Chapter 805: Losing Both Wife and Soldiers

this sharp, thick branch.”“That's when he lost his life.”Zong Hu clenched his fists tightly, "I'm going to the county town to report to the officials!"Fang Jinshu nodded. "When it comes to a matter o...Zong Taiwu widened his eyes in astonishment. What a sight to behold!

He pointed at the pair of stone benches on the ground, and asked in disbelief again.

How much do you say

"Five hundred taels."

"This pair of stone stools was meticulously crafted by Da Xi's most skilled artisans over three months."

"This is a masterpiece crafted with great care and effort by the master, it's not just an ordinary stool."

"And this stone, it is also a rare mineral, extremely scarce, even more precious than jade."

"I'm giving you a discount because Young Master is the grandson of Prime Minister Yuan. If I charged you the full price, it would be one thousand taels."

Fu Ming's mouth twitched suspiciously, fortunately he held it in just in time.

Zhong Taiwu was stunned by Fang Jinshi's persuasion. At first, he didn't believe it, but seeing that she spoke with such detail, he hesitantly asked a question.

"Really"

Fu Ming quickly nodded.

"Indeed, it is crafted from the finest ore."

Zong Taiwu's face was extremely ugly. Although he was the son of the Minister of Household and his maternal grandfather was the current chief minister.

But his father came from a poor family, and when his mother married him, her family had no foundation at all. They relied entirely on his maternal grandfather and his mother using their own private funds to support the family until now.

He has been forced by his mother to take over the family business for the past two years. He's not cut out for business, and he has run up quite a debt for the family.

He would be in agony even if it was only five hundred taels.

But Zong Taimu was absolutely impossible to show in front of outsiders. As the second son of a high-ranking official, if it were spread that he couldn't even come up with one thousand taels of silver, wouldn't that be even more disgraceful to his family

Fang Jinshi didn't urge him on, letting Zong Taimu stand there agonizing for a while.

One thousand taels of silver That's impossible!

It seems like the financial situation of the Zongpingchuan family is a bit dire, isn't it Good news, good news!

In the end, Zong Taiwu still gritted his teeth and took out a silver note.

For face, he certainly couldn't really only lose five hundred taels.

With a thousand taels silver note, he viciously prepared to throw it at the two faces.

Shen Li stood aside, nimbly catching the silver notes from the air with her quick reflexes, not a single one falling. She neatly handed them all to Fang Jinshi.

"My lady, please have a look."

Fang Jinshiu smiled immediately after taking the money, not caring at all about Zong Taimu's previous attempt to humiliate them.

"Well, young master Zong is really generous."

"They said they'd give you a discount out of respect for the Chancellor, but why are you still paying full price"

The more she laughed, the more Zong Taiwu clenched his teeth in hatred.

The hypocritical woman, clutching the silver note tightly in her hand, was smiling so happily.

"As the second son of a high-ranking official's household, how could I possibly care about a measly five hundred taels of silver!"

"Hmph, don't ever let me see the two of you again!"

I'm so angry, Zongtai is infuriating me to no end.

When turning to leave, he wasn't careful and almost tripped over the threshold, leaving Fang Jinshu's mansion in a rather clumsy manner.

When they arrive, they are full of energy and enthusiasm. When they leave, they are frustrated and upset.

Not only did I not get any benefit, but I also lost a thousand taels of silver. It's really unlucky!

Lost both wife and soldiers.

Zong Taiwu had just left when Fu Ming shook his head and also left.

In the evening, when Xiaoyue was serving Fang Jinshu combing her hair, she still worriedly asked.

"My lady, that Second Young Master doesn't seem like a good person. His family is so powerful, what if they take revenge on us while Young Master Fu is away"

In broad daylight, the mistress personally came to examine her back wound and gave her two hundred taels of silver.

...as compensation for the injuries she sustained today....

Little Yue's heart was filled with overwhelming emotion. In an ordinary household, who would stand up for a servant like her

Two hundred taels would be enough to buy a dozen men back.

So Xiǎoyuè was especially worried, afraid that Fāng Jǐnxiù would be retaliated against by the Zong Shìláng family because of helping her out.ssed. Fang Xiaochao held a completely different significance to her compared to the Zong family members.Just then, Xiaocǎo's stomach started rumbling loudly. She quickly retracted her hand and covered...
