As he left, Yun An gave the old woman a sum of money and a bag full of gold leaves. Seeing her grateful expression, he deepened his gaze and said, "This is your reward for saving this princess."
It's also the money you use to save your lives.
The other party was completely unaware of the situation, only thinking that she was indeed a princess and was very generous, and kept thanking her!
Shen Ci stood aside without saying a word, only treating the injury. Given Yun An's arrogant nature, he would probably take it for granted and would never be so generous!
Something was definitely amiss. He glanced at the elderly couple's greedy expressions and a glint of malice flashed in his eyes.
This family is probably in for a major disaster.
After personally seeing the group off, the old woman changed her previous amiable demeanor, jogged home, and closed the door to keep out the prying eyes of the neighbors.
The old woman took out a gold leaf from her purse, bit it, and her eyes lit up: "It's real!"
The old man was overjoyed, his face beaming: "We've struck it rich!"
The grandson, as burly as a small mountain, stared at the bag of gold leaves, swallowed hard, and asked, "Grandpa, Grandma, can I get married now?"
He used to say that his family was poor and he couldn't afford to get a wife. Now that he has money, surely he can finally find a wife?
If he could marry a girl like that one, he'd probably be laughing in his sleep!
The old woman glared at him, a hint of amusement in her eyes: "Don't even mention getting married, you could marry ten or eight wives!"
Her eyes darkened, and she gave the old man a wink before the two went inside.
"Old man, that's a princess! If we get on this ship, we'll never have to worry about food and clothing for the rest of our lives!"
Seeing his wife's excited expression, the old man hesitated, his brows furrowing deeply: "Old woman, you yourself said she's a princess. How could we possibly be worthy of her? If this gets investigated, we could lose our heads..."
Before he could finish speaking, he was glared at fiercely: "Our family has already given away a granddaughter, and that can't be faked! As for whether the child has a birthmark on her arm, who can remember clearly after so long? I say she has one, so she has one!"
A glint of light flashed in the old woman's eyes.
It's said that her family's fortunes have turned around. A few days ago, she suddenly learned that the granddaughter she sold back then when her family was poor has now become a young lady from a wealthy family!
She immediately had an idea. A kind person gave her some money and told her to wait in the woods and put on a show!
The other party also told her about the plum blossom birthmark. The old woman thought that she could earn a lot of money just by saying a few words. Only a fool would not do it!
And that's how the scene that followed came about.
But when she accidentally learned that the other party was actually a princess, she felt somewhat unwilling. How much money did she earn from acting?
If one could establish a relationship with the princess, wouldn't one enjoy endless wealth and luxury in the future?

"The person has returned."
Yuan Zhao whispered a reminder to Shen Tangning.
She saw Princess Yun'an's carriage return to the princess's residence, then glanced at Shen Ci riding past towards the palace, and a slight smile appeared on her lips:
"Let's go back too."
She knew Yun Anding would investigate that family in secret, but she had specifically chosen this particular family, so she wasn't afraid of her investigation.
Yun'an was already feeling guilty, and after the investigation, he would probably be eager to get rid of this family!
Of course, this family was no pushover either. They were a group of people who had been poor for a long time. They had finally gotten a chance to rise to the top, so why would they let it go?
