Huang Ling'er, upon hearing her father insist on a price bargain, smiled and said: "Great father, when you took the high-level Breakthrough Pill at first, why didn't you consider bargaining? Once swallowed, it cannot be vomited back up. Therefore, bargaining is no longer possible. We can only offer one hundred billion spirit stones. Otherwise, I will tell my grandfather that you are trying to evade your debt. You may decide what to do."
Huang Tianshi helplessly looked at his daughter, shook his head and said, "Girls grow up and leave. This is truly unavoidable. My daughter is indeed no longer suitable to stay. What's wrong? She has already leaned towards her husband. What should I do in the future?" With only one daughter, these assets originally belong to you. Why do you have to fight for them now? You're stripping your father of everything right now! Don't you think about the future we will leave these assets to you and your mother? There's no difference between giving it now and giving it later, is there? Why do you have to force me to give all these things to you right now? Is that appropriate? Actually, when we get older, we can also entrust these things to you later. We are just temporarily holding them for you. Why are you in such a hurry? The reason why we don't want to give it to you right now is that the young people have been accustomed to spending money recklessly. Even if we give you more money, you can quickly spend it all in a flash. We only want to temporarily hold it for you until the time comes when it is needed. That way, we can also meet our immediate needs. If you take all this money right now and spend it recklessly, what will happen when an emergency arises? Can't we leave some reserves for ourselves? We may not consider it as much as the young people because they are used to spending money freely, but as elders, we have to think about many things. We are willing to give it all to you, but we just don't want see any of our hard-earned wealth being wasted!
Huang Ling'er, upon hearing her father's words, shook her head and said: "Great father, you think too much. These things don't need you to worry about. Our two people's affairs should be considered by ourselves. What you should give us, just give us. As for whether we will spend money recklessly or waste it away, that is our concern. If my husband-in-law needs medicinal materials when refining herbs, we will spend as much money as needed. If not needed, we won't waste money either. We can get them eventually anyway, why do this? This will make us uncomfortable in our hearts. Is your heart happy? Great father, do you think what I said makes sense? Your son-in-law is a senior-level herbalist. If he refines high-grade pills and elixirs, you know that the medicinal materials required are extremely expensive. How can one refine high-grade pills and elixirs without enough money? If there are already pills and elixirs ready for sale, wouldn't your assets grow larger? Although they are in our possession, they actually belong to you as well. Would you still not let us spend it if you need it? My daughter and my husband-in-law are not as tightfisted as you! Just think about it yourself: which would you rather do — give it to us willingly or keep it yourself? We won't force you either way since we know how frugal you are! Just remember that if this behavior upsets your son-in-law too much later on regarding the pill elixir stuff, there's no point thinking about them anymore! We'll also feel awkward asking your son-in-law for them after all! You'd better just forget about these things then! And please don't let bad thoughts ruin your health! We have no pills and elixirs to help with your treatment either; so please find another way yourself!"
Huang Tianshi looked at his daughter and shook his head. "It seems I have no choice but to hand over these businesses to you now. Otherwise, in the future, I won't even be able to pull some strings and buy a few pills. What's going on? My own daughter doesn't stand up for me. What good is it to raise this daughter? Truly, there's nothing left to do but drink the bitter wine I've made myself. Never mind, I won't argue with you anymore. Just do as you please. If you say give Wenjie one hundred billion, then give Wenjie one hundred billion. As long as you're happy, that's fine. After all, the money will eventually be yours anyway. I have no need to hold onto it for you in such a manner; it ends up being a bad situation for everyone involved. That's not appropriate."
Huang Ling'er looked at Yuan Shaobing and Zhang Xinnian in front of her. "Princess, ask your husband, see how much this high-level Breakthrough Pill costs. We will buy it regardless of the price. Just ask."
Huang Ling'er looked at them with a smile, "No problem. I'll help you ask. Just make sure you have the money. Then she said to Mo Wenjie, 'Have you sold this high-level Breakthrough Pill in Yundu City before? How much per pill? If yes, then you should sell it to them at the price in Yundu City!'
Mo Wenjie nodded. "This high-level Breakthrough Pill has indeed been sold in Yundu City, and the price for each pill is five million spirit stones. If they need it, we can sell it to them at five million spirit stones per pill. I won't ask for more. If they think the price is reasonable, they can buy it; if not, they don't have to. I won't pressure them to buy. We'll choose on a voluntary basis; no forced sales!"
Du Zhong, who had just returned, heard Mo Wenjie's excited words and rushed forward to greet him. "Your Highness, I have two million spirit stones here. Please sell me a high-level Breakthrough Pill. As for the others, it's just my compensation for your generosity earlier!" He hoped the Marquis would accept his humble gift, which wasn't much, but was just his heartfelt wish. He hoped the Marquis could understand!
Mo Wenjie, upon hearing what Du Zhong said, shook his head. "The high-level Breakthrough Pill I sell to you is worth five million spirit stones. That's it, no more. If you feel a bit embarrassed by the money you have yourself, you can donate it to those in need. I only take my fair share!"
Huang Tianshi was overjoyed to hear his son-in-law say this. His daughter-in-law had really made him proud. This son-in-law was too willing to give up so much money, truly not a greedy person. To have him as a son-in-law was indeed his good fortune, and he truly lived up to being his daughter's choice. If in the future he were to hand over Lan Yue City to him, he would definitely be at ease. His upright character and virtue were indeed something that warranted trust. He could now put his mind at ease. He had made up his mind about Mo Wenjie as his son-in-law, and under no circumstances would he disagree. Today, he made it clear here, "Wenjie, Ling'er, I wholeheartedly approve of your marriage. You just need to decide when you want to get married; all the formalities can be skipped. I won't burden the children anymore either; you two have it tough enough. After today, go to Fenghuang City to find your mother and discuss your wedding arrangements. Everything here is fine with me; do as you wish; I will unconditionally support you!"
Huang Ling'er smiled and said, "Father, what about the money?"
