I traveled through ancient times to escape famine with my arch-rival, the movie star.

Only after Shen Ying returned to the inn and closed the door did she dare to reveal some of her true emotions.

Eight hundred taels of silver.

She exchanged it for eight hundred taels of silver.

This was even more surprising than the first time she received a seven-figure salary.

"With this money, it would be no problem to bring the Shen family in to rest and take a break." Of course, she didn't want to do that, she was just giving an example.

Shen Ying put eight hundred taels of silver in the safest place - the mall.

With this money, she no longer has to worry about real-life spending.

Shen Ying enjoyed herself comfortably for half a day. She either went downstairs to buy some small items, or she could enjoy the good things in the mall at any time without having to find an excuse to go to the toilet.

However, Lian Bihe never showed up.

When another night came, Shen Ying went to deliver food to the Shen family outside the city again. When she returned to the inn, the three of them were waiting on the first floor.

Two women and one man.

The man is old, and the woman is one old and one young.

She knew the younger one: "Lian, Xiao He, you're here."

Shen Ying took a few steps in her direction.

The woman stopped Shen Ying and said, "You must be Miss Shen, I finally saw you. Please take a seat."

Shen Ying just thought this sentence was weird. She had been out delivering something for less than half an hour, and she had never seen them waiting downstairs before, so they said such things.

I always feel a little arrogant.

Shen Ying also lost some of her enthusiasm. After sitting down, she got straight to the point: "So Miss Lian brought people here. Is there any change in what we agreed on before?"

Lian Bihe looked at Shen Ying hesitantly. In fact, she wanted to fulfill her promise of ten thousand taels.

However, the old servant in the family said that giving so much money would actually be harmful to others. After all, they were just ordinary people at the bottom of society, so it would be better to give them something more reliable.

"It's not convenient to talk here. I wonder if Miss Shen can..."

"Then go upstairs. I have a room upstairs. As for other places, I don't believe in them for now. By the way, if the man wants to join the conversation, I'm afraid the door should be left open, so as not to ruin my reputation."

The other party spoke in a sarcastic tone, and Shen Ying also responded with insinuation, expressing that I know about your sarcasm and arrogance.

The woman was not very happy. After being glanced at by Lian Bihe, she could only bear it and follow Shen Ying.

When the door opened, there was a faint fragrance in the room. Lian Bihe recognized it as the aroma of a scented tea brewed by Shen Ying. She had brewed it for herself several times.

"I don't think you guys are here for tea, so I won't bother. I'm leaving town tomorrow to meet up with my family, so just tell me what you want."

Lian Bihe felt something was wrong. Judging from Shen Ying's attitude, she thought that she was going to default on her debt.

Just as she was about to explain, Nanny Lian spoke first. "Our young lady was helped by the Shen family's convoy all the way to Wanzhou City. We should have held a banquet to express our gratitude, but the world is in chaos now, and being extravagant will only cause trouble for both parties.

We have all heard about the reward that the young lady and Miss Shen agreed on before, but isn’t this ten thousand taels a bit too exaggerated?”

"That was proposed by your young lady. What? Are you trying to default on your debt?" Shen Ying had already prepared for the worst, but she did not regret saving a woman who was about to be violated.

What I regret is only the extra care I showed and the friendship that almost came into being.

She is always like this. The negative news says that she is the best at acting. She can get along well with anyone, but it must be an act.

In fact, as long as they have met a few times, she will always put her heart into getting along with others, even a little reckless, who only cares about food and not fights, and in the eyes of some people, she is like a fool.

But her greatest strength is that she can quickly get over unequal relationships.

Therefore, seeing that Lian Bihe did not look directly into her eyes at this moment, Shen Ying guessed that this was another unequal relationship, so she quickly adjusted her mood.

"Of course I'm not refusing to pay my debt. Our Lian family would never do such a thing. It's just that 12,000 taels of gold is ridiculous. We have prepared land and a manor of similar value for you, and..."

"Where are the land and manor? In the water-rich Jiangnan area, or in a coastal town?"

The woman was about to speak endlessly, but was interrupted by Shen Ying.

neither.

"Right here in Yongcheng, we are willing to give you 500 acres of land and a three-story house. The furniture and furnishings inside, as well as the contracts of 17 tenants and the indentures of three servants, will all belong to you."

That place was almost exactly where the Shen family had stayed three days after they set out.

It has been more than half a month now, almost a month, should I go back now?

Wouldn't it be a coincidence that they ran into other refugees fleeing in large numbers?

"If you don't know, you might think this is revenge." Shen Ying sighed, "At this time, do you want to go back?

Anyway, it is impossible for us to go back to Yongcheng. Please give me some travel expenses. I won’t ask for anything else.”

Shen Ying smiled, not at all affected by the old man who deliberately had a stern face, or the woman who always acted very strong.

Lian Bihe finally spoke at this moment. "Madame Lian, it's okay. The 10,000 taels of gold we agreed on are not completely impossible to raise. Shen Ying saved my life and took good care of me on the way. Even the clothes I wore when I met you were bought by her. You don't have to show Shen Ying the ones you wear to the public."

Shen Ying remained unmoved.

Until that Nanny Lian sighed and took out a stack of banknotes. This was her last trump card that was forced out by her own young lady.

The young lady is still too particular and doesn't understand how terrifying the number of ten thousand taels of gold is.

How many merchants cannot accumulate ten thousand taels of gold in their entire lifetime!

"Here are 10,000 taels of silver notes and 2,000 taels of gold notes, which can be used in any large city..."

Shen Ying flipped through it and thought, okay, something is better than nothing.

But, "Change the gold for me and send it to me before tomorrow morning."

This pushed the gold ticket over again.

The ten thousand taels of silver notes could be kept for use after the drought was over, but gold notes were not easy to exchange. Just for eight hundred taels, the silver shop took almost an hour to get them.

She didn't expect to be able to exchange so much gold directly in any town she passed by in the future. It would be more economical to hold it in her hands.

Lian Bihe agreed.

Shen Ying stood up to see the guests off. Watching the three figures disappear into the darkness, Shen Ying laughed to herself, closed the door and went back into the house.

But tonight, things don't seem peaceful.

There was movement in the windows and on the door bolts.

Shen Ying stood up and stopped them, then took the whetstone to sharpen the knife and finally suppressed the noise.

The next day, Lian Bihe came with dark circles under her eyes and after packing her things. This time, she was not accompanied by an old woman with a very stressful look, but two young maids and a servant.

Each servant carried a large box, while one maid held a small box and the other carried a basket.

There is gold in the big box.

There were some food in the basket and a lot of jewelry in the box.

"This is..." The reward mentioned yesterday did not include this.
