The Prodigal Son

Only after Zhao Yan's repeated persuasion did Lü Si finally suppress his anger.

"If you dare to show off in front of me again, I'll slap your dog mouth shut!"

Lu Si gave Lu Yong a warning with an unfriendly expression, then continued to Zhao Yan, "Qin Yu has at least a million taels of silver in his hands right now. Knowing that bastard as I do, he definitely won't go if the appearance fee isn't high enough!"

Hearing Lü Si's words, Zhao Yan couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

Even if he is the heir of the Prince of Chengyang, tens of thousands of taels of silver is not a small amount for him!

He brought quite a bit of silver with him when he came to the capital.

But he really didn't want to spend that money!

He wanted to use his own methods to force Qin Yu to participate in the Confucian Temple debate and fall into the trap he had set for him!

After a moment of contemplation, Zhao Yan asked Lü Si, "If you wanted Qin Yu to participate in the Confucian Temple debate, what would you do?"

"I certainly can't think of any other way but to pay an appearance fee."

Lu Si sniffed. "At most, I'd like to give it out now and then figure out how to get it back later."

Ok?

Upon hearing Lü Si's words, Zhao Yan's heart stirred.

That's right!

Silver can be given away, and it can also be taken back!

The most urgent task is to get Qin Yu to participate in the debate at the Confucian Temple!

Only in this way can we gain the upper hand and make him fall into our trap!

Make a decisive decision!

You can't be like your father, always hesitant and overthinking things!

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan immediately stopped hesitating and said to Lü Si, "I'll give you 20,000 taels of silver later. How about you go to the Qin family for me?"

"Twenty thousand taels?"

Lu Si frowned, looking at Zhao Yan with some difficulty: "I'm still worried that Qin Yu won't be interested in these 20,000 taels of silver..."

That grandson of Zhao Yan is really rich!

They really are willing to spend so much money to invite Qin Yu to participate in that dilapidated Confucian temple debate!

It would be even better if we could squeeze more money out of him!

Zhao Yan shook his head slightly. "If he doesn't even want 20,000 taels of silver, even if I offer 40,000, he might still not be interested! In that case, I'll have to think of other ways!"

"Alright, I'll give it a try!"

Lu Si was secretly disappointed. "However, I can't guarantee it will work out."

"OK!"

Zhao Yan nodded and patted Lü Si on the shoulder: "You've worked hard!"

"fine!"

Lu Si patted his chest and said, "I'm willing to do anything to deal with that bastard Qin Yu!"

……

Back home, Qin Yu called Nan Que'er over.

"what?"

Qin Yu's eyes lit up as he watched Nan Que'er approach gracefully.

Nan Que'er styled her hair in the half-phoenix bun, a popular style among unmarried women in Da Ning. Half of her hair was tied up in a phoenix bun, while the other half was left loose, with a green jade hairpin inserted in her hair.

She also changed into the new clothes that Luo Qingyi bought for her, which perfectly outlined her curves.

She was already beautiful, and after dressing up, she became even more radiant and charming.

Meeting Qin Yu's gaze, Nan Que'er couldn't help but pout, "What are you looking at? It's not like you haven't seen it before!"

"I've never seen you dressed like this before."

Qin Yu's lips curled into a smile. "You look great like this. Keep dressing like this from now on!"

Nan Que'er smiled charmingly, "You called me here just to tell me this?"

"Am I such a materialistic person?"

Qin Yuhu's body trembled, and he gave her a displeased look.

"You are not."

Nan Que'er shook her head with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject, "Then who is it?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Yu immediately revealed a mischievous smile. "If you put it that way, then I'll have to admit I'm being a bit tacky."

As he spoke, Qin Yu rubbed his hands together with a smile.

That means, it goes without saying.

"Do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Nan Que'er raised an eyebrow and smiled, then sat down on Qin Yu's lap with a defiant look on her face.

Tolerable or unbearable!

Qin Yu was enraged and grabbed Nan Que'er, subjecting her to a brutal beating.

Nan Que'er not only let Qin Yu do as he pleased, but also took the initiative to kiss Qin Yu's lips.

Only when both of them were breathing heavily did Nan Que'er's lips leave Qin Yu's. She patted Qin Yu's hand, panting, "If you keep teasing me like this, something bad is going to happen! Just tell me why you called me here!"

She was just beginning to enjoy the taste of success.

But thinking of the inexplicable pain in Qin Yu's body, she didn't dare to be too reckless.

If anything happens to Qin Yuzhen, Qin Fumeng will definitely not let her and her clansmen off the hook.

"I'll let you off the hook for today!"

Qin Yu, panting heavily like a bull, slowly said, "His Majesty has agreed that I will settle your people myself! Now, tell me, which of the two choices I gave you earlier do you choose?"

"real?"

Nan Que'er exclaimed in surprise, looking at him in disbelief, "Didn't you say you'd talk about it after you summoned me?"

If Qin Yu were to take care of them himself, then she would have absolutely nothing to worry about.

Her heart, which had been hanging in suspense, could finally settle down.

"Of course it's because I put in a good word for you!"

Qin Yu puffed out his chest smugly, "Don't you think you should thank me properly?"

grateful?

Nan Que'er was surprised, then gave Qin Yu a charming smile, "I've already given myself to you, what more do you want?"

As she spoke, Nan Que'er got up and moved closer to Qin Yu, looking at him with seductive eyes and playfully winking at him.

Her actions reignited Qin Yu's anger.

He used to have just one enchantress in his household who made him itch with desire, and now there's another one.

Unfortunately, I have a strange illness.

This is really going to be the death of me!

Seeing Qin Yu's desperate attempt to restrain himself, Nan Que'er burst into laughter.

Qin Yu was furious and raised his hand to slap Nan Que'er's buttocks.

Snapped!

With one slap, Nan Que'er immediately became obedient.

"Tell me quickly, how do you plan to settle your people?"

Qin Yu did not rush to withdraw his hand.

"Let's become farmers for the Qin family!"

Nan Que'er glared at him, embarrassed and angry, and said fiercely, "If you mistreat them, I'll bite you to death!"

"Alright, whatever you say!"

Qin Yu was quite straightforward. "Tomorrow, I'll have Qingyi take you around the estate. If you want to change your mind after you've seen it, that's fine too."

If you're a farmer, it's not that complicated.

However, to settle so many farmers, we would definitely need to purchase some more land near the farms and report it to the imperial court.

"good!"

Nan Que'er nodded gently, then tentatively asked, "Did you pay a heavy price to fight for the right to resettle my people?"

Hearing Nan Que'er's words, Qin Yu couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.

cost?

What price?

Lost his virginity to a female demon?

If that's the price, it's perfectly acceptable!

cough cough...

We've gone off on a tangent!

Qin Yu snapped out of his daze, then gave her a mischievous grin. "I paid a heavy price. How are you going to make it up to me?"

Nan Que'er took Qin Yu's hand and was about to do something when Luo Qingyi came quickly, startling her so much that she quickly let go of Qin Yu's hand.

"Thirteenth Young Master, someone from the palace has arrived!"
