Qin Ye bent down, picked up the dog-beating stick bestowed by the emperor, wiped it with his sleeve, held it, and threw it with his hand.

Swoosh——

The three embedded sections of fine iron were thrown out and turned into a thin and long stick. The beautiful patterns carved on it were vivid, solemn and beautiful, making everyone present feel nervous.

"By the way," Qin Ye raised his head and looked at Qin Zuoxiang with a smile, "What did you just say to me? I haven't slept well in the past two days, and my ears aren't working very well, so I didn't hear clearly."

He tilted his head and turned his ear:

"Can you say that again?"

She asked with a very kind and gentle smile.

However, in the eyes of Qin Zuoxiang, this look was a naked threat!

She held the "imperial sword" bestowed by the emperor. Would he dare to speak? Would he dare to contradict her? Would he dare to say more? Would he dare to say anything more?

The dog-beating stick means beheading first and reporting later. If the emperor himself comes, it is no joke.

If Qin Ye got upset and attacked him, he would just have to take the beating...

Qin Zuoxiang was silent for a few seconds, and when he spoke again, he no longer had the arrogance he had just had:

"I didn't say anything... I was just worried that the prince would get hurt in the fight with Prince Chen, so I hope you'll be careful and don't get hurt..."

Invisibly, he lowered his head.

Qin Ye's smile deepened: "Really?"

She glanced at the banknotes scattered on the ground and asked, "What do these banknotes mean?"

Qin Zuoxiang lied with his eyes open: "To make up for the fatherly love you have been missing for all these years."

I am not happy, but I have to go against my will.

Qin Ye raised his eyebrows, "Master Qin is really thoughtful. Here, you, the two of you, pick it up for me."

She raised her chin slightly and pointed at the two servants.

The two servants were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Qin Zuoxiang.

"What are you looking at me for!" Qin Zuoxiang immediately scolded. He was so angry that he didn't know where to vent his anger, so he immediately cursed:

"Are you deaf? Didn't you hear what Princess Chen said? Pick it up now!"

“Yes, yes, yes!”

The two men were so scared that they lowered their heads and dared not say anything. They quickly picked up the banknotes on the ground and handed them to Princess Chen respectfully.

Qin Ye took the banknotes with a smile, stuffed them full, and licked his face a little embarrassedly:

"Master Qin, as the saying goes, you should be grateful to others for what you have done for them. I have taken so much money from you, what can I do for you?"

Qin Zuo Xiang: "..."

She did it on purpose!

She knew very well that he wanted to bribe her and ask her to persuade Prince Chen not to fight with the Crown Prince, but she still asked him on purpose.

Can he speak?

If he said it, wouldn't he become a minister, interfering in the royal family and committing the crime of usurpation?

Does he dare to say it?

After so many years in officialdom, this was the first time he suffered a loss in silence, and it was at the hands of the fourth daughter whom he once looked down upon the most!

He had a dark face, pursed his lips, and said in a cold voice: "Tonight is just a family dinner, nothing important! It's just a meal, don't worry about it!"

"Oh?" Qin Ye asked with a smile, "Is there really nothing I can do to help you? I'll give you a chance. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."

She said this with a smile, and clapped her palms lightly with the dog-beating stick.

This is an invisible threat!

Damn it!

Qin Zuoxiang was so angry that his face was almost twisted, but he had to maintain the dignity of the head of the family and gritted his teeth and said:

"It's just a family dinner! There's nothing else to it! Eat! Food!"

If he continues talking, he won't be able to keep a straight face anymore!

He wants to take action!

"I won't eat, I have something else to do." Qin Ye raised his hand, shortened the dog-beating stick, put it back in his sleeve, and pocketed a full 100,000 taels of cash, smiling so hard that the corners of his mouth could not close.

"Thank you very much for the reward of 100,000 taels, Lord Qin. Goodbye."
