In this place, even in the same room, Liu Shimei was afraid of losing her dog. So, she tightly held his hand and went towards Liang Yi.
In such a mysterious place, could there be traps and mechanisms inside the house? What if they took away her obedient dog? Where would she find someone to compensate her?
Words were written on the pillar.
“It seems like a…” Liang Yi looked at those words, then turned to Liu Shimei, puzzled, and said, “Price list?”
Liu Shimei glanced at it too.
Indeed, it was a price list.
It was divided into ten levels, and each level had a systematic price. The cheapest one was 1 or 2 silver coins, the second level was 100 coins, the third level was 1,000 coins, and it went up to priceless at the top.
The rule was that with each increase in level, the price multiplied by 100!
And behind the prices, it indicated what color of incense to burn and how many sticks to burn!
“Jumping from 1 or 2 to 100 directly, that’s impressive!” she murmured, “The problem is, how do we know how much our desired information is worth?”
Liang Yi thought for a moment and said, “Could it be… you pay how much you think it’s worth, and they give you information that matches the price? And maybe, they can also conceal some details!”
He slapped the short knife in his hand and said, “I really want to meet the mastermind behind this. Their brain must work really well to come up with such a unique place. One courtyard, one house, one guard! All operations depend on the guests’ interpretation… spending the least, earning the most?” Liu Shimei also admired, “Truly laid-back! But… the huge profit behind this is extreme! However… gathering information like this also requires manpower. Maybe all their manpower is used outside to gather information.”
A paparazzi team!
Seeing the admiration on both their faces, Huangfu Lingyao, standing behind Liu Shimei, lowered his eyelids and curved his thin lips slightly.
He interrupted, “Wife, how much money do we give?” Excitedly, he pulled out his money pouch, and then, a tragedy occurred! He pinched the flattened money pouch, took out the last two silvers, and pitifully looked at Liu Shimei, saying, “Wife, the money you gave me is gone! Can’t just buy two silvers’ worth, can we?”
Liu Shimei paused, smiling, she turned to Liang Yi and said, “Did Ninth Brother bring any money?”
Of course, Liang Yi did!
But… his focus wasn’t on that. Instead, he asked, “Little Sister, are you giving him money to spend?”
If he wasn’t talking to his beloved little sister, he probably would have asked: Isn’t he your fiance? Why is he living off you like a kept man!
The dignified King Dun Yu was actually spending his unmarried wife’s money, which was simply outrageous.
What a scumbag!
As the older brother, he felt quite sad: why doesn’t little sister think about spending money on me?
Seeing his strong reaction, knowing that her brother had turned sour like a lemon again, Liu Shimei helplessly said, “He always forgets to take his money pouch when he goes out, and he likes buying me food, so I gave it to him.”
In other words, the money she gave him was all spent on her!
She didn’t have the concept of ‘keeping a fiance’, but rather the idea of ‘raising a son’. So, she didn’t see anything unreasonable about this behavior!
Liang Yi felt even more bitter!
Huangfu Lingyao, on the other hand, felt triumphant. He stuck his tongue out at Liang Yi and said, “Wife, didn’t you bring any money? Should we… go back and get some?”
Was he lacking money? Of course not!
But in front of his wife, he had to appear lacking in foresight!
Liang Yi, naturally, couldn’t let his sister make a fruitless trip. He said, “Alright, let’s order 1,000 taels of incense!”
Liu Shimei was speechless..
