After finishing breakfast, Gao Zheng called out to Yin Shanshan in the corridor: "Can we get that money back?"
"Zheng-lang, how could you be so muddled-headed?" Yin Shanshan was displeased. "Once gift money is given, how could there be any reason to take it back?! That's your life-saving money! Besides, I already told you I can earn the money back. What are you even worrying about?"
Gao Zheng said nothing.
Back then, taking Yin Shanshan as a concubine was purely due to her actively climbing into his bed.
At the time, he was captivated by Shen Yinning yet unable to attain her love, not even daring to touch her. That was how he ended up in a raging affair with Yin Shanshan.
He thought Yin Shanshan possessed the lively and clever spirit Shen Yinning lacked. To him, Yin Shanshan and Shen Yinning were like the moles of desire and the moonlight of purity—like the legendary goddesses Ehuang and Nuying. Having one wife and one concubine like them, he was deeply satisfied.
