Wu Jinmai's POV
I look at her in the eyes and intentionally intimidate her. I want Shi Yuyi to realize that the changes I've made aren't something that she can play.
She's no longer in control of what is happening in this court. She faces me.
'What did I just see? Those eyes... they're predatory and show darkness. Is there any secret she's hiding?'
"I was planning to use that money for a business, Your Highness. I have saved up, but I need 50 silver taels for additional capital," she says. She's lying. I can tell.
I smiled. "You should've told me. You don't have to hide the purpose why you're asking for 50 silver taels. How about this? I'll invest in your business. Is 200 silver taels enough as investment money?" I ask.
Noble consort Shi Yuyi looks at me with such a stunned and puzzled reaction. I grin.
