Alexander Hayes's Secret

Gold—an entire room full of dazzling gold, almost blinding to the eyes!

Su Li stared blankly at the room full of gold, an impulse rising within her, almost wanting to roll around in the mountain of gold!

Su Li recalled that Xiao Zetian once said he was very rich, unlike Prince Ling who only valued Su Li's ability to make money. The little money Su Li earned was insignificant to Xiao Zetian.

Looking at so much gold, Su Li was dumbfounded, thinking she had really misunderstood Xiao Zetian—he was insanely rich!

"This is only a portion of the gold. There are identical gold warehouses hidden in many other places," Xiao Zetian said, pleased with Su Li's stunned expression. "That fool Prince Ling thinks this general is broke, but little does he know I've been managing and amassing great wealth all these years. Tsk, military pay and supplies are the lifeblood of the army. If the court wants to crush you, they cut off the supplies, and the general is helpless. Naturally, I won't hand over my lifeline to the court. The wealth I've painstakingly saved over the years is enough to support the troops for ten years."

"My god!" Su Li stepped forward and knelt in the gold pile. This was only a part, and there were other identical gold warehouses scattered nationwide!?

Heavens, he’s so rich!! With power and wealth rivaling a nation!

With power, soldiers, and money, no wonder he dared to confront Prince Ling, a favored prince!

"Y-you brought me to your gold warehouse, aren’t you afraid I’ll... tell others?" Su Li squinted, trying to avoid the dazzling golden light making her dizzy.

"Tsk, you’re my wife, why would I guard against you? Besides, what’s mine is yours. This gold is yours too, your wealth," Xiao Zetian walked over, picked up a gold bar, and toyed with it. "Wifey, our vegetable field was ruined, and we owe a lot in compensation to merchants. You don’t need to borrow money from Fourth Uncle; you can take whatever you need from here."

Su Li’s body trembled. Damn, so much gold was hers to use freely?

"Aren’t you afraid I’ll empty your gold mountain?" Su Li half-joked, half-teased.

"Tsk, if you empty it, then so be it. A man earns money for his wife. If the wife empties the gold mountain, I’ll just earn a bigger one for her to spend," Xiao Zetian said nonchalantly, tossing two gold bars to the ground.

"No, no, I’m just joking, wouldn’t dare empty it. With so much money, even if my arm broke, I couldn’t empty it all." Su Li happily jumped into the pile of gold to roll around. Damn, rolling in a mountain of gold—this kind of happiness was simply unparalleled!

Xiao Zetian saw her happiness and was delighted too. He jumped in with her, lying beside Su Li and holding her hand. "Wifey, this gold is my life’s fortune. I’ve laid all my cards on the table for you. You should understand in your heart, I only have you, and I’m devoted to you."

Su Li sighed. The gold Xiao Zetian had amassed was definitely unknown to the court, secretly saved. If the emperor found out Xiao Zetian secretly hoarded so much silver while holding military power, he would immediately move to eliminate him.

Today, by bringing her here, Xiao Zetian was essentially entrusting his life to her.

Su Li turned on her side, looking at Xiao Zetian beside her with a sigh, reaching out to touch his face. "Do you think your foolishness is acting up again? How could you dare let me know all this?"

Xiao Zetian affectionately and dominantly pulled her close. "My foolishness will always be this way in front of you, alright? I will always be your silly husband, Yuanbao. I only fear you won’t want me and will push me away, then I’d be gravely ill, heartbroken to death."
