When Wan Zhou said this, he deliberately made a skillful pause. When Mu Wan'er heard the previous sentence, she was startled and a piece of unchewed radish slipped directly into her throat.

It didn't get stuck, but my throat was scratched and I kept choking and coughing.

"Pour the young lady a glass of water." Seeing this, Ji Nanzheng immediately ordered Mu Wan'er's maid.

Seeing that Mu Wan'er was coughing really hard, he reached out and patted her on the back to help her calm down.

At the same time, he looked at Wan Zhou with resentment, saying that it was all her fault.

Wan Zhou: “…”

Mu Wan'er has something wrong with her and is too sensitive. Should we blame her?

Forget it, Mu Wan'er did look uncomfortable, so she chose to keep silent for the time being.

This blurred the purpose of her questions.

Wan Zhou glanced at Wang Sijun who was standing beside her. She frowned with an unpleasant expression.

Mu Wan'er drank some water and stopped coughing. For a moment, she was panting, her cheeks were red, and she looked a little embarrassed.

"Brother Nanzheng, I'm fine." Mu Wan'er looked at Ji Nanzheng the first time, with a gentle smile and earnest eyes, which made me feel pity for her.

The way Mu Wan'er looked at Ji Nanzheng made Wang Sijun very uncomfortable, but she always trusted Mu Wan'er and didn't think too much about it.

Feeling depressed and uncomfortable, he pointed the gun at Wan Zhou.

"Gu Wanzhou, look at what you have done."

The development of events was different from Wan Zhou's plan, but the result was similar.

She knew that although Wang Sijun was feeling uncomfortable at the moment, he had not yet doubted Mu Wan'er.

Don't be anxious. Only once the seeds are planted will they have the possibility of sprouting.

"I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, ask the general yourself about his type."

"Shut up." Ji Nanzheng couldn't bear to listen anymore.

"You see, the general didn't allow me to say it, which means I was right."

Wang Sijun only felt that she was even angrier, but she couldn't figure out what she was angry about.

Ji Nanzheng really wanted to sew Wan Zhou's mouth shut forever.

"Wan'er, go back and rest first. If you feel uncomfortable, remember to call a doctor."

"Let me take Sister Wan'er there. To be honest, I was also at fault." Wan Zhou immediately volunteered to take Mu Wan'er there.

"You stay." Ji Nanzheng looked at Wang Sijun again: "Yun'er, you stay with Wan'er."

"Why should she stay?" Wang Sijun was unconvinced.

Wan Zhou had a hunch that Ji Nanzheng was going to cause trouble for her, so she immediately said, "Yes, General, it's getting late, and if I stay here alone as a woman, others will spread rumors, which is not appropriate."

Ji Nanzheng: "..."

What nonsense is she talking about? She is his wife. Even if she stayed, what rumors could there be?

Wan Zhou didn't care what Ji Nanzheng wanted to do, she didn't want to stay anyway, so she immediately whispered to Wang Sijun.

"If you don't want me to be alone with your cousin, try to take me away."

Of course Wang Sijun didn't want to.

"Cousin, I'm looking for Gu. Fourth cousin's wife has something else to do, so we'll leave first." Wang Sijun was afraid that Ji Nanzheng would not agree, so he pulled Wan Zhou out while saying this.

Ji Nanzheng frowned and looked at the direction where the people disappeared: Gu Wanzhou is like a loach, very slippery.

Jiangnan, who had been blowing the cold wind at the door, and the general who had been watching him silently, suddenly shivered.

Damn it, is the general smiling?

He rubbed his eyes hard, trying to see clearly, but when he looked again, he saw the solemn and cold general again.

Oh, it’s an illusion, it’s an illusion.

……

The next morning, Wan Zhou started to arrange for the move.

When the autumn pigeons and egrets had finished packing up their things, Jiangnan arrived.

"Madam, the general sent me here to get the silver."

Wan Zhou felt like he had a short circuit. For a moment he couldn't understand what Jiangnan wanted to get the silver for.

Seeing Wan Zhou didn't say anything, Jiang Nan reminded him, "The general said 1 taels."

Only then did Wan Zhou know what silver he was talking about.

I thought Ji Nanzheng was just showing off his eloquence, but I didn't expect he really wanted it.

"Let the general come himself." Wan Zhou sent Jiangnan away.

Wan Zhou didn't believe that Ji Nanzheng really had the nerve to ask for it, but Ji Nanzheng once again did not play by the rules.

he came.

When Ji Nanzheng arrived, all the things had been moved away and Wan Zhou was preparing to go out to her new place.

"Are you here to help me move, General?"

The moment Ji Nanzheng appeared, Wan Zhou had basically guessed why he came.

"Actually, there is no need. My mother-in-law has sent people to help. The general is a busy man. Go and serve the country and the people."

Ji Nanzheng ignored Wan Zhou.

At this time, Bai Lu was carrying two bags and Qiu Ge was holding Wan Zhou's money box.

Ji Nanzheng looked at Qiu Ge: "Give it to me."

Ji Nanzheng knew that it would be a lot of trouble to ask Wanzhou for money. Seeing Qiu Ge holding a wooden box in her hands, he knew he would be right to ask her.

"Don't..." Before Wan Zhou could stop her, Qiu Ge happily handed the box to Ji Nanzheng.

She thought that Ji Nanzheng was really here to help with the move as Wan Zhou said, so of course she was happy to hand it over.

The box fell into Ji Nanzheng's hands, and Wan Zhou could only watch him open it.

Other people's boxes usually contain land deeds, house deeds, and other deeds, but Wan Zhou's box doesn't have any deeds at all.

Only silver bills.

Because all those contracts are in Huayang.

All she needed was the banknote.

Ji Nanzheng took out the stack and casually flipped through it, but when he finished reading, his brows couldn't help but frowned.

All of them were in denominations of five hundred or one thousand taels. That stack of notes must have at least fifty thousand taels.

Gu Wanzhou donated 300,000 yuan, and the dowry was not luxurious. Ji Nanzheng thought Wanzhou should not have much wealth. Unexpectedly, there was only 50,000 yuan in a wooden box.

Ji Nanzheng was shocked. Gu Wanzhou is such a hidden talent.

Ji Nanzheng's original intention was to follow his word and do what he said. He said that Wan Zhou should give him money, so he had to let her pay a sum. He said it was 10,000 yuan, but in fact, he was thinking that he would take some money depending on the situation, so that Wan Zhou would feel distressed and would not dare to act rashly in the future.

Now, since Gu Wanzhou has so many banknotes, if he takes less, it will not matter to Gu Wanzhou.

So Wan Zhou watched him count out 1 taels.

Ji Nanzheng waved the banknote towards Wan Zhou: "It's exactly ten thousand."

Just when Wan Zhou was thinking about how to get the ten thousand back, Ji Nanzheng picked up the remaining stack of banknotes.

One, two, three, four, five... Wan Zhou watched Ji Nanzheng count five cards, and she thought Ji Nanzheng was going to add five more.

As a result, Ji Nanzheng put five of them into the box and held the rest in his hand.

"As a lady in the harem, you shouldn't have too much money. Put all of this with me as collateral. If you behave yourself and don't cause any trouble, I'll return it to you later. If you can't manage yourself, I'll collect interest from you."

Wan Zhou: “…”

What does it mean that the lady in the rear house should not have too much money?

Seeing Wan Zhou in a daze, Ji Nanzheng seemed to be in a good mood. A melancholy smile rose and fell in his always cold eyes.

Ji Nanzheng collected the banknotes and returned the box to Qiu Ge: "Be smarter next time and don't give your money box to anyone casually."

Wan Zhou: “…”

Egret: "..."

Qiu Ge: “…”

Three faces were stunned.
