Chapter 2048: One Life for Another
Tang Fanghua wanted to slap Luying a few times. This bitch only knew how to stir up trouble! She would deal with such a frivolous thing sooner or later...
But, definitely not now.
Now, no matter what the risk, she must save her, she must save her!
As if Qiao Xuan had teased her enough, she finally loosened her grip slowly: "You two have a deep relationship as master and servant. I am impressed by you!"
Tang Fanghua looked at Qiao Xuan suddenly.
Qiao Xuan smiled: "Miss Tang really wants to save her?"
"Yes... She, she has served me for so many years, I can't, I can't just watch her... Madam Shao, please have mercy!"
"I won't show mercy, but there is a way."
"I wonder what you would like to do, Madam Shao?"
"Simple!" Qiao Xuan smiled: "One life for another."
Tang Fanghua’s face turned even paler and he stood there with his eyes wide open.
One life for another? What does Mrs. Shao mean by this!
"It's not what you think," Qiao Xuan sneered, "Didn't you save Xiao Qi's life? That means our Shao family owes you a life. Use it to pay for this slave's life. I'll give you another 50,000 silver coins. From now on, you are not allowed to say a word to anyone that you saved our Xiao Qi. This matter is written off!"
Xiao Qi looked at Qiao Xuan suddenly, his heart warmed. It turned out that Fifth Sister-in-law had gone through so much trouble just for him.
The fifth sister-in-law had always been kind to him and to everyone in their family...
Shao Yunduan also showed some understanding, and a smile flashed across his eyes. He knew that his wife would not do this for no reason, it was really difficult for her.
Tang Fanghua looked at Xiaoqi, as if expecting Xiaoqi to say something.
But Xiao Qi still didn't look at her and just pretended not to see her.
Tang Fanghua was almost filled with grief, anger and despair.
She was his lifesaver! Without her, he might have died long ago! Such a favor is higher than the sky, can it be forgotten? Can this be offset?
Why didn't he say a word!
Why do you treat her like this?
Tang Fanghua's tears rolled down and she sobbed.
She was very sad, very sad...
Qiao Xuan was not moved by her at all, and said impatiently: "Ms. Tang, what will you choose? I don't think your relationship as master and servant is that deep!"
Tang Fanghua's eyelids jumped fiercely, "Okay, I promise! I will never mention the matter of saving my life again, but I don't want this money."
"No, you have to take the money. We in the Shao family cannot let you suffer any loss. Fifty thousand taels of silver, plus a life, is considered as repayment."
"I don't--"
"You have to."
Tang Fanghua stopped talking.
Qiao Xuan added, "I believe in keeping things in black and white. I think we should write everything down, with the whole process clearly written down. What this slave did, how Miss Tang saved her life in exchange for her love for her, and how the Shao family agreed to give Miss Tang another 50,000 silver coins, all should be written down."
"What!"
Tang Fanghua changed color.
She had a good idea at first. How could Xiao Qi's life be compared to the life of a maid named Lu Ying? The Shao family exchanged the life of a maid for Xiao Qi's life, even if they gave her another 50,000 silver coins, it was still bullying.
If people knew about this, they would only sympathize with her and criticize the Shao family. The Shao family had no way to deny her life-saving grace.
However, if everything was written down in black and white, there would be no room for maneuver.
Even better, see you tomorrow!
