The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 485 - Has Her Mouth Been Consecrated?



Chapter 485: Has Her Mouth Been Consecrated?

The steward was extremely excited.

He quickly got someone to bring the items into the courtyard. Then, he looked at the old man and thought for a moment, “Do you want to come in and have a cup of tea before you leave?”

Xie Mangshan subconsciously wanted to walk in.

Then, he suddenly remembered that he was currently in a bad situation. The master had said that since he wanted to save his life, he had to be sincere. Moreover, he could not take advantage of that benefactor…

“Forget it, forget it. I’m just here to deliver something. I’ll leave now…” Xie Mangshan waved and looked at the boxes reluctantly.

He looked back three times after taking one step.

He did that until he could no longer see them.

The steward was going out of his mind. He first checked all the boxes and checked the financial records.

Not long after, Xie Qiao returned from the academy. The steward excitedly handed the list to Xie Qiao, “Young Lady, I don’t know what happened to this old master, but he actually sent all his assets here today! Look, they’re all here!”

However, the old master’s family really could spend. After giving them so much, only 20-30% remained!

The family had a ledger. As the steward, he had a clear understanding of the previous accounts.

When Ms. Lu was around, every Chinese New Year, Qing Ming Festival, Mid-autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, and Winter Clothes Festival, they would send things and silver to the old house.

In total, the silver spent on the old house was no less than 6,000 taels of silver each year!

That excluded some of the things in the house, such as the items in the old master’s iron box that were worth an unknown amount.

The old master and the others had moved to the capital for four to five years.

In total, almost 30,000 taels of silver were gone.

Oh right, that house was not included.

Now…

Xie Qiao looked at the ledger and her eyelids twitched.

That house should have been sold as there was a contract in the box to sell the house. It was also written on it that the house was sold for 4,800 taels of silver.

It should have been sold at a cheap price. After all, the house her father bought for the old lady was big and the location was pretty good.

Excluding the money from the house, there was still 4,300 taels of silver in it. The rest were cloth, jewelry, furnishings, bedding, lamps, furniture and other miscellaneous items.

She could not believe it. How did this family manage to give out so much money?

Fortunately, she got all these things back.

Xie Qiao did not expect it to be so smooth.

“Young Lady, what do you think is wrong with this old master? He even said many strange things. He was so weird and scary,” the steward sighed.

He could not believe that man would send money over!

Was he a fool?

Xie Qiao raised her head with a serious expression and smiled proudly, “Maybe… he’s afraid of retribution.”

The steward was speechless, he did not understand.

Not only did the steward not understand, when Xie Pinggang returned, he was confused too.

He had thought about secretly getting that family to leave and return the money at the same time!

However he had never expected that day to come so suddenly!

“Xie Mangshan… Could it be that he has a conscience now?” Xie Pinggang touched those miscellaneous items. He was quite surprised.

Although they were initially from his family, they had obtained them for nothing now.

How could he not be happy?

There were no outsiders present, so Xie Qiao said, “It’s me… my Senior Aunty. She lied to Xie Mangshan and said that he was about to face a great calamity. He did this to save himself from the calamity. Moreover… he thinks that our Father will return the silver to him in the future because our Father is his benefactor.”

Xie Qiao was proud.

How could her eldest brother, who only knew how to steal wine, understand her ability?

“She coaxed him with just a few words? Has your Senior Aunty’s mouth been consecrated?! Let her perform divination on me. I want that too,” Xie Pinggang was excited.
