Han Yunxi had always been firm. The only thing that could shake her heart was Long Fei Ye's every word and action. She was the only one in the world who knew that a cold person like Long Fei Ye would look forward to having a child so much.
He was high and mighty, and his wealth was comparable to a country's. He could get whatever he wanted. She really couldn't give him much.
Seeing that Han Yunxi didn't say anything, Mu Ling 'er scolded her, "Your legs haven't even recovered. You've been so busy these days that you can't even take care of your meals. How can you still be pregnant? If you really want to have a child, you should get rid of that Bai guy as soon as possible! You should settle the grudge between East and Western Qin! You can have as many children as you want! "
"Sis, even if you can hold on for ten months, what about after the child is born?" Mu Ling 'er asked again.
Perhaps after ten months, East and Western Qin would be reconciled, and the world would be at peace. Long Fei Ye would be able to accompany her to enjoy the joy of a family reunion.
Perhaps it wouldn't even take ten months. Soon, East and Western Qin would be at war. Everything would be unpredictable. What about the child? Would they continue to hide and hide, or would they become the target of public criticism, or would they become something that both sides would fight over?
"Sis, you don't even know martial arts. You're always a burden to Long Fei Ye. Can you guarantee that if you have a child, you won't be a burden to Long Fei Ye? He's got a lot of guts on his shoulders. "
Mu Ling 'er had said everything she could, but Han Yunxi remained silent. Mu Ling 'er seemed impulsive and reckless, but her heart was more delicate than anyone else's. If it weren't for this delicate heart, she would probably have been tortured to death by Gu.
Mu Ling 'er knew that Han Yunxi understood what she said. It would be difficult for her to convince Han Yunxi. She hesitated for a moment and said one last sentence, "Sis, you and I are both motherless children. You should understand."
These words were like a knife that gouged Han Yunxi's heart.
Not only did she not have a mother, she didn't even have a father! Ever since he was young, he had longed for stability and companionship. She had suffered the hardships of being homeless, lonely, and helpless, so she hoped to give her child the best of everything.
Responsibility didn't start from the moment she had children, but from the moment she decided to give them life.
Han Yunxi still didn't say anything. She lowered her eyes, pushed the wheel, and slowly went out.
Mu Ling'er didn't chase after her. She looked at Han Yunxi's receding figure, and her heart ached for no reason.
Han Yunxi, what kind of decision did you make?
After Han Yunxi left Ning Jing's courtyard, she immediately went to the Elders Guild. Although her face was full of fatigue, her eyes were clear and firm, sharp and spirited, as if all the troubles and contradictions had never existed.
"Fifth Elder, Kangan Private Bank will send someone over to sign the secret agreement later. When the time comes, you'll sign the agreement on behalf of Myriad Merchant Hall. Prepare well tonight and release the news early tomorrow morning. Remember to inform the auction house and prepare to write something, so that when the auction opens tomorrow, we can warm up the place, "Han Yunxi instructed seriously.
"Princess plans to travel?" Head Elder asked curiously.
"Mm, we can't delay the matter at the casino. Uncle Cheng is right. If East Origin Hall gets ahead of us, we won't be able to do anything! Uncle Cheng and I will make a trip. You should come with us. If we can agree on the price, we'll get it done today! "Han Yunxi said.
"This price of five hundred million is really …" Head Elder still felt the pinch for the money.
Uncle Cheng, who had been silent all this time, immediately spoke up, "Head Elder, if you continue to hesitate, we might as well not go. Let East Origin Hall buy it, and then you'll regret it!"
Head Elder glanced at him, but didn't say anything.
Uncle Cheng continued, "If Master Ning was here, he wouldn't hesitate for so long!"
These words made everyone sigh with emotion. Ning Cheng was famous for being decisive, and indeed wouldn't hesitate. If Ning Cheng, the Clan Head, was here, the Council of Elders wouldn't have to take such a huge risk.
"If Master Ning isn't here, then it's fine as long as the Princess is! It's the same for the Princess to decide on this matter! "When Fifth Elder said this, Head Elder was even more speechless.
Han Yunxi didn't say much either. After agreeing on a time with Uncle Cheng and Head Elder, she returned to her room to catch up on sleep.
Uncle Cheng had prepared everything. Seeing that it was still early, he planned to go to the auction house to take a look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he stepped out of Myriad Merchant Hall, someone wrapped an arm around his neck from behind.
"Who's there?"
Uncle Cheng was about to retaliate, but the person behind him warned him Coldly, "Uncle Cheng, why don't you try and hit me? I'll immediately tell Han Yunxi that you were looking for me! "
"Jin Zi!" Uncle Cheng was shocked. He had been so busy with the casino that he had neglected this guy. He said in a low voice, "Do you think Han Yunxi will believe you?"
"Of course she won't believe me, but she will believe the three manservants in my hands!" Deacon Jin lowered his head, his fine bangs covering his eyes. His eyes couldn't be seen, but the slight curve of his lips was cold and malicious. "Han Yunxi has been looking for those three manservants for a long time."
Uncle Cheng was finally shocked. Those three manservants were the ones he had sent to smash up the casino! Didn't he give them money to leave Three-Way Black Market? How did they end up in Deacon Jin's hands?
"Jin Zi, let me go, and I'll give you your indenture agreement right now," Uncle Cheng said seriously.
Deacon Jin laughed loudly. "Indenture agreement? What do I need it for? Let me tell you, if Myriad Merchant Hall doesn't help me pay off my debt to Kangan Private Bank, I'm not done with you! "
Where was Uncle Cheng going to take out more than three hundred million to pay off his debt? Deacon Jin knew Uncle Cheng very well, so he wanted Uncle Cheng to persuade Han Yunxi and the Elders Guild to help him pay off his debt.
However, Uncle Cheng knew that Han Yunxi would never help Deacon Jin pay off his debt. Uncle Cheng knew Deacon Jin too well. Deacon Jin looked calm, but he was actually an extremely vicious character. If this matter wasn't settled, he would never have a day of peace.
Uncle Cheng hesitated for a moment, then said in a low voice, "Give me two days. I'll go out for a while and come back to help you pay off your debt."
Deacon Jin laughed coldly. "Uncle Cheng, are you going out to get money?"
"Han Yunxi and Head Elder are going to buy two gardens. I have a way to get some money. There's more than two hundred and fifty million. Adding my savings, it's enough to pay off your debt," Uncle Cheng said seriously.
"Why should I believe you?" Deacon Jin asked in return.
"You can choose not to believe me. If you go find Han Yunxi right now, I won't have a good time. You … won't have a good time either!" Uncle Cheng said Coldly.
Deacon Jin hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he let Uncle Cheng go. He wasn't afraid that Uncle Cheng would run away, so he would trust him this time.
He said, "Alright, pay off your debt first. We'll talk about the indenture agreement later!"
Although Uncle Cheng nodded, a cold glint flashed through his eyes. Once he got his hands on those three servants, how could he let Deacon Jin off? Was this brat tired of living to behave so atrociously in Myriad Merchant Hall's territory?
Han Yunxi only caught up on an hour's sleep before decisively getting out of bed. She washed her face to wake herself up, then set off immediately.
Uncle Cheng and garden owner Jia Dai had arranged to meet at South Jue Garden, which was close to Three-Way Black Market. They arrived in less than two hours.
Entering South Jue Garden's side gate, they sat on a palanquin and were carried by servants for a long distance before arriving at a courtyard. There was a pavilion in the courtyard that was very imposing. Jia Dai was at the bottom of the pavilion, welcoming them.
This Jia Dai was about fifty years old. He had a grizzled goatee and was dressed in a black robe. He was low-key and steady, giving off the impression that his background wasn't simple.
"Old Master Jia, this is my master, Madam Han." Uncle Cheng only introduced Han Yunxi, while First Elder disguised himself as a servant.
Jia Dai smiled and bowed. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he invited them upstairs. When they entered the teahouse, Jia Dai found an opportunity to replace his knees with two fingers and kneel in front of Han Yunxi. He then said, "Madam Han, please forgive our humble tea for not serving you well."
"Old Master Jia is too courteous," Han Yunxi replied politely to show that she knew what was going on.
After a few cups of tea, Uncle Cheng said, "Old Master Jia, my master agreed to the price you mentioned last time. I wonder if today …"
Before Uncle Cheng could finish, Jia Dai interrupted, "Aiya, that price … Sigh, to be honest, you're a step too late."
"What's going on?" Han Yunxi pretended to be anxious, but First Elder was really anxious.
"Someone came early this morning to put down a deposit. To be honest, the buyer is very generous. He offered six hundred million taels in one go. He wants both gardens, "Jia Dai said with a chuckle.
"Six hundred million?" First Elder couldn't help but cry out.
Uncle Cheng kept winking at Jia Dai. Jia Dai finally looked at him and then stepped on his foot under the table.
Uncle Cheng immediately understood what was going on. This Jia Dai must be testing Han Yunxi to raise the price. Thinking of this, Uncle Cheng knew what he should do.
He asked, "Old Master Jia, you're not being kind! We agreed on five hundred million taels. "
"Master Cheng, last time I reminded you that there were already people who had their eyes on my two gardens. You didn't put down a deposit at that time, so you can't blame me for this!" Jia Dai said confidently.
First Elder glanced at Han Yunxi. He was clearly anxious.
Only East Origin Hall could afford six hundred million taels. Since East Origin Hall was so decisive, it meant that these two gardens were indeed valuable! If East Origin Hall really used them to open a casino, then it would be just as Uncle Cheng said. Myriad Merchant Hall should never have any ideas about casinos in the future.
"Jia Laoye, how much did the buyer put down as a deposit?" Han Yunxi asked.
Jia Dai raised a finger. It was undoubtedly a hundred million taels. For such a large transaction, it was impossible to only put down a ten million taels deposit.
"A hundred million taels …" Han Yunxi was deep in thought. She whispered to First Elder, "What do you think?"
The Great Elder was hesitant. Previously, he had only guessed that the East Origin Hall would come and buy it. Now that the East Origin Hall had really come to buy it, he had no choice but to reconsider the importance of these two territories. However, the price was too high, and it was beyond his expectations.
First Elder didn't say anything for a long time. Uncle Cheng hurriedly pulled him to the side to persuade him. Uncle Cheng couldn't use Ning Cheng to pressure First Elder.
Uncle Cheng's original intention was only to make things difficult for Han Yunxi. In fact, as long as Han Yunxi couldn't find a site, it was fine if he didn't earn this extra income. But now that he was being threatened by Deacon Jin, he had to take this money to help pay off Deacon Jin's debt. Otherwise, his life would be over.
Uncle Cheng persuaded First Elder, and he actually managed to persuade him. Of course, First Elder still respected Han Yunxi's opinion. He said in a low voice, "Princess, you can make the decision."
Han Yunxi glanced at Uncle Cheng, her gaze distant. She said, "Old Master Jia, we'll offer seven hundred million taels. Think about it! You'll still earn more from the liquidated damages. "
