Chapter 807: Why Did Marquis Yongye Give You All the Money?
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Zitang knew that his sister had opened a sweet shop.
He thought that she was just playing around.
He hadn’t asked her about it for very long.
It turned out that she had grown the business?!
He suddenly realized something.
It was like when he was doing business previously.
He heard an old merchant who was his partner say that he couldn’t buy pastries from the Four Seasons Sweet Shop even if he queued up.
There’d also be new flavors introduced in each season.
If one wanted to taste summer pastries during winter, it didn’t just require them to invite the sweet shop’s old master to come to the manor to make it for them.
They would also need to have the ingredients that would be available during summer.
No matter which one it was, it was not a small expense.
The sweet shop had already become so amazing?
Gu Nuo’er looked at Gu Zitang in a daze.
Her long eyelashes fluttered and her voice was soft. “Second Brother, do you still want me to support you?”
After saying that, the child lowered her head and counted in her small waist pouch.
“Oh, you’re so good at spending money. I don’t think my few banknotes are enough for you to squander. It’s alright, Second Brother. Wait for me to work harder! I’ll support you for a year with this money first!”
The second prince’s trusted attendant couldn’t help but click his tongue when he heard this.
The little princess had no concept of money at all!
These were almost 5,000 silver taels worth of banknotes!
It wouldn’t be for just a year.
It was more than enough to support him for five years!
Their second prince was usually extravagant, but he wouldn’t speak in such a high-profile manner like the little princess was doing!
Gu Zitang quickly waved his hand. “Nuo’er, Brother is joking with you. Keep this money. A girl can’t do without having money on her.”
The child smiled, her eyes curved.
“Alright, but Second Brother, don’t worry. What Father gave me is more than this!”
Gu Zitang felt heartbroken.
Father! You’re indeed biased!
Gu Nuo’er wanted to say that her father had given her the keys to his private treasury.
However, she suddenly couldn’t remember where she had left it.
There was a good dragon-shaped tourmaline on the bunch of keys.
Previously, Gu Nuo’er thought that it looked good and raised it to refract a rainbow-like light under the sunlight, running around with it to play.
Uh… Where did she leave it?
Forget it, forget it. When Elder Brother Siming enters the palace, she’d ask him to help her sniff around and look for it!
After Gu Nuo’er thought it through, her small face was filled with a sweet smile.
She suddenly thought of something. “But Second Brother, don’t worry. Even if I can’t afford to support you, Elder Brother Siming will also support you!” Gu Zitang frowned warily. “What has it got to do with Marquis Yongye?”
“Elder Brother Siming gave me all the money the imperial court gives him every year. I didn’t expect his monkey t.i.tle to be so rich even though it doesn’t sound very amazing!”
Gu Nuo’er counted with her fingers. “The last time I went to check the bank account with him, there seemed to be… Oh, I lost count. It’s merely a few hundred thousand taels.”
Merely?!
Gu Zitang realized that his sister was the real precious child raised by gold and jade.
Compared to her, he was nothing!
Suddenly, Gu Zitang realized something.
“Why did Marquis Yongye give you the money instead of showing filial piety to General Bai and his wife?”
Gu Nuo’er blinked, her black eyes filled with light.
She shook her head honestly. “I don’t know either. Elder Brother Siming said that what’s his is mine and asked me to keep it.”
The child shrugged and smiled innocently and sweetly. “Maybe he doesn’t care!”
Gu Zitang felt that something was amiss.
On second thought, Marquis Yongye was a cold and arrogant person to begin with.
There was no order to what he did.
Perhaps he had given all the money to his sister just to repay her kindness!
As the siblings were talking, they suddenly heard a praise when they pa.s.sed by a rouge shop—
“Commandery Princess, this makeup with the painting on your forehead looks really good.”
