Chapter 290 This is a good deal
"You're the one who broke my favorite teacup? And my fruit tea, a total of ten thousand taels. You can compensate me. Just give me silver notes. If it's not enough, you can just make up the difference with small change. I won't mind."
Guo Shuangwen, who was blocked, wanted to kick the man away, but when he thought of his eyes and arms, he retracted his outstretched foot and took a few steps back in fear.
"How much? Ten thousand taels? Wasn't it five thousand two hundred taels just now? How come it's ten thousand taels now? You are bandits, robbing!"
Bu Bu snorted lightly, and his noble aura was instantly revealed. Although he was only three years old, his temperament crushed the princess into pieces.
"The fruit tea and the set of teacups are indeed worth five thousand two hundred taels. If you didn't mean to, you'd just pay five thousand two hundred taels as compensation, but since you deliberately spilled the fruit tea that Auntie gave me and my brother, you should pay double. The extra money is for Auntie to calm her down."
"To calm her nerves?" Guo Shuangwen pointed at his own face and said sharply, "Look carefully, she slapped me three times, not me. You want me to pay her money to calm her nerves?"
Bu Bu looked at her coldly: "The first two slaps I gave you were because you spilled my brother's and my fruit tea, and the last one was because you called my mother by her name and insulted my father's innocence, so you deserve these three slaps."
"But Auntie did nothing wrong. You knocked over the fruit tea in her hand and then continued to make trouble. Naturally, you have to pay her compensation. If you don't..." Bu Bu's eyes flashed with ruthlessness, "Your unreasonable and talkative tongue will be wasted."
Jin Congcong squatted beside the carriage, watching the fun while counting on his fingers: "Ten thousand taels minus five thousand two hundred taels is still left... four thousand eight hundred taels. I can get four thousand eight hundred taels for free by slapping someone three times. This is a good deal. Why can't such a good thing happen to me?"
Guo Shuangwen looked at Bubu's little appearance with hatred on her face, but she knew that she couldn't do anything to this little thing. Although she was reckless, she was not stupid. After many years in the harem, she had already learned to observe people's words and expressions.
Although the Regent King and Regent Princess of the Great Zhou did not come over, their eyes never left this place. There was also another little thing that had been standing by the broken tent watching them for a long time.
She had no doubt that if she did anything excessive towards the arrogant girl in front of her, she would definitely lose something.
"Ten thousand taels... I don't have that much."
Guo Shuangwen spoke dryly.
"It's truly shameful that the Princess of Beining doesn't even have ten thousand taels of silver. Besides, if you don't have any, you can always borrow some. The envoys and the escorts should have brought some silver, so you can pool your money. This princess has always said that she doesn't mind small change."
Guo Shuangwen's face flushed red as he was told: "It's no wonder that I don't have ten thousand taels of silver, as if you do."
Bu Bu glared at him, "I'm only a month away from turning three. Is it strange that I don't have ten thousand taels? How old are you and you're comparing yourself to me? Do you have the nerve to do that?"
"Besides, what if I don't have ten thousand taels of silver? My mother has it, my father has it, and my parents have several ten thousand taels. My parents have so much silver that they can kill you with it. It's better not to exchange it for copper coins."
"Stop dithering. It's your choice whether to pay the silver or cut off your tongue."
The envoys and guards looked at Bubu's serious eyes and knew that the child looked at Xiaoke and was a man of his word. If they really couldn't pay the money, their princess's tongue would be in danger.
They could still preserve the broken arm with ice and figure out a solution when they got back to Beining, but the tongue...
"Princess, why don't we just compensate you for the silver? As long as you have the green mountains, you will not be short of firewood. Silver is just material possessions."
Guo Shuangwen gritted her teeth and said, "But this princess really doesn't have ten thousand taels right now."
"Then cut off your tongue."
There were actually more than just a few guards and maids who came with Beining this time, but many of them died on the way because of the princess's inexplicable temper. They all had families.
Seeing the dagger that suddenly appeared in Bier's hand, the guards sent by Beining to protect her all lowered their heads. They had just heard about the life that the maids in the Regent's Palace lived. They also thought about the life that they lived.
If possible, they really hope that the regent of the Great Zhou can kill their useless princess as soon as possible.
“You…you…”
Guo Shuangwen was almost furious when he saw that none of the guards he brought with him came to protect him. He could only cover his mouth and say, "I'll make some money, let me make some money. I will definitely make 10,000 taels for you. Don't cut my tongue."
The Beining guards and maids were very happy to see her like this, but they were afraid of being held accountable later, so they kept their distance and remained silent.
"Princess, how much silver do you have? If it's not enough, Lord Wei and I can lend it to you first."
Guo Shuangwen was incredulous. Borrow? They actually said borrow. Shouldn't they quickly take out all their money and give it to him?
Borrow...but you have to pay it back.
Bu Bu smiled and said, "My two lords, it would be best if you asked your princess to write you an IOU or something. Otherwise, you will not be able to get back the money you have worked so hard to save."
The envoy and the guard looked unhappy. Ten thousand taels of silver was not a small amount. Even if each of them only paid a few thousand taels, it would be enough to make them feel distressed. That was their salary for several years and their daily gray income.
"Princess, look..."
"You...you don't really want me to write you an IOU, do you? I am a princess! My mother is my father's favorite concubine! It's an honor for you to give me money."
The two men looked grim. "If it's a few hundred taels of silver, that's fine. But if it's a thousand taels... please forgive us, Princess. We have a whole family to support."
Guo Shuangwen waved her personal maid over and asked angrily, "You have always been in charge of this princess's money. Now that you have any money left, give it to me."
The maidservant nodded quickly for fear of being implicated, and soon took a small box from the carriage and handed it over respectfully.
"Princess, all your silver is here. There's still... still... three hundred taels left."
"How much? How much do you say?"
The maid lowered her head, wishing she could bury herself: "Three...three hundred taels."
"How could this be? This princess brought 8,000 taels of silver notes with her this time. How could there only be 300 taels left?"
Guo Shuangwen kicked the maid to the ground: "Tell me! Did you steal the princess's silver? Did you?!"
The maid knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly: "It's not Princess, it's not this maid, this maid didn't steal."
"Where did all my money go?! If you don't explain clearly today, I will beat you to death!"
