Wang Jingze bowed his head to Li Daikui to show goodwill.

He came up with a plan, hoping to settle the matter with money.

Cui Yuanzhao, however, thought nothing of it. He gritted his teeth and said, "Li Da Kui, is it? When I return to the capital, I will definitely report this matter to my father. Then you can just wait for the army to attack, and I will make you kneel before me and beg for mercy."

Li Daikui frowned.

Upon seeing this, Wang Jingze immediately smiled obsequiously and said, "Lord Li, this boy has been spoiled since childhood. Please don't take it personally. We are willing to compensate and also want to redeem these two paintings. Please name your price."

Seeing Wang Jingze's appearance, Li Daikui nodded slightly and held up five fingers.

Wang Jingze breathed a sigh of relief and took out a silver note from his person and handed it over.

"The five taels of silver are compensation for this girl, and the other five taels are a tribute to the master."

Li Daikui sneered, "I heard you're the son of the Minister of Revenue, but your spending is a bit meager..."

Wang Jingze's expression darkened, and he quickly searched his body again, finding several silver notes hidden in a concealed place.

After carefully counting, he handed over several dozen taels of silver notes.

After receiving the silver notes, Li Daikui gave half of them to Cuicui.

Cui Cui immediately smiled and said, "Thank you, sir."

After saying that, she slowly left with her sisters, not caring what would happen next.

Li Daikui handed the painting belonging to Wang Jingze to the other party, then turned to look at Cui Yuanzhao.

"You just said you're the prime minister's son?"

"What, scared?" Cui Yuanzhao raised an eyebrow and glanced at Li Da Kui.

Li Daikui laughed and said, "Since you are the prime minister's son, we will give you face."

After a brief pause, Li Daikui said with a sinister smile, "Two hundred taels of silver, one hundred taels for compensation and one hundred taels for redeeming the painting."
