One hundred thousand taels is an astronomical figure for most people, and it is also for Mu Jin.
But if she sold the jewelry Su Yi gave her, it would be enough, Mu Jin thought to herself.
Thinking of this, Mu Jin immediately turned around happily and said to Eleven, "New Year's Eve is in a few days. After New Year's Eve, I will accompany you to Nangong Shenzong to ask for medicine. Don't worry, it will definitely cure your amnesia."
When Shiyi heard that Mu Jin wanted to go with him to the Nangong Shenzong to seek medicine, his heart pounded with anxiety. He whispered to Mu Jin, "I'm not going!"
This was the first time that Shiyi had refused Mu Jin, and what's more, he refused Mu Jin's offer to treat his amnesia, which surprised Mu Jin.
When Shiyi heard Su Yi talk about the Nangong Shenzong, he was in a daze. He never expected that the Nangong Shenzong would make a fortune by selling pills, and he never expected that Mu Jin would be willing to spend 100,000 taels of silver to treat his amnesia.
Seeing that his reaction was too strong and fearing that Mu Jin would be displeased, Eleven pursed his lips and glanced at Mu Jin cautiously.
“I am not worth 100,000 taels of silver. Miss, you don’t need to take me to seek medicine. I think I am already very good as I am now, and I am very satisfied with the life you have given me.”
Mu Jin frowned when she heard what Eleven said.
Mu Jin disliked how much Eleven regarded her.
"What do you mean you're not worth it? If I say you are, then you are!"
When Shiyi heard Mu Jin say this, he felt both happy and sad. He clenched his fists nervously, lowered his head, and looked distressed.
Mu Jin noticed that Eleven was not feeling well, and considering that Su Yi was still present, there was no point in continuing the conversation, so she stopped discussing the treatment with Eleven.
Mu Jin calmed herself down and toasted Su Yi again with tea instead of wine: "Thank you again, King Yi. I will definitely be going to the Nangong Divine Sect. I will need your help to find someone to guide me."
Su Yi smiled wickedly, glanced at Eleven, then turned to Mu Jin and said, "Of course, A Jin, you don't need to be so polite with me."
Mu Jin and Su Yi enjoyed their meal quite well. It was late afternoon when they parted ways. In front of the Shi Ding Lou restaurant, they praised each other before going their separate ways.
As soon as Su Yi left, Mu Jin looked at Eleven with a serious expression.
"Tell me, what exactly happened? I've noticed that you've been acting strange ever since you came back from that bandit's den. Why don't you want to get your amnesia treated?"
Eleven hesitated, not wanting to lie to Mu Jin, but he didn't want Mu Jin to know that he had regained his memories for the time being.
If Mu Jin finds out that he has regained his memory and asks him about the past, what should he say?
Faced with Mu Jin's questioning, Eleven chose to lower his head and remain silent.
Mu Jin had no choice but to soften her tone when faced with this situation.
"Okay, if you don't want to talk about it now, you don't have to. I won't force you. But you should know that I just want to help you. If you've thought it through and want to talk to me, then come find me."
After Mu Jin finished speaking, she helped Qing'er into the carriage. Eleven stood in front of the Shi Ding Lou restaurant and sighed softly before getting into the carriage as well. She then whipped her horse and rode back to the Yun Wang Mansion.
As soon as Mu Jin returned to the Yunwang Mansion, she saw Su Yuntian standing at the gate waiting for her.
When Su Yuntian saw Mu Jin get off the carriage, he went to greet her personally, and she looked at him with concern.
"Where did you go this afternoon? Your hand injury hasn't healed yet. The imperial physician told you to rest more. You came back so late. Did you eat?"
Hearing Su Yuntian's barrage of questions, Mu Jin was momentarily confused, wondering what he was up to. She frowned and asked Su Yuntian.
"What business does Your Highness have with me?"
Seeing that Mu Jin was unmoved by his concern and even frowned as if she was disgusted, Su Yuntian said to Mu Jin, "It's cold outside, let's go back to the manor first."
Seeing that Su Yuntian seemed unwilling to stay and talk, Mu Jin nodded and walked towards the Green Bamboo Courtyard, with Su Yuntian following closely behind.
Inside the Green Bamboo Courtyard, Su Yuntian told Mu Jin that Guangfu, unable to withstand severe torture, confessed to hiring assassins twice to kill Mu Jin, and that both incidents were related to him.
Mu Jin already knew these things, so she asked, "Anything else?"
Su Yuntian glanced at Mu Jin and said, "Also, he doesn't acknowledge Qianqian as his daughter. He's always been a servant in the Shen household, and Qianqian is his master. That's why he wants to get rid of you and make Qianqian the principal wife. Besides—"
"Anything else?" Mu Jin asked.
"Furthermore, last time I asked him to take you to Hanshan Village, he sent two servants to humiliate you, and then... then he caused you to jump off a cliff."
After hearing this, Mu Jin sneered, "Alright, I know everything. I'm tired now, Your Highness. Please leave."
Su Yuntian felt a little guilty when he thought about how he had ordered Mu Jin to be sent to Hanshan Village.
"I misunderstood you back then and sent you to Cold Mountain Village. It was my fault. I won't do that again. I will treat you well and trust you."
"Stop! Su Yuntian, how many times have I told you? There is absolutely no possibility between us. Please don't say these things again. I just find it funny. If you really care about me, then divorce me as soon as possible."
At this moment, Su Yuntian was utterly detestable to Mu Jin, and she felt that even saying another word to him was a waste of time.
Hearing Mu Jin say this, Su Yuntian's face darkened. He also raised his voice.
"Don't ever mention divorce to me again. As long as I don't wish for it, you will be the Princess Consort of the Yun Prince's Mansion for the rest of your life, and you will always be my woman! I forbid you from mentioning divorce again!"
Upon hearing Su Yuntian's words, Mu Jin sneered.
"Then let's see if I can successfully divorce you without your consent?"
Hearing Mu Jin's words, Su Yun's eyes turned red with anger, and he stared intently at Mu Jin.
Mu Jin met his gaze, but her eyes were completely devoid of emotion.
After a long while, Su Yuntian gave up in defeat. He looked at Mu Jin and murmured, "What will it take for you to forgive me?"
Mu Jin did not answer him, because the answer was that no matter what, she would never forgive Su Yuntian again.
Mu Jin didn't want to waste any more words with Su Yuntian. She scoffed and turned to Qing'er coldly.
"It's late, I'm tired, and I don't have time to entertain Your Highness. Please leave the Green Bamboo Courtyard!"
After speaking, Su Yuntian looked at Mu Jin and resolutely went into the room, closing the door behind him. He treated Mu Jin as if she were a complete stranger, just as he had treated her many times before.
As the new day began, the streets and alleys, teahouses and theaters of the capital were filled with news of what had happened at the gate of Prince Yun's mansion the previous day.
Some say that Consort De raised the daughter of the servant who cheated on her brother for over ten years. If her brother knew, he would probably be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave and spit blood at her.
Some people also say that the concubine of Prince Yun's mansion is an illegitimate child born from her mother's affair. It turns out that no one cares about status or position when a concubine becomes a concubine of Prince Yun's mansion. Prince Yun even suppressed the principal wife for the sake of this illegitimate child. Prince Yun is really too magnanimous.
The news spread quickly throughout the capital and soon reached Yongning Palace in the palace! Consort De was furious and, in a fit of rage, fainted due to a stroke.
