Then, he took his clothes and retrieved a stack of things from his pocket.
“But it’s not like 1 can’t give you anything. A total of 30,000 taels. It’s enough for you to buy a few shops.” As he spoke, he passed the silver notes to Qin Xiaoyao.
Qin Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment before her eyes lit up and she quickly accepted the silver notes.
She had no choice. Although her century egg workshop and porridge shops were very profitable, her expenses had been huge recently.
In the early stages of her business, her funds were still a little low.
However, with these 30,000 taels, she did not have to worry about anything else henceforth.
Many plans did not need to be postponed and could be directly put on the agenda.
When she thought of this, Qin Xiaoyao leaned close to Song Rui and kissed him hard on the cheek.
“Thank you, Hubby! Hubby is really the pillar of support in our family!”
Song Rui was very pleased to hear that.
He pulled his wife into his arms again.
“When this matter is over, 1 will hand over all the assets in my hands to you,” he said.
Qin Xiaoyao’s eyes lit up, and her heart was filled with honey.
Didn’t they say that wherever a man’s money was, his heart would be there? What confession could be more touching than this?
Qin Xiaoyao stayed in Song Rui’s arms for a while before breaking free from his arms.
“When are you planning to arrange for Shen Rong and Meng Xuan to leave?” she asked.
“Probably three days later, when the uproar has died down some more.” Delaying for too long would also be risky. Three days later, when the buzz of the burial of the Prime Minister’s daughter had died down, it should be about the right time.
When he thought of Shen Rong’s funeral, Song Rui couldn’t help but think of the new fiancee that Minister Shen had forced upon him. He couldn’t resist frowning.
Qin Xiaoyao noticed the change and looked at him.
“What’s wrong?”
A look of hesitation flashed across Song Rui’s eyes.
He held back for a while, but eventually still told her the issue.
“Shen Lian?” Qin Xiaoyao’s face immediately clouded over when she heard that.
It wasn’t easy to get rid of one Shen Rong, and now there was another Shen Lian?
How many daughters did Minister Shen have?
Also, how much did this Minister Shen like her husband? Why did he have to insist on making Song Rui his son-in-law?
When he saw Qin Xiaoyao’s reaction, a hint of guilt flashed across Song Rui’s face, and he immediately pulled Qin Xiaoyao into his arms again.
“The situation was urgent at that time. In order to prevent that old fox from getting suspicious, 1 could only agree verbally first.”
He saw Qin Xiaoyao raising her head and looking at him angrily.
“But don’t worry, my dear,” Song Rui quickly explained.
“Your husband has told the old fox that the marriage can only be discussed after Shen Lian enters the Prime Minister’s residence.
“Also, because of Shen Rong’s matter, Mrs. Shen’s relationship with the old fox has completely broken down.
“This time, 1 helped Mrs. Shen. Now, she wants to rope me in to deal with the old fox.
“The old fox is keeping a woman outside behind Mrs. Shen’s back and now he wants to bring his illegitimate daughter into the Prime Minister’s residence. Mrs. Shen will not let him and that Shen Lian have an easy time.”
Yes, he already knew about Mrs. Shen’s compromise.
He also knew that she had used this condition to exchange for her release from house arrest and the right to preside over Shen Rong’s funeral arrangements.
However, her only daughter was forced to her death by Minister Shen, and she had to watch her husband bring the illegitimate daughter into the residence to take over her own daughter’s position.
As the daughter of the Jia family and the Empress’s biological elder sister, how could she possibly swallow this?
Speaking of which, Song Rui had never thought of using Shen Rong’s matter to make the Shen couple become estranged or even fight.
It was actually a pleasant surprise for him that things had developed to this stage.
Qin Xiaoyao cast a strange look at Song Rui.
“Everyone says that Minister Shen’s love for his Mistress is deep and unwavering. Even though Mrs. Shen only gave birth to a daughter, he did not take in a concubine. He doesn’t even have a personal maidservant in an adjoining room in the residence..”
