The legitimate daughter is reborn and cannot escape after being provoked by the tyrant

Liu Jingwen held the booklet in his hand, remaining silent for a long time.

The shopkeeper spoke slowly and deliberately, saying softly, "Our boss says that Lord Liu is a capable man, and these things are no problem for him. He believes that in the near future, you will definitely return the principal and interest in full."

"After all, our boss is a businessman who never does business at a loss."

Even so, Liu Jingwen knew perfectly well that this was a statement the Empress had given him to make him feel better.

She knew his predicament, and she was helping him quietly in her own way, even thoughtfully finding excuses to avoid hurting his self-esteem.

After a while, Liu Jingwen suddenly grabbed the booklet and looked up at the shopkeeper in front of him: "Go back and tell your boss that I have accepted the things. I will not thank her for her kindness. I will definitely repay her with interest in the future."

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "That's right, Lord Liu is a wise man."

I thought he was going to leave after he finished talking about this, but to my surprise, he took out a booklet and put it in Liu Jingwen's hand.

When Liu Jingwen opened it, he found another substantial betrothal gift.

Liu Jingwen looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"That was lent to Lord Liu and needs to be returned. This is a dowry gift from our master to Miss Lin and doesn't need to be returned."

"A dowry should be sent to the Minister's residence, not to me."

"The master said that the Minister's mansion would certainly have a dowry, and there are countless people who want to add to Miss Lin's dowry, so she won't join in the fun. It's the same with Lord Liu; it will all go to Miss Lin in the end."

After finishing his sentence, the shopkeeper bowed to Liu Jingwen, turned around, and left with an air of nonchalance.

Liu Jingwen stood there for a long time, holding the two booklets in his hands, and finally smiled.

He could pay back the money Lin Jiuqing lent him in three to five years if he worked hard and saved a little. But if he included the so-called dowry, it would take him ten years to pay it back.

She deliberately divided these into two parts so that Liu Jingwen wouldn't feel too much pressure.

With both gifts combined, this dowry is quite sincere.

Liu Jingwen chuckled and shook his head: "I owe this favor a lot."

I don't know when I'll be able to pay it all off.

Lan Yin Hall.

Chen Yuan came in from outside, carrying snacks she had bought from the street.

When Yingyue saw her arrive, she set out a chair and added more tea, then quietly stepped aside.

Lin Jiuqing held up a piece of pink fabric and waved to Chen Yuan when she saw her: "A Yuan, come over and help me choose."

Chen Yuan put down what she was carrying, glanced at the pile of fabrics on the table, and then looked at what she was holding: "What is sister going to do?"

"Let the people from the Imperial Household Department do it. Why do you have to do it yourself? Don't ruin your eyesight."

Lin Jiuqing: "Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well find something to do. Oh, can you help me choose which color looks best?"

Despite asking that question, he kept holding onto the pink fabric tightly.

Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Does your sister like pink?"

Lin Jiuqing was taken aback, then rolled her eyes at her: "I made this for Azheng."

She thought that young girls should dress in pink and delicate colors to look pretty.

When Chen Yuan heard that it was made for her daughter, her expression turned somewhat strange.

Although the girl had been raised by Lin Jiuqing since childhood and hadn't had much contact with him, judging from their daily interactions, Yang Zheng... seemed to prefer black.
