My God of Wealth is a Short-lived Ghost

At this time, Wan Sutong and Su Qinghui had already boarded the carriage back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. After returning to the Prime Minister's Mansion, Wan Sutong could not wait to try how to bring Ye Minghua into the long whip.

The sound of the long whip cutting through the sky was like a poisonous tongue spitting out its message. As the whip danced, Wan Sutong found that the long whip seemed to come alive, and the snake scales seemed to breathe, opening and closing. It was hard to imagine what kind of horrific wounds would be left if it was whipped on the enemy.

After fully mastering the technique, Wan Sutong remembered the jade pendant Zhao Jinghua had given her. She then quickly took out the six-inch wooden box from her spiritual sea. When she opened it, she found a round white jade pendant with peonies and auspicious clouds carved on it, and a red tassel. Wan Sutong couldn't help but exclaim, "It's so exquisite, but when I look at this jade pendant... why does it look familiar?" As she finished speaking, Wan Sutong frowned slightly and looked at the jade pendant carefully, thinking about where she had seen it before.

The system chuckled and said, "It's like the kind of thing people wear around their waists when they get married in ancient times, right?"

Wan Sutong nodded continuously after hearing this, "Yes, yes, this tassel is too bright, it would be better if it was gray or blue." After saying that, Wan Sutong looked at the system, "How many points is this jade pendant worth?

But the system shook its head and said, "I can't redeem the points. There is some mysterious energy in it that prevents me from putting it into the code library."

Wan Sutong nodded and took it back to the spiritual sea. After reading it, the system sighed and decided to remind Wan Sutong, "How about the host find a chance to ask Zhao Jinghua if there is any meaning behind it?"

Wan Sutong sighed softly, her tone was gentle but calm, "I didn't plan to exchange the points, I just asked out of habit. You know what he's thinking, don't I? You have to get along with him anyway, and if it doesn't work, you can give it back to him. If you give it back to him directly, it will be a rejection."

The system was stunned when it heard this. "Uh... human emotions are too complicated. This system does not understand, but what the host said seems to make sense." Wan Sutong smiled and said nothing more.

At the same time, Zhao Jinghuai in the palace clapped his hands excitedly, "Wow! It's flying! It's flying!"

Zhao Jinghua smiled as he watched the bamboo dragonfly gradually rise higher, then he touched Zhao Jinghuai's head and asked, "Huai'er, do you like it?"

Zhao Jinghuai kept nodding his head. "I like it! I like it!" Zhao Jinghua took Zhao Jinghuai's hand with a smile in his eyes and walked towards the place where the bamboo dragonfly fell. He bent down to pick up the bamboo dragonfly and handed it to Zhao Jinghuai.

After releasing the bamboo dragonfly again, Zhao Jinghuai smiled with eyes curved and very endearing. His "Hahahahahaha" laughter was full of childishness and cuteness, and Zhao Jinghua couldn't help but curl up his lips when he heard it.

The laughter attracted the busy Eunuch Chen. Zhao Jinghua and Emperor Hongyu looked almost exactly the same, so this scene reminded Eunuch Chen of the young Emperor Hongyu and the young Emperor Minghua. He and his son used to play around in the palace like this. Eunuch Chen lowered his head slightly and wiped away his tears with his sleeves, saying silently, "Your Majesty, Zhao Kingdom has a successor."

The next day, Wan Sutong entered the palace as the prince's counselor. After learning that Zhao Jinghua had not yet left the court, he waited in the study.

Wan Sutong looked around the study, and then noticed a calligraphy hanging on the wall behind the desk, which read "A ruler should put the people first and the stability of the country first." Wan Sutong couldn't help but sigh that she had only wanted to leave as soon as possible, but she didn't realize that Zhao Jinghua had such courage and his handwriting was so beautiful, vigorous and powerful. Just when Wan Sutong was absorbed in reading, Zhao Jinghua's gentle voice came from behind her, "You are here."

Wan Sutong came back to her senses after hearing this, and quickly turned around to salute, but Zhao Jinghua stopped her and said, "No need to salute."

Eunuch Chen and Eunuch Wang smiled at each other and said, "I'll take my leave." The two of them left the study and closed the door for them.

Eunuch Chen sighed and said, "It is not in vain for Your Highness to have been running around the Prime Minister's Mansion for three years."

Eunuch Wang nodded and said, "Father, do you think His Majesty will agree?"

Eunuch Chen nodded and then shook his head, "Your Majesty, I will agree, but I'm afraid..." Eunuch Chen hesitated and then raised his hand and patted the prince on the shoulder.

Eunuch Wang nodded and whispered, "You mean... the position of crown prince will be taken by someone else by then."

Eunuch Chen sighed and didn't answer or deny. "It's hard to predict what's going on in the world, it's hard to predict what's going on in the world!" Eunuch Chen walked away.

Eunuch Wang quickly followed and said, "Father, your two sentences don't have the same meaning, right?"

Eunuch Chen laughed, "You are worthy of being my son! Smart! Remember not to follow the wrong master in the future!"

Eunuch Wang nodded quickly and said, "Son, I'll remember it."

Who knew that Wan Sutong didn't talk to Zhao Jinghua at all, but leaned on the door to eavesdrop, "Your Highness, what did Eunuch Chen mean by the words 'the world is unpredictable'?"

Zhao Jinghua was sitting behind the desk at this time and chuckled, "I can't explain it clearly at the moment, Miss Su Tong will understand it later."

Wan Sutong nodded and came to Zhao Jinghua's side. "Why did your highness give me white jade?"

Zhao Jinghua was stunned for a moment after hearing this, then shook his head slightly and said, "Nothing, I just think Miss Su Tong and Bai Yu are a good match."

Wan Sutong nodded and said, "If you and I don't get married in the end, I will return the jade pendant to you."

Zhao Jinghua sighed and said, "Miss Su Tong, there is no reason to take back what you have given away. I know that in your world this is called boyfriend and girlfriend, a relationship that is uncertain whether it will last, and is also called marriage freedom."

Wan Sutong smiled and said, "Did my cousin tell you all this? How did you know about the love brain?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and couldn't help but fall into memories. "When Fengming Tower was first established, Miss Su'er fell in love with a beggar." When it came to this, Wan Sutong asked in confusion, "What is a beggar?"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled, stood up and brought a chair to Wan Sutong and placed it next to him. "Beggar's meaning"

Wan Sutong nodded, sat on the chair and said with a grin, "Thank you."

Zhao Jinghua sat back at the table with a smile in his eyes. "He is not really a beggar. He was originally a son of a wealthy family but he got lost accidentally. After becoming a beggar, he met the kind-hearted Su'er. Su'er took pity on him and took him in. She supported him in picking up his writing brush again. The beggar did not disappoint Su'er. He was indeed a talent. A painting could be sold for three taels of silver. Every time he sold a painting, the beggar would buy Su'er a sesame seed cake. As time went by, they fell in love with each other. Su'er knew that the beggar had a wife, but she was willing to be a concubine. Just when the two were about to get married, they were stopped by Xu Fengming."

Wan Sutong was shocked after hearing this, "Oh my God! He married her even though he knew she was his concubine!"

Zhao Jinghua chuckled and nodded, "Xu Fengming said, why didn't he give you gold and silver jewelry after selling his calligraphy and paintings, but a three-cent sesame cake? If you marry into his family, will his wife agree? Now that he has money and knows where his home is, why doesn't he take you back? First, his family may be broken up, and second, he looks down on your background and thinks that a concubine should be kept away. Although you are a dancer, you are innocent. Why can't you be the wife of an ordinary family, but have to be the concubine of that beggar? Su'er heard this and asked the beggar, but the beggar got angry and left with all the money."

Wan Sutong nodded and couldn't help but feel sad for the girls in this world. "Most girls in this world will be deceived. There are poor scholars, impoverished princes, and many other identities. After all, he would buy her a sesame cake every time he sold his calligraphy and paintings, but he still married her knowing that she was a concubine... She is a little bit in love." Zhao Jinghua chuckled and nodded in agreement

Wan Sutong looked up at Zhao Jinghua and asked, "What do you think is love-brained?"

Zhao Jinghua sighed and looked out the window. "I think that maybe he was only focused on others and could be fooled by a few words. Little did he know that he was just a sly outsider."

Wan Sutong chuckled but her tone was a little disappointed. "Your Highness, what you said makes me feel a little unreal, like a dream that blends the past and the present." Zhao Jinghua chuckled and did not answer.
