Chapter 711 - 712

That explained everything.

It seemed that because the Su"er was a person of the Eastern Chu State, Mu Jin was more receptive to it.

Previously, he had never thought of keeping Su"er by his side, but upon hearing that Su"er was someone from Eastern Chu State, Mu Jin suddenly had this thought.

According to the age of the Su"er and what she had said at the time, it should have been when the war between the Eastern Chu State and herself broke out. The Su"er"s mother was pregnant with the Su"er, while the Su"er"s father had rushed to the battlefield.

And since then, he never came back.

Judging from Su"er"s attire, the father of the Su"er should be a person with status and position in the Eastern Chu State, he should be a vice minister. There were only two vice ministers in the army, and one of them died in battle when Southern Mountain State and the Southern Mountain State were about to set off.

"What"s your last name?" If Su"er was the daughter of the a.s.sistant minister from back then, then this matter was too much of a coincidence.

Su"er looked at Mu Jin warily. It was impossible to not say, but it was also impossible for Su"er to tell Mu Jin that his surname was Mu. He casually picked a surname, "My surname is Yang!"

Yang? It seemed that he was overthinking things. How could there be such a coincidence in this world?

"You are Su"er Yang?" Although this name was a bit common,

But it was very easy to shout.

Su"er Yang? She still felt that Su"er was more pleasing to the ears.

Su"er nodded his head: "Since you already know about me, then in order to be fair, shouldn"t we be honest with each other?"

Honest?

This child"s mother should be a scholar, otherwise she wouldn"t be able to say such words so casually.

"I"m the young master of the Clear Water Pavilion, not grandpa. You should call me uncle. What else do you want to know?" This was the first time Mu Jin introduced himself to others.

In the past, as long as he appeared, even if he didn"t appear, others would still know who he was.

There was no helping it, since this little girl didn"t know anything about the affairs of the martial arts world.

"How many properties do you have, how many properties do you own, how many stores do you own, and how much property do you own?" Su"er put a hand under her chin, her two short legs were calmly hanging in the air, and her fluttering large eyes were looking at Mu Jin with antic.i.p.ation.

She didn"t care who he was, she only cared about how much wealth he had!

"Is this what you meant by being honest?" Mu Jin"s pitch-black eyes couldn"t help but look upwards.

This girl never left the silver in her words.

At this time, Su"er yawned and blinked her eyes sourly. She was really sleepy, but no, she had to know how much money this young master had, otherwise she would wake up even if she fell asleep!

"I already know that you"re the young master of Clear Water Pavilion. As for how many wives and concubines you have and how many children you have, it has nothing to do with me. No matter how many wives you have, they"re not as beautiful as my mother!" Su"er said with complete confidence.

No matter if it was before or after she changed her appearance, her mother"s appearance would forever be unprecedented in her heart. Since she was born, she had never seen a woman more beautiful than her mother!

How did this child teach him?

"Then how much of my family property does it have to do with you?" Mu Jin sat beside Su"er. Her body was like jade, and compared to Su"er"s casual yet cute body, she looked especially graceful.

"I"m just asking out of curiosity. You"re greedy like me, how could I possibly get money from you?" Su"er"s soft voice carried a trace of sleepiness. Her voice was low and cute, as if she wanted to get someone to hold her in their arms and listen to what she said.

Mu Jin chuckled, a playful look in his cold eyes: "I can tell you, but each question costs a thousand taels! The real estate agent"s shop has a total of three questions, if you pay me three thousand gold, I"ll tell you! "

When Su"er heard this, the drowsiness on her body was immediately swept away. She was just about to pout her mouth and open her eyes wide to express her anger, but then changed her mind.

Eh, why didn"t she discover this way to earn money before?

To be able to earn money with just a few words, this was even easier than a lie that she had painstakingly told.

"Then please settle the questions you asked me just now. You asked me where I came from and even asked me my surname. There are two questions in total. Two thousand taels of silver. Hurry up and give me the money!" Su"er"s body moved, he stood up from his seat and walked to Mu Jin"s front and spread out his hands, asking Mu Jin for money.

This girl"s brain spun pretty quickly and she imitated Lin Sanjiu"s actions.

"I already know the answer, why should I pay?" Mu Jin looked at Su"er"s small hand that was opening up the meat for him, and wanted to let him hold it in her hand and play with it.

"Even if you know, you still have to pay. Hurry up and pay!" Su"er raised her head high and her small hands stretched out even more confidently.

Mu Jin helplessly looked at the sky outside: "It"s getting late, you are going to bed!"

"It"s not too late for you to sleep after you pay!" Su"er was determined to fish money from Mu Jin.

Mu Jin saw that Su"er had always been looking up at him, so she squatted down. Her moon-white robes fell to the ground layer by layer, like a white lotus blooming in a pond.

"G.o.ddess, did you forget that you took away everything on me before you left? Only my clothes were left!"

Where did he get the silver from?

Su"er thought about it and agreed, "Then let"s keep it for now!"

Then, he turned around and walked back into the house. Mu Jin thought that Su"er had gone to sleep, and in the end, he dragged the Four Treasures out from the house.

He threw him a piece of paper, rolled up his sleeves and began to grind the ink. "You have to write me a promissory note in case you go back on your word!"

Mu Jin looked at Su"er"s posture and realized that she had trained a lot in writing before.

Mu Jin didn"t know whether to laugh or cry. "Little girl, you seem to have forgotten about the silver and jade artifacts that you retrieved from my body, right? These items together amount to at least a hundred thousand gold. Other than the two thousand gold that I owe you, you still owe me ninety-eight thousand gold.

The bony fingers pushed the white paper in front of Su"er.

At this time, the Su"er was the first to be stunned.

This … This, this, why was it like this?

Wait a minute, let her calculate. Her arithmetic was not good, so she couldn"t be fooled by him.

Su"er was stupefied for a moment, then she immediately counted with her fingers, and immediately shouted: "That"s not right, you lied to me, 10 minus 2 is 8, I should give you 8 taels!"

Then he quickly dipped his brush into the ink and scribbled something on the paper: I owe Uncle 8 taels of silver! After he finished writing, he pressed a large handprint on the back of the paper.

Mu Jin looked at Su"er all along with a speechless expression. He didn"t know if she really knew or if she had done it on purpose.
