As evening approached, Shu Wan sent Caiyun to retrieve money from Shu Ying.
Probably because she was eager to send Shu Wan away, Shu Ying was unusually generous, putting together nearly five thousand silver taels and some gold jewellery for Shu Wan.
In the current era, ten taels of silver was nearly the annual expenditure of an average family. Five thousand silver taels was almost all the money Shu Ying had.
She really went all out.
Shu Wan took out one hundred taels from the box and handed them to Caiyun, "This is for you."
Caiyun was dumbfounded. The government only paid her half a tael of silver per month; it would take her decades without eating or drinking to save up one hundred taels. She had never seen so much silver before.
"Miss, are you driving me away?" Caiyun immediately knelt in front of Shu Wan, "Did I do something wrong?"
"No, this money is your reward." Shu Wan lifted her hand, "Stand up first, I have something to instruct you on."
