old lady"s face changed drastically. He took a long time to regain his senses and was about to ask, but then he heard the third wife call out first."What?" Four hundred thousand silver. What exactly did she buy?
Third Wife"s eyes were wide open, her face filled with pain, as if Bai Lier was spending her money.
The others also had incredulous looks on their faces.
Everyone was curious as to what Bai Li had bought for him to use so much silver.
Looking at the excited third wife, the accountant nervously shook his head, "No, no."
Hearing the word "not", everyone felt relieved.
old lady relaxed, his face turning slightly pale and almost falling down on his purple sandalwood chair.
Third Wife heaved a sigh of relief, waved her handkerchief and patted her chest, "You must be wrong, you scared me to death."
"Seriously, you can even say that wrong. It"s just a waste of time to scare people." The Zhao Family waved her handkerchief and pretended to speak.
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, the accountant nervously closed his eyes and loudly said, "It"s four hundred thousand gold."
There was silence again, an extraordinary silence, an odd silence.
Hearing the two words "golden", the hand which old lady was holding the buddhist beads fiercely shook, and his face instantly became deathly pale.
Third Wife regained her senses, her eyes opened wide as if she was looking at a fool.
"Have you gone mad? Four hundred thousand gold, did she buy a city?"
Third Wife was not wrong this time, those remote small cities might not even be worth four hundred thousand gold.
Zhao Family stood up immediately and glared at the accountant.
"Exactly, what can she buy that costs four hundred thousand gold? Even if she used four hundred thousand gold, why would she come to the public and take the money?"
Zhao Family clenched her fists excitedly, her eyes full of indignation.
The silver from the General"s Estate would always belong to her son, so what right did she have to give it to that fool Bai Lier?
After the Second Madame recovered from her daze, the corner of her lips curled up imperceptibly.
Four hundred thousand gold, this was equivalent to taking half of old lady"s life! This time, the young miss had done something earth-shattering!
Looking at old lady"s pale face, the two Madame s suddenly had the urge to laugh out loud.
Bai Ruoyu squinted her eyes. Four hundred thousand gold, this Bai Lier, what did she want to do.
Looking at the excited Third Wife and Zhao Family, the accountant awkwardly spread his hands and said, "First Miss used the official seal."
It was because Eldest Miss used the official seal and had a large number of people that he was in a dilemma.
Upon hearing the two words "official seal", Third Wife and Zhao Family instantly stopped eating.
According to the rules of the General"s Estate, the seal of the General"s Estate s could mobilize all of the a.s.sets of the General"s Estate s. So, forget about the four hundred thousand gold, even if Bai Li emptied the treasury, no one would be able to stop him.
"Evil creature!"
old lady finally could not take it anymore. He slammed the table and the Buddhist Jade Bead instantly crumbled into dust.
For a moment, the only sound that could be heard was the sound of buddhist beads falling to the ground.
Everyone was startled by old lady"s sudden action, they stood quietly on the spot, not daring to move.
The accountant was so scared that both his legs went limp and he almost kneeled down.
"Show me that manservant"s proof."
His sharp eyes looked straight at the accountant. The accountant trembled and immediately bowed, "Yes."
With trembling hands, he took out a piece of paper from his sleeve and handed it over.
Chun Xi stepped forward to take the paper, but Third Wife s.n.a.t.c.hed it away first.
Third Wife looked at the official seal on the paper and immediately widened her eyes in anger, "It really is our General"s Estate"s official seal. old lady, take a look."
Third Wife handed the doc.u.ments over to him in a panic.
old lady took the paper, his sinister eyes staring unwaveringly at the official seal on the paper.
Bai Lier...
At the moment, old lady only wished he could eat Bai Li"s flesh. Drinking Bai Li"s blood would help him vent the hatred in her heart.
"What do we do now? Four hundred thousand taels of gold! It"s not four hundred taels of gold, it"s not four thousand taels of gold, nor is it forty thousand taels of gold …"
When the third wife saw the four hundred thousand taels of gold on the paper, she couldn"t help crying.
If he gave out this four hundred thousand taels of gold, wouldn"t it be equivalent to digging out her heart and meat?
Zhao Family also sullenly said, "That"s right, this is four hundred thousand gold, you just went for broke."
He could still hear the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng. If he were to give away the gold, he wouldn"t even be able to hear the sound of water splas.h.i.+ng.
"Right, that fool used to have a mental illness, could it be that he was tricked by someone?" Thinking about something, Zhao Family suddenly opened her eyes wide.
When everyone heard this, their eyes lit up.
Even if he was sick, that was in the past. The current Bai Lier was smarter than any of them.
Third Wife wiped the corner of his eyes, waving the handkerchief, she said, "That"s right, wasn"t she severely injured before? How can you go out and buy things now? Don"t tell me that she took our General"s Estate"s official seal to cheat him of his money? "
This silver would have already belonged to the third house sooner or later, so Bai Lier definitely would not take it for herself.
The old lady lowered his eyes in thought for a moment, then raised his hand, "Go and bring me that servant."
"Yes."
The accountant immediately bowed and left, and very quickly, he came in with the servants of the Treasure Pavilion.
"Greetings, Old Madame, Greetings, Madame."
As soon as the attendant entered the room, he bowed to everyone in a formal manner.
No one said anything. Everyone"s eyes were fixated on the attendant standing in the middle, as if they could tell anything just by looking at his face.
Sensing that the atmosphere was a little strange, the manservant slightly frowned, but he maintained his composure and continued to stand there obediently.
After observing for a long time, the old lady finally spoke coldly.
"You are a servant of the Treasure Pavilion."
"Yes."
The attendant bowed slightly and replied respectfully.
old lady squinted his eyes, "Let me ask you, is our young miss going to your shop to buy something?"
"Yes." The attendant nodded.
"How many things did you buy?" The old lady asked again.
"Three." The attendant answered truthfully.
"Which three?"
"A mask, a pair of golden needles, and a dagger." The attendant replied respectfully.
"How dare you!"
old lady"s face turned cold, he suddenly slammed the table and shouted, "Where did this shameless person come from, how dare he come to our General"s Estate to swindle money. Men, take him down!"
With old lady"s order, servants immediately rushed in and picked up the servants.
He only looked at old lady coldly and said, "Old Madame said that this little one swindled money, does he have any evidence?"
old lady frowned and did not make a sound.
The attendant scoffed, "You guys don"t have any evidence, yet you dare to take someone for free. What, do you want to lynch him?"
Bai Ruoyu suddenly stood up and walked in front of the servant.
"Isn"t what you just said evidence? A mask, a set of golden needles, and a dagger would cost four hundred thousand gold.
Looking at the arrogant Bai Ruoyu who was like a peac.o.c.k, the servant smirked.
"This young lady is wrong. Four hundred thousand gold taels is only the price of needles and daggers. The other mask is twenty thousand silver taels."
The attendant kindly reminded everyone that he wanted more than four hundred thousand taels of gold. Twenty thousand taels of silver was something he couldn"t afford to lose because of the heart of that Heavenly Immortal lady.
He had heard that the Miss Bai was not favoured by the General"s Estate in the past, but now it seemed that the rumors were true. As long as Eldest Miss had some status in the old Madame, he would not be tied her up.
When old lady heard this, he immediately looked down at the paper in his hands. Seeing that there was indeed another twenty thousand silver coins, he was so angry that his eyes turned red.
Third Wife was so angry that she immediately jumped up, "A mask costs 20,000 taels of silver, a set of golden needles and a dagger costs 400,000 taels of gold, you still dare to say that this is not a mafia store?"
That"s right, do you think that it"s so easy to cheat our General"s Estate"s silver when you see how easily Bai Lier can be bullied, selling a pile of sc.r.a.p metal to her at a high price, and then coming to our General"s Estate to swindle gold?
Zhao Family also stared at the servant angrily as he cursed.
Hearing Zhao Family call Bai Lier a fool, the servant was immediately unhappy.
He fiercely pushed aside the two servants holding onto him, looked at Third Wife and Zhao Family with disdain, and said: "Is it that Miss Bai is r.e.t.a.r.ded, or have you two not seen the world before?"
A group of ignorant earth leopards actually said that a Heavenly Immortal lady like the Miss Bai was a fool, in his opinion, they were the fools.
"You …"
Seeing the servant"s contemptuous gaze, Third Wife was instantly enraged. She pointed at the servant and was about to curse.
The servant ignored the Third Wife and directly turned to the old lady to explain, "A Spirit Grade Mask costs twenty thousand taels of silver, while the gold needle is a Mastered Artifact and the dagger is a Holy Weapons. If these two things were placed in the auction house, forget about four hundred thousand gold, even eight hundred thousand gold might not be enough to buy them."
Bai Ruoyu"s eyes flashed. She actually bought treasures and Holy Weapons?
Everyone else"s faces lit up in realization. No wonder they spent so much money to buy such a good item.
Seeing that no one said anything, the boy raised his eyes proudly and said, "What our Treasure Pavilion sells are all precious treasures. If your General"s Estate is unable to afford the money, then you can just say so. Perhaps I can even give you a discount, but if you all want to slander me, then our Treasure Pavilion is not someone to be easily bullied. "
The attendant straightened his back as he spoke, a solemn expression on his face.
He wasn"t afraid of them. If they wanted to slander him, it would depend on whether their master would agree or not.
The attendant"s words were like a resounding slap to everyone"s face.
Especially old lady, at this moment, his old face had already turned the color of a pig"s liver.
old lady usually wanted face the most, but at this moment, being scolded by a servant in front of his that he couldn"t afford the money, she felt like his face was being slapped.
"Take him to get the silver."
old lady"s face was cold as he expressionlessly waved his hand.
"Yes." "Yes sir!" The accountant immediately agreed and left with the manservant.
After the servant left, Third Wife hurriedly moved in front of old lady. "old lady has really given him silver."
"Yeah, that"s four hundred thousand gold." Zhao Family also anxiously walked over.
When he heard "four hundred thousand gold", old lady"s face turned pale as his heart ached.
"You two shut up and get out of here."
old lady held onto his chest, staring at Third Wife and Zhao Family with eyes filled with killing intent.
