Being given the title of a prince's cè fi was the greatest honor. Ji Yunhao felt this compensation would make Ning Xuemo agree with great joy.
After all, before all that happens, this little girl used every possible mean, even suffering in silence, in order to pass through his, the Sixth Prince's, doors {1}...
However, to the words that he just spoke, Ning Xuemo sneered at it from inside the iron cage. "This compensation is just too light and easy! I don't want it!"
Ji Yunhao's complexion was unsightly, "Then, what do you want as compensation? Don't tell me you still want to be my first wife?!"
'Give that girl an inch, and she wants a mile!'
The corner of Ning Xuemo's mouth hooked up, "Your Royal Highness is thinking too much. Xuemo doesn't care much about being your first wife!"
"Then, what do you want?"
"If, Xuemo is accused wrongly, I request the Immortal Child to allow Xuemo to withdraw from the marriage with the Sixth Prince! The first thing to agree on is that, I, Xuemo, am the one who wants to withdraw from this marriage. I am the one who doesn't want him! And the Sixth Prince must shout 3 times in front of everyone: Miss Xuemo refuses to marry me!"
These conditions were simply outrageous. Everyone opened their eyes wide and looked at that extremely daring girl inside the iron cage.
Everyone's views were different. Some had admiration and others felt she was a lunatic...
However, the boy felt she was interesting, "Sixth Prince, do you agree on the conditions Miss Ning proposed?"
Although Ji Yunhao didn't expect this, since his face was dark like the bottom of a pot, he had no other choice, but to reply, "I can agree to it."
Ning Xuemo still wasn't finished, "This humble girl's withdrawal from this marriage is probably something that the Sixth Prince wanted inside his heart. Regardless of the feelings and following logic and reason, the Sixth Prince should give this humble girl some compensation. Such as, giving me 1,000 taels of gold. Those 1,000 taels of gold will be the monetary equivalent for the cè fi's position. In fact, Sixth Prince still profits from this trade, so I'm sure you can agree to that."
Ji Yunhao stayed silent, "..." In the capital, how many young girls from the noble family split their hair in four just to be his cè fi, but this girl who didn't know what death is wanted to sell that position for 1,000 taels of gold?!
Although on the boy's face, he seemed deadpanned, but there was a glint of interest sparkling inside his eyes, "Miss Ning, you might be aware that the position of the Sixth Prince's cè fi, even with 10,000 gold, it's difficult to substitute? Why don't you wish to be the Sixth Prince's cè fi?"
Ning Xuemo sat down in the cage and bluntly said, "Is it so difficult to understand? The reason is actually quite simple. I, Ning Xuemo, don't wish to marry a heartless, unfair, treacherous, and good-for-nothing dreg. I would rather have a 1,000 taels of gold!"
If Ji Yunhao didn't have self-restraint as a prince, he would be unable to conceal his expression from falling. "Heartless and unfair? Good-for-nothing and treacherous? This is the first time someone has dared to evaluate me this way! May I ask Miss Ning to explain how you ended up giving me such an evaluation?!"
Ning Xuemo glanced at him, "You really want to hear? I feel that in front of all these people, I must give you some face. So, some things are better left unsaid."
In Ji Yunhao's heart, his flames of fury were already rising up, ten meters high. Then you'd better listen well. You owe my daddy, Marquis Jingyuan, the kindness of saving your life, but you allowed his daughter to be treated like this. This is called heartless! You are such a great man to coerce a lone girl with no one to rely on. This is called unfair! As my future husband, you didn't have the ability to protect your own cè fi, letting someone set her up and frame her. Isn't that called good-for-nothing? For this matter, regardless of who is playing tricks behind your back, you won't be able to escape from being involved. You knew perfectly well that I was set up by someone, but you still wanted to throw stones at me, who is already down and keep thinking of sending me to my death. If you aren't treacherous, then who is? You are the type of person that if kept, would be losing out. Since it's so, I don't want you! That's why I want to annul this marriage!"

{1} - In traditional Chinese weddings, the bride needs to pass through the door of the groom's house to be considered his wife and part of his family. It's a symbolic meaning since before marriage, the girl is not supposed to go visit her fiancé at his home. The man can visit his fiancée at her home, but not the contrary in ancient times.
