Chapter 35: This life was too expensive part 2


“Uncle Fu, you arrived just in time. This Princess has already finished going through all of these accounting books. There wasn't much problems with the accounting books, and even if there were problems, they have already been marked out. All you have to do is get some people to fix the marked problems,” said Mu Zi Ling.


When Uncle Fu heard what she said, his face was filled with shock, “Princess, it would take at least half a month for a regular person to go through all of these accounting books. How is it possible that you finished going through them in less than a day?!”


No wonder the Princess agreed to it so straightforwardly this morning. So it turned out that the Princess wanted to go outside so badly that she just skimmed through all of the accounting books. This wouldn’t do. His highness had already ordered him to make sure that the Princess didn’t go out. If the Princess really did leave, then how could he report back to his highness?


“Uncle Fu, you said that half a month was the time it took for a regular person to look through the books, but this Princess isn’t a regular person. If you do not believe me, then you can grab any one of those accounting books, and this Princess will be able to recite them,” Mu Zi Ling smiled in ridicule. She had already known that Uncle Fu would have such a reaction. After all that, he basically just didn’t want to let her go outside.


“This old servant doesn’t dare, but his highness wanted the Princess to stay in the manor unless there was something important.”


Uncle Fu was so scared, that cold sweat was flowing down. He could only take his highness the Qi King’s name out now.


The Princess really wasn’t a regular person. The one who everyone thought was an idiot was actually a godly doctor who hid her abilities deeply.


However, he still couldn’t believe that someone could finish reading through all of the accounting books in just one day. He really didn’t have anything he could do now. He didn’t dare get the Princess to actually recite the accounting books, but what could he do about the orders his highness gave him?


“Uncle Fu, what his highness said was if I didn’t have anything important to do, then I wasn’t allowed go out. However, This Princess has important matters to take care of. In addition, it was you who said that there was nothing else to do after looking through all of those accounting books, ok? Look, the sky is starting to turn dark now. This Princess will be back really soon,” said Mu Zi Ling to Uncle Fu as she held on to her temper. If they keep wasting their time here, then the sky would be pitch black by the time she got back.


It did seem to make some sense. His highness only said that the Princess may not go out if there was nothing important. He did not say that she couldn’t go out if she had something important. Apart from getting the Princess to finish looking through all of the accounting books, his highness didn’t order anything else, Uncle Fu was thought to himself in daze. By the time where he was ready to respond, Mu Zi Ling’s carriage was already far away.


“Princess, his highness’ orders.. Princess….” Uncle Fu only now noticed that he had been played by Mu Zi Ling. He chased hurriedly after Mu Zi Ling, but her carriage has already gone far.

This time, Mu Zi Ling just went out wearing female clothing instead of switching to male clothing when she left. She wore a light gauze to cover her face. She was worried that she might run into Long Xiao Yu before she even had time to change clothes again.


They arrived at a bank nearby the manor. Mu Zi Ling gave the banker the jade pendant. When the he received the jade pendant, he felt his hands burn and looked at Mu Zi Ling unbelievingly.


This was his highness the Qi King’s personal unlimited jade pendant. Who was this woman in front of him? Why would she have his highness the Qi King’s jade pendant?


“May I ask how much money this young lady wants to withdraw?” asked the banker carefully. If this person could use his highness the Qi King’s jade pendant, then her identity must not be simple. It would be the best if he was careful around her.


“Give me however much this jade pendant is worth.” answered Mu Zi Ling without the slightest bit of hesitation. However, why was that guy’s expression looking at her so weird? She won’t eat him, so why was he afraid of her?


“Young… Young lady, this jade pendant doesn’t have a limit to the amount of money that can be withdrawn. You have to tell me a number so this one can go get it,” he said, shaking in fear. This young lady said to give her however much they could withdraw. That was no small amount of money! Was she trying to close down the bank?!?!


Mu Zi Ling was suddenly dumbfounded. What did he mean there was no limit on how much money she could withdraw? Could she receive an unlimited amount of money? She then asked again, “Do you mean that I can receive any amount of money with this jade pendant?”


“Ye.. yes… May I ask how much money this young lady wants to receive?” answered the banker. What was wrong with this young lady? Didn’t she know that she could receive as much money as she wanted with this jade pendant?


Mu Zi Ling was suddenly bewitched. Was the jade pendant that Long Xiao Yu gave her really the reward money for curing Long Xiao Nan? If that was the case, then Long Xiao Nan’s life was too priceless.


So unlimited meant priceless? Well, even if it was really priceless, she still didn't dare possess such a hand scalding jade pendant. She was not a dark, evil doctor. She only carelessly cured a brain tumor, and Long Xiao Yu gave her money that she would never finish spending.


Mu Zi Ling didn’t speak for a long period of time.


The guy then opened his mouth and asked carefully, “Young lady, how much money do you want to receive?”


Xie was also very shocked. She knew that the Young Miss went into the Royal Palace and cured the Fifth Prince’s headaches yesterday. She also knew that this jade pendant was the reward money that his highness Qi King gave the Young Miss.


However, what kind of jade pendant was this for one to be able to receive any amount of money? She reacted first and nudged Mu Zi Ling’s hand while asking, “Young Miss, he asked you how much money you need.”


Mu Zi Ling then became sober and after thinking she said, “Just give me eighty thousand gold coins.”


She still decided to just get the money that she needed to open the shop, and then give the jade pendant back to Long Xiao Yu. She doesn’t care if Long Xiao Yu only gave this to her as a reward, or if he had other meanings, but she would not keep this.


She did not dare hold such a priceless jade pendant. Since Long Xiao Yu gave her the jade pendant, then he wouldn’t think taking eighty thousand gold was too much right? If he thought that it was too much, then she would repay him after her medical shop earned money.


When they walked out of the bank, the sky was already almost dark. Mu Zi Ling decided to go back to the manor first. She would go into the palace tomorrow to switch Long Xiao Nan’s medicine. Then she would go to the Night Rain restaurant and finish the matters of the shop.


This time, she did not run into Long Xiao Yu the whole way back. Mu Zi Ling’s heart then began to settle down.


She didn’t know why everytime that she saw Long Xiao Yu looking down on her from the roof, she felt so panicky and nervous. It was as if she did something bad and had been caught.


The next day, Long Xiao Ze came back to Qi King’s Manor full of energy.
