Chapter 327 (2/2)

Damn, could this ninth prince be reasonable just once?

Who knew if Xuan Tian Ming knew how to read minds, as he looked at the expressions of everyone in the family and actually said: “Do you feel that this prince is being unreasonable?”

The Feng family’s members all shook their heads, with none daring to reply. Feng Yu Heng, however, spoke up: “How could that be. Under the heavens, who doesn’t know that his Highness the ninth prince is the most reasonable person.”

Really?

The members of the Feng family looked at each other. To say that Xuan Tian Ming was reasonable, was that not the worst argument in the world? Ever since this prince had been born, had he ever even remotely been reasonable? It was not just him. It was also his imperial concubine mother and his future wife, Feng Yu Heng. When had any of them ever been reasonable?

Kang Yi stared at Feng Yu Heng and felt that these two really were a suitable couple. Their ability to spout nonsense with a straight face was completely unrivaled in this world.

“Then your Highness means to say…” Kang Yi did not want to go around in circles. Either way, this matter could not be resolved. It would be better to have him say something positive.

Kang Yi was ready to take a risk, but the members of the Feng family were scared! What if he wanted to whip every member of the Feng family once? What could they do?

Just as everyone in the family was trembling, Xuan Tian Ming turned his wheelchair and moved to Feng Yu Heng’s side. Very arrogantly, he took her from the matriarch’s hands and grabbed her small hands. He then finally spoke up: “This prince did not have any intentions. The girl that caused Heng Heng’s anger probably cannot endure this prince whipping her, so this prince will forgive her for now.”

Upon hearing this, Kang Yi’s eyes light up. Without saying another word, she kowtowed, “Many thanks, your Highness, for the grace of pardoning her life.”

“Un.” Xuan Tian Ming accepted her kowtow very naturally; however, he then said: “But, even if she has been spared the death penalty, her living punishment cannot be pardoned!”

Kang Yi was startled, “Living punishment?”

“That’s right.” Xuan Tian Ming raised his voice. The lazy tone that he had been using disappeared slightly. The members of the Feng family then heard him say very shamelessly: “Our Heng Heng is pampered and valuable. Getting angry is not a small matter. If she were to fall ill, her vitality would become ruined. If her vitality is ruined, it would require an extremely high-quality medicine to help her recover. This prince usually does not even dare to offend her and will do everything according to her desires. I give way to her every time, and when I hold her, I fear that I will hurt her. Father Emperor also favors her, fearing that she would be bullied by others given her weak constitution. That was why he conferred her the title of county princess Ji An, thinking that in any case, she could use it to scare people, but who knew that there would still be people who would not take it to heart.”

He just spoke for himself, causing the members of the Feng family to break into a cold sweat.

Feng Yu Heng was weak? She would be bullied by others?

Ninth prince, will you die if you don’t spout nonsense?

It would be good enough if she did not bully others, alright?

Of course, this was only what they thought to themselves. They absolutely would not dare to say it out loud. Not only did they not dare to say it, they had to put on a very agreeable appearance. They had to stand in place and nod, carefully waiting for Xuan Tian Ming to continue.

Xuan Tian Ming looked around then said: “The reason this prince said so much is to tell madam, the cost of our Heng Heng falling ill once is quite high.”

“Cost?” Kang Yi was puzzled. Thinking a little more, she carefully asked: “Is your Highness talking… about money?”

“Smart!” Xuan Tian Ming nodded, “Let me say it like this, in the end, you were originally guests. It would not be good for our Da Shun to remain unrelenting over a single mistake, right? That’s why the mistake will be paid for with money. It will be enough to pay for the supplements that Heng Heng will be taking.”

Kang Yi let out a long sigh of relief along with everyone else in the Feng family. Being able to use money to solve an issue was not a problem. This time, the ninth prince was truly being graceful!

Kang Yi very generously said: “We accept the punishment. Would your Highness please tell us the cost.”

Xuan Tian Ming counted on Feng Yu Heng’s fingers until he counted to five “Five million taels.”

The members of the Feng family all began sweating. Even if one were to eat medicine made of silver, it would not be that expensive, right?

Kang Yi’s heart also trembled for a while. When they demanded this much, it was definitely a scam. But even if it was a scam, what could be done? He was clearly trying to scam them, but what could she do? She could only suffer in silence. Unable to speak of her suffering, she could only grit her teeth and say: “All right, this humble woman accepts the punishment.”

“Un.” Xuan Tian Ming nodded then added: “Five million taels of gold.”

The members of the Feng family collectively collapsed.

TN: Tael is a unit of measurement for mass, usually silver. That is why shattered silver can be used to pay for things.
