”To alleviate the worry in my heart? ”Hahaha …” Prime Minister Chu acted as if he had heard something funny: ”A mere little girl like you, with just you?”

”If Prime Minister looks down on Bai Zheng, then how about Bai Zheng makes a bet with Prime Minister?”

”What bet?”

”If Zheng can raise two hundred thousand silver taels for Prince within three days, Prime Minister will agree to Bai Zheng's rescission of the engagement, and at the same time, not make things difficult for my father.”

Feng Jingye laughed with interest: ”What if I can't do it?”

”What does Your Highness think?” Bai Zheng asked.

Feng Jingye looked at Prime Minister Chu, who stroked his beard and pondered for a while: ”If you are unable to do so, then kneel down and kowtow nine times from the west gate to the east gate, and shout out 'Bai Zheng has no eyes, and is slandering Chu Feng'.”

”You can't!” Bai Yinan shouted.

Without waiting for him to finish his sentence, Bai Zheng's clear ”Good” word had already sounded: ”Then today, we will slap our palms three times in front of the five s.”

Seeing Bai Zheng's confident look, Prime Minister Chu hesitated for a moment, but he shook his head. She was just a silly little girl, able to speak as fast as he wanted. Thinking of this, he raised his right hand.

Before Bai Yinan could block it, Bai Zheng's right palm had already struck forward.

”A single palm to bring glory to the sun and moon.” Bai Zheng said without hesitation.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Zheng's second palm also struck out.

”The second palm strike, the heaven and earth shall be the judge of this gamble.” Bai Zheng said as she struck out with her third palm, ”Third palm strike. If there is a violation, then your reputation will be ruined!”

Bai Zheng put her hand down, took two steps back, and bowed politely towards the crowd: ”Thank you, Your Highness, for your testimony, in three days, Bai Zheng will definitely present two hundred thousand silver.”

After saying that, he turned around, pulled Bai Yinan who was still standing there in a daze, not knowing what to do, and walked out of the General Mansion Hall without looking back.

In the carriage, Bai Yinan's refined and gentle face had a lot of worry. He looked at Bai Zheng for a long time and her mouth seemed to want to say something, but in the end, it turned into a long sigh.

Bai Zheng knew Bai Yinan was worried. Originally, in order to repay her three thousand gold, she had already planned a way to earn fast money.

She was not completely sure that she would be able to get two hundred thousand gold this time, but the one thing she was not lacking in Yongding City was the rich and dissolute young master, someone as noble as himself, who could probably fool more than half of them.

When the carriage passed by the bustling city streets, Bai Zheng suddenly shouted ”Stop!”, and saw Bai Yinan looking at him suspiciously, a cute smile surfaced on Bai Zheng's face. ”Daddy, your daughter is going to visit the Treasure-collecting Tower, you haven't rested since you came out of the justice court, go back to the residence now, mother and brothers must be worried too.”

Treasure-collecting Tower?

Bai Yinan was startled, so that was the reason.

This Treasure-collecting Tower was the largest auction house in the Yongding City, and every month at the age of fifteen, it would hold an auction for rare treasures.

Although the national treasury of the Great Zhou was empty, the Yongding City was the capital and all the officials and dignitaries of the Great Zhou were gathered there.
