The Cannon Fodder Female Supporting Character's Sickly Prince Strategy Manual

"I heard that Miss Yun wants to leave Beijing?"

In the Rare Treasure Pavilion, Yun Shang heard Ning Xue's question, narrowed her eyes, and said calmly, "I do have such a plan, Miss Ning, you got the news really quickly and well-informed."

Ning Xue smiled slightly, but there was not much sincerity in her eyes, and said: "Miss Yun, why did you want to leave Beijing? Life will be hard if you leave your hometown!"

Yun Shang also smiled back. That smile seemed relaxed, but it also revealed a bit of stubbornness. "Don't bother Miss Ning about this. I have always been a free and easy person. No matter where I am, I can live a carefree life and live a good life."

Ning Xue's expression did not change, and she continued, "Well, since you are leaving Beijing, I will have no choice but to shamelessly ask for something for Master Huo."

Yun Shang's heart tightened, but she remained calm. Ning Xue continued, "Didn't Mr. Huo buy a bracelet here last time? Miss Yun, since you have broken off the engagement with Mr. Huo, it is reasonable to return the gifts you gave each other."

Yun Shang couldn't help but laugh when she heard that. That bracelet was the only time she cheated Huo Beixuan into buying something, and now he wanted her to give it back. This was simply too much.

She looked at Ning Xue and said coldly, "Does Mr. Huo think the same way?"

Yunchang turned to look at Huo Beixuan, only to see that Huo Beixuan's face was full of bitterness. He naturally didn't want to ask for it back, and only wanted to regard it as a little compensation to Yunchang.

At this moment, he was filled with hatred towards Ning Xue. Did this woman drag him into Qizhen Pavilion just to humiliate her in front of Yun Shang?

"Miss Yun, you don't need to look at Mr. Huo. Now, we are discussing marriage. I am not happy, so he must listen to me."

Ning Xue's tone was a bit arrogant, and her condescending attitude made Yun Shang feel quite uncomfortable.

Thinking back to the beginning, Ning Xue tried her best to please Huo Beixuan, but now that she has got him, she is so arrogant and orders Huo Beixuan around.

Yun Shang sighed softly, suppressed her annoyance, and said, "I know about the bracelet that Miss Ning mentioned. I have already pawned it, and I have pawned it to death!"

"Pawned?" Ning Xue couldn't believe it. Her expression turned ugly instantly. She snorted coldly and asked, "Which pawnshop?"

Yun Shang looked at Liu Mei'er beside her. Liu Mei'er lowered her head and said, "Wang's Pawnshop was a permanent pawn shop, so there was no pawn ticket left."

Yun Shang spread her hands, looking helpless. "So, if you want me to pay for the bracelet, I can't do anything. After all, all the jewelry in Qizhen Pavilion is unique and there are no other pieces."

"But, if converted into silver, I can still pay!" Yun Shang's tone was as calm as water, "That bracelet, two hundred and fifty taels of silver."

When Ning Xue heard this, her face changed several times. She felt that if it was converted into cash, it would be like she was begging for money. This feeling made her very unhappy.

Before Ning Xue could speak, Yun Shang continued, "Since the engagement, I have given Huo Beixuan many things, big and small. These things can be regarded as the gifts we gave each other. I believe Miss Ning is also unhappy and cares a lot. However, some of the items are worn out. Mr. Huo may have gotten used to them. It's okay to return them to me. Miss Ning can just throw them away. But even if they are thrown away, I still owe you this favor."

"How about we cash it out! We can settle it with silver. Then, all the gifts and the affection we have for each other will disappear into thin air. What do you think, Miss Ning?"

Ning Xue felt bitter. Yes! Over the years, there must have been many gifts between them.

Seeing Ning Xue remained silent, Yun Shang continued, "Ms. Ning is shy and embarrassed to express her opinion. Then, I will make the decision. This is settled."

Yunchang asked the proprietress to bring an abacus, and holding it in her hand, she moved the beads as she spoke.

"For three consecutive years, I bought a new set of the four treasures of the study for Mr. Huo from Wenbaozhai. The total cost for three years was about three hundred taels of silver. I will calculate it based on three hundred taels of silver. The year before last, I bought Mr. Huo a blue crystal from the gold-inlaid hat in Qizhen Pavilion. It is the one he is wearing on his head now."

Everyone looked over and thought that this gem must be very expensive.

"This gem is worth two hundred taels, and the jade pendant I bought last year, which is the one Mr. Huo is wearing around his waist now, is worth one hundred and fifty taels."

"besides......"

Ning Xue could no longer hear what Yun Shang said. She only saw her mouth opening and closing. Huo Beixuan's face turned red, and both of them had burning sensation on their faces.

Yun Chang slapped the abacus with a clacking sound, as if she was slapping the two men's faces.

"These total 1,300 taels, minus the 250 taels for the bracelet. Miss Ning, do you want to pay with banknotes or something else?"

Yun Shang finally stopped calculating on the abacus and asked Ning Xue with a half-smile.

Ning Xue looked at Huo Beixuan in disbelief. Wasn't he a living gigolo? Huo Beixuan had actually spent so much of Yun Shang's money in the past two or three years. How difficult it must have been for the daughter of a fifth-rank official to collect so much money.

"Mr. Huo, only two hundred and fifty taels are deducted?"

Xiaoying knew that Ning Xue was very concerned about her reputation, so she had to ask.

"That's right, he only bought me one thing. I also paid for our meals out on weekdays, so forget about those."

Yunchang returned the abacus to the proprietress.

Ning Xue saw that more and more people were gathering around Qizhen Pavilion. She couldn't afford to lose face, so she quickly took out a silver note from her waist. This was the money she had just received and she had been planning to spend it at Qizhen Pavilion. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Yunchang's pocket.

Yun Shang took it with a smile and said jokingly, "Don't worry, Miss Ning. From now on, Mr. Huo and I really have nothing to do with each other. All the things on Mr. Huo were bought by Miss Ning. Miss Ning, there is no need to be angry."

"Of course, if Miss Ning still feels unhappy, it is feasible to discard them."

Yunshang suggested with a smile.

A burst of laughter came, "Ms. Ning, you are really generous. You are willing to spend a fortune for your lover. Even a famous playboy like me can't compare to you!"

The one who walked in gracefully, fanning himself, was none other than Shangguan Haoxuan, who was known as a dandy.

Huo Beixuan's face turned pale and blue. He endured the humiliation from Yun Shang. Who asked them to come and cause trouble for Yun Shang?

But being ridiculed by a dandy boy like this, as a scholar, he still had some temper.

Huo Beixuan shook his sleeves and walked straight out of Qizhen Pavilion without saying hello to Ning Xue.

Ning Xue was panicked, but she thought of what her father had said, that she couldn't just dote on Huo Beixuan, but had to keep a distance from him. Plus, she had just wasted 1,300 taels of silver in order to save face, but she still felt depressed and unhappy.

After thinking it over for a while, she finally resisted the urge to chase after him.

Ning Xue was very conflicted at this moment. On the one hand, she was worried that this would create a rift between her and Huo Beixuan, and on the other hand, she was angry at Huo Beixuan for embarrassing her so much.

She stood there, biting her lips, her eyes revealing mixed emotions.
