Chapter 398 An Unlucky Day



In desperation, Wang Er finally returned to the Night Palace.

After all, both Huang and Qian Ruocheng had said that they could only find Qian Ruoyu, and he also pulled a donkey cart over.

The donkey cart was loaded with exactly three thousand taels of silver.

However, the person who met him this time was not Qian Ruoyu, but Cuihua.

When he saw Cuihua, Wang Er even spoke with some struggle.

"Where's your queen? I'm here to look for your queen!"

Cuihua said calmly, "Don't bother looking for her. You are not qualified to see our queen now. She said that if you have any problem, just look for me!"

Wang Er, however, looked unconvinced.

"Looking for you?"

"What use are you to? Only your queen can enter the palace, so please ask you, young lady, to bring your queen out!"

When she heard this, Cuihua sneered.

Then she refused to agree to his request, which immediately made Wang Er panic. Then Wang Er continued.

"Hey, did you hear me? Didn't I tell you to let your queen come out? This is what our Prime Minister's wife asked!"

Cuihua even sneered, with an extremely contemptuous expression on her face.

"The Prime Minister's wife? What's the Prime Minister's wife?"

"Although the Prime Minister's wife is a first-rank imperial lady, my princess is a super-rank lady. You are such a dog slave, and you are so bold to say such a thing. I think you don't want to live anymore. Someone come here!"

As soon as Cuihua finished speaking, two people from the palace immediately walked to Wang Er's side.

Wang Er was immediately startled.

"Catch him and give him thirty lashes!"

"Let him know what the rules are!"

Before Wang Er could react, he was pressed to the ground. He didn't even have time to make a sound of resistance before a board hit his butt.

There was a snapping sound.

"ah!"

Wang Er let out a scream instantly. He never thought that the people in the palace would actually dare to hit him. This almost shattered his soul.

But this was only the first time.

Then several big boards hit him one after another, making Wang Er, who was pressed to the ground, feel unbearable pain.

He thought that if he had known this would happen, he should have run away as soon as he left the Prime Minister instead of coming to the palace to be beaten.

After being hit with thirty boards, Wang Er was in so much pain that he couldn't even stand up from the ground.

Then Cuihua spoke.

"Are you willing to tell me now? If not, get out of here!"

Wang Er didn't dare to say anything more at this time. He nodded quickly and kept talking.

"I'll tell you!"

He said it immediately at this time.

"Our Prime Minister's wife said that since the princess felt that the previous price was not high enough, we are willing to pay three thousand taels of silver this time... I just hope that the princess can fulfill her promise as soon as possible and let the imperial physician in the palace help treat him!"

After hearing this, Cuihua said very directly.

"No problem, this condition is not bad, but our princess does not fully meet it!"

Just after she finished saying this, two people from the palace came over here, and the next moment they drove the donkey cart behind them directly inside.

Seeing this scene, Wang Er immediately felt that he didn't have to run back and forth this time, but the next moment Cuihua said.

"Okay, this is half of it. Please send the other half of the silver quickly. After that, the imperial physician will arrive at your Prime Minister's Mansion within an hour."

And this time it was Wang Er's turn to be confused!

He never thought that the three thousand taels of silver he brought was only half of it!

Wouldn't that mean six thousand taels of silver?

But before he could say anything, Cuihua spoke again.

"This three thousand taels of silver is a deposit. If there is no follow-up, then we will not return this three thousand taels of silver!"

"Besides, no one has seen you send the silver here. If this matter is made public, the silver will not be seen by anyone. Just think of it as Cuihua pocketing it for herself!"

Wang Er groaned in his heart.

He never thought that he would be so deceived this time. Not only was three thousand taels taken away from him at once, but the price was not even the most satisfactory one.

But he had no way to get angry, so he could only agree reluctantly and began to retreat back to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Inside the Prime Minister’s Mansion.

"What!"

"She wants a total of six thousand taels of silver! She just took all that silver, and now she wants us to give her three thousand taels of silver?"

When Huang heard this, she immediately slammed the table in anger.

She never thought that Qian Ruoyu would ask for such a huge sum of money at this moment, demanding six thousand taels of silver all at once. You have to know that this was just to invite an imperial physician!

"This damn Qian Ruoyu is actually going too far. He is completely blinded by greed. Did the remaining three thousand taels get all taken away?"

Wang Er nodded helplessly.

At this moment, Qian Ruocheng walked over directly and kicked Wang Er on the shoulder, causing Wang Er to roll twice on the ground.

"This man is a useless thing. Did someone steal all your money?"

Wang Er felt extremely painful and even unlucky. Today could be said to be an unlucky day for him.

Not only did he have to go through the dog hole several times, but he also had to be beaten and scolded every time he went back and forth. Now he was kicked by the young master. It could be said that he was extremely unlucky.

But Wang Er didn't dare to say anything more.

Huang also spoke.

"Cheng'er, this matter has nothing to do with Wang Er, so don't scold him. He is also running around for our Prime Minister's Mansion, not to mention he is helping you to invite the imperial physician. Don't be angry with him!"

After hearing these words, Qian Ruocheng felt a little better.

But Qian Ruocheng said to Huang.

"Mom, what should we do next? Qian Ruoyu is still asking for three thousand taels of silver. If we don't give him the silver, won't the previous three thousand taels of silver be gone?"

Huang nodded helplessly.

"In this case, don't we have to pay another three thousand taels of silver? That's a lot of silver. Qian Ruoyu is really too abominable!"

As Qian Ruocheng finished saying this, he kicked the table next to him hard, wishing he could treat the table as Qian Ruoyu.
