Chapter 415: Thank You with 10,000 Taels of Gold
The princess could only sulk when Zhao Xuzhi said that. She could not blame him for anything.
This thing was given to her son, and her son did intend to hide it. The b*stard son looked so pitiful and innocent, so she did not know where to vent her anger.
“Are you telling the truth?” Prince Ning Bei asked calmly.
“I swear that if I have the intention to harm my Second Brother, I will die without a complete body!” Zhao Xuzhi immediately knelt and pointed to the sky.
When he raised his head, there were still traces of tears on his face and his eyes were red.
Prince Ning Bei sighed, “Forget it. Since you have no intention to harm him, I won’t hold it against you. However, don’t do this again in the future. After you go back, meditate and copy the seventh volume of the world norm a hundred times.”
Zhao Xuzhi immediately responded without the slightest bit of dissatisfaction.
The seventh volume of the world norm was about brotherhood.
“Go,” Prince Ning Bei said again.
Zhao Xuzhi immediately kowtowed and retreated.
His head hit the ground with a thud. It looked as if he was expressing his innocence.
The princess was not that unforgiving. It was just that Zhao Xuzhi had accidentally harmed her son. She felt a little disgusted, but seeing him like that, her heart softened a little and she did not say anything more.
Zhao Xuzhi left the courtyard in a sorry state.
His forehead was red and his face was still filled with grief and self-blame.
It was not until he got into the carriage outside that his gaze immediately changed.
He clenched his fists slightly and was about to smash the carriage frame. However, when he wanted to do that, he recalled that there might be people watching from the outside in secret, so he held it in.
He thought about what had happened before.
On the way back to the capital, Zhao Yuzhi was a little impatient. As the elder brother, he was like a slave. He had to play with the Young Heir and even protect his safety.
It was indeed unintentional.
He took a fancy to the top at first sight. With his understanding of Zhao Yuzhi, he would definitely like it very much. As his elder brother, he had to curry favor with his younger brother. At that time, he secretly thought it was sarcastic.
When he bought it, the pawnshop attendant secretly said something to him.
He said that this thing was dirty. It must have been something buried with a wealthy child. It had been dug up. If it was to be given to the child to play with, he had to be careful.
It was just a top.
That was what he thought at that time.
However, he did not expect that from then on, his younger brother would really be ill. He could not even afford to get sick.
He had thought about it a lot. He had thought about taking back the golden top, but after hesitating a few times, he decided to leave it as it was.
It was not his fault. He just thought it was impossible for such a strange thing to exist in the world? How could a top kill a person?
He clearly had good intentions.
Zhao Xuzhi endured his emotions and his gaze was a little malicious.
“Find out which master saved my Second Brother. When you return, prepare a generous gift. I will personally thank him,” Zhao Xuzhi finally said to the person serving him outside.
Xie Qiao stayed in the courtyard for three days.
However, there were also people who sent a message to the Xie family saying that Xie Qiao was out with Mo Chusheng.
Xie Pinggang was a big-hearted person and did not ask about it at all.
Before she left, Prince Ning Bei invited her over. In front of her were a lot of… gold.
The gold was sparkling.
Xie Qiao’s face immediately tensed up. She did not appear to be too eager. She did not even look at the gold. She looked like an expert who treated money like dirt!
“I told you earlier that if you save my son, I’ll give you 10,000 taels of gold,” Prince Ning Bei was very serious.
Xie Qiao was also serious, “Although life cannot be measured by money, it’s inappropriate to give such an expensive gift. According to the market price, just pay me… 5,000 taels of silver.”
That was the price for capturing a vengeful spirit, and it was indeed correct.
Earlier, the Young Heir’s guards had received a hundred taels of gold as well.
She could only charge for 5,000 taels of silver for the vengeful spirits around the Young Heir, and that was under the premise that the Prince Ning Bei was wealthy. It would not be good for her if she asked for more.
