Zhao Qian gave him a look that clearly said he did not believe a word of Chu Qi's explanation.
Long Yin did not believe it either.
He had been helping his father deal with administrative work by his father's side every day and knew that Chu Qi had been rewarded generously for his victory during the battle at Southern Xinjiang.

"You should have told me if you don't have money, Lil Qi. I have a lot of gold and I can afford to take care of you," Ji'er said innocently, not sensing anything amiss.
Yaoyao added, "That's right. Mother gave us a lot of gold and Grandmother gives us gold every year on our birthday too. I have plenty as well. I can give you a loan."
Long Yin was slightly exasperated at his two silly and naïve sisters.
"It's fine." Chu Qi rejected the offers from the two princesses.
