After Breaking Off My Marriage, I Became A Powerful Minister’s Treasure

er asked anyone to treat a flower before, so I can’t be sure of the price.

“If you name a price, I think we can make a deal.
If not, I’ll have to bear with the pain and let the flower wither.

Shi Qingluo thought for a moment and asked, “Tell me honestly.
How much did you spend on the flower?”

Only then would she be able to estimate the price to treat it.

She didn’t think it was a few hundred taels of silver like what Number Five mentioned.

Bai Xu…

This little wife of Xiao Hanzheng was a little difficult to deal with!

He said helplessly, “One hundred and sixty taels of silver.”

This was the truth.
The few hundred taels were something that his servant used to brag to others.

However, when the flower had just been nurtured, it could indeed be sold for a few hundred taels.

In order to prevent Xiao Hanzheng’s wife from slashing him further, he told her the real price.

Shi Qingluo realised that this fellow wasn’t honest either.
“I’ll treat the flower for you, and I guarantee that it will be even better than when you bought it.
How about you give me twenty taels as a reward?”

She didn’t ask for too much just because Bai Xu was in a hurry to treat its purple chrysanthemum.

Firstly, she wasn’t that kind of person.

Secondly, she also wanted to befriend Bai Xu.

She felt that in the future he would be useful to help her in other matters.

This price was within Bai Xu’s acceptable range.

In fact, he was already prepared for Shi Qingluo to raise the price.

Anyway, as long as she raised the price above fifty taels of silver, he wouldn’t let her treat it anymore.

At most, he would just go to the capital and buy a new one.

After all, who knew if she could really heal it.

“Sure.” Bai Xu nodded and changed the topic.
“What if you can’t heal it?”

Shi Qingluo waved her hand.
“Nothing like this would happen.”

Bai Xu was speechless.
Wasn’t her confidence a little too much?

He felt that it was better to have a clearer explanation.
“What if it happens?”

He was a businessman.

He could spend money to treat it, but if something went wrong, he would not want to bear it alone.

After all, she was the one who came to his door and offered to help treat it.

Shi Qingluo knew what he meant in a glance.
“If it can’t be healed, I’ll compensate you at the original price.”

She continued, “You know my husband, Xiao Hanzheng, right? I’ll use his reputation to guarantee it.

“If I can’t heal it, if I can’t bring out 160 taels of silver for you, my husband will pay you back.”

She looked as if she was pressuring her husband.

After saying that, she turned to Mother Xiao and asked, “Isn’t that right, Mother?”

Mother Xiao trusted Shi Qingluo and nodded.
“Yes, my son can guarantee it.”

Bai Xu…

He suddenly pitied Xiao Hanzheng for being sold out by his wife and mother.

“Alright, even though I’m not familiar with Elementary Scholar Xiao, I trust his character.

“But should we still have an agreement written in black and white as evidence?”

Shi Qingluo nodded.
“No problem, let’s use them as evidence.”

This fellow was indeed a profiteer.

It was obvious that he was very bright and won’t be at the losing end.

Seeing that she agreed, Bai Xu immediately instructed Number Four to bring over a brush, ink, paper, and inkstone.

Then, he wrote a letter and read it once for Shi Qingluo to hear.

“If you don’t have any questions, you can ink your handprint.

“If you don’t believe me, you can find someone outside to read it before you put your handprint.”

Shi Qingluo was speechless.
“Do I look like someone who can’t read?”

After she finished, she picked up the brush and signed her name.

Bai Xu was speechless.

She really didn’t look like a village woman from her sallow and emaciated appearance.

Moreover, he believed that there weren’t many women in the county who could read, let alone in the rural villages.

However, when he looked down and saw Shi Qingluo’s name written in beautiful hairpin script, he silently retracted his words.

He was wrong.
Xiao Hanzheng’s wife seemed to be a little unusual.
