Xie Rou and the others paid their respects to the old lady and then sat down.
After sitting down, she started to look for trouble. Xie Rou looked at the old lady and said, "Grandma, what kind of birthday gift did my elder brother and sister-in-law give you? Let us also see how experienced we are."
Su Tang was not the one to ask, but asked the old lady directly. The old lady frowned, and Mother Sun standing next to her said, "The Crown Princess hasn't sent it yet..."
Not sent yet
This must be sent.
Su Tang raised his eyebrows, then lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid it will take some time before I can give it to you, Madam."
Xie Rou looked at Su Tang, "Sister-in-law didn't prepare a birthday gift for grandma at all, right?"
Aren’t you tired of finding trouble with her as soon as you come back?
It's strange that Su Tang allowed Xie Rou to succeed, and said, "How could we not be prepared? Young Master Yun is getting married and wants to keep us in Heishui Villa for a few more days. We will rush back to Beijing to celebrate the old lady's birthday the next day.
I set off early in the morning, but I really couldn’t catch up, so I stopped and stopped until now.”
"Knowing that the old lady believed in Buddhism, she specially prepared a mutton-fat jade Buddha statue without any counter-offer. It cost a total of 6,800 taels. However, I didn't expect that I met an assassin on the road and the mutton-fat jade Buddha broke into pieces."
Su Tang was telling nonsense with her eyes open. Even if someone suspected that she was lying, there was no way to expose it. After all, Su Tang gave Xie Wei ten jade bracelets in one go.
Everyone outside has heard it.
The gift to Xie Wei is so heavy, can the birthday gift prepared for the old lady be shabby?
Su Tang said, "While having breakfast, I was still talking to my husband about the birthday gift. My husband asked me to wait for the palace to catch the assassin and pay 6,800 taels in compensation, and then build a new jade Buddha statue for you, old lady."
The old lady frowned, and Xie Rou said, "Do you have to wait until the assassin is caught before sending him away? What if he can't be caught? What if the master of the assassin has no money?"
Is it none of her business when she gives the old lady a gift? She has to get to the bottom of it like this.
A smile appeared on Su Tang's face, but the smile did not reach her eyes. "My husband and I are also the eldest son and concubine of the Jingnan Palace. We were both thrown off a cliff by assassins. My father is also looking for clues about the assassins everywhere. The eldest girl has no respect for her father."
Is the king so unsure of finding the assassin?"
"My husband and I left the capital to find Young Master Yun. My father only sent five secret guards to escort us. Assassins came more than ten or twenty in one go. How could it be that those who wanted to kill us were ordinary people, let alone just six thousand people?"
Eight hundred taels, even sixty-eight thousand taels is no problem!"
At the end of the sentence, Su Tang's voice became sharp in vain. Xie Rou sat there, her face turning red and white, and hit the muzzle of Su Tang's gun.
Something happened to her and Xie Boting. I had never seen anyone care about them so urgently. They were so anxious because they didn't send a birthday gift to the old lady in time. Why, if the old lady can't receive it today, will she die tomorrow?
The more I pressed her to give it away, the more she refused to give it away. She was so stubborn.
Not convinced?
Hold it in!
After Su Tang quarreled with Xie Rou, the topic was stopped and no one mentioned it again. After all, the birthday gift Su Tang prepared was not a small amount. There is no reason to break one and buy another one. That would be 13,600 taels.
No one would be willing to do it.
Xie Rou was sitting there, seeing no one to help her, and was furious. Why did she want to be such a standout? It was none of her business whether the sister-in-law gave the old lady a birthday gift or not. Could it be that the old lady would still be able to use those things after a hundred years?
Can't you leave it to her?!
She helped the old lady, but it was fine if the old lady didn't say anything, and Xie Wei didn't help either, so why? She still wanted to beg her sister-in-law to help the Mingde Hou Mansion get out of trouble?!
Su Tang served tea and came back after a long time away from Beijing. Unfortunately, he left before the chair was warm, but he really couldn't stay any longer. This chapter has been completed!
