"How dare you make sophistry! It's all the fault of you, a wicked girl! What happened today, don't blame my father for not helping you. It was you who boasted in front of the Imperial Master that Haikou would pay double compensation, then...
You can only figure it out on your own, no one in the Ling family can help you!"
Ling Xiao roared angrily.
The ten boxes of treasures that were obtained were just gone, and no one could easily let go of them.
Ling Xiao also wanted to use these ten boxes of treasures to make up for the loss of Ling Xuewei's three yin meridians.
No one believed that Ling Xuewei could get double the compensation, that is, twenty boxes of treasures.
The current situation is that even if the entire Ling family is emptied, there will not be that many treasures.
"That's right! Third sister is so loud! Brother really admires me! Father doesn't need to blame himself. She proposed the compensation herself. I think Third sister already has a solution, so let's not get involved too much!"
The person who spoke was Ling Yanfeng, the brother of the fourth sister Ling Xuesi.
He said something sinister and sarcastic, but he couldn't hide the sarcasm in his eyes.
"Brother, don't say that. Third sister was also desperate and took this step. Otherwise, once the Imperial Master really breaks off the engagement and this matter spreads out, what will the people of Xuanyuan Kingdom say about third sister?" Ling Xuesi pretended to be anxious, but
But in my heart I couldn't help but rejoice in my misfortune.
All the aunts, cousins and cousins tried to persuade me, but they couldn't hide the ridicule in their eyes.
In the past, when Ling Xuewei was at her best, everyone in the house was fawning over her. But now that she is no longer in her glory, everyone is eager to step on her.
This is human nature.
Ling Xuewei couldn't say she was angry or disappointed.
After all, she is just a ghost from another world and has no feelings for these so-called relatives. She just has another understanding of the coldness and callousness of this world.
Bai Ze in the space sensed this emotion.
Seeing his master's expressionless face, a strange emotion suddenly welled up in his chest.
"Okay, let's put this matter aside for now! Wei'er, I won't blame you much because you were frightened a few days ago. But you have to remember what you said and don't hurt your brothers and sisters!"
Ling Xiao said it righteously, but in fact she could only sum it up in one sentence: She would not pay any compensation to the Ling family, and she would have to find a way to compensate herself.
Ling Xuewei sneered in her heart, but her face remained calm, "My daughter knows, and my father can rest assured."
After hearing this, Ling Xiao's complexion improved slightly.
He took the tea from the aunt next to him, poked it gently, and asked casually, "By the way, I heard that you bought Xuanyuan Bookstore a few days ago? Is this the case?"
Here comes the topic.
The originally noisy main hall suddenly became quiet. They all looked at Ling Xuewei with expressions of watching a good show.
They've been wanting to gossip about this for a long time.
Helplessly, after Ling Xuewei bought Xuanyuan Bookstore, she disappeared for two days and then stayed in her room for three days.
They wanted to gossip but couldn't find the real owner, but the family leader Ling Xiao never mentioned this matter.
Everyone was not sure what Ling Xiao meant, and they couldn't rush to trouble Ling Xuewei.
That's why Ling Xuewei had three days of peace after returning to Ling Mansion.
Everyone thought that Ling Xiao would forget about this incident, but now that the show finally started, everyone was very excited.
Ling Xuewei's expression remained unchanged, "Yes, my daughter can't practice cultivation now, so it would be good to read more books. I went to Xuanyuan Bookstore a few days ago and found that the location was good and there were many kinds of books, so I bought some and planned to spend my free time on weekdays.
Do some business from time to time."
Ling Xuewei spoke out the words she had planned from the beginning.
"Well, it's good that you have such a heart. But, where did you get the money to buy the bookstore? I heard that you spent a full fifty thousand taels to buy the bookstore that day, but is it true?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows.
, making people unable to see the joy and anger.
After saying this, several aunts and a group of brothers and sisters all looked at Ling Xuewei.
Fifty thousand taels?!
Finally getting to the point!
Where did this bitch get so much silver?! She couldn't have stolen it, could she?
This is a doubt that has always existed in everyone's mind.
Everyone in the main hall looked at Ling Xuewei with even more fierce eyes.
"Master, I think there is something fishy about this! Logically speaking, the third girl cannot afford so much money. Did you ask the housekeeper to allocate it to the third girl?" The second aunt asked tentatively.
Ling Xiao's expression immediately changed, "How is that possible? This amount of money is enough for the Ling family's expenses for the next year. How could you just give it to her casually?"
The third aunt said sarcastically, "Sister, you are really confused. How could the master give such a large sum of money to the third girl? But in the past, you were in charge of all matters in the house. With such a large sum of money, if
If the third girl really took it, how could my sister not know about it?"
A gloomy look flashed in the eyes of the second aunt, "Sister, you also know that I am the housekeeper of this palace. I am talking to the master, how can you interrupt?"
The third aunt choked, feeling very angry in her heart, but she looked at Ling Xiao with a particularly aggrieved look on her face, "Master, I really didn't mean to contradict my sister on purpose, I just wanted to share my worries for you..."
Ling Xiao was a little confused, "Okay, stop talking! You don't think there are enough troubles in the house, right?!"
As soon as he spoke, the two aunts covered their mouths and did not dare to say any more.
"Butler, tell me, has any money been lost in the house recently?" Ling Xiao looked at the butler coldly.
As soon as these words came out, Ling Xuewei's eyes turned cold, and the sneer at the corner of her mouth deepened.
"Sir, no money has been lost in the house recently," the housekeeper said respectfully.
"Every room too?"
"Yes."
"That's strange. Weier, where did you get such a large sum of money?" Ling Xiao looked down coldly.
For a moment, the atmosphere around him became tense again.
Ling Xuewei's fifty thousand taels of silver became a mystery.
No one lost money.
Fifty thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. There is no way that such a large sum of money could be lost and not be discovered.
But it was absolutely impossible for Ling Xuewei to come up with such a large amount of money.
"Yes, Third Sister, you'd better tell the truth. Even if you really did something wrong, your father will forgive you." Ling Xuesi pretended to be a good person.
"Speak quickly! Don't let us find out, otherwise you will get some good results!"
Some people are good-faithful, and others are bad-faithful. In order to find out the source of Ling Xuewei's fifty thousand taels of silver, they resorted to all means.
"That's right! The monthly money in the house is all calculated, there's no way you can fake it!"
"Your mother's dowry has been squandered by you a long time ago. Don't try to deceive us!"
"Say it!"
…
The surroundings were buzzing and chaotic.
If everyone hadn't been so concerned about their identity, they would have probably rushed to Ling Xuewei, pinched her neck and questioned her.
Fifty thousand taels of silver!
On weekdays, if they want to spend a hundred taels, they have to worry about it for a long time.
Why did Ling Xuewei spend 50,000 yuan?
After the people in the Ling Mansion heard that Ling Xuewei was worth 50,000 taels of silver, their eyes were red with jealousy.
Everyone stared at Ling Xuewei with almost cannibalistic eyes.
It seemed that if Ling Xuewei didn't give a reasonable explanation, they would eat her alive.
Ling Xuewei glanced coldly at the people in the hall.
After a while, she finally spoke.
"I am spending my own money, do I need to explain to you?"
As soon as these domineering words came out, everyone was so angry that they wanted to vomit blood.
"What did you say……"
"so rude!"
"You are from the Ling family, so of course the money also belongs to the Ling family! Don't even think about denying it..."
…
Looking at their "righteous and awe-inspiring" faces, Ling Xuewei laughed angrily.
These people are so shamelessly thick-skinned.
The reason why they have been angry for a long time is that they have no share in the money from unknown sources?
If Ling Xuewei were more "generous", she would give enough benefits to each room.
I guarantee that these people will then praise Ling Xuewei for being sensible and knowing how to behave.
"What are you arguing about? Shut up!" Ling Xiao roared, and the hall suddenly became quiet.
Everyone knows that Ling Xiao is in a bad mood right now.
It's not easy to find Ling Xiao at this time, unless he doesn't want to hang out in Ling Mansion anymore.
"Your own money?" Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and looked at Ling Xuewei.
"good!"
Ling Xuewei looked into Ling Xiao's eyes without fear and said calmly.
"Where did you get so much money?" Ling Xiao asked inquiringly.
"I borrowed it from a friend." Ling Xuewei said nonchalantly, "I wanted to start a business of my own, and the owner of Xuanyuan Bookstore happened to be very happy and willing to give Xuanyuan Bookstore to me, so I borrowed the money to buy Xuanyuan Bookstore.
"
As soon as everyone heard the word "borrow", there was no sound at all.
Everyone looked at Ling Xuewei as if they were an idiot.
What does it mean that the owner of Xuanyuan Bookstore is so willing to give Xuanyuan Bookstore to her?
The owner of Xuanyuan Bookstore clearly took Ling Xuewei as his scapegoat. He couldn't get rid of this loss-making business now, but Ling Xuewei, a fool, actually took it all over.
Fortunately, she was still complacent, feeling that she had gotten a bargain.
