Mu Rousang set the teacup down heavily on the table, stood up and said: ”If sister-in-law feels troubled and only cares about the way, I'll go back to father now, and say that our family is so poor that we can't even open the pot, and we won't even be able to take out the silver for Mother's burial ground. It's only a matter of a few thousand, and we'll be able to gather enough money if we don't eat some delicacies in the palace.”
Su Waner laughed awkwardly, she stood up and pulled Mu Rousang who was about to turn around and leave, and said: ”Look at my younger sister's impatience, I never said that I won't give you the money, aren't we discussing?”
Mu Rousang said: ”Then, what does sister-in-law intend to do?”
Mu Rousang saw that she was not happy, and replied indifferently: ”Just now, if Sister-in-law does not believe me, she could have just sent someone to South study to ask Royal Father, I believe that he has not left home yet.”
She hesitated for a bit, then said: ”Younger Sister-in-law, I'm not afraid to tell you the truth. If you don't manage the household, then you won't know how expensive oil and salt are, and the expenses in the household are great. Every year, you have to split a portion of it among the clan members of the back street, but now the household can't even afford it.”
But Mu Rousang laughed coldly: ”Elder sister-in-law wants to say that our Duke Palaces only have that kind of reputation to look good? Yet, it is a Prince's Mansion that is extremely poor? ”
Su Waner really did not dare to reply, saying that she was desperately poor, wouldn't that just be slapping Prince Chung in the face? Even if she wasn't really poor, then the cost of moving the grave would be a lot of money. However, she felt so much heartache that she couldn't bear to part with the money.
Mu Rousang set the teacup down heavily on the table, stood up and said: ”If sister-in-law feels troubled and only cares about the way, I'll go back to father now, and say that our family is so poor that we can't even open the pot, and we won't even be able to take out the silver for Mother's burial ground. It's only a matter of a few thousand, and we'll be able to gather enough money if we don't eat some delicacies in the palace.”
Su Waner laughed awkwardly, she stood up and pulled Mu Rousang who was about to turn around and leave, and said: ”Look at my younger sister's impatience, I never said that I won't give you the money, aren't we discussing?”
Mu Rousang said: ”Then, what does sister-in-law intend to do?”
Su Waner saw that she was a little moved and said: ”To fix Second Mother's grave is naturally the right choice, but we are very short on cash right now, if we were to split it, we can do it, but first we will draw out a thousand taels and then send someone to pay for it, but, this will be useful, I am not afraid that you will be greedy, what about this money, no matter how hard it is used, we will have to register it, so it will be easier for us to use it in the future.”
She raised her eyebrows and sneered, ”A thousand taels? How could his elder sister-in-law have the nerve to show it to him? Two thousand taels! My husband has already asked my royal father, saying that it is necessary to make an extremely exquisite piece of the stone to polish. Rest assured, that is my biological mother, of course I will use every single copperplate on it. ”
”Two thousand taels is a little difficult.” Su Waner looked to be in a difficult position.
Mu Rousang said: ”What if the large Duke Palaces don't even have two thousand taels? Eldest Sister-in-Law, how about I go to Royal Father and ask him to cut down on all the servants in the mansion. There are only a few masters, but there are at least hundreds of servants. ”
However, Su Waner was unwilling. She was extremely fond of a woman, and had gathered all the people she could from the lass. Su Waner raised her orchid shaped fingers and lightly tapped her forehead, and laughed: ”Okay, you, you really have a sharp mouth, your sister-in-law can't keep her mouth shut, but can't win against you!”
”Then I will thank elder sister-in-law. Xia Yu!” She thanked him and called out the door.
Xia Yu, Chai Er and the rest were talking and laughing in the corridor, when they heard Owner call for her, they immediately responded, knowing that the matter had been settled.
She, Chai Er and the rest hurriedly picked up the curtains and entered to listen to the servant.
”Young mistress, your servant has arrived. Do you have any instructions?”
Mu Rousang laughed: ”Sister-in-law is a person who knows how to respect etiquette, she straightforwardly took out the silver and silver, you just need to go with Eldest Young Lady to the tent to retrieve the two thousand taels of silver.”
”It's Young Mistress!” Xia Yu took Mu Rousang's hint and innocently turned to ask: ”Eldest Young Lady, how about we complete this task now?”
The corner of Su Waner's mouth moved, wanting to say that she would not be left empty-handed today, but Mu Rousang had already answered ahead of time: ”Don't worry, your Eldest Young Lady has already agreed to this matter, and will naturally take care of it.”
Once he said it like that, Su Waner was too embarrassed to refuse, he could only muster up his courage and ask Zhui Er to get the match, and then went to the tent to withdraw the two thousand taels.
Mu Rousang saw the two of them leaving and when she was done, she laughed and said that it was already late, time to go home and make dinner.
Su Waner's heart ached for the two thousand silver, and she was in no mood to chat with Mu Rousang. She only exchanged a few pleasantries before she sent the little girl off.
”This is so infuriating!” Su Waner fiercely threw the colored porcelain teacup in her hand onto the ground. This was enough, she grabbed the vase and threw it on the plate, only then did she vent her anger.
”Aiyo, my master, which blind person offended you again?” Chai Er saw that she had calmed down and immediately waved for the little girl to pour tea for him, before he called for people to clean up the broken pieces of porcelain in the hut.
Su Waner glanced at her, then said: ”You little hoof, you know why I'm angry, but you're still pretending right now?”
However, Chai Er said: ”Young mistress, didn't I see that you fell so hard? This servant received a letter a few days ago, but saw that your favorite porcelain pavilion had a new appearance.
