General Qiu was not only spouting words at him, he could definitely do it. Ji Yunkai was absolutely sure of this.
This man was just like Madam Qiu, selfish and merciless. He probably only had his mother in his eyes, just like Madam Qiu only had silver in her eyes.
In this world, how many women were unable to control their fate in their own hands?
"Is this what you meant by 'save'? Using her life as a threat? " Ji Yunkai sneered.
Not only was this man cold and heartless, he was also extremely shameless. She had really never seen a man like General Qiu.
"You won't watch her die, will you?" This was something General Qiu was sure of, so he had no qualms about it.
"You will regret it." With Old Madam Qiu's value of silver, she could imagine how chaotic the Qiu family would be after this.
Of course, she could imagine how annoying she would be.
Old Madam Qiu was not a reasonable person. Even if she lost money, she would definitely find trouble with her. However, would she be afraid?
"I won't! I, Qiu, have never understood how to write the word 'regret' in my life. " When he was with his mother and his father died, he did not regret it at all. He did not believe that there was anything in this world that could make him regret it.
"As you wish. I'll sell the nine stalks of Spirit Grass to you. Two hundred seventy thousand people and two hundred seventy thousand silver taels. No matter what happens in the future, don't look for me again." Ji Yunkai caressed his stomach, his voice low and solemn.
For the sake of the fetus in her womb, she gave General Qiu one last chance. If General Qiu didn't seize it and continued to court death, then there was nothing she could do, was there?
"Fine, I'll buy it. Give me nine stalks, nine stalks of Spirit Grass." Old Madam Qiu's eyes lit up, she stared straight at Ji Yunkai, afraid that if she was one step too late, Ji Yunkai would go back on his words.
"If you pay two hundred and ten thousand silver taels, I'll give you seven. I don't want Madam Qiu's two stalks of silver taels, so don't even think about taking them away." Ji Yunkai believed that Old Madam Qiu would definitely do such a thing.
In Old Madam Qiu's eyes, Madam Qiu's life was not worth more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. The two stalks of herbs could easily earn more than a hundred thousand taels of silver. It was simply a waste to spend it on Madam Qiu.
Ji Yunkai did not speak. She only looked at General Qiu with a face full of ridicule.
General Qiu was embarrassed by her stare and had to persuade Madam Qiu, "Mother, stop messing around. If this goes on, you won't be able to buy a single stalk. Didn't you hear from the princess that if you don't want the silver, she can just give it to Ruomei instead of selling it to us? "
"Give it to that bitch? How could he give such an expensive spiritual herb to that bitch? That slut has survived for so many years, she won't die for a short period of time. Child, don't be foolish, you were tricked by the Prince Yanbei's Wife, this woman is too terrifying, she had previously destroyed your sister's reputation and even captured your uncle. This woman is not a good person, you have to be careful. "
"Mother …" Although he was well aware of his mother's character, after hearing Old Madam Qiu's words, he still felt powerless.
"Ah!"
"Scram!"
Old Madam Qiu had just opened her mouth when she was interrupted by Ji Yunkai. "Prince Yanbei's Mansion's courtyard is not a place for you to behave atrociously."
"Spirit grass, if you give me the spirit grass, I'll leave." Hmph, do you think this place is expensive? If it wasn't for the spiritual herbs, do you think I would be willing to come here? " Old Madam Qiu's reaction was typical: "I won't sell the spiritual herbs, two hundred thousand? Do you think I lack that bit of silver? "
Who knew if the prince was too confident in her ability to control Yanbei, or if he just didn't think of it that way. Other than guards and secret guards, the prince didn't prepare anything for her at all.
If she wasn't tough enough, she might have fallen into the Prince Yanbei's Mansion's backyard, and live her life in fear.
Truly, just the thought of it was terrifying.
"I, I …" You, how can you go back on your word? "Er, Prince Yanbei's Wife's this, this, this …" Old Madam Qiu's expression changed, and she didn't dare to continue scolding him. She pulled at General Qiu with a face full of anxiety.
"Mother, this is the Prince Yanbei's Mansion and this is the Prince Yanbei's Wife. Although I, your son, am a great general, I still have to kneel and salute in front of an imperial concubine." Seeing that his mother was scared, General Qiu secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "Mother, if you want to buy Spirit Grass, there are seven. If there is more, don't even think about buying more."
"But, but …" When she thought of the two stalks that she could not buy, Madam Qiu's heart ached as if it was being gouged out of her chest.
"A human heart is not satisfied with swallowing an elephant." In her entire life, she had never seen such a greedy person. Even Shiqing himself wasn't that greedy, this Old Madam Qiu was truly a greedy person.
"Good, good, good. Seven. I'll buy seven." Princess, here are 200,000 silver, 7 stalks... If you lose two of my plants, you'll have to pay me 10,000 silver coins less. " Madam Qiu was really afraid that if she continued to stir up trouble, she would not be able to obtain even a single stalk. She quickly counted out the banknotes, even losing ten thousand taels.
"Go to my room and bring me the Spirit Grass." Ji Yunkai did not mention the ten thousand silver matter from the start.
Old Madam Qiu saw her attitude and secretly regretted it in her heart. She wanted to come back a few more times, but when she saw her son's dark expression, she silently retracted her hand that she had extended.
She had always had eyes for him. Seeing her son like this, she knew that her son wouldn't be happy. If she continued to make a ruckus, then perhaps her son would just leave her alone.
She was an old woman who had no one to rely on. If she didn't have her son to rely on, how could she be powerful in Yanbei?
