Chapter 55 What I Want Is Your Person and 100,000 Taels of Gold
How many??!
Ten thousand taels?!
Robbery?!
Ji Zhiyang's eyes widened and he angrily said, "You? Why don't you just go and rob it!"
"Ten thousand taels? What have I eaten? You? Are you going to charge me ten thousand taels? Even if you charge me all the expenses of the whole mansion, plus the two dogs in the backyard, it won't cost you ten thousand taels!"
Blackmail! Blatant blackmail!
It's simply outrageous!
Gu Huai took in Ji Zhiyang's reaction and raised his lips slightly, "This prince doesn't need the ten thousand taels." He took a sip of tea, put the teacup on the table, leaned back in his chair, and said casually, "In this prince's mansion, the clothes and things we use are naturally the best. It's already a great kindness of this prince to ask you for a mere ten thousand taels."
kindness?
Fuck you!
Go to you? Lord's mercy!
Is there anyone in this world who is more cunning and shameless than him?
What a nice thing to say. And? I don’t need the 10,000 taels… I don’t need you? You ask for 10,000 taels every time you open your mouth?!
He was so angry that his whole body was shaking, and he wanted to rush over and strangle this shameless bastard to death.
Really fucking shameless? Shame on you.
Ji Zhiyang shouted at him angrily: "You? Are you trying to fool a fool? You? Are you? Just taking the opportunity to make things difficult for me and cheat me out of money!"
"I'm just going to stay in a hotel. It won't cost me more than 10,000 taels in half a year, and..."
And I fucking put myself in this, if anyone should pay, it should be you who should pay me.
Gu Huai looked at him with a half-smile, and drank a sip of tea slowly, "Can't take it out?" He raised his sword-like eyebrows, and said with interest: "This king forgot that your daily expenses are all provided by this king, so how could you have 10,000 taels?"
"you?……"
Ji Zhiyang was choked by the pain and his face turned pale.
Gu Huai ignored him and just leaned back in his chair, saying in a leisurely tone, "I will let you go, but you don't have any money. What do you think we should do?"
Ji Zhiyang gritted his teeth and said, "Who said I don't have it? It just takes time!"
"Oh?" Gu Huai held his chin in his hand, "How long?"
"...I'll owe you the money first, and pay you back as soon as I make some money? You?"
Gu Huai curled his lips, slowly turned the teacup, and shook his head, "No."
Ji Zhiyang: …
I knew it! If he agrees, then we'll meet? Damn it!
On purpose! This is definitely on purpose!
This bastard is clearly bullying people!
Ji Zhiyang took a deep breath, suppressed his anger and said, "Can I still run away? If the prince is worried, I can write a letter of confirmation, right?"
“Who knows!”
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, looked at him for a moment, and suddenly smiled, "What's the use of the written agreement? If you run away, who should I look for?"
Where the hell am I going?!
Ji Zhiyang almost burst out cursing.
This bastard is clearly trying to make things difficult for him!
Ji Zhiyang couldn't help but ask, "What about you? What do you want?"
Gu Huai picked up the teacup, took a sip, raised his head nonchalantly, pointed at the yellow paper on the table, and said, "Sign it."
Ji Zhiyang turned his head to take a look, gnashing his teeth in anger.
Indenture?!
This bastard is simply insane!
What an insult!
"I'm not signing anything!" Ji Zhiyang glared, "You? Don't go too far!"
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows, "Pay back your debts? Money is a matter of course. Yi, how did this king deceive me?"
"If you can come up with the silver, you can leave. This king won't stop you. If you can't come up with the silver, then you can only stay in the palace to pay off your debts."
Natural? Righteous?
What the hell is this?
He is bullying others by taking advantage of his power!
Ji Zhiyang almost went crazy.
How can this bastard be so shameless?
They are simply beasts! Scum! Beasts! Scum!
Ji Zhiyang was so angry that he suddenly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to overturn the writing brush on the table.
As soon as my arm touched the edge of the table, Gu Huai grabbed it.
He frowned slightly, then relaxed his brows and said calmly, "What do you want to do?"
His tone was calm, and the strength of his grip on Ji Zhiyang's hand was just right, not to the point of causing excruciating pain, but making Ji Zhiyang completely unable to move.
Gu Huai loosened his grip slightly, and Ji Zhiyang took the opportunity to break free, glaring at him.
Gu Hui raised his eyes, smiled, and said slowly: "This pen and ink was given by my father himself. It is very valuable. If it is broken, how will you compensate me?"
Please give me some yarn!
You? You fool?
You? You think I can't recognize you?
You're using an ordinary brush and you're trying to trick me?!
Ji Zhiyang clenched his fists and gritted his teeth in anger.
Gu Huai narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile, "Still? What are you standing there for? Still? Not going to sign?"
I sign Nima!
Sign it? You must be crazy!
Ji Zhiyang snorted coldly, "No sign!"
"You? Let me leave the house before sunset? And I'll give you 10,000 taels?!"
You? Do you think I don't have any friends here? I'll go borrow it right now!
Dump you then? On your face!
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, staring at him with narrowed eyes, with an unspeakable meaning in his eyes, "Borrow it?" He stood up slowly, walked towards Ji Zhiyang, lowered his head and approached him, and said in a low voice, "Who should I ask for help? If you run away, who can I ask for help?"
His breath sprayed on his neck, feeling hot and itchy. Ji Zhiyang shuddered and had a bad feeling in his heart.
Where the hell am I going?
This guy... is so close, what are they doing?
Could it be that...
...You can't be that perverted!
Before he could think carefully, Gu Huai's hand suddenly fell on his waist, and Ji Zhiyang suddenly held his breath. His hand slowly moved up along his waist and stopped at his chest, "This? King forgot that when you were injured last time, the imperial physician gave you? All the medicines? We'll give you 30,000 taels in total."
"And the jade bottle and the broken jade hairpin you broke last time. They are my favorites. Add them together and I'll give you 60,000 taels."
He murmured softly, "Just now, you only paid back 10,000 taels, and now there are 90,000 taels more. When will you pay it back? I am worried about you."
He paused and continued, "You? Just now? Said you were going to borrow? But who would lend you? One hundred thousand taels of gold?" He deliberately emphasized? The word gold.
Gu Huai did it on purpose and made Ji Zhiyang sign the document to prevent him from having the idea of leaving him.
He originally just wanted Ji Zhiyang to stay by his side. But he didn't expect Ji Zhiyang to leave him even if he had to find someone to borrow money from.
Does he really want to leave here?
He naturally knew who Ji Zhiyang was going to borrow from!
Besides Han Jingzhi, who else?
Han Jingzhi must have 10,000 taels of silver, but how could he come up with 100,000 taels of gold!
Even if Liao Yuan was included, they couldn't make up the number.
Speaking of Liao Yuan, when I met him two days ago, I specifically told him to keep an eye on his people, but why is he still like this?
Although he repeatedly assured that his people had no interest in Ji Zhiyang, he was not Han Jingzhi. Ji Zhiyang went to him every day, and he was still worried.
I have to solve Gu Jing's problem as soon as possible, so that I can express my feelings to my father...
Ji Zhiyang was angry and laughed.
Gold?!
Oh!
...not human!
What a fucking inhuman!
"You? Do you have a heart? I was trying to save you? from your injuries, and I used your? medicine, and you? still? want to argue with me?" Ji Zhiyang could no longer? endure it, and roared: "You? Still? Are you reasonable?!"
Gu Huai raised the corner of his lips playfully, "It's unreasonable. It's not important? Yes, it's important? What's important is, you? The capital you owe? Wang Yinzi?"
I owe you!
This bastard just wants me to stay in the palace as a slave!
You never intended to let me go!
Also? One hundred thousand taels of gold!
Ugh!
Good! Very good!
I, Ji Zhiyang, have grown up and become more experienced, but I actually met such a shameless guy!
There is no solution to just sit there and do nothing.
I guess even if I take out the money, he won't let me go so easily!
...One hundred thousand taels of gold, who can come up with it...
I…
...A real man can bend and stretch, so I will endure it for now.
Ji Zhiyang took a deep breath and said firmly, "I can sign it, but I have a condition."
Gu Huai raised his eyebrows. "Tell me about it."
"Don't restrict my freedom anymore. I can leave the house whenever I want, and don't send anyone to monitor me!"
"Why should this king agree to your unreasonable request?"
Ji Zhiyang clenched his fists, with a desperate expression, "If you don't agree, forget it. I don't have any money to give it back to you. If you want, I'll give you my life! You can kill me or put me to death as you like. Don't try to force me to sign this indenture in such a despicable way!"
Why do I want your life? I want your body!
What's wrong with staying in the palace?
I have never treated him as a servant, and the servants in the mansion have never treated him as a servant. They treat him like a half-master. Why does he want to leave?
Am I nice to him?
Gu Huai stared at him for a moment, then suddenly laughed and said, "You are so courageous? I really underestimated you!" He changed the subject, "I promise you. But I also have a request."
Ji Zhiyang snorted coldly.
"You? Tell me." He wanted to see what this bastard could ask for. It was definitely not a good thing.
"If you go out, you must come back before dinner! From today on, you must have lunch and dinner in the house!" Gu Huai glanced at him calmly and coughed lightly, "You can't be alone with other men..."
That's it?
No... he said no to other men? Being alone... what does that mean?
Would he not...
Impossible, impossible, just now? Threatening me!
How is that possible!
...Are you afraid that I will go out and pass on the message?
"Why? Don't you want to?" Seeing that he didn't answer, Gu Huai raised his eyebrows and asked slowly.
Ji Zhiyang said: "As long as you keep your promise, I have no problem."
Originally, I thought he would make some unreasonable demands, but I didn't expect him to only make such a trivial request.
Could it be that he suddenly felt guilty?
Ugh!
He is? He has no heart!
I am too easily satisfied. He just threatened me!
Gu Huai smiled contentedly and said, "In that case, sign your name quickly."
Lest the night be long and full of dreams.
Ji Zhiyang hesitated for a moment, but finally, under the urging gaze, he picked up the pen and signed it quickly.
"I've signed it!" He threw the yellow paper on the table and said viciously, "Now I can finally leave the house, right?"
Gu Huai smiled and said, "No."
"I can't?" Ji Zhiyang laughed in anger, "You? What do you mean? You? Are you kidding me?!"
I shouldn't have believed him!
This bastard has no good intentions at all!
Gu Huai sat back down slowly, his expression calm and his tone gentle, "Let's go after lunch."
Ji Zhiyang was stunned.
he……
Gu glanced at him and said nonchalantly, "You promised me that you would have dinner at my palace, but you forgot so quickly?"
Ji Zhiyang hesitated for a second, pursed his lips, and said, "No."
See? Ghost!
Did he really change his gender?
That's not like him!
Although he still had doubts in his heart, Ji Zhiyang didn't show any of it on his face. He just said calmly: "Okay, I'll go after I've eaten and drunk enough."
Gu Huai glanced at him and asked casually, "Are you going to Xianxianglou?"
Ji Zhiyang looked at him warily, "So what? You? Just now? You promised not to restrict me. Do you want to break your promise?"
Gu Huai snorted and leaned lazily on the back of the chair, looking in a languid manner.
"Since this king has promised you, you can go anywhere! However, you also promised this king just now that you would not be alone with other men. Did you forget?"
"I haven't forgotten."
"If that's the case, then you? Shouldn't you go to the Xianxianglou?"
It turns out you don’t want me to go to Xianxianglou!
Why?
Before? Yes, he got angry when he found out I went to Xianxianglou...
Wait... You didn't know that I went to Xianxianglou to get angry, you knew that I went to find Han Jingzhi to get angry!
He doesn't like Han Jingzhi?
They all? They have no intersection, why doesn't he like him?
Is it possible... that he... is jealous?
No way! How could he be jealous?
Did he threaten me just now?
If you really have something for me, how could you have such an attitude...
What am I thinking about!
Ji Zhiyang sighed and retorted, "I promised not to be alone with a man. Lord, have you forgotten that there are so many people coming and going in Xianxiang Tower? How can we be alone together?"
Gu Huai opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a long time, as if he had never expected him to say that.
