"One hundred taels of silver?" Aunt Tao's lips trembled, her steps trembled, and she said angrily: "Isn't your He family robbing money? My daughter has only lived here for less than half a month, why did she spend a full seventy taels? Two silver coins?"
Butler He took out Tao Meiyu's accounts for the past few days with a sullen face, "Mrs. Tao, look carefully to see if it's seventy taels of silver."
Aunt Tao grabbed it and opened the account book with trembling hands. She saw that it contained daily bird's nests, daily shark's fins, etc. written on it.
She suddenly raised her head and looked at Tao Meiyu, "Did you really eat these bird's nest and fish bones?"
Tao Meiyu lowered her head with some guilt.
On the side, Butler He cleared his throat and replied: "It was indeed Miss Tao who ate it. Moreover, Miss Tao not only eats bird's nest every day, she also uses the best rouge gouache."
Aunt Tao took a closer look and saw that they were indeed high-quality rouge and gouache. Even the Zhou family's facial cream had been used up for seven or eight bottles, which was not a small amount.
In the end, the account book calculated that a total of seventy-eight taels were used. ?.?????.???
Butler He pointed at these words and said: "Our master, thinking of his friendship with Miss Tao, waived these eight taels of silver. You only need to give us a total of one hundred taels of silver."
Aunt Tao's feet suddenly became weak. She held the account book tightly and said, "Our daughter came to your house to be a concubine. How come there is no reason to pay back the money!"
Butler He said coldly: "It is true that there is no reason to pay back the money, but the premise is that Miss Tao is our master's concubine. Now isn't Miss Tao making trouble to leave the He Mansion? We naturally have to get the money back."
"You..." Aunt Tao's teeth chattered with anger, "You are going too far to deceive others."
Butler He smiled and said, "Mrs. Tao, we are just following the rules. If you don't want to pay back the money, just ask Miss Tao to go back with us."
This concubine-taking, giving the money to buy the concubine, naturally has nothing to do with the mother's family.
Regardless of whether Aunt Tao agrees or not, the He family has reasons to take Tao Meiyu back.
Tao Meiyu hid behind Aunt Tao and cried loudly, "Mom, you must ask my mother, I don't want to go back!"
Aunt Tao really felt a little soft-hearted when she saw her daughter's pitiful appearance.
Seeing their hesitation, Butler He raised his eyes and glanced into the room, asking the boys behind him to take action.
The boys did not catch Tao Meiyu, but caught Tao Laosan who was hiding in the room watching the show.
"What are you doing? Why are you arresting me?" Tao Laosan struggled.
The boys held him tightly, making him unable to move.
Tao Laosan was so frightened that he shouted, "If you want to arrest Tao Meiyu, you also want to arrest Tao Meiyu. Why arrest me?!"
The leading boy took the mallet and swung it hard at his kick.
Tao Laosan let out a loud cry of pain.
Butler He said slowly: "If Mr. Tao yells again, we will hit you in the mouth next."
After Tao Laosan heard this, he endured the pain and immediately closed his mouth, letting the boy drag him back.
Aunt Tao stalked after him, "What do you want to do? Why did you arrest my son? Don't you just want to pay back the money? Pay it back, let's pay it back, you let my son go first!"
Butler He said with a mocking smile: "I just said so much, but I didn't even hear you say that you wanted to pay back the money. Now I just hit your son with a mallet, and you were so scared that you agreed quickly. It seems that your son is more important than your daughter." many."
Aunt Tao lowered her head, feeling guilty and did not reply.
Tao Meiyu stared at Aunt Tao, her eyes suddenly filled with tears.
"Come here, please bring Mr. Tao back to the house." Butler He shouted to the boys.
Aunt Tao was shocked and wanted to stop him, but was stopped by the servants of the He family.
Butler He wiped his hands with a handkerchief and said seriously: "Mrs. Tao, our master said that we will give you three days. Within three days, either you will send your daughter back or return the money to us, otherwise you Just waiting to collect your son’s body!”
Aunt Tao paused and stood there as if she had lost her soul.
Butler He turned around and took everyone into the carriage to leave.
Tao Laosan, who was being held in the carriage, kept calling for his mother.
Aunt Tao chased after him while crying.
After the He family left, Tao Meiyu slowly stood up and said to Aunt Tao, "Mom, are you really going to trade me for third brother?"
Aunt Tao looked back at her
