Chapter 191 All in Silver

Xu's mother was stunned when she heard what she said.

She never thought that she would first think of her husband and eldest son at the border.

If other women suddenly had such a large fortune, the first thing they would think of would be to buy themselves countless beautiful clothes and jewelry, or to buy some manors and fields. Those with good family conditions might not even consider using this wealth for the family, let alone other things.

But Mu Hua first thought of her husband and eldest son who were guarding the border. This kind of heart is really rare!

Mother Xu couldn't say she wasn't moved. Her throat seemed to be blocked by something. "Mu Hua..."

She slowed down her voice before returning to normal. "These things are all earned by your own ability. Why do you want to give them to your father and your elder brother? You don't have to worry about them. The mansion will send money to them regularly."

Although it's not much, it's better than nothing.

The Chengguo Mansion seems to be a wealthy family, but the men in the Xu family have been generals for generations. They are good at marching and fighting, but it's difficult for them to run the family business. And not every generation of mistresses are good at business. It's good enough to guarantee the normal expenses of the mansion and stabilize the status of the Chengguo Mansion in the capital.

There is really not much spare money for them to do anything at the border.

It is undoubtedly difficult for them to improve the lives of the people at the border by their own efforts. But they knew it was difficult but still did it firmly, to the best of their ability. How could she not support it? It was just that they often had the will but not the ability.

But if Mu Hua really wanted to send such a huge sum of money to the border, then...

On the one hand, Xu's mother felt that it was inappropriate, and on the other hand, she was somewhat uncontrollably tempted, which was extremely contradictory!

"Mother, I know what you want to say, but it doesn't matter. Father and elder brother are also for Dayong and for the people on the border. Since I am father's daughter and elder brother's sister, of course I have to stand on the same side with them."

"Besides, these things are not one or two, but three or five. Although they are in my hands now, they are not safe after all. But if all these things are exchanged for silver and sent to the border, even if Li Gang finds out in the end, and even has evidence to prove that I took them, he will not be able to get them back."

More importantly, if one day it is discovered and the news leaks out and reaches the palace, then the emperor will not be able to hold her accountable, right?

Besides, sending them to the border and spending the silver on the people is of course in the name of the emperor. Dad and elder brother are just executors. The good reputation has fallen into the hands of the emperor and the court. How can the emperor and the court have the nerve to pursue it?

Although, she must be... reluctant to part with it! After all, who doesn't love gold, silver and jewelry!

But reason prevailed in the end. As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no worries about lack of firewood to burn. In the future, she will make more money with her own ability! In this way, she can spend it with peace of mind and without any pressure!

Xu's mother understood this truth as soon as she thought about it.

"It's just that this is unfair to you."

"Mom, we are all family, what's wrong with that? Besides..."

She lowered her voice and whispered, "I will definitely save some, and I will also save some for mom, grandma, Jinyu and Anan. It's not like I will really change everything into silver. So I still make money!"

Xu's mother couldn't help but burst out laughing, stretched out her index finger and lightly tapped her forehead, saying, "Mom doesn't know how you did it, you can handle it yourself! If you need any help, you can go find the butler. The butler was promoted by your father, and your father saved his whole family. He won't betray your father and the Chengguo Mansion, you can believe it."

With her words, Xu Muhua felt relieved.

It was late today, and it was not suitable to work anymore. Xu Muhua did not go out again. She planned to bring some people and pretend to be a hauler in two days. She would openly use a cart to transport the treasures that had been secretly moved out to a safe place through the streets.

However, exchanging these things for silver would be a problem, but she soon found a solution.

When Feng Shaoqing heard the servant report that his good friend came to visit, he was stunned for a moment.

A good friend came to visit? There were only a few people who could be called his good friends. One of them was not in the capital. When were the other two so polite? When did they come to his house and walk directly to his yard as if it were their own home? Why were they so polite this time?

He walked out suspiciously, and when he looked at the front hall, the corner of his mouth twitched.

What good friend? A good friend's sister!

"Sister Mu Hua, what are you doing..."

Shaoqing Feng felt a headache when he saw her dressed like this.

Why did she come out dressed as a man again? Did her aunt know about this?

Xu Muhua chuckled, "Brother Feng should also know that I have had troubles these days. I am afraid that others will stare at me, so I dressed up."

When mentioning this, Feng Shaoqing's face became serious, and he asked with concern: "Why are you entangled with the Li family?"

Xu Muhua sighed deeply, told the story, and finally spread his hands: "Brother Feng, just tell me if I am wronged? Lord Li is too narrow-minded. How can he have the nerve to settle with a junior like me? If he has the ability, why doesn't he go to the border to settle accounts with my father? He just bullies a girl like me, and he is not ashamed!"

Feng Shaoqing was half-believing and half-doubting her words, but he didn't get to the bottom of it. Their relationship was not at this point.

"If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."

Xu Muhua smiled and replied, "Okay!"

"So why are you here today..."

Shaoqing Feng had already dismissed the servants, and Xu Muhua was not worried about being overheard, but he still lowered his voice and said, "I have a batch of valuable items in my hands, and I want to exchange them for silver. I wonder if Brother Feng has a reliable way."

Shaoqing Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "What items?"

Xu Muhua counted on his fingers, "Well, there are famous paintings and calligraphy, porcelain, jade and jewelry, and some famous medicinal materials. In short, some very valuable things. The quantity is also large, and I want to exchange them all for silver, so I want to ask Brother Feng for help."

"By the way, I also brought a painting. Take a look first."

Xu Muhua wanted to find someone to do something, so of course she had to let him take a look first, otherwise how could she gain the trust of others?

Feng Shaoqing, who was about to ask something, swallowed his words and took the scroll she handed over, slowly opened it, and his eyes suddenly widened after seeing it clearly.

If he was not mistaken, this painting was one of the masterpieces of the most famous painter in the previous dynasty!

How, how could it be in Muhua's sister's hands?
