Transmigrator meets Reincarnator

Chapter 326 to 330

Chu Lian's eyes went wide with astonishment and she exclaimed, "Where did you get such a good storefront?"

All the good locations on Zhuque Street were already owned by someone high-ranking in the capital. It was no simple task to obtain such a good storefront, as it was something that money couldn't buy.

Even if these were obtainable through wealth alone, the value of these two deeds added together would be at least five thousand taels...

That was going by a conservative estimate.

Even House Jing'an in its prime hadn't owned any storefronts on Zhuque Street. At the most, they had held only one or two shops on a side street nearby.

"Do you like it?" He Changdi didn't answer Chu Lian's question. He just wanted to know whether she liked it or not.

Chu Lian gaped a little. She didn't know what to say; her husband was just too mysterious.

She answered honestly, "Who wouldn't like a great store like this?"

Although she implied that she liked it, her face didn't show much excitement at all.

"I've already sent someone to the authorities to transfer this deed into your name. It's good as long as you like it. Don't you like cooking? You can do whatever you like with this shopfront." He Changdi's icy gaze softened when he looked at her.

Chu Lian gripped the deeds tightly. She raised her head to look into her husband's fathomless eyes.

"Hubby, tell me now. Where did you get the money for these?"

She had asked this question back when he had bought jewellery for her, but He Changdi hadn't given her an answer. After obtaining this storefront for her, he must have already spent at least ten thousand taels altogether.

All he had done recently was join the northern army. He had never done any business on the side, so how did he obtain so much money? Could it be through bribery?

However, in her subconscious mind, Chu Lian didn't want him to have obtained his money through those means.

Seeing her tightly knit brows, He Changdi knew that his wife's thoughts had veered away from legal means.

A dry laugh came out of him, and he couldn't help but pinch her cheeks. "Lian'er, what is going through your head? It's not what you think it is."

Chu Lian rolled her eyes at him. "Your way of earning money is just too profitable! Even my businesses don't bring in nearly as much as you!"

He Changdi knew that it wasn't good for him to keep Chu Lian in the dark. If he didn't explain himself to her, she would likely let her imagination run wild. Therefore, rather than letting her listen to wild rumours or gossip, he might as well tell it to her straight.

He beckoned Chu Lian over with his long fingers. Chu Lian hesitated for a moment, but still chose to lean into his embrace, putting her ear close to his lips.

He Sanlang's deep voice whispered something into her ears. A few moments later, Chu Lian sat up straight with her eyes wide open, staring at him in disbelief.

She was completely flabbergasted. "Is... is this true?"

He Sanlang smiled. "Has your husband ever lied to you?"

"You guys are really too brazen!"

He Changdi shook his head. "Any noble would have done the exact same thing in this case. I've already held myself back."

Chu Lian stopped asking about the origin of his money. She only warned He Changdi to handle the hot potato in his hands carefully.

He Sanlang didn't want her to worry, so he quickly changed topics. "Now that you have this storefront, what do you plan to do?"
