[Debit Queen]

[Episode 3]

So you are the girl

Zilu brought back?

I am,

I suppose.

Are you asking me?

I'm asking you.

Mother.

She just came to our mansion.

She's not quite used to the life here yet.

Let her rest for a few days.

Stop there.

Now that you're here,

are you leaving without serving me a cup of tea?

Right, I'll serve you tea.

I know that.

Come on. Let me.

Thank you.

Mother, please have some tea.

Tell me the truth.

How long have you known my son?

Not long.

You're marrying him even though you haven't known him for long?

He asked me to marry him.

It's because I like him.

What do you like

about him?

I'm asking you.

In fact, I didn't like him a lot

at first.

He has a long face

and talks meanly.

He's full of evil ideas.

Everything about him is wrong,

and he's very stubborn.

But

I think

he has a very confident heart.

Although his own conditions

aren't very good,

he thinks he's great.

I was overwhelmed

by this unknowing confidence of his,

which swept me off my feet.

I just like this about him.

Mother.

I know you are not satisfied

with the wife I chose.

But I'm determined

to marry her.

No matter how much you don't like her,

please

respect my choice, Mother.

Did I say

I'm not satisfied with her?

Nice tea.

How could you get married like this?

You didn't go through the bridal process

or the wedding rites.

You didn't even hold a banquet.

Was she raised for nothing?

How could you marry her

so effortlessly?

It's a disgrace to our family.

Miss.

What's your name again?

Ling Se.

What a special name.

Miss Ling Se.

Is there something

my son holds over you,

so you had no choice but to marry him?

I know

my son very well.

He's indeed full of evil ideas.

He...

Of course not.

Zilu is very nice to me.

How could he possibly

hold anything over me?

If you say that, I don't buy it.

Since you entered the room,

I've noticed it.

You've been standing at least

1 meter away from my son.

It's obvious that you don't want to be near him.

Ling Se, I don't blame you.

If someone is to blame,

I should blame myself

for giving birth to such a disappointing son.

I let his dead father down.

It's not like that.

I mean it.

Look. Look.

Look.

We really love each other

and want to get married,

right?

Darling.

Mother, look.

What did you just call me?

Mother.

Come to me.

Come on.

Come to me.

Se.

I'll do you justice.

I'll make up for the wedding.

Also,

we'll hold a banquet and invite 10 or 20 tables of guests.

Our whole family will have some fun together.

Mother.

I don't think this is necessary.

Do you think anyone would care about

what you think?

It's settled then.

Mother.

I think maybe we should

drop the wedding.

Think about it.

It's both costly and troublesome.

Isn't it better if we save the money

for business?

Think about it.

The Xu family is

a prestigious family in Linchun City.

How can we let you marry into our family

without a wedding?

Besides,

I must get back the money

I gave other families as wedding gifts

over these years.

Also, this is an opportunity

for me to

vent my anger

about all the gossips I heard over the years.

Right.

You have to get the money back.

Ms. Jia.

Make arrangements already.

Let's do it today.

Today?

Where can we find the people

to prepare for the banquet and make wedding arrangements on such short notice?

Right, Mother.

This is too much trouble.

Let's forget about it.

I have someone in mind.

You do?

Mother.

I know someone

who specializes in holding banquets.

She's a fast worker,

and we can save a lot of money if we hire her.

Mother.

Just sit at the main table during the banquet.

Don't worry about anything.

Just drink.

I will

arrange it nicely.

That was close.

Luckily, I'm smart and cute,

and I managed to fool Old Madam.

Did you do it on purpose?

What did we agree on yesterday?

You said you wouldn't meddle in the Xu family's affairs.

But today, you egged my mother on

to hold a wedding banquet.

What's that about?

Young Master Xu, there's some misunderstanding here.

Your mother

wanted to hold this wedding very badly, right?

Besides,

I've already skipped

all the previous steps,

and we'll only need to hold a wedding banquet.

Or, do you want to go through

all the wedding rites?

Do you think I don't know

what you're thinking?

You just want money.

Young Master Xu,

what are you talking about?

Am I that kind of person

who thinks of nothing but money?

It's just your mother is an elder.

I only went with her flow.

Have you ever thought about

what would happen

if we got caught?

Do you still want the shop or not?

Of course I do.

Don't be angry.

I think your mother really

wants to witness you

have a grand wedding.

Although she seems to despise you,

she treats you really well.

To be honest, I envy you.

My mother

wouldn't be able to do the same.

Forget it.

I can't be bothered with this.

But from now on,

you mustn't do anything

without my permission.

You can't make any decision on your own.

Do you hear me?

Yes, I understand.

I'll take my leave if there's nothing else.

Look at me.

I forgot about the important thing.

Well,

I have a maid

who's still at the Ling Mansion.

Her name is Ping'er.

Without me there,

they'll definitely ill-treat her.

Young Master Xu.

Could you please

do me a favor and send someone

to bring her here?

Fuding.

What's wrong, Young Master?

Go to the Ling Mansion

and bring back

that maid of Young Madam's.

Ping'er.

But Old Madam

asked me to...

I'll send someone

to bring her back right away.

Sorry for the trouble.

Thank you.

I've come around.

Let's hold the wedding banquet.

But if we want to do it, we must make it great.

No problem.

I'm on it.

What do you want?

What now?

Young Master Xu.

Look, the protagonists of this wedding banquet

are you and me, right?

Shouldn't you

give me half of the money

you'll collect as wedding gifts?

At least wait until

you hold it successfully.

Rest assured! You'll be satisfied.

What about here?

Here.

Here.

It hurts here.

It hurts.

That's the right spot.

Old Madam.

Are you sure about the wedding banquet?

After all,

it's a life event for Young Master.

Shouldn't he marry

someone we know well about?

We must hold it.

That's for sure.

Otherwise, how can I make them

have no turning back from it?

Do you believe what they said?

Not even

a word.

Then why didn't you call their bluff on the spot?

That's what you don't understand.

I can tell that Ling Se

is not a simple girl.

There's something about her that refuses to admit defeat.

It's a perfect fix for Zilu's bad temper.

Look how

whimsical and lovely she is.

She reminds me of when I was young.

Based on my experience,

they are a perfect match.

They are born to be a quarrelsome but loving couple.

Aren't you a bit too optimistic?

Just wait and see.

Here. Here.

That feels good.

[Tao Mansion]

My Lady, why are you

wearing this hairpin with dangling coral beads today?

What day is today?

Today is my big day.

Today is the day

Zilu's going to propose to me.

Why didn't I hear

there's a matchmaker coming to our house?

What do you know?

Zilu told me about it yesterday.

We even talked about our married life.

Today is the last day

of our three-day appointment.

I'm sure he'll come.

No one

is good enough for Zilu except me.

Then I, Xiaohe, want to congratulate you.

Congratulations, My Lady.

Your dream has finally come true.

Am I beautiful?

Yes.

You are stunningly beautiful, My Lady.

When Young Master Xu

sees you later,

I'm sure he won't be able to take his eyes off of you.

Xiaohe.

Ask Hu Sibing to prepare a sedan.

We'll definitely need it later.

Yes, My Lady.

Mr. Tang, Mr. Tang.

Can you get me someone else?

There's no one else.

Young Master only gave me a few hours

to prepare for his wedding.

You should feel lucky that I found

someone idle for you.

But, Mr. Tang,

he's too scary-looking.

Don't worry.

You can't find another person

who's more gentle than him

in the Xu family.

Alright.

I'll leave him to you.

I'm busy.

Don't. Don't.

Mr. Tang. Mr. Tang.

Come... Come back...

Young Master asked you to run an errand.

Can you do it?

So you're not chasing me away.

I can do it.

Sorry, I...

I...

Young Master ordered you

to go to the Ling Mansion right away

and bring Young Madam's maid, Ping'er,

back.

You must bring her back.

Understand?

If the Ling family gives you a hard time,

don't you act like this.

Be tougher.

Young Master's order is

to bring her back.

Otherwise,

you know his temper.

No one will be able to survive until tomorrow.

I understand. I understand.

All the tableware used in today's banquet

must be made of the finest colored glaze.

Especially the main table,

which requires jade tableware.

This is the first time Young Master's getting married.

Make it as luxurious as possible.

Why should we use colored glaze and jade?

After drinking to late hours,

no one will be sober.

If the tableware gets broken, will you be responsible for it?

Just use the most ordinary tableware.

The cheaper, the better.

Who are you?

Hello.

I invited her here for banquet arrangements.

She's Ms. Liu.

Ms. Liu?

Young Master is

the richest man in Linchun City.

How can we let him use

the most ordinary porcelain?

First, there's not enough time.

Second,

what's the point of spending money

on these ornaments?

It's better to spend it on better food and drinks.

It's obviously unrealistic

for us to find a restaurant

that can prepare all the dishes.

We have to order each restaurant's specialty dish

and put them together to make a table.

If we delay any longer,

your guests will have to eat porridge.

Is... Is this appropriate?

Listen to her.

She's experienced.

Right.

The simpler, the better.

Don't be too extravagant.

What if I have a peaceful divorce

with your young master in the future?

It'll be a waste of money, right?

Young Madam.

Today is your wedding day.

You can't say things like that.

It's just an example.

Go back to work.

You can leave this to us.

All right, remove all these.

Yes.

You've got something up your sleeve.

I thought you never thought about it,

but you

got yourself the best husband.

Tell me.

When did you two hook up?

I didn't hook up with Xu Zilu.

Hook...

This is not what you think.

We have plenty of time.

I'll tell you about it in detail some other day.

Are you sure you can handle the banquet today?

Is there anything

I, Liu Yeniang, can't handle?

But I'm confused.

Why does a rich family like the Xu family

need to save money?

The budget is so tight.

Well,

didn't we agree that

we'll make money together?

Look.

I didn't forget about you when I'm saving money myself.

No problem.

But

make sure you take Young Master Xu

to my shop more often in the future.

This way,

I can look at Young Master Xu openly.

Alright.

I promise you'll see so much of him

that you'll get sick of him,

okay?

Get to work.

Step it up, all of you.

If you delay Young Master's wedding,

you won't be able to afford it.

Okay.

Be careful with these.

Don't break them.

Got it.

What the teacher taught us yesterday was so difficult.

Right.

Don't worry.

When Ling Shuo comes,

you'll know where Se is.

Ling.

What took you so long?

Ping'er?

Why are you here?

Do you know where Se is?

No.

I heard from my mother that

she wanted to sell Se,

so I told Se to run away.

She ran away?

So... Where did she go?

I don't know about that.

I'm sure Se is okay.

When she settles down,

she'll come find you.

By the way,

why are you two together?

I...

I met her

when we went to Fulai Inn together

for midnight wine

last night.

Midnight wine?

Everyone heard it, right?

He's the governor's son,

yet he deliberately broke the law.

He broke the curfew.

Shouldn't we go to his father

and ask for an explanation?

What?

Did you see it with your own eyes?

Look at you,

always poking your nose into others' business.

What does this have to do with you?

You talked about the midnight wine yourself.

What?

You dare not admit it even though you did it?

I...

Wait.

Why is drinking midnight wine

equivalent to breaking the curfew?

It's called midnight wine

because it's a midnight drink.

What a silly girl.

Why don't you know anything?

Young Master.

That is not what midnight wine means.

The ancients said, "When I drink midnight wine on the lake,

the west wind blows past me."

That's right.

The ancients would use midnight wine

to refer to promising young people

who were depressed

and drowned their sorrows at home.

There was a drunkard in the previous dynasty

named Jun Jinzhi.

He often drank and wrote poetry

with his friends, who were also his schoolmates.

When they parted,

he'd gift them the wine he brewed himself,

which was named "midnight wine".

So, the midnight wine we drink now

refers to

the wine brewed by Jun Jinzhi,

which is unique flavored.

It's now also very popular

among the royal families of

Beichen and Yanyun State.

Ping'er.

You even know that?

You're amazing.

Isn't this common sense?

Come on, let's go.

Come on.

Young Master!

-What a shame. -Young Master!

Great news!

Old Master asked you to go back

and attend your sister's wedding.

-Wedding? -Wedding?

Who's Miss Ling Se marrying?

I don't know.

You don't know?

Let's go!

Let's go!

My Lady! My Lady!

Someone from the Xu family is here.

He brought us a wedding invitation.

Zilu is so straightforward.

He even

got this prepared.

The Xu family sent someone

to deliver this wedding invitation,

saying the wedding banquet will be held this afternoon.

Why in such a hurry?

It's just that...

The bride is someone else.

What?

The bride is Ling Se.

That's impossible.

My Lady, don't be sad.

Young Master Xu is not lucky enough to marry you.

It must be this vulgar wench

who played dirty tricks.

I'm the one

who Zilu should be marrying.

My Lady!

Floral umbrellas for sale!

Umbrellas for sale!

Take a look at the floral umbrellas!

Small pendants!

Come and take a look.

I just got kicked out.

I'd better not go in.

I'll wait for you at the gate.

I'll wait here with you.

Okay.

I'll go in and figure it out.

I'll be right out.

-Wait for me here. -Okay.

Wait for me.

Okay.

The Xu family sent someone here again?

Are they delivering us more betrothal gifts?

I'm not sure, but he said

he was sent here by Young Master Xu.

Let him come in.

Ask some servants

to help move those things.

Young Master Xu is really decent.

Yes.

He's here.

My Lord.

This is the person sent by the Xu family.

Well,

is there anything else

Young Master Xu wants to tell us about?

Young Master asked me

to bring Young Madam's maid,

Ping'er, back to our mansion.

Where is she?

Bring her here.

Get her here now!

My Lord.

Ping'er

was kicked out yesterday.

Father.

Who are you planning to kick out?

Well...

There are many maids in our mansion.

Can you take someone else?

Young Master said

I must take Ping'er back today.

If I can’t,

you guys

won't be able to survive until tomorrow.

Why does the Xu family

have to take Ping'er away?

Well,

anyway, it's Young Master's order.

Young Madam has married into the Xu family,

so she's a member of the Xu family.

Her maid is, too.

You...

The Xu family

is too domineering.

I don't care.

Today,

either I take her back with me,

or

I won't leave here!

Wang!

-Ling Shuo. -Wang!

Did you find it out?

Who is it?

This is bad. It's Xu Zilu.

Xu Zilu?

Why would Xu Zilu get married?

Why would Miss Ling Se

marry Xu Zilu?

It's true.

Someone from the Xu family is in there right now.

He's asking them to hand over Ping'er.

He's so imposing that

it's like he wants to cut you into pieces.

Did you and Ling Se

offend Xu Zilu?

Miss Ling Se and Xu Zilu

did have

a little conflict.

But he can't be that petty.

He actually can.

Xu Zilu

is just petty like this.

No, this won't do.

It's like Miss Ling Se

is in a wolf den right now.

I have to go save her.

Wait!

You can't defeat him alone.

Let's go together.

Let's go together.

Let's go.

Let's go.

Congratulations.

[Xu Mansion]

Please come in.

Congratulations.

Please come in.

Please come in.

Congratulations.

Hello.

Mr. Xu.

Are you here to have some alone time?

Don't worry.

I've sent all your naggy relatives away

for you.

No one will come to bother you.

Aren't you human?

You're indeed sharp-tongued.

If it weren't for the fact that

you are my boss,

I wouldn't put up with this.

This is for you. It's free.

What is it?

Gloves.

They'll come in handy

when we set up a stall in the market.

Those bought outside don't fit our hands.

These were hand made by me.

Look how comfortable they are.

Since we're putting on an act

in front of Old Madam,

it's inevitable for us to have

physical contact.

You dislike it, right?

If there's an emergency,

you can put on these gloves.

It should be better

with gloves and clothes between us.

I don't want it.

Just take it.

Mr. Xu.

Don't you think

I'm considerate?

Don't you think it's time

to give me

my half of the wedding gift money?

When did I say

I'll share the wedding gift money with you?

Didn't you agree to it this morning?

Is it in the agreement?

The venue was provided by the Xu family,

and we invited all the guests.

We also bore

all the expenses.

Why should I share the money with you?

I...

All right.

Just for the sake of

me working all morning.

I should at least earn rewards for effort,

if not achievement, right?

Let's split it 40/60, okay?

Please.

Congratulations.

Mrs. Li.

Please come in.

Thank you.

Okay.

Miss Tao, why are you here alone...

Miss Tao. Miss Tao.

Miss Tao!

What's that about?

Zilu!

Why are you...

Stop.

We love each other.

Why did you

suddenly marry someone else?

Did someone force you?

Help me.

I don't think helping you get rid of other women

is in the agreement.

50/50.

Please calm down, Miss Tao.

You brat.

I haven't got the opportunity to get even with you.

If you hadn't

showed up there that day,

why would Zilu

have proposed to you?

For one thing, you're not as pretty as me.

Yes.

Secondly, you're not as knowledgeable as me.

Right.

Thirdly, you're not as rich as me.

Right.

So who are you to compete with me?

Miss Tao.

I also think

you are a better match

for your dear Zilu.

So why did you marry him, knowing I'm a better match for him?

Are you mocking me?

I wouldn't dare.

I know you're sad

that Xu Zilu got married.

How about this?

Wait for him to have a peaceful divorce.

I promise you won't have to wait long.

I mean it.

Shut up!

You brat.

Why are you talking so viciously?

You stole Zilu from me.

Either you die or I live today.

So I'll die anyway.

You really hit me?

Stop there!

Don't come over!

Stop!

Guys. Guys.

Where's Xu Zilu?

Where's your invitation?

Why do I need an invitation to see Xu Zilu?

Move!

Young Master.

Someone broke in!

Se!

She's inside.

You go first. Hurry.

You can't go in!

Se!

I'm here to save you, Se!

My Lady!

Where are you?

You can't go in, Young Master.

You can't go in.

Se, I...

You can't go in.

What are you doing?

My Lady!

You can't go in.

-You can't go in! -Let go of me!

Guards!

What are you doing?

Guards! Help!

How dare you stop me?

What are you doing?

Let go of me!

How dare you stop me?

You can't go in!

Stop!

I'm sorry!

Don't hit me! Don't hit me!

You wench!

Where is Eldest Miss Ling?

Tell me!

Where is Eldest Miss Ling?

Tell me!

I don't know!

I'm here!

My Lady!

Ping'er.

You've suffered.

We'll take you away immediately.

Wait.

Se!

Are you okay?

You've smashed so many things.

How can I be okay?

You,

don't be afraid.

We're here to save you.

What's going on?

What happened?

Xu!

Let go of my sister!

Wang Zhujue.

If I didn't know you well,

I'd think

you love me so much

that you came to cause trouble at my wedding.

Nonsense!

Don't you talk nonsense,

slander me, or accuse me of something when you're the one to blame.

Listen,

let that girl go.

Otherwise, when my father comes,

you'll be punished for abducting a woman.

Even if Zilu abducted someone,

it wouldn't be someone like her.

Are you looking down on him?

Why are you everywhere?

I won't bother to explain to you.

I advise you to

turn yourself in right now.

Otherwise,

don't blame me for being rude.

Bring it on.

Bring it on.

This is a misunderstanding.

It's all a misunderstanding.

Calm down.

Xu Zilu

didn't kidnap me.

We are faking...

Faking?

I mean, our story is about a talented man falling in love with a pretty lady at first sight.

We truly wanted

to get married,

right?

Did you hear that?

We fell in love at first sight.

Say that again.

I fell in love with her at first sight,

and I was determined to marry no one but her.

You all treat me so badly.

I hate you!

This...

Don't you think you went too far?

How would she give up

if I don't treat her a bit cruelly?

Miss.

Tell me the truth.

Were you kidnapped here by him?

Don't be afraid.

My father is Governor Wang.

He will do you

justice.

I...

Right, My Lady.

What happened exactly?

Ling Shuo said

you were captured here.

Right, Se.

I heard it myself that

the Xu family sent someone to our mansion

to capture Ping'er.

Ling Shuo!

Are you out of your mind?

I jumped

onto Xu Zilu's sedan myself.

I was the one who asked Xu Zilu

to bring Ping'er here.

Aren't you aware

how much I could possibly be worth?

Kidnapping?

You're so good at making up stories.

You're wasting your talent, going to school.

Also,

Ping'er is such a glutton.

Who would want her?

I'm not that much of a glutton, am I?

Se.

I didn't mean it.

So, My Lady,

why didn't you inform me immediately

if you were all right?

Do you know how worried I was?

Ping... Ping'er...

I was in a hurry to run away yesterday.

I... I forgot about you.

It turns out you forgot about me.

Well, I didn't...

Ping'er.

It's not like that.

Let me explain!

My dear Ping'er.

Please forgive me.

I will never forget about you again

at the sight of money.

Look.

I specially saved this roast chicken for you.

The chef of Yuerong Restaurant made it.

It'll be cold if you don't eat it now.

I'll only take one bite.

No problem.

Have some meat.

Is it good?

Yes.

Let me give you a massage.

Don't be angry.

Don't do it again.

I promise.

It won't happen again.

Your birthday gift.

Although it's one day late.

Did you make this yourself?

So cute.

From now on,

keep all your money in it.

I made the lining with tarpaulin.

It's waterproof.

Ping'er, you're so nice.

Someone said to me that

she wouldn't get married and she'd rely on herself,

but she got married in a blink of an eye.

I won't believe any of your word

from now on.

It's not like that, Ping'er.

Actually, I shouldn't tell anyone

about this.

But you're not anybody else.

So I'll tell you.

The marriage between Xu Zilu and me

is fake.

I'm only getting married for money.

It's fake?

Keep it down.

Xu Zilu and I have an agreement.

As long as I can stay

in the Xu Mansion for a year,

he will return my old shop

to me.

What do you think?

Isn't it a great deal?

Why would such a good thing

happen to you?

It sounds weird.

You silly girl.

What nonsense are you talking about?

What's weird about it?

Xu Zilu has promised me

that as long as I stay in the Xu Mansion for a year,

not only will he return the shop to us,

but he'll also give us another 500 taels.

By then,

we'll be able to

live it up.

By the way,

look.

I have the agreement here.

It's written in black and white.

[Agreement]

You call this an agreement?

Yes.

What do you think?

Didn't I get myself

a good deal?

But this is obviously a seven-character regulated verse.

Seven-character regulated verse?

What? You know that

I can't read.

But I know

this is the character "One".

"Two golden orioles sing amid the willows green."

"A flock of white egrets flies into the blue sky."

Fly into the blue sky?

"The yellow crane left and will not come back in any way."

"The white clouds float in the sky for a thousand years and more."

What does that mean?

I think

what he means is that

you'll lose

what you want eventually.

In the end,

it's all in vain.

You brat, Xu Zilu.

How dare you lie to me?

I'll send you to the sky right now!

You must have had

a lot of drinks today, Young Master.

Why don't you go to bed?

I'll come back tomorrow.

It's okay. I'm waiting for someone.

Okay, Young Master.

Also, the pepper needed in the fragrance

must be delivered to the perfume shop

by the middle of next month.

Otherwise, it will affect the delivery date.

I don't think the Tao family will be able to make it.

I'll figure something out.

Profiteer!

Profiteer!

You crooked, evil...

Young Madam.

So the one you're waiting for is Young Madam, Young Master.

I’ll take my leave then.

You knew I was coming?

When you said your maid

could read and write this morning,

I knew it.

In that case,

tell me, what do you mean?

Say something! Are you mute?

It's not safe to have an agreement about this.

But don't worry about the content of the agreement.

I won't break my promise.

You even gave me a fake agreement.

Do you think I'll believe what you said?

So what do you want me to do?

Sign a new agreement with me

right away,

and give me the wedding gift money.

Okay.

Let's take this opportunity

to balance today's accounts.

What accounts?

The housekeeper just delivered the wedding gift money list.

Didn't we agree that

we'll split the wedding gift money

50/50?

Let's balance the accounts

so that I can give you the money.

You can't be so nice.

What kind of person

do you think I am?

Not counting physical gifts,

the wedding gift money alone

is 811 taels.

That much?

Are you really giving it to me?

Mr. Xu.

I didn’t know you

well enough.

I'll reflect on myself as soon as I get home.

What a money-grubber.

You think you can beat me this way?

What do you mean?

Don't be so anxious.

This is just the interest.

The principal hasn't been included.

The principal?

The cost?

There were 15 tables of guests in total.

According to Ms. Liu,

the dishes were ordered from the top restaurant in the city.

It cost about

five taels per table.

Five taels?

What dishes did you order?

How could it cost five taels per table?

I told you it’s a top restaurant.

Under normal circumstances, you can't eat there

even if you have money.

Besides,

this is already the price after 50% off.

Indeed rich and willful.

You don't care about quality as long as it's expensive.

Are all rich people brainless?

If you don't believe me,

you can check the receipt yourself.

Okay.

Forget it.

It's just 75 taels, isn't it?

Even if you include that,

there should be 700 taels left.

How do you want to pay me, Mr. Xu?

I'm not done yet.

The decorations and setting of the tables,

the food and drinks, as well as the invitations sent out

all cost money.

I'll give you a discount.

Let's say it's 27 taels.

You...

Ms. Liu asked for 3.8 taels.

I'll round it down for you as 30 taels in total.

Yeniang?

Didn't she say she was only here to help,

and she wouldn't charge anything?

That's not what she told me.

How dare you, Liu Yeniang?

Just you wait.

I'll give it to you.

Also,

your maid and brother

were here for you, right?

The things they smashed

will be paid for with the wedding gift money.

Do you have any objections?

Ling Shuo.

If it weren't for the fact that I couldn't hit you now,

I would have peeled

your skin off!

You are indeed a profiteer.

Cut the crap.

I want cash.

Those items your brother broke

were worth a lot.

Plus, he hit someone and caused injuries.

He must pay for the medical expenses, cost of lost labor,

and the consolation money.

All of the costs above

add up to

921 taels.

I won't charge you for

the flowers and plants you ruined

and the servants' overtime pay.

I'll cover it for you.

Also, I'll round it down for you.

It'll be 900 taels.

Therefore,

you can get...

45 taels.

Minus!

Your arithmetic is not bad.

The hell not bad!

You are blackmailing me!

I have no choice.

When you pay me back the money,

we can talk about the agreement.

Xu Zilu.

Do you think you're the only one who knows how to scheme?

Don't forget that I still have something

against you in my hands.

Do you believe

I'll make it public

that our marriage is fake?

Let me remind you.

We just had our wedding.

Now, everyone in the city knows that

I married you officially.

You also told everyone that

you were willing to marry me.

If you tell them now that

our marriage was arranged,

do you think anyone will believe you?

No wonder you suddenly changed your mind

about holding the banquet.

You're so cunning.

Same to you.

You also plotted against me.

Don't worry.

There's no turning back

for me.

It's no good for me to lie to you.

Just accept it.

Accept it?

The hell I'll accept it!

Just you wait!
