Chapter 132 It’s best if there is no financial involvement between us!
"..."
When Lin Acai asked this question, others didn't react, but Bai Jing was scared to death.
I thought to myself, My Lord, why do you have to bring up this matter of bone-setting?
The royal sister just stared at Bai Jing and said, "You still say you don't know, but your expression clearly says you know everything!"
Bai Jing was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water. He swallowed his saliva without saying a word.
"...The watering scoop you used for watering the flowers in your yard was blown away by the wind. I saw that it had cracked and could not be used anymore, so I took the initiative to pick out so many watering scoops for you today. You can see that there are all kinds of big and small ones. This should be enough for you, Cai, to water the flowers for a while."
"Prince Xiao... is really... thoughtful!" Lin Acai gritted her teeth at the words.
Even the little Tang Xin who had been hiding in her arms without saying a word was shocked, "Mom...do you have a toothache again?"
"..."
"Don't worry, Tangxin. Mommy is fine. The toothache will heal in a while."
"Mom, can you give me some massage later, please?"
"it is good……"
Ever since little Tangxin grew up day by day, Lin Acai felt that this child was extremely caring. She had gone through so much trouble to carry her for ten months and give birth to her, which was really the best thing she had ever done in her life.
It would really be better if this old man didn't get in her way and come out to mess things up.
Soon, they came to a pork stall. After Lin Acai picked some pork neatly, she asked Yu Jie to come forward and pay the money.
Bai Jing was extremely envious standing by. Look, look, the girl was so careful. She was not like him and his young master, who didn't even bring enough money to buy a watering can.
"Mom...can you buy a roast chicken to take back?" Tangxin looked at Bai Jing's lonely look, and suddenly her little head turned, and she thought of something.
"Tangxin, do you want to eat roast chicken?" Roast chicken is too greasy. Lin Acai usually would never buy it for her little daughter.
Could it be that when she went to the clinic to see patients, her cheap father and elder brother secretly bought it for the child?
No, she would have to talk to them about it later. They couldn't always feed Tang Xin with such greasy food.
"Mom, go buy one for Tang Xin~"
"Okay...Mom will go buy a roast chicken for Xiao Tangxin." After saying that, Lin Acai turned around and looked at Yu Jie, who immediately understood and ran into the roast chicken shop.
After a while, when he came out with a paper bag of roast chicken, Bai Jing's eyes became hot.
Suddenly I feel that the maid of the royal sister is not so annoying anymore.
But after a while, this feeling disappeared without a trace.
Lin Acai called the royal sister over and gave her a few instructions. Then, she came to Bai Jing and asked unhappily, "Mr. Bai, how much did the water scoop in the backpack cost?"
"I spent eight taels of silver...what's wrong?" Bai Jing was confused by the question and told everyone the cost of the water ladle. Xiao Jue winked at him from the side, but it was of no use and he didn't stop him.
My Lord, I was wrong!
I was so wrong!!!
When he finally realized what was happening and looked into the eyes of the prince, he regretted it so much that he wanted to slap himself twice.
"Sister! Give Guard Bai eight taels of silver."
"Okay girl!"
The master and servant sang the same tune, and almost made Xiao Jue vomit blood in anger.
He is the son of Marquis Jingyuan, and he is arguing about these eight taels of silver in public. Isn't this a slap in his face?
No, he was so angry that his chest felt suffocated!
He needs to take it slow.
"Why don't you take it? Eight taels of silver. I just counted it. Take it quickly." The royal sister stood there and handed it over for a long time, but Bai Jing didn't reach out to take it.
How dare he answer it!
This is not just eight taels of silver, it is clearly a hot potato.
"A Cai! Why are you doing this? A mere eight taels of silver is nothing compared to how you saved me from danger in Xinghua Village. Hurry up and have your maid take it back!"
"Prince Xiao...I don't like to owe others, so you'd better accept the silver."
Seeing Lin Acai's determined look, Xiao Jue suddenly changed the subject and tried his best to persuade her: "Acai...have you forgotten that you haven't received the twenty taels of silver I promised to give you in Xinghua Village, so you don't have to give me these eight taels of silver."
"...That makes sense." Lin Acai pondered for a moment, "Then Master Xiao, please return the remaining twelve taels of silver as soon as possible. It would be best if there is no financial dispute between the two of us."
Xiao Jue choked when he heard the words, and swallowed back the words that were about to agree.
Lin Acai seemed to be unwilling to give in, and she would not stop until Xiao Jue was pissed to death: "I told you, Master Xiao, you are not so naive as to think that a few ladles of water can make me willingly marry you, right? That's ridiculous!"
Finished!
The prince will not be able to sleep when he goes back home tonight.
My poor prince...
It was a hot day, but after hearing these words, Xiao Jue felt a chill in his heart.
He seemed to be standing alone on the top of a snowy peak, and all he could see was a vast expanse of white with no end in sight.
The emperor only gave him one month. How on earth was he going to marry this woman who looked at him with disgust back to the Marquis of Jingyuan's Mansion?
He is so difficult!
In the irritable air, there were waves of disturbing cicada chirping.
At this moment, a big question suddenly popped up in the little girl's head, "Mom?...Are you going to marry uncle?"
"..."
This child is so young, how come she can understand everything?
Lin Acai rubbed the back of her little girl's head and deliberately stood a little further away from Xiao Jue and the others before explaining with confidence:
"Tangxin...Mother will never marry. Mother will always stay by our Tangxin's side and take care of her, okay?"
"Oh..." Hearing this, Xiao Tangxin was not happy at all, but felt a little disappointed.
"Sugarheart...what's wrong with you?"
"All the other kids have dads, except Tangxin. Tangxin also wants a dad and a mom? Where is Tangxin's dad? Why doesn't he want Tangxin and mom anymore?"
Children's words are the most innocent. At this moment, Lin Acai stood there woodenly, unable to say a word.
For the first time, she felt a little guilty about this little life.
She ignored her feelings and let her passively lose her father.
Is it really right for her to do this?
"Don't be sad, Tang Xin. Daddy doesn't want to abandon Tang Xin. When we get home, I'll let Tang Xin meet Daddy, okay?"
"Really? Mommy? You're so nice!" Children are like this. Sometimes they are happy, sometimes sad, and sometimes they look like little adults with a face full of worries.
"Hey? Dad, look over there, isn't that the general?"
In the crowd, a father and son were carrying large and small bags of various mountain products and looking towards the distance.
