Chapter 9: Not enough for the city, but more for the ruin
"The key is indeed with me. I've never left it. Let's go to the warehouse and take a look."
Zhou Xianglan: "Look, look, look, what are you looking at? The warehouse is empty. How do you manage the family?
Not to mention the warehouse, even all the good things in the other concubines' rooms and the kitchen were taken away.
We can't even have dinner today. We are really more trouble than help." The old woman took out all her anger on Zhou Yunjin.
Considering how many good things she had collected before, and now they were all gone, it would be strange if she wasn't angry.
She no longer has the temperament of an old lady from the Shangshu Mansion, she is just like a street thug.
The Shangshu Mansion was in chaos, but our client, Miss Nangong Xue, was enjoying herself in the space, watching those people outside getting anxious and jumpy.
After eating, she had to go and add fuel to the fire for them. Although the things were all in her space, she couldn't go back on her word.
Yes, yes.
If you don't hand over her mother's things, she will burn down the Shangshu Mansion. If you really can't hand over the things, you can use silver as compensation. Anyway, it can be negotiated.
Nangong Xue came to the living room of the main courtyard and sat down in the main seat without caring about anything. "Qin Beimu, where is my mother's dowry? Why hasn't it been sent to me yet?
Do you have amnesia, or are you turning a deaf ear to what I say? If you're not afraid of your Shangshu Mansion becoming a ruin, you can give it a try.
I guarantee you'll be famous throughout Beijing tomorrow. Our dignified Shangshu will have to sleep under a bridge, wander the streets, and maybe even go to court in nothing but his underpants."
"I'm afraid even storytellers wouldn't dare write that! Since you want to be famous, I, as your daughter, will definitely fulfill your wish."
"Rebellious girl, how dare you."
"Rebellious daughter, rebellious daughter, besides this, you can't say anything about others? How can a coward like you share the emperor's worries?
No wonder our Longyuan Nation is bullied, it's because of good-for-nothings like you who take salaries but do nothing."
"You...you, you are so bold! You dare to discuss state affairs? You must be tired of living."
"Humph! It doesn't matter whether I live or die, and you don't need to worry about it. As long as you can die, I will be happy.
Stop talking nonsense to me and give me my mother's dowry right away. If you really don't have it anymore, give me some money to make up for it.
Otherwise, I will go to Jingzhao Yin tomorrow to complain that you actually embezzled your ex-wife's dowry. I don't know what your colleagues will think of you when they find out."
"No, I don't have it even if you want it. What can you do to me?"
"Okay, no, right? Then I won't waste my time talking to you. What will happen next? You can't blame me then."
Nangong Xue went to the woodshed without saying a word. Seeing her action, others followed suit. Everyone saw Nangong Xue taking out a fire starter and preparing to light the fire.
This action made Qin Beimu very angry. This rebellious girl was really dared. She was so weak before and didn't say a word when being bullied. Why did she suddenly become like a different person today?
"Stop, stop it now! Someone, stop the young lady! Don't let her really light the fire."
As a result, the servant wanted to rush forward, but Nangong Xue picked up a stick on the ground and knocked him to the ground with a few blows.
Qin Beimu was dumbfounded when he saw all this. "Ni Nu, you actually know Kung Fu, why didn't you tell me?"
"Hmph! Not very good, but more than enough to deal with those good-for-nothings under your command. Have you ever cared about me? Do you understand me? Why should I tell you?
Do you think of me as your daughter? Where were you when Zhou Yunjin bullied me?
When Qin Yuyan and the others bullied him, where were you, as his father? "
"This...this, isn't this just a joke between you sisters? How can a father interfere?
Oh, in that case, I'll have some fun with them later. Since you don't want to interfere, then don't do it, or I'll chop off your claws.
Stop talking nonsense and give me my mother's dowry. How many times do you want me to repeat it? My patience is limited."
Qin Beimu hesitated and said, "Those things may be difficult to clean out for a while because they are so old. How about I, your father, convert them into silver for you?"
No problem, I'm an easy person to talk to. I have the dowry list here, don't try to fool me.
If I find that one copper coin is missing, I will have to give an extra 100 taels of gold.
How about this? Let's sign the agreement, and when will you pay me?
"I don't quite trust you. You have to give me a deadline. If you don't give it, then I will have to wait forever."
"How about two days later? In two days, I will give you all the money."
"Yes, as long as you write down the document and stamp it with your seal, everything will be fine.
Also, don’t address me as “father” when you talk to me from now on. It really irritates me.”
Qin Beimu thought, he should fool this damn girl first. He didn't believe how she could keep all the silver and money by herself.
It won’t be his by then. Damn it, girl, you dare to go against him. You must be tired of living.
It's like a tiger that doesn't show its power. It's like his old father is dead.
The little girl is still a little naive if she wants to fight with me.
Nangong Xue continued to practice hard in the space, because the original owner's body was too useless.
If she doesn't use the spiritual spring water to change her physical condition quickly, her personal safety will be threatened.
Aotian served as a sparring partner in the space, but he was really ruthless in his attacks.
Nangong Xue's body was covered with small wounds, and her clothes had been torn into strips.
His hair was messy and he looked particularly miserable at this moment.
In her previous life, Nangong Xue was a killer agent with a spirit of never giving up.
She must practice the skills she had in her previous life. Since she has hot weapons, she doesn't believe she can't survive in this ancient time.
At worst, we can just change our appearance.
Nangong Xue practiced hard for several hours and finally made great progress. With the help of the spiritual spring water, she has regained 70% of her skills from her previous life.
Now, let alone ordinary killers and Qin Beimu, even if all the people in the mansion were mobilized, they would not be her match.
Nangong Xue was so tired that she was sweating profusely and her hair was all wet. She quickly went to take a shower.
I went to the bathroom, prepared the bath water, added spiritual spring water, and lay in the bathtub, enjoying myself.
With the spiritual spring water, her previous fatigue was swept away and her body was full of strength.
It is no longer the limp and weak feeling it had just had.
Zhou Yunjin, Qin Beimu, and everyone else in the mansion, are you all ready?
Master bedroom in the main courtyard.
Zhou Yunjin began to act coquettishly, "Master, are you really going to give everything to the eldest lady?
The eldest daughter is still so young, and she is carrying so many things. What if she gets cheated?
Although I am not her biological mother, I am still her stepmother and I will not harm her.
The young lady doesn't know what evil has befallen her?"
