Zeng Sanshui looked up. Sure enough, all the walls were pasted with posters containing the words "It's shameful to waste food. Charges will be incurred for packing leftovers!"

Zeng Sanshui looked at his leftover fruits, skewers and snacks and said, "Then pack them up!"

Just as the soldier was about to speak, he heard the soldier beside him say to Bai Xinshui, "Consort, the food you need to pack costs a total of 86 taels of silver." Then he emphasized, "We only accept gold, not silver and copper coins."

Bai Xinshui even suspected that there was something wrong with her ears. "86 taels? You're robbing money, right!"

The soldier said seriously, "According to the market price, it's already considered cheap. Originally, you should have paid 108 taels of silver."

Bai Xinshui was furious. "I've never heard of an envoy having to pay when visiting other countries. Are you crazy from being broke?"

The soldier suddenly pulled a long face. "It's shameful to waste food. Our Carefree Kingdom's money is the taxpayer's money. Why should we let you be extravagant and wasteful?"

"We allowed you to eat and drink here, but we didn't say that you were allowed to pack them away for free!"

"According to Consort Li, you're guests and if you fancy our Carefree Kingdom's mineral ores vein, do we have to hand it over with both hands?"

Bai Xinshui's face turned pale. "You, you're clearly twisting facts! If the country can't even afford a meal, don't treat me from the beginning!"

The soldier did not give in to her. "Since the Consort doesn't like our food, we won't prepare any more for you. Please pay for the takeaway and leave quickly!"

Before Bai Wutong even met them, this group of soldiers was already as arrogant as a halfwit. Anyone could give her an opening gambit.

There were scrutinizing gazes all around. Moreover, they were already in the territory of the Carefree Kingdom. It was impossible for them to fight this group of soldiers head-on.

Bai Xinshui had already guessed that Emperor Ling Hui had ill intentions when he asked their entire family to come to the southern frontier to persuade Bai Wutong to submit.

Now there were tigers in front and behind. They could not escape anywhere.

Seeing that Bai Xinshui and the soldiers of the Carefree Kingdom were in a deadlock, Bai Shining frowned and walked over. He took out a banknote. "Take it!" His tone was as if he was dismissing a dog. He said to Bai Xinshui, "There's really no need to lower yourself to argue with a group of rude people."

The soldier was not annoyed and emphasized, "We only accept gold."

Bai Shining's expression darkened. "You're too much!"

The soldier reasoned, "How can our Carefree Kingdom use your Ling Kingdom's banknotes? You're the ones who are going too far!"

Seeing that the argument was about to escalate, the smarter people hurriedly went outside to look for Qu Yuanxian.

Qu Yuanxian learnt about the entire situation. When he saw the piled delicacies at Bai Xinshui's table, he understood why the soldiers were charging them for it.

Just the abalones and prawns on the table cost no less than dozens of taels of silver. Besides, there were so many rare delicacies.

All of them were so expensive. If it was in the capital, they might not even be able to pay for the meal with a thousand taels of silver.
