The prince blinked his round eyes at Chu Xinian, as if hinting something like 'help me'. However, Chu Xinian lowered his sight and straightened his sleeves, pretending not to notice.

Xie Lanting couldn't think of any solution for a while. Although he had a secret assassin behind, he couldn't just put a knife on someone's neck to force others to donate for the relief. This kind of errand is notoriously thankless and offending.

Xie Lanting frowned: "You go back first, and I'll tell you when I figure out a way."

The prince touched the tip of his nose: "I never expect you to figure out a way..."

Who he wanted to find was Chu Xinian.

Xie Lanting squinted his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a fake smile: "If the beggar is too hesitant that the food is spoiled, then don't eat it and go to someone else's door to collect food for yourself."

The beggar: "Why, aren't you going to serve Gu some cup of tea before leaving?"

Xie Lanting sneered: "Okay, then drink as much as you want, and leave when you finish. I will watch you drink."

So, in the end, the three of them sat around a table, staring at each other.

Chu Xinian lowered his eyes and thought about what the Prince said just now. The matter of raising funds for the relief food is really tricky, but if it is done well, it is a great achievement. The officials are shrewd and cunning, so it is naturally impossible to find flaws from them, so they can only make money from those merchants.

In an instant, a solution came to Chu Xinian's mind. However, he didn't know if he was deliberately teasing the Prince. Seeing the other party pouring tea into his stomach cup by cup, he just kept silent.

Xie Lanting pushed Chu Xinian under the table and said in a disgusted tone, "Hurry up and think of a way to send him back."

Otherwise, this shameless Prince would really live in their house overnight.

Chu Xinian pressed Xie Lanting's hand: "It takes time to think of a good solution, General, don't worry, there will be an answer for this."

Xie Lanting gritted his teeth: "If you're going to think about it any longer, he'll gonna take all the things in my mansion."

Chu Xinian looked up subconsciously and saw that the Prince drank all the tea and was amazed by the antique ornaments in the house. It is an ancient relic from the previous dynasty, and it must be worth a lot of money if it is sold. As he kept looking, he handed the relic to his servant behind him to serve as a donation from General Xie for the victims of the disaster.

It's just that he already took an expensive one, but what does it mean to take another after another?

The Prince fixed his eyes on a Buddha statue from the Great Ming, pointed at it, and said in amazement: "Hey, this looks pretty expensive, so lifelike and ingenious. Can't help it. There are too many good things in General Xie's house, and you won't need all of it, so Gu will accept it with a smile."

Ready to repeat the old trick, he stuffed it into the arms of the servant, but suddenly, a slender hand pressed down on the Buddha statue. It was Chu Xinian, and he said with a half-smile: "It's a good Buddha statue, but if His Highness wants to take it away, wouldn't it be blasphemy to sell it I wouldn't do it if I were you. You might be punished by the heaven."

Xie Lanting was more straightforward, looking at the Prince, and he sneered: "Are you not afraid of being struck by lightning?"

After saying that, he immediately snatched the Buddha statue back.
