Qin Wan drank round after round of tea. Xie Qing also got a chair and sat beside her. He even grabbed a handful of melon seeds and gave them to Qin Wan. Several people gathered together to watch the fun.
Qin Yan watched Qin Wan leisurely eating melon seeds and asked curiously, "Aren't you worried that he won't be able to pay back the money?"
Qin Wan pointed to a few empty seats where the princes had been standing and said with a smile, "Look, isn't there someone helping out?"
Qin Yan was surprised: "Colluding with the prince, he's not afraid?"
Qin Wan looked at Xie Qing and chuckled, "You should ask our Crown Prince if he's afraid."
Xie Qing was calm and composed, how could he be afraid?
He even acted as if he really didn't want to be the crown prince: "What are you afraid of? If you have the guts, climb up. If you don't, kneel down before me."
"Oh, you're so domineering now, what do you do usually?" Qin Wan rolled her eyes at him, not being polite at all.
Qin Yan was worried for her. What was she doing? Even if the prince was not good enough, he was still the prince! Didn't she want to live?
Eunuch Zhang looked around with a smile, and when he saw that Xie Qing had no more melon seeds in his hand, he took a handful from his young apprentice's purse and gave it to him: "Here, there are some more."
Xie Qing grinned: "I ate a lot, and I'm getting angry."
Eunuch Zhang stuffed the whole thing into his pocket and said, "Hey, I'll eat it then."
As she was speaking, Qin Wan saw the housekeeper coming out holding a box.
The housekeeper presented the box to Qin Wan: "Miss Qin, this is 30,000 taels of silver. Please count it."
Qin Wan threw away the melon seeds in her hand, took the box and opened it. There was a thick stack of silver bills inside. She didn't know how Lu Yan had collected them all, there were even silver bills worth ten taels each, but the amount was indeed enough.
She counted the banknotes and took out another one and handed it to the housekeeper: "Please put it in the gift account for me. Now that I'm here, I have to drink a glass of wedding wine."
