Chapter Fifty-Six: Money Opens the Way
As soon as such a fake Taoist priest came out, and he planted it so clearly to Mu Jinxi, none of the people present were fools, and naturally they all understood who was making trouble!
Especially in front of Dong Limo, Mu Chenfeng felt that he couldn't get off the stage, his face sank, and he said coldly, "Madame is tired, take Madame back to the courtyard to recuperate!" β
How could Mu Jinxi let things pass so easily, and raised his arm to stop, "Father, how can the gate of this mansion be so shoddy, and the gate of the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion is actually a golden flam, and it is not in it?" β
Although the words were said to Mu Chenfeng, her eyes were staring at Zhao Wan'er deadly, "My aunt is in charge of the middle of the house, and my dowry shop is still in my aunt's hands, as far as I know, there is a gold jewelry shop in my dowry shop, and the profit alone reaches one million a year, and my aunt is holding this lot of silver, and this family is regarded as such?" β
A maid heard this and exclaimed in a low voice, "What? A million taels? What a huge sum of money that is, I'm afraid I won't be able to save it for dozens of lifetimes without eating or drinking! β
"Yes! However, since ancient times, women's dowries have been taken care of by themselves, how can the dowry of a concubine be held by the eldest lady in the hands of her aunt? β
"Hey, you're not in the house for a day or two, this kind of thing, don't break your mouth, in case you ......"
Although he said this, those shallow whispers also entered Dong Limo's ears, and the waves in his eyes moved slightly, and before he opened his mouth, Mu Chenfeng preemptively asked, "One million taels a year?" Why didn't I know about this? β
Zhao Wan'er explained with a face full of grievances, "Master, don't you know who I am?" A boudoir woman in Jinxi doesn't know the accounts, she only knows the input, but she doesn't know the management of the year and the expenditure of the workers! Hey, the gold shop is just glamorous on the outside, but in fact, it still needs the Prime Minister's Mansion to put money inside! What's more, there is no annual income of one million! β
"Auntie said yes! After all, the Zhao family has climbed so fast in the past few years, hey...... It's really pitiful, the dignified Prime Minister's Mansion, how to say it, is also the head of a hundred officials, if people know that even the gate is rotten wood, I don't know how to laugh at my father! How can I say that I am also my father's daughter, it is better to take out some of my dowry silver to change the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but my dowry silver is not in my hands, and I will ask my aunt! β
Although Mu Jinxi's words are all for the consideration of the Prime Minister's Mansion, every sentence is a slap in Mu Chenfeng's face!
The concubine's room is fed in the palm of her hand, and it is just enough to fill her private pockets to help her mother's family, and she also occupies the dowry of her daughter. Forget it, even if your own faΓ§ade is in tatters, it was exposed in front of the prince!
As soon as these words came out, Mu Chenfeng's face turned gloomy and inky.
In officialdom, if others don't know about it, can he still not know it? The Zhao family has climbed so fast in the past few years, it is impossible to say that there is no silver money to open the way, but that money, he didn't know that it came out of his father-in-law!
The prince was still in the courtyard, Mu Chenfeng tried to restrain his urge to slap Zhao Wan'er, and arched his hand at Dongli Mo to show his guilt.
Seeing this, Mu Jinxi also walked up to Dong Limo, "Jinxi pleads guilty to His Royal Highness the Prince!" Let you see the jokes, it's all something that can't be put on the table. It's just that you're even more disappointed that your sister's Heavenly Destiny Phoenix Girl is made up, right? βγ
Mu Jinxi smiled like an innocent little girl, but what she said made everyone present change their faces......
