Chapter 136: You scold me? You are finished
"Ten thousand taels of silver." Xie Yingmian said, "If I lose, I'll give you ten thousand taels."
"If you lose, you give me ten thousand taels."
"The content of the bet is very simple. If Prince Ling doesn't divorce me within six months, you lose and I win."
"Similarly, if Prince Ling divorces me within six months, I lose and you win."
"You just vowed that Prince Ling would divorce me soon. I'm showing my sincerity by giving you six months."
Tao Caiyue didn't expect it to unfold like this.
What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver?
Ten thousand taels of silver was almost their family's expenses for three months.
She had saved for so many years, and together with the dowry her mother had saved for her, the total was only a little over 20,000 yuan.
She'd be crazy to make such a bet.
Xie Yingmian said in a deep voice, "You dare not gamble, but you dare to slander me. Then please be prepared to pay the price."
When Tao Caiyue heard Xie Yingmian's voice, she felt a sudden fear in her heart.
Her sixth sense was always right.
She had a strong feeling that if she didn't respond, she would definitely regret it.
"Ten thousand taels of silver is too much. I, I can't afford that much money." Tao Caiyue hesitated, "If it's less, I'll bet with you."
Xie Yingmian was very understanding: "Yes, ten thousand taels is indeed a bit much."
"Then, how about five thousand taels?"
"Judging from the way you're dressed, you shouldn't be unable to come up with even five thousand taels of silver."
Tao Caiyue thought that five thousand taels was a lot.
The words came to her lips, but she couldn't say them.
"Five thousand taels is five thousand taels." Tao Caiyue said.
Xie Yingmian took out a pen and paper and wrote down the agreement.
After the two signed their names to each other, Xie Yingmian asked Xie Baoyu to be a witness.
Xie Baoyu was completely confused.
Lin Qingqing and her friends are well-known troublemakers in the circle of noble ladies.
She deliberately brought up the topic with the intention of letting Lin Qingqing and the others use their sharp tongues to attack Xie Yingmian.
However, the development of the matter was completely unexpected.
Xie Yingmian scolded the troublemaker Lin Qingqing away and even made a bet with Tao Caiyue?
Just make a bet, why should she be a witness?
A witness is not in vain,
If one party breaches the contract, she has to pay compensation on behalf of the breaching party.
Although not all compensation is paid, about 20% is paid.
Two percent is one thousand taels.
If Xie Yingmian breaks the contract and refuses to pay Tao Caiyue after losing the bet, she will have to pay Xie Yingmian one thousand taels of silver.
Why!
She doesn't want to be taken advantage of.
"I refuse." Xie Baoyu said.
Xie Yingmian asked, "Sister, do you not trust me, or do you not trust Miss Tao?"
Wen Juexia taunted: "I guess she can't come up with a thousand taels of silver, and she's afraid that one of you will break the contract."
Xie Yingmian was surprised: "No way?"
"Sister is the daughter of the Xie family. How could she not even come up with a thousand taels of silver? Besides, a thousand taels is only required in the event of a breach of contract."
"Neither Ms. Tao nor I seem like the type to break a contract. Your worries are totally unnecessary."
"I don't know how things are going with Miss Tao." Xie Yingmian continued her tea-talking.
"Anyway, if I lose, I will definitely not break the contract. It's only five thousand taels of silver. My dowry is generous, so it's easy for me to pay five thousand taels."
"If you're worried, I'll go back and count the dowry. I'll find five thousand taels of silver and seal it up until the bet is over."
Xie Baoyu had originally made up his mind not to be taken advantage of.
However, Xie Yingmian mentioned "dowry".
Xie Yingmian's dowry was personally selected by her mother.
Most of the dowries were clothes they didn’t want anymore, outdated jewelry, and even the bedding they had discarded.
The dowry list was written very beautifully, with a lot of words written on it.
Outsiders thought Xie Yingmian had a generous dowry.
In fact, it is not worth the money at all.
If Xie Yingmian uses the dowry, she will discover the trick.
Xie Yingmian had only been married to Prince Ling's mansion for half a month.
The outside world is also paying attention to the fact that the eldest daughter of the Xie family married Prince Ling to bring good luck.
If it were revealed that there was something wrong with the dowry, the Xie family would be humiliated.
In particular,
The dowry was discussed privately between her and her mother, and her father was not aware of it.
If my father knew...
"No!" said Xie Baoyu.
Xie Yingmian narrowed her eyes. "What do you mean? Even if I seal up my five thousand taels gambling money, it won't work?"
"No, I mean, it's not necessary." Xie Baoyu said, "I'll just be the witness."
Xie Baoyu signed her name.
The gambling agreement is made in triplicate and is officially effective.
Xie Yingmian was in a good mood.
She and Yu Lingye are comrades-in-arms, grasshoppers on the same rope.
It was easy to agree with Yu Lingye not to divorce him within six months.
The five thousand taels were already in her pocket.
Xie Yingmian looked at Du Fengting.
Du Fengting sneered: "Give up, I won't bet with you."
Xie Yingmian chuckled: "You think too much."
"Miss Tao's mouth isn't that foul, and she didn't insult me at all. I was just making a bet with her."
"As for you..."
"Your mouth stinks. I feel sick talking to you."
"I'm just here to warn you. I'm a very petty person. If you talk behind my back, that's fine, but if you curse me to my face, be prepared for a nasty mouth."
Du Fengting's face turned pale.
She didn't know if it was an illusion, but after Xie Yingmian talked so much, she felt a little hot in her mouth.
"Xie Yingmian, don't be so shameless."
"A wild tit flew up onto a branch and into a phoenix's nest, and it really thought it was a phoenix too."
"Why don't you look in the mirror? Who do you think you are? Do you think you are worthy of the godlike Prince Ling?"
Bang!
Xie Yingmian slapped Du Fengting in the face.
Du Fengting was slapped in the face and her eyes widened: "You hit me?"
Xie Yingmian was too lazy to talk nonsense.
It doesn't matter if she can't hear you scolding her behind her back.
If anyone dares to scold her in front of her, she would feel guilty if she doesn't slap him.
Xie Yingmian slapped Du Fengting left and right, slapping her face.
Du Fengting's cheeks were red and her mouth was burning from the beating.
"You...you!" Du Fengting was so angry that she went crazy.
"Xie Yingmian, you wild sparrow, you dare to hit me? I'll tear you to pieces!"
Du Fengting angrily attacked Xie Yingmian.
Wen Juexia found the right moment and kicked Du Fengting away.
Du Fengting was kicked in the heart and spat out a mouthful of blood.
As the blood came out, the burning sensation in my mouth became even more intense.
Du Fengting was beaten and became anxious. She got up and tried to rush forward again.
Tao Caiyue felt nervous.
She trusts her sixth sense.
Princess Ling is definitely not a pushover.
If she continues to make trouble, Feng Ting will definitely suffer a great loss.
"Feng Ting, don't be impulsive."
"I'm a little worried about Qingqing. Let's go catch up with Qingqing quickly." Tao Caiyue forcibly pulled Du Fengting away.
"Tao Caiyue, what are you doing?" Du Fengting asked angrily.
"She slapped me several times and kicked me. Am I going to suffer in vain?"
Tao Caiyue desperately grabbed Du Fengting and said, "Stop making trouble now."
"I'm making a fuss, am I the one making a fuss?" Du Fengting was almost mad.
"It's clear that they are going too far."
"Don't drag me. I must seek justice for myself today."
