Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.

"Oh! Right, the betrothal gifts haven't been brought in yet." Hua Jueming only remembered that there were still important things to do after setting the date. "It's really impolite of me, please forgive me, Patriarch Su, Young Master Su Bai!" Hua Jueming bowed and apologized. "Someone, quickly bring in the betrothal gifts."

Everyone's gaze shifted to Hua Jueming's back, eager to know what kind of betrothal gifts the Hua family had given Su Bai.

Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, three people walked in through the gate. One of them carried a small box, while the other two struggled to carry a large trunk.

Hua Jueming instructed the two men carrying the box to place it in front of Su Bai, while placing the small box in front of Su Shengrong. Pointing to the small box, he said to Su Shengrong, "This is the betrothal gift from the Hua family!" Turning to Su Bai with a smile, he said, "Young Master Su Bai, this is a gift prepared specifically for you by the family head. Please take a look, Family Head and Young Master Su Bai."

Su Baigang felt that the dragon pattern on the box and trunk looked somewhat familiar, and was just about to recall when he had seen it before, when he heard Hua Jueming's words, he immediately pointed to himself and asked in confusion, "For me?"

Hua Jueming nodded. "This was specifically instructed by the patriarch."

Upon hearing this, Su Shengrong and the others were immediately startled. The thought that had flashed through Su Shengrong's mind resurfaced: Could it be that Su Bai really knew the Hua family before? And had a close relationship with them?

Su Yangxia narrowed his eyes slightly, suppressing the sudden feeling of irritation he had just experienced. His gaze shifted between Su Bai and the box. This Su Bai was truly surprising him more and more. He really wanted to tear off all of Su Bai's disguise and see what was hidden inside.

Why is he so interesting to him?

Su Bai's attention was instantly drawn away from the dragon pattern. He didn't care what Su Shengrong and the others were thinking; all he wanted to know was what Hua Gengchen had prepared for him.

"Can I open it and take a look?"

“Of course!” Hua Jueming said matter-of-factly, “This was originally meant for Young Master Su Bai!”

Su Bai rubbed his hands together and slowly opened the box under the curious gazes of everyone.

As soon as the box was opened a crack, Su Bai felt a beam of light shine on his hand. As the box was opened, the light became fainter and fainter, but it was still there and could not be ignored.

Finally, the box was completely opened, and everyone in the Su family was stunned!

Because the large box that Su Bai opened was filled with gold.

Su Bai's jaw nearly dropped in shock. He suspected that Hua Jueming had come to the Su family not to propose marriage, but to flaunt his wealth.

"Gulp!" Su Bai couldn't help but swallow, asking, "Why did you give me a box of gold?" Although he really liked this simple gift, wasn't it a bit...unconventional for a reclusive family to give something like this? Su Bai was at a loss for words, realizing he couldn't find a suitable adjective. If he really had to use one word, it would be that it seemed somewhat inappropriate. Gifts from a reclusive family should at least be high-end and classy; giving gold was really nouveau riche and didn't match the status of a reclusive family at all!

“Because this is the patriarch’s favorite thing,” Hua Jueming said bluntly. “It was the patriarch’s decision to give Young Master Su Bai gold. Does Young Master Su Bai not like it?” Is he complaining that the amount is not enough? He can go back and get more.

Hua Jueming hadn't been to the human realm for a while, and he was afraid that bringing out too much gold would attract attention. Otherwise, he would have liked to bring out ten or eight boxes at once to give Su Bai a good boost in face.

As mentioned earlier, he had investigated the Su family before coming, and naturally knew that Su Bai was not highly regarded in the Su family. They already treated Su Bai as their master. Hua Jueming immediately decided to support Su Bai, but he was afraid of causing trouble for Su Bai, so he found a box that was neither too big nor too small, filled it with gold and brought it over.

"No, no, no!" Su Bai quickly denied, "I like it very much!" How could anyone not like gold? He just didn't expect that someone like Hua Gengchen would like such a simple and unadorned thing. Shouldn't he like antiques and calligraphy and paintings? It felt like that would be more in line with the identity of a reclusive family.

"I'm glad you like it!" Hua Jueming's heart, which had just been in turmoil, instantly calmed down.

The rest of the Su family were speechless with astonishment at the Hua family's extravagance—a whole chest full of gold! And the chest was huge, estimated to hold seventy or eighty pounds of stuff!

If Hua Jue knew what the Su family was thinking, he would have seriously corrected them: It's not just seventy or eighty jin, it's a full one hundred jin! It's a joyous occasion after all, so he naturally wanted to make it a perfect and auspicious number!

"Second Brother is really lucky!" Su Chengjun said sourly. "This box of gold must be worth a lot of money!" If only he had such a big box of gold...

Su Chengjun's words immediately made Su Bai tense, and he wanted to hold onto the box of gold tightly. He hadn't forgotten that the Su Group was currently in a bad situation. If Su Shengrong set his sights on this box of gold, he... he would fight Su Shengrong to the death!

Su Shengrong was indeed tempted, after all, it was a whole box of gold! And such a big box at that!

Before Su Shengrong could speak, Hua Jueming coldly reminded him, "Patriarch Su, this was specially prepared for Young Master Su Bai." He emphasized the words "specially" and "for Young Master Su Bai."

Su Shengrong was an old and shrewd man; how could he not understand the meaning behind Hua Jueming's words?

He was just annoyed. Hua Jueming was just a butler. What right did he have to say such things to him?

However, thinking of the Hua family behind Hua Jueming, Su Shengrong suppressed his anger. "Since it was specially prepared for Su Bai, it naturally belongs to Su Bai. No one but him has the right to control this box of gold."

If the Hua family can give Su Bai so much now, they will give him even more in the future. As long as Su Bai is still Su Shengrong's son, the Su family will always have the opportunity to get things from the Hua family.

Su Shengrong spoke, and Su Chengjun reluctantly lowered his head. If he could, he really wanted to keep that box of gold for himself!

Su Yangxia's gaze lingered on the gold for only a moment before returning to Su Bai, making Su Bai break out in a cold sweat and a strong sense of crisis slowly rise from the bottom of Su Bai's heart.

"Butler Hua, may I ask where I will live after I marry into the Hua family?" Su Bai felt that this box of gold could not be left in the Su family. What if Su Shengrong forced him to hand it over after Hua Jueming left? Su Bai could not allow such a thing to happen!

Hua Jueming hadn't expected Su Bai to ask such a question. After composing himself, he said, "It hasn't been decided yet, but does Young Master Su Bai have a preferred location? I can go back and make arrangements."

"I prefer the western suburbs. I have a villa there. Can I live there?" Su Bai had already decided to make good use of the system to farm, because this move could not only confuse Su Yangxia but also allow him to learn new skills. Moreover, he was also very curious about what would happen if the Shennong bloodline was activated to 100%. Would it be like leveling up in a game, where after reaching the maximum level, unexpected items would randomly drop?

Hua Jueming thought for a moment. It seemed that the Hua family also had a separate courtyard in the western suburbs. He would go back and send someone to clean it, and it would be ready to move in in ten days. "I will convey Young Master Su Bai's wishes to the head of the family."

"Thank you!" Su Bai smiled slightly and closed the lid of the box. "Since you brought people with you, could you please help me put this box at my future accommodation? There are only ten days left until the wedding, and I'm afraid I won't be able to manage it all."

Su Bai's words stunned everyone. Su Shengrong's face immediately fell, and he glared at Su Bai with an unfriendly expression. Su Chengjun, on the other hand, crossed his arms, ready to watch the show from the sidelines. Did Su Bai really think that marrying into the Hua family meant she could be carefree about nothing?

Su Yangxia watched Su Bai with a leisurely air. This person would do some unusual things from time to time, which was really hard to look away from.

Hua Jueming hesitated for a moment before agreeing; he was perfectly capable of helping with such a small matter.

After watching Hua Jueming leave, Su Bai skipped back to his room. He really hadn't expected that his marriage to Hua Gengchen would lead to so many good things happening.

After Su Bai left, Su Shengrong had Su Yangxia follow him into the study. As for Su Chengjun, Su Shengrong didn't even glance at him and had Uncle Xin dismiss him.

After arriving at the study, Su Shengrong placed the small box on the desk, pulled out a chair and sat down, with Su Yangxia standing opposite him.

"Yang Xia, what do you think of the Hua family?" Su Shengrong placed his hand on the box, tapping his fingers absently.

Su Yangxia replied, "Insufficient information, unable to make an evaluation!" Hidden families have always been mysterious, and their knowledge is limited, so Su Yangxia dared not make a hasty judgment.

However, judging from what happened today, they need to refresh their understanding of reclusive families. Seclusion can represent many things, not necessarily what they thought it was.

"So what do you think is inside?" Su Shengrong asked immediately.

Su Yangxia shook his head; he really couldn't guess. Judging from what had just happened, the small box should contain gold, but considering Hua Jueming's completely different attitudes towards Su Shengrong and Su Bai, Su Yangxia was unsure.

"I guess there's a check inside, for exactly three million," Su Shengrong said as he opened the box, revealing its contents.

"A check?" Su Yangxia was extremely surprised. She looked into the box and sure enough, she saw a check inside. Her eyes were fixed on the number. "How did Father know there was a check inside? And the amount is exactly three million?"

Su Shengrong chuckled, "Because my dowry for Su Bai is three million and a villa."

"Is the Hua family... standing up for Su Bai?" Su Yangxia hesitantly voiced her guess.

"Perhaps!" Su Shengrong relaxed and leaned back in his chair. "Yang Xia, investigate secretly and see if Su Bai had any dealings with the Hua family before returning to the Su family?"

"Yes!" Su Yangxia solemnly replied. He was also eager to know the answer to this question; the Hua family's attitude towards Su Bai was indeed rather strange. "If it is indeed found that Su Bai and the Hua family are connected, will the wedding still proceed as scheduled?"

"Of course!" Regardless of whether they are connected or not, Su Bai's marriage into the Hua family is entirely beneficial to the Su family, and Su Shengrong will never let this opportunity pass.

Having received the expected agreement, Su Yangxia couldn't quite manage a smile. In ten days, Su Bai would be getting married, and he would no longer have the opportunity to easily expose her true colors.

Thinking about it this way, the suppressed irritation surged up again, even stronger than before.
