“You show me if you have 10,000 taels of silver first.” Yang Chenglin was shocked to see him accept the bet.
“No problem.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he turned to look at Zhou Ying.
Zhou Ying nodded and went back to the residence. She took out 10,000 taels of silver from her interspace and brought it back to the dining room. “Ten silver notes worth a thousand taels each. Do you want to count them?”
Yang Chenglin stepped forward to take a look. He was stunned when he saw the banknote with a face value of 1,000 taels. He hadn’t expected them to have so much silver on them.
Could it be that they actually gave the dress to his sister?
Seeing this, Zhou Ying kept the silver notes and said, “Let’s eat first. After lunch, I’ll let you check it personally.”
Gu Chengrui washed his hands and sat down. “Is the bet still on? It’s still not too late to go back on your word.”
Yang Chenglin hesitated for a moment before nodding. “Let’s bet.”
Despite his reservations, his stepmother had always granted all his requests, so he was confident she would not mistreat his sister.
“Alright, kid, hang in there.” After speaking, Gu Chengrui picked up a piece of rabbit meat and said, “Eat more. We have to go out later.”
Yang Chenglin snorted indignantly but still lowered his head and obediently ate the rabbit meat.
After lunch, Gu Chengrui went to the study room and took out a receipt. “Let’s go. 1’11 bring you to verify the claims.”
“Wait, let’s go together. I want to order a few new sets of bedding.” Zhou Ying got up and brought Yang Wanning along with them.
First, they went to look for Butler Feng, who helped them order some clothes. After getting his confirmation, they went to a cloth shop.
Gu Chengrui took out the receipt and handed it to the shop owner. “Miss Hua, this is an order from your shop, right? Can you tell who ordered it?”
Miss Hua took it and glanced at it. “A blue wide-sleeved dress. Butler Feng of King Rui Manor ordered it for a guest. Including the jewelry, it costs 1,800 taels of silver.”
“Thank you, miss.” After that, Gu Chengrui looked at Yang Chenglin and asked, “How? Do you believe me now?”
He then looked at Zhou Ying and said, “Since you’re here, let’s see if there’s anything suitable. Let’s make two more sets; the craftsmanship here is amazing.”
When Miss Hua heard about more business opportunities, she immediately brought Zhou Ying and Yang Wanning to look at their clothes.
At this moment, Gu Chengrui pressed one hand on Yang Chenglin’s shoulder and asked, “So, do you believe me?
“If you don’t believe me, let’s look for King Rui or Granny Liu in the palace, or you can find any official wives from the various families that attended the banquet.”
“Impossible.” Yang Chenglin replied weakly.
He didn’t want to believe that the Cui ladies would not even give his sister a decent dress. But, why would they grant his every request? Was it because he was the legitimate son?
“What’s impossible? How about we make another bet?” Gu Chengrui suggested it with a smile.
“What do you want?” Yang Chenglin looked at him warily.
Gu Chengrui smiled and whispered in his ear, “Do you dare?”
Yang Chenglin hesitated for a moment. No matter what, he would have to win this time.
The key was that if he won this new bet, he wouldn’t have to be Gu Chengrui’s errand boy for five years. He nodded and stated, “Let’s bet.”
“Alright. You have to remember that you can’t leak anything we say or do. Otherwise, this bet will be voided.”
“Don’t worry; I’m not a sore loser.”
“It’s settled, then.”
On the other end, under AAiss Hua’s introduction, Zhou Ying spent a total of 1,400 taels of silver. She ordered two medium-grade dresses for herself, two robes for Gu Chengrui, and a cloak for Yang Wanning..
