After conquering seven male favorites, the vicious heroine wants to run away

Chapter 15 Punishing the Scumbag
"A Ling, osmanthus cake is delicious."

Shi Nuanyu picked up the cake and stuffed it into Hua Lingyan's hand, specifically instructing her, "You must eat it."

His eyes fell on the long sword on the boy's waist, but he quickly looked away and leaned to the other side calmly.

Conditioned reflex, she is a conditioned reflex.

Hua Lingyan stopped thinking and stared blankly at the exquisite pastry in her hand, the doubts in her mind only increasing.

He took a bite of the pastry, the sweet taste spread across his taste buds, his pupils suddenly shrank, and the shock in his eyes was about to overflow.

Sweet!

Seeing that the young man was willing to eat the snacks she gave him, Shi Nuanyu felt relieved. She was really worried that Hua Lingyan had just listened to Hua Niang's words.

Seeing that Hua Lingyan had finished the pastry in her hand, she handed her another piece, which earned her a hesitant look from the boy.

Shi Nuanyu's eyebrows curved and she winked at the young man, signaling him to continue.

After repeating this several times, she simply put all the cakes on the table on a plate and stuffed the whole thing, including the cakes and the plate, into his hands.

As caring as an older sister taking care of the kids next door.

"If you like it, eat more."

The guards around looked straight ahead, but they were wondering in their hearts why Her Royal Highness the Princess was so fond of their leader today.

The three floors inside and outside Chunyu Tower are guarded by guards, which discourages those who want to watch the fun. Yanliu Lane is extremely quiet and deserted, and those who come to have fun leave early to avoid trouble.

Hua Niang didn't let Shi Nuanyu wait too long. She listed the bills for the adults' consumption at Chunyu Tower on a piece of paper and presented it respectfully.

"Princess, here are all the bills for the adults' consumption, including the bills for the adults who used to come to Chunyulou for fun."

Shi Nuanyu was overjoyed, and those who didn't come must have hated Hua Niang to death.

She took the bill and carefully examined the amount on it.

At the beginning, it was more than ten taels of silver, and later it became dozens or even hundreds of taels. You should know that ten taels of silver is the expenditure for an ordinary family for one year or more.

The people on the bill were no higher than the fourth rank in the court, and their monthly salary was no more than thirty-five taels, but they were able to spend dozens of taels of silver here. Shi Nuanyu didn't believe that there was no trick.

His eyes fell on Li Rong's bill, which showed a total of fifty taels of silver spent this month. He had visited Chunyulou more than a dozen times, spending a different amount of silver each time, for a total of five hundred taels.

Wow, there’s something fun to do.

Looking at those frightened and miserable ministers, Shi Nuanyu raised her eyebrows and a sly smile flashed across her lips.

"Hua Niang, read."

Hua Niang took it tremblingly and began to read it aloud.

"Wang Wu, fifth rank, lecturer in the Hanlin Academy, spent a total of 280 taels of silver.

Chen Liu, a fifth-rank official and councilor of the Tongzheng Division, spent a total of three hundred and seventy taels.

Li Rong, from the fourth rank, Hanlin Academy Bachelor of Attendant Studies, the total cost is five hundred taels..."

Every time someone's name was called, their face turned paler.

Shi Nuanyu felt refreshed and refreshed. "My lords, you are truly capable. You have spent so much money on Chunyu Tower this month." She glanced meaningfully at the ministers who lowered their heads even lower. "You are truly good ministers to our father."

They dared not say a word, cold sweat broke out on their bodies, and they prayed in their hearts that the evil spirit would let them go.

"The legal code clearly stipulates that officials of this dynasty are not allowed to visit prostitutes."

Shi Nuanyu sneered, "I am kind-hearted and will let you go today. You gentlemen, please sign and pledge, pay double the ransom, and you can leave on your own."

Someone covered his mouth and laughed, and the laughter startled everyone present.

Hua Lingyan's almond-shaped eyes became sharp. She quickly found the source of the sound and faced the man wearing the fang mask. Their eyes met but there was no intention of fighting.

"I've heard that Princess Nanyue is cruel and ruthless, but I don't think this punishment is entirely true."

The man jumped down from the second floor and landed on the stage in the hall.

"Could it be that the thief who heard the rumors deliberately fabricated stories about Princess Nanyue to tarnish your reputation?"

When they saw the person coming, the guards immediately became alert and waited for orders from their superiors.

Shi Nuanyu looked displeased. Anyone who was interrupted while showing off would definitely be in a bad mood.

"It's you again. Get off this palace!"

The man didn't move, but leaned on the armrest and looked calmly at the angry woman. She suddenly stood up from the chair and slammed the whip in her hand to the ground.

It's him again. I was entangled by him last time, and I met him again in Chunyu Tower this time. He must be a pervert.

She is not a delicate princess. Facing such a playboy, she has the strength and means to do so.

"Unethical man, don't make me say it a second time."

Shi Nuanyu didn't dare to offend the male protagonists easily, so how could she not dare to offend a stranger?

She rolled up her sleeves and was about to charge when the man raised his hands in surrender.

"Your Highness, I'm coming down. Please don't punish me."

He walked slowly towards the woman with wary eyes, a meaningful smile flashing in his eyes.

The man was really tall, and his slow pace was like that of a ferocious cheetah, which made her feel inexplicably oppressed.

Shi Nuanyu calmed down and shouted angrily, "Go back to your original position and don't make a sound."

She hates unknown dangers, especially threats from strangers.

"As you command, Your Highness Princess."

The man stopped and obediently flew upstairs to sit down.

He wore a mask on his face, revealing only a pair of ice-blue eyes.

Shi Nuanyu could see from those eyes that the person was teasing her.

She was angry and annoyed, and secretly decided to stay away from this man in the future.

Her plans were disrupted, and Shi Nuanyu really couldn't muster up any patience.

He roared at the ministers kneeling in the hall.

"What are you looking at? If you keep looking, I'll poke your eyes out."

The whip cracked against the table, "Sign and pay."

Shi Nuanyu glared at the man sitting on the second floor, and he helplessly spread his hands to indicate that he was innocent.

Hua Lingyan saw everything the two did, but she felt nothing in her heart. However, she secretly hugged the plate of pastries in her arms tightly.

Sitting back in the chair again, Shi Nuanyu took a sip of tea to suppress her anger.

Chunyu Tower fell into an awkward atmosphere, and the air pressure around it was frighteningly low.

Some ministers could not contain themselves and asked tremblingly.

"Princess, after I pay you the money, will you really let me go back home and not pursue the matter any further?"

Although he was an official of the imperial court, he was no match for the only heir of the royal family, and he had already accepted his fate of falling into this poisonous hand.

This time, Shi Nuanyu didn't need to speak. The guard holding a knife grabbed his collar and dragged him a distance to the table.

The minister was dragged so hard that he saw stars and tremblingly took out the silver from his pocket and handed it over.

He signed with trembling hands.

Shi Nuanyu nodded slightly with a serious face. Seeing that he handed over the money so readily, she thought to herself that it was not enough.

Once there was one, there was a second. Several ministers left one after another, and those who had not paid the silver continued to kneel on the ground.

Perhaps someone outside Chunyu Tower leaked the news, and some ministers' families came with silver to redeem the person.

After tossing and turning for a long time, Shi Nuanyu was about to fall asleep. When she opened her eyes, she found that there was only one person left in the lobby.

She opened her red lips slightly, "Who is he?"

Hua Lingyan nodded and answered respectfully, "Li Rong, Bachelor of the Imperial Academy."

Shi Nuanyu seemed to recall something, "So he is the famous Imperial Academy Scholar who abused his wife."

She stroked the whip in her hand and looked straight at Li Rong who was kneeling on the ground and couldn't raise his head.

"A Ling, how much silver does he owe me?"

Hua Lingyan: "One thousand taels."
