Escaped Consort: Hubby, Don't Chase Me

Yao Sisi said exaggeratedly, "He … he was indeed very expensive. He was paid 90 taels of silver for three months." Yuan Bao covered his mouth as he said in astonishment, "Miss, are you sure he is worth so much?"

Shadow could no longer remain silent, and said violently, "Woman, when did I ever say I want your money?!"

Yuan Bao suddenly hugged Yao Sisi and jumped up, saying, "Miss, he said he doesn't want money, we can save some money once again." "I didn't expect you to think that you're worthless. Alright, since you're so self-aware, I won't use silver to insult you. I'll keep your salary. You're the one who took the initiative to take it. Don't say I didn't give you any money in the future."

"Are you sure you don't want to work? Miss, I think we should just give him a few taels of silver!" Yuan Bao looked at the silhouette with a face filled with sympathy.

"You … …" Shadow was in a dilemma. He gritted his teeth. Three months later, it wasn't too late for him to get revenge either. Obviously, he had been thinking too hard. Yao Sisi had already finished eating. She picked up two mouthfuls of rice and called out to the two of them. "What are you two still standing there for? Come here for dinner."

Yuan Bao happily ran over and sat down. Currently, she was already used to sitting together with her master to eat. Gradually, she stopped talking about being inferior to him. She didn't know if it was due to Yao Sisi's good education or due to her intimidation.

Shadow stood there motionlessly like a wooden stake, not even sparing Yao Sisi a glance.

Yao Sisi was getting a little angry. She picked up her bowl of rice and pushed it into a pile of dishes. Then, she walked up to Shadow and said aggressively, "You!" "Go and eat that tray of food for me, or else I'll say that you won't listen to me and will stay here for another month."

This time, Shadow did not retort again. She obediently turned around and started eating. This made Yao Sisi a little uncomfortable. She thought she had gone blind and had gone deaf.

The three of them ate their fill. After finishing their meal, Yao Sisi brought Shadow and Yuanbao over to the Fortai Bank to retrieve the two thousand taels of silver banknotes. Yao Sisi openly took out twenty pieces of the hundred faces and counted them loudly on the street, causing the surrounding people to look around at her.

Yuan Bao pulled on Yao Sisi's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, isn't this too flamboyant?"

Yao Sisi patted Yuan Bao on the head and said, "Nonsense, of course you're bragging."

"Then why are you still doing this?" Yuan Bao said carefully and subconsciously reached out to protect his head.

"You don't understand, right? Tell me, what did he come here for? Of course I want to test if he really has the ability to protect me. Otherwise, even if he gave me the money, I wouldn't accept it." As Yao Sisi spoke, her facial expression changed. She had successfully captured a second of her anger and gave the two hundred taels of silver to Shadow. "You can have the rest of the money. If you lose a point, I'll double your compensation!"

Yuan Bao held the silver notes, hesitantly holding the scalding sweet potato in his hands, not knowing what to do. He said, "Miss, you should keep this for yourself. Yuan Bao cannot afford it."

Yao Sisi was amused by Yuan Bao's joke and covered her mouth with her hands, "Hehe, I'm going to die from laughing. Yao Sisi was amused by Yuan Bao's joke and covered her mouth as she said," Hehe, it's going to kill me.

Yuanbao pushed it away, "Young miss, this is too much. I have already received great kindness from young miss, how can I take these? Moreover, a hundred taels is too much. It is enough for ordinary people to live a lifetime."

Yao Sisi said with a cold expression, "I told you to do what I told you to do. Why are you being so long-winded?" Yuan Bao knew Yao Sisi's character very well. He no longer refused to put the silver taels away in his arms, his eyes filled with gratitude.

At the side, Shadow had a subtle change in his opinion of Yao Sisi. Thankfully, he had concealed it well and no one had been able to see through it.

After walking a few steps further, they could see the Prime Minister's estate from a distance. Yao Sisi turned around and said to Ying Ying, "You should follow Yuan Bao to settle these two matters. I'll head back first. There's still an interesting auction in the afternoon. Do you remember to rush back to see me?" Having said so, Yao Sisi ran over. She wanted to quickly take a bath before lying down in her Warmth Pavilion to take an afternoon nap.

Yuan Bao looked at Yao Sisi's back as she left and muttered, "Miss, you're such a nice person."

"Let's go!" The silhouette remained expressionless as he replied. Yuanbao fearfully glanced at Shadow and nodded before heading in the opposite direction. Shadow followed him at a distance.

After the meal, many people began to arrive outside the Prime Minister's manor. Yao Sisi, who had originally wanted to take a rest, was also unable to sleep due to the ruckus outside.

She tossed and turned in her bed. Not only did she not sleep, but her entire body was covered in sweat. She simply got out of bed, took out a guqin, and began to play a song. She was even more glad that she had clenched her teeth and taken up two semesters of vocal music lessons, and had even bought a Jade Zither for a frugal meal. Otherwise, she really didn't know how to calm herself down.

Finally, the time had come for the young generation to arrive. The area outside the Prime Minister's estate was already packed with people, blocking off all paths. Under Shadow's lead, Yao Sisi and Yuanbao flew up to the outer wall of the mansion, loudly saying, "Welcome to the scene. I won't say much about this, I will directly tell it to everyone."

I still don't need five hundred pounds of ice cubes from the Ice Pavilion, and don't want to leave these empty until the next year either. The weather is getting hotter, and I also want to use this item to the fullest, so I summoned everyone here to bid on five hundred pounds of ice cubes.

Starting now, the starting price is 100 taels of silver.

"Two hundred taels!"

"Three hundred taels!"

"Seven hundred taels!"

The dozens of dignitaries in front, regardless of whether they were here for the ice or to curry favor with the Prime Minister's Estate, as long as they raised the price, Yao Sisi would be very happy. Seeing the people underground raise the price, she couldn't help but smile happily.

The ingot was also very happy. The stick in his hand was trembling as he said with a trembling voice, "Seven hundred taels once."

"Seven hundred silver twice."

"Seven hundred …"

A middle-aged man walked out from the crowd and shouted with a calm voice, "One thousand taels!"

The crowd instantly fell into silence. Yao Sisi was able to recognize the man who called out the bid with her sharp eyes. Soon, the others also recognized him. He was the famous Manager Cui of the Ice Pavilion.

"What the heck is this Inky Jade Ray doing? It must have been burned with a lot of money!" Although Yao Sisi was puzzled, she was still overjoyed. She pushed Yuan Bao and urged him in a low voice, "What are you waiting for? Hurry up and make the decision!"

"Oh!" The ingot came back to his senses, and he used the stick to hit the metal plate, "One thousand taels once."

"One thousand silver twice."

"A thousand taels three times." Congratulations to this person for obtaining five hundred Jin of ice cubes.

Yao Sisi handed the five coupons to Ying and indicated for him to pass them down to Manager Cui. Manager Cui quickly took out a note worth 1000 taels of silver and handed it to Ying. Then, he turned to the people present and said, "If this auction ever happens again, our Ice Pavilion will always be honest. If there is another one, the Ice Pavilion will punish him." All of a sudden, Yao Sisi gave up on the idea of auctioning the ice cubes.

This was the first time Ying Ying had seen Yao Sisi defeated, and the gloom in his heart was swept away. He knew that with the young master's style of dealing with matters, he would definitely take care of this matter of blatantly using ice cubes from the Ice Pavilion for a windfall. However, why was Manager Cui willing to pay a thousand silvers instead of confiscating it? He had never seen the young master like that before, but she started to worry. It seemed like the young master was still affected by her looks, no, he must finish her off as soon as possible last night in three months.
