When Shen Lansui heard this laugh, she looked over faintly. She wanted to glare at him and give him some color, but as soon as she saw Lu Xingyue's face, she remembered the secret play picture she had seen.
Her ears started to feel hot, and she turned away in defeat.
Guanchun brought the candied fruit over and said, "Madam, eat it quickly."
Shen Lansui immediately went down the steps, took a small plate and ate one.
The candied fruit pulp was soft, with a moderate sweetness and sourness, which instantly dissipated the bitter taste in her mouth. She relaxed her brows and relaxed her body against the soft cushions.
She ate one piece after another, her eyebrows curled up, as if she was not eating candied fruits, but some kind of delicacy.
Lu Xingyue looked at the porcelain white plate containing the preserves, slightly confused.
"Sir, it's time for you to take medicine."
Guan Chun brought another bowl of medicine to him.
Lu Xingyue took it and drank it in one gulp without hesitation.
Shen Lansui asked curiously: "Were you in the study just now? Why did you come back so late?"
Lu Xingyue didn't answer, he frowned, put down the bowl and waved to Guanchun.
Guan Chun understood and immediately retreated.
"Do you... feel bitter too?" Shen Lansui saw his solemn face and seemed speechless, and tentatively put the plate in front of him, "Would you like to eat?"
Lu Xingyue looked at her, reached out, pinched one and put it into his mouth.
Shen Lansui felt a little distressed. There were only a few of them, but he took away the biggest one.
Lu Xingyue: "..."
He looked at Shen Lansui with a half-smile, which was indeed very sweet.
Seeing that Shen Lansui was about to retract his hand, he quickly took another one.
Shen Lansui: "???"
Isn’t your tongue broken? I didn’t see you eating it last time either.
"Uncle Cai's residence just delivered the dowry. Zhou Quan took the list and counted it. He spent some time and made sure it was OK before giving it to me."
Lu Xingyue took out the folder from his sleeve pocket and handed it to her before she could say anything.
When Shen Lansui heard that he was rich, he no longer cared about the candied fruit, so he took it and looked at it carefully.
This time, the people in the uncle's house didn't cheat anymore, and gave everything they should give. Judging from the standards of a concubine, it was completely enough. It may be that her words had an effect. The eldest lady also added a lot of things, which was comparable to Daughter.
She looked down the rows and saw that there were two shops accompanying them, and her eyes froze.
The best way to make money is to open a shop. Land is very valuable in Yangdu. Buying a shop by yourself will cost a lot of money, but if you have your own shop, you will save money.
The other ones were all dead money, but these two shops were the most popular with her.
"If you like something, ask Zhou Quan to give you the key to the warehouse. You can keep it in the future. You can take whatever you want."
After Lu Xingyue finished speaking, he picked up the tea cup and started drinking.
"Huh?" Shen Lansui came back to her senses, put her hands on the low table, and looked at him curiously, "You just gave me the key to the warehouse? You trust me so much?"
That's not an ordinary thing, it's a warehouse! All his savings are in it.
"I promised that as long as you are my wife for a day, you will enjoy my money and status." Lu Xingyue put down the tea cup, his eyes were as calm as water, without any waves.
"Okay, since you treat me with sincerity, I can't let you suffer. If I make money in the future, half of it for each of us will be used as my borrowing fee."
Shen Lansui looked at the dowry list again and put it in a drawer on the side.
"It's getting late. I'll help you apply the medicine. Shall we rest?"
"Thank you." Lu Xingyue took out the ointment and sat by the bed waiting for her.
When Shen Lansui got up from the end of the bed and knelt down behind Lu Xingyue, the picture on the secret play picture flashed through his mind at an inappropriate time.
There is a page where the woman kneels behind her, raises her hand and slips it in from the man's loose clothes, and the two kiss in this position...
Shen Lansui suddenly came to his senses and patted his face.
What are you thinking about?
She is a serious person, and so is Lu Xingyue. Shut your head!
"Huh?" Seeing that she didn't move, Lu Xingyue couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. As a result, he only saw a corner of his sleeve before someone slapped him in the face.
"Turn around."
Shen Lansui said somewhat uncomfortably.
Lu Xingyue: "..."
The little hands on his face were warm and soft. Compared with his calloused hands, they were as smooth as silk, with a faint floral fragrance.
His Adam's apple rolled and he breathed slightly.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Shen Lansui asked softly: "I'm sorry, did I hit you hard?"
Lu Xingyue pursed his lower lip and said in a slightly deeper voice, "No."
"That's good. I'll give you the medicine. Don't move."
"Um."
Once was born, twice is cooked, this time the medicine was applied faster. Shen Lansui washed her hands after applying it, and turned off the light when she came back.
Everything is amplified infinitely in the darkness, whether it's hearing or feeling.
Lu Xingyue closed his eyes.
The person next to him finally lay down. Shen Lansui covered herself with a quilt, patted her and said softly: "Sleep well."
"good sleep."
Lu Xingyue breathed out silently.
…
Lu Xingyue disappeared early the next morning. Shen Lansui didn't ask and ate his own food. Zhou Quan came over just after dinner.
"Madam, this is the key to the warehouse. Keep it."
Shen Lansui reached out to take it and said with a smile: "Can you please take me to the warehouse to have a look."
"I don't need to bother you with my duties, Madam." Zhou Quan said with a smile, "Madam, please——"
Shen Lansui took Spring Viewing and Summer Viewing around the warehouse. There were very few things in it. Most of them were gold and silver. There were also some gifts from the emperor. They were used in daily life. They were basically placed in the room. Inside.
"Well...really quite poor."
Shen Lan held her forehead, and the pile of dowries with happy words on them seemed to be too much.
Guan Chun was puzzled, "Isn't this a lot of gold and silver?"
"There are many people in the Duke's Mansion, and there are many things to manage and spend. The money can only be used for a period of time, and it is really not much in comparison." Shang Xia explained.
Zhou Quan rubbed his hands and said awkwardly: "Actually, it's not that the young master is poor. The salary and money that the young master received before were all shared with his family. Later... he saved some money and paid it all out after the death of his ex-wife."
Shen Lansui raised her eyebrows: "Did you pay for it?"
Realizing that he had said too much, Zhou Quan patted his mouth and looked at Shen Lansui with a stern look.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you live, you can still make money."
Shen Lansui didn't mean to ask further questions. He picked out some things from his dowry and said, "I will divide these among the people in the courtyard later and tell them that if you work hard, you will be rewarded. If you cheat, you will be with Li." One win and the other end."
"Yes." Zhou Quan said from the bottom of his heart: "Madam is really considerate."
Shen Lansui shook his head, turned around and left the warehouse.
For the next few days, she stayed in her room to recover from her injuries. The wounds on her heart were almost healed thanks to the nourishment of the supernatural power, and the wounds on her arms were even lighter and had already scabbed over.
The eldest lady didn't make any more trouble. She made such a fuss and she didn't even ask.
Shen Lan was so happy that she chose a sunny afternoon to go out to see her shop.
