Chapter 32 - Goodbye, I Won’t Be Seeing You Off
Although the crowd could tell that Yun Chujiu was actually an imp, they were not angry. In fact, not only were they not angry, but they even craned their necks further and looked forward to the exciting verbal showoff.
Bai Moyu's face turned as dark as a thundercloud. "Yun Chujiu! This is too much! Five hundred thousand taels of silver?! Dream on!"
Yun Chujiu sighed in a seemingly helpless fashion. "I just want to help. Since you think it's expensive, just forget it, then. In any case, I'm not the one paralyzed. I didn't expect the fourth young mistress of the Bai family to not even be worth five hundred thousand taels of silver. How cheap!"
"Cheap?! You're the one who's cheap! Yun Chujiu, I won't forgive you!" Bai Morou was so angry that her face twisted into a savage expression. She wished that she could bite Yun Chujiu to death.
Yun Chujiu pursed her lips in an unbothered fashion. "It's as they say, nobody can help a stubborn person. Well, off you go. I won't be sending you off. I'm going home for dinner."
After Yun Chujiu finished speaking and put on a show about really wanting to go back into her residence, Bai Morou became terrified.
'Grandfather hired the most famous physician in Ye City to treat me, but even he couldn't figure out what's wrong with me. Am I truly going to be like this forever? No!'
"Brother! Brother! Give her the silver! Save me!" When Bai Morou saw that Yun Chujiu had really turned around and entered the door, she was finally unable to keep up her stubborn front.
Bai Moyu put on a troubled expression. 'Five hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. I can't really make the decision.'
"Morou, wait here for a while. I'm going home to ask Grandpa for instructions!" Bai Moyu gnashed his teeth and decided to go back to ask Bai Peng for instructions.
Bai Morou was also aware that five hundred thousand taels of silver was a big amount, so she could only agree to his decision.
Yun Chujiu did not care about all that. She skipped back into the residence and waved at Yun Chuwu, who was behind her. "Fifth Sister, let's go. Let's go and eat dinner in your courtyard, I'm starving!"
Yun Chuwu had clearly not snapped out of her daze just yet. She was not a fool, so she naturally knew that Young Jiu was teaching the Bai siblings a lesson.
'Bai Moyu is infamous for being a cunning man, but why is he akin to a monkey being led around like a fool in front of Young Jiu?'
Yun Chuwu was absent-minded as she was dragged back to her courtyard and room by Yun Chujiu. Behind them was Yun Chushi, who followed them in an incredibly awkward fashion.
"Hey! I'm not following you, I'm just afraid that my big sister will be fooled by you!" Yun Chushi said arrogantly, but his face was suspiciously red.
Yun Chujiu cast him a glance, and there was a ghost of a smile on her lips. "Pfft! I'm a magnanimous person, so I will not lower myself to the level of arguing with you, brat! Aren't you filled with adoration for me now? Don't you think that I'm great?"
"Hmph! You're just a useless waste of space who can't practice cultivation. What's there about you that's worthy of my adoration? I just think you're pitiful!" Yun Chushi answered angrily.
'What an awkward brat!
'But seriously, it's a real problem that I can't practice cultivation in this space-time continuum!
'I don't know what the purple element is either.'
When dinner was served, Yun Chujiu's mind was immediately occupied by the delicious food, and the matter of cultivation was thrown to the wind.
"Hey, brat! The drumstick belongs to me!"
"Hmph! I picked it up first, Yun Chujiu. Release it!"
…..
While Yun Chujiu fought for her drumstick, Bai Moyu was being scolded in Bai Peng's study.
"Moyu, your performance today is really disappointing! Not only have you ruined the good reputation that we've painstakingly built over the years, but you were also led around like a fool by a piece of trash!" Bai Peng's expression was dark, a clear indication that he was incredibly displeased.
"Grandpa, it is true that I was careless today. Be that as it may, how did Yun Chujiu become so good with words when I clearly deceived her out of her Soul-Gathering Pill yesterday? It's truly strange!"
"Hmph! Stop trying to look for excuses! You're an elder brother, yet you can't even protect Rou'er! You're really useless!"
"Grandpa, what should we do now? Should we agree with Yun Chujiu's condition?" Although Bai Moyu was not happy with the fact that Bai Peng favored Bai Morou more, he did not dare show it on his face.
