Madam Dong and Dong Mingshan suppressed their anger and sat down expressionlessly. Guan Yueru accompanied Dong Nianmei out of the front hall and avoided them.
"You two, I won't beat around the bush. I came here on the orders of the prince to ask for a favor." Liu Yushi went straight to the point.
Although he said that he wanted a favor, Liu Yushi's attitude was arrogant and he didn't look like he was asking for help at all.
The prince's last army is about to set out, and the Dong family must raise some money.
Neither Madam Dong nor Dong Mingshan said a word, but just looked at Liu Yushi in silence.
Liu Yushi sneered and looked at them helplessly in front of him, feeling a sense of pleasure inexplicably welling up in his heart.
At first, I pretended to be their grandson in front of them, but they didn't give in.
What a jerk! He refuses to accept my toast and then drinks the wine for punishment.
"The prince needs the support of your Dong family. For one million taels of silver, the prince can guarantee that the grandson of the Dong family will have no worries." Liu Yushi came to extort money and was arrogant, not as good as the second in command at the time.
"Cong'er is in your hands?" Dong Mingshan stood up angrily. Although he already knew it in his heart, he was still furious when he heard them say it out loud.
Are they officials? They are doing kidnapping and trafficking in the name of the government. What is the difference between them and bandits?
Madam Dong was so angry that her heart ached.
"Of course I am here, but don't worry, as long as you listen to the prince's instructions, the prince has promised that he will not harm Dong Cong. When the prince grows up, he will not treat you unfairly."
Liu Yushi no longer concealed his intention and stated their plan bluntly.
But the latter sentence clearly painted a big pie for the Dong family. They would not treat them unfairly. How could they not treat them unfairly? If they did not make it clear now, they would have the final say in the future.
The Dong family obviously did not expect them to treat them well. They only hoped that Dong Cong could return safely.
"We don't have that much silver at home. We can only collect 300,000 taels. But we have a condition. We give you 300,000 taels, and you have to release Dong Cong and Zhao Qingfeng."
Dong Mingshan is indeed a businessman. In a short time, he adjusted his mood and started bargaining.
"No, three hundred thousand taels of silver is too little. How could your dignified Dong family only have three hundred thousand taels of silver?"
Liu Yushi swallowed and thought to himself, my goodness, they are worthy of being the Dong family, the richest family in the Min Dynasty, three hundred thousand taels of silver can be raised easily.
"We can gather three hundred thousand taels of silver within five days. The rest of the silver cannot be gathered in a short time. We need to give us some time. We can gather it in a month."
Dong Mingshan calmly stated his plan. Compared with his son's life, money is just a thing outside of his body.
Liu Yushi was overjoyed. The task given to him by the prince was to collect 500,000 yuan, and at least 200,000 yuan within five days.
Unexpectedly, I completed the task given by the prince easily without any effort.
He pretended to think about it for a moment before answering reluctantly, "I will discuss it with the prince."
Dong Mingshan didn't wait for him to leave and spoke again, "Don't forget my conditions, release Dong Cong and Qingfeng."
Liu Yushi paused, said nothing, and left in a hurry. He didn't know whether the prince would agree to this condition.
As soon as Liu Yushi left, Qian Chunhua went to Dong's house.
"Aunt, Mingshan." Qian Chunhua looked much better than when she had just left.
Madam Dong grabbed Qian Chunhua's hand, her eyes red, "Chunhua, it's our family that has implicated you and your Qingfeng."
Qian Chunhua smiled and shook his head. "It's not about who is causing trouble for whom. If we want to blame someone, just blame our bad luck for running into that beast Yang Feiling."
"He is really a beast. For so many years, he has been sucking blood from our Dong family. Now that we have divorced, he still does this."
Qian Chunhua comforted them, "In fact, the two children are together now, accompanying each other, so they are not that scared."
