After Chu Younan said this, Yue Xian's fake smile froze. He turned around to look at his son and walked away. "This kid did something bad himself. Let him find a way to pay for it! I don't care if he is beaten to death or treated like a slave."

Yue Hongcai, who was still fighting, sat down on the ground when he heard this.

At this time, Yue Hongcai has changed from a pig head to a big pig head, and Guo Lai has also been promoted from a baby panda to a giant panda.

"Dad! Dad! You can't leave! I am your only son!" Yue Hongcai shouted.

Yue Xian paused, gnashing his teeth and saying, "Your father is incapable of paying for it. You caused this trouble yourself, so you should figure out a solution yourself!"

Yue Hongcai hurriedly shouted: "Dad! If you don't care about me, I will tell my mother that you have a mistress outside!"

Yue Xian nearly bit his teeth to pieces, and it took him a long time to catch his breath after pointing at Yue Hong. "You bastard! Why did I give birth to a thing like you!"

After saying that, he looked at King Jingnan angrily, "How much do you want?"

Prince Jingnan didn't say anything, Su Bei spoke first: "Such a large courtyard, at least 10,000 taels, not counting the calligraphy and paintings that were burned. I heard that there was a calligraphy and painting hanging in the courtyard, which is worth ten thousand gold. So, at least 110,000 taels should be compensated. Round off the difference and give 100,000 taels."

Yue Xian really wanted to leave immediately. One hundred thousand taels? How long would it take him to save up? And he didn't even want to give a fraction! His face was as dark as the bottom of a pot.

"No, I really don't have that much!" Yue Xian simply said, "Only 10,000 taels, no more!"

"Okay, for the rest, write me an IOU! The monthly interest rate is 3%. "Su Bei waved his hand, "Someone, bring me paper and pen!"

"You...you are blackmailing me!" Yue Xian blew his beard and glared.

"How about the management rights of the academy for ten years?" Su Bei raised the corners of his lips.

Yue Xian clenched his fists, "Twenty thousand taels, any more is gone!"

Su Bei glanced at King Jingnan.

King Jingnan smiled bitterly, "Alright, alright."

"Okay! That's it, hurry up and bring the banknotes!"

Twenty thousand taels are enough to build a yard.

But for Yue Xian, this was almost like taking half his life away. On top of that, he also had to treat his son who was beaten into a pig's head.

After that, Chu Younan and Su Bei were arranged to stay in the palace. As they were walking towards their residence, Chu Younan suddenly stopped, turned around and pulled someone out of the woods.

It’s Su’er.

Although they have faces that are 50% similar, Su'er is more charming.

"I...I just want to say a few words to the princess." She looked at Su Bei pitifully.

"Go ahead." Su Bei said in a deep voice.

Su Er glanced at Chu Younan and said timidly, "I want to talk to the princess alone for a few words, is that ok?"

Chu Younan didn't move, "I know that although your internal strength is gone, your martial arts skills are still there. If you have anything to say, just say it. If not, we are going to bed."

Su'er gritted her teeth and knelt down, "Princess! I want you to go see the prince!"

Su Bei naturally didn't want to do that. If he didn't look at it, it would make people distracted. If he looked at it, wouldn't it be even more unbearable?

Chu Younan was even more unwilling, "Go back! The princess won't go!"

Su'er grabbed Su Bei's skirt and said pitifully, "Princess, the prince has been losing his appetite for a while and keeps telling me about the time when he and you went to Fengyuan. Please have pity on him and go take a look!"

"He has been kneeling for half the night. When I went to see him just now, he kept talking to me, saying that he never expected to see you again. Please have pity on him!"

"The prince is very worried about the prince's reluctance to marry. Please go and persuade him!"

At the end, Su Er's eyes were red. Su Bei gritted his teeth and nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you to take a look!"

Chu Younan wanted to say something, but Su Bei turned around and left without giving him a chance to speak.

Along the way, Su'er led the way in front and Su Bei walked behind. The two hardly spoke. When they were almost there, Su'er suddenly stopped.

"Princess, when you see the prince later, can you talk to him for a few more words? He thinks about it day and night, and even dreams about it..."

Su Bei interrupted her, "You follow him all day long, don't you think he has feelings for you?"

"He just treats me as your substitute." Su'er didn't even turn his head.

"When the fire broke out just now, he found out you were not there and was very worried."

Su Er paused, turned around and looked at her for a long time, "Don't you know who I was before? There is no possibility for me and him."

After saying that, she added: "I've been with him for so long, and he has never touched me."

Su Bei looked at her coldly for a long time before saying, "If that's the case, why do you care about him? Why do you insist on me coming to see him?"

Su Er was stunned, "We have different identities."

"I was a maid before. If you say so, I am not worthy of Prince Su, nor am I worthy of Cheng Shi." Su Bei rolled his eyes.

"I don't think you are worthy of it either." Su'er rolled her eyes, turned around and continued walking.

Su Bei was choked. It was probably impossible to talk to the ancients about freedom of love.

After a while, the two arrived in front of the ancestral hall. Su'er went up to the gatekeeper and said a few words to him, stuffed some silver into his pocket, and then waited at the door with Su Bei.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard and Cheng Shi came running over.

Through the door, Cheng Shi shouted anxiously: "Abei! Is it really you? Are you really here?"

Su'er and the gatekeeper retreated, Su Bei stood outside the door, and Cheng Shi was inside.

"Empress Dowager Mei is fine, and Prince Jingnan should calm down soon." Su Bei said through the door.

Cheng Shi smiled bitterly, "It's not because of Empress Dowager Mei. He just doesn't want me to meet you."

Su Bei was speechless.

Cheng Shi was silent for a moment before he said, "I heard that you woke up. I wanted to go back, but my father sent four secret guards to watch me all the time..."

Your secret guard is so stupid, you can fool him in any way you want! Su Bei just thought so, but didn't say it out loud. Instead, he said, "I'm fine, no need to rush around."

"But I'm not feeling well!" Cheng Shi put his hand on the door, as if he could feel her warmth through the door, "Abei! I miss you all the time, and I've never felt well for a single moment!"

"Master Cheng!" Su Bei whispered, "You have Su'er by your side. When we were in Tianxiang Courtyard, I saw that you were very anxious. You..."

Before she could finish her words, she suddenly heard the sound of wind and saw a figure falling in front of her.

Looking closely, Cheng Shi had lost a lot of weight and looked a little frail, but his eyes were extremely determined.

"Abei, she is just a maid, I have never overstepped my bounds with her!" His eyes were burning, "I have endured for a long time, I thought I could forget you by enduring, but after so long, I still can't forget you..."

"Master Cheng!" Su Bei took a step back. "I'm already married. Besides, those things about my past life were all made up by Gu Rui to deceive you..."

"I used to admire you because of that, but not now!" Cheng Shi stepped forward and held her hand. "You know what? Both of us have gone too far!"

"Huh?" Su Bei's mouth twitched.
