But why did he just feel from the other person a kind of protection that only men have for their women and hostility towards other men?
He looked directly at Murong Qingyun, and at this moment, he had already retracted his gaze.
Turning his attention back to Murong Xiao, Yelu Boyan asked, "Since this prince has admitted that the fault lies with us, you can name your price for compensation, young lady."
"The Crown Prince is truly a kind and generous man! Murong Xiao would like to thank you on behalf of the families of the deceased guards."
Murong Xiao?
The name is quite nice, but the word "smile" is really not a good one.
"Our Marshal's Office pays our guards 30 taels of silver per month, which is 360 taels per year. If they perform well, they will receive an additional 40 taels of silver at the end of the year as a reward, for a total of 400 taels per year.
Most of these guards were young men, with an average age of 20. They would return to farming at 60, giving them a total of 40 years to earn money. The total amount of silver they were supposed to earn was liang.
The guards came to the Marshal's Mansion at a young age to work hard in order to earn money to support their families. They had eighty-year-old mothers above them, wives and children below them, and without such pillars of support, their families would surely fall apart.
To comfort the grieving families of the deceased, wouldn't it be too much for each family to give 1,000 taels? Add to that the taels each person would have earned if they hadn't died, and each guard would have received taels of silver.
There are also injured guards. They will definitely not be able to perform the duties of the Marshal's Office for a long time. As the eldest prince of Xiliang, you should pay them two years of youth loss compensation and work delay compensation based on this calculation.
The eldest prince can calculate how many guards in our Marshal's Mansion have died and how many have been injured, and distribute the money to them. My brother and I will collect the money for the deceased, and today's matter will be settled."
Yelu Boyang's eyebrows twitched wildly when he heard Murong Xiao's words.
Fortunately, they came to celebrate a birthday and brought a lot of things, otherwise they would have lost more than 200,000 taels of silver just after arriving in Nanyue. Even if he was a prince, he could not afford the compensation!
If looks could kill, Yelu Ya's gaze would have already torn Murong Xiao into pieces.
I've seen hateful things, but I've never seen anything as hateful as this!
With so many people watching, he admitted his mistake and promised compensation. Although the other party was asking for a huge sum of money, the accounts were very clear, leaving him no choice but to refuse.
What's more, even if he said no, they couldn't leave today.
Finally, Yelu Boyan gritted his teeth and said, "Just do as Miss Murong says."
Seeing the young lady handing over the money and releasing the people, the guards of the Marshal's Mansion were filled with gratitude.
They had long since sold themselves to the Marshal's Office, and dying for it was their duty. Countless companions had sacrificed their lives for the Marshal's Office, yet no one had ever sought justice for them.
Today, the eldest lady not only got justice for them, but also restored their dignity. Although the guards did not speak, they were filled with gratitude towards Murong Xiao in their hearts.
Holding the banknote, Murong Xiao handed it to Jinse: "After returning home, find out the addresses of these guards and give them two yuan each. Send them to their homes."
"Yes, miss."
"Master Murong, Miss Murong, the princess is injured and needs medical attention immediately. Can we leave now?"
"Goodbye, Crown Prince. Goodbye, Princess." Murong Qingyun's voice was still as gentle as jade.
Apart from answering Yeluya's own name, this was the first sentence he said after the incident.
