Mr. Wang hid behind Rong Zhen, muttering, "One thousand and two taels of silver just for such a brothel girl, it's not worth it!" Hearing Mr. Wang's complaint, three black lines flashed across Rong Zhen's forehead. He was in a hurry to go out to find Gu Yunru's shadow, but it was not appropriate for him to show up at this moment. The back door was strictly guarded... He could only wait for Ji Heng to successfully bring Ji Ruyan back.

"Of course there is no problem with that. Before, I negotiated with Mother Liu for two thousand taels of silver, but now I have changed my mind and want three thousand taels of gold. I would like to ask if you have that much silver." Zhang Mo's tail was almost raised to the sky with pride. Looking at the Monkey King in front of him, who had jumped out of nowhere and dared to make a fool of himself in front of him, he must humiliate this guy today.

Everyone booed. This Zhang Mo was really a traitor. These three thousand taels of gold... I guess his father must have even more gold and silver treasures at home. Everyone knew it tacitly. Zhang Mo was famous for his playboyism. Today, he had to take Ji Ruyan away.

"Three thousand taels of gold, how should I address this gentleman?" Mama-san ran to Ji Heng in a flattering manner, and Ji Heng said silently: "Ten thousand taels of silver!"

Wang Xiucai almost fainted when he heard this number. What kind of number is 10,000 taels of silver? Zhang Mo clenched his fist in exasperation and said, "You want 10,000 taels of silver, right? Then I'll give you 100,000 taels of silver. Let's see who can compare to me. I'm telling you, little brat, Ruyan is mine. Don't even think about getting her!"

Everyone watched with great interest, it was simply a duel between local tycoons.

"Two hundred thousand taels." Ji Heng blurted out this number calmly. After all, it was not his money that was being spent, he was just entrusted by someone else. When Rong Zhen heard this number, he was completely dumbfounded. If his royal brother knew that it would cost such a huge price to redeem Miss Ruyan, this mama-san would probably be so happy that he would laugh even in his dreams.

Zhang Mo was so frightened that he could not speak. He looked at the ignorant brat in front of him and said, "I have never seen you before. You said you have two hundred thousand taels? Who can guarantee that you have two hundred thousand? You are dressed like a human being.

Unless you show us two hundred thousand taels, I won't believe it." Zhang Mo is not stupid. The mama-san also stared at Ji Heng with suspicion. This young man is indeed unfamiliar. Is he here to cause trouble?

To be on the safe side, he was asked to take out the silver and banknotes. Unexpectedly, Ji Heng calmly asked someone to move two boxes of gold and several banknotes with a face value of ten thousand taels.

Mama-san was delighted to see this. Ji Heng didn't want to continue shouting, which would only waste time, so he said to the woman, "As long as you let me take Ji Ruyan away today, all the money will be yours." Mama-san was delighted to hear this, and Zhang Mo on the side stared at the housekeeper behind him and said, "How much money do we have left?!"

He couldn't afford to lose to this brat he had never met before. Besides, with so many people watching, everyone knew what kind of person he was. If he lost today, these people might laugh at him in the future.

"Young Master, you'd better spend less. If the master knew that you spent so much money on a prostitute, he would definitely make trouble for you."

The butler was also scared. Although the master doted on the young master, he would not let him lose all his family property, otherwise he would be angered to death.

"I don't care, I must get Ji Ruyan, I must get Ji Ruyan!"

Seeing his furious look, Ji Heng directly slapped him on the back of the head with his palm to prevent him from going crazy. He said to the housekeepers behind him: "If you don't carry your son in, he might as well pay for the entire Zhang Mansion. I'm doing this for his own good." After looking at each other, they had to carry the unconscious Zhang Mo back.

He handed the banknotes to Mama-san and asked her to bring Ji Ruyan down to see him.

"Please wait a moment. I'll go call Ruyan right away!"

Mama Sang came to Ruyan's room with a smile on her face. Seeing her sitting there with a gloomy face, she walked up to her, took her hand and said, "Ruyan, you know how generous that young master is!"

Ji Ruyan said with a cold face: "Haven't you seen it a long time ago?"

"Hey, I'm not talking about your Zhang Mo. Here comes a handsome young man. He's so handsome. Come downstairs and take a look. Who knows, you might fall in love with him!"

Mama-san was laughing so hard that her body shook. If she were Ji Ruyan, she would wake up laughing even in her dreams. Being handsome and having so much money was a blessing that could not be obtained in several lifetimes! "Isn't the new young man from Yangzhou?" Ji Ruyan asked rationally, seeing that Mama-san was almost blinded by money.

The mama-san said impatiently, "Oh, don't worry about it. Maybe he is a rich man from Beijing. You will know if you go and meet him. Also, he has redeemed you. You can pack up your things tomorrow and take away anything you want."

Seeing that she was reluctant to leave, as they had some feelings for each other after spending these years together, Ruyan hurriedly packed up her things and went downstairs with Cui Lian. Wang Xiucai and Rong Zhen had been hiding behind the pillars, their legs almost numb from squatting.

Finally, he saw Ji Ruyan coming down the stairs. Wang Xiucai looked at the woman and found her extremely charming. He muttered, "This is the most beautiful courtesan in Wanhua Tower. I think she is not as pretty as my sister-in-law..."

Rong Zhen gave him a look in return and whispered, "You have good taste."

"Ruyan greets you, sir." Ji Ruyan came to Ji Heng. She had never met him before, so why did he suddenly want to redeem her? Was there something else going on? Ji Ruyan was confused, but she still got on his sedan chair obediently. The misunderstanding was resolved. Rong Zhen and Wang Xiucai walked on the deserted street, and they hadn't seen Gu Yunru yet.

"Teacher Wang... I took Shao Wei to ask around in the alleys. Today, an auntie selling fish said she saw her sister-in-law picking up gold in the North Street alley, and then two men rushed out with a black net and caught her!"

Wang Xiucai's students hurried over and told the two of them the information they had gathered. Rong Zhen's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that they had encountered something else...
