"Cry, cry, cry, all you do is cry. Someone stole the jade pendant your grandfather left you, and you still have the nerve to cry!"
"That's right, I was fooled by a three-year-old kid. He only grows in age, but not in brains!"
"That brocade purse was embroidered for you by your mother before she died. Why would you take something else but the purse?"
"Why did you give your sister those stinky shoes you were wearing? Hurry and give them back to me! Stop embarrassing me!"
"What? That jar doesn't contain crickets, it contains toads... Oh, my God... If you scare that little creature, even I can't protect you!"
The parents, who felt that their children had only lost some insignificant personal belongings, had no intention of asking for more, but since a few victims came to Zhao Ying for help, they followed her and came to watch the fun!
When Shangguan Qingyue saw Zhao Ying coming, he ran over excitedly, "Mom, why are you here too?"
Zhao Ying looked at the little guy helplessly. Just as she was about to ask something, the little guy took out the South Pearl from her arms and showed it to Zhao Ying, "Look, mother, is it as beautiful as the pearl on your head?"
Zhao Ying: Yes...it was just taken off her head.
Zhao Ying asked, "Yuer, did your brothers and sisters give you something just now? Where is it?"
[Wow, how did Mom know that? Mom is so amazing, isn't she?]
Shangguan Qingyue nodded rapidly, turned around and ran back, standing in front of the stacked items, and said, "It's right here!"
Zhao Ying said gently, "Those things are very important to my brothers and sisters. Can you return them to them?"
Shangguan Qingyue was puzzled, "Why? If it's so important, why would they take it out?"
"This is the gift they gave to Yue'er as a disciple. How can we take it back?"
Zhao Ying remained silent, waiting for the victims to speak. The family whose heirloom jade pendant was stolen walked up to Shangguan Qingyue, not daring to speak harshly. They begged, "Young lady, please forgive me. That is Guo'er's heirloom and it means a lot. If you like the jade pendant, I can give you another one..."
Shangguan Qingyue raised his eyebrows, as if considering it.
The family that sent the stinky shoes brought their barefooted boy over and said, "Miss, my brother didn't mean to tease you with his old shoes. If you don't mind, I'll give you a new pair..."
The family who delivered the cricket jar stared at the cricket jar not far away. Seeing that the jar had not been opened, they breathed a sigh of relief. Just as they were thinking of a reason to get the damn jar back, Shangguan Qingyue spoke.
"I can give it to you...but you have to take it back with your own ability!"
Everyone was puzzled, and Zhao Ying and the Crown Princess also watched with interest.
Shangguan Qingyue turned around, picked up the bamboo ring, and put it on the ground. "One ingot of gold is worth ten rings. If you can fit it, you can take it back. If you can't fit it, it's mine!"
When everyone heard this, they were surprised but also thought it was a good idea as it would not offend the princess and would not make them appear stingy.
Parents who had originally planned to spend money to avoid disaster also started to think about it.
The cricket jar owner was the first to hand the bright yellow gold to Heng Chen who was beside Shangguan Qingyue, and Heng Ye gave him ten circles.
The man began to set.
The night was dark, and the man was not good at this. Soon, he had used up all ten rings. Feeling embarrassed in front of everyone, he took out more gold and tried again...
While watching the show, the parents behind started to worry.
"It seems difficult to fit..."
"Why don't I ask my guy to come over? He's herded sheep on the grassland before..."
"How about this! We can just put it on whoever we put it on, and give it to them. If we work together, why should we worry about not getting the things back?"
The parents unanimously agreed to the proposal.
How many gold bars can a person carry on his body? Even if a servant carries them for him, how many can he have?
The parent who owned the cricket jar quickly lost all his money, and other parents began to show off their skills... but to no avail.
Soon, all the parents' money was spent.
Seeing this, Zhao Ying wanted to end this farce, but just as he was about to make a proposal, he was rejected by everyone.
Everyone stared at the stall in front of them, as if they had lost their souls.
Zhao Ying was familiar with this kind of behavior; she was addicted to it...
There is no way to stop an addict.
Shangguan Qingyue, standing nearby, grabbed a handful of fruit from somewhere and began chewing it. "This feeling of having so much money rolling in is so wonderful, isn't it? So this is the kind of good life Third Brother is living..."
[Sandede said that they have all learned their lesson and are unwilling to play dice with him, but they can't escape Sandede's control.]
[Third brother is really amazing, he can come up with such a good idea! ]
Zhao Ying: ...Shangguan Qiyou!
Zhao Ying was just about to ask someone to bring Shangguan Qiyou over when Shangguan Bailin arrived.
With his hands behind his back, the servant behind him was also holding a box.
He calmly stood beside Shangguan Qingyue and called out, "Yue'er..."
"Er De De, why are you here?"
Shangguan Bailin raised an eyebrow at her, then looked seriously at the crowd who were enjoying themselves, and said loudly, "My dear uncles and aunts, Bailin is not talented, but he has a little wealth. If anyone is in trouble, Bailin can lend you some silver notes temporarily, with only a small interest of 0.2%!"
Zhao Ying: ...
The Crown Princess was stunned. After a while, she asked, "Ying'er, is Bai Lin a loan shark?"
Zhao Ying raised his hand and rubbed his brow, as if to comfort himself, and said, "It's okay, who can borrow money to go to the hoop?"
As soon as the words fell, the cricket jar's parents jumped in front of Shangguan Bailin...
I don’t know how long it took, but the things were finally taken away.
Shangguan Qingyue was counting the gold in a mess, Shangguan Bailin was counting the IOUs, and Erwa made a fortune.
[Three deaf, one for me, three deaf, one for me, two for me, three deaf, one for me, three for me...]
