Jiang Ranli raised his eyebrows, his eyes full of sarcasm, "Brother? Do you know that you are the brother now?"
The Third Prince's words made Jiang Ranli feel even more ironic. Now that he knew that he was the elder brother, why didn't he remember that he was the elder brother when he framed Yinzhen and the Thirteenth Prince, and didn't he remember that he was the elder brother when they joined forces with the Crown Prince and targeted the Eighth Prince, Yin'er, the Tenth Prince, and the Fourteenth Prince?
Yinzhen looked at the third prince, then his eyes swept over the various jade pendants and gems he was wearing.
"The jade pendant is made of top-quality Hetian jade, and the jade was made during the Tang Dynasty, with a price of about three thousand taels. The gems on the hat were tribute from foreign countries, with a price of five hundred taels. The jade belt is decorated with gold, silver and several gems, with a price of one thousand taels. The ring was made in the Song Dynasty, with a price of two thousand taels."
Listening to Yinzhen telling the value of the items on the Third Prince one by one, Jiang Ranlile's eyebrows curved. Just now she was worried that she would not be able to get the eight thousand taels of silver, but now it seems that there is a chance!
"Third Prince, do you want to do it yourself or let my people do it? Don't be so hasty, let me finish what I want to say first. I will give you two quarters of an hour. Either you leave the things here to make up the eight thousand taels, or I will send someone outside to deliver a message and also send someone to the palace."
Things had developed to this point, and Jiang Ranli was too lazy to say another word to the Third Prince. She just left it at that and let him make his own choice. Although it was a threat to him, it also gave him the opportunity to choose.
The Third Prince's face went through a series of changes, and finally turned completely black like the bottom of a pot. None of the choices given by Jiang Ranli satisfied him, but he couldn't refute it. He knew that if he made Jiang Ranli angry, she would really do those things.
"Mad man," the Third Prince cursed as he took off his jade pendants, finger rings, jade pendants, gems, etc.
After throwing everything on the table, the Third Prince was about to leave, but was stopped by Jiang Ranli again.
"What else do you want to do?" The Third Prince gritted his teeth, wishing he could tear Jiang Ranli apart and swallow him.
"Third Prince, I'm afraid your memory is not very good. I just said that you owe me eight thousand taels of silver. These things added together are not enough to pay that price. Don't waste your words on me. I'm not interested in listening. Now you either find a way to make up for it, or take off your clothes to pay off the debt." Jiang Ranli didn't even look at him, but just lowered his eyes to play with the whip in his hand.
"You... Fourth Prince, you don't know the value of anything. Those things are worth far more than eight thousand taels," said the Third Prince, glaring at Yinzhen.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ranli's expression suddenly darkened, "I told you, I don't want to hear any nonsense. Besides, I believe the Fourth Master. Whatever he says is what it is. If you say one more word, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
The Third Prince was so angry that his eyes shifted back and forth between Jiang Ranli and Yinzhen. He finally chose to compromise and immediately took out the silver bills from his pocket.
The steward took the banknotes and counted them carefully, "Madam, these are 1,300 taels, plus those jade pendants and rings, the total is 7,800 taels of silver, and we are still short of 200 taels."
Jiang Ranli nodded, then looked at the Third Prince. This time she didn't say anything, but just looked at him calmly.
Seeing this, the Third Prince was a little overwhelmed and shouted, "You took everything that belonged to me, what else do you want to do now?"
What else do you want to do? Isn't your meaning obvious? Of course, you want money.
Jiang Ranli frowned slightly, "Enough of the nonsense, Third Prince can leave after paying the remaining eight thousand taels. Otherwise, I will send someone out to deliver the message in a quarter of an hour."
