Qiu Shi's heart trembled when she heard this, a cool breath rushed from the soles of her feet down her spine to the top of her head, her scalp was numb, and she suddenly had a sense of fear of falling straight into the abyss and facing death, which made her believe that this was Qi Ke's true words, and she really had the intention of killing.

"Don't!" Qi Shan was frightened, hugging the table legs and trembling wildly, "I don't want to die!" I've told you everything, I've told you everything, don't kill me! I don't want to die! ”

“…… Miss? ”

At the door, the housekeeper and the bookkeeper stood there with a stout servant woman with a rope, I don't know how much they had heard, anyway, their faces were complicated.

Qi Ke didn't bother to care about what people were thinking, she took a few steps out of the way and nodded her chin lazily at Qi Shan.

"It's just in time, take her out, the family should be neat."

"No!!!! Don't kill me! It's all grandparents' and your father's idea! It's none of my business!! It's none of my business!!!! ”

Qi Shan screamed frantically, desperately dodging and struggling under the table, but the servants lifted the table, like carrying a little chicken, grabbed her collar and dragged her out, dragged her to the yard, and then neatly gagged her hands and threw them together with her father, mother, brother and sister.

The inside and outside of the house finally quieted down, and there were no more annoying noises.

"Come, housekeeper, bookkeeper, let's continue, first briefly estimate how much money I should be able to get back, hurry up and get things done, and finish things early, so that the family can restore order as soon as possible."

The housekeeper and the bookkeeper nodded again and again, returned to their original seats in the house and sat down, Qiu was still on top, only her girl was by her side, and the two women didn't dare to make a sound, for fear that Qi Ke would think of them.

The bookkeeper took the list of dowries, and estimated the same thing according to what was written on it in the absence of a physical object, but fortunately, everything was described very clearly, and the long name of each thing included the size of the material, like the full name of a pair of gold earrings is a silver gilt inlaid ruby flower-shaped earring, not to mention what the shape looks like, just the six words silver gilt and inlaid ruby are worth a lot of silver, and the gold bracelet and silver bracelet are also clearly written in weight, four or two double filigree silver gilt inlaid jade bracelets or something, such a heavy bracelet is definitely not worn daily, It can only press the bottom of the box, but one is worth a lot of money, not to mention that this kind of bracelet is in pairs, there are several pairs.

Qi Ke listened quietly, while listening to his own heart to do additions, just jewelry fabrics, clothes for the four seasons, furniture, daily necessities and silver in the box, adding a piece of more than a thousand taels of silver, not to mention the field property, are all high-grade paddy fields, where to put at least ten taels of silver a mu, if the high-quality fields in the suburbs of the capital are even more expensive, unless the disaster year can be cheaper, but it is also worth the price of the middle field, it is impossible to fall to the price of the inferior field, and the dowry list is accompanied by fifty acres of land, according to ten taels, this is five hundred taels of silver, In this way, the minimum value of the entire dowry list is two thousand five hundred taels of silver, and it is normal to estimate it at three thousand or even higher.

Qiu Shi listened to the total, and was secretly jealous in her heart, her dowry did not have so many good things, the merchant Jurchen was rich, and when the jealousy was over, Qiu Shi was so heartbroken that he died, and this money had to be paid by the family.

"Okay, let's search these rooms first and see if we can scrape together two thousand five hundred taels of silver."

The housekeeper and the bookkeeper shook their heads and smiled bitterly, and they could see at a glance that they couldn't make up two thousand five taels of silver by turning the entire courtyard upside down.
