Xiao Cunyu has always been very stingy with them, so when they heard that she was going to treat them to a meal, they were all shocked.
"It's over, it's over. I think you've really gone crazy. Do you know how much money our meal costs?" Zhou Jingmao looked at her in horror. "I spent your money today, and you won't empty my house tomorrow, will you?!"
How stingy could Xiao Cunyu have been in the past? Anything of value in her hands would most likely require them to pay some money!
She would only give it generously when she was in a very good mood!
"Are you going to eat or not?" Xiao Cunyu rolled his eyes at them.
"Eat! Are you going to buy me as much as I want?!" Zhou Jingmao grinned, determined to make Xiao Cunyu bleed more. "But think about it, if you want us to say bad things about you, you can't come after us later! Besides, even if we say something unpleasant, it's your own fault. You can't hold a grudge!"
Zhou Jingmao could roughly guess what Xiao Cunyu was going to do.
During these three days, he was digging up corpses and dealing with the dead every day, and the reputation of "Jade-like Young Master" that he had accumulated before was almost gone.
Now, when they go out and see Xiao Cunyu appear, who wouldn’t be scared?
If they go outside and make a fuss again, people in the capital will probably change color when talking about Xiao Qi from now on!
"Just tell me what you want to say. It doesn't matter if you tell others how I bullied you and robbed you of your money." Xiao Cunyu looked calm and changed the subject: "In fact, I have had a very hard time these years. My Xiao family used to have a good background, and you also think I am rich, but... I have been wandering outside for so many years. Bandits and con men are rampant outside. All the money of my fifth branch of the Xiao family has flowed away. But these hard times are finally over!"
"..." Zhou Jingmao opened his mouth, "Are you serious? Your Xiao family's fifth branch is very...poor?"
In the past, he just thought that Xiao Cunyu was just born stingy.
"That's right. When I came to Beijing, the only difference was... I was penniless!" Xiao Cunyu said frankly.
After hearing this, everyone's faces turned strange.
Even though Xiao Cunyu was greedy for money, in their hearts, apart from Zhou Jingmao, Xiao Cunyu was the richest. However, they didn't expect that he was really poor!
I wonder how Princess Baoyi would feel if she knew that her third prince consort is so... unique?
"You...you should save more money, otherwise you will never be able to hold your head up in front of the princess for the rest of your life." Zhou Jingmao sighed.
There is not even a single elder in the fifth branch of the Xiao family. Apart from the Xiao clan, Xiao Cunyu is an orphan.
I have no parents, no money, no power, and I am a commoner. I thought I had a lot of money, but who knew I was still penniless!
So he only has one face!
Not to mention the princess, it would be a bit unfair if the person chosen for marriage was changed to their sisters!
"It's a blessing I've cultivated for eight lifetimes that the princess likes me! From now on, I don't have to be so stingy. I have the princess, so how can I lack money?" Xiao Cunyu grinned, revealing an extremely pious look: "I will definitely treat the princess well in the future!"
Several people suddenly felt a little sympathy for the princess.
Originally... they felt that Xiao Cunyu's temperament and the princess's arrogance were not a good match for him.
But at this moment...
Xiao Qillang is trying to get ahead of himself!
Several people could also guess that Xiao Qilang was dissatisfied with this marriage, and perhaps wanted the princess to give up, but...what Xiao Qilang said and did were not intentional lies, they all revealed his daily attitude!
