Jiang Yang swallowed before answering, "Your Highness, you should see for yourself!"

It was the chest of gold, silver, and jewels he had sent before, now returned just as they had been sent.

Wei Shu carelessly tossed the silver notes onto his desk, raised an eyebrow, and asked, "Her inn shouldn't be profitable so soon; where did this money come from?"
