Chapter 1226: Dog Servant
"My medicinal ingredients are precious, and as for silver, of course it’s required, and it’s a sky-high price. I’m just not sure if Prince Pu’s Mansion can afford it?"
Upon hearing this, the steward’s face turned bitter. He thought to himself, even if it’s a sky-high price, we must sell everything we have to save the Prince’s family. If they die, what good is more silver at Prince Chu’s Mansion? Moreover, the most important thing is, if something happens to the Prince’s family, the Emperor certainly won’t let us servants go. In the end, if the Prince’s family dies, we will also have to be buried with them.
This is not just a scare tactic; there have been such instances in Moli Country, where the whole master’s family was exterminated, and the servants, even if they were lucky enough to escape, had to be buried with them. That’s why the servants of noble families are quite loyal, because they deeply understand that if one prospers, all prosper; if one suffers, all suffer. Their lives are closely linked to the life and death of their masters.
If they happen to die, it’s not much, but if the master dies before them, not of a natural death, but from a sudden calamity, they have no hope of survival.
The steward gritted his teeth: "Master, name your price."
"Steward, can you make the decision?"
"Name the amount; if it’s really not possible, I’ll have the Prince leave a handprint, and then I’ll go to the account to withdraw." At this point, the steward couldn’t help but sigh: "Alas! At this time, saving lives is the most important thing!"
"This pill is made from a thousand-year-old ginseng and many precious medicinal ingredients. Normally, it is hard to buy even with a thousand gold. Since you’ve met me, it’s their fate not to end. How about this, I’ll give a special price for this fate."
"Alright, alright!"
Upon hearing that it’s made from thousand-year-old ginseng and many other precious herbs, the steward’s heart skipped a beat, but upon hearing there’s a fate price, his eyes brightened: "How much?"
"10,000 taels per person."
"Hiss!"
