After being forced to marry as a substitute, I became famous in the limbo

Chapter 69 Disagreement
Jiang Ning stuffed the exquisitely embroidered money bag into Zhe Liu's hands, and lay back on the bed facing the wall again, as if no one wanted to talk to him.

Zhe Liu was standing in the main hall holding the huge money bag blankly, not knowing how to react.

You know, with Jiang Ning's temperament that loves money like life, let alone such a big bag of money, even if a copper coin is lost, she will feel distressed for a long time.

If this bag of silver is really sent out, Jiang Ning will regret it at that time, and probably cannot resist jumping into the well.

Zhe Liu bowed his head, looking at the money bag in his hand with a complicated expression.

The money bag was about the size of a palm, and the light golden bag cloth had a delicate luster.In the center of the purse, a lifelike golden dragon is embroidered with fine stitches.

One look and you know it belongs to Mu Jingzhao.

Perhaps it was because it was stuffed with coins, and the smooth bag cloth was stretched out with several large and small folds, which bulged as if it would break open anytime and anywhere.

Zhe Liu carefully held the money bag in his palm, he couldn't help thinking that this thing was much more precious than his own life, and couldn't help feeling a little melancholy in his heart.

But at the same time, it also made her more careful.

Xu Shi never heard the movement of Zhe Liu going out, Jiang Ning repeated in a muffled voice, "Not yet."

As a result, no matter how frightened Zheliu was, he really didn't dare to refuse.

"Yes, empress." Zhe Liu carefully held the bag, turned around and left the main hall door.

In fact, Jiang Ning really wasn't trying to get angry with Mu Jingzhao by doing this.

The whole bag of gold was actually a deposit paid by Mu Jingzhao for leasing the land in Lenggong.

The reason why she agreed to give up the Lenggong land was because she believed that Mu Jingzhao sincerely wanted to understand the suffering of the people.

And the conversation she had with Mu Jingzhao not long ago made her belatedly realize that no matter how much the sky is plowed and how long the land is planted, people like Mu Jingzhao will never be able to understand the suffering of the people.

In this way, everything is meaningless.

Even the existence of this contract has no meaning.

She was certain in her heart that Mu Jingzhao's doing this was just a prank on the spur of the moment.

The land that I have worked so hard to reclaim will inevitably end up being left unused.

Therefore, she would rather not have this silver and take back the land to cultivate it herself.

Zhe Liu cautiously went out with the money bag in his hands, while Mu Jingzhao was still lazily lying beside the storytelling table set up by Jiang Ning.

His eyes were slightly closed, and his slightly disheveled head was leaning weakly on the chair, as if he had fallen asleep.

Facing Mu Jingzhao, who had just argued with Jiang Ning, Zhe Liu was naturally terrified.

She hesitated and took small steps to Mu Jingzhao's side, her lips twitched for a moment, but in the end she still couldn't say a word.

In the end, it was Mu Jingzhao who opened his eyes first, "What's the matter?" His voice was slightly hoarse, as if he was extremely tired.

He stood up, his posture still straight.

Zhe Liu hesitantly held the money bag in his hand to Mu Jingzhao.

Mu Jingzhao looked at the purse in Zheliu's hand, and narrowed his eyes slightly. The hostility that had just been at war with Jiang Ning just disappeared for a moment, and rushed to Mu Jingzhao's face again.

Zhe Liu was disturbed by his sudden change of face, and his hands holding the money bag couldn't help trembling.

"Your Majesty asked me to return it to you."

Zhe Liu tremblingly finished the whole sentence, but Mu Jingzhao kept his original movements, and did not speak for a long time.

"What does this mean?" Mu Jingzhao's face was ugly, and he never reached out to take the money bag.

"The slave does not know."

Mu Jingzhao raised his eyes and looked towards the gate of the palace not far away. The gate of the palace was wide open, but there was no trace of Jiang Ning.

"Go back." He said in a deep voice, "Tell her that since you have reached an agreement with me, you must abide by the spirit of the contract."

"Yes, yes!" Zhe Liu nodded again and again, ran back to the hall as if escaping, and handed the silver to Jiang Ning again.

However, Jiang Ning was not moved by it at all, "I don't want money anymore, I will plant this land myself, let's return it."

As a last resort, Zhe Liu once again ran to the courtyard with the money bag in his hand, but was prevaricated by Mu Jingzhao's words, "Then I should give you the reward for the cultivated land today".

But this time, Jiang Ning was so generous that he began to ask Zhe Liu to send a message to the other party to negotiate the price.

But the other party just said that as the Ninth Five-Year Supreme, the price is not something that Jiang Ning can pay at will.

As soon as these words fell into Jiang Ning's ears, he naturally lost his temper because of the rhetoric of "Nine-Five Supreme".

The two sides came and went, and quarreled again through Zheliu's mouth.

In the end, neither of the two sides backed down and compromised, and they were still sulking in their respective small areas.

Zhe Liu was so exhausted that he didn't even have the energy left to speak, let alone continue to pass on the message.

The matter of paying back the money is naturally over.

In the following days, Zheliu was worried, and even his walking pace slowed down a bit.

From then on, Lu Feng disappeared and did not dare to appear near the Lenggong, for fear of offending Mu Jingzhao and being punished.

Mu Jingzhao still lives in the cold palace with the excuse that the roof of the imperial library was destroyed.

It's just that he and Jiang Ning live their own lives, and they usually don't interfere with the river water. Even if they meet, they leave in a hurry as if they didn't see each other.

The two are clearly under the same roof, but they are strangers than strangers.

Jiang Ning didn't tell any more stories, and occasionally a few palace people habitually gathered at the gate of the Leng Palace during Shen Shi, and they were persuaded to go back by Zhe Liu because Jiang Ning was unwell.

At the beginning, the palace people would ask Zhe Liu to help express their concern because they were worried about Jiang Ning.

After a long time, everyone probably tasted some other flavors from it.

So I understood it and stopped coming to the daily Shenshi appointment.

In these free days, Jiang Ning began to concentrate on planning Liu Jinfu's birthday banquet.

Although the breakdown of her relationship with Mu Jingzhao may directly result in her not getting any remuneration, she is still very happy to prepare Liu Jinfu's birthday banquet.

It has nothing to do with silver.

Therefore, her life is quite fulfilling.

But what Jiang Ning didn't expect was that Mu Jingzhao didn't have the 3-minute hot cultivation as she expected.

On the contrary, he personally devoted himself to farming every day, and kept asking questions about willows whenever he was free.

A few days ago, Mu Jingzhao just loosened the soil and planted the prepared seeds.

Mu Jingzhao was quite concerned about the seeds he had planted for the first time, and would squat on the plowed fields every day to observe them for a long time.

There is quite a bit of sincere sincerity in it.

However, Mu Jingzhao's hard work seems to be unwilling to buy it.

He squatted for many days, but he didn't see any signs of sprouting in the cultivated land.

According to Zheliu, this kind of seed should have sprouted long ago, but no matter how many times Mu Jingzhao looked at it, there was still no sign of it.

So, he finally couldn't help becoming anxious.
