The government was sending out wives, and I ended up with a princess from the previous dynasty!

Yuan Jin'er has arrived?

Jia Daoshi was somewhat surprised.

Since the assassination attempt that night, there has been no news of Yuan Jin'er. According to Jia Daoshi's estimation, she should have returned to the Prince Zhou's residence.

So what does it mean that she's come to my door now?

Could it be that they've come to thank me for saving their lives?

Jia Daoshi frowned; he had no interest in matters of the royal family.

The reason they stepped in to help that night was mostly due to a moment of impulse.

However, given her status, Jia Daoshi had no reason to offend her, especially since she was a beautiful young woman.

"Where are people?"

"Master, the person is already waiting in the living room."

"Alright, let's go see him."

Without hesitation, Jia Daoshi put down what he was doing and followed the butler to the living room.

In the living room.

A girl with a voluptuous figure, wearing a long green dress, was drinking tea with a somewhat bored expression.

Yuan Jin'er came to visit on Wu Qingye's orders.

Originally, Yuan Jin'er was already getting a little impatient.

In the past, it was always others who waited for her. When has a man ever made her wait like this?

If there is one, it's Wu Qingye.

But upon seeing Jia Daoshi, her mood inexplicably brightened.

Because at this moment, the image of Jia Daoshi sacrificing himself to save her flashed through Yuan Jin'er's mind!

Jia Daoshi's selfless rush to her aid had inadvertently opened her heart...

"Miss Yuan, how have you been these past few days?" Jia Daoshi stepped forward and greeted Yuan Jin'er. "You've come to visit so suddenly today, and I wonder what brings you here? Could it be that you're here to act as an intermediary for His Highness Prince Zhou?"

"Hmm? You keep calling me 'Your Highness Prince Zhou'! Can't I come to you myself?" Seeing Jia Daoshi being so polite, Yuan Jin'er felt inexplicably disappointed.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Jia, for your help at the Hundred Flowers Pavilion last time!"

Jia Daoshi waved his hand: "It's a trivial matter, nothing to mention."

"Miss Yuan, please speak frankly about what's on your mind. I'm very busy."

He is indeed quite busy right now; the blueprints for the peacock feather are not even finished yet.

"Mr. Jia, you men are really cold-hearted!" Yuan Jin'er was even more unhappy upon hearing this.

She originally came here to properly thank Jia Daoshi, and she also brought a generous gift from the Prince Zhou's residence!

Unexpectedly, this guy's reaction was so indifferent!

"Miss Yuan, you're exaggerating. I was indeed drawing blueprints just now!"

Looking at Yuan Jin'er pouting, Jia Daoshi felt quite helpless.

He opened his hands, some ink still remaining on them.

Not only on my hands, but also on my body, a little bit was sprinkled on me.

"Ok."

Seeing that Jia Daoshi was indeed very busy and didn't seem to be lying to her, Yuan Jin'er smiled again.

“Miss Yuan, you didn’t come all this way just to thank me, did you? There’s no need for that.” Jia Daoshi changed the subject.

The two wives in their own household didn't have a very good feeling about Yuan Jin'er.

Especially Di Qinglin.

"I'm here to deliver this to Mr. Jia."

Yuan Jin'er did not answer, but turned around and picked up a small red wooden box from the tea table!

Jia Daoshi took the box with a puzzled look and found that it contained a stack of silver notes!

“Miss Yuan, I told you not to be so polite. Although I saved you, in that situation, no one would stand idly by. You don’t need to do this!” Jia Daoshi shook his head and said.

The box contained a considerable amount of money; each silver note was worth five hundred taels, and there were six notes in total, which amounted to three thousand taels!

Too much!

This is truly a huge sum of money, an astronomical figure!

Before I traveled through time, these three thousand taels of silver would have been worth three million!

Although he said he saved her, this woman was at most just a royal servant, how could she be so generous?

Last time, the elders of Xuanhua gave him a manor.

Now, Yuan Jin'er, a subordinate of King Zhou, is sending a huge sum of money!

Is the intention to make him lie down?

“Mr. Jia, I don’t have that much money,” Yuan Jin’er said with a smile. “It was given to you by His Highness Prince Zhou.”

"Your Highness Prince Zhou? Why is that?" Jia Daoshi was even more puzzled.

Didn't Wu Qingye say he had given up when he left last time?

"His Highness Prince Zhou, if you want to give money, why do you have so many reasons? You just give it if you want to!"

That's outrageously extravagant!

Jia Daoshi was utterly speechless!

There is no free lunch in the world.

Jia Daoshi returned the box directly: "Miss Yuan, please go back and tell His Highness Prince Zhou that one should not accept undeserved rewards, and please ask him to take back this silver."

If it really was Yuan Jin'er who sent it, then he could live off her without feeling guilty.

After all, he had saved her life.

Yuan Jin'er smiled and said, "Your Highness Prince Zhou knew you would say that. Actually, this silver can't really be considered a gift from Your Highness. Rather, someone wants to use this silver to apologize to you!"

"Ok?"

Jia Daoshi was even more bewildered!

Who is this?

Three thousand taels of silver!

If this were given to an ordinary person, their next three generations would be set for life!

Who has offended him?

“Miss Yuan, are you... mistaken? Is there some misunderstanding?” Jia Daoshi asked.

“Of course there’s no misunderstanding,” Yuan Jin’er said with a smile. “The Hundred Flowers Gang has offended Mr. Jia several times. This time, their gang leader personally came to the Prince and took out this sum of money, hoping that Mr. Jia would not pursue the matter further.”

Seeing Jia Daoshi's reaction, Yuan Jin'er knew that her goal had been achieved.

"The leader of the Hundred Flowers Gang personally intervened and sought help from your prince?"

Jia Daoshi understood somewhat.

However, there are still some things he doesn't quite understand. He took Bai Xin's money and didn't make things difficult for him anymore, so why did the Hundred Flowers Gang still have to pay such a high price?

Especially since their gang leader personally paid for it.

Is it because they have too much money to burn?

But in this chaotic world, earning a little money is not easy!

"Yes, after learning what happened, Chief Jiao was filled with shame and couldn't eat or sleep. Knowing that Mr. Jia was a friend of the Prince, he hurriedly went to the Prince and asked him to pass on the three thousand taels of silver as a token of his sincerity. Moreover, he even brought the culprit here, hoping that Mr. Jia could finally calm down!"

Upon hearing this, Jia Daoshi began to understand the meaning.

This King Zhou somehow heard that Bai Xin had offended him, so he stepped in to put pressure on the leader of the Hundred Flowers Gang, which was to get revenge for him!

Although he didn't need it, they still did it anyway.

Come to think of it, a martial arts sect would definitely have to bow down to a prince in the imperial court!

"You mean, their prince even tied people up?" Jia Daoshi asked.

“That’s right. Mr. Jia is a friend of the Prince, so he can’t be appeased with just a little bit of material possessions!” Yuan Jin’er nodded. “He’s right outside the manor now. If Mr. Jia wants to kill or torture him, it’s just a matter of a word.”
