The silver bills were contained in a square box that was over a foot tall, and the shimmering effect of the bills under the candlelight was no less impressive than that of actual silver.
Qiao Xiaomai's eyes widened, and after a moment of astonishment, she quickly refused, "No need, no need—how could I take your silver? You've already given so much today."
"That was the Emperor Yongan's reward, not mine," Yang Hao said with a smile.
When Emperor Yongan had first solved the Hell's Flower matter, he had said he would give a reward to Qiao Xiaomai, but the matter had been delayed until now. So on this visit, Yang Hao brought over the rewards given by Emperor Yongan.
They were similar to those bestowed by Yang Wenxiao—consisting of fabrics and jewelry, plus one thousand taels of gold.
