The inner voice was overheard, and the whole court was eating melons together

After a pause, Song Yaoyao continued:

"But please be quick. I'm not very patient. I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it.

If you haven't made a choice after a quarter of an hour, I'll assume you prefer money to life!"

"you……"

"Duke Qi, please stop using the word 'your'. You've already said it too much today.

You should think about your choice quickly!"

Mrs. Qi sat aside and didn't say anything at all.

Princess Jiahe's aura was too strong, and she couldn't get a word in at all.

That's 20 taels of silver, she feels bad too!

But isn't this all the master's fault? Couldn't he have done things more cleanly, leaving behind such a big handle?

In the past, they only knew that Princess Jiahe was powerful, but they really didn’t know how powerful she was!

Today, she finally saw it!

Madam Qi looked at Song Qingyu and Yuan Jibai. They were both seriously injured. No wonder Princess Jiahe was so angry!

She would also be angry if someone beat the person she cared about the most like this.

Now Princess Jiahe has given them two choices, between money and life, is there any need to choose?

But it seems that Duke Qi is still thinking. This guy really has a problem with his brain. Does he need to make a choice in such a matter?

No wonder she could give birth to a son like Qi Baixun!

After Mrs. Qi finished complaining, she had to step forward and persuade him:

"Master, do you still need to make a choice in this matter?

Wouldn't it be enough to just give Princess Jiahe 20 taels of silver?

Master, losing money can ward off disasters!"

Duke Qi came closer and whispered:

“I also know how to choose?

But there was simply not that much money in the account.

Madam, how about you take out some of your dowry first and we can all pool our money together? What do you think?"

Madam Qi refused directly:

“No matter what!

My dowry is to be left to my son, no one can touch those things!

If you don’t have money in your account, you can use something to pay for it, farms or shops are all fine!

If it really doesn't work, don't you still have a private vault? Can't you just use the money in your private vault?"

"you……

I'm just borrowing it from you, I'm not asking for it for free!"

“That won’t work either!

If anyone dares to take my dowry, I will fight him to the death!

You have your own private vault, why don’t you use your money?

You can also borrow it first and pay it back when you have it later!

The methods have been given to you. Master, please don't let Princess Jiahe wait too long!"

After saying this, Mrs. Qi stopped talking. She sat back in her seat, picked up the tea on the table next to her and started drinking!

Seeing this, Duke Qi was shaking with anger!

He finally realized that no one in the Duke's Mansion was worry-free, so it seemed that he could only rely on himself!

Duke Qi thought for a moment and said to Song Yaoyao:

"Princess Jiahe, I agree to pay compensation in silver.

But 20 taels of silver is really too much. We don’t have that much silver in the mansion. Can it be less?

"Duke Qi, I gave you a fair price.

It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can use farms and shops to pay for it!"

"Is it really not possible to have less?"

"You have to know that this is the money to buy your life, how can this be so little?"

"Okay, wait a minute. I'll go check the accounts and be back in a bit."

"Go ahead and give us some snacks. I'm hungry after all this time!"

"you……

Someone bring some freshly made snacks."

"Yes."

After giving instructions to his servants, Duke Qi turned around and left!

At this moment, Duke Qi was also extremely regretful. This time he had lost both the wife and the army, which was a huge loss!

……

Soon, the snacks were served!

Song Yaoyao warned again:

"Go, and bring us some more hot tea. I want your master's best tea."

"This……"

"What? I'm a princess, and I can't drink good tea?"

"No, no, I'll go change now..."

Soon, the servants changed the tea for Song Yaoyao and the others.

Song Yaoyao greeted everyone:

"The snacks at this Duke's Mansion are really good, different from those at our Marquis' Mansion. Everyone, eat more!"

Song Qingyu and the others didn't hesitate and started eating.

They were indeed tired and thirsty after being chased for so long!

Song Yaoyao didn't forget Song Yi and the others, and brought them two plates of snacks to fill their stomachs!

Song Yaoyao and the others were eating and drinking, which made Mrs. Qi's mouth twitch!

Princess Jiahe doesn't consider herself an outsider at all!

Half an hour later, Duke Qi came back with 16 taels of silver, and the remaining 4 taels of silver were to be used to pay for his farms and shops.

……

Another quarter of an hour passed, and Song Yaoyao took the silver bills, land deeds, and shop deeds and prepared to leave!

Duke Qi called out to Song Yaoyao:

"Princess Jiahe, please stay!"

Song Yaoyao turned around and asked:

"Duke Qi, what's wrong?"

"Now that the silver has been compensated, Princess Jiahe, can you return the waist badge to us?"

Song Yaoyao took out the waist badge from the space under the cover of her sleeve pocket and said:

“I’m a very particular person!

I can return the badge to you!

I'll pay the money this time, and let's forget about it!

If my eldest brother and his men are assassinated again next time, no matter whether it was done by your Duke's Mansion or not, I will hold it accountable to you, Duke Qi.

Next time, I won’t be so easy to talk to. This problem can’t be solved with money!

Duke Qi, you'd better pray that my brother and the others are okay, otherwise your Duke's Mansion will disappear!

I do what I say! "

After Song Yaoyao said this, she threw the badge away.

Duke Qi reached out and took the badge.

Song Yaoyao turned around and walked away. She waved her hand and said:

"Duke Qi, please stay. We'll be heading back now!"

Song Qingyu and the others followed immediately!

As soon as Song Yaoyao and the others left, Duke Qi's face immediately fell and he cursed:

"How arrogant! How lawless!

This time, half of the Duke's fortune was taken away. My heart aches..."

Madam Qi put down her teacup and said:

“Who can be blamed for this?

Isn’t this the master’s fault?

Who told you to be so careless and leave such a big handle?"

Duke Qi stared at the badge in his hand and looked at it carefully. After a moment, he said:

"This is indeed the badge of our Duke's Mansion. These idiots, I've repeatedly warned you not to carry badges or anything like that when you go out on a mission, as it's easy for the other party to catch you!

Some people just pretend to obey but actually disobey. Damn it!"

"Master, are you just going to let Princess Jiahe and the others go like this?"

"if not?

Can you afford to offend her?

Didn't you hear what she said? As long as anything happens to Song Qingyu and Yuan Jibai, no matter whether it was done by our Duke's Mansion or not, she will blame us for it.

Do you think we're not dying fast enough?"

"I'm just asking!"

“Let’s leave it at that!

We'll just swallow this loss!

Warn the people in the mansion that they should take a detour when they see anyone from the Marquis' Mansion in the future.

Especially that evil star, Princess Jiahe!"

"Yes!"
