Chapter 15 – The Lucky Prodigal Son (2/2)

However, after the emperor called out for the little prodigal son, everyone started to somewhat understand the situation. Could it be that……

“Emperor, do you have something?” After the little prodigal son was pulled over by Tigress, he asked straightforwardly.

“Little Ye Lang, did you buy a strange box at the auction house today?” The emperor asked while slightly smiling.

“Oh, I have. It was purchased with 100,000 gold coins.” The little prodigal son replied.

“Then do you know what is placed inside the box?” The emperor asked, trying to probe him out.

“Don’t know.” The little prodigal son shook his head.

“It was indeed like this. Since you didn’t know what was inside the box, why did you still buy it?” The emperor asked while feeling somewhat puzzled.

“Because I want to be prodigal.” The little prodigal son explained righteously.

“……”

The members of Ye Family, whether it was the older generation or the younger generation, all held on their forehead with their hand, expressing out an extreme kind of helplessness. They had all guessed that it would be an answer like this.

“He’s this wasteful, why don’t you guys prevent it a bit? Don’t tell me that your Ye Family just has that much money?” Grand Marshal Li said. He had somewhat heard before about this Ye Family’s little prodigal son, but only today did he know that it was to this degree of prodigalness. [Yes, that word exists, wikipedia said so!]

“You think that we don’t want to? It’s just that he likes to be prodigal, we also have no choice. Furthermore, within the things he buys, there would often be odd and bizarre goods whose worthwas hard for one to even imagine.” Ye Cheng Tian said somewhat strangely.

That’s right, if it were not for this little prodigal son buying some extremely uncommon valuable objects from time to time, the members of the Ye Family would probably not have allowed him to squander money recklessly. At the least, they would control the amount he squandered, and at the most let him squander only 100,000 gold coins every month.

But, is this called controlling?

“That’s right, I know about this matter too. He seems to have been looked after by the goddess of luck ever since he was little. Take this time for example, he used 100,000 gold coins to buy this box, the worth of which far surpassed the amount he had spent for it. Even if he had spent 1,000,000 for it, it would also have been counted as cheap.” The emperor said.

“Could it be that Ban’s alchemy notebook is within the box? Little Ye Lang, quickly let your Grandfather Li take a look at the box you bought.” Grand Marshal Li said.

“Alright, but……who is Grandfather Li? The little prodigal son nodded his head, but afterwards found out that he seemed to not know who Grandfather Li was.

“……”

“Pfft……”

The people at the side let out a light laugh and then immediately feigned solemnity. Their expression completely denying that he or she had just laughed. And within those people, the emperor seemed to be one of them too.

“Son, your Grandfather Li is him. You had seen him before when you were still young.” Long An Qi resisted laughing and knocked onto the little prodigal son’s head.

“When?” The little prodigal son seemed to still be unable to recall it.

“When you were a month old.”

“Oh……”

“……”
