Chapter 1447: A Big Deal!
Translator: Lonelytree
After Shopkeeper Zhang and the others carried the silver taels away, Lin Yuelan said,” Princess Linglong, since the compensation has been settled, I don’t have to treat you to tea anymore! Please do as you please!” The last sentence was directed at Xiao Jingyu and Xiao Jingrui.
With that, she planned to return to the third floor to have tea with Jiang
Zhennan.
Oh, this time, she was really drinking tea.
“Princess Guguo, please stay!” Xiao Jingrui immediately stopped her.
Lin Yuelan turned around and asked,” Second Prince, is there anything else?”
Xiao Jingrui pointed to the remaining box of silver and said,” Princess Guguo, this 10,000 taels of silver is for you!’
The people around were stunned and confused.” What’s going on?”
It was said that the Second Prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom had once proposed to marry the princess of the Guguo at a banquet in the palace but was rejected by the princess.
So, the Second Prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom was unwilling to give up and wanted to use the silver to win the favour of the princess of the Guguo so that he could poach the Great General?!
Lin Yuelan glanced at the chest of silver on the ground and asked with a smile,” Second Prince, do you want to give me silver?”
Xiao Jingrui nodded. ‘Yes.”
Lin Yuelan asked in amusement,” Why? Although l, Lin Yuelan, love money and am greedy, I have my principles. If it’s mine, I will get all of it. If it’s not mine, 1 won’t take it even if you give me a million taels!”
Xiao Jingrui smiled with a cold expression, which looked even more unique and handsome. He said,” How about we be friends? This is a greeting gift!”
Lin Yuelan raised her eyebrows and asked with a half-smile,” So, this 10,000 taels is a greeting gift?”
Xiao Jingrui didn’t answer.
They clapped again. Then, everyone saw another group of people carrying boxes over.
Everyone counted. There were 15 boxes. They just didn’t know what these boxes were.
Could it be that they were all silver?
If they were all silver, including the one just now, there would be a total of 16, which meant that there would be a total of 160,000 taels of silver.
However, why was the prince of the Black Cloud Kingdom carrying so much silver here?
As soon as the box was put down, Xiao Jingrui nodded slightly.
Then, his subordinates quickly opened the boxes.
In an instant, everyone’s eyes were blinded by the light emitted by the things in these boxes.
When they recovered slightly and saw the contents of the box, everyone except Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan opened their mouths in surprise.
This was because these chests did not only contain silver and gold, but also various treasures, such as the Eastern Sea Blood Coral, the Southern Sea Pearl, the thousand-year-old ginseng, the hundred-year-old Lingzhi, and many other rare treasures.
The total value of these items was worth more than a million silver!
Could it be that these things were all for Princess Gu?
Soon, everyone looked at Xiao Jingrui and then at Lin Yuelan.
Then, they waited…
Xiao Jingrui smiled and said,” Princess Guguo, I am very sincere in making friends with you. These are the real meeting gifts. Please accept them!”
What a generous gift!
Everyone exclaimed!
The Second Prince of the Black Clouds Kingdom might not be that rich, right?
Just to make friends with our princess?
If this Second Prince used such a strange and generous method to make friends with his every friend, wouldn’t his country be very poor?
If Xiao Jingrui could hear what they were thinking, he would surely sneer.
He was not the God of Fortune. How could he spend so much money on a random friend?
This time, the reason why he had made such a big fuss to befriend Lin Yuelan was because she was worth the price. Moreover, it was very likely that she could bring him back a reward that was ten times, a hundred times, or even a
thousand times higher.
Not only because of her ability but also because she might have gold and iron mines in her hands.
Secondly, he wanted to sow discord between Lin Yuelan and the emperor of Longyan Country.
These days, he could tell that Yuwen Longyan really doted on Jiang Zhennan and Lin Yuelan, especially Lin Yuelan.
If he gave these things to Lin Yuelan, Yuwen Longyan would be suspicious of her regardless of whether she accepted them or not.
If Lin Yuelan accepted him, it meant that Lin Yuelan had become friends with him. Then, Yuwen Longyan would obviously suspect that Lin Yuelan would betray him or betray the Longyan Kingdom..
