Chapter 187 How much do you want?
If he likes you, no matter how bad your temper is, it is called personality. If he doesn’t like you, even if you are as gentle as a cat, he will still dislike you for shedding hair.
Xiao Yunxi bowed, but Shen Shumo refused to let her get up for a long time, clearly looking for trouble. No matter how polite and considerate she was, she still felt disgusted in her eyes.
Then just be yourself. It doesn’t matter whether others are happy or not. What matters is that you are happy. Xiao Yunxi didn’t wait for her to speak and slowly stood up.
Shen Shumo was just thinking about how to start talking when she saw Xiao Yunxi standing up. She immediately got angry and said to Xiao Yunxi in a bad tone:
"I'll give you 1000 taels, but leave my daughter. You're not worthy of her."
Zheng Tianming's eyes widened, and he looked at Shen Shumo with a subtle look. Zhou Jin's mother was probably not mentally ill. The Xiao family's wife was worth at least one million taels.
Give them 1000 taels?
Who are you embarrassing?
Could it be that he said less than ten thousand?
Shen Shumo said the funniest words in the most impolite tone, coupled with her self-proclaimed ferocious expression, Xiao Yunxi was both angry and amused.
"In your wife's eyes, your son is only worth 1000 taels?"
"Really? How much do you want?"
Shen Shumo felt that what she gave him was a little too little, and she said in a negotiating tone,
Aunt Qian behind her couldn't bear to watch.
Madam, we are not here to do business or bargain. Pull on her clothes and remind her to do something serious.
Shen Shumo's old face flushed slightly, and he cleared his throat:
"Little girl, don't be too greedy. 1000 taels is something many people can't earn in their entire lives. Considering your youth and ignorance, I'll give you 3000 taels. Is that okay?"
He is quite nice.
Xiao Yunxi nodded slightly, with a serious expression on her face.
“It’s still too little.”
Shen Shumo was furious:
"...Don't be greedy...I'll give you 5000 at most, no more!"
Everyone present was silent. Was she looking for trouble or doing business?
Xiao Yunxi almost laughed out loud.
Zhou Jin is quite smart, but his mother is a little silly. She raised a finger.
"Give me this amount and I'll consider it."
Shen Shumo jumped up and down:
"1 taels?"
Xiao Yunxi shook her head:
"It's 1 million taels of gold."
"You, you, you...you are simply insatiable..."
Madam Qian finally couldn't help but stand up and shouted:
"How dare you! How dare you play tricks on my wife!"
kidding me?
Shen Shumo looked at Aunt Qian with an unusually serious expression. Weren't they here to discuss the price? How could he be playing tricks on her?
do not care,
Madam Qian said whatever she wanted, and she said sternly with a stern face:
"How dare you play tricks on me!"
Xiao Yunxi shrugged:
"Madam, you're wrong. You want me to leave your son, and I want money. We each get what we need. I'm asking for an exorbitant price, and you're paying me back. Even if the deal doesn't go through, there's still righteousness, right?"
It seemed to make sense, but the asking price was a bit high. Even if she bargained, she couldn't afford it.
Let’s be frank. I’m going to bully others by taking advantage of my power.
"I'm not going to play tricks on you. I hope you can leave my son. This is advice and also a warning."
Shen Shumo looks arrogant and domineering, but in fact he is just a paper tiger.
People in the circle were afraid of Zhou Jin. Plus, she was tough on the outside but soft on the inside, and had no bad intentions, so everyone gave in to her, and she had never fought any tough battles.
The tone of voice is threatening, and those who don't know would think she is just acting like a spoiled child.
Not interesting,
Xiao Yunxi stopped teasing her intentionally.
"Ma'am, whether your son and I will end up together or not is up to him, not you."
"How dare he... It's my parents' order and the matchmaker's words. I don't agree, so how can he disobey me? I've been through it all. Marriage is about being well-matched. A forced marriage is not a happy one. Just take the money and find someone to marry..."
"Thank you, Madam Zhenbei, for your kindness. Whether you want to marry or not, your son should come and tell me himself."
Shen Shumo was shaking with anger. He was simply stubborn and refused to listen. He insisted that I say something unpleasant, right?
Wouldn't it be good?
If it was the wife or daughter of a prince or minister, she would scold them without hesitation. Bullying a weak girl with no background would bring shame to the Zhou family.
Her son will resent her.
so hard!
She was still hesitating when a burly nanny beside her stepped forward to act as her mouthpiece.
"You lowly creature! A slut, a second-married woman, yet you still want to climb up the social ladder. Even if you do, you're still a chicken, not a phoenix... If you know what's good for you, behave yourself, or I'll make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
Nanny Gui is the lowest-ranking nanny in the mansion. She usually does laundry and chores and never has the chance to appear in front of the lady. This time, she was able to come out with him.
Because of his large stature, he was used to scare people.
Madam has told me,
If Xiao Yunxi doesn't obey, she will follow Madam Qian's instructions.
The lady was so angry that she was shaking. It was because of her status that she couldn't take action. Nanny Qian had no tact at all, so she had to take the initiative.
She observed Shen Shumo while scolding her. Seeing that the lady did not react, she felt relieved and scolded her even more vigorously. The more she scolded, the more ruthless it became.
Aunt Qian frowned.
Madam is the biological mother of the prince and the mistress of the Marquis's Mansion. Considering the interests of the Marquis's Mansion, she is not wrong to be unwilling to let Xiao Yunxi enter the house.
You can come to see Xiao Yunxi, but you must not bully others by taking advantage of your power, otherwise it will damage the reputation of the Marquis' Mansion.
The lady is angry, can't she see it?
She didn't ask Nanny Gui to come out because she knew the Madam. She was just a spoiled child, and no matter how loudly she quarreled, she would never do anything excessive.
just,
Nanny Gui's insults and threats were against the rules of the Marquis's Mansion, but the Madam didn't say anything. Did she agree with it?
Approval fart!
She scolded Xiao Yunxi, calling her a second wife at most, but this Aunt Gui actually called her a slut and a whore to her face. It was so vulgar. How sad the girl must be!
"Shut up... just for me..."
Shen Shumo's eyes blurred.
clap clap.
Aunt Gui was cursing and spitting when she was suddenly slapped multiple times. She flew out and fell to the ground, groaning half-dead.
Shen Shumo's eyes widened, and her mouth was big enough to fit an egg.
So fast! So strong... so cool!
She saw Xiao Yunxi seemed to disappear on the spot, and the next second she appeared in front of Aunt Gui, slapped her a few times, and then kicked Aunt Gui out.
You have to know that Nanny Gui was specially selected by her. She was tall and strong, and she was kicked away by the delicate and weak Xiao Yunxi?
How terrifying is the power?
On weekdays, when arguing with those ladies, at most they would just exchange words, and no one would take action. After all, everyone wanted to save face, and Xiao Yunxi,
People who would rather take action than talk are really... pretty cool.
If she were his daughter-in-law, he would close the door and let his daughter-in-law go if anyone provoked her. It seemed pretty cool.
Nanny Qian couldn't guess what the lady was thinking, so she immediately stood in front of Shen Shumo, even though her hands were shaking with fear.
"Protect the lady!"
The guards of the Marquis' Mansion surrounded them instantly.
