Compared with pleasing people, Lin Chujiu prefers to do business. So hearing Hua Jinrong’s words, Lin Chujiu didn’t feel insulted.
There was no friendship between them since the beginning, she would rather be blunt than to make friends. If being blunt will bring her benefit, then she would rather be blunt every day.
Negotiating condition was the same as doing business.
Lin Chujiu was not in a hurry to state her conditions, but asked, “What can the Hua family give me?”
“The Hua family promised that as long as anyone can find Xiao Jiu, we will reward this person with a large amount of gold and silvers, and we will do one thing for him as long as it will not violate the country’s ethics.” Hua Jinrong also didn’t beat around the bush, he said the conditions that the four countries also know.
“A large amount of gold and silvers are unnecessary. If the Hua family is willing to do me a favor, I would be grateful enough.” Lin Chujiu’s rejection of gold and silver was not out of goodwill, but because the condition she will ask is not easy.
Obviously, Hua Jinrong also understands this. So hearing Lin Chujiu’s words, he frowned as he shook his head and refused: “There is no shortage of money in our Hua Family. I should give you what we promised.”
For people like them, things that can be solved with money are nothing. What more troublesome is the condition.
When Lin Chujiu heard those words, she didn’t refuse. However, she will not change her original condition just because the Hua family will give her a lot of money: “Hua Gongzi, do you know the battle between the eastern country and northern country?”
“The Hua family will not intervene in the war between the two countries.” Hua Jinrong stopped Lin Chujiu’s words before she could finish.
“I know, but it’s not against the country’s ethics.” Lin Chujiu said casually, but Hua Jinrong could hear deep ridicule from this sentence.
But……
This kind of ridicule, Hua Jinrong didn’t put it in his eyes.
As a young master carefully cultivated by a first-class family, although Hua Jinrong was not as thick-faced as the old fried dough sticks in officialdom, he also doesn’t have a glass heart. He felt sad and embarrassed when he hears ridicule, but that’s it.
Hua Jinrong looked at Lin Chujiu with an unchanged smile and waited for Lin Chujiu to continue talking.
Lin Chujiu secretly scolded the smiling tiger in front of her but continued: “It is against the ethics of the country to intervene in the war between the two countries. So I wonder if I asked Hua Gongzi to help me save a person on the battlefield. Will it also against the ethics of the country?”
This was what Lin Chujiu’s real goal is.
“Do you want me to help you save Xiao Wangye?” Hua Jinrong doesn’t need to hear Lin Chujiu’s further words to understand her meaning.
“Yes, I hope Hua Gongzi can save my prince once at a critical moment.” She saved the life of the youngest young master of the Hua Family, so now that she’s asking them to save Xiao Tianyao. She didn’t find it too much.
Hua Jinrong didn’t respond. Instead, he asked: “I heard that Xiao Wangye was not good to you? He even forced you to turn against your natal family, isn’t it?”
Xiao Tianyao’s previous attitude towards Lin Chujiu can be found by anyone who gets interested in it. Hua Jinrong obviously bothered with it.
“Wangye indeed didn’t treat me well before.” Lin Chujiu admitted it without even feeling embarrassed or ashamed. This was true, isn’t it?
“But no matter how bad wangye treated me, he is my husband. As a husband and wife, we are one. If something bad happened to him, what will I do for the rest of my life?” Although Lin Chujiu doesn’t think that Xiao Tianyao will die, she can’t guarantee it. She couldn’t bear to let Xiao Tianyao’s die. She couldn’t just watch him die.
“With Xiao Wangfei’s good deed, do you need to worry about this? If you are willing to do so, I can recognize you as my righteous sister and take you back to the Hua family. Then I will let you marry as the righteous daughter of the Hua family.” Hua Jinrong gave Lin Chujiu a beautiful road. At least in the eyes of many people, this is a beautiful road.
