unconsciously murmured something to himself.
"Jingchun, you..."
Gu Jingchun spoke up at this moment.
"you……"
They both spoke at the same time, and then stopped at the same time.
Luo Ziqian smiled and spoke first.
"You go first."
Gu Jingchun smiled, then reached into his sleeve, took out a piece of paper, opened it, and handed it to Luo Ziqian.
"These are a few shops I just acquired. Young Master Luo, you may take a look."
Luo Ziqian took it, looked up with some confusion, and heard Gu Jingchun continue:
"I told you before that I would help you with your business after we get married."
"These shops are my initial investment."
In addition, I will give you another ten thousand taels of silver as capital, which can be considered your start-up capital and a reward for our marriage.
"remuneration?"
Luo Ziqian frowned, his face turning several shades paler.
His heart felt as if it had fallen into an abyss, sinking ever lower.
Gu Jingchun nodded.
"right."
"If it weren't for you, His Majesty wouldn't have granted us this marriage."
Then I wouldn't have been able to get out of the quagmire of the Yong'an Marquis's mansion so quickly.
So, strictly speaking, you have done me a favor.
However, marrying me will not enhance your reputation in any way.
Therefore, this ten thousand taels is both a token of gratitude and compensation.
Moreover, after she "dies," people in Tiandu City will inevitably label him as a jinx who brings misfortune to his wife, which can be considered compensation for him.
Luo Ziqian chuckled softly upon hearing this.
"Oh……"
"Miss Gu is really generous."
He took a step back as he spoke.
"I had no idea that I was so valuable that Miss Gu would take out so many shops and so much money."
Gu Jingchun didn't quite understand what he meant.
Wasn't this agreed upon from the beginning?
But why does Luo Ziqian look angry?
Could it be that the money wasn't enough?
So, Gu Jingchun looked at his expression and tentatively spoke.
"If you're not satisfied, I can add a little more money for you."
"As for these shops, they are all in good locations. As long as you manage them carefully, you will definitely make a profit."
After all, she had carefully prepared these shops.
However, she was in a hurry to get away and couldn't get a good price for the shop. Rather than letting someone else profit from it, she might as well give the shop to Luo Ziqian directly.
Upon hearing this, Luo Ziqian's expression darkened even further.
He glared at Gu Jingchun, his face showing rare anger.
"You... in your eyes, is there nothing but money?"
Luo Ziqian recalled his conversation with Shen Hechuan in the woods just now.
Even after learning that Gu Jingchun was the woman in Shen Hechuan's heart, he did not give up.
Instead, he looked directly into Shen Hechuan's eyes and said firmly:
"I don't care what your relationship was before, but now she's my fiancée, so she's mine."
I will never let go of her hand unless he leaves on his own.
"Even if you are the crown prince, I will not let go because of this."
He thought at the time, "Where there's a will, there's a way."
Even if Gu Jingchun doesn't have feelings for him now, she must have some affection for him. One day, she will be moved by him.
However, he was ultimately affected by this sudden news.
Therefore, he was eager to bring the person here, wanting to make things clear and, more importantly, to express his feelings.
But before she could even utter a word, Gu Jingchun poured cold water on her enthusiasm.
And at this moment, on the peach tree.
The two children, one big and one small, were lying among the dense flowers, carefully watching the two people under the tree.
Seeing Luo Ziqian suddenly become angry, Gu Jinxi, standing to the side, asked in a low voice, somewhat puzzled:
"Uncle, why is Uncle Luo suddenly angry?"
Doesn't he like money and shops?
Shen Hechuan, who was standing beside him, was in a good mood when he learned that the two were getting married because of money and shops. Hearing this, he explained:
That's because he doesn't understand your mother's thoughts.
Gu Jinxi was still puzzled.
"But isn't he my future father?"
"The storybooks all say that husband and wife are connected in spirit, how could he not understand my mother's thoughts?"
How can someone who doesn't understand my mother's thoughts be my father?
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan's eyes lit up, and he had an idea.
"That means he's not fit to be your father."
As he spoke, he continued to guide the conversation gently:
"Then why don't you get your mother a new father?"
Gu Jinxi pouted, thought for a while, and then slowly shook her head.
