"Miss Lin, Miss Lin, the master is here."

Outside the door, Mrs. Liu's hurried voice came closer and closer.

Lin Shuyue came back to her senses and got up and walked out of the east wing with some surprise. As soon as she came out, she saw the slender figure under the peach tree.

"Master Ye."

She walked closer slowly, caught a glimpse of the pile of things on the stone table, and immediately guessed why Ye Han came.

Seeing Lin Shuyue, Ye Han's eyes lit up and he said in a gentle voice, "Miss Lin, I apologize for my intrusion."

"It's okay." Lin Shuyue shook her head. This was someone else's house.

However, she had already planned to go to the brokerage office to see if there were any suitable houses for sale. It would not be convenient to live in someone else's house.

"Miss Lin, I came here for two things."

"Sit down and talk."

Lin Shuyue interrupted him and walked to the stone table and sat down. The two little girls Qinghe and Qingzhi quickly brought tea.

Ye Han sat on the stone bench opposite Lin Shuyue with a smile in his eyes, and said in a simple and shocking tone: "Miss Lin, the two have been dealt with, and the girls have also sent people to send them back with the imperial edict."

"Well, that's good." Lin Shuyue glanced at him unobtrusively.

Well, there is a slight blue tint under his eyes, it seems that he has been staying up all night. I admire his professionalism.

"Ms. Lin, please keep these things." Ye Han pointed to the pile of things on the table.

“Since this case involves the Qinghe Sect, in order to protect Miss Lin’s safety, His Majesty has asked Ye to hand over these rewards to you in private.

Don't worry, these things are from His Majesty's private treasury and are not registered."

Lin Shuyue nodded. It seemed that the new emperor was quite thoughtful in his actions.

She opened one of the slightly larger carved boxes, and the golden light made her smile.

Oh, a box of gold, not bad, who would complain about having too much money?

Ye Han watched her with a smile as she checked the things on the table one by one.

"this?"

Lin Shuyue picked up the night-shining pearl, which was as big as an adult man's fist, from a small rosewood box, feeling happy but also a little puzzled.

This top-quality night-shining pearl is much more valuable than the one hundred taels of gold. Isn't this reward too expensive?

"Miss Lin." Ye Han lowered his voice slightly. "This case is special. His Majesty cannot announce your contribution to the public. Therefore, this Night Pearl is also meant to compensate you. Just accept it with peace of mind."

Hmm? Got it.

Under normal circumstances, the reward would be bestowed by someone from the palace with an imperial decree and with great fanfare.

In this way, in the eyes of outsiders, she, Lin Shuyue, was someone who had been listed in the emperor's name.

When she moved around the capital, no one dared to touch her at will, at least they had to be considerate of her on the surface.

Now her contribution cannot be announced to the public, so she can only be rewarded quietly.

She opened another exquisite little box and took a look. Seeing the box full of golden peanuts and silver melon seeds, Lin Shuyue smiled.

"Okay, thank you for your trip, Lord Ye." She said with a smile, holding up the teacup.

Ye Han was slightly stunned, then he chuckled, and like a magic trick, he took out a small box from behind and handed it to Lin Shuyue.

"Miss Lin, you saved my life. This is a small token of my appreciation."

Huh? Anything else?

Lin Shuyue raised her eyebrows, took the box and opened it. Inside was a stack of silver bills with a face value of 100 taels. Judging from the thickness, it was estimated that there were about 4,000 to 5,000 taels. Lord Ye was quite generous.

Today is such a good day, I make money early in the morning!

Just as she was thinking this, she saw Ye Han take out a crescent jade pendant from his arms and handed it to her.

"Also, please accept this jade pendant, young lady."

“If you need my help in the future, you can always come to Wu’an Marquis Mansion with the jade pendant to find me.

If anyone in the mansion sees this jade pendant, they will inform me immediately."

Lin Shuyue took the jade pendant. It had a warm color and a fine texture. One could tell at a glance that the quality of the jade pendant was top quality.

This thing…

She raised her head and looked straight at Ye Han, her clear eyes filled with a hint of inquiry.

When Ye Han met her gaze, he felt a sudden panic for no reason, but he still had a warm smile on his face.

"Okay, I'll take the jade pendant." Lin Shuyue retracted her gaze and placed the jade pendant on the box.

With this jade pendant, their Lin family will have an extra guarantee in the future. What's more, this is the jade pendant of the dreaded Jinyiwei commander.

Seeing her accept the jade pendant, Ye Han secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking of her action of serving tea to see him off just now, he felt a little amused and then stood up to say goodbye.

After Ye Han left, Lin Shuyue smiled and called Qinghe, Qingzhi and Qingsheng who was guarding the door to come forward, and took a handful of golden peanuts from another small box and shared them with them.

"Come, come, come, whoever sees it gets a share!"

"Wow! Thanks miss!"

Qingzhi thanked him happily and couldn't let go of the golden peanuts.

Qingsheng and Qinghe were much more stable, but their faces were also full of joy at this moment.

Looking at the sun, it was almost noon, and Lin Shuyue waved her hand.

"I am very happy today! Qingsheng, go and get the carriage. I will take you to a restaurant!"

"Okay, I'll go right away!"

The two little maids Qinghe and Qingzhi moved the things on the table back to the east wing one by one.

As soon as he entered the room, Lin Shuyue waved his hand and put all these things into the space.

After thinking for a while, she grabbed another handful of silver melon seeds and gave them to Qinghe, then glanced at Mrs. Liu who was cleaning the yard.

Qinghe understood, went back to her room, took out a purse she had embroidered, put the silver melon seeds in it, and walked towards Mrs. Liu with the purse.

After Lin Shuyue and his group left the house, Mrs. Liu took out the purse from her arms and saw the dozen silver melon seeds in the purse. She immediately smiled.

Qingsheng drove the carriage carefully towards Yumen Street.

When they went out, they asked Liu Pozi, who said that there were many restaurants and teahouses on Yumen Street, among which Guangjulou was the most popular among gourmets, but it was the price that stopped many customers.

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Lin Shuyue just waved her hand and walked away!

"The capital is still bustling!"

The two little girls Qinghe and Qingzhi stared at the crowded streets outside the carriage without blinking, sighing constantly.

"Miss, how long will we stay in the capital?" Qingzhi turned around and asked Lin Shuyue excitedly.

Lin Shuyue was eating melon seeds and listening to the noise outside the carriage. After hearing her words, she smiled and said, "Why, you can't bear to leave the capital?"

Qingzhi grinned, "That's not the case. I still think Lanshan Village is better. I can go hunting in the mountains and go fishing in the sea. It's not that comfortable in the capital."

Then he squatted down in front of Lin Shuyue, gently patted her thigh with his hand, shook his head and said: "This capital city is bustling, but I don't feel at ease here.

You know, just when we came out of Huai'an Lane and walked here, in such a short distance, I saw several groups of rich families with servants, and the scene was a bit scary."

"And that Lord Ye, he seems gentle, but his aura is so overwhelming that neither I nor Sister Qinghe dared to raise our heads. Don't you think so? Sister Qinghe?"

"Yes, yes, yes." Qinghe held back her laughter and agreed with her.
