Chapter 153 - One Meter Distance
Yun Qianyu couldn’t help but frown at his words and, raising her eyebrows, she stared at Xiao Jiuyuan, “Well, I have successfully bid for the purple eyed phantom marten. Do you think the Xuantian Auction House is going to buy it back?”
“That’s your business. It has nothing to do with this Prince.”
Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu coldly with a faint smile on his face.
His expression clearly told Yun Qianyu that she would have to clean up her own mess.
Taken aback by his stern attitude, Yun Qianyu’s face darkened. Thinking about the consequences if Xiao Jiuyuan didn’t pay for it, Yun Qianyu realized that she would soon become the laughing stock of the entire Dongli state.
Thinking of this, Yun Qianyu straightened up her back and said to Xiao Jiuyuan.
“Your Highness Li Prince, I am using my own money to bid for the purple eyed phantom marten. If you don’t let me buy it, I will tell others that it’s not that I have no money to pay for it, but that my money has been taken away by your Highness. That’s the only reason why I couldn’t afford it.”
If so, the person losing face would be Xiao Jiuyuan and not her.
However, as soon as Yun Qianyu said that, anger filled Xiao Jiuyuan’s eyes as he chuckled menacingly “Are you threatening this Prince?”
Xiao Jiuyuan said this with a hint of killing intent.
From behind them in the room, Xiao Yechen saw this and quickly went to Xiao Jiuyuan to calm him down.
“Ninth imperial uncle, calm down, calm down. There’s no way Feather would threaten you. She is just afraid of losing face. Also, if she loses face then it would also negatively affect Ninth imperial uncle. After all, she is your fiancee now.”
Xiao Jiuyuan actually listened to Xiao Yechen’s words this time around.
‘Indeed, Yun Qianyu is my future princess consort. If she loses face, I will also lose face.’
Thinking about that, Xiao Jiuyuan looked at Yun Qianyu and said, “This Prince didn’t think that you would be an irrational fool, spending seven hundred thousand Liang silver on a spirit beast just to release it.”
Feeling the pain of spending so much money on something pointless, Yun Qianyu did feel a little depressed about it. However, when she thought of the stubborn and unyielding look on the purple eyed phantom marten, she couldn’t help but relate to its situation.
‘No, I don’t regret my situation. I just want to help it!’
“I don’t regret it.”
“Good that you say that. However, if my memory serves me right, you lack funds to purchase the spirit beast. How do you plan to pay for it?”
He then slowly explained, “Previously, this Prince gave you two thousand Liang silver, and later spent five thousand Liang silver on clothes, twenty thousand Liang silver on jewelry, and fifty thousand Liang silver on the Essence Cleansing pill. So that leaves you with six hundred ninety-one thousand Liang silver. Now the purple eyed phantom marten is seven hundred thousand Liang silver, so how are you going to make up the difference of nine thousand Liang silver?”
After that long explanation, Yun Qianyu was dumbfounded.
Thinking about it hard, Yun Qianyu ultimately looked up to Xiao Jiuyuan, thinking whether to borrow nine thousand Liang silver from him and return it on a later date.
But as soon as she looked up, Xiao Jiuyuan knew what she had in mind and immediately said with a flat voice, “This Prince does not lend money to others.”
As soon as Xiao Jiuyuan finished speaking, Xiao Yechen said, “Nine thousand Liang silver? Feather, I’ll lend you the money.”
Hearing this, Yun Qianyu immediately became happy and turned to Xiao Yechen with a look of gratitude, “Thank you Xiao Yechen.”
After saying that, Yun Qianyu looked up at Xiao Jiuyuan with an indifferent look on her face. She slowly stretched out her hand and pushed away Xiao Jiuyuan’s hand that was blocking her path. Then she gently reminded Xiao Jiuyuan, “A-hem, your Highness, please keep the one-meter distance.”
Xiao Jiuyuan’s face darkened immediately, and he looked at Yun Qianyu with surprise. ‘You’re telling me to keep my distance from you? That’s my line! When did she become so arrogant?’
