Chapter 140 Run
When Duke Anguo heard this, he narrowed his eyes slightly.
He looked at Liu Rumei, who was smiling like a flower in front of him, and there was sarcasm in her eyes towards him.
This girl is so brave.
She did have some skills, and was able to convince Xiangguo Temple not to give her face in front of so many people!
Others are in awe of Master Wuyou, but Duke Anguo doesn't have that idea. He is just a monk.
He didn't expect that Master Wuyou would dare to plot against him together with Liu Rumei, causing him to lose face so much.
Duke Anguo was indeed an old fox. Even when things came to this, he did not turn hostile but smiled coldly.
"The girl is really smart. She only got one or two more lotus seeds than me, but she still got the lotus seeds."
Liu Rumei nodded and said rather shamelessly: "I don't deserve the praise from the Duke. I just thought that the Duke would not dare to anger the Lin family and the Yang family.
Besides, the Xie family is not wealthy enough to spend money on outsiders. Eighty thousand taels should be your limit.
Of course...if I guessed wrong, and the Duke is a generous man who is really willing to spend 90,000 taels, then I will admit defeat and can only say that I misjudged your character."
Everyone:...
If the situation just now was just tense, then now it's a slap in the face!
This girl is cursing people without using any swear words.
She used one or two taels of silver to scold the entire Xie family.
To curry favor with the powerful, to bully the weak and fear the strong, to be stingy and miserly...this is really cruel.
This girl is very brave, but I don’t know if Lord Liu is so brave. Does he know that his eldest daughter is offending people outside?
However, the Emperor has confined the Marquis to his home, so he probably cannot go out and has no idea what is happening outside.
Duke Anguo's face turned completely dark and he stared at Liu Rumei angrily.
Now he finally understood why his daughter was determined to deal with this woman.
This woman is so hateful, she should just shut her mouth!
She is just so bitter and mean, a villain!
"Humph, you are very eloquent, but unfortunately you are sarcastic and mean. No wonder no one dares to marry you!"
When Liu Rumei heard this, there was still a smile between her eyebrows.
"Your Excellency the Duke is not a sharp-tongued person, but you are so old, yet you are still talking about the marriage of a little girl like me. You are wasting this noble title. It is true that one cannot trust a person's reputation completely. It is not worthy of the reputation."
Everyone: ...Although the words are rough, the logic is sound, but what you said is really rough!
Duke Anguo was so angry that he wanted to jump up and hit someone, but Liu Rumei was with the female relatives, so he really couldn't do anything.
The female members of the family were also in an uproar, and some even sided with Liu Rumei.
"What's wrong with this old duke? Is he really confused because of his age? He actually ruined a girl's reputation like this!"
"Alas, the Duke is a vulgar man. Just look at his children and you will know!"
"Yes, did you hear..."
The topic soon went off topic and the focus of discussion shifted to the marriage of the Xie family's children.
The eldest daughter of the Xie family was beaten in the street, and then she pushed her brother out to take the blame. Who would dare to marry such a girl?
Although everyone thought Xie Linfeng was a good candidate for a son-in-law, the second son and the eldest daughter of the Xie family were really not good enough.
Now there is an old Duke who is confused, ignorant of etiquette, overbearing and vulgar. It will be difficult to get a marriage certificate for the eldest son of the Xie family.
When Duke Anguo heard the discussions from the other side, he knew that something was wrong. He looked at Liu Rumei's smug smile and felt even more heartbroken.
It’s over, I’ve fallen into a trap!
His arrogance has become a habit over the years, and no one dares to disobey him like this.
He lost face in front of so many people today and couldn't control himself for a moment, which made people laugh at him.
Therefore, Duke Anguo hurriedly said, "Girl, you don't have to deliberately provoke me. At my age, I naturally won't bother with you."
Liu Rumei nodded, and then asked in a bit of fear: "The Duke is not going to bother with a junior like me, so is he going to bother with my father?"
Duke Anguo: ...I didn’t mean that!
"What a pity, my father can't go out now, otherwise I would definitely ask him to come and apologize!
I had no intention of offending the Duke's Mansion. After all, you are highly respected and hold a high position, and my Jingning Marquis Mansion cannot afford to offend you.
Please don't be angry, Duke. I offer this golden lotus seed to you with both hands. Please forgive my Liu family and my father!"
Everyone:...
Although I really want to sympathize with you, girl, your acting is too bad!
Why don’t you cry? Why are you laughing so stimulatingly?
Duke Anguo was furious, and more people began to stand on Liu Rumei's side.
"Bah! How shameless!"
"That's right. He spent so much money, but in the end he still has to give it to him!"
"Is this Duke's Mansion so shameless? I really saw it today!"
Duke Anguo felt pain in his heart. Although he was physically strong, he was old after all. Being so angry was unprecedented!
"You! You are simply..."
"Is the Duke still not satisfied? How about I ask my father to come and apologize?"
Liu Rumei was very sincere. After all, it was Liu Hanjun who was kneeling and kowtowed, not her, so there was no need to make things difficult!
"No need! I don't care about these things!"
Liu Rumei nodded, looking doubtful.
"You paid out 80,000 taels, but got nothing. Don't you feel aggrieved and uncomfortable? That's 80,000 taels. Don't you feel bad?"
“I don’t feel bad!”
Even if I'm heartbroken, I can't admit it.
"I see! It turns out that I am short-sighted. I guess the Xie family doesn't care about money. The Duke does good deeds without asking for anything in return. It is really admirable.
In that case, why not round it up to an integer? Eighty thousand taels sounds unlucky, two hundred thousand taels would be more sincere!"
Everyone: ...Is this how you round up the numbers?
Even if we want to collect it, it can’t be 200,000 taels!
"Well, shouldn't it be 100,000 taels?"
"You are focusing on the wrong thing! The point now is that she wants to cheat the Duke's Mansion out of 120,000 taels!"
Oh, right.
This Miss Liu is really bold!
This is to ask the Xie family to take out another 120,000 taels of silver!
Not to mention the Xie family, the heads of other families all covered their hearts.
It hurts, it really hurts!
"Amitabha, good, good!"
Everyone looked at Master Wangyou and said, you did this on purpose, you must have done this on purpose!
Just now you didn't say anything when people were arguing, but now that they want to give you money, you immediately say nice things!
Come on, the Xie family suffered a big loss today.
Duke Anguo didn't want to give any money, not at all!
He gave the eighty thousand taels willingly, so he just had to accept the loss.
Now I am being forced to pay you! Why?
Even if he took out 120,000 taels now, people would not think he was a good man, but a fool instead!
But I have to give it. Not giving it would be unkind and unjust, and I would be stingy!
good very good!
He finally remembered this girl!
"Two hundred thousand taels is too much. Not to mention our country's palace, no one else can afford it!"
Duke Anguo thought for a long time, but this was the only excuse he could come up with.
He gritted his teeth and gave these eighty thousand taels; he didn't have that much money!
"Really? Two hundred thousand taels is too much? How about one hundred thousand taels?"
Everyone: ...You are a very nice person.
Duke Anguo: ...Thank you!
