Chapter 121 Regret
This is the imperial palace!
Even though Yun Zhao now has one thousand taels of gold, these gold ingots are still very important.
If a pharmacy was really opened and this gold was exchanged for medicine, I wonder how many lives could be saved.
Yun Zhao was sweating profusely while searching.
"You really value talent, is it really that serious?" Xie Jingmo stood at the door at some point, holding a black bag in his hand, which looked like silver.
Yun Zhao stood up straight, and drops of sweat from his forehead fell to his chin.
"Xie Jingmo, give it back to me!"
"Why do you say that I took the silver?"
Yun Zhao was filled with anger, but he suppressed it. "Xie General, your family is rich and powerful, so don't bother with me about these small amounts of money, okay? Concubine Yi's people are still waiting for me outside, just give me the gold."
Xie Jingmo was a little annoyed by Yun Zhao's cowardly and angry look. "It's just a few gold pieces, and you're so angry that your eyes are red."
Xie Jingmo wouldn't know.
She has her own private residence. Concubine Yi is not a stingy person, so I think her private residence will not be small.
She will sell her private house and buy a shop in the future. With this gold, she can help many people.
"Xie Jingmo, you've never been poor, so you don't know. Give me the gold."
Yun Zhao walked over, but Xie Jingmo had already raised his hand.
Yun Zhao was naturally not as tall as Xie Jingmo, and her eyes turned red with anxiety.
"Look at how you love money. So, if you give me a kiss, I'll give you the things."
Xie Jingmo revealed his former nature as a dissolute prince.
Yun Zhao stood there, motionless.
Tears accumulated in my eyes little by little.
After a long time, she finally said in a hoarse voice, suppressing her anger: "I don't want it anymore!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
Xie Jingmo still had the silver in his hand. He saw tears falling from Yun Zhao's eyes after he turned around.
He suddenly felt bored.
When he chased out, he found that Yun Zhao had gone back with the eunuch from Concubine Yi's palace.
He frowned and looked at the future. The palace gates were about to be locked.
He had no choice but to leave the palace first.
As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he saw the maid beside Lin Ruyu.
"General, the girl made a shawl for you. It's been cold at night lately, so you need to wear more clothes."
When the maid handed the shawl to Xie Jingmo, she saw what he was holding and took a look at it. "Is this a betrothal gift for our young lady?!"
These words have just fallen.
The curtain of the carriage outside was lifted, and Lin Ruyu's fair face appeared from inside.
There was still a hint of sickness on her face, but her tone couldn't hide her happiness. "Is it for me?"
Xie Jingmo paused for a moment.
Lin Ruyu had already gotten off the carriage. She walked up to Xie Jingmo, lowered her head, and whispered, "I originally just thought that since I was still sick, I would just see the general from afar. I hadn't thought about getting off the carriage. I never thought that the general would actually bring a betrothal gift with him. Ruyu is so grateful."
Xie Jingmo was about to speak.
Lin Ruyu pounced on him, stood on tiptoe, and kissed Xie Jingmo on the face.
Xie Jingmo was completely stunned.
Lin Ruyu smiled shyly, "Thank you for the betrothal gift, General. This is a done deal. In the future, please have someone choose an auspicious day and come to marry me."
Lin Ruyu said this happily, lowered her head, smiled shyly, and got on the carriage.
The maidservant carried the bag of gold and got on the carriage.
The carriage slowly moved away on the streets of Chang'an.
Xie Jingmo stood there, as if struck by lightning!
That night, Xie Jingmo did not return home.
I went to the military camp in a daze and washed my face as soon as I entered.
Deputy General Gao walked in and smiled, "Stop pretending. You must be so happy, right?"
Xie Jingmo turned his head, "What did you say?"
"We all saw it at the door. You took Yun Zhao's gold and gave it to Lin Ruyu as a betrothal gift. General, you are unmatched in killing people and destroying their hearts."
Xie Jingmo was upset and washed his face again, "I didn't say I was going to give it to her! I didn't even realize it!"
"Really?" Deputy General Gao didn't pay much attention. "But you're going to give it to me sooner or later, aren't you? Didn't you plan to make the deposit a long time ago? What difference does it make if it's one day earlier or later?"
The capital is different from the frontier, it is very leisurely here.
Lieutenant General Gao cracked melon seeds and said leisurely, "I saw a girl today and I think she's pretty good. I'll probably make a promise in the next few days and then pick an auspicious date to get married. General, I don't understand what you're hesitating about."
"Have you thought of everything?"
Xie Jingmo wiped his face, but still felt it wasn't clean. "You don't understand, that's Yun Zhao's money."
"So what?" Deputy General Gao said, "The gold doesn't have a name on it. Just give Yun Zhao another portion tomorrow. Does your general's mansion still need that little money?"
Xie Jingmo was depressed.
He didn't know what was wrong with him.
You should be happy.
You should feel happy too, right?
All he had ever wanted was to marry Lin Ruyu.
Now that everything has come to fruition, he still can't be happy.
All he could think about was how he had made Yun Zhao cry today and how sad she looked.
Lieutenant General Gao glanced at Xie Jingmo's frown, smiled, and asked, "General, we saw Lin Ruyu kiss you. I know what you're thinking. It's just that you feel Yun Zhao has been with you for seven years, and you can't bear it. But you should get married. I'll persuade her later. I'll tell her not to be delusional. Xie Jingmo has already slept with Lin Ruyu."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Jingmo glared at him.
Deputy General Gao smiled and changed his words, "No, we didn't sleep, we kissed."
Xie Jingmo continued to stare at Deputy General Gao with cold eyes.
Deputy General Gao blinked his eyes and said, "Yes, he did. Here." He pointed to his chin. "Why? You don't admit it? Several of us saw it."
Xie Jingmo was filled with anger, "Get lost!"
Deputy General Gao walked away with a chuckle.
Before leaving, he whispered, "General, I remember Yun Zhao said that I would only have her as my wife, and she would be the only one. She is a person who values her word the most. You should think carefully about this. Whether it's marriage or funeral, you should never regret your decision."
Xie Jingmo's eyes grew darker.
The night gradually deepened.
Everything outside became quiet.
Xie Jingmo lay in bed for a long time, then suddenly turned over and put on his coat neatly.
Deputy General Gao was counting stars outside.
Seeing Xie Jingmo coming out of the camp, he asked with a smile, "General, where are you going?"
Xie Jingmo walked into the darkness without saying a word.
He knocked on Lin Ruyu's door.
The maid looked at Xie Jingmo's face, paused for a long time, and then asked softly, "General...what's wrong?"
Xie Jingmo felt awkward.
I feel like I've never been so embarrassed in my life.
He didn't know how to start.
But he had to speak.
He asked in a low voice, "Is your young lady asleep?"
The maid looked at Xie Jingmo's face, which showed no joy at all, and said with a smile, "He's asleep. General, you have something to do. Why don't you come back tomorrow? Anyway, the deal has been made, and our young lady won't regret it. Don't worry, General."
