Chapter 383 - 384: Compensation in Silver
Liang Rou hadn’t expected to cross paths again with her enemy so soon.
With fury, she looked at Shao He and said, "Just because you are the Fifth Prince’s Consort, you think you can act recklessly like this?"
"I’m sorry, it was my fault." Shao He had been walking too quickly and hadn’t seen her coming.
"A simple apology and that’s it? Look at my hand—it’s scraped!" Liang Rou, helped up by her maid, glared at Shao He with eyes full of hatred.
Since the last incident, the way her father had treated her made her feel out of favor, so whenever she saw Shao He, she couldn’t contain her temper and wanted to teach her a lesson, even if it was just gaining a verbal upper hand.
"If that’s the case, tell me how much silver you want," Shao He, knowing Liang Rou’s disposition and not wanting to argue with her, just wanted to leave the place quickly.
Liang Rou was startled; she had initially planned to manipulate this opportunity to extort some silver from Shao He, but to her surprise, Shao He offered compensation proactively.
With a haughty tilt of her head, and a glance from the corner of her eye, Liang Rou continued, "Silver, you say..."
"What happened here?" A resonant voice arrived, and with it Pei Haolan appeared before everyone.
Seeing him, Liang Rou approached and said, "Greetings to Your Highness. Doctor Shao struck me, and we were just discussing compensation in silver."
"Oh? And how does Miss Liang lack that bit of silver? Besides, surely Doctor Shao did not do it on purpose," Pei Haolan smiled as he spoke.
