"If it's just a matter of needing silver, I might be able to help."
Though Lu Xinyue spoke of helping, her tone still carried an air of superiority.
"I still have quite a few assets in Lingnan, and I have enough silver on hand, besides, spending the silver on you would be a good deed, wouldn't it?"
With her acting like this, Chu Nanli ought to be overwhelmed with gratitude, right?
In fact, to the average person, there would be no suspicion of Lu Xinyue harboring ulterior motives.
After all, as a Commandery Princess, why would she stoop so low to curry favor with Chu Nanli and Lin Xuanxuan?
But Chu Nanli had been skeptical of her from the start, acutely perceiving the malice emanating from her and staying on guard at all times.
However, now that someone was willingly offering silver, wouldn't it be unwise for her to refuse it?
"But we're neither kith nor kin, such a large sum of silver..."
As soon as Lu Xinyue saw Chu Nanli's expression, her scorn became even more apparent.
