The book was very thin and the old lady flipped through it quickly.
Her hands were shaking, her face was shaking, her eyes were shaking, and her whole body was in a state that seemed to collapse at any time.
Duan Shaoqing was still concerned about his old mother and watched the old lady's reaction with a worried look.
Xin You looked gloomy, waiting for the next move.
Now that we've reached this point, there's no need to be nice.
The old lady slowly looked at Xin You, looking at her as carefully as she did when her granddaughter came to Beijing four years ago.
In four years, the girl at that time grew into a young girl, and her facial features opened up and stretched. It was always quiet before, and I didn't notice it until I looked so closely. Now I realize that there has actually been a big change in the eyebrows.
The old lady even felt that the girl in front of her was a little strange.
Is this still her sensitive and well-behaved granddaughter?
"Qingqing, where did this book come from?" After a long time, the old lady's somewhat erratic voice sounded.
"Of course it was left behind by my mother." Xin You's eyes rolled, and he glanced at the old lady and Duan Shaoqing. "This book was copied, and there are several copies in the bookstore. Oh, so are the manuscripts. In addition to me, the bookstore manager and others also All."
Seeing Duan Shaoqing's expression change, Xin You smiled and said, "But don't worry, uncle, they won't open it and read it privately. People like these in the bookstore don't have much ability, but they have enough respect for me as their boss."
Duan Shaoqing had a dark face and clenched his fist hard.
Is this threatening him not to act rashly?
It was not that Duan Shaoqing had never thought about taking advantage of the opportunity when his niece came back to simply leave her in the house and tell the public that she was sick.
The dead girl had no other relatives in the capital, so it was natural for her to stay at her grandfather's house to recuperate. Who could force her way in to check on her?
But when his sense returned, he gave up the idea.
With people like Princess Zhaoyang and Marquis Changle watching, this is still a bit risky, and the old lady is not well ventilated here.
Now it seems that this girl has been on guard for a long time.
Also, how could this girl not plan for her own safety if she could be so careful at every step? Sure enough, we still need to comfort her first and let her relax for a while before taking action.
Xin You left some time for the two of them to digest their emotions, and looked at the old lady: "Grandma, this account book contains one million taels of silver, as well as some fields and shops. Qingqing is not an ungrateful person. She has given up her favor in the Shaoqing Mansion for four years. You've worked hard. Let's do this, I only need 800,000 taels, and the rest will be used to honor you on my mother's behalf."
"Eight hundred thousand?" The old lady was trembling with anger, "Qingqing, do you know how much eight hundred thousand is? This is not eight hundred taels, eight thousand taels!"
Xin You smiled: "Whether it is eight hundred taels or eight hundred thousand taels, the amount is not the most important. What is important is the ownership of this property. Even if it is eight million taels, isn't it still green?"
Could it be that after taking this huge sum of money for so many years, you thought it belonged to the Shaoqing Mansion?
"My grandma thought I was too young now and said she would give it to me when I leave the government. But I am about to turn seventeen, and I have reached the age to leave the government. During this period, I have also proved that I am not unable to keep money by opening a bookstore. I will not give it to me until I leave the government. What is the need for me? When the time comes to leave the cabinet, will I say that my in-laws can’t trust me again, so I’ll stay in Shaoqing’s Mansion as a way out for me?”
There are countless reasons why you don't want to spit out the wealth you have eaten. In the final analysis, it is just greed.
"Qingqing, what you said is that you don't trust grandma, right?" The old lady looked distressed.
The girl looked at her with dark eyes: "When Qingqing comes out of the palace, will grandma give me one million taels of silver and all the paved fields mentioned in the book?"
The old lady hesitated.
Of course it's impossible!
Xin You smiled: "Qingqing wants to take care of his own property now, and he only needs 800,000 yuan."
"What are you doing with so much money? The bookstore is no better than home. What if there is a thief?"
"Grandma, why are you worried about something that hasn't happened yet? I heard that the palace has been burned down, and no place is absolutely safe. If there is a thief, Qingqing should bear it."
The girl is clear
His eyes turned to Duan Shaoqing, with an impatient expression on his face: "If my grandmother and uncle think so, I, a junior, won't waste my time. I will go back to the bookstore first."
Seeing her getting up, Duan Shaoqing said anxiously: "Stop!"
Xin You tilted her head and looked at him.
Duan Shaoqing controlled the distortion of his expression and gave the old lady a wink: "Mother, since Qingqing wants to take care of the property by herself, let her follow her, so that she understands that our Shaoqing Mansion has never had any intention of dealing with these properties. "
The old lady took a deep breath to relieve the pain that was suffocating her: "Qingqing, you didn't just take out the 800,000 taels. Part of the money was borrowed, and part of the money was used to buy a promising shop. I thought You'll start taking care of it after you get engaged..."
"Grandma means you can't take it out?"
"If you want it now, the amount you can come up with is about 400,000 taels. The rest may take a while."
Xinyou shook his head.
The old lady's eyes turned cold: "What, why can't I give you the rest later? Qingqing, do you still regard your grandmother as a relative?"
Xin You raised her hand and pressed her eyebrows, her voice full of exhaustion: "Grandma, that's it for now, let's not talk about family ties. I want 800,000 taels, and I'll get it tomorrow at the latest."
"It's impossible tomorrow." The old lady ignored Duan Shaoqing's wink and said, "The most we can collect is five hundred thousand taels."
The remaining 300,000 taels were naturally dragged down.
After this girl got a huge sum of five hundred thousand taels, she would not be stupid enough to fight the Shaoqing Mansion to the death.
The old lady knows very well the difference in mentality between those who are barefoot and those who wear shoes.
Xin You was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Does the Shaoqing Mansion intend to marry the Guchang Bo Mansion?"
The old lady's eyes tightened: "Why do you ask this?"
"Who does Guchangbo Mansion like?"
The old lady felt guilty: Could this girl have taken a fancy to Prince Guchangbo?
Seeing that the old lady was hesitant and silent, Xin You asked directly: "Is she Ling's cousin?"
The old lady frowned: "Qingqing, why are you so concerned about this? Do you have any ideas?"
"I don't want cousin Ling to marry Prince Guchangbo."
The old lady looked angry: "Qingqing, you are a little girl, do you care too much?"
Is the third girl looking for Qingqing to cry?
"Six hundred thousand."
"What?" The old lady didn't understand.
"Grandma promised me to reject cousin Ling's marriage to Crown Prince Guchang, so I only need 600,000 taels of silver, and everything else is to honor you."
It wanted 800,000 taels, but the old lady said she would give her 500,000 taels first, and the remaining 300,000 taels would probably be delayed indefinitely.
It will cost 800,000 taels first, and then it will be reduced to 600,000 taels. It will not be a big problem to get them all, and it can also solve Duan Yunling's troubles.
And her goal from the beginning was to get back 60% of Kou Qingqing's family wealth, which was an amount that would make the old lady feel painful but would not drive her crazy.
"I agree!" Duan Shaoqing readily agreed without waiting for the old lady to speak.
