The free night is the lowest point value. If​​​​​If you query the 5th night separately and check the individual nights you have booked, likely one of them is a lower value.

For example, nights 1 to 5 are 35k, 35k, 30k, 35k, 35k. If you book 4 nights it is 35x3 + 30 = 135. On adding the 5th night it is 35 x 4 = 140 as the 30k night is free
