The Fourth Prince put the banknotes into his sleeve and turned away, the depression in his eyes hidden under his thick eyelashes.

How could he not hold a grudge against Shen Shuangyue for stealing half of his wealth and making him suffer in silence?

It is not difficult to judge from Shen Shuangyue's words that Shen Shuangyue does not want others to know about this.

In other words, only the two of them knew.

He thought that these were the silver notes that he had stolen from him, and the silver notes that he had always wanted to give to him but had never given him because he was short of money.

He came to the backyard of Su's Wonton Shop and took out the banknote when he and Su Hanwan were alone. "Miss Su, seeing you so busy every day makes me feel helpless. I don't know what I can do for you. Please accept this small gift. If it's not enough, please ask me for more. I sincerely hope you don't have to be so busy."

He avoided Su Hanwan's gaze and lowered his voice very low, "I will feel bad."

"This is not a good idea. Fourth Prince, please take it back. It is already an honor for me to meet you." Su Hanwan subconsciously refused.

The Fourth Prince stuffed the money into Su Hanwan's hand and said, "Just take it if I tell you to."

"No, I've already caused you so much trouble." Su Hanwan put the banknote back into the hands of the Fourth Prince.

"Miss Su, there's no need to be so formal with me."

The two of them argued for a while, and Su Hanwan suddenly figured it out.

Why don’t you want the money?

She had been acting with him for such a long time that she felt it was a loss to receive a hundred taels of silver as her hard work fee.

What's more, he had frightened her many times, and the one hundred taels was not even enough to cover the interest.

Furthermore, everyone says that women need to have noble character and should not be money-diggers, but isn’t pursuing a richer life something that everyone aspires to?

Isn't it more shameful to live a life without money and unable to even afford food than to be reeking of money?

So according to Shuang Yue's words, the Gold Chaser is also a shackle for women, right?!

Because he had no money or was unwilling to spend money on women, he was accused of this.

She couldn't help but sneer in her heart. If she didn't want to give money, she could just not give it and say she had no money. But using such words showed that she didn't even understand basic respect.

Other people's choices should be respected as long as they do not violate the law, rather than interfered with with these kidnapping words.

Thinking of this, she accepted the money generously, found an excuse that she was in urgent need of money, and finally put a hat on the Fourth Prince.

"Fourth Prince, I do need this money. I've always been afraid that you'd think I'm a money-chaser.

But then I thought, this idea is an insult to you. You are really thinking about me, and if I don't accept it, I will be letting you down."

The Fourth Prince's eyes flashed with surprise, but he didn't show it on his face. Instead, he smiled, "Miss Su, you are finally willing to accept my kindness. I don't know how to express my feelings at this moment."

Su Hanwan lowered her head, pretending to be shy as she punched the Fourth Prince's chest with her little fist, then pretended to leave in a panic.

The Fourth Prince looked at Su Hanwan's back with complicated eyes.

This scene was reported to the emperor by someone in the dark.

The emperor looked at Shen Shuangyue, who was grinding ink, and asked, "Did you predict that the Fourth Prince would pretend to have the hundred taels?"

Shen Shuangyue looked innocent. "Your Majesty, you're making it sound like I'm plotting against the Fourth Prince. But I'm not a worm in his stomach, so how can I know what he'll choose?"

"He holds a grudge against you. You stole his money, so it's understandable that he thinks it's his own money." The emperor smiled faintly, "Do you really think I know nothing?"

"Your Majesty, you are so idle that you even know such a small matter." Shen Shuangyue blurted out sarcastic words.

The emperor clenched his fists, "Didn't you promise not to make me angry again?"

"Your Majesty, are you angry now?" Shen Shuangyue asked in surprise.

The emperor felt depressed. This was no different from saying that he was petty!

Shen Shuangyue curved her eyebrows. This kind of emperor was quite interesting.

She took the tea from Eunuch Xu and placed it in front of the emperor, whispering, "Your Majesty, please have some tea. I was wrong. Please don't be angry, okay?"

The emperor, who had never won a verbal battle against Shen Shuangyue, couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips slightly, but then quickly suppressed them.

He picked up the teacup and snorted coldly: "I don't want to argue with you."

Eunuch Xu turned his face away quietly, unable to bear to watch.

I have to admit that Miss Shen is very capable and can see the emperor's true nature at a glance.

Everyone in the court thought that the emperor was ruthless and majestic, but only the old servants like him knew that the emperor loved to watch the fun and be coaxed.

Shen Shuangyue watched the emperor drink the tea and said seriously, "Your Majesty, I have a question that I would like to ask you to clarify. I specifically emphasized not to say that it was me who sent the banknotes. The Fourth Prince could have told Boss Su about his theft and his suspicions, and even used this to alienate the relationship between me and Boss Su, but he chose to pretend to be the one who sent it.

"What was the premise for him to pretend to be someone else? Would he have pretended to be someone else if he hadn't intended to give the banknotes? But I don't understand, if he pretended to be someone else, why didn't he just give away the money he had prepared?"

The emperor fell silent and followed Shen Shuangyue's words. Although his son wanted to give money, he was reluctant to give even a hundred taels.

Thinking of the sincere feelings of the Fifth Prince and the Second Prince, he inexplicably felt a little disgusted with the Fourth Prince's previous infatuated words.

It felt more like he was using Miss Su to tell him that he had no intention of fighting for the throne.

After all, the Fourth Prince had been at Su's Wonton Shop for so long, and he hadn't stopped him. He had been with the girl for so long, but he had never mentioned marriage.

He glanced at Shen Shuangyue and said, "Did the Fourth Prince offend you? Why are you plotting against him like this?"

"I simply dislike him." Shen Shuangyue's eyes were dim. "Anyway, he has no interest in your position. At most, I can lower the impression on him. It won't cause much harm."

As soon as Shen Shuangyue finished speaking, the system popped up: [Ahhh! Host, what have you done again? Why has the hero's aura weakened again?]

Shen Shuangyue replied innocently: [Didn't I promise you before that I would let the Fourth Prince send money to Boss Su? Have you checked to see if it's done?]

The system checked the backend, [The Fourth Prince offered money, but the heroine refused. Although she accepted the money in the end, it's not a big deal if it can be cut off.]

The system was silent for a moment: [So, what the host is saying is, is it my fault that the hero's aura has weakened? Then have you considered what to do with the heroine?]

Shen Shuangyue scoffed. "I'm not the type to do good things without leaving my name behind. I'll wait for Mo Linqing to deliver dinner tonight and ask him to give Su Hanwan another hundred taels. I'll have him tell Su Hanwan to use the two hundred taels to hire a few reliable martial artists. I'll then say I've caused her trouble. If she doesn't use the money to hire someone, I'll feel guilty."

System: [……] What a trick to sow discord!

The host is a professional at breaking up couples!

He also specifically asked Mo Linqing to pass on the message because he knew that Mo Linqing was worried about the placement of the old soldiers he knew!

The first seed targeting the Fourth Prince had been buried in the ground, and Shen Shuangyue immediately proceeded to the second step.

The Sixth Prince has a good virtue in the plot: frugality.

In other words: stingy.

She takes advantage of her position to cheat some money, which will always lower her impression.

But before he could make any concrete plans, the Seventh Prince rushed in, "Fairy Sister, I missed you so much!"

I didn’t feel anything yesterday, but today, for some reason, I felt a little ashamed when I heard the name “Fairy Sister”.

So she made a request, "Just call me sister from now on, don't call me fairy sister."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Mo Linming's aggrieved voice outside the hall: "Sister, are you even asking me to share this special title with others?"
