Chapter 260: Fang Zhengzhi’s problem
Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations
”10,000 silvers... for one night?!” Ping Yang could not believe her ears. Chi Guyan was the most intelligent person she knew.
When did Chi Guyan ever do anything stupid?
However, Chi Guyan was clearly doing something stupid right now.
How could this delapidated house be worth 10,000 silvers a night? Then wouldn’t her residence be worth millions a night? 10,000 silvers would be more than sufficient to buy the entire village.
”Do you think money can buy you everything?” Fang Zhengzhi replied apathetically.
”15,000.” Chi Guyan made a counter offer.
”Mom, lay out a mattress for this lady! I want to see how long she can stay here!” Fang Zhengzhi turned and entered the house.
Ping Yang was stunned.
Where did his pride and determination go to? Didn’t he say money could not buy everything? Why did he change his mind? He did not change at all! He was still as shameless.
Fang Zhengzhi would never reject a large offer of silver!
He turned and entered the house.
Qin Xuelian was still recovering from what just happened.
Fang Zhengzhi had become a celebrity in the village ever since he killed the Blue Fire Wolf on Cang Ling Mountain. In the years after that, his name reverberated throughout all the nearby villages.
Many people had came to the Fang Family asking for an engagement.
Qin Xuelian had never agreed to any of them.
Her son was meant for great things. He was meant to go to the major cities one day! How could any of these girls be a match for him?
However, Qin Xuelian had taken a liking to Chi Guyan ever since she saw her. She was knowledgeable and carried herself well.
Ever since that time, Qin Xuelian had wanted Chi Guyan to be her daughter in law.
Why would her otherwise intelligent son do something so stupid today?
This lady was not just a lady from a rich and influential family. She was the daughter of the Divine Constabulary, the top talent in the Great Xia Dynasty. All of the princes and princesses had to treat her with respect.
She had countless admirers.
Why would her son turn down such a great girl?
More importantly...
Chi Guyan was not angered by it! She even offered to pay a large amount of silver! What was going on? Is she really in love with Fang Zhengzhi?”
”It is our honor to host the princess. Please stay as many days as you like! Don’t mention anything about the silvers. Both of you, please come in!” Qin Xuelian disregarded Fang Zhengzhi’s wishes completely.
As a mother, she had to make a decision on the spot.
Even though the chances of anything materializing were low, she would still give it a go.
As long as there was a sliver of hope, she would try.
”Thank you auntie!” Chi Guyan smiled, then held Qin Xuelian’s arm. She glanced at the unhappy Ping Yang and walked leisurely through the door.
”Son, go grill some meat! The princess loves it!” Qin Xuelian was ecstatic when Chi Guyan held her arm.
She had completely forgotten about the troubles of the day.
To be supported by the pride of the Northern five constabularies, the daughter of the Divine Constabulary was something that she did not even dare dream about.
”If she wants to eat, she can do it herself!” Fang Zhengzhi said dismissively.
”What is with that attitude. Your mom told you to go grill some meat. Grill more and send some to Uncle Yangping. He is injured and needs the meat!” Fang Houde bellowed when he heard Zhengzhi’s reply.
Are you becoming rebellious?
Ping Yang smiled when she heard this, ”Uncle, auntie, I like grilled rabbit!”
”Son, did you hear that, grill two green furred rabbits!” Fang Houde chuckled, then hollered to the unhappy Fang Zhengzhi.
”Dad, Mom, I have a question for you.” Fang Zhengzhi’s voice came floating out of the kitchen.
”What is it?”
”Am I your son?”
”Bloody hell! If you don’t do it now, I will break your legs!”
”That’s great! Uncle, do it now, I have the medicine to help him recover! This is a medicine specially made for the royal family! It can heal broken bones!” Ping Yang continued to add fuel to the flames as she waved a white jade bottle in the air.
Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian looked at each other. They were at a loss. Was this really a princess?
Should we act on it?
Just as Fang Houde and Qin Xuelian were at a loss, a figure rushed out from inside the house. It brushed past Ping Yang like a gust of wind.
”Not bad at all!”
Before Ping Yang could react, the white jade bottle had been snatched by Fang Zhengzhi. Then, he kept it in his pocket.
Before she could chide him...
Fang Zhengzhi shot out the door, ”I’m going to grill the meat!”
Ping Yang was not going to let Fang Zhengzhi off so easily. Just as she prepared to give chase, Chi Guyan held her back.
”The meat he grills is the best thing in the entire Northern Mountain Village.”
Ping Yang looked at Chi Guyan in disbelief. However, she was famished and tired of eating rations. She had no choice but to swallow her pride.
”Humph! I will settle the score with you after you’re done grilling the meet!” Ping Yang stomped her feet as she watched Fang Zhengzhi leave.
...
The meal was quite enjoyable.
Ping Yang’s eyes glimmered when she saw the spread. She looked like a ravenous wolf salivating at a herd of lamb.
She threw her royal demeanor away.
She began to take in large chunks of meat and drank wine by the bowls. Her mouth was stained with grease. Despite her petite size, she managed to finish an entire rabbit and a leg of lamb!
As night fell, a familiar calm returned to the Northern Mountain Village. The moon shone brightly in the sky, lighting up the courtyard of the house.
Fang Zhengzhi lay on the bench in the courtyard, enjoying the peace. He had a plate of melon seeds and a flask of fruit wine by his side.
A figure appeared in the courtyard. Under the light of the moon, a shadow of her petite and shapely body was cast on the ground. She wore a pink dress, looking like a blooming flower in the night.
Chi Guyan had changed out of her disguise.
She stopped to Fang Zhengzhi’s right. However, she did not speak, choosing to stand quietly by his side.
Anyone who saw this scene would not believe their eyes. A villager lying on his side whilst the treasured daughter of the Divine Constabulary stood by his side.
But this was the scene in a courtyard inside the Northern Mountain Village.
Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes were closed, almost as if he did not see Chi Guyan arrive. He reached for the fruit wine and took a gulp.
Chi Guyan watched as Fang Zhengzhi put the flask back down.
She extended her hand and the flask flew into her hands. Then, shockingly, she also took a sip of the wine.
Afterwards, she put the flask back in its original position.
Fang Zhengzhi’s eyes twitched but he did not open them. He rolled and switched to an even more comfortable position.
