Chapter 1176

The emperor suddenly sent these two eunuchs to interrogate him and the questions they asked were completely unrelated. What was the meaning of this?

Even though Li Zhixing thought he was smart, he was still confused. He could not understand the meaning behind Chen Ning's words.

Could it be that the emperor was still suspicious of him because of the stolen blueprints?

But with the imperial edict this morning, Chu Shao Yang had already been sentenced to prison. Could it be that something had changed?

But he observed Chen Ning's expression. The emperor did not seem to be suspicious of him. If he was suspicious, he would not have sent these two little eunuchs to interrogate him. The emperor would have already summoned him into the palace and personally interrogated him.

Li Zhixing thought of the questions Chen Ning had asked him and his heart fell back into his stomach. He was just an incompetent little eunuch, what did he know!

Chen Ning and Xiao Ru turned the corner and arrived at a place where there was no one. She took out the red envelope that Li Zhixing had given her from her sleeve and opened it. There was only a thin piece of paper inside.

"So stingy!" Xiao Ru could not help flattening her lips. She recognized that it was the banknote of the largest bank in the capital.

But he only gave her one and it was at most two hundred silver coins.

"Stingy?" Chen Ning revealed a faint smile. She took out the banknote and waved it in front of Xiao Ru.

"My god, it's actually gold! An entire one hundred gold coins! " Xiao Ru finally realized that it was not a banknote, but rather a one hundred gold coins banknote. Her eyes suddenly popped out and began to shine.

"He, he, who would have thought that I would make a small fortune on this trip out of the palace. This sir Li is really generous, giving out one hundred gold coins in one go. Xiao Ru, this is for you."

Chen Ning smiled as she handed the gold banknote over to Xiao Ru.

"This servant can't take it, this ….. this is too much." Xiao Ru did not dare take it. This one hundred gold coins was worth at least a few thousand silver coins.

"If I say take it, then take it. Since this is ill-gotten money, you can keep it as your dowry." Chen Ning giggled and stuffed the gold banknote into Xiao Ru's hands.

Hearing the word "dowry", Xiao Ru's face could not help turning red.

Of course she knew that in this era, a woman's dowry represented her status. She was a maid, so if she did not have a dowry, she would be looked down upon by her husband's family.

But if she had a large dowry, then she would be looked down upon.

But if she had a large dowry, then she would be looked up by others.

"Eldest Miss, I don't want to. I will never marry in this life. I will always follow Eldest Miss. I won't marry anyone." She said with a firm expression.

"Silly girl." Chen Ning smiled and put away the gold bills. She pinched her cheeks and said, "Alright, then I'll help you put them away first. When you get married, I'll give you another box."

Xiao Ru stomped her foot, "Young miss, you always want this servant to marry someone. Is it because this servant is too stupid and you don't want this servant to stay by your side to serve you?"

She pursed her lips in grievance and almost cried out.

Chen Ning smiled and said, "If I say I want you to get married now, then you'll start crying. In a few years, if I don't want you to get married, then I don't know how much you'll cry, hee, hee."

Xiao Ru's face turned red from her teasing. She wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. Tears began to form in her eyes.
