Chapter 19 Money Obsession
"Don't move. Look at the dress behind the pillar." Because they were too close, Ren Jingzhi's breath felt on the back of her neck, making her feel itchy and her face hot. After she calmed down a little, she followed his instructions and looked behind her. Sure enough, a piece of pink skirt was revealed behind the large pillar on the left at the end of the passage.
It turned out that this icy-faced man was not trying to take advantage of her, but was really acting. It seemed that she had wronged him. Since it was acting, it had to be more realistic, right? She turned sideways and gave Ren Jingzhi a kiss on the face.
This woman is really someone who never takes any loss. I just hugged her, but she actually... His face turned red all the way to his neck, and he was stunned for a moment. Shen Yiran couldn't help but laugh at that silly expression and burst out laughing.
When Shen Yunqiao saw the interaction between the two, she clenched her hand that was pulling her clothes into a fist, her nails digging deeply into her palm. Her eyes were bloodshot because of jealousy, and her teeth were chattering. "I won't let you have it easy!" She slowly stood up and staggered back.
"She's gone!" Shen Yiran pushed Ren Jingzhi away, stood up, and after tidying up her dress as usual, she pushed Ren Jingzhi towards the carriage. Lin Bei and Yun'er followed. Shen Yiran was the first to get on the carriage. As soon as she got in, she heard a piercing scream, "Ah..."
Ren Jing's heart sank suddenly, and he jumped into the carriage. He saw Shen Yiran, who looked desperate, slumped in the carriage. He looked around and found nothing unusual in the carriage. He asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you?"
"My return gift is gone." Seeing her distressed look, the corners of his mouth rose slightly. Could it be that his wife is a money-grubber?
Hearing the Crown Princess' scream, Lin Bei roughly understood what was going on. He moved closer to the door of the carriage and said, "Crown Princess, I have already sent the return gift back to Huaxiyuan." She got up excitedly, rushed to Lin Bei in two steps, and grabbed him. "Are you telling the truth? Are you sure?" She still asked for confirmation with some disbelief.
"It's true. I sent it back personally." Suddenly, Lin Bei felt a cold gaze coming at him, which made him shiver. He raised his head and saw his master's cold eyes staring at his hands. He thought, "It's over, it's over, it looks like these hands can't be saved." He nervously pulled his hands back.
Shen Yiran was still immersed in the joy of regaining what she had lost, humming, "Today is a good day, everything I wish for can come true..." This kind of joy can only be understood by those who have experienced it personally. She returned to the carriage, happily grabbed Ren Jingzhi's arm and shook it, "My return gift is still there, it's still there, haha..."
This woman, does she know what is the taboo between men and women? Will she grab other men at will whenever she feels like it in the future? In an instant, his face darkened, and Wen angrily said, "Don't be so ignorant in the future!" Oh, this man is angry. She smiled awkwardly, withdrew her hand, and complained in her heart, "There are so many broken rules in ancient times."
But these did not affect her. She sat upright and began to plan her future life and how to make good use of her first start-up capital. Whether in ancient times or modern times, women cannot rely on men for support. They must have independent financial ability to better control their own lives.
She planned to start some business when her life became more stable, and not live off her savings. But she didn't know much about this dynasty, so what could she do? Suddenly, she remembered the novels she had read in her previous life. Didn't the heroines always start with their mother's dowry? Today, she had planned to ask her brother about her mother's dowry, but she didn't expect something like that to happen.
Along the way, the two people in the car didn't speak, each with their own thoughts. Ren Jingzhi still had a sullen face, but he calmed down the moment he got off the car. In the near future, they will all become old actors.
Entering the mansion, Shen Yiran was still pushing Ren Jingzhi. The two of them smiled and whispered from time to time. The maid in the mansion greeted them respectfully on the surface, but in fact she was secretly mocking them, "What's the point of loving each other? There's not much time left."
Shen Yiran felt more relaxed when she stepped into Huaxiyuan. She was a little tired after a day of acting. After experiencing it, she realized that it was not easy to be a movie star. But when she thought of her return gifts, she immediately became energetic.
"Yun'er, come on, let's go back to the room." Her eyes flashed with irrepressible excitement. Only when these treasures were placed in the space would they truly belong to her.
"Yes, Miss." The master and servant hurriedly walked towards the side room. Shen Yiran looked at the return gifts and took a few steps forward involuntarily, her steps as light as a dancing butterfly. She raised her hands unconsciously and carefully picked up another warm jade pendant, rubbing it in her palm, feeling its delicate texture, and muttered to herself: "This is so beautiful!"
Then she opened a beautiful little box and took out a jade hairpin. The jade was fine and flawless, and it felt warm to the touch, as if it contained endless vitality. "Yun'er, come here." The girl quickly leaned forward and said, "Here you go!"
"Miss, is this really for me? It's so beautiful." Her eyes sparkled with surprise, and she covered her mouth with her hands unconsciously, her voice trembling slightly with excitement. "Of course it's for you, look how happy you are." As she said that, she stuffed the jade hairpin into her hand.
She held the jade hairpin carefully, as if she were holding the most precious treasure in the world, and examined it carefully, muttering to herself: "I have never seen such a beautiful thing. The young lady is so kind to me."
A bright smile spread across her face, full of gratitude and joy, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. "Miss, I will serve you more wholeheartedly in the future to repay your kindness."
Shen Yiran smiled cheerfully, "Follow me, there will be better things in the future." The master and servant looked at the gifts for a long time. Suddenly, Yun'er asked nervously, "Miss, where do we hide these treasures?" Needless to say, of course they are hidden in the space, but she couldn't say that to this girl, "Don't worry, your lady has her own place to hide them."
"That's great!" The maid looked relieved, which amused Shen Yiran. It seemed that her maid was also a money-grubber like her. Now, she had to get rid of her so that she could put the things into the space. "Yun'er, I'm thirsty. Go get some water."
"Okay, Miss." She walked out lightly. Shen Yiran stretched her head to look outside, and when she was sure that there was no one around, she used her mind to store all the gifts into the space. She clapped her hands in satisfaction, her face filled with joy.
She thought that Yun'er wouldn't be back so soon, and since she was free anyway, she might as well go into the space and put the gifts that she had just put in in order, so she slipped into the space.
She stepped on a hard object on the floor of the space and almost fell down. She bent down to pick it up and saw that it was a dagger. Why did this dagger look familiar?
