The Anarchic Consort [ Chapter 1 - 199 ]

Chapter 140: Setting the Engagement

When Helian Wei Wei woke up again, it was already noon. Third Prince was just sitting by the window drinking tea. His appearance was neither urgent nor slow and seemed as if he was waiting for her to wake up so they could continue on their journey.

He was feverish for several days. How could he have recovered in only one day, unless he had previously been a member of the special forces.

Wei Wei had never seen anyone have such a tough recuperative ability.

However, she also didn’t mind this at all. She stretched her body while still lying down and looked at Baili Jia Jue, then unhurriedly laughed cleverly. “Since Your Highness is better, then let’s discuss the matter of the medical fee.”

Baili Jia Jue didn’t speak and only raised his eyebrows while he looked at her. He languidly leaned against the wood chair as his pair of legs contentedly propped up slightly. His manner was imposing and purely noble, not one bit like the appearance of someone who had been wounded.

Wei Wei’s empty hand took out a small abacus from the Celestial Boundary Space as she ‘tap tap tap’ moved the beads. “Ten taels for each mouthful of poisonous blood. I sucked about seven mouthfuls. One small scale operation no matter what should be worth eighty taels. In addition, an entire night of wiping the body to reduce the fever, I’ll charge you only one hundred taels. The other miscellaneous expenses also adds up to ten taels. Altogether, that adds up to 180 taels.” Calculating everything up to here, she knitted her long, shapely eyebrows. “One hundred eighty taels? How come I feel like something’s not right. Oh, that’s right, I even fed Your Highness a medicinal pill. I’ll charge you twenty taels for that pill, to make it even.” While she dropped these words, without waiting for the man to respond, her pair of spotlessly white slender hands extended towards him. “The total is two hundred taels of silver. Please settle the account, Your Highness.”

Baili Jia Jue looked at the delicate fingers before his eyes. The surpassingly dark pupils hidden in depth looked up. The sun’s brilliant rays seemed to all fall inside his pair of slender bedroom eyes, resplendent and moving.

Two hundred taels? This woman really dared to open her mouth wide like a lion’s.

He lifted his eyelid and scanned over the simple silver abacus in Wei Wei’s hand as he spoke levelly. “Are you short on money?”

Once she heard these words, Wei Wei then felt that there was hope in getting the silver as she nodded her head with an excited smile.

Baili Jia Jue calmly put down the tea cup in his hand. “How about the silver that This Highness won from you. That seemed to be more than two hundred taels.”

“Is Your Highness planning to settle those accounts?” Wei Wei’s limpid eyes looked at him. “That’s a different matter.”

Baili Jia Jue studied her. After a while, his cold thin lips slightly curved. “Did you really not know, or are you pretending not to know.”

“What?” Wei Wei had always felt that Third Prince, this person, only existed to make fun of her IQ.

Baili Jia Jue’s pair of eyes were chilly and clear. “Within War Dragon Empire, after marriage, all properties are managed according to the wife and children.”

The hand that Wei Wei extended paused. Third Prince meant to say that in the future, his money would be managed by her?

She had no choice but to say that sometimes, there’s just something cute about a Third Prince who didn’t care about fame and fortune!

Wei Wei again retrieved the abacus and paused before she raised her head to ask. “Reportedly, there are a lot of treasures within Ghost Palace, is that true?”
