Chapter 305 At worst, one life for another.

Lou Chen frowned. He, the ruler of a country, was being called poor and stingy? Had she forgotten that she had won two hundred thousand taels of silver from them?
Desheng was terrified. His wife was truly fearless!

Lou Mingzhu: How could Brother Jun like Qi Yunran, who is so vulgar?

It must be to protect Qi Yulu from disaster!

Pei Yuanjun also smiled slightly, in a good mood.

The gloom that had been hanging over me for days because of my wife’s distant attitude was slowly dissipating!

I feel relaxed all over!

"What? Princess Mingzhu, as a princess, isn't worth 100,000 taels of silver? Even if she were sold by weight in gold, she would still be worth 100,000 taels!"

As Qi Yunran finished speaking, Lou Chen couldn't listen anymore. Was it that he couldn't afford 100,000 taels of silver? He just couldn't stand hearing her call him poor!
What did she compare the princess to? Livestock that could be bought and sold at will?

Lou Chen couldn't stand it anymore. For the first time, he was so angry at a woman that he was furious. In the past, all the concubines in the harem had treated him with respect: "Desheng, give 100,000 taels to the virtuous lady!"

A murderous glint flashed in Lou Mingzhu's eyes. Qi Yunran!
With a heart full of fear, Eunuch Desheng immediately handed the counted silver notes to Qi Yunran!
I'm afraid she'll say something shocking again.

If the Emperor can't punish her then, he'll be in big trouble when he gets back!
He now only hoped that Qi Yunran would refrain from arguing with the Emperor, considering how readily he had given her the silver notes!

Otherwise, he, the personal chief steward, might be the one to suffer when he goes back!

Qi Yunran took the silver notes and counted them; they were exactly right!
"Alright, now that you've settled the matter with the silver notes, this grudge is wiped clean! But let me make this clear: if you try this kind of kidnapping again, I, Qi Yunran, don't care who you are, I'll kill you first! At worst, one life for one life!"

After saying that, he snorted coldly, and, feeling refreshed, took the silver notes and prepared to make a run for it!
"Now that Madam has accepted the silver notes, shouldn't we let Doctor Fang take a look at Mingzhu's waist?"

Qi Yunran stopped in her tracks as she was about to leave: "I agree, but it depends on him!" She then pointed at Pei Yuanjun.
Pei Yuanjun's gaze turned slightly cold: "Shi An, have Physician Fang come out and examine Princess Mingzhu!"

"Yes!"

Seeing that there was nothing more for her to do, Qi Yunran wanted to leave!
At this moment, Lou Chen suddenly spoke up: "My dear wife, since you've agreed, then I'll leave Princess Mingzhu with the Pei family! I'll come back to fetch her after her back injury has healed!"

Without waiting for Pei Yuanjun's reaction, he strode away with Eunuch Desheng!

Qi Yunran immediately looked up at Pei Yuanjun: "You make arrangements for Princess Mingzhu. I'm a little tired, so I'll go down first!"

Seeing the weariness between her brows, Pei Yuanjun felt sorry for her, especially since she was pregnant: "Go! Leave this to me!"

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunran immediately left, clutching her stomach!

Pei Yuanjun only came to his senses after Qi Yunran's figure disappeared from sight!
His gaze towards Lou Mingzhu flashed with coldness: "Princess Mingzhu, since you're going to stay here, you'd better behave yourself!"

At this moment, Shi An, having received a hint from Pei Yuanjun, deliberately stepped forward and said, "Young Master, Qi Yulu has escaped!"

Lou Mingzhu pricked up her ears to listen, and although they were speaking very softly, she still heard them!
After carefully observing Pei Yuanjun's expression, I saw that he showed no unusual reaction, as if he had known all along!
Lou Mingzhu's heart sank. Now she finally knew that Qi Yunran was really just a substitute!
Does Brother Jun still prefer Qi Yulu?
Because it's practically impossible to be rescued from a place heavily guarded by Pei Yuanjun's secret guards without alerting anyone!

Unless someone deliberately let it go!

Seeing the slight smile on Pei Yuanjun's lips only strengthened her resolve!
In this life, Qi Yunran somehow didn't die. Brother Jun deliberately used Qi Yunran as a shield to protect his reputation!

They deliberately sent Qi Yulu to her to lower her guard, so that after she killed Qi Yunran, they would stand up and testify against her.
