Chapter 66: People Can’t Have It All
Xie Yingmian tapped Yu Lingye's back three times with her fingers.
Three thousand taels shouldn't be too much.
"You're the one who brought it up. If I bring it up, they'll lash out at me." She whispered. "After we get the money, how about we split it 50-50?"
Yu Lingye agreed.
He said to Madam Fang, "I will be frank. If you want the princess's help, you need a thank you gift of 60,000 taels."
Mrs. Fang almost jumped up.
Sixty thousand taels!
What is the concept of sixty thousand taels?
The entire Fang family has less than 60,000 taels on account.
Yu Lingye's words were equivalent to taking away all the money in the Fang family's account.
Xie Yingmian was also shocked.
Her original intention was three thousand taels.
Yu Lingye directly asked for 60,000.
Not three thousand, not thirty thousand, but sixty thousand!
As expected, poverty limited her imagination, and the rich people were so generous when extorting money from others.
Sixty thousand taels, after fifty-fifty division, there are still thirty thousand taels left.
Thirty thousand taels, this suffering is worth it.
"Ye'er," Madam Fang said, "Sixty thousand taels of silver is really too much."
"Thank you... Princess Ling was only slightly injured and caught a cold. Even if we examine her, she's only in a bit of pain. Why would she need sixty thousand taels?"
"Look, let's send some high-quality tonics and some gifts, and this matter will be over, okay?"
Yu Lingye glanced at Madam Fang and said, "If you don't want to, then forget it."
Xie Yingmian echoed, "It's a mutual consent, fair and just."
"If you agree, please have the Empress Dowager and His Royal Highness Prince Ling act as witnesses. Both parties should write a written agreement in triplicate and sign it to avoid denial."
"If you don't agree, we won't force you."
Yu Lingye said, "I would like to add one more thing."
"The stolen goods that my aunt and Nanny Jiang stole together need to be handed over to the Six Punishments Department. After the Six Punishments Department investigates thoroughly, the goods will be returned to their original owners. They have nothing to do with the 60,000 taels."
"I am tired."
Xie Yingmian pushed Yu Lingye and left: "What a coincidence, I'm tired and hungry too."
"How's that stew I made? Did you turn down the heat?"
Yu Lingye frowned.
Something was indeed simmering in the small kitchen.
According to Fu Mo, that thing was stewed before making the chiffon cake.
It was black and I didn't know what was in it. It smelled bad.
At first, the bad smell was masked by the aroma of the chiffon cake and was not very obvious.
Later, the whole yard was filled with the stench of feces.
Regarding the incident of Xie Yingmian stewing shit in the small kitchen, he thought it would be better not to tell it in public.
"Turn it down," he said.
Xie Yingmian: "Great! That thing is hard to make. I started making it early in the morning. It would be a waste if it dried up."
"I'll make you something delicious tonight."
Yu Lingye strongly refused: "That's not necessary."
Xie Yingmian: "It smells bad, but tastes delicious. I'm not lying to you."
The two of them acted as if no one was around and chatted as they walked.
Mrs. Fang was dumbfounded.
The stolen goods were worth more than 10,000 taels.
Plus the 60,000 taels given to Xie Yingmian.
More than 70,000 taels were spent at once.
Judging from Yu Lingye's attitude, she had to take the more than 70,000 taels whether she wanted to or not.
Seeing Yu Lingye was about to walk out the door.
Mrs. Fang hurried to ask the Concubine for help.
"Little sister, you know the Fang family's situation. The total amount is 70,000 taels of silver. This is not a small amount. Taking out 70,000 taels at once is like asking for our lives."
"Can you please plead for us..."
The toffee also felt a bit much.
Although Yilin was wrong in today's incident, the amount of silver was too outrageous.
Three to five thousand taels is enough to buy tonic medicine.
Just when the concubine wanted to speak to mediate.
Yu Lingye's voice came coldly: "Aunt, why do you have to embarrass Mother?"
"The Palace Master of Jueming Palace was able to easily sneak into Prince Ling's Mansion thanks to my aunt."
"If the Palace Master of Jueming Palace had gone on a killing spree in Prince Ling's Mansion over the past six months, let alone tens of thousands of taels of silver, even if the Fang family were wiped out, it would be difficult to alleviate the hatred in my heart."
"The same thing happened today."
"Fang Yilin slandered my princess and put her in danger, causing her life to hang by a thread."
"You two nearly made a terrible mistake, and you should pay the price."
"If you treat it lightly and send it away casually, this king will never allow it."
"Mother." Yu Lingye looked at the Dowager Consort. "I have already made sufficient concessions to my aunt and Fang Yilin. Please don't make things difficult for me."
All of Toffee's words were stuck in his throat.
Her Ye'er has always been taciturn and serious.
He said so many words at once, I think he was really angry.
Fu Mo added at the right moment: "Mrs. Dowager Concubine."
"The mistake made by Madam Fang and Miss Fang this time is not a minor one; it concerns the life and death of the entire palace."
"Think about it, if the Palace Master of Jueming Palace can disguise herself as Nanny Jiang, she can also disguise herself as anyone else."
"To put it bluntly, it's not impossible for Nanny Jiang to disguise herself as you, the Concubine Dowager."
"Once Prince Ling's Mansion falls into the hands of Jueming Palace, Jueming Palace will use the power of Prince Ling's Mansion to burn, kill, plunder, and oppress the people, which may cause great suffering to the people."
"Every single one of these is no small matter."
After Fu Mo finished speaking, he said to Madam Fang and Fang Yilin, "Madam Fang, the prince has said that stolen money is stolen money, and you can't mix it up."
"Your stolen money was originally swindled from the Concubine Dowager. It's not appropriate for you to say that it belongs to the Fang family, right?"
"And the princess's sixty thousand taels."
"These sixty thousand taels include a lot more. Miss Fang slandered the princess, Miss Fang ordered someone to injure the princess, Miss Fang pushed the princess into the water, Madam Fang and Miss Fang jointly attacked the princess, insulted the princess, and the princess had to endure severe pain and even risk her life to testify for Miss Fang, and so on."
"Sixty thousand taels, all added up, is not much."
"If you don't show some sincerity, you are being disrespectful to the princess and Prince Ling's Mansion."
"However, the princess also said that this was a consensual matter."
"If you think the money is too much and you don't want to pay, then don't bother the princess. Just handle the matter directly."
"You can't have it all, right?"
Fu Mo finished his output and felt relieved.
He felt that he should change his style of doing things in the future.
It’s pretty cool to imitate the prince.
But the prince is cold.
Not only is he cold, but he's also taciturn.
He imitated the prince and remained taciturn and aloof at all times.
God knows how uncomfortable he feels every time he hears those remarks.
After listening to the princess's bloody complaints against everything and everyone, he finally felt that it was right.
He will do the same in the future!
Fu Mo went to chase Xie Yingmian and Yu Lingye with satisfaction.
inside the house.
The toffee's face was pale.
After Fu Mo's words, she realized how wrong she was.
yes.
Why didn't she think of it?
Since Diao Yu can disguise herself as Nanny Jiang, she can naturally disguise herself as her.
If Diao Yu hadn't been discovered, she might have been replaced tomorrow.
The culprit behind all this is her elder sister-in-law whom she has always respected.
My sister-in-law almost caused a disaster, but she had no remorse and only thought about how to shirk responsibility.
Ye'er is right. If you handle it with care, your sister-in-law will learn a lesson.
After the concubine figured it out, her face turned cold: "Sister-in-law, don't beg me anymore."
"This matter is beyond my control."
