The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1421 - Chapter 1421 1421 Just pay half the money

Chapter 1421: 1421 Just pay half the money. Chapter 1421: 1421 Just pay half the money. Xiao Chonghuan almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

Shen Yun’s face also turned as pale as paper, “Master Chang…”

Before she finished speaking, seeing Chang Haotian’s displeased look, remembering he disliked her interjecting, she lowered her head.

“Master Chang, you are being too extortionate!” Xiao Chonghuan knew this was no joke. More than 200,000 taels could probably buy an entire poor town. Having to actually pay this much for food and accommodation, he would never rest in peace if he died.

“The interest for borrowing money from me is just like this.” Chang Haotian kindly inquired, “So, does the Master of the Xiao Family wish to borrow?” He commanded the guard who had been quietly standing behind him, “Chang Feng, prepare the pen and ink.”

“Your subordinate will fetch them from the Mansion right away.” Chang Feng turned to leave.

“No need. Qing’er’s Mansion has them readily available, doesn’t it?”

“But it will cost money to use them…”

“I have plenty of money,” Chang Haotian said boastfully, “unlike the Master of the Xiao Family who is so penny-pinching. How much did I pay for that dish of vegetables at Drunken Immortal Pavilion last time?”

“Back to Estate Owner, two taels of silver,” Chang Feng answered truthfully.

“What about the osmanthus cake made by imperial Chef Liu of the capital city?”

“Back to Estate Owner, thirty taels per plate.”

“And how much are the tailoring fees for a set of clothes for me?”

“Starting price of two hundred taels.”

“Such as it is, the food and accommodation expenses in Qing’er’s Mansion are indeed very cheap,” Chang Haotian remarked with a sigh, “The vegetables in Qing’er’s home only cost half a tael of silver, osmanthus cake ten taels, and a set of clothes only fifty taels… It’s so cheap, Qing’er, why don’t you increase the price a bit?”

Chang Feng felt depressed inside as he listened. Su Qingyue was obviously asking for the sky.

The last time they went to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion, the Master paid two taels for the vegetables, which included a tip. Chef Liu, retired from Palace service, usually stayed At home in retirement and rarely made cakes, so it naturally cost thirty taels to invite him to make cakes at the Mansion just once. As for the Master’s clothes, the tailoring fee was two hundred taels because the Master had used the finest materials from the most famous embroidery workshop in the capital city, naturally making it expensive.

These were different circumstances and environments.

Su Qingyue was treating people like pigs for slaughter.

It was also the first time he realized that the Estate Owner could play word games too.

Even though he thought this, as a servant, he dared not speak out. Going against the master’s wishes could result in being skinned alive.

“I, Su Qingyue, am a fair business person. I won’t raise my prices,” Su Qingyue humbly stated. “Master Chang’s Estate is the largest in the world, and I dare not compete with your spending levels. I also don’t want such high interest rates, lest the Master of the Xiao Family be unable to pay.”

Xiao Chonghuan’s beard twisted with anger, really wanting to curse out, who can’t afford to pay!

Seeing Su Qingyue’s calm and indifferent demeanor, as if she didn’t care about the money, he felt she was just provoking him to jump into a trap, but he wouldn’t be fooled!

He simply held back, staying silent.

Su Qingyue was actually waiting for Xiao Chonghuan to double the amount at the drop of a hat. Who would’ve thought this old turtle could be so patient? To save money, he wouldn’t even let a fart out, “As for the interest Master Chang mentioned, I won’t even take one-tenth of it. Let’s do this; the Master of the Xiao Family can just give a few thousand taels, rounding it up to a total of 115,000 taels of silver.”

Xiao Chonghuan, overwhelmed by anger, nearly lost his balance since Su Qingyue had previously immobilized him with a pressure point, “As you say!”

“Master!” Shen Yun exclaimed. With so much silver, it would be scandalous to let the despicable person surnamed Su get away with such wealth.

“If you don’t pay the money, should I cut off your hand?” Xiao Chonghuan was furious.

Su Qingyue kindly reminded, “If Lady Xiao is willing to cut a hand off, then paying half the amount will suffice.”
