Other photographers might not recognize Xiao Yuanshuang, but He Bingzazi might not.
Why else could the other party's maid be calling out to you?
They must have come for the set of glass cups he had.
this...
Looking around, I saw that none of the adults were there, nor had they arranged any attendants for me.
I'll have to improvise on the spot.
He Bing bowed and asked, "May I ask what business you have with me, young lady?"
Cherry was very proper. "My daughter has something important to discuss. May we speak in private for a moment?"
He Bing knew that he couldn't avoid the Third Princess once she was determined to find him, so he obediently followed her to a private room in a nearby restaurant.
Xiao Yuanshuang got straight to the point.
“Young master, I really like this set of glass cups. At the auction, I didn’t want to keep bidding because I wanted the money to go to the rightful owner.”
It means they don't want the money to go to the government.
This allows the authorities to profit for nothing.
He Bing was immediately stunned, his eyes widening. "That won't do. This belongs to His Majesty. According to you, the silver should belong to His Majesty."
"But Your Majesty doesn't want to."
Well...
How pedantic!
However, such pedantic people are easier to deceive.
Xiao Yuanshuang cursed inwardly, but put on her signature charming smile.
“Young master, I’ll offer two hundred thousand taels of silver to buy this set of glass cups. You won’t lose out.”
No!
I'm at a loss!
You'll get a beating from the adults when you get back!
He Bing shook his head vigorously, "I made the decision on behalf of the clan, I can't make the decision myself."
"Two hundred and fifty thousand taels, the extra fifty thousand taels is your reward, young master."
"They're all from the same clan, they won't kill you."
"If handled properly, and if the young master is willing to take a beating, then all 250,000 taels will be his."
"After all, this glass object looks quite worn out."
Xiao Yuanshuang continued her seduction.
If this set of glass cups breaks or gets lost on the way, He Bing will get a beating when he gets back.
A powerful and prestigious family would not kill someone over an inanimate object.
He Bing, on the other hand, would receive 250,000 taels of silver.
In Xiao Yuanshuang's view, it was an extremely good deal.
He Bing rolled his eyes inwardly.
Is he the kind of person who would risk his life for money?
Seriously, who do they think they are!
He wanted to leave.
He grinned at Cherry and was about to get up to say goodbye when Xiao Yuanshuang stood up first.
She gently brushed the handkerchief in her hand across He Bing's hand. "Young master, please wait here. I'll go out and wait for your good news."
She left, taking two attendants with her, and slammed the door to the private room shut.
"Look at it carefully."
"yes."
In an instant, only He Bing and Ying Tao remained in the room.
Her cherry-like face flushed red instantly, and tears welled up in her eyes.
A few days ago, there was a problem with the agreement between Xiao Yuanshuang and Lord Pi.
Lord Pi had originally agreed to go to Yue Kingdom to raise 250,000 taels of silver worth of grain, and then help Xiao Yuanshuang conceal the fact that she had lost to the Empress of Qing Kingdom.
But for some reason, Master Pi said that this matter could not be accomplished.
Grain prices in Yue have risen, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to buy grain.
In Xiao Yuanshuang's eyes, the old emperor must never know that she lost to the Empress of Qing.
It's important to shut Pi Daren up.
Moreover, if we want to keep Xiao Yuanche here legitimately, we need Lord Pi to step in.
In order to win over Lord Pi, Xiao Yuanshuang pushed Cherry out.
"I know I've wronged you, but I don't have anyone I can trust anymore."
"My dear, after you understand this matter, when you return to Yue, you can leave the palace and live a free life."
Xiao Yuanshuang's words were like the tongue of a venomous snake, chilling Cherry to the bone.
Cherry harbors a secret love for someone who is impossible to find.
She knew she couldn't resist; resistance would mean death...
Once this happens once, it will happen again.
Forget about Lord Pi; he is, after all, an envoy from a country.
And what family does this person in front of her belong to? What is he? She...
Feeling wronged and resentful filled my heart.
But she still mechanically moved her feet toward He Bing.
He Bing was completely bewildered. What was going on here?
"Ahhh! Don't come any closer!"
"I'm telling you, don't come any closer!"
It would have been better if he hadn't shouted; the moment he did, Cherry's tears started streaming down her face.
"No, why are you crying? Now it's my turn to cry!"
"Help!"
He Bing slumped off the chair, grabbed the wooden box beside him containing the set of glass cups, and hurriedly scrambled towards the window.
He yanked the window open, and at the same time, his waist tightened.
Cherry had already hugged him from behind.
Aaaaaah!
"Let go!"
"I'm not even married yet, and you're going to ruin my reputation!"
"Well..."
His voice stopped abruptly because he saw a face outside the window.
"No, Lord Yan, what are you doing?"
He Bing blurted out that Yan Jiu didn't know him, but he did know this newly risen official of the court.
That's right, Yan Jiuzhi was just about to climb over and come in through the window.
Hearing the noise, Cherry peeked out from behind and saw Yan Jiu. She was stunned and let go of his hand.
"No, I didn't, I..."
Yan Jiuzhi jumped in, frowning as he looked the two of them over. "I am Yan Jiuzhi, the prefect of Suizhou. I just heard someone calling for help downstairs."
Cherry felt like dying at that moment.
Why?
Why did I have to run into him at a time like this?
Why would I do such a thing?
Why do the three officials want to step forward?
