The Spirited Daughter-in-law and the Mountain Man
Chapter 1432 - Chapter 1432 1432 slaps given by Yueer

Chapter 1432: 1432 slaps given by Yue’er Chapter 1432: 1432 slaps given by Yue’er Xiao Yuchuan just listened without saying a word.

Shen Yun became even more convinced that it was right not to speak ill of Su Qingyue in front of her son, “It’s just over 30,000 taels of silver worth of items; it doesn’t matter if Yue’er doesn’t like them. Yue’er charged your father and me such a high price for food and accommodation, 115,000 taels of silver–that’s an astronomical sum. Even for aristocratic families like the first-class ones, your father and I didn’t carry that much cash silver. Although Yue’er said it was for ‘food and accommodation,’ Chuan’er, think about it, where could there be such expensive food and accommodation? Even if you ask for an exorbitant amount, it shouldn’t be this high. Moreover, within the family, it seems rather alienating to charge each other for food and accommodation.

Your father and I were thinking, perhaps Yue’er is in business and cash-strapped for a time, wanting some silver. Your father’s and my money is yours after all. Seeing how much you adore Yue’er and considering your sake, your father agreed to give her 115,000 taels. This child Yue’er…”

Shen Yun spoke with an indulgent tone, “She still didn’t trust your father and insisted that he write an IOU. You see, Yue’er’s actions are really quite adorable. The IOU has been written for Yue’er, and she demanded that the silver must be available within three days. There you have it, your father has already dispatched additional personnel to transfer the silver over, ensuring that all of it will be in Yue’er’s hands in three days.”

“Is there more?” asked Xiao Yuchuan, his face revealing no particular emotion.

Shen Yun suddenly felt that her son’s schemes were very deep, and she couldn’t figure out his thoughts, “Yue’er is having us old folks stay in the Mansion, charging 300 taels per night, and we’re not allowed to use any food, items, or order the servants around, or else…”

“She’s charging by the item, right?” Xiao Yuchuan asked coldly.

“Yes…” Shen Yun hesitated for a moment but nodded.

Xiao Yuchuan bluntly pointed out the fact, “The so-called money you say my wife asked for, she’s merely collecting some food and accommodations fees. Don’t make it sound as though my wife owes you something.”

“Chuan’er…” She had never expected him to say such a thing. She had been waiting for him to get angry, furious at that despicable woman Su Qingyue for being so greedy.

After all, the sum of silver Su Qingyue charged was incredibly high; it suggested a heart of great darkness.

She asked cautiously, “Chuan’er, don’t you think that what Yue’er is charging is a tad expensive?”

It was outrageously expensive, and she still chose her words carefully.

“Aren’t the first-class families supposed to have plenty of money?” Xiao Yuchuan laughed, “Lady Xiao, since there’s a lot of money, who would complain about it being expensive. If my wife wants to charge 300 taels of silver a night, then it must be a fair price. And her, she loves money very much… but she earns it honorably. If she wants to charge you 115,000 taels of silver, she must have provided an itemized bill, a consumption account. If there is anything unclear, any charges made improperly, I’ll ask my wife about it tonight. You can come back tomorrow morning and consult with me.”

Shen Yun was utterly stupefied; her son was blatantly siding with others over his own family. She was so angry she was shaking all over, yet a kindly smile still rested on her face, “There’s no need to make a fuss over a little money.”

It seemed that pulling her son’s heart back from that despicable woman Su Qingyue wouldn’t be easy.

“Chuan’er, it’s just a little money, merely a trivial family matter,” Shen Yun said worriedly. “Today, Yue’er invited Chang Haotian to the Mansion right in front of your father and me. I think as Yue’er is one of the people of the Xiao Family, her actions are really not appropriate. Although I trust Yue’er’s character, I can’t trust Chang Haotian. I tried to intervene at the moment, but I didn’t expect Yue’er to respond with a slap.”
