They were the only ones left in the main hall, a man and a woman, and Prince Wang didn't seem to be used to it.

He moved his hands and feet stiffly, looked straight ahead, and continued:

"He's probably just shy."

shy?

Only he could say such words.

Zhi Zheng was not shy at all; he was just embarrassed by the two of them's questions and was finally scared away.

With a "puff", Wen Meijiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Hearing Wen Meijiu's laughter, Prince Wang glanced at her slightly.

When she laughed, her face was white with a slight blush. It was neither the hearty laughter of a fierce woman nor the delicate humming of a little woman. It was quite pleasant to the ears.

Although he didn't look at her directly, Wen Meijiu noticed his gaze and quickly stopped laughing.

Prince Wang also retracted his gaze at the right time, slightly turned sideways, sat upright on the chair, and said lightly:

"Your father is a respectable man. He didn't want outsiders to gossip about him, so he took the initiative to sign the agreement."

Of course Wen Meijiu knew that her mother had already told her, but that was not a reason for him not to return the receipt to her.

However, since he took the initiative to bring up this matter, Wen Meijiu was not so worried anymore. He should think about returning the receipt to her.

"so what?"

Wen Meijiu spoke with a gentle smile, without any previous hostility.

Prince Wang raised his arm slightly on the table, then put it down again, his eyelashes drooped slightly, staring at his arm and said:

"So, you're planning on going back just like that?"

His question made Wen Meijiu stunned.

What does he mean?

If she doesn't want it back this way, does she have to give him something in order to get it back?

Wen Meijiu pondered over his words, paced back and forth on the ground thoughtfully, then turned around and looked at him.

She was a little angry just now, but she didn't think too deeply about it. She just thought that neither the county magistrate nor Manager Tong asked Young Master Wang for money, so it was unfair for her family to pay this money.

Now that I've calmed down and thought about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be anything that makes sense.

This Suo Huan did not spend any money, but he got it in exchange for the other party's status as a prince, and he did it out of respect for the other party.

If the one hundred and ten taels of silver weren't too expensive, Wen Meijiu wouldn't have wanted to haggle with him and would have just paid for it himself.

"Then, if I add another twenty-five taels of silver, will that be enough to get back my father's receipt?"

To be honest, if Prince Wang hadn't been there, she would definitely have paid attention to the prices if she ordered the dishes herself.

When you invite someone to dinner, everyone tailors the meal to their needs. You can’t go bankrupt just for the sake of others, right?

It would be great if Prince Wang went there. He would select all the dishes, and they would surely be more expensive than the last.

Anyway, he didn't spend any money, so he didn't suffer any loss. She gave him an additional thirty or forty taels of silver according to her original budget, so he made a profit.

My mother had already given Master Wang five taels of silver, and adding twenty-five taels of silver, it would be exactly thirty taels of silver.

Wen Meijiu left herself some wiggle room. If he didn't agree, she would raise the price to forty taels at most, no more.

He stretched out his fingers with both hands to gesture, fearing that he had not explained it clearly enough, or that Prince Wang did not see it clearly enough, so that they would have an argument over the amount of money.

Who knew that Prince Wang was stunned at first, then looked at her fingers and sneered.

One of his hands moved to his waist, where he held a metal shell he had picked up while stalking Wen Meijiu.

When Wen Meijiu ran out of Qingfeng Tower, he caught up with her in time and secretly followed her.

Seeing Wen Meijiu disguised herself and mixed with some soldiers who were transporting grain, he was afraid that she would be discovered and in danger. It was not until he saw Wen Meijiu injuring two fierce victims with an extremely small black lump in her hand and leading the grain transport team away that he picked up the metal shell and returned to Qingfeng Tower.
