Chapter 1266 Those IOUs

"Yes," Qiao Xuan didn't realize there was anything wrong with what she said, and smiled, "Your weaving workshop is so large, if I raise the price a little bit, you will lose a lot, right? I'm selling at the market price, are you still not satisfied? Of course, you can buy it from other places, but it's hard to say whether you can buy so much from other places! If you grab it, the price of silk will probably go up, and then you will have to spend more money, which is not worth it!"

Zhao Mu: “.”

Zhao Mu was speechless and had to admit that what Qiao Xuan said made sense.

But he was unwilling to give up!

“Those IOUs.”

"There are ten in total, right? These IOUs are mine now. I will exchange the market price of the silk with half of the IOUs for Madam Zheng's divorce papers. Do you think it's appropriate, Mr. Zhao?"

If there was one thing that Zhao Mu regretted the most, it was definitely that he should not have refused his father-in-law's words and signed the IOU. He never expected that Zheng actually collected all of these IOUs and handed them over to Zhao Shu.

That unfilial son Zhao Shu actually gave his child to an outsider to deal with his own father!

He called him unfilial and he was right in every word he said!

There were ten of them, he remembered them clearly, and each one had seven hundred thousand taels of silver written on it.

Adding up, that’s seven million taels!

If Madam Shao held on to this bunch of IOUs and forced him to pay back the debt, the Zhao family would collapse immediately. He had to get all the IOUs back no matter what.

Otherwise, Mrs. Shao and that rebellious son might cause trouble at any time.

This is something he absolutely cannot accept.

Zhao Mu opened his mouth to speak——

Qiao Xuan interrupted him: "Master Zhao, I like to do things quickly and easily, and I don't like to bargain! I have been very sincere in my words. If Master Zhao is not satisfied, if I ask for more, it may not be this price."

Zhao Mu swallowed the words he was about to say.

Although it was their first meeting, after a confrontation, Zhao Mu naturally felt a bit of the temperament of the young lady in front of him.

If she said so, she would most likely really do so.

Most importantly, he didn't dare to gamble.

The IOU was for seven million taels, and she only needed to pay back three and a half million taels in exchange for a divorce certificate. This deal was indeed a good deal, and Mrs. Shao was really sincere.

However, Zhao Mu had never really acknowledged the debt of seven million taels. To him, it was simply a debt that came out of thin air. Even if he was asked to pay ten thousand taels, he would feel at a loss and aggrieved!

This money shouldn't have been spent in the first place!

Why?

I don't have to pay. Is that okay?

Zhao Mu was torn between his conscience and his desires, Qiao Xuan was drinking her tea calmly, and Butler Zhao was standing there in a daze, dumbfounded.

"Okay, I'll give you the silver, three and a half million taels, as well as the divorce agreement and the IOU."

"Mr. Zhao is really straightforward! No wonder he has accumulated such a huge fortune! In this case, I will give Mr. Zhao two days to prepare. After two days, the payment will be made."

Zhao Mu cursed inwardly, but he forced a smile and said, "Okay. But I can't come up with that much silver all at once. Can I use something else as collateral?"

Qiao Xuan nodded: "Sure! As long as the value is equal."

"That's natural."

Qiao Xuan stood up and said with a smile, "In that case, Master Zhao, please prepare to leave. I will not waste any more of Master Zhao's time. Goodbye."

Zhao Mu almost gritted his teeth: "Mrs. Shao, please!"
