Lin Shuning turned his head and saw Jiang Yu and Chen Zhao walking in slowly.

She forced a smile and said, "Then I won't be polite. Thank you, Your Highness Prince Rui."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows, smiling: "In that case, why don't you please do me a favor and come upstairs to sit with me?"

Lin Shuning was startled and looked up. As expected, he saw some expensive private rooms on the second floor. No wonder the royal children would come here. It was really secretive and grand.

Since she had already eaten the meal ordered by the other party, she didn't want to offend him. She also wanted to ask what happened at the engagement party that day.

Lin Shuning smiled and said, "Then I will respectfully obey your command?"

Jiang Yu looked at her mischievous appearance, feeling in a good mood, and walked upstairs.

The servant had changed his expression and made a flattering gesture of invitation. Lin Shuning shrugged and followed him, secretly swearing in his heart that he must make a lot of money.

Without money, even a waiter in a restaurant looks down on him.

When she arrived at the box, Lin Shuning sat down. It was not until she met Jiang Yu face to face that she was surprised to find that Jiang Yu looked very bad. She remembered what she had heard a few days ago and said with a smile: "Since your stomach is not good, eat less greasy food. When the dishes are served later, I will eat more for Your Highness."

Jiang Yu curled his lips and smiled: "Okay, eat as much as you want."

Lin Shuning nodded: "But I told you in advance that I don't want to cooperate with you. I just want to fill my stomach. If you have this idea, I'm afraid it will fail."

"Don't worry, if Miss Third doesn't want to, I will never force you in broad daylight."

"That's good."

Lin Shuning could just see the busy main street from the hollow window of the restaurant. As a prince, he had to consider his reputation. She felt at ease, and then she thought of something. She looked up and asked, "Why did you say that I didn't need to make money this way at the engagement party that day? How did you know..."

Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the waiter who was serving the dishes: "The dishes are here, please enjoy your meal, sir."

More than a dozen steaming hot dishes were served one after another. Lin Shuning's attention was instantly attracted to them. He stared at them intently, forgetting what he wanted to ask just now.

Lin Shuning smiled, his eyes curved, picked up his chopsticks, took a deep breath of the rice aroma without caring about his image, and said, "Your Highness Prince Rui, I won't be polite then."

Jiang Yu made a gesture of invitation, and Lin Shuning picked up his chopsticks without hesitation and started to eat with relish.

The girl's delicate cheeks were puffy and moved all the time, making her look particularly cute and lively.

Jiang Yuguang felt a little relieved as he watched the food. He had lost his appetite for a long time, but now he couldn't help but pick up his chopsticks. He even felt that the food was particularly delicious.

Chen Zhao, who was standing aside, was so excited to see that his master finally had an appetite to eat that he burst into tears. If there had not been outsiders in the box, he would have burst into tears on the spot.

The food on the table was quickly eaten up. Lin Shuning leaned back in his chair and burped with satisfaction.

Ah, the food that doesn’t cost money is delicious.

Jiang Yu picked up the towel and wiped his mouth, then glanced at Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao understood and carried the box that had been prepared long ago to Lin Shuning's feet.

"I was seriously injured some time ago, and it was all thanks to the Third Miss for her help. Due to various reasons, I was not able to thank the Third Miss in person before. Now that I have the opportunity, I naturally have to express my gratitude. I hope the Third Miss can accept these gifts of thanks." Jiang Yu's tone was light, but the corners of his lips curled up in a charming and beautiful arc.

The "ding" sound of the word "thank you" perked up Lin Shuning. She was delighted and quickly opened the box at her feet. What she saw was a dazzling array of jewellery, agate and jade, all of which were sparkling, exquisite and unique, and obviously worth a lot of money.

Lin Shuning appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was already in turmoil.

Xiaobai was running around excitedly inside the bracelet. If Lin Shuning hadn't restrained him, he would have rushed out and danced.

These royal children were very generous and they casually gave away such a big box of gifts.

If all these jewellery were converted into cash, it would probably bring in a large sum of money, so the clinic wouldn't have to worry about the money for buying medicinal materials.

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, and was about to smile, but he saw the beautiful woman opposite him closing the box. She raised her beautiful eyes and smiled calmly, "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness Prince Rui, but this thank-you gift is too expensive. I can't accept it. What's more, I didn't do anything. It was Your Highness Prince Rui who recovered quickly. This meal is enough as a thank-you gift. It is worth a lot of money."

Lin Shuning stood up and bowed politely: "Thank you, Your Highness, Prince Rui, for inviting me to dinner today. It's getting late, so I'll go back first."

After saying this, he took Lian'er out of the restaurant without looking back.

Xiao Bai's eyes were glued to the treasure chest, and he cried anxiously, "Host, what are you doing? You don't even want the free money!"

Lin Shuning replied in his heart: "No merit, no reward. The windfall is very hot, I can't accept it. If I accept it, what if the King Rui relies on me?"

Although this money is enough, her life is definitely more valuable. If her life is gone, everything is gone.

As luck would have it, she happened to pass by Jiang Che when she went out. Lin Shuning wanted to pretend that she didn't know him, but unexpectedly Jiang Che stopped and asked in surprise, "The Third Miss of the Shangshu Mansion?"

Lin Shuning looked embarrassed and quickly saluted: "My daughter greets His Royal Highness Prince Rong. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Jiang Che nodded and looked at her back suspiciously. Chen Zhao came down from upstairs, patted him on the shoulder, and told him what had just happened upstairs.

Jiang Che couldn't help but laugh out loud. His sixth brother, who had never been interested in women, was rejected just as he learned how to give gifts to women.

He put his hands on his hips and laughed twice. It seemed that in some ways, he was still better than his sixth brother.

Just as he was feeling secretly proud of himself, a walnut flew down from the upstairs and hit him right between the eyebrows. He grimaced in pain and was about to curse, but when he raised his eyes, he saw Jiang Yu looking at him coldly through the screen.

Jiang Che immediately smiled awkwardly, went upstairs without stopping, and reported everything he had investigated to Jiang Yu. Then he said, "My mother is very worried about you. She has mentioned you to me several times. If you have time tonight, go to the palace to see my mother."

Jiang Yu lowered his eyes and responded in a low voice.

Jiang Che completed his task, and sat down in the seat where Lin Shuning had just sat, as if relaxed, and poured himself a cup of tea.

Jiang Yu suddenly said, "Tell me, why would someone want money but not the jewelry given to her by others?"

Jiang Che spat out the tea he had just taken with a "puff" sound.

Someone? Someone else?

He tried hard to hold back his mouth that was about to grin to his ears. How could it be someone else? It's just you and the third lady of the Shangshu Mansion, Lin Shuning!

"Ahem..." He cleared his throat, and finally managed to hold back his laughter. He said seriously, "That must be because you, Sixth Brother, didn't give enough or good enough gifts. They don't like them. Let me, the military advisor, take a look for you."

He opened the box at his feet, and as soon as he opened it, Jiang Che's eyes immediately focused on a pair of pendants with gold filigree dragon playing with pearls.

Although the pair of pendants were exquisite and beautiful, what really caught Jiang Che's eyes were the several round and flawless luminous pearls of the same size inlaid in the dragon's eyes and body. They seemed to be condensed or frozen, quiet and clear, and translucent.

This was the famous artist's posthumous work that he had always wanted to get, but he didn't expect that his sixth brother actually had it!

Jiang Che narrowed his eyes, raised his eyes and said: "This military advisor has already made a decision."

Jiang Yu raised his eyebrows.

"This is a case of playing hard to get!" Jiang Che said seriously, "The third young lady of the Shangshu Mansion must like Sixth Brother!"
