C102 (2/2)

The little beggar jumped out to pick up the banknotes before running off. Everyone looked at the little beggar and then at Xiao Yi's darkening face. It was unknown who started to laugh softly before bursting into laughter.

Regardless of the reason why Xiao Yi owed Lu Jinniang, from today onwards, he was the crown prince of a country. He still had to seek out Ling Tian for money. Even though Xiao Yi definitely wouldn't care about the money, Lu Jinniang definitely meant to do that.

After the little beggar returned, Lu Jinsheng counted out seventy silver taels in front of everyone before handing them over to Xiao Yi with a smile, ”Seventy silver taels, your highness. The payment is two. Your highness, your highness, I'll take my leave.”

”...”

No matter how great of an impact the matter in front of the Crown Prince's Palace had caused, Lu Jinsheng leisurely returned to his own courtyard. He had already beaten up his second disciple, just like how the legendary second disciple accidentally reincarnated into the world, and handed over his spoils — the three hundred taels of silver that the Crown Prince's Palace had used to bribe him — to Lu Jinsheng.

Even though the second disciple was greedy for money, there were still some areas that could be considered better. For example, he was more resistant to beatings … Cough cough, before completing the customer task, he would absolutely not touch the silver that was given to him. He could abandon all morals for money, but he would not touch the money before he completely trampled over morals.

He looked so weird and honest …

Lu JinNian stared at the silver taels, not knowing what expression to make.

She only got one hundred and thirty taels …

The Crown Prince had spent three hundred silver on a thug …

F * ck that retard …

However, if he followed Lu JinNian's instructions, it would be like admitting that he went looking for someone to beat up Xiao Su. Even though that was the case, the fact that he gave away the money made him feel guilty, as if he had been caught red-handed by Lu JinNian.

The feeling of being caught in the tail wasn't good. Even if he knew that he didn't leave any concrete evidence, even if Lu JinNian told him about it, it wouldn't be able to threaten him. As the crown prince, he wouldn't lower his head so easily.

Therefore, he would rather take a more roundabout way to get his money than admit that he had done it himself and keep it a secret.

Unfortunately, Lu JinNian was someone who completely disregarded common sense. This time, not only was he forced to lower his head, but he also caused a ruckus that was known by the entire city …

Lu JinNian gave her 30 taels of silver to pay for the services of the little beggar that she found. The little beggar lived under the walls of the city, so he was good at such things as rolling around and throwing a tantrum.

After that, he took the remaining one hundred silver taels along with the three hundred silver taels he got from his second disciple to the Howling Tiger Martial School as compensation for damaging them. He also instructed Yi Qing to bring a message to the head.

After not resting for long at home, an eunuch who carried on a message from the palace came to the general's manor. When Madam Shen heard that it was from the palace, she thought hopefully that Lu Qingwan's marriage had turned around, but in the end, she came to find Lu JinNian.

After carefully inquiring, he realized that it was because Lu JinNian had caused trouble in front of the Crown Prince's Palace, and he was also pleasantly surprised. Although he didn't know why, since Lu JinNian had offended the Crown Prince and was sent to the palace, he definitely wouldn't get anything good out of it.

As he led the messenger into Lu JinNian's courtyard, he couldn't conceal his gloating expression.
