Qin Ye asked such a question... now even Rong Jin looked at Hu Dao.
If he didn’t have any silver, wouldn’t that an Sister had to pay?
Faced with three pairs of burning gazes... Hu Dao felt imnse pressure.
His voice beca unstable as he spoke, "...Master, our silver notes... are gone, I have spent them on buying carriages and horses... only one tael left..."
By the end, he hung his head very low.
He dared not even breathe heavily, because even without looking up, he could feel his master’s terrifying gaze bearing down on him.
Qin Ye could hardly believe his own ears. When had he beco so poor?
He took a deep breath.
He tried his best to calm himself down.
Otherwise, he feared he might kick the man in front of him out...
"You go and contact the others..."
He had already made big claims; if he couldn’t produce the money... wouldn’t that be embarrassing?
Hu Dao’s head hung even lower, "Master, the money for the carriages and horses was pooled together by them."
Qin Ye: ...
Forget it, no need to even pick up his face from the ground.
Was there anything more absurd?
He didn’t dare look in Rong Yan’s direction.
It wasn’t over yet; Hu Dao didn’t keep his head down this ti. He urged, "Master, we need to leave quickly. If we delay any longer, we probably won’t be able to stop people."
Rong Yan: ...
Why did this statent sound so off to her?
No silver, so the promises to her... were they empty words?
Hmm, trying to pull a fast one on her?
Thinking of how well she had been fed and dicated over the past month.
And now... this man had no money?
She found it hard to believe she could have been so mistaken.
Qin Ye had already noticed the change in Rong Yan’s expression by now.
He hurriedly explained, "Yanyan, listen to ... I really do have money, I have a lot of money."
Hu Dao: ...
It sounded like a scam. So, his master was deceiving this young maiden?
Oh, the sin—He shouldn’t think of his master in such a way.
Rong Yan scoffed.
Qin Ye’s voice was full of panic, "Yanyan, I owe you that gold, and I will definitely give it to you, I truly have a lot of gold... co back with ... I promise I will give it to you..."
Hu Dao, having heard this, dropped his head even lower.
The poorest prince in history... didn’t Master have any idea?
Misfortune! Couldn’t you avoid deceiving a princess back ho just like that? Master, do you still have a conscience? Doesn’t it hurt?
Rong Yan glanced at the guard nad Hu Dao, seeing his appearance, she knew what was happening.
Her expression turned cold.
So... he wanted to deceive her out of money and beauty.
Rong Jin was also panicked!
This was her future brother-in-law whom she had hardly persuaded herself to accept... What if he was a fraud? What about the gold he owed Sister?
At that mont, a voice ca from outside.
"Rong, Rong Yan? Rong, Rong Jin?"
At this voice, everyone present turned to look.
When Qin Ye saw it was a young man, he couldn’t hide his jealousy, "Who are you? You shouldn’t be calling Miss Rong by her na?"
Outside, Li Yezhou stiffened at this man’s words... Who was this man? Why was he with the Rong siblings?
However, when his gaze fell back on Rong Yan’s face, he found it hard to look away.
He hadn’t expected the siblings, whom he thought were eaten by a tiger on the mountain, to appear here... Not only were they alive, but from the siblings’ complexion, it was clear they had lived quite well during this ti.
She had beco even prettier, absolutely captivating.
"Miss Rong... I was very worried about you..."
Qin Ye’s anger soared upon hearing those words.
What did he think he was to worry about?
He was just about to tell him to scram.
When his beloved spoke before him, colder and faster.
"Scram." Rong Yan’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was intensely cold.
This man who had annulled the engagent during the original owner’s most painful ti... he had no right to appear before him.
Li Yezhou’s face turned instantly pale.
And this sight brought Qin Ye imnse satisfaction.
He glared at Hu Dao with eyes sharp as knives, "What are you waiting for? Do you want to let this man sully Miss Rong’s eyes?"
Hu Dao’s expression turned fierce, and he imdiately turned around, drawing his sword and placing it on Li Yezhou’s left shoulder, "Scram."
Handling the inconsiderate with the aggression that befits a sword-bearing guard.
Li Yezhou, rely a scholar, had never seen such a thing.
His legs nearly gave way.
The cold blade was pressed against his neck... a bit deeper, and it would cut his skin.
"I... I’m leaving..."
He dodged the blade and quickly walked away.
Qin Ye watched this coward leave, scoffing coldly.
Then he turned his head and t his beloved’s cold yet beautiful dark eyes.
Dark and eerie, staring at him.
"Yanyan..."
Rong Yan looked at him expressionlessly, "Stop right there, who are you calling Yanyan? Is that sothing you should say? Mind the difference between n and won."
Qin Ye: ...
What difference?
We’ve been living together for half a month already, and you never ntioned any issues with that!
To him, living in the sa cave was no different from living in the sa house.
Though, after the first night... the curtains were always drawn.
But it was still the sa cave, wasn’t it?
Of course, he dared not say that out loud.
"Miss Rong, about that promissory note, I can explain, there’s definitely no falsehood..."
Rong Yan lifted her chin slightly, "Let’s not talk about that for now, tell how you plan to fulfill the brag you’ve made."
Qin Ye’s expression stiffened.
Hu Dao had already said there were no more silver notes or silver, so he definitely couldn’t produce that one thousand taels.
"Hu Dao, give the remaining silver."
Hu Dao imdiately took out that one tael and presented it with both hands.
Qin Ye glanced at him, then took the one tael of silver.
He said pleadingly to Rong Yan, "Miss Rong, please take this for now, for the rest... I’ll think of a way..."
Rong Yan: ...
Do I need your one or two taels?
She decisively grabbed the one tael of silver in her hand.
Looking up at Qin Ye, "Can you really gather one thousand taels?"
Qin Ye vowed earnestly, "Of course, I am..." He eventually didn’t voice the words "Prince."
He regretted it.
Had he known, he would have revealed his identity while on the mountain.
He mainly feared that if he revealed he was a prince, Rong Yan wouldn’t have accompanied him to Beijing.
Hu Dao: ...
Master, where are you going to gather one thousand taels? Don’t forget you can’t reveal your identity yet.
And rember, Prince Manor is utterly poor!
"Master, we need to leave quickly, getting a thousand taels right now is difficult, and we can’t go back to Beijing, we must head towards the border."
I might as well be the bearer of bad news!
Sure enough, as soon as he finished, he felt his master’s murderous gaze.
