After the marriage, my husband's family listened to my voice and turned the tide

[Hmm? Something else?]

Shang Tingli lowered her eyes in confusion. This rosewood jewelry box inlaid with eight treasures had no mechanism. Once it was opened, everything was visible. Apart from the hairpin and bracelet, if there was anything else, she only saw a solid-colored handkerchief.

[Could it be... this handkerchief is also a gift? ]

Shang Tingli glanced at Ke Xin secretly.

[This robe is placed at the bottom. I originally thought it was just for decoration.]

Ke Xin: “…”

He didn't know what to say for a moment.

Shang Tingli silently picked up the silk scarf and waved it in front of his eyes, then smiled at him and said, "Thank you, my Lord. I like it very much."

Ke Xin was speechless for a moment, looked at her and said quietly: "Why don't you take a closer look?" To be honest, Luo Pa was not among the gifts he gave.

Shang Tingli: “Ah?”

[Is there anything else about the red sandalwood jewelry box inlaid with eight treasures? When was it remodeled? ]

She was still immersed in her stereotype of this style of jewelry box and looked at it again in confusion.

With just one glance, she was stunned.

I saw a stack of silver bills lying quietly in the jewelry box, all of them were worth thousands of taels, I didn't know how thick it was, but I could see with the naked eye that they were arranged in a regular pattern, not placed neatly, but one covering another, as if folded to make flowers, and they were stacked so neatly that no wonder no one could notice it once the scarf was covering it.

Shang Tingli looked at Ke Xin in astonishment.

Then he heard him ask, "What do you think, Princess?"

Shang Tingli curved his lips and smiled: "Thank you, my lord. I am very pleased."

Tonight, she said very little, just three sentences of thanks, but each one was more sincere than the last.

To be honest, she and Ke Xingchen could only be regarded as respectful to each other at best, but he gave her a birthday gift, whether it was a hairpin or a bracelet, which she thought was very rare. This man also gave her her favorite banknotes, which was somewhat touching to her.

[Wuwuwu, I have made up my mind. Don't worry, Ke Xingchen. Even if it's just for the sake of money, I will do my best to plead for you and save you from the pain of being torn apart by five horses! ]

Ke Xin: “?”

After not seeing him for several months, why is his Crown Prince's Consort still talking nonsense?

Ke Xin thought that he must have been too tired from traveling these days, which led to the auditory hallucinations.

Why plead for him? Even if he was torn to pieces in this life just like in the last, she was afraid that he would not be able to escape it, so how could she have the face to plead for him?

It’s just baffling…

and many more.

Ke Ming's distracted face flashed through his mind. Ke Xin's face darkened when he thought that the bastard Ke Ming had his eyes on his Crown Princess.

He will never die.

I will drag Ke Ming to hell with me even if I die.

"Hmph, I'm not like some people." Ke Xin suddenly snorted coldly.

Shang Tingli looked at him in confusion.

[What happened? Wasn't he fine just now? ...Is he having epilepsy again? ]

Ke Xin choked, but he tried to hold back, and finally said in a sarcastic tone, "I've always been generous, unlike someone who only gave me a hundred-liang silver note on my birthday." He pointed at the silver note in the rosewood eight-treasure jewelry box and raised his chin, "There are a full ninety thousand liang in here."

"..."

Shang Tingli blushed when he heard this.

She remembered. Ke Xingchen's birthday was on the first day of the twelfth lunar month. Her mother had told her in advance, but she had forgotten it at the last minute. That day, she wanted to pretend she didn't know, but he was so happy that he drank a little more and asked her for a birthday gift. She hesitated for a long time and had no choice but to find a "gift" for him.

Even though it was a silver note worth one hundred taels, she was so considerate as to wrap it up in a red envelope.

But I still remember the way he looked at me at that time, as if asking "Are you sure this is a birthday gift?"

[Please, stop talking. This is so embarrassing. One hundred taels against ninety thousand taels. I am really ashamed.]

Shang Tingli raised her hand to support her brow and took the opportunity to cover her eyes. As long as she couldn't see Ke Xingchen's eyes, she would not feel embarrassed.

"I'm not trying to argue with you."

【Um? 】

Ke Xin stared at her and said, "I'm just telling you that others are not as generous as me."

Shang Tingli was a little dumbfounded.

[What are you talking about? You said you weren't trying to argue with me, and you said that others weren't as generous as you. Ke Xingchen, you're also being implicit, right...]

Ke Xin: “…………”

It was really unnecessary for him to ask this.

Ke Xin turned around and left, asked someone to get him some hot water, and went to the bathroom holding his shirt.

Shang Tingli was confused.

Why are you still angry? She didn't say anything, did she?

Besides, if anyone should be angry, she should be the one to be angry. She didn't even complain about why he just said he wouldn't bother with her, but then he turned around and implied what she meant. He, on the other hand, glared at her and went to take a shower.

Shang Tingli curled his lips.

If it weren't for the birthday gift, she wouldn't bother to pay attention to him. Yes, people who have their sister's support are so arrogant. She is not the submissive Shang Tingli in the past. She is He Xiaoli who has the support of her mother's family!

Shang Tingli yawned, tears welling up in the corners of his eyes, and he murmured, "I'm so sleepy."

She first covered it with the scarf, then put the hairpin and bracelet inside. After closing the lid, she placed the rosewood jewelry box inlaid with eight treasures at the innermost part of the bed.

After doing all this, Shang Tingli lay down again, closed his eyes and fell asleep.

I don’t know how long it was after, but when Ke Xin came out of the bathroom, he saw the woman on the bed, lying on her side, hugging a corner of the quilt and already asleep.

He couldn't help laughing and shook his head.
