She still lacked twenty thousand taels of silver. It wasn't that she couldn't earn that much, but it was just that tonight was too late.

If not, why not find Soong Yiqing now and sell him some good stuff?

Seeing Bai Zheng's expression, Feng Jingyi knew that she was in a difficult situation, so he said: ”I do not need the twenty thousand that Miss Su has sent over, Miss Bai, take it.”

Bai Zheng raised her head and hurriedly refused: ”No, you can't. Bai Zheng disturbed Your Highness for a long time, if not for Your Highness, my cousin would not have been so willing to offer twenty thousand gold just because of me. ”

Just as he was about to decline, another green-clothed servant walked in and whispered a few words to the steward.

The steward's face revealed a shocked expression. He solemnly sized Bai Zheng up a few times before finally taking another smaller gold spindle from the green-clothed servant.

”My boss said that the treasures that Miss Bai is auctioning can benefit tens of thousands of citizens, and furthermore, my Treasure-collecting Tower has brought about unprecedented popularity and fame. My boss thanks Miss Bai on behalf of all the scholars in the world, as well as for Treasure-collecting Tower.”

As she said that, she raised the gold spindle in her hand high and bowed, ”Today's profit, my Treasure-collecting Tower will not be taken. Please accept this, Miss Bai.”

Bai Zheng was surprised, her gaze swept over the steward and servants' bodies, lowered her eyes and thought for a moment, then smiled and received the gold ingot with her hands.

”No wonder Treasure-collecting Tower is so strong after three dynasties, it turns out that there is such a benevolent, righteous, and wise boss with long term eyes. I wonder if Boss would like to honor me, Bai Zheng wanted to personally pay her respects and thank you. ”

The manager had an amiable smile on his face as he said, ”I'll go ask the boss.” With that, he bowed and retreated step by step.

Bai Zheng looked at the gold ingots in her hands, one big and one small, no one had gotten up when the manager came in, no one knew what happened. But there were too many people who were interested in paper making. There would always be someone who would find out about it.

With two hundred thousand taels in his hands, he was afraid that he might get into trouble …

”Prince is still in the private room, right?” She thought for a moment before asking.

”Still here.” Feng Jingyi answered without thinking.

Feng Jingye never bothered to squeeze in with the commoners, he would wait for everyone on the first and second floor to leave before he would come out.

”I'll have to trouble Your Highness to lead me there.” Bai Zheng picked up the gold, pushed open the door and walked out.

Feng Jingyi quickly followed and brought her to the entrance of the room where the crown prince and Chu Feng were.

Bai Zheng said loudly: ”Prince, daughter of the Assistant Minister of the Department of Revenue, Bai Zheng, requests an audience.”

Hearing that, Chu Feng frowned, and spoke in disgust: ”What is she doing here again!”

However, a strange thought suddenly emerged in Feng Jingye's mind. He felt that it was incredible, but he also faintly felt that this thought was probably true. He immediately said, ”Come in.”

The door opened gently, a pair of light purple embroidered shoes lightly stepped over the threshold and arrived in front of Feng Jingye.

Bai Zheng lowered her body, raised the gold ingot above her head and said: ”This humble servant has agreed to Your Highness's two hundred thousand gold, please accept it, Your Highness.”

”F * ck!”

Feng Jingye immediately stood up from his chair.

He held out his hands, which trembled uncontrollably.
