Chapter 1445: Stay For Tea

Xiao Jingyu's pupils constricted once again, and her heartbeat suddenly tightened. She almost thought that Lin Yuelan knew her true identity!

Her sharp gaze immediately fixed on Lin Yuelan as if she wanted to see something from Lin Yuelan's expression. However, Lin Yuelan's expression had always been calm and collected, so she couldn't see anything at all.

Then, she suddenly smiled stiffly and said, "Princess Guguo, just now you said that you wanted me to compensate 38888 taels, but I don't have that much money on me. Can you let the princess go back to the posthouse first and bring the money over?"

Lin Yuelan said calmly, "That's right. Princess Linglong wants to compensate 38888 taels. However, since we're acquaintances, we'll just erase the change."

When they heard Lin Yuelan say that she would erase the last bit, everyone thought that she would erase 8888 taels.

Even Xiao Jingyu thought so.

But...

"Just compensate 38880 taels!"Lin Yuelan pretended to be heartbroken as she said, "You have to know that I'm also very heartbroken and reluctant to part with those eight taels of silver. After all, it's eight taels. It's enough for my family to live in the countryside for more than a year."

Everyone fell!

The corner of their mouths twitched again!

Princess, these eight taels are nothing compared to the profits of your inn. What are you still feeling heartache for?

In the entire world the most profitable inn in the world would be this Ni Lai Wo Wang Inn, right?

So, princess, don't attack the other princesses, okay?

When Xiao Jingyu heard this, she was so angry that her face turned green. She gritted her teeth and said," Then I should thank Princess Guguo for your generosity! However," she changed the topic," there's no need to erase the change. I can still afford to pay for the eight taels of silver!"

However, she hated Lin Yuelan in her heart. 'Lin Yuelan, I'll remember the humiliation you've given me this time.

'In the future, we'll settle old and new grudges together!

'I don't believe that you will always be high and mighty as the princess of Guguo and the wife of your general!'

"However, this princess must return to the posthouse now to get the money!"She said it through gritted teeth.

She had no idea if she could get so much money.

However, she needed to leave now. She had to find an excuse to leave first.

As for whether she would compensate her or not, she could find an excuse after she returned to the posthouse.

After all, 38888 was not a small sum to her.

If she could deny it, she would deny it. If he could not deny it, she would think of a way to deny it.

Lin Yuelan nodded and said," Oh, Princess Linglong didn't bring enough money! Then she would indeed have to return to the Imperial Post Station. However," Her sharp eyes swept across Xiao Jingyu's face and stared at her fiercely for a moment as if she had seen through Xiao Jingyu's plan." Princess Linglong, I'm worried about you going back alone, so you'd better let your servant girl go back on your behalf!" As she spoke, she raised her chin slightly and pointed at the servant girl beside Xiao Jingyu.

The expression on Xiao Jingyu's face froze. She asked in a daze," Princess Guguo, what's there to worry about?" Lin Yuelan saw through her intention to renege on her debt.

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said frankly," Of course, I'm afraid you'll go back on your word!"

What was that?

A princess of a country reneging on a mere 40,000 taels of silver. If word got out, people would laugh their teeth out!

How could there be such a poor princess?

However, Princess Linglong and her servant girl kept saying that the inn was taking advantage of the situation. This meant that they did not have much money on them. Therefore, it was possible that she would go back to her word.

Xiao Jingyu's eyes flashed with astonishment, but she quickly reacted and said in confusion," Princess Guguo, what are you talking about? This princess is a princess. How can I not pay you back?"

Lin Yuelan didn't say much to her. She directly told the servant girl beside her, "Go and tell your Second Prince that you broke a bowl and chopsticks when you came to eat at this inn. You have to compensate 38888 taels of silver!"

As she spoke, she looked at Xiao Jingyu with her sharp eyes and said," I'm sorry, Princess Linglong. I don't trust the Black Cloud Kingdom's royal family which specializes in snatching fiancées and husbands. So, you can only stay here and drink tea. You can go back when the Dark Cloud Country Envoy sends the money!"

Xiao Jingyu was so angry that her entire body trembled. Her face was livid as she asked angrily, "You… You want this princess to stay here as a hostage?!"

38888 taels. She was a princess, yet she was not worth 40,000 taels!
