Substitute Bride Phoenix, The Tyrant's Pampered Demon Empress - Chapter 487

Chapter 487: Sold For An Exorbitant Price

The boss lady had a thought, then smiled. “Lord Xu, I’m not going to lie. Qing’er is extraordinarily beautiful. The kind of beauty that could bring down kingdoms. These divine qualities are difficult to find.”

“Really?” Xu Qingjue was a little shocked.

The boss lady smiled confidently and said, “Lord Xu, don’t worry. If I’m lying, don’t hesitate to come find me. I’m willing to refund you ten times over.”

Xu Qingjue couldn’t conceal the smile on his face. It seems like the boss lady was speaking the truth. Qing’er was indeed a real beauty.

The boss lady continued, “What’s more, Lord Xu, you have no idea. Qing’er’s body doesn’t have a single flaw. It’s soft and fair. I promise that her skin is soft to the touch like a cloud.”

Xu Qingjue swallowed his drool.

The boss lady saw that the greedy Xu Qingjue was completely hooked, then started to talk prices. “Lord Xu, seeing as you’re a regular customer, I can sell young lady Qing’er for this price.

With that said, she reached her ten fingers out for Xu Qingjue to see.

Xu Qingjue was stunned. “Te… Ten million taels?”

He might be rich, but ten million taels was still a large amount of money to him. The total of the Xu family’s fortune was only about a hundred million taels. On top of that, the Xu family business had not been doing well in recent years. They hadn’t been able to make ends meet. To fork out ten million taels right now would break his heart!

The boss lady knew that Xu Qingjue was always condescending, arrogant, opinionated, and was most scared of people looking down on them. She immediately put on an annoyed look. “Since you feel that it’s too expensive, then forget it. I’ll just sell her to someone else. After all, there are plenty of people who are willing to pay up in Tai City.”

Just then, she turned around and planned to leave.

Xu Qingjue thought about the ten million taels that the boss lady said and immediately stopped her. “Wait! Wait! I must buy young lady Qing’er today!”

Xu Qingjue’s lips curved into a wicked smile. Although the case of the measles at the Xu family manor had miraculously disappeared, they still hadn’t caught the traitor. No matter what, he had to give Shenwei Castle an answer and he had to get enough compensation for the Xu family.

The boss lady turned on her heel, then flashed a captivating smile at Xu Qingjue. “Lord Xu, you’re a treasured guest. Only a lord has the right to enjoy such a beautiful woman like Qing’er!”

Xu Qingjue raised her head arrogantly. “Dress Qing’er up well. In the afternoon, I plan to entertain the Lord of Shenwei here at noon and make Qing’er lift spirits!”

The boss lady hit the jackpot! “Lord Xu, don’t worry. Leave the afternoon’s performance on me. I’ll definitely leave you satisfied!”

Xu Qingjue waved his arm.

The boss lady couldn’t contain her joy as she left.

“What? I need to perform for Lord Xu and the Lord of Shenwei Castle?” Said Chu Qingchuan in shock.

The boss lady furrowed his brows. “What? You don’t want to?”

Chu Qingchuan shook her head, then turned around. “Mama, you should leave. I won’t do it.”

The boss lady walked over to grab Chu Qingchuan’s little hand and put on a pleading look on her face. “Good Qing’er. Please do it for Mama. Don’t worry, you can wear a veil so no one can recognize you. You’ll just have to perform. Once the performance is over, Mama will let you leave tomorrow. What do you think?”

Chu Qingchuan’s eyes widened, and her face looked delighted. “Mama, you promise to let me leave?”

The boss lady nodded and flashed a warm smile. “Mhm, but you must first perform at noon! That way, Mama will be able to earn a lot of taels. After all, who doesn’t know that the Lord of Shenwei is not short of taels.”

Chu Qingchuan furrowed her brows in contemplation, then nodded in anguish. “Very well, Mama. I promise to perform for the Lord of Shenwei at noon.”

“Fantastic. Qing’er, you’re truly Mama’s good child!”
