Chapter 38 39 Repaying debts is a matter of course
Outside the palace gate, Uncle Zhong stood there in a gray robe with a calm expression.

Tingzhou next to him looked unaccustomed. As a secret guard, Tingzhou usually hides in the dark to protect Lin Jianyue. Standing here openly and openly like this now always feels a little awkward.

Uncle Zhong glanced at the sky and realized that the key to the palace gate was about to be released soon, but Uncle Zhong was not in a hurry.

Although Uncle Zhong is just a commoner, he has traveled extensively over the years and is considered knowledgeable and capable. To put it bluntly, Uncle Zhong knows the temperament of people from the Tian family.

They are aloof and always look like they are giving gifts, but in fact they are rotten at heart. They obviously want to make themselves fat, but they use other people's money to decorate it. But they love face most, so Uncle Zhong knows very well that the Fifth Princess I will definitely put money on it. After all, if I really go to the government, I will lose the face of the Tian family.

Sure enough, after a while, a palace maid wearing a light pink palace dress walked out of the palace gate and handed a stack of silver notes to Uncle Zhong.

"Shopkeeper, can you take a look at the money?" Caihe said softly.

Uncle Zhong counted the number, no more and no less. At this moment, Uncle Zhong felt very happy. Over the years, the Tian family has taken so many good things and paid out so much money from Chengjiabao. This is the first time. Asking for the money back was a sign of anger.

"Yes, sorry for bothering you, girl!" Uncle Zhong handed the bill to Caihe politely.

It is true that Uncle Zhong despises the Tian family, but after living for so many years, Uncle Zhong will naturally not offend the people of the Tian family in terms of face, so as not to cause trouble for his young lady.

Caihe took the bill, looked at Uncle Zhong sympathetically, turned around and walked into the palace. The palace door closed and the sky darkened completely.

Uncle Zhong stuffed the banknotes into his sleeves with a smile on his face. He ignored Tingzhou who was taciturn around him and said to himself, "Although this money is nothing to Chengjiabao, I just can't see it." I'm used to these people taking advantage of my lady's things and acting like they're giving alms. Our lady, even if she doesn't marry the prince, is still a noble person, so why should she be wronged in front of these people!"

Uncle Zhong said, he seemed a little uncomfortable and wiped his face.

"Fortunately, Miss finally figured it out!" Uncle Zhong suddenly laughed. In the past, what he was most worried about was that Miss trusted the Marquis too much and trusted people from the Tian family, for fear that Miss would end badly. Fortunately, Miss seemed to suddenly He came to his senses, and Uncle Zhong felt that it was God's blessing.

Tingzhou nodded slightly. He said little, but he agreed with Uncle Zhong's words.

Unlike Uncle Zhong, who has only been managing the lady's property outside these years, Tingzhou, as a secret guard, naturally sees more than Uncle Zhong.

He watched helplessly as Lin Jianyue transformed from a pampered and innocent girl to the one she is now, barely able to even smile. Everyone said she was very lucky, but that was not the case in Tingzhou's eyes.

The expenses of the Marquis Mansion were high, and they often could not make ends meet. Lin Jianyue used her own private treasury to pay for it, but none of the people in the Marquis Mansion were truly grateful to Lin Jianyue.

The same is true for the Tian family. Lin Jianyue's heart has been devoted to the prince these years. Not only did he care about the prince, but he also sent countless good things to the prince. Even the queen and the fifth princess brought good things to them every now and then. However, On the one hand, Tianjia looked compassionate, but on the other hand, they gave Grandma to control Lin Jianyue.

In the past, Tingzhou thought Lin Jianyue was stupid, but he was just a secret guard. All he could do was protect Lin Jianyue's safety. Even if he felt that Lin Jianyue's behavior was inappropriate, he would not say anything to stop her.

But now Lin Jianyue suddenly seemed to be completely transformed, making Tingzhou suddenly feel that following such a master would not be a loss for him!
"Be careful!" Tingzhou suddenly pulled out the long sword he carried with him and lifted Uncle Zhong behind him with one hand.

At this moment, Tingzhou suddenly understood why the young lady asked him to accompany Uncle Zhong to collect the debt!
