Chapter 239 Receiving Rewards and Expressing Gratitude
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuying frowned and sat down, saying, "I sent Shu Chen a total of five letters."
Li Shuchen held up five fingers and exclaimed in surprise, "Five letters? But I only received one! Where are the other four?"
Five fingers can become four
Upon hearing this, Liang Yuying lowered her head in deep thought.
Li Shuchen slammed his hand on the table: "Oh no! It must have been intercepted by Lord Bai. What kind of quirk does Lord Bai have? Why would he steal someone's letter for no reason? What kind of big secret could this letter contain?"
"Cough, cough, cough cough"
Liang Yuying suddenly coughed incessantly
Li Shuchen quickly handed her a glass of water: "Yuying, drink some water and smooth things out."
After drinking some water and calming down, Liang Yuying said, "There are no such letters in Lord Bai's home."
Li Shuchen looked incredulous: "What? He doesn't have any? How is that possible?"
Liang Yuying: "Indeed, no. Young Master Xiao handed over all the letters found in Lord Bai's house, and none of them were letters I wrote."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen remained silent for a while before whispering...
"Tell me, who stole the letter?"
"I don't know"
Li Shuchen gulped down a cup of tea, slammed the cup down, and said, "Never mind him, we'll deal with whatever comes our way. I, Li Shuchen, will definitely help you find these letters and find out who did this!"
Liang Yuying: Okay
No sooner had the words left his mouth than a sound came from outside.
"To intimidate the Grand General and receive the imperial decree."
Liang Yuying and Li Shuchen hurriedly came out of the house and knelt down, while Yiling also knelt down to one side.
Eunuch Wu: "His Majesty decrees that General Zhenshe be summoned to the palace at noon today to receive his reward. So be it."
Liang Yuying stretched out both hands: "Your subject obeys the decree."
Everyone stood up
With a smile on his face, Eunuch Wu looked at Liang Yuying and said, "General Liang, then I'll take my leave first."
Li Shuchen gave Grape a look, and Grape handed a heavy purse to Eunuch Wu.
Liang Yuying: May my father-in-law rest in peace.
When
Li Shuchen helped Liang Yuying change her clothes
"Yuying, be careful of the injury to your chest. Don't strain your left hand, and don't overexert yourself."
Liang Yuying smiled and said, "Okay."
Li Shuchen and Yiling saw Liang Yuying off as she boarded the carriage to the palace.
Yi Ling said, "Shu Chen, I should go back too. I have a performance at Ya Qing Xuan tonight."
Li Shuchen: "Go ahead, be careful on the road."
Everyone's gone
Li Shuchen returned to the courtyard, looked around, picked up a broom, and began sweeping, humming as he swept.
Being clean brings good fortune.
Being clean is a sign of good fortune.
Money, money, money, money!
They all went into my pocket.
After sweeping the yard, splash some water, then weed, and finally water the flowers.
Tassel tree, grow up quickly!
Li Shuchen squatted down to look at the newly sprouted leaves, overjoyed. Her flower had survived! Hahaha!
Liang Yuying: "Shu Chen, what are you laughing at?"
Li Shuchen: "Look at the flowers I planted, they've sprouted!"
Liang Yuying praised Li Shuchen as if he were a child: "Shuchen is really amazing!"
Li Shuchen reacted and stood up, saying, "Hey, why are you back so soon?"
Liang Yuying: "Naturally, it was the Emperor who bestowed the reward so quickly."
Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. He knew the Emperor's gifts must be rare and valuable items, and quickly asked...
"What did the Emperor bestow upon you?"
Liang Yuying: "Purple Pearl"
Upon hearing this, Zizhu carried the plate to Li Shuchen.
"Miss Li, please."
Li Shuchen happily lifted the red cloth.
Wow, what is this?
This is her favorite item, her favorite color.
Gold ingots! My goodness! Twenty plump, fifty-tael gold ingots, neatly arranged...
Li Shuchen couldn't resist picking one up and holding it in her hands, rubbing it against her face. It was so heavy, so high-quality; no wonder it was gold. She loved its substantial weight.
Then, looking at the whole plate of gold ingots in Zizhu's hand, he asked...
"Zizhu, is it heavy for you to carry? Or should I help you carry it?"
Zizhu smiled and handed the entire plate of gold ingots to Li Shuchen.
Li Shuchen happily accepted it; she wanted to receive its good fortune and make a fortune. She planned to sleep with it that night, hehehe.
But that 100 pounds is no joke; it's incredibly heavy.
She held it for a while, but then she couldn't hold it anymore; it was too strenuous.
"Here you go, Purple Pearl."
Li Shuchen offered it to Zizhu, but Zizhu refused to take it and even backed away, leaving him dumbfounded.
"Hey, Zizhu, catch it!"
She really can't hold on any longer, she's about to fall!
Liang Yuying: "Shu Chen, this is yours."
What? How could this be hers?
Li Shuchen frowned and said, "Yuying, have you lost your mind after going to the palace? This was just a gift from the Emperor!"
Liang Yuying said, word by word, "I'll give it all to you."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and he stammered in disbelief.
"Give me...give me a gift?"
Liang Yuying: "Yes, my ability to become the Great General of Intimidation and to return in triumph is all thanks to Shu Chen's silent contributions behind the scenes. This sum of money is far from enough to compensate for it, and Shu Chen absolutely cannot refuse."
Li Shuchen stared at the gold and swallowed hard.
My God, this gold is like a dream come true!
No, it has to be returned to Yuying.
"Yuying, didn't you want to buy a house and move out to live with Aunt Liang? This money is just enough for you."
Liang Yuying: "I already have a residence. The Emperor bestowed upon me a General's Mansion, which is located on East Street."
Li Shuchen: "Oh, that's good. But you need money for daily life too. How can you give it all to me?"
Liang Yuying: "I don't need much silver, so keeping it is useless to me. I might as well give it to you."
Seeing Liang Yuying's resolute attitude, Li Shuchen stopped refusing, took the gold into the house, and placed it on the table.
Wow, is this the power of wealth? It's so heavy, her arms are aching.
Li Shuchen rubbed his arm and asked, "What official position did the Emperor appoint you to? A high-ranking official of the second rank?"
Liang Yuying: "They didn't bestow the title; it's still to intimidate the General."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen muttered under his breath, "You've performed such a great service, yet you haven't been promoted or given a title. The Emperor, the ruler of a nation, is far too stingy."
Liang Yuying smiled and said, "I have petitioned for an imperial decree for my mother."
Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen understood: "Oh, so she's been granted an imperial title. That's good. With an imperial title, Madam Liang won't be easily bullied by others."
Liang Yuying nodded: "After the General's Mansion is repaired, I plan to bring my mother to live there."
Li Shuchen clapped his hands happily and said, "Great! I'll go with you to pick her up. That way, Mother Liang will be free."
Liang Yuying: "Mmm"
Her mother deserves a good life.
Li Shuchen suddenly stood up and said, "I'm going to cook a few dishes to celebrate and welcome you back."
Liang Yuying: "Shu Chen, there's no need for such trouble. A simple home-cooked meal will suffice."
Li Shuchen shook his head and refused: "No, no, this is different, we must celebrate."
Liang Yuying: "Then I'll have Zizhu help you."
Li Shuchen nodded: "Okay, you rest well in the room. Zizhu, come with me to the kitchen."
Purple Pearl: "Yes"
Bang bang, clang clang
Liang Yuying lay on the tatami mat, listening to the sounds coming from the kitchen, a smile playing on her lips. It felt so good to be cared for.
soon
Grapes and purple pearls then brought the dishes into the house one after another.
Li Shuchen: "All ten dishes have been served. Yuying, are you satisfied?"
Liang Yuying put the book down, stood up, and said, "I like anything you make."
