If she remembered correctly, Li Zhengtian was simply an official of the Fifth Rank, with an annual salary of Five Hundred Taels.
Now, he was casually offering ten thousand taels. Could it be said he wasn't corrupt?
She certainly didn't believe it!
Alas, it looked like Lord Yu's path to cleanse corruption was still a long way off.
Li Zhengtian clenched his teeth. Which official didn't have some extra income? Otherwise, how could he afford to support a family on that meager salary alone?
He had never expected that in sincerely negotiating terms with Qiao Duo'er, he would instead be met with a counter-attack.
But before he could lose his temper, the door was pushed open.
Entering were Chen Yiling and Bai Yifan. Seeing that Qiao Duo'er was unharmed, both let out a sigh of relief.
"Duo'er, we've finally found you. What are you doing here?" Chen Yiling chided.
She had only gone to the restroom for a bit and came back to find Duo'er missing, nearly scaring her to death.
