Chapter Seven, Xue Meng's Thoughts

Su Wen contemplated for a moment, wrote a note, summoned a maid, and prepared to have her deliver it to He Ping'an

The Second Prince was greatly astonished and quickly asked, "How did you know?"

Zhao Rui was taken aback: "I can't believe it, this person is so cunning! I was deceived by him as well, thinking that he was genuinely in love with Cui Yumi!"

Unfortunately, Su Wen is not someone who values reason or sentiment. He merely rolled his eyes and disdainfully said, "Do you think I am short of money? I am not afraid to tell you that I have been infatuated with Miss Cui for almost half an hour. In this half an hour, I have become impatient and have decided that before you redeem Miss Cui, I will sleep with her once. After that, I will give her a dowry of three hundred thousand taels, so she can marry you. What do you think?"

Xue Meng did not know the Second Prince

Xue Meng fixed his gaze on Su Wen

This fellow speaks quite appropriately, first discussing emotions, then addressing benefits

Upon seeing Xue Meng's figures, the Second Prince could not help but shake his head and exclaim: "A smile from a beauty is worth a thousand gold pieces"

Ding dong, gained Xue Meng's anger, emotional value + 300

Su Wen did not respond immediately; instead, he wrote some additional words on a note and handed it to the maid, instructing her to deliver it to He Ping'an. Only then did he explain: "Your Highness might consider how Cui Yumi appeared when she took the stage just now"

Ding dong

In the first round, I threw in three hundred thousand taels of silver. In this round, I estimate that not many others will dare to participate. After the twenty-fifth, it should be the final round, and it is highly likely that it will involve bidding or similar methods. By that time, it is feared that even a million taels of silver may not suffice. If I had agreed to him just now, then Cui Meng would have given us six hundred thousand taels, allowing him to win easily, saving money and gaining the beauty, with all the benefits going to him.

Xue Meng smiled and said: "To be honest, I have been infatuated with Miss Cui for a long time. Our feelings are mutual, and I have been waiting for this day for three years. I have already decided to redeem Miss Cui tomorrow. Therefore, I kindly ask Young Master Su to show mercy and allow me to succeed. I will take care of all expenses incurred today, including the three hundred thousand taels of silver notes you sent in the last round. After this, Young Master Su need not involve himself any further. Once the matter is accomplished, I will present another three hundred thousand taels as a token of gratitude"

The woman on stage smiled and said: "We have now selected the top twenty gentlemen, and we are about to enter the second round. This second round is called 'A Smile from a Beauty.' The top twenty gentlemen will have half an hour to prepare their gifts. Ultimately, Miss Cui Yumiann will select the five most pleasing items. However, this time, the gifts that are not chosen will be returned intact."

It is important to understand that this is unprecedented

At that moment, a person walked up to the table

She swallowed hard and shouted loudly: "Su Wen, No. 15, a banknote of three hundred thousand taels!"

Su Wen smiled and said: "This is it. If it is truly as Xue Meng said, that the two are mutually in love, then Cui Yumi should be happy, not sorrowful. After all, given Xue Meng's family background and strength, today he has a high probability of succeeding, and she should be looking towards Xue Meng. This is the true manifestation of mutual affection."

Ding dong, congratulations to the host for receiving Zhou Xiaoxiao's shock, emotional value + 15

The scene was enveloped in silence, which was soon followed by a buzzing murmur of discussion.

After careful recollection, he said somewhat uncertainly: "It seems to be a bit sorrowful"

After all, he is the son of Su Changqing

Xue Meng was furious and reprimanded, "Su Wen, do not be too overbearing!"

Su Wen was speaking while also calculating the accounts

He threw out 100,000 taels, originally thinking that no one would offer more. Unexpectedly, Su Wen was able to throw out 300,000 taels in one go

Su Wen raised his eyes to glance at him and asked, "Is there something?"

Ding dong, congratulations to the host for receiving Lu Wenyuan's shock, emotional value + 10

On the other side, Xue Meng furrowed his brows

Xue Meng left directly

What a guy, with quite the temper. Su Wen extorted one million taels from Zhao Rui, and only then did Zhao Rui add 200 points to his emotional value, yet this fellow suddenly gained 300 points!

Su Wen emerged as the winner

At that moment, the woman on stage opened another envelope.

One cannot help but have a change of heart towards Su Wen: "This fellow is quite clever and quick-witted, but what a pity that he does not use his talents for the right purposes. He has become a debauched young master, and from what I gather, he is about to squander a fortune of one million taels on this courtesan today. What a shame, what a shame."

Hehe, Su Wen, let's see as we go, you won't win today

Quite moving

As soon as this amount was announced, the scene was filled with astonishment

Zhao Rui shouted inwardly: "The silver in my family... my family's..."

Zhao Rui interjected, "Look at me!"

At this moment, the recitation on stage has been completely finished, and no one has contributed anything further

However, under the current circumstances, things seem to have become quite simple

A wave of discussion arose at the scene

The Second Prince glanced at Su Wen

It is indeed Xue Meng, who clasped his hands and smiled, saying: "I have met Brother Su."

Su Wen sneered, "Am I being too overbearing? Do you think this is just any place? This is a brothel; if you have money, you can come in, if you don't, you can leave! So, should I make way for you just because I have money?"

The second prince inwardly complained: "What a wasteful son!"

Seeing Xue Meng staring at him with wide eyes, Su Wen provocatively said: "What are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll gouge out your eyeballs and use them as marbles!"

Su Wen was overjoyed; although the increase in these emotional values was not significant individually, the sheer quantity was overwhelming

Su Wen smiled and said: "Your Highness is still too young. This fellow has come to deceive us. What nonsense about mutual affection? It is completely unfounded! He just wants to trick me into giving up, so he can spend less money and still achieve his goal. My last round of three hundred thousand taels really frightened him!"

There were hundreds of people on site, and in just a short while, Su Wen's emotional value increased by 4,800 points

The Second Prince was greatly enraged: "Do not speak nonsense, she is clearly looking straight ahead."

Su Wen asked again: "Where are Cui Yumi's eyes looking?"

large grain producers

Su Wen suddenly gained insight. Previously, he always tried to create intense emotional fluctuations in a single person to obtain emotional value. Even though he worked hard, one person ultimately could not yield too much emotional value.

Cui Yumian is very beautiful, but in the eyes of the Second Prince, spending one million taels of silver for a fleeting moment with her is excessively extravagant

The first issue is that the amount is too high

Isn't that too much? Do they really not take money seriously?

Originally, Xue Meng's one hundred thousand taels had already astonished everyone, but unexpectedly, Su Wen came up with an even more ruthless offer

At this moment, Su Wen said: "Today, Zhao Rui just happened to send me one million taels of silver. If I do not spend it, my father will definitely take it away when I return home. Rather than that, it is better to be straightforward!"

Xue Meng, having seen that I invested 300,000 last round, realized that it would not be so easy to defeat me this time we met, which is why he deliberately tried to deceive me with his words

Looking at his back, the Second Prince shook his head and said, "Brother Su, why must you be so sharp? This Xue Meng seems to be quite sincere and is a person of feelings and loyalty. Even if we do not agree to this person, there is no need to be so harsh."

The Second Prince was taken aback; he was so captivated by Cui Yumian's beauty that he had not paid much attention.

Secondly, it is Su Wen's identity, after all, he is the son of Su Changqing

Goodness! Does Su Wen have so much money

It is indeed quite ruthless

It was completely beyond his expectations
