The whole family of villains listens to my heart, the Regent Prince treats me dearly.

Chapter 86 Money Falls from the Sky While Sitting at Home

Gu Xiruo walked over quickly and looked at the room full of gold and silver jewelry, her mouth slightly agape in surprise.

"General, this..."

Before the two could react, a sound suddenly came from outside the cave.

"Sir, look! There seems to be a cave over there!"

"Search!"

Zhai Sangjie's eyes suddenly became alert. Like a cheetah, he swiftly grabbed Gu Xiruo's shoulder and spun into the secret room.

He channeled his inner strength and slammed his large palm onto the stone door, causing the secret chamber door to slowly close.

The two pressed themselves against the stone door, holding their breath and watching for any movement outside.

The guards climbed into the cave, checked around, and found nothing amiss.

One of the guards reached out and knocked on the wall, his eyes narrowing dangerously.

"Sir! This place is empty!"

Gu Xiruo's heart jumped immediately. Zhai Sangjie put one arm around her and pressed the large sword at his waist with the other, his eyes surging with murderous intent.

The group channeled their inner strength and hacked at the wall with their swords for a long time, only to find it was to no avail.

Then he looked around the murals, searching for a switch.

Just then, another group of people arrived and came face to face with them.

It is a flower shadow.

Clashing like titans, the two groups immediately engaged in fierce combat inside the cave.

The sounds of clashing swords and spears filled the air. Gu Xiruo nervously gripped Zhai Sangjie's sleeve, but then smelled a bloody odor and noticed that the wound on his arm seemed to have worsened.

She quickly pulled his arm over to examine him closely, her small face filled with heartache.

She tugged at Zhai Sangjie, gesturing for him to sit on a box.

Zhai Sangjie kept an eye on the commotion outside and judged that the two sides were evenly matched and that they could fight for quite a while. So he relaxed his guard for the time being and sat down next to Gu Xiruo.

Gu Xiruo gently lifted his sleeve, her movements very careful, as if afraid of touching his wound.

She pulled her sleeve wider along the tear and saw blood seeping from the bright red wound. It was a shocking sight, and the pain seemed to move into her heart. Her nose tingled, and she almost burst into tears again.

Zhai Sangjie gently coaxed, "Don't cry, it doesn't hurt."

It seems like she's the one who's injured.

Gu Xiruo stopped her tears, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, filled with strength and seriousness. She reached out and pulled off a corner of her skirt to carefully bandage Zhai Sangjie's wound.

Her movements were gentle, and her eyes were full of concern.

Zhai Sangjie gazed at her, a soft light shimmering in his dark eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips, and a warm current flowing through his heart.

After the bandage was finished, Gu Xiruo gently lowered his arm and breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhai Sangjie held her hand, looked straight at her, and made no attempt to hide the deep affection in his eyes.

Gu Xiruo lowered her head shyly.

……

Outside the secret room.

Hua Ying leaned against the cave wall, the setting sun casting a golden glow on her profile and highlighting the sharp glint in her eyes.

She observed for a moment and, seeing that her subordinates and the enemy were evenly matched, she seemed to lose patience. She slid a short knife from her sleeve, her eyes flashing with cold light, and instantly joined the battle.

Her figure moved like a ghost, darting and thrusting. The short knife seemed to come alive in her hands, each strike aimed straight for the enemy's vitals.

The Empress Dowager's guards fought valiantly, but were ultimately no match for them, and soon many were killed or wounded.

With a sweep of her long legs, she threw them all off the cliff.

"General Zhai is still missing, and the sun is about to set. What should we do?" one of the guards said worriedly.

"Keep searching!" Hua Ying's cold and beautiful face was covered with frost. "If we can't find it, how will our master explain it to Miss Zhai?"

It was my younger sister who called them!

Zhai Sangjie overheard their conversation in the secret room and knew that the person on the other side was a friend, not an enemy. He immediately pressed the switch on the wall and opened the stone door.

"General Zhai!" one of the guards exclaimed in surprise.

When their gaze fell on the secret room behind him, the eyes of everyone behind Hua Ying suddenly widened.

This is... the Ye family's treasure?!

*

The lanterns are on.

Zhai Sangjie brought Gu Xiruo back to the Minister's residence. Zhai Rongyu was waiting in the hall. When he saw the two of them enter, he immediately went to greet them.

"Big brother, are you alright?"

She needed to see with her own eyes that her elder brother was safe and sound before she could return to Yunshan with peace of mind.

Zhai Sangjie shook his head, "Little sister, don't worry."

He turned around and helped Gu Xiruo take off the cloak covering her. When the two looked at each other, the affection in their eyes was undisguised.

Seeing this, Zhai Rongyu covered her mouth and chuckled.

[Big brother, your luck with romance has really blossomed!]

Hehe, only those who understand the joy of a couple's relationship becoming a reality!

"Little sister, please ask someone to call Madam Gu over so she can take Xiruo home," Zhai Sangjie said.

Zhai Rongyu nodded.

My elder brother's considerations are very thorough.

If he were to escort his sister-in-law directly back to her residence, and people were to discover that he and his sister-in-law had disappeared together, her reputation would likely be ruined.

[By then, who knows how crazy Master Gu will be.]

[It would be better to call Madam Gu over in my name, and then secretly bring my sister-in-law along on the way back, thus avoiding suspicion.]

[Sob, my brother always thinks of his wife, I love him so much!]

She immediately instructed her servant to invite Madam Gu.

As Zhai Sangjie listened to her heartfelt words and saw her calling her "sister-in-law" so cheerfully, his handsome face quietly flushed.

As they were talking, Jun Ce sent a shadowy figure to deliver all the Ye family's treasures that had been found to the Minister's residence.

Upon seeing the lone figure, Zhai Rongyu was somewhat surprised, "This is...?"

The figure smiled and said, "Miss Zhai, the master has instructed that since General Zhai found this treasure, it should naturally be handed over to the Zhai family for disposal."

Zhai Rong nodded, "Please thank your master for me."

As if he already knew her answer, the figure approached Zhai Rongyu and whispered, "The master said that gratitude must be expressed in person to be truly sincere!"

He then raised his eyebrows dramatically.

Miss Zhai, you understand, right? Hmm?

Zhai Rongyu: ...

She seems to have discovered some kind of CP (couple) allies.

Not sure, check again.

Seeing that the message had been delivered, he ordered his men to carry the boxes of treasure into the Minister's residence before taking his leave.

Zhai Sangjie said to Gu Xiruo, "Xiruo, when Madam Gu arrives, you can take these things back with you."

Zhai Rong smiled broadly, her eyebrows dancing with delight.

Hehe, your older brother really spoils you!

I'm totally shipping them! I'm totally shipping them again!

I hereby declare that I am the security guard standing watch day and night for your love!

Gu Xiruo looked at Zhai Sangjie, chuckled, and shook her head. "The Gu family is not short of money, and besides, you found all of these, so just leave them at the Minister's residence."

She has found an even more precious treasure.

She looked up at Zhai Sangjie, her eyes filled with admiration and appreciation.

Zhai Sangjie and she were of one mind. After a moment of thought, he nodded and said, "If it weren't for my little sister's guidance, we wouldn't have become acquainted."

"These treasures are for my little sister."

Upon hearing that it was Zhai Rongyu who had brought her and Zhai Sang together, Gu Xiruo was immediately filled with gratitude towards Zhai Rongyu.

She said softly, "I will do as the general says."

"Huh?" Zhai Rongyu stared blankly at the two who were singing in unison.

[You can sit at home and money just fall from the sky...]

【This...this...】

Is this appropriate?!

She now has a feeling that the dog food she's been eating has turned into gold.

She thought that shipping couples was already a lot of fun.

I never imagined I could be even happier!

Zhai Sangjie and Gu Xiruo looked at Zhai Rongyu, who was grinning foolishly, exchanged a knowing smile, and smiled at each other.
