Netizens were also incredulous. Princess Chaoyan asked Mu Nan to pay back the money, which showed that she really hated him. Then how did they get together later?
They were becoming increasingly confused.
"Why? Is it not possible?" Yun Yuan asked, "You took my things, so isn't it normal for me to ask you to return them?"
"I didn't take it, you gave it to me as a reward!" Mu Nan accused, "You are a princess of a country. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at for doing this?"
"Giving you the things for free and letting you support a prostitute will only make me a laughing stock." Yun Yuan said, "I'll give you three days. If you can't get it back within three days, I'll have your whole family thrown into jail."
"I won't give back what you gave me." Mu Nan gritted his teeth.
"It's not a reward, it's a loan!" Yun Yuan said, "I used to admire your talent, and seeing that your family was having a hard time living in the capital, I offered you help out of kindness. Now I don't want to help anymore, and I've already made a list of the specifics."
Xiaodie took out the list and handed it to Mu Nan.
Mu Nan collapsed and pushed Xiaodie away: "I don't accept it!"
"Oh, don't you have integrity and a sense of honor? Now you're asked to pay me back and you won't accept it? Weren't you very happy when you used my things to spend a fortune in the brothel?
Mu Nan pursed his lips tightly and said bitterly, "I didn't know you minded so much. I won't do that again. I swear I will never set foot in Qunfang Tower again in my life."
"Just wait for the summons from the Dali Temple." Yun Yuan sneered and walked past him towards the carriage.
"Chao Yan!" Mu Nan stopped her: "Didn't you care about me the most in the past? Why, why do you suddenly want to draw a line between us? Is it because His Majesty..."
"How dare you!" Yun Yuan shouted, "Father is the ruler of a country. It's not your place to comment. Look for your own reasons for everything. Don't you think about what kind of person you are?"
But Chaoyan had liked him before, Mu Nan thought stubbornly, he had never changed from the beginning to the end, it was her...
"You've changed."
Mu Nan looked at Yun Yuan with sad eyes.
Yun Yuan sneered, "You're truly ridiculous. When I wanted to stay with you, you said you had lofty ambitions and grand aspirations, and that you didn't want to be a consort, fearing it would waste your talent. Now that I've told you to stay away, you've clung to me again, acting like you can't live without me. It's really like everyone says, you only care about my money."
"No, I like you too..."
"Bah!" Yun Yuan couldn't help but let out a loud "Pah!". Ignoring Xiaodie's shocked gaze, she fiercely threatened Mu Nan, "Don't show up in front of me again, or I'll castrate you and make sure you never have that disgusting thing again!"
Mu Nan didn't understand. Wasn't he just looking for a prostitute? He wasn't going to marry her home. Why was Princess Chaoyan so angry that she wanted to castrate him?
Aren’t all men like this?
Yun Yuan didn't want to waste any more words with him: "There are plenty of men in the capital for me to choose from. Who do you think you are?"
She snorted disdainfully and took Xiaodie into the carriage.
The carriage was surrounded by guards, three layers inside and three layers outside. Mu Nan didn't dare to get close and could only watch her go away.
【I feel relieved.】
[I don't accept or forgive her. The princess is so beautiful, you can't reach her! ]
[The person above knows how to name tomatoes.]
[Mu Nan is indeed a scoundrel. On the one hand, he acts noble in front of the princess, while on the other hand, he uses the princess's money to support the courtesan.]
I just want to see how they get back together.
Mu Nan returned to the inn in a daze.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw the whole family waiting outside his room, with an expression of anxiety and anticipation on everyone's face.
When Mu's mother saw him, she immediately rushed forward and grabbed his arm tightly. "How is it, son? Did Princess Chaoyan give you any money?"
The whole family gathered around, their eyes fixed on Mu Nan, their eyes full of anticipation.
However, Mu Nan just stood there blankly, as if all the life had been sucked out of him, and he looked extremely decadent.
After a long while, he slowly shook his head and said in a tone of near despair, "Princess Chao Yan wants to draw a clear line between me and her and return all the things I took from her before. Otherwise... my whole family will go to jail."
"What?!" Everyone was shocked when they heard this.
Old Madam Mu almost lost her balance as she stared at Mu Nan in disbelief. Her lips trembled as she asked, "You mean, Princess Chaoyan wants you to return all the gold and silver notes, as well as all the gold and silver treasures?"
Mu Nan nodded silently, not daring to look his family in the eye.
The room was dead silent. Old Mrs. Mu couldn't bear the blow, rolled her eyes, and fainted.
The scene was in chaos. After great efforts, everyone finally woke up the unconscious Mrs. Mu.
Afterwards, everyone sat around the table, everyone's face full of anxiety and worry, and discussed together what to do next.
Mu Bei said solemnly, "The things Princess Zhao Yan gave to my third brother are worth three or four hundred thousand silver coins. Where can we get such a large sum of money?"
Mu Dong said solemnly: "Even if my third brother worked in the Hanlin Academy for his entire life, he wouldn't be able to save this much money."
"What should we do?" Mu's mother was worried.
Father Mu looked serious, his eyes piercing Mu Nan as he said, "Tell me the truth, Anan, where did you spend the money? Did you really give it all as gifts to the masters?"
"I...I..." Mu Nan stammered.
When Mu's mother saw her son like this, her heart ached instantly. She turned to Mu's father and complained, "Don't blindly doubt your son. He has been honest since he was young. If he said it was a gift, then it must be a gift."
"Since we've given so many gifts, could you please ask those adults to help us get Princess Chaoyan to not pursue the matter?"
Mu Xi said, "Princess Chaoyan is a wealthy woman, she certainly wouldn't be interested in a few hundred thousand taels of silver. She must be angry with us because she did this, and she's still angry."
"How could it be us? We didn't do anything." Nian quickly distanced herself from the matter: "Even if Princess Chaoyan is angry with the Mu family, it's towards your second branch."
Mu Dong: "Yes, Princess Chaoyan must have realized that Second Aunt was bullying her and she was unwilling to endure it, so she didn't want Third Brother anymore."
"How can you put it on me?" Mu's mother was anxious: "Son, call Princess Chaoyan out and I will talk to her in person. How can I ask you to pay back the money just like that?"
Mrs. Mu: "Isn't that woman attracted to our Anan? Anan, just say a few soft words to her and tell her that we agree to let her in."
Li rolled her eyes imperceptibly and said that if they continued like this, something bad would happen to them sooner or later. What they feared would come true and they were in trouble in just a few days.
Mu Nan said embarrassedly: "Grandma, it's useless. Princess Chaoyan no longer wants to marry me."
"If she doesn't marry you, who will she marry?" Old Madam Mu said, "She's been chasing you, and her reputation in the capital has long been ruined. Who else would marry her except you?"
