After Escaping from the Marriage, the Crown Prince Started Pampering Me - Chapter 22

Chapter 22 You Have to Pay Back When You’re Out

“A hundred thousand taels of silver?”

Ye Qingge’s beautiful eyes widened as she looked at the banknotes that the man had placed on the table.

Wasn’t it just paper?

After all, the 23rd-century coins had anti-counterfeiting codes and gold and silver wires. Just a piece of paper was enough.

Sigh, ancient times were really better.

If only she hadn’t learned how to make machines, he would have made a fortune by producing fake banknotes.

“As the saying goes, a gentleman loves money and has a way of obtaining it. I do like the banknotes in Young Master’s hands, but I can’t lie to you. This thing was really picked up.”

Ye Qingge sighed softly as she spoke as if she was extremely regretful that she had missed out on the one hundred thousand taels of silver.

“So where did you pick it up?”

Could it be that 100,000 taels of silver were not enough? He did not expect this little girl to be so greedy.

“It’s in the courtyard. I’m just a young lady. Where else can I pick it up?”

Picked up from a brothel!

The man could not help but roll his eyes in his heart.

Looking at her aggrieved expression, it was as if not believing her was a particularly heinous thing.

It was as if she was a delicate flower that needed to be held in the palm of his hand.

However, this flower was not weak at all. In fact, it was very thorny.

Now, everyone was saying that her concubine sister had climbed into her brother-in-law’s bed for the position of Madam.

As a younger sister, she didn’t want to see her elder sister as a concubine, so she agreed to divorce her.

If he had not met her at the brothel that night, he would have believed that there was such a close sisterhood in this world.

That’s right, the one with the mask was Beitang Xiumo.

The day before yesterday, he received an urgent letter from the capital.

The letter said that a horse from General Zhanbei’s Estate had gone straight to the border recently. After investigation, it was found that it carried the weapon that the Northern Mang had used previously. Its name was Crossbow.

This kind of crossbow had great lethality and high accuracy. It was a rare weapon.

Hence, he sent people to find out who had been coming and going to General Zhanbei’s Estate for the past few days. He found a name-Ye Qingge.

This name was too similar to the name of Ye Ge he had met in the brothel, so he decided to come over and take a look.

Who knew that he would actually see such an exciting scene in the courtyard? Now, he was certain that the crossbow was definitely related to her.

However, she did not know where the gun came from. Clearly, she was unwilling to say it.

Just as Beitang Xiumo sized up Ye Qingge, Ye Qingge was also sizing him up.

This man was definitely not an ordinary man. Although his series of actions just now looked like frivolous lechers, they were actually planned.

Moreover, his motive was very strong. He should be aiming for the gun in her hand.

But that didn’t make sense. How did he know she had a gun in her hand?

She had never taken out this gun before. This was the first time today.

So if he couldn’t have come for the gun in the first place, what could he have come for? Although he tried his best to pretend to be a gentleman, it was obvious that he was not. She had never seen a thief bring banknotes to steal in her life.

Oh, there is.

It was just that in a cartoon called ‘A Long Time Ago’, the thief saw that the scholar’s family was too poor, so he threw a few copper coins at him.

However, she was indeed very poor, but not to that extent.

“Since you don’t want to tell me, I won’t force you. I’ll still give you this banknote, but I’ll take this gun with me.”

Beitang Xiumo glanced at Ye Qingge and was about to leave.

“Young Master is indeed magnanimous. Qingge is extremely grateful. Please accept my bow.”

As Ye Qingge spoke, she slowly walked over to Beitang Xiumo and bowed.

However, the next moment, Beitang Xiumo felt a pain in his thigh. It was as if he had been pricked by a needle.

In the next moment, Ye Qingge nimbly jumped away and dodged his hand that was grabbing at her. Then, she looked at Beitang Xiumo with a smile and slowly spat out, “Three, two, one, fall!” Bang! Beitang Xiumo’s tall figure fell to the ground.

Ye Qingge hurriedly ran over to take a look.

“It’s a good thing I didn’t break my plot.”

Listen to what she said. Was she even human? “You poisoned me?”

At this moment, Beitang Xiumo’s beautiful eyes were filled with coldness. Although he was lying motionless on the ground, his oppressive aura was still terrifying.

But it was clear that Ye Qingge wasn’t afraid.

“Yes, it can be considered a type of poison.”

Ye Qingge thought about it and nodded in agreement.

She had used anesthetic just now, the kind used by the special forces in the 23rd century.

Because it was easy to get injured on the battlefield and needed to be treated immediately, there was a large amount of anesthetic, but the effect was good. Basically, after pushing the blood vessel for three seconds, there would be no pain, and the surgery could begin.

However, the measurement she used just now was relatively large. It was probably the quantity needed to knock down a cow. However, the man on the ground was still awake. It could be seen how good his physique was.

“Have you heard of this saying? You have to pay for what you’ve done.”

Ye Qingge came to the man’s side and squatted down. She met his beautiful eyes that were filled with anger and took her gun back from his hand.

As she spun the gun in her hand, she sized up the man on the ground!

God was really unfair. How could anyone have such beautiful eyes?

And a man?

It was unknown how many young girls were rushing over.

Beitang Xiumo sized up Ye Qingge coldly. He had really failed miserably.

He had been through so many storms, but he was actually defeated by the little girl. However, what poison did she use? Currently, he was only weak all over and did not feel anything else.

“You touched my waist just now, right? Now I want to touch it back.”

Ye Qingge spoke in an innocent and adorable manner. She didn’t seem to think that her words had shocked the man on the ground at all.

‘What did she say?’ ‘She said she wanted to touch it back?’ Did he hear wrongly? Beitang Xiumo felt that his brain, which had always been useful, suddenly became useless.

Then, he saw a fair hand touch his waist.

Then, she pinched twice, but he didn’t feel anything.

He had never experienced such a feeling before, but it was extremely terrifying. He could even imagine that if she had a knife in her hand and stabbed him, he probably wouldn’t feel anything. Ye Qingge retracted her hand. Other than a belt around his waist, there was nothing else.

It didn’t look like the kind of thing on television where there was a waist token. “You just flipped my sleeve, didn’t you?”

Ye Qingge asked the dazed man on the ground with a smile.

“Then I’ll have to turn it back.”

Ye Qingge smiled as she flipped the man’s sleeve twice, but she still found nothing.

Then, she mimicked the man and looked at his chest twice.

“I… I didn’t search your chest.” After saying that, Beitang Xiumo felt like his face was about to boil an egg. Ye Qingge nodded. “Yeah, you didn’t, but I have to. But until then, I still want to see what you really look like.”

As Ye Qingge spoke, she reached out and pulled off the man’s veil.

The moment the man’s veil was pulled off, all the candles in the room were extinguished. Then, a figure jumped in from the window, picked up Beitang Xiumo from the ground, and jumped out again.
