Chapter 1424: 1424 Hit Me with Money1 Chapter 1424: 1424 Hit Me with Money1 “Master, you…” Shen Yun’s face, covered in heavy makeup, was full of amazement.

“The expenses at Su Qingyue’s Mansion are… considered reasonable.” He inwardly thought they were outrageously expensive, unprecedented and likely never to be surpassed, but since Chang Haotian kept insisting they were cheap, if he continued to complain about the cost, it would make the Master of the Xiao Family look as if he couldn’t afford it, wouldn’t that be a laughingstock to everyone in the world?

“The detailed expenses of my Mansion, Master Xiao, Lady Xiao, you are now clear about them,” Qingyue said with a faint smile. “The next time we settle accounts, you won’t default on the payment again, will you?”

“Why add the word ‘again’?” Xiao Chonghuan now appeared to be quite generous, “Rest assured, whatever is meant for you, you won’t miss a single cent. You just might not be alive to collect it!”

“That’s good to hear,” Qingyue said as she glanced at the row of dead bodies in the yard. “These guards of yours who look skilled in martial arts but were killed by just one of Chang Haotian’s guards, do you want my Mansion’s people to handle it for you, or will Master Xiao take care of it yourself? Having my Mansion’s people do it will entail a processing fee. Let’s say, a friendly price, one hundred taels per corpse. Don’t think that one hundred taels is expensive, oh no. I have to spend on buying coffins for each, hire people to change their burial clothes, burn paper money, purchase grave plots… If I want to arrange a respectable burial, I’m really not making much profit from you.”

Even if they went for the cheapest options, the most it would cost them was ten taels for the whole process, of course, higher-quality services would naturally be more expensive.

No merchant lacks shrewdness, right?

Coffin merchants make money off the dead, and I, Su Qingyue, a killer, earn my living from this line of work too.

“The dead bodies of my subordinates will be taken care of by us,” Xiao Chonghuan didn’t want Qingyue to gain any more advantages.

“Alright then. If there’s nothing else,” Qingyue looked around at the servants in her Mansion, “remember this, Master Xiao, Lady Xiao are our distinguished guests. Whatever they ask you to do, just do it, and when you’re done, log it with Yinzhu over there. Got it?”

“Yes.”

“Throughout these forty days, all who were ordered around by Grandpa Xiao, Lady Xiao, will be rewarded.”

“Thank you, young Lady!” the servants expressed their gratitude.

“That will be all. Master Xiao, Lady Xiao, I hope you enjoy your stay. I need to attend to my own business now.” Qingyue had walked a few steps away, then seemingly remembered something and added, “Oh right, the angina Lady Xiao suffers from, those quack doctors you’ve hired can’t cure it, but just by looking at it, I know I can.”

Whenever Shen Yun’s angina struck, the pain was so dreadful that just thinking about it made her shudder with fear. Thus, she shamelessly said, “Well, aren’t you going to come over and examine me? ‘Unnamed’s’ medical fee is just a mere one thousand taels, small change really.”

“Is that so,” Qingyue’s voice was as calm as still water, “I forgot to mention to Lady Xiao, one thousand taels is just my base fee for making a house call. Me, I don’t save those I dislike. But if I don’t like someone, yet they can afford it, someone like me who is all about money can actually be crushed to death with it. To put it simply, I don’t like you, but if you can afford it, I will treat you.”

“How much?” Shen Yun no longer wasted words. If it could cure her angina, even 10,000 taels would be worth it!

“Not much, just 100,000 taels.”

“You!” Shen Yun’s eyes widened in shock, “Su Qingyue, you’re really asking for the moon!”

“I’ve already said, unless you can crush me with the money, don’t bother asking for my help if you can’t afford it,” Qingyue said sweetly. “And Lady Xiao, should you lose a child, don’t come looking for me either.”

“I’ll pay,” Xiao Chonghuan said expressionlessly.
