She glanced over to Rong Ling who was beside her.

He thought to himself, this person looks like a shrewd person, but why is there such a brainless arrangement in the residence?

Walking in front of the emperor had always been a taboo. The emperor was suspicious of everything, and you had the military power, so how come you didn't know how to keep a low profile?

Although Rong Ling looked impressive on the outside, he was actually just a thorn in the side to the Qianling Emperor's suspicions. This bestowal was a warning to him.

Liu Wei became silent. She had long known that the capital was in danger, but she had not expected it to be so dangerous.

The Liu Family could be seen at any time. The sin of bullying the monarch was on their bodies. Under the imperial power politics, everyone was a chess piece or an ant in the hands of those in power.

She came from the modern world, and knew more about the autocratic and terrifying nature of imperial power.

Furthermore, they had met an Emperor who was suspicious, wise, and not at all out of sorts. Liu Wei felt that if she was no longer cautious, her head would fall to the ground at any moment.

With this thought, she became even more frustrated. She thought, quickly finish what she needed to do, and hurriedly leave. In the capital, it was best to avoid coming here and never come here again.

As she thought of this, she asked, "What did you say you wanted my help for? When can we start? "

Rong Ling raised his eyebrows: Why are you suddenly in a hurry?

"Since we are already in the capital, it is only natural that we have more important matters to attend to first." She spoke righteously.

Rong Ling declined to comment and continued to bring her to the front: "We need to prepare, and we will begin once we are ready."

"As soon as possible."

"Right." The man replied.

After the two walked for a while, Liu Wei realized that there were not many servants around them.

He thought to himself, it seems that Rong Ling was not stupid. Although the Emperor had bestowed him a noble Duke Palace, he knew the deep meaning behind it all.

He was a wise man, neither arrogant nor impetuous, neither servile nor overbearing, but rather appropriate, and his thoughts were profound.

If it had been anyone else with a short line of thought, they would have thought His Majesty truly valued them and treated them like food.

This kind of person would often end up miserable in the end.

They entered the second main courtyard.

The butler came out to welcome him, Rong Ling waved his hand and then ordered: "Go and pack your luggage from Xi Long Garden, leave them in the carriage outside, then go to the warehouse to bring the four treasure chests over."

When the three of them entered the main hall, a servant girl immediately served them tea.

Xiaoli drank a mouthful of tea and suddenly put the cup down. He jumped off the chair and ran out of the courtyard.

"Xiaoli." Rong Ling called out.

Xiaoli did not stop, in the blink of an eye, he had already disappeared.

"Follow the little gongzi, don't let anyone hurt him." Rong Ling immediately told the servant girl.

The servant girl hurriedly lifted her skirt and chased after him.

Seeing Rong Ling looking at his, she then added: "It's Pearl, don't worry about him."

Pearl Rong Ling knew that Wu Xing, the person raised by Liu Wei, had not seen him for a while and thought that the bird had stayed in Qujiang County.

"If you want to raise a bird, why don't you have a thrush or a parrot? Nurturing Wu Xing, how dare you think of such a thing. " Knowing that the little fellow was fine, Rong Ling relaxed his heart and slowly scooped up the tea as well.

Liu Wei placed the teacup down, and said indifferently: "The pearl is from my family."

Rong Ling raised her eyebrows and looked at her.

Liu Wei did not care about it at all. To her, the pearl was someone that had traveled with her from the modern world, a true family member.

She could no longer go back to that era. She and Pearl were orphans, and had to depend on each other.

Even if the pearl was just a bird that knew nothing, it had an extraordinary significance to her.

After a while, the butler brought over a square exquisite box and respectfully presented it in front of Rong Ling.

Rong Ling opened the box and inside, there was a stack of silver notes.

When he saw the banknotes, Liu Wei became energetic and sat up straight. He knew that the time to settle the bill had finally come!

Liu Wei stood up, walked two steps towards him and gestured: "Five thousand." As she spoke, her eyes were glued to the banknotes.

Liu Wei did not forget to say: "Actually, this is already good enough, general does not need to think that it is easy for me to do those things, but in reality, it is extremely tiring, if I were to change, I would not even be able to do 10% of the work in a year, furthermore Master has been taking good care of me while I was here, I have already broken my schedule."

Within two or three steps, she had already stood in front of Rong Ling. There was a kind and gentle smile on her face that she had not seen for a few months.

Rong Ling wanted to laugh, this woman had gone too far.

He took out a five thousand taels banknote and waved it in his hand.

Liu Wei pursed his lips to look at his hand, and the smile on her face could not keep up.

"Milord." She spread her hands, clear.

Rong Ling laughed lightly, she looked at the banknotes, and then at her face, and then placed the banknotes back into the box, and with a kacha sound, she closed the box.

Liu Wei suddenly let go of her hand that was floating in the air, she then flipped her sleeves and frowned, laughing coldly: "I knew that you, general, would not be so easy to deal with, tell me, how are you willing to pay?"

Rong Ling found it funny: "Of course I have to pay for it, it just depends on how I pay for it."

Liu Wei raised her eyebrows, sat beside him, and tried to suppress her anger: "Then how do you want to pay for the general?"

Liu Wei snorted: What do you mean?

Rong Ling opened the Exquisite Box again and opened a stack of banknotes. She took out the bottom most pressed envelope and handed it over to Liu Wei.

Butler's eyelids jumped: "Master, this is..."

"Uncle Ming." Rong Ling interrupted the butler.

The steward held his breath and could only keep his mouth shut. He was worried, [How can I give this to someone else?]

And a man.

[Is this grandpa confused?]

Liu Wei watched as the two of them interacted, and then looking at the envelope, he became a little interested. She took the envelope and took out the contents inside, and after looking at it, he was immediately stunned.

In the next second, she slammed the envelope onto the table and suddenly stood up: "Rong Ling, what do you mean!"
