Although Hua Jin felt that Hua Rong's description of Mr. Chu was inappropriate, he also felt that her insights into the Guangling Palace were very unique.
She also didn't believe that her aunt could return her to Jincheng County after she married into the Guangling Palace.
Although her aunt was dissatisfied with her pestering her third cousin, she didn't really want to chase them away, right?
So an aunt is an aunt, not something that an outsider like Miss Chen Er can compare to.
Feeling at ease, Hua Jin followed Hua Rong more calmly to Chen Anning's study room where he processed materials.
Chen Anning had just made tea and sat down. When she saw the two people with unkind expressions, she took two sips of tea slowly and said, "Is something wrong?"
Hua Rong said: "Does what you said before still count?"
Chen Anning said: "Which sentence are you referring to?"
Hua Rong: "When you were in Washington, you said that as long as we gave you five million taels, you would sell us your third cousin's wife's position."
Chen Anning glanced at Hua Jin. Although she knew that when she said selling to 'us', she meant Hua Jin, she still deliberately corrected her: "Five million taels is the price for one person. For two people, it's ten million taels." "
Hua Rong blushed, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Chen Anning said calmly: "When Xie Xun mentioned something to you earlier, I wanted to say it. His point was very good, but he didn't mention it to the point. It's true that you are so competitive and want to fight against me. Your eldest sister's support is mostly for yourself. In fact, it's not just your eldest sister who wants to make Xie Xun her concubine, you also want to do it, right?"
Hua Jin looked at Hua Rong.
After Hua Rong glanced at her, her face turned red and she said, "Don't be so rude!"
"Am I slandering others?" Chen Anning chuckled twice, "Although you and Miss Hua are sisters, you have to ask yourself. If it weren't for your hidden selfishness, at the banquet at the Guangling Palace, you would fight for your daughter's family. You don’t need fame and honor, so you act stupid and act like a fool?”
"Speaking of which, you are much smarter than your eldest sister."
"Your eldest sister is dedicated to safeguarding her own reputation, so she lets you charge into battle. But she doesn't think that the most important thing in this world is smart people. Her little scheming can be seen through by anyone with a little more brains. On the other hand, You, your reputation is gone, and the threshold of a powerful family will indeed not let you in easily, but your aunt is the Princess of Guangling, which means you will not be able to marry low. But the door of a powerful family has been closed to you, you Where else can I marry? But I can only marry into the Guangling Palace."
Hua Rong said: "You are talking nonsense! I have never..."
"Never thought about it this way?" Chen Anning sneered and interrupted her mercilessly, "Do you believe this yourself? Ask your eldest sister if she believes it?"
Hua Rong looked at Hua Jin and looked at Hua Jin's probing eyes. She took a step back injured and said, "Don't listen to her nonsense! I never thought about competing with you for your third cousin, I just..."
"You just...since we can't become wives, then we can all be concubines together and we can work together to deal with me, right?" Chen Anning interrupted her again at a crucial point and added the second half of the sentence. All.
Huarong Quarrel has never been Chen Anning's opponent.
Seeing that Chen Anning was getting more and more outrageous, and Hua Rong was looking at her more and more wrongly, she became anxious and said directly: "I don't like my third cousin at all!"
Chen Anning asked lightly: "Then why did you sacrifice your honor and honor to fight for your eldest sister? A woman's honor is greater than heaven, don't say anything hypocritical because she is your eldest sister. It's good that she is your eldest sister, but the eldest sister is still Can it be greater than your happiness for the rest of your life?"
"You think everyone is as ruthless and unjust as you!" Hua Rong sneered coldly.
After Chen Anning calmly took a sip of tea, she nodded and said, "Okay, kind-hearted Miss Hua San, I keep my word. How about five million? When will you give it to me?"
"What's the hurry!" Hua Rong snorted coldly.
Originally, she was afraid that Chen Anning would regret it, so she used five million as bait to make her agree with what she had said, and then offer another one million to buy the concubine's place. But at this moment, facing her half-questioning and half-disdainful gaze, he couldn't say anything about buying a concubine's place for one million yuan.
She can't let her look down on her!
Can……
She couldn't let Chen Anning look down upon her. In the eyes of Hua Jin, who was deliberately instigated by Chen Anning, it turned into a 'confirmation' that she also wanted to marry Xie Xun.
Because she said before coming that they couldn't afford five million.
They also agreed before coming that they would use one million to buy a place in the concubine's room.
But when she came here, she didn't mention a word about buying a concubine for one million yuan.
It’s hard not to overthink this.
Chen Anning saw from Hua Jin's expression that her goal had been achieved. Pulling up a pile of documents, she said, "Is there anything else?"
Hua Rong was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, so she turned around and left with a cold snort.
After walking a few steps, he found that Hua Jin had not followed, so he couldn't help but stop and look back.
Hua Jin didn't want Chen Anning to see the joke, so he forced himself to follow her.
Chen Anning looked at the backs of the two of them walking further and further away, and raised her lips: She is not their aunt or cousin, and she has no obligation to pamper them!
She thought the matter would finally come to an end.
But I didn't expect that Hua Jin and Hua Rong would come again seven days later.
Hua Jin handed her a banknote with a face value of one million taels, "I don't want the position of a common wife, I just want a concubine."
If you don’t have money, you don’t have money. What should you do with so many excuses?
Chen Anning looked at the bank note, then at her and Hua Rong, and then asked, "Who is this for?"
Hua Jin's expression froze for a moment, then he said, "Of course I bought it for myself."
Chen Anning immediately looked at Hua Rong.
Hua Rong glared at her hatefully.
Hua Jin didn't want to hear the two of them bickering anymore, and was afraid of the long nights and dreams, so he said, "I've already given you the money, do you want to give me a written note?"
Hua Rong said: "You don't want to regret it, do you?"
Chen Anning found a piece of paper at random, and after writing a few strokes, handed it to Hua Jin and said, "Do you think I am you, breaking my promise and going back on my word?"
When Hua Rong saw that Hua Jin had gotten the receipt, she looked at it with a cold snort, and after making sure there was no problem, she pulled Hua Rong away.
Chen Anning waited for them to go away and immediately went to find Wen Huan with the banknote.
"Where did you get such a large amount of money?" Wen Huan looked at the money in his hand and asked in disbelief.
The rescued children are at an age where they can eat and sleep.
The daily accommodation and food expenses in the inn are already a large expense.
For the parents and relatives who come to claim the child, their food, accommodation, travel expenses and travel expenses, as well as the subsidies provided by the family's difficulties, are a huge expense.
These expenses should be borne by the court.
But there is a war going on at the border, and bandits are still being suppressed in Jiangnan Road and Huainan Road. Military supplies in the two areas are already running low, so it is naturally impossible to allocate more money to resettle these children.
The Wen family has already provided a subsidy of 10,000 taels of silver.
The Chu family also provided a subsidy of fifty thousand taels of silver.
Chen Anning also took out the profits from the shops that Xie Xun gave her.
The Guangling Palace invested no less than one hundred thousand taels of silver in total.
But it's still not enough.
"I earned it from selling Xie Xun." Chen Anning said lightly.
Wen Huan was puzzled.
Chen Anning didn't explain much, just said: "Split this million taels of silver into two parts, leave one part for the guards who suppress the bandits, and arrange for these children to have a good meal at night."
Wen Huan said "Oh" and made arrangements.
After Chen Anning helped deal with several pairs of parents who came to claim their children, she walked out of the inn and slowly returned to the study with the children shouting at Miss Chen Er.
