Wang Ruoyun: "......"
Chu Jinjin donated 100,000 yuan. If she donated less than that amount, it would be considered a loss, but she really couldn't afford it.
Wang Ruoyun's face flushed red, then turned pale, then flushed again.
Chu Jinjin said considerately, "Don't force yourself, little sister. Fifty thousand is fine too. After all, you will have to support the Xu family in the future. Unlike me, you don't have so much money that you can't spend it all."
Wang Ruoyun: "......."
The noble ladies could hardly contain themselves any longer.
Everyone knows the Xu family's financial situation; they're so poor they only have a useless title left, and Wang Ruoyun is asking for subsidies.
Li Xinzhi picked up her teacup and took a sip slowly: "After tonight, Miss Jinjin's reputation will surely spread throughout the capital, and the disaster victims in the north will definitely remember this kindness."
One hundred thousand taels of silver, based on the number of disaster victims, would be almost one tael per family, enough to keep them from starving for a period of time.
Of course, what she really meant by those words was to Wang Ruoyun: if you don't want to be used as a control group, you'd better donate more.
Wang Ruoyun understood perfectly well. She stared intently at Chu Jinjin, gritted her teeth, and whispered, "I'll donate 60,000."
Sixty thousand was the limit she could afford.
Princess Le'an's eyebrows practically flew up with joy as she solemnly bowed to the two of them: "On behalf of the Emperor, I thank you both for your generosity."
After saying that, she took out two silver notes: "I am donating 20,000."
As the initiator and the one with the highest status, it's not surprising that she donated this amount, but Li Xinzhi, who followed her, also donated 20,000 yuan.
The crowd was in an uproar; the starting point was too high.
The most difficult situation was that of the Duchess, who was so troubled that she almost cried. She had sounded out the princess beforehand, so she planned to donate five thousand taels today.
However, the current situation is that with 100,000, 60,000, 20,000, her 5,000 taels is simply not enough to show for it.
