"What's wrong?"
Seeing his hesitant expression, Zhao Kai glared at him impatiently.
"Your Highness, this, this is..."
As Liu Shunxi spoke, he quickly produced the token left by Han Mo.
The moment he saw the token, Zhao Kai's pupils constricted.
Immediately, he grasped the general situation.
"It seems your dog eyes really are of no use!"
Zhao Kai coldly dropped these words, then turned and got into his carriage.
"Your Highness, spare me! Your Highness, spare me!"
Not long after he left, Liu Shunxi was dragged into the manor by two guards.
"Your Highness, shall we pursue him?"
Zhao Kai's attendant quickly asked in a low voice.
"No need. Let's head to the palace first. The Emperor must be anxious. That demon Fang La and his ilk are causing too much trouble. The Emperor is likely to convene the Grand Councilors today to devise a plan!"
Zhao Kai hesitated for a moment, then looked at the token in his hand with a hint of playfulness.
To others, this item would be priceless, yet this young man tossed it aside like worn-out shoes.
He truly is an interesting fellow!
"Young master, where are we going now?"
Having witnessed Han Mo's performance earlier, Xu Fengnian’s admiration for him reached its peak.
Not only did he beat up the guards of the Prince of Yun's manor, but his subsequent act of discarding the token was incredibly dashing.
Xu Fengnian was but a young boy, and after witnessing the events, his mind kept replaying Han Mo’s graceful toss.
"We still have plenty of tokens, no need to rush. Let's deliver them house by house!"
Han Mo stretched his body at length, feeling a bit sleepy after the recent exertion.
"Yes!"
After hearing Han Mo's words, Xu Fengnian readily agreed.
Without further instruction from Han Mo, he drove Han Mo to visit various royal manors.
It wasn't until nightfall that they returned to the estate outside the city.
However, upon their return, Xu Fengnian noticed that a long, rectangular bundle had somehow appeared on the carriage.
Although he was filled with curiosity, having accompanied Han Mo to the various manors today, he dared not ask.
"This is your reward for today. Leave the carriage here and come back for it tomorrow. And remember not to speak of this when you get back."
After saying this, Han Mo handed Xu Fengnian two strings of coins.
"Thank you, young master, for the reward!"
Xu Fengnian hadn't expected Han Mo to give him such a generous reward today.
He was still a young boy, and any rewards from his own household were always collected by his parents.
These two strings of coins were a pleasant surprise for him.
"What is this?"
Chun Tao looked at Han Mo with a hint of confusion.
"What else could it be? It's a good thing I got from the Prince of Ji's manor for you!"
After Xu Fengnian left, Han Mo finally opened the long bundle.
"Ah! Is this a carpet?"
Chun Tao cried out in surprise the moment she touched the item.
"Carpet?"
Hearing her say that, Han Mo understood.
It seemed this was the term for a woolen carpet in this era.
However, for Han Mo, it didn't matter.
"Second brother, why did you roll all these things up inside?"
As they spoke, Chun Tao eagerly began to unroll the carpet.
Once opened, various colorful small items could be seen within.
Clearly, these were the return gifts from the various manors.
"Shh!"
Han Mo quickly made a silencing gesture towards her, then pointed towards his bedroom.
Chun Tao's eyes lit up, and she immediately understood.
"Alright, starting tomorrow, she'll be my concubine to outsiders! I'll move this into your room later. It will keep you warmer at night."
"Second brother, why don't you go again in a few days?"
As Chun Tao spoke, her eyes were fixed on the return gifts with a covetous glint.
"Do you think they're fools? If I went there every few days, wouldn't I be kicked out?"
Han Mo rolled his eyes and began moving the return gifts from the princes into the room.
"Today is a good day, and all wishes will come true..."
While working, Han Mo hummed a little tune, feeling extremely pleased.
The brown sugar was worth at most thirty strings of coins, but now, any single item here was worth at least dozens of strings.
Especially on the porcelain, many bore the imperial seal.
In his previous life, any set of these items would fetch millions.
The Chengxin Hall paper, the Li Tinggui ink—these alone were priceless treasures.
It was said that these items were almost exclusively for royal use, and acquiring them for the common folk was impossible.
Although Han Mo's calligraphy was a bit lacking compared to true masters, in this era, it was still a good choice for his own use without showing off.
"Hmph!"
Hearing Han Mo's off-key humming, Cai Wei snorted indifferently.
"What are you humming for? You're going to be my concubine in front of outsiders from now on. What if someone hears you? Come on, smile for me!"
Han Mo rolled his eyes and said in a flippant tone.
"Scoundrel!"
As expected, Cai Wei cursed and turned her head away, refusing to look at Han Mo.
"Is this being a scoundrel? Don't you forget who saved you? Don't you know what it means to repay kindness? Don't you know that a drop of kindness should be repaid with a gushing spring?"
"Where are you going?"
Before Han Mo could finish speaking, Cai Wei snorted and walked directly towards the door.
"I asked where you're going so late?"
Han Mo asked impatiently.
"Are you managing my trip to the latrine too?"
To Han Mo's surprise, Cai Wei said this without any embarrassment.
"Didn't they say that a woman's beauty lies in gentleness and modesty? Do you have to be so loud when going to the toilet?"
As he heard her walk away, Han Mo mumbled to himself while checking the hidden compartment by his bed.
Although that woman should have been very careful, Han Mo still found some traces.
He took out a handscroll embroidered with an erotic painting, then carefully wrapped the ledger before placing it directly into the hidden compartment.
Now, Han Mo finally felt relieved. At least, this damned woman wouldn't be able to guess that he would hide things here, even if she racked her brain!
After tidying up the aftermath, Han Mo stretched his body at length and lay down on the bed.
Inhaling the faint fragrance from the pillow, Han Mo felt quite intoxicated.
Although this woman was a bit fierce, it wouldn't be bad to marry her and fill the house with her scent!
However, speaking of which, this damned woman's figure seemed to be quite curvaceous.
He wondered what she would look like wearing a bikini.
As he thought about it, tears of regret streamed down Han Mo's face.
"Lecher!"
