625 Reverse Scale, Things in the Coffin

After Wang Jinling explained, the prince nodded despite being dissatisfied, and agreed to let Ye Ye carry the coffin in: "I would also like to take this opportunity to see Young Master Ye's gift that was so ingenious."

It was obvious that because of Wang Jinling's words, the prince blamed all the mistakes on Ye Ye and didn't care about Feng Qingchen's rudeness at all. After the prince said so, of course no one else would say anything. Wang Jinling sent his servants to tell Feng Qingchen.

As if they had made an appointment, the people in the hall echoed the prince's words, saying that they wanted to see Young Master Ye's unique gift, and so... everyone lined up in order of official rank, with the prince as the center.

Although no one came out to command, everyone was smart and would not make a mistake in their positions. The Crown Prince and Xiling Tianlei stood at the front, while Xiling Tianyu, Nanling Jinfan, Wang Jinling, Cui Haoting and Zhai Dongming were half a step behind, and the others were further back...

Feng Qingchen and Ye Ye walked in front, and behind them were eight big men carrying in two black coffins. Before they even got close, the prince spoke up, "Young Master Ye is so generous that he wants us to wait here for such a gift."

The ambiguous tone fully demonstrated how unhappy the prince was.

No matter how unfavored he was, he was still the prince on paper. Ye Ye, the son of a city lord, knew that he was in Feng Mansion, but he still dared to carry a coffin and cause trouble.

When Feng Qingchen heard this, she knew that under Wang Jinling's persuasion, the prince had put all the blame on Ye Ye, and she nodded slightly to Wang Jinling to express her gratitude.

"Ahem..." Ye Ye paused and said, "Your Highness, you are too polite. Ye Ye has no intention of offending Your Highness. It was Feng Qingchen who asked to carry this gift in." Ye Ye glared at Wang Jinling viciously.

Insidious villain!

Wang Jinling smiled indifferently. If you have the guts, expose him!

"Hmph..." The prince snorted in dissatisfaction. Because of Wang Jinling's words, the prince had a preconceived idea and did not believe Ye Ye at all. If Ye Ye had not forced him, how could Feng Qingchen carry the coffin into the Feng Mansion with him?

"Now that it has been carried in, Young Master Ye, please open it and let me see it. I am very curious about what Young Master Ye's precious gift is?" Wang Jinling had hinted that there might be something in the coffin, so the prince asked without waiting for Feng Qingchen, the owner, to speak.

Ye Ye was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows unhappily, glanced at Nanling Jinfan and Xiling Tianlei, and questioned with his eyes: What's wrong with you two? How did you let things become like this?

The prince actually asked what was in the coffin first, which made him lose the initiative. How could he vent his anger with the things in the coffin? The things in the coffin could not be given to Feng Qingchen...

Nanling Jinfan and Xiling Tianlei shook their heads apologetically, saying that they were powerless and let Ye Ye figure it out on his own. They had never expected that Feng Qingchen would actually let Ye Ye carry the coffin in, and they had never expected that Wang Jinling would slander Ye Ye in public for Feng Qingchen.

The development of the matter was beyond their expectations. Although the effect was the same, Ye Ye was in the wrong. They didn't want to get involved, lest they get into trouble.

Are you kidding? Since Ye Ye has come forward, it means they don't want to get involved in this matter. They can add fuel to the fire, but asking them to join the battle is a dream.

That’s right, Ye Ye was used by Nanling Jinfan and Xiling Tianlei, and he didn’t even realize it.

Without help, Ye Ye had to rely on himself. Ignoring the prince's cold eyes, Ye Ye withstood the pressure from everyone and said brazenly: "Your Highness, you misunderstood. My gifts are only these two coffins. I won't give you the things inside the coffins!"

What?

Not sending away the things in the coffin?

Does anyone give gifts like this?

When Ye Ye said this, everyone looked at him with contempt.

It was really embarrassing for the Young Lord of Ye City. Zhai Dongming took advantage of his special status and ridiculed him directly: "Young Lord Ye is really generous. He only kept the box when he received the gift and took the gift back. People who don't know would think that Young Lord Ye's coffin is made of gold."

"In reply to the prince, this coffin is not made of gold, but ordinary coffin wood, and is worth at most ten taels of silver." Following Feng Qingchen's instruction, Tong Jue stepped forward and saluted in reply.

"Ten taels of silver? You have the nerve to give such a gift. Oh... I forgot, what is there for Young Master Ye to be embarrassed about? He even had the nerve to refuse to pay Feng Qingchen's medical fees, so it's normal for him to give a gift of ten taels. Young Master Ye, are you crazy about being poor in Yecheng? If you are poor, just tell me. I dare not tell you more, but my Prince Su's Mansion can still afford one thousand eight hundred taels."

Zhai Dongming's mouth was like a cannon, he kept talking non-stop. The more Ye Ye listened, the angrier he became. His eyes widened and he opened his mouth several times to interrupt Zhai Dongming, but Zhai Dongming spoke not only fast but also loudly, so he couldn't get a word in at all.

"So Young Master Ye is short of money. Young Master Ye, you should have told us earlier. If you didn't tell us, how would we know that Ye City is so poor. If it were much more, Jinling wouldn't dare to say, but if Young Master Ye asks for it, the Wang family can still give him ten or twenty thousand silver coins." Zhai Dongming set up the stage, and Wang Jinling was not polite and stepped on it.

Under normal circumstances, he would never do such a thing to take advantage of someone's misfortune, but who asked Ye Ye to cause trouble for Feng Qingchen on such an important day?

"Thank you both for your kindness. I don't need money in Yecheng for anything!" Ye Ye was irritated by Zhai Dongming and Wang Jinling's concerted efforts, and roared with gritted teeth.

"If you don't need it, then you don't need it. Why are you talking so loudly, Young Master Ye? Are you afraid that we can't hear you? Since Young Master Ye doesn't have any money, then please pay the medical fee. It's not much... one thousand taels of gold. I think you shouldn't be short of this little money, Young Master Ye." Feng Qingchen became more and more certain that the things in the coffin were very important, otherwise Ye Ye would not have said such a thing.

"It's just one thousand and two taels of gold. OK, I'll have someone give it to you later." Ye Ye said with a lavish look. Although he really felt that Feng Qingchen was greedy and wanted to slaughter him with a knife, he had just made a statement and was too embarrassed to bargain.

Give it back?

If I really wanted money, would I have waited until now?

Humph... Feng Qingchen sneered: "Young Master Ye, it's not that I, Feng Qingchen, don't believe you, it's just... you owe the medical fee for quite some time, will you pay it back later? When is that?"

Young Master Ye, don't accuse Qingchen of being stingy. Qingchen is not as rich as you, Young Master Ye. Since Young Master Ye cannot afford the consultation fee, I will not embarrass you. Young Master Ye, just keep the gift you brought in, and Qingchen will take it as the consultation fee."

Feng Qingchen's words were quite vicious. It wasn't "I won't pay the medical fee" but "I can't afford the medical fee". Doesn't this just mean that Ye Cheng is poor.

However, Zhai Dongming praised sincerely, "Qingchen is a man of high moral character. You have solved a big problem for Young Master Ye. Young Master Ye, you don't have to be grateful. It's just a mere 1,000 taels of gold. We don't care about it."

"I told you, I have silver in Yecheng. I'll have someone send it over later. Not to mention one thousand taels, even if it's ten thousand taels, I, Ye Ye, can afford it." Ye Ye tried hard to explain, but unfortunately everyone present looked as if they didn't hear him.

Don't forget, this is Feng Mansion, Feng Qingchen's territory. If Ye Ye wants to pretend to be a good guy after being a villain, he is dreaming.
