Seeing him coming out carrying a small box, he kept patting the dirt off it as he walked. Liu Shimei asked curiously, “Did you dig this up?”

Curiosity killed the cat, but she really wanted to know what her silly puppy had hidden!

The silly dog looked proud, carrying the box outside. He opened it on the spot and said, “Wife, these are all for you!”

Liu Shimei was speechless about his lack of sophistication. The two of them crouched by the rockery and opened the treasure chest!

The sandalwood box must have been buried in the ground for quite some years; there were signs of corrosion around the edges, and the patterns were somewhat damaged, not perfectly intact.

But sandalwood was excellent material, still very sturdy. The contents inside were wrapped in oil paper and remained undamaged.

The box was pushed in front of Liu Shimei, and she reached out to flip open the topmost oil paper package. When she saw what was inside, she widened her eyes, “Silver notes!”

With a casual glance, these silver notes were each worth over 1,000 taels, there were about 30 of them?

“Lingyao, are these yours?” Liu Shimei was incredibly shocked!

Although tens of thousands of taels might not be much for a Prince, but…

This Prince was extraordinary!

Unbelievable, her dog still had hidden savings!

“Ah, they’re mine,” Huangfu Lingyao said. Not seeing any joy on his wife’s face, he felt a little uneasy inside. ‘She wouldn’t suspect anything, would she? To make it look authentic, I specifically went to find Li Xin and the bank to exchange for several-year-old banknotes. I intentionally made the oil paper wrapping slightly damaged; there’s no way it could be discovered, right?’

Liu Shimei’s focus was not on this, it was, “Where did you get so much silver?”

Did the dog not only have a private stash but also this much?

Huangfu Lingyao felt wronged,”…”

Wanting to give his wife some silver coins was already a hassle, and now he had to endure interrogation!

He scratched his head, foolishly saying, “It’s all from my mother’s family from a long, long time ago. I can’t even remember when.”

After a moment’s thought, he continued to fabricate, “It was kept with the wet nurse. A few years ago, the wet nurse went back to the countryside with her husband and brought these things out for me. She told me to hide them well and use them in case of emergencies.”

It wasn’t really a fabrication.

The words were true, and the items in the box were indeed given to him by the wet nurse before she left, instructing him to hide them.

He wouldn’t lie if he didn’t have to.

But the silver coins were acquired today!

Seeing her surprise, he added, “I don’t have an urgent need, but I do have Wife now! My money, my precious, I’ll let Wife take care of it in the future!”

With that, he wore a sweet smile on his face.

Liu Shimei furrowed her brows and asked, “People from your mother’s family?”

Honestly, there was a feeling of asking her fiance to hand over his salary card before marriage!

Huangfu Lingyao remained silent.

Those matters were too complicated; he couldn’t explain them clearly without arousing her suspicion.

So, it was better to let her think he couldn’t remember anything!

Sure enough, Liu Shimei sighed and thought, ‘After the former Empress had an accident, her maternal relatives were implicated and were executed. He probably wouldn’t remember much, and even if he does… it’s not something good, right?’

It’s better not to ask, so as not to make him sad!

She continued to flip through the oil-paper packages below, finding various gold and silver jewelry.

They were all old, but they looked very luxurious, undoubtedly of high value!
