"Huh?"
Shang Ruyi was taken aback and looked up at him, only to see Yu Wenye staring at her without any expression. Although his face showed no signs of emotion, a man like him, even expressionless, naturally exuded an aura of authority. Though not quite oppressive, it made it clear that he was displeased.
He's unhappy? Why?
Just because I didn't ask him?
Shang Ruyi understood the cause but was puzzled by his mood, so she said, "But the money was a reward from the Emperor to me. Didn't you say it's mine to use as I please?"
Yu Wenye said, "I didn't control how you spend the money. If you want to build a school or anything, it's fine. I'm just asking why you discussed it with him instead of with me?"
Shang Ruyi immediately said, "Who discussed it with him?"
"..."
"I already said that the Crown Prince was investigating the properties in Chang An, and he found out about my plan to buy a house and build a school in Changle Square. He approached me proactively."
