"Lord Zhang, would you still like Hongyu to serve you?"
"No...no..."
"Ah! Even though Hongyu has an incurable disease, she can still wash your feet and massage your back."
"No...no, don't touch me, I don't want people, I want money."
"Alright, did Sister Fish bring ten thousand strings of cash?"
“Not ten thousand strings of cash.” Zhang Manguan changed his mind. He thought that all the young masters of the Mu family, except for Mu Nanfeng, were merchants. Mu Chenyu was even more wealthy, with a fortune that could rival that of a country. Why not take this opportunity to make a fortune?
He wants Hongyu to be exempted from labor service to pay off her debts, and he demands 50,000 strings of cash.

Hongyu wept, unable to suppress her anger even though she was in shackles. She rushed over, threw the silver notes at the servant, and roared at the Prince of Xiang, "You are disrespectful to your elders! You have made the benevolence of Young Master Songhua sound filthy and disgusting. You are destroying kindness!"
King Xiang glared angrily at Hongyu, saying, "If you truly care about Songhua, you should sever all ties with him. Do you dare swear to Heaven?"
