The emperor suddenly sent these two eunuchs to question him. The questions they asked were so inconsistent. What did they mean
Rao Shili Zhixing thought he was smart, but he was also confused and could not figure out the meaning of Shen Ning's words.
Could it be that the drawings were stolen and the emperor was still doubting himself
But this morning's imperial edict clearly sent Chu Shaoyang to prison and convicted him. Could something have happened again
However, he observed Shen Ning's expression and found that the emperor did not seem to doubt himself. If he really doubted himself, he would never send two young eunuchs to question him. The emperor would have called him into the palace and interrogated him personally.
Li Zhixing thought of the question Shen Ning asked him, and his heart fell back into his stomach. He was just a little eunuch who talked a lot but couldn't do anything well. What did he know!
Shen Ning and Xiao Ru turned the corner and came to a deserted place. Then she took out the red envelope that Li Zhixing handed to her from her sleeve, opened it and saw a thin piece of paper inside.
"How stingy!" Xiao Ru couldn't help but pursed her lips and recognized that it was a bank note from the largest bank in Kyoto.
But he was actually given one, which was only two hundred taels of silver at most.
"Are you stingy?" Shen Ning smiled slightly, took out the banknote and waved it in front of Xiaoru.
"My mother, it's actually gold! A whole hundred taels of gold!" Xiao Ru then realized that this was not a silver note, but a gold note of one hundred taels, and her eyes suddenly widened and shone brightly.
"Haha, I didn't expect that I would get a small windfall during my trip out of the palace. This Lord Li is really generous. He gave me one hundred taels of gold in one hand. Xiaoru, I'll give it to you."
Shen Ning handed the golden ticket to Xiao Ru with a smile.
"I can't take it, slave. This... this is too much." How dare Xiaoru accept it? This one hundred taels of gold is worth at least several thousand taels of silver.
"I said take it, take it, it's ill-gotten wealth anyway, I'll keep it for you as your dowry." Shen Ning smiled and put the gold ticket into Xiao Ru's hand.
Hearing the word "dowry", Xiaoru's face couldn't help but blush.
Of course she knew that in this era, a woman's dowry represented her status to some extent. She was a maid, and if she didn't have a dowry, she would be looked down upon by everyone in her husband's family after marrying into her husband's family.
But if the dowry is rich, people will look down upon you.
But she still returned the golden ticket to Shen Ning.
"Miss, I don't want you. I will never get married in this life. I will always follow you, miss. I won't marry anyone." She said firmly.
"Silly girl." Shen Ning smiled, put away the golden ticket, pinched her cheek, "Okay, then I will help you put it away first, and keep it for you when you get married."
Xiao Ru stomped her feet: "Miss, you always ask slaves to get married. It's because you think slaves are too stupid and you don't want slaves to serve you anymore, right?"
She flattened her mouth in grievance and almost cried.
Shen Ning smiled and said, "If I tell you to get married now, you will cry. In a few years, if I don't let you get married, you still don't know how you will cry, hehe."
Xiaoru's face turned red from being teased by her, and she wanted to cry and laugh at the same time, with tears welling up in her eyes.
"Okay, okay, I won't tease you anymore. My Xiaoru is so good, I can't bear to let you get married, so just stay with me. As long as you don't want to get married, I will never drive you away." Shen Ning rubbed her hair lovingly.
