A short night is hard to please! A stunningly handsome prince dotes on her exclusively.

"Hmm~ How about the location of those two shops? If they're too remote, it'll be really hard to manage them?"

Upon hearing this, Lou Shenghan's eyes instantly lit up with hope, and he quickly and enthusiastically introduced the business: "The two shops are located together, one selling cosmetics and the other selling ready-made clothes. Although it is a small business, it is located in the middle of West Street, and many ordinary people come and go every day. Princess, you are intelligent and kind-hearted. If you take over the business and make some minor repairs, you will surely be able to make it thrive."

Standing to the side, Cailian listened to these words with an indescribable look of horror and unease. At the beginning of last month, didn't the Prime Minister scold the young lady for being stupid as a pig and ignorant? How come he is praising the young lady like this now?

Xin Moyan also felt that he had exaggerated a bit, but who doesn't like to hear nice things?

After a moment, looking at Lou Shenghan's hypocritical face, she still asked uncertainly, "Prime Minister, you didn't give me two run-down shops that are losing money and can't be sold, did you?"

Startled by this revelation, Lou Shenghan stiffened instantly. He then patted his chest guiltily and said earnestly, "Princess, how could I, the Prime Minister of a nation, do such a despicable thing? Besides, with my vast wealth and power, I wouldn't stoop so low as to send a dilapidated shop to the Princess as a gift!"

"is it?"

Xin Moyan frowned, still very skeptical of his words.

“Oh dear! Your Highness, if you grant my request, not only will you receive two shops, but I will also give you one hundred taels of silver to renovate your new shop.”

"A hundred taels? Who do you think you're trying to fool? Forget it, I don't want it anymore, Lou Xiaobao, you can take it back!"

She waved to Lou Shenghan, signaling him to leave. She didn't know the value of a hundred taels of silver, but since he was already the prime minister, a hundred taels of silver sounded too stingy. She had to swindle a lot of money for renovations, even though she hadn't decided what kind of shop to open yet.

Lou Shenghan forced a smile and exclaimed dramatically, "Oh dear! I thought it was just a few polite words, after all, the General's Mansion's glory over half a lifetime is no more than a hundred taels of silver, I didn't expect the Princess to take it seriously!"

Who would turn down money?

"...How come I never noticed before that the princess loved money?"

“In the past, you only cared about verbally humiliating this princess.”

He gave an awkward laugh and said with a grin, "Hehehe~ It's all in the past, let's not bring up the princess's old stories!"

Xin Moyan didn't answer him. Instead, she looked up and stared intently at him, asking, "Prime Minister Lou, you just said you would exchange two shops for a few days of Xiaobao's care. Is that true?"

"It's so real! It couldn't be more real!"

"Good! I'll also add a thousand taels of silver."

Someone almost choked on their breath, staring straight at Xin Moyan's face.

“A thousand...a thousand taels? Princess Danhua, do you know that a thousand taels is several months’ salary of mine, enough for me to hire two wet nurses to take care of Xiaobao until he grows up.”

Xin Moyan shrugged, her face showing complete indifference.

"I don't care how long your salary lasts. If you want, accept it; if you don't, go back to the Prime Minister's residence. I'll be happy to do as I please."

On the surface, she appeared calm and collected, but in reality, Xin Moyan was overjoyed. Lou Shenghan had bullied the original owner of this body before, and now that he needed her help, she was determined to rip him off and show him that Xin Moyan was not someone to be trifled with.

"Princess, could you offer a discount, such as three hundred taels?"

"Five hundred taels?"

"Eight……"

"Alright, since the Prime Minister is so stingy, then forget it. Pretend I didn't say anything."

Xin Moyan reached out to interrupt his bargaining, then pouted at him, gesturing for him to look into the distance.

"Yan'er!"

Xin Moling was striding towards them. Before he even entered the mansion, he saw the Prime Minister's carriage at the gate and heard from his servants that Lou Shenghan was chatting with Yan'er in the back garden with his son. That's why he rushed over.

"Your Excellency, my brother has arrived."

Watching the figure approaching, Lou Shenghan gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously, saying, "Fine! One thousand taels it is. I'll have someone bring the silver and the deed over later, but..."

He paused for a moment, then changed to a serious tone and said earnestly to Xin Moyan, "Princess, not long ago, there was a severe drought in Lizhou. Tomorrow I need to go there with Prince Ze to check on the people's conditions and comfort their hearts. The round trip will take about three days. During these three days, I would be grateful if you could take good care of Xiaobao. I will be extremely grateful."

"You mean, Xiao Bao will live with me?"

"Only three days left!"

Xin Moling could only hear them whispering, but couldn't make out what they were saying, so she quickly walked over to them.

"Yan'er! Prime Minister Lou, didn't you take sick leave? Why did you come to the manor?"

Having just settled his son properly, Lou Shenghan smiled brightly and said, "My son met the princess a few days ago and couldn't forget her gentleness and thoughtfulness. So he keeps asking me to bring him to sit with the princess for a while."

Xin Moling naturally didn't believe his nonsense. She had clearly seen Lou Shenghan smiling ingratiatingly at Yan'er just now, so there must be something wrong!

"Hmph! I've heard that Prime Minister Lou has often spoken rudely to Yan'er while I'm away from the capital these past few years. Yan'er, what did he say to you just now?"

“Ah, General Xin, what you say is true. Even if there were many unpleasant things in the past, they have all vanished like smoke. Isn’t Princess Danhua now reborn? If the princess continues to be as intelligent and generous as she is now, I will naturally treat her differently and will not have the same opinion as before…”

After he finished speaking, the three of them were stunned and fell silent.

Lou Shenghan's silence stemmed from a sudden realization that Xin Moyan was so unusual now that he was being led by the nose without even noticing. Although Xiao Bao had never met her before, he was now overly dependent on her, and Lou Shenghan inexplicably believed that Xin Moyan could take good care of Xiao Bao, which was why he rushed over today.

Xin Moling, on the other hand, felt a sense of unease. Yan'er's recent changes were indeed a pleasant surprise, but he only wished for Yan'er to live an ordinary life. Lou Shenghan's meaning was that if Yan'er was too outstanding, what if others took notice of her? Wouldn't that be inviting trouble for nothing?

Xin Moyan, however, didn't think that way. She only felt sorry for the original owner of the body. Everyone's current opinion of Xin Moyan was based on her own changes, and the old Xin Moyan had never seen anyone affirm the original owner's strengths; instead, there was mostly criticism and ridicule. Although she really wanted to change everyone's perception of 'Xin Moyan,' she subconsciously didn't want everyone to forget the old Xin Moyan, especially her brother who loved his sister dearly...

Leaving isn't scary; what's scary is being forgotten. When the last person in the world forgets you, that's when you truly leave the world...

"Yan'er, what's wrong?"

She snapped out of her daze, gave Xin Moling a sweet smile, and quickly said, "No...it's nothing, brother. The Prime Minister has been busy these past few days and wants Xiao Bao to stay at home for a couple of days."

"No! I don't agree!"
