While walking, Long Tianyu became increasingly depressed. But the steward who was leading the way kept silent, so he could not lose his temper no matter how impatient he was.

Humph! Sanjue Hall was arrogant. It was just a sect but was prouder than him who was a prince.

So, he became more eager to see what they were capable of.

After passing through the yard, they finally arrived at the innermost main hall.

Through the door, Long Tianyu vaguely saw a figure sitting on the ground. He could only see that it was a man but could not see his face.

He calmly looked around and found that the decoration was quite elegant.

It was a bit strange and different from the decoration which was popular among rich families at present.

It seemed the hall master of Sanjue Hall was not a man of rare gifts and bold strategy.

He was more like a woman who cared about things like decoration.

Long Tianyu couldn’t help snorting in his heart, thinking the news that had secretly been sent to him was true.

Sanjue Hall was relying on the hall master’s capable subordinates, and he was just a mere figurehead.

Long Tianyu thought so, but he was not stupid, so he would not show people his judgment.

The steward went inside to report first, and after a while, he came out.

“Our hall master is waiting for you inside.”

Long Tianyu went straight into the main hall without looking at the steward.

When he lifted the curtain and intended to deal the hall master a head-on blow at the first encounter, he saw Qinghu sitting lazily at the table with a cup of aromatic tea in his hand and looking at him with a smile.

“Your Highness, how are you doing?”

His casual tone immediately made Long Tianyu confirm that he was the annoying “tail” who used to follow behind his wife every day.

Long Tianyu crossed his arms over his chest and narrowed his eyes.

Just now, the steward had said it was the hall master of Sanjue Hall who was waiting for him inside. It turned out…

“It seems that you owe me an explanation. Besides, you have just disappeared out of my vision for a day.”

Qinghu shrugged his shoulders carelessly because Long Tianyu’s reaction was within his expectations.

Putting down the teacup, he propped his feminine and beautiful face on one hand and blinked playfully. However, he was complaining in his heart.

If it were in the past, it would be fine because he just needed to hide behind Lin Mengya and came up with wicked ideas.

But now… Long Tianyu’s face was so gloomy that it looked scary. If Qinghu could not give a reasonable explanation, he wouldn’t be able to get away with it today.

So, he coughed lightly and turned to look into the inner chamber.

“Don’t hide. I can’t handle your husband.”

After saying it coldly, Qinghu immediately picked up his teacup to cover the smirk on his face.

Lin Mengya was displeased but could not pretend anymore.

She had no choice but to walk out from behind the curtain and glare at the fox who could not handle the matter. And then, she could only show a flattering smile to Long Tianyu.

“Well, let me explain…”

The look in Long Tianyu’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and when his cold gaze fell on Qinghu, the latter immediately bounced up as if his butt had been burned.

“I still have something important to deal with. Take your time to talk!”

In the blink of an eye, only the two of them were left in the room.

Lin Mengya could only smirk, trying to muddle through.

Unfortunately, it was hard to fool her husband.

“These are all yours?”

Long Tianyu was no longer full of murderous intent now. Instead, he looked around gracefully as if they were chatting casually before he opened his mouth to ask the question lightly.

“Yes! It was just an avocation in the beginning, and I didn’t expect it to develop to such a large scale. Ha-ha! I gained them by sheer good luck.”

Lin Mengya pretended to be obedient on the surface but was cursing the damned fox harshly in her heart.

He was not like a loyal friend at all! He had actually left her here alone to explain.

But it was him that had encouraged and supported her to establish and manage Sanjue Hall back then.

“Didn’t I give you enough money to spend?”

Long Tianyu was expressionless, so Lin Mengya could not tell what he was thinking about.

Perhaps, he wasn’t very angry, right?

But she could only tell the truth and appeal to him for leniency.

She repeatedly shook her head in a hurry with a very sincere look in her watery eyes, wanting to hug her husband’s thigh and shout that he had misunderstood her.

But she said in the end, “You gave me enough money! And it’s just a small business that cannot make much money! Ha-ha.”

Letting out a hollow laugh, Lin Mengya felt her future was uncertain.

Even most men in modern society could not accept their wives to be more capable than them because of men’s self-esteem, let alone the men in feudal ancient times.

Lin Mengya lowered her head and didn’t dare to look at Long Tianyu.

“Very good! You’re very capable!”

What?

Lin Mengya suddenly raised her head and looked at him in shock as if she had seen a ghost.

Seeing his big smile, she knew he was not talking with irony.

Lin Mengya swallowed a mouthful of saliva and cautiously looked at her husband.

“Are you okay?”

“Bad! Has he gone insane because he is too angry?”

“I’m fine. You’re indeed different from other women. This courtyard is decorated according to what you like, right?

“Sure enough, no one else except you could have such elegant taste and smart ideas! Mengya, don’t hesitate to tell me if you’re short of hands. By the way, do you need me to invest all our money into Sanjue Hall as your backup fund?”

When Prince Yu was speaking in high spirits, Lin Mengya was transfixed.

“What? What is going on?”

Prince Yu’s displeasure disappeared when looking at their own property with a smile.

Seeing this, Lin Mengya finally let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, her man was not narrow-minded.

She felt very delighted as if her heart were stained with honey, so she began to introduce everything about Sanjue Hall to him.

“According to what you said, you are in charge of the trade route from Dajin to the Nation of Lintian, right?”

Long Tianyu was shocked. He knew she was smart.

But he hadn’t expected that she was very good at not only scheming but also doing business to make money.

“It’s not under my control, but some rules were made by me. Correspondingly, we must ensure the safety and interests of the caravans. Only by making sure all caravans can make money together can the trade route last for a long time. And I am not doing these things in person. Some people in Sanjue Hall are specially responsible for the trade route. I just need to decide the overall direction. If I need to worry about every trifle, I will have no time to do anything else.”

Seeing Long Tianyu still could not understand, Lin Mengya explained to him patiently.

It was just a modern enterprise management system. As a layman, she could only tell general ideas, and then her staff would sort her thoughts out and make complete plans.

On the surface, she had the final say about everything.

In fact, she had few things to do.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have wandered around the four kingdoms without scruples.

“This is a clever management method. No wonder Lin Kui and the others always praise you and say that you could handle everything well when you were at home. What else surprises are you going to give me?”

Long Tianyu rubbed her little nose lovingly, feeling his affection for her was growing every day.

She was always like a piece of natural jade.

But after being carefully carved, it could burst out a peerless brilliance.

Although some women were more beautiful than her, they were not as resourceful as her. She was both smart and beautiful.

He was very lucky to be able to spend the rest of his life with her.

“I’m afraid there is no more. Even if there is one or two in the future, I will not hide them from you on purpose. If I can’t tell you, it will definitely be because the right time hasn’t come.”

Lin Mengya certainly wanted to get Long Tianyu’s support for everything she did in her heart.

They were husband and wife who would share a common future, so they should go through thick and thin together.

She did not want to have any disputes with him because of such external things.

But if things reached that point, she would feel unhappy, but she would never give up her career.

Fortunately, Long Tianyu loved her, cared about her, and understood her.

So, she felt very satisfied with her life.

“Okay! Don’t say it if you don’t want to.”

He gently hugged her, thinking nothing was as important as her standing in front of him alive.

Although they had been married for only two years, what they had experienced together might be more than what others could bear for the rest of their lives.

Fortunately, they had overcome all the difficulties, and nothing could separate them anymore.

“I’ve been busy explaining to you and almost forgot the proper business. Do you know Feng Zidie was involved with Yunzhu’s kidnapping me that day?”

When this matter was brought up, Long Tianyu’s face turned cold.

He had always known Mengya didn’t want to bring the situation to a deadlock, but he hadn’t expected that Feng Zidie didn’t know how to appreciate her kindness at all.

If he had known this earlier, he would have shown no mercy so as to end her pipe dream.

“Don’t be angry. I’m OK, right? But I discovered something. It’s very likely that Candle Dragon Cult has planted a spy beside Feng Zidie. And I think Miss Tong is very suspicious. However, you should also know Candle Dragon Cult’s way of doing things. I’m afraid that it is not easy to catch them. Therefore, we must obtain the heirloom of the Feng family before them.”

Long Tianyu thought Lin Mengya’s serious side profile was very cute.

He resisted the urge to steal a kiss, frowned slightly, and pretended to be very serious when listening to her instructions.

“This is indeed suspicious. But how do you know I want something from the Feng Family?”

Lin Mengya suspected he was doubting her IQ.

She glared at him with disdain and said, “Opening Paradise City requires four keys, which you call relic of the Guwei State. I’m just a nobody, but I can get two of them. I think the Feng Family should have one of the other two. Otherwise, you would not have made so much effort. But I’m very curious about one thing. Who told you about the four keys?”

Hearing this, Long Tianyu frowned heavily.

And he kept silent for a long time.

It took a while for Lin Mengya, who was in his arms, to realize something was wrong.

No way! Maybe he did not know about it at all! He didn’t know there were four keys, right?

“I got the news from the people who were looking for the relic of the Guwei State. However, they only said they need a key to open it but did not tell me there are four keys.”
