Inside the room, there was silence for a while until the Old Madam's voice broke the tranquility.
She looked at Xie Jingchen with a cold frown and asked, "What did the Emperor summon you to the palace for yesterday?"
Su Jin's smile faded slightly.
Even though Xie Jingchen had already returned, it was only after a night had passed that she was asked. This concern came too late, and felt more like curiosity.
One asked perfunctorily.
One replied indifferently.
"The Emperor inquired about the robbery in the street, and knowing Su Jin intended to open a shop, was overjoyed. To support Su Jin's business, he personally inscribed a plaque."
This was the truth.
If he didn't say it, they would still find out.
But hearing it from his mouth made it exceptionally aggravating.
The Emperor's favoritism towards this female bandit knew no bounds!
The Third Madam said coldly, "It seems it's true that the Eldest Young Madam bought Tianxiang Building for sixty thousand taels to sell coal."
