Doted By The Regent King-Chapter 490: Repay Kindness

After breakfast, Wufu prepared to head to the trade association with Ah Jiu, but before they could leave, they learned that Shopkeeper Lin had been waiting for them since early morning.

"Triad Leader ordered me to escort the young lady to the trade association," Shopkeeper Lin said with a smile, bowing his hand. Catching sight of Ah Jiu standing to the side, he again bowed in salute, "Ninth Master, I have not yet congratulated the Ninth Master on the acquisition of a rare treasure."

After yesterday’s masterful play, those who were in the know believed that Wufu and Ah Jiu were in cahoots. Only Shopkeeper Lin, who had previously met Ah Jiu, was a hundred percent certain that they were indeed a group.

Shopkeeper Lin felt it was a pity about the Peach Blossom Spring. If his Silver House could have secured it, it would have been wonderful—sold for two hundred thousand taels, just the thought of it made his heart itch like a cat’s claws, unbearable.

But he didn’t have any position to fault Wufu, since she had given Wen Jian two opportunities. It was Triad Leader who didn’t trust the young girl, and thus...

What a shame!

"Shopkeeper Lin, congratulations to you as well," Ah Jiu said with a light smile.

Wufu took out two silver notes from her sleeve and stuffed them into Shopkeeper Lin’s hand, "Shopkeeper Lin, congratulations. Without you, I probably wouldn’t have been able to be involved in such a grand event. Everyone who came with me this time received a reward; you should also enjoy some good fortune."

Shopkeeper Lin was startled for a moment. Looking down at the amount, his eyes suddenly widened, "Young lady, this..."

A full One Thousand Taels—it was too generous!

"Just take it, Shopkeeper Lin. Fortune, after all, comes and goes," Wufu winked slyly, "This amount of money is nothing to us, isn’t that right, Ninth Master?"

Ah Jiu nodded, "Naturally. Wufu is correct."

Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper Lin felt a surge of excitement. His annual salary was only one hundred taels, which was already quite a lot, yet Wufu’s single act of generosity was tenfold that amount.

It’s true that for someone who had gained two hundred thousand taels, this sum of money was negligible. Nonetheless, it was generous, as it’s well known some people are too parsimonious to even part with a hundred taels, let alone a thousand. freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

After some thought, Shopkeeper Lin accepted the gift and said, "In that case, I wouldn’t dare decline. Thank you, young lady and sir. I hope that by taking part in your good fortune, I can continue to prosper."

Wufu then smiled again. She was willing to be generous because Shopkeeper Lin had given her the opportunity to participate in this grand event. Without his recommendation to Wen Congrui, maybe even he wouldn’t have thought of her.

And Shopkeeper Lin believed in her, hence the recommendation. Moreover, during their time in Maofeng Town, he had provided her with much support, and she remembered even the small gifts and favors.

So now, having stumbled upon a windfall, what did it matter to share some of it?

Wufu always repaid kindness with kindness and took vengeance for wrongs.

Ah Jiu tilted his head slightly, and Su Luo came forward holding a large chest.

"Since Shopkeeper Lin has come to fetch you, he must have something to explain. Take this chest with you first, and I’ll have Su Luo escort you there," Ah Jiu said, "I will follow shortly." Having Su Luo escort them was also to prevent any foul play.

Wufu naturally recognized the chest as one containing her own creations and looked at Shopkeeper Lin.

"Indeed, I wanted to go over some rules with the young lady," hurriedly replied Shopkeeper Lin.

Hearing this, Wufu had no reason to refuse. She allowed Su Luo to place the chest in the carriage and went to the trade association. Besides Su Luo, Xiao Li still accompanied her.

Watching her leave, Ah Jiu leisurely boarded his own horse-drawn carriage. He glanced at the Yellow Pear Wood small table inside, adorned with two Blue and White Porcelain tea cups, and pressed his lips together.

He picked up one of the tea cups, feeling slightly regretful. He had thought he would have delightful company for a sip of tea, but it seemed he had been preempted by someone else.
