“I promise I won’t.”
Bu Yaolian went back with the box.
Feng Qingtian asked Gu Bailu curiously, “What happened?”
Amused, Gu Bailu told him what Bu Yaolian had done. “This silly girl has no sense at all.”
“Is it really okay to leave the Sky Splitting Mirror with her?”
“Absolutely. Since Su Shenfan wants us to return the Sky Splitting Mirror to show our sincerity, then we’ll take it out. There’s nothing wrong with putting it in Lian’er’s hands, however. Lian’er belongs to him; he can’t be that mistrustful.”
Feng Qingtian stroked the top of her head. “You have a lot of ideas. I’m going to wash up. Are you really not going to go offer sacrifices to the gods today?”
“I’m not going. I might as well sleep for a while.”
Feng Qingtian nodded and went inside.
Bu Yaolian had left in a huff, but came back all smiles.
The Three Golden Flowers stopped her outside the palace. “Sister Lian’er, where did you go so early in the morning? Did you get some treasure, to make you so happy?”
Bu Yaolian smiled. “I don’t know who set up a money tree outside the door, but it drops money when you shake it. Go and take a look.”
“Really?”
“It’s true. Many palace servants are shaking it.”
Bu Yaolian wasn’t lying. Many people had come to the palace this year, and they were all young masters from noble families.
It was boring hanging around the palace and asking around about the supreme pill, so they naturally had to find their own entertainment.
Someone had decorated a gleaming golden tree with money pouches that would fall after a few shakes.
Bu Yaolian had just picked up two.
“Hurry up and take a look. I picked up two. There’s quite a lot of money. There’s seven or eight liang in each bag. That’s enough for me to eat for the whole of next year,” Bu Yaolian said happily.
The Three Golden Flowers’ expressions changed slightly.
Seven or eight liang can make you so happy.
It seemed that Shao Zun didn’t pamper her too much. He didn’t even give her money.
“We won’t go. We don’t lack money. Leave it to the palace servants. They need it.”
These words sounded kind and understanding.
However, Bu Yaolian felt that something was wrong.
Oh, they were implying that she was on the same level as the palace servants, and had to compete with them for money.
As if she didn’t understand, Bu Yaolian said with a smile, “You’re really beautiful and kind.”
She then ran off to her room.
The Three Golden Flowers pouted. “She must be from a small family. She doesn’t even have spiritual power.”
“Sister Lian’er is so pitiful. She can only use seven or eight liang a year. Should we give her some?”
“It’s right to give her some, to let Shao Zun know that we care for each other.”
Bu Yaolian didn’t know what they were talking about behind her back, but she was in a good mood.
With the Sky Splitting Mirror in hand, she would see if Shao Zun wouldn’t give her back her money.
“Where did you run off to?” Su Shenfan put down the book in his hand when he saw her. “Why did you run out so early in the morning? Do you want me to tie you up?”
Bu Yaolian went over and hugged his waist. She took out two money bags and showed them off. “I got two money bags. They add up to more than ten liang.”
Su Shenfan couldn’t even be bothered to look at her disdainfully.
“That’s a lot.” Su Shenfan stood up. “Come and have some food.”
