Fairy Tail: Collapsing Stars

Chapter 768: A thousand taels——2Fei Qinfan thought that he misheard Su Wan but when he turned to look at Chi Jian the latter nodded telling him that he did not mishear and Mrs Lin indeed asked for a thousand taels from him, stunned he turned to look at Su Wan and could not help but say while his heart was beating loudly, " Mrs Lin, did you just say a thousand taels?"          

    

Even though he was a prince and this sum of money was not big for him, Fei Qinfan was still aware of the fact that a sum of thousand taels was rather a lot for commoners like Su Wan who only relied on nothing but their hard work, seeing the shocked look on Fei Qinfan's face, Su Wan was very amused and could not help but tease him, " Is it too little? I should have known, someone like Master Qin would definitely think that such a small sum can't meet the worth of the rare rose that I have grown right?"      

When Fei Qinfan heard Su Wan's shameless words he did not know what to say to her, though he will admit that the rose was indeed priceless it was still a rose in the end, right? How can it be sold for a thousand taels just as he was thinking about lowering the price, Su Wan hitched a brow and asked, " I hope you do not find the some that I have asked for as too much because this flowery that I have raised is not something that you can find in this country maybe you might not even find it another country."      

Before Fei Qinfan could say anything Su Wan was already speaking at a rapid fast speed making it impossible for Fei Qinfan to say anything, all the poor man could do was to listen Su Wan who was glowering at him with her hands on her hips as she snapped at him, shooting one after another sentence.      

" This rose took me a year to bloom and you think it's not enough to be sold for a thousand taels?"      

" Have you taken a look at its colour? It's beautiful petals? The scent which flows past those beautiful petals? They are something that you will never find in this entire town much less the capital since I am the only one who came up with this technique!"      

" If you think that it is too much then you can forget about our deal, I am not forcing you after all I am an honest businesswoman who will not use force on my customers, if you think that this is something that you can find at any other place then you are free to look around maybe you can ask your gardener to try doing the same thing however I am not sure that he will be able to recreate what I have done since this technique was taught to me by one of the grandmas who used to live next to my house but later passed away."      

Su Wan cupped her cheek and then shook her head with a disappointed look on her face like she was troubled, "It's just that I thought that Master Qin will honour the promise that he made to me but alas… it's all right, I will simply go and look for another customer who will be willing to buy this rose if not anything, I can ask Miss Yu to come and deal with this flower after all she is the daughter of a general and she is helping me sell my scented oil and perfumes, I am certain that she will do a fine job with this rose as well."      

In fact Su Wan was only boasting, she too had no idea what she was going to do with this rose yet, the scent was too peculiar and new that she had no idea what kind of perfume she was supposed to make…if she could not sell the entire bush then it will twice as troublesome which was why she only wished to work hard till here and not anymore but of course, she was not going to give away her hard work just like that either, if she said that the rose was going to be sold for a thousand taels then it was going to be sold for a thousand taels.     

" Yan Yan, you do not need to worry about such a thing," Lin Rui did not know that his wife was actually forcing Fei Qinfan in a manner where he will buy the rose from her and take a headache off her head, he thought that his wife was really worried which was why he could not help but say, " There are a lot of young masters who are passionate flower viewers and lovers in my class, I will ask them if they want to buy this flower I am sure we will find someone."      

" I can find someone as well," Lin Chen raised his hand and though he knew what Su Wan was doing he wanted to see Fei Qinfan all panicky which was why he smirked evilly and added, " The customers who come to our shop all love the scented oil and perfumes that we sell to them if I tell them that there is such a rose they will rush to buy it maybe they will pay more for that rose."      

" I will ask some of my patrons as well," Lin Yu chimed in between causing Fei Qinfan to feel cornered, he had been staying in the Lin family for months and keeping an eye on that flower, but now that it bloomed someone else was going to snatch it away? He was not going to agree to that!      

This was why he immediately said, " There is no need as long as I am here! I will pay for the rose, so what if the price is one thousand taels? I can still take such a small sum out of my budget!"      

Chi Jia: "..." He could already imagine the screaming and scolding of the crown prince coming their way.
