To Duan Shaoqing, it didn't matter which daughter he married into the Guchangbo Mansion. If he could save two hundred thousand taels of silver by not marrying his younger daughter, he would be a fool not to agree.
He has plans to get back the money he gave out, but he has to find the right time. But if you have so much money outside, you won't be able to rest assured. It would be great if you could spend less than 200,000 yuan.
The old lady didn't expect her son to agree so quickly and gave him an angry look.
Duan Shaoqing winked.
Although the old lady was dissatisfied, she still relaxed: "Then it's up to you."
This girl can ask for less than 200,000 taels of silver for the three girls, which shows that she still cannot escape the innocence and loyalty of a child.
And she sees that her granddaughter and her second grandson have a better relationship, and when they get married in the future, the money will never go outside.
The old lady comforted herself, but she was actually still distressed.
"Six hundred thousand taels, can I get it tomorrow?" Xin You asked Duan Shaoqing.
Although Duan Shaoqing showed no trace, Xin You could still guess what he was thinking.
It's just that he wants to use money to stabilize her first, and then wait for the opportunity to make money and kill her.
If the other party has this plan, in his opinion, the huge sum of money will be temporarily kept by her. If there is a threat of dismissal from office, I will definitely agree first.
Duan Shaoqing gritted his teeth and said, "I'll try my best to help you."
Xin You bent her knees slightly: "Thank you grandma, thank you uncle."
The old lady had something to say to Duan Shaoqing, so she said calmly, "You should go back and rest first."
"Qingqing excuses himself."
When Xin You left, the old lady's face darkened: "Why did you agree to do it in such a hurry? Mrs. Gu Changbo is interested in Ling'er."
"I only met once or twice, just to have a better impression of Ling'er, and it's not like I have to be her."
"I will take Hua'er to you the day after tomorrow. What if Mrs. Gu Changbo is dissatisfied?"
"The Prince Guchangbo has just made a big mistake. It is not easy to arrange a suitable marriage. Otherwise, he would not think of Shaoqing's house, which he usually has little contact with. As long as Hua'er's performance is not bad, Mrs. Guchangbo will not be dissatisfied. Even if my mother changes someone, she will not give up her marriage to Shaoqing Mansion easily."
The old lady nodded slightly.
That's two hundred thousand taels of silver. Even if the marriage to the Guchang Bo Mansion fails, it's still worth it.
"Mother, you'd better prepare 600,000 taels of silver to prevent Qingqing from causing trouble again."
The old lady said with dissatisfaction: "I promised to give her five hundred thousand taels first, but you deserve it."
Duan Shaoqing smiled bitterly: "If she is not satisfied, she will cause her son to be dismissed from office, and Shaoqing's house will be criticized, and our family will be destroyed."
Anyway, whether it is 500,000 taels or 600,000 taels, I will get it back when the girl dies.
But now, Duan Shaoqing doesn't want the old lady to know that he has murderous intentions towards his niece.
After hearing this, the old lady became angry: "I didn't realize that this girl is cold-hearted and cold-hearted."
"You still love her too much."
The old lady was unhappy: "Why, am I wrong to love her? Your sister died long ago, and she is your sister's only flesh and blood."
"It's true that mother loves her, but it's good for the child to be sensible and kind. If she is the kind of person who is naturally cold-hearted and profit-oriented, her ambition will be indulged." Duan Shaoqing took the opportunity to bury a thorn in the old lady's heart.

the result of.
Every time she returned to Shaoqing's Mansion, the girl would stay overnight and then return to the bookstore. Could it be that there was a falling out?
"We have negotiated and will give me 600,000 taels of silver tomorrow." From Xiaolian, Xin You had nothing to hide. The money belonged to Kou Qingqing.
Xiaolian stopped suddenly and almost fell down.
A hand reached out and held her steady: "Don't get excited."
"Girl!" Xiaolian covered her mouth, tears falling.
600,000 taels, the girl actually asked for 600,000 taels of family property for her girl!
Xin You patted Xiao Lian's arm and said, "Be careful that people from Shaoqing's house see it. I really want to cry. I'll cry again when I get the money."
Xiaolian hurriedly wiped away her tears: "Girl, let's go back to the bookstore -"
Xin You lowered her voice, but her tone was calm: "It's important to be on guard against others. It's safer to go back to the bookstore."
Although he judged rationally, Duan Shaoqing would not take action now, but what if he was crazy and did not act according to common sense?
There is no need to put yourself in danger when you have a choice.
Xiaolian's face turned pale: "Girl, are they—"
"Let's talk about it back to the bookstore."
Xiaolian nodded and quickened her pace.
The two walked to the door, and the doorman asked with a smile: "Cousin, are you going out?"
Xin You stopped and replied with a smile: "Suddenly I remembered that there was something else going on at the bookstore, so I went back first. Could you please tell me and my grandma."
Xiaolian immediately took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and stuffed it into the disciple's hand.
"How can you ask for money from your cousin? This is the duty of an old slave..." The servant refused and put the money away neatly.
After walking out of the Shaoqing's Mansion, Xiaolian breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm finally out."
Xin You couldn't help but laugh: "Don't be so nervous. I want to save face in Shaoqing's house, so I won't do it so blatantly. I just went back to the bookstore just in case."
"Girl, if you come to Shaoqing's Mansion tomorrow, can you really get it?" Xiaolian still couldn't believe that Shaoqing's Mansion was willing to give out such a large sum of money.
Xin You glanced back at the mansion and smiled sarcastically: "They have something more important to them."
What's more, in Duan Shaoqing's eyes, the 600,000 taels may only be temporarily kept by her.
When they arrived at the bookstore, Xin You did not go back to the east courtyard directly, but walked in through the bookstore door.
"Your distinguished guest——" Liu Zhou saw that it was Xin You and was stunned for a moment, "My boss, aren't you going back to Shaoqing's Mansion today?"
"Something happened." Xin You looked around the study hall and asked Liu Zhou, "Has Mr. He been here today?"
"No. Mr. He seems to come less often recently."
Xin You actually discovered it too.
It seems that since the conversation about Aunt Gui that day, Mr. He didn't show up for several days. When he came to the bookstore again, he was chased by Prince Gu Changbo who broke the evidence and didn't come again after that.
Xin You was inexplicably relieved, but also slightly uncomfortable.
"Liu Zhou, do you know where the Changle Marquis Mansion is?"
Today the officials were off for a break, and Xin You speculated that He Qingxiao was more likely to be at home.
Mr. He doesn't look very well-off, so he probably won't go to teahouses and restaurants to show off.
"Master, are you looking for Mr. He?"
"Well, I have something to do with him."
The young man was excited: "Although I have never been there, I can ask for directions! Don't worry, my boss, I will definitely invite Mr. He over!"
"Go ahead." Xin You said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Hu watched Liu Zhou dash away and wiped the new abacus with a straight face.
