After hearing the maid's report, the old lady thought she had heard wrongly: "Master and cousin?"
"yes."
The old lady couldn't help but frown.
Why did Qingqing and Boss come here together?
Could something happen again?
In the old lady's heart, her granddaughter was no longer a docile and obedient little sheep, but had become a hedgehog that would prick someone if she didn't get her way.
"please come in."
Soon the fine cotton curtain was raised, and Duan Shaoqing and Xin You walked in.
Duan Shaoqing was in front, with a gloomy face; Xin You was behind, with no emotion on his face.
"Mother, Qingqing and I are here to discuss something with you."
Duan Shaoqing's words were ordinary, but his face was not pretty. The old lady knew that the matter was not simple and signaled the people waiting in the room to leave.
"What's going on?" The old lady pulled the thin blanket aside and covered her legs.
Duan Shaoqing glanced at Xin You and said coldly: "Qingqing said she is old and wants to get back the money her parents left her and take care of it by herself in the future."
After hearing what Duan Shaoqing said, the old lady's expression changed, she stared at Xin You and asked, "Qingqing, is this what you told your uncle?"
Xin You nodded: "Yes."
The old lady took a deep breath and suppressed the anger that rushed to her forehead: "Qingqing, why did you suddenly think of this? Did your uncle say something that made you unhappy?"
When the old lady thought about it, even if her granddaughter had the idea of asking for her family's wealth, she should go to her directly. Now let's find the son first. It's very likely that the son is unhappy with this girl and wants to take the money home to vent his anger.
"Uncle is fine." Xin You said with a faint smile.
"Qingqing, why don't you go sit outside for a while, and I'll have a few words with your grandmother first." Duan Shaoqing saw that the old lady still had illusions, so she decided to talk to her mother first.
Instead of worrying about what this girl thinks, it is better to discuss how much money to spend to stabilize her.
"Okay." Xin You agreed happily.
Seeing her walking out, Duan Shaoqing said, "Leave that manuscript behind."
Xin You paused, then cooperatively took out the manuscript from the box and handed it to Duan Shaoqing, then lifted the curtain and walked out.
The heavy door curtain swayed slightly, then quickly returned to stillness.
Facing her son, the old lady was more direct: "What's going on? Are you unhappy with Qingqing?"
Duan Shaoqing smiled bitterly and handed the manuscript over: "Mother, let's take a look at this first."
The old lady took the manuscript and read it with confusion. Her face became uglier as she read it.
"Where did this come from?" After reading it, the old lady threw the manuscript on the table.
Duan Shaoqing glanced at the door: "Where else could it come from? It was written by Qingqing."
"What did she mean by writing this?"
Duan Shaoqing sighed: "Mother, couldn't you have imagined that she is using this to threaten us in order to get back those properties."
The old lady was not happy to hear the word "we": "It was originally left to her by your sister and brother-in-law. It's just that the young man was young, so I kept it for her."
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
It can be handed over to anyone, including son, daughter-in-law, and the real owner of the property, Kou Qingqing.
"I'm afraid it's not up to mother to have the final say..." Duan Shaoqing immediately said Xin You's threatening words.
The old lady was stunned, and slowly cast her eyes towards the door: "Qingqing really said that?"
"Will my son make things like this even more jealous? You only see her when she is well-behaved. In fact, her well-behavedness in the past few months is not all because it makes her happy. How does she make trouble when she is not satisfied? Have you forgotten?"
Xin You's achievements quickly flashed through the old lady's mind, leaving her speechless.
"If this manuscript spreads, I'm afraid my son's career will come to an end." Duan Shaoqing's face was gloomy, and he was really filled with hatred. "I just sent her out because I wanted to discuss with my mother how much money should be spent."
The old lady's expression kept changing. No matter how reluctant she was, she knew the importance. She gritted her teeth and said, "Give her one hundred thousand taels of silver."
"One hundred thousand?" Duan Shaoqing's voice trembled with distress, "Isn't one hundred thousand too much? I just took 20,000 taels to buy her a bookstore a few days ago."
The old lady understands the little girl's thoughts better than her son: "It's because the bookstore gave me 20,000 yuan to buy the bookstore. Now she wants to take home the money. Can she believe it when she says she only has 30,000 to 50,000 taels?"
Unlike Duan Shaoqing, who had murderous intentions, the old lady still held on to the expectation that her granddaughter and grandson would get married, and did not want to stalemate the relationship.
"Just follow mother's wishes."
After the mother and son discussed it, Duan Shaoqing called Xin You in.
"One hundred thousand taels?" Xin You frowned when the old lady said the number.
Duan Shaoqing was furious.
One hundred thousand taels is still not enough, you damn girl is so greedy!
The old lady was also unhappy with Xin You's reaction, but she didn't show it on her face: "I didn't give it all to you, grandma left some. Qingqing, you are still young after all, so you took all the money left by your parents. If something goes wrong, wouldn't there be no way out? Grandma will take care of these things for you, which is also a guarantee for you."
Xinyou listened silently, wanting to applaud the old lady's words.
It’s really a lotus flower with a brilliant tongue.
Fortunately, she had already seen the account books from Aunt Fang, otherwise she would have had no choice but to let the people in Shaoqing's house talk about it casually.
"I'm afraid I didn't keep some." Xin You emphasized the word "some" and put the box he brought in front of the old lady.
The box was used to hold the manuscript. The manuscript had just been taken out and became an empty box.
The old lady and Duan Shaoqing couldn't help but stare at the box. Xin You opened the lid of the box, lifted up the fine velvet cloth covering the bottom of the box, and took out the booklet at the bottom.
"Please take a look at it, grandma." Xinyou handed the booklet to the old lady.
The girl held the thin book with her slender fingers, with a faint smile on her lips.
The old lady didn't move for a moment, so Duan Shaoqing couldn't help but take the booklet and quickly opened it.
Xin You didn't care who read the thin account book first, but she was curious about the mother and son's reaction after reading the account book.
Duan Shaoqing was stunned when he saw the detailed records in the booklet.
Seeing this, the old lady took the book from his hand and flipped through it.
