Feng Xuan shouted as he retreated.
"Wait!"
Yun Ran raised her head from Nangong Mo's shoulder and stopped him. "Did you just say that you took back a thousand taels?"
Feng Xuan paused and subconsciously looked at Nangong Mo. For a moment, he didn't know if he should leave or stay…
Nangong Mo did not miss the moment when Yun Ran's eyes lit up when she heard about the one thousand taels. Her eyes were filled with stars. She was not even this excited as she looked at him!
The man narrowed his eyes and subtly Yun Ran. "Since we got it back, let's deposit it in the storeroom."
"Yes! Master."
Feng Xuan was about to leave when Yun Ran over like a gust of wind and grabbed the sack in his hand.
She looked at Feng Xuan with a smile. "I'll deal with these thousand taels myself! I won't trouble Commander Feng!"
"Princess Consort, this…" Feng Xuan was in a difficult position and looked at Nangong Mo for help.
Yun Ran turned around, but she didn't let go of the sack. "Your Highness, this is mine. You're not going to snatch it, are you?"
The man raised his eyebrows slightly and kindly reminded her, "I got it back for you."
Yun Ran gritted her teeth and said generously, "Alright, I'll give you ten percent!"
However, the man did not seem satisfied. He looked at her with dark eyes.
"You only got this after marrying me. If not for me, how could there be a chance?"
Yun Ran was speechless.
This black-hearted person is extorting me!
"Fine! Twenty-eighty. That should do it, right?"
"Are you getting twenty?"
Seeing the man's lips curl up slightly, Yun Ran really wanted to slap him.
Forget it! I won't argue with a dog. In the end, all your silver will be mine!
"Fine, fifty-fifty!"
Yun Ran gritted her teeth and quickly added.
"This is already my bottom line! I can't go any further!"
Nangong Mo pursed his lips and held back his urge to laugh. He pretended to think seriously.
"Fine. Then I'll respect your boundaries."
Feng Xuan emptied the sack of gold and split it in two.
Yun Ran quickly snatched her share and prepared to dig a hole in the garden to bury it.
But as soon as she took a step, someone grabbed her wrist.
Alarm bells rang in Yun Ran's heart. She looked at Nangong Mo as if he was a bandit. "What do you want now?"
Nangong Mo lazily raised his left hand and waved it in front of her.
Yun Ran looked confused. "What do you mean? Are you summoning a soul?"
Nangong Mo was speechless. What was the stupid woman thinking? Can't she see the bite marks she made?
"You bit me just now."
For a moment, it was too much for her to process. Then she nodded honestly. "I did. Why?"
The man gave her a sidelong glance and said faintly, "Five hundred taels."
Yun Ran was confused.
What did he say?
While Yun Ran was in a daze, the gold in her hand had already reached Nangong Mo's hands.
After Yun Ran regained her soul, she looked at the man's charming face and teasing smile. She almost couldn't control the urge to pounce on him and ravage him!
"One bite for five hundred taels of gold?"
"You might as well go rob someone?"
After two sentences, Yun Ran gritted her teeth so hard that she almost broke them.
Nangong Mo leaned lazily against the back of the chair, his posture calm and elegant.
"I'm not a bandit. I only take what I deserve."
Yun Ran was speechless.
'What did he deserve? Five hundred taels of gold for a bite?'
Yun Ran made up her mind and extended her hand in front of Nangong Mo.
"Then I'll let you have a bite. You can pay me back."
