Chapitre 26: Pay me (1)
Wen Shiachen nervously retorted: "Miss, this... the thousand year bloodfruit is already an invaluable treasure but you still want the Cleansing Pill and some yuan. This... are you not going too far?"
Wen Ruocheng bolted upright and yelled. "This is daylight robbery! You b*tch! You think our Wen family is easy to bully!" Though Wen Ruocheng had no clue about the treasures that she just mentioned were the Wen's family, he knew how valuable they were. 'Besides, I'm the only son. Naturally, I will inherit everything. These treasures will be mine in the future, why would I give it to some brothel house?!'
Shen Tianyu calmly picked up the teacup in it's saucer, lifted the lid and started to scrape it on the teacup. "Naturally, this is not merely the price for the trouble caused to Su Yuan. This payment also includes the humiliation your precious son caused me last night, the night of my debut no less. In addition, I was sent here to solve things by Manager Sung, do you still dare to call this robbery?" She put the lid back on the teacup and put it down on the table again, without taking a sip. She then turned her gaze to Wen Shiachen.
'She's sent by the Manager of Lavender Palace! Really so troublesome!' Wen Shiachen was srarting to get a headache.
"Aren't I kind? I put the price out containing his two misdeeds in the recent days instead of taking the prices separately."
"Yes, yes. Miss is kind. However, this price is a bit outrageous is it not? Bloodfruit and Cleansing Pill and five million yuan..."
"You don't have to pay..." Shen Tianyu started and Wen Ruocheng harrumphed. 'So this sl*t is finally backing down. Should have done it earlier! See how I deal with you later.' He says down heavily in his chair. On the other hand, Wen Shiachen frowned. 'Lavender Palace wouldn't let things off so easily. Why is she sayin this? Is she just a scammer from Lavender Palace or...?'
"We can just take it by force. With the trouble your son has caused, it would be enough reason for us to annihilate the Wen family without anyone complaining. When that happens, we can just take what we want."
The faces of the father and son pair blackened.
"But you see, we don't like using force so, Lavender Palace had sent me to negotiate. If it falls through, we'll have no other choice..." Shen Tianyu sighed as she lamented.
'That's right. If we din't agree, forget the treasures, our whole Wen family might be wiped out from the face of this world.' Wen Shiachen again, lamented about his useless, spoiled son. He gritted his teeth and closed his eyes as he thought. 'So what if they are precious treasures? They were left behind by our ancestors to aid the Wen family. Now that we are in trouble and can hand them over to save the family, is it not the same? That's right. Handing these treasures over will still fulfill their purpose.' He thought as he firmly made a decision in his heart. He then opened his eyes and stared at Shen Tianyu with determination in his eyes.
"Do you promise that if I hand what you requested, you will leave the Wen family alone?" He asked.
"I promise. As long as Young Master Wen does not do anything else that go against Lavender Palace's rules to our people or on our premise, we will not do anything to the Wen family and will forget this matter." Shen Tianyu replied.
"Father! How can you hand them over so easily?! She's only a prostitute, how can she represent Lavender Palace?! Father, don't believe her!" Wen Ruocheng yelled, his hands gripping the arms of his chair as he leaned forward.
"Shut up! You already caused enough trouble!" Wen Shiachen scolded him. 'What do you know about Lavender Palace? As she is sent by Manager Sung, then she is Lavender Palace's representative.'
He turned back to Shen Tianyu. "As that is the case, then I will hand them over to you. I hope Lavender Palace will remember your words today."
"Of course. We always keep our word. Master Wen should take care to educating and disciplining your son instead so something similar may not happen again. There are many powers in this world, and not everyone is as kind as us. Next time he does something outrageous may cause the death of the Wen family." Shen Tianyu warned as she smiled a business smile at him.
Without responding he got up from his Master seat and walked out. Shen Tianyu remained seated as she waited, feeling Wen Ruocheng's constant glare. However, he didn't dare do anything more. He was a spoiled brat but he wasn't stupid. He knew they had lost this time, and that if he did anything again, the consequences would be much more dire.
Wen Shiachen returned some time later to his son glaring at Shen Tianyu who was humming to herself as she played with a stand of her hair. Following behind him were three servants, one of which was the head servant that had denied entry to Shen Tianyu and her group. Two of the three servants were carrying ornate jade boxes, while the last one, who looked more like a laborer, was carrying a small sack about the size of a modern shoulder bag.
The yuan of this world was not the metal yuan from ancient China on Earth. Instead, the "yuan" that this world uses were crystal stones that contained some spiritual power. Although they weren't very valuable for cultivation, they contained spiritual power. The value of a crystal stone depends on it's size, which is relevant to the amount of spiritual power contained. The more spiritual power, the bigger the crystal, and the more value it's have. Taels, on the other hand are ordinary silver coins. Because it doesn't have spiritual power, it is the most used method of exchange. After all, even if yuan does not have enough spiritual power to influence cultivation, large amounts can still be used to help cultivate, this method is commonly reserved for the rich. Basically, "yuan" in this world, is akin to gold on Earth. Normal peasants earned about 500 taels per month. The most basic standard of living costs about 300 taels every month, at least, in Nang Kingdom. A crystal stone of a value of one million yuan was about the size of an adult man's fist, it was the most valuable type of crystal stone, as any that are bigger are too rare to use for exchanges.
