Lu Liangwei Allowed His Majesty To Do As He Deemed Fit

Lu Liangwei said pointedly, "Did she give you such a small amount? Or did you hide the rest, Jiu?"

Chu Jiu glanced at her. "Is this too little? Please give it to me, then. I was the one she wanted to bribe, anyway, and I've done what she asked. I didn't reveal her presence to you." Chu Jiu had initially planned to inform Lu Liangwei about Li Tong'er's presence at the imperial holiday home after taking her money. However, Li Tong'er had conspicuously jumped into the lake before she could do so.

Lu Liangwei knew Jiu's personality quite well.

Jiu was not money-minded. She was just teasing Jiu with her words.

"Jiu, I can't believe you've now learned to scam money from others." Lu Liangwei looked like she was relieved and comforted over this.

Even though she had no idea what exactly the words exchanged between Jiu and Li Tong'er were, she knew what Jiu was like. Jiu would never take the initiative to extort money from another.
