Chapter 120 - 119 Complicated Affairs
Jiang Yifan swept a look at Jinrong with clear irritation and said, "A mere three hundred taels of silver, this official can still afford to take out." What does it mean to truly not want to be involved? He was truly afraid of this woman, even if she had changed a lot, he didn’t want to have the slightest bit to do with her, was that okay?
When Jinrong heard Jiang Yifan’s tone soften, he instantly felt relieved. As a friend, no matter what, Ye Xinyan was Jiang Yifan’s ex-wife. Getting involved with Ye Xinyan without dragging Jiang Yifan into it was indeed quite inconvenient.
He laughed and said, "I knew it, Yuanfan, you’re not a narrow-minded person who can’t see the big picture. What about the accountant? When will you send him over? Don’t tell me you trust me that much, ah, it’s better to keep business matters clear to avoid any future fallout over money. Although I, Sixth Master, don’t hold any special attachment to these silver coins, I can’t afford to lose face.
His Highness Prince Yu, in a cheerful mood, seemed to be speaking a bit off-kilter.
Jiang Yifan glanced at Jinrong with evident distaste, thinking it ridiculous to send an accountant over for such a petty amount of silver. Your Highness, has your brain gone haywire again?
He snorted coldly, "Isn’t it just three hundred taels of silver? To spend the effort of one person on three hundred taels of silver, such a loss-making transaction is something I cannot afford. Let Ye Xinyan keep her own accounts for now. Once more money is added, I will send someone then."
After dropping these words, Jiang Yifan no longer cared to deal with Jinrong, not even bothering with an excuse to leave, he turned around and left to discuss county affairs with the county magistrate, which had been previously interrupted.
As he walked out, he fumed in silence, contemplating these officials and runners who fed on the court’s official salary; sloppy in their work, without a shred of efficiency, it was the official salary that made them lazy.
