Chapter 137: ask for

  The booklet is very thin, and the old lady finished it quickly.

  Her hands were shaking, her face was shaking, her eye sockets were also shaking, and she was in a state that seemed to collapse at any moment.

  Duan Shaoqing still cared about the old mother, and looked worriedly at the old lady's reaction.

  Xin You looked pale, waiting for the next move.

   We have already reached this point, so there is no need for those who are well-behaved.

  The old lady looked at Xin You slowly, scrutinizing her as she did when her granddaughter came to Beijing four years ago.

  In four years, the girl at the time has grown into a young girl, and her facial features have opened up and stretched. It was always quiet before, and I didn't notice it until I looked closely, but now I realize that there are actually quite a few changes in the eyebrows and eyes.

  The old lady even felt that the girl in front of her was a little strange.

  Is this still her sensitive and well-behaved granddaughter?

   "Qingqing, where did you get this booklet?" After a long time, the old lady's voice sounded erratic.

"Of course it was left by my mother." Xin You rolled her eyes and glanced at the old lady and Duan Shaoqing, "This booklet was copied, and there are several copies in the bookstore. Oh, and the manuscripts are also in the bookstore. Both."

   Seeing Duan Shaoqing's face change, Xin You smiled: "But don't worry, uncle, they won't open it privately. The people in the bookstore don't have any great skills, but they have enough respect for my boss."

   Duan Shaoqing clenched his fists with a dark face.

   Is this threatening him not to act rashly?

  Duan Shaoqing didn't think about it. Taking advantage of the opportunity of his niece's return, he simply left him in the mansion and told the public that he was ill.

  The dead girl has no other relatives in the capital, so she stays in her grandfather's home to take care of her pathologist. Of course, who can force her way in to check?

  However, his sanity returned, and he gave up the idea.

   With people like Princess Zhaoyang and Marquis Changle staring at her, it's a bit risky, and the old lady is not ventilating here.

   Now it seems that this girl has been on guard for a long time.

  That's right, how could this girl not think about her own safety if she was able to take care of herself every step of the way. Sure enough, I still need to appease her first, and wait for her to relax before doing anything.

Xin You left some time for the two of them to digest their emotions, and looked at the old lady: "Grandmother, this account book has millions of taels of silver, and there are some farm shops. Qingqing is not an ungrateful person. You have to worry about it. How about this, I only need 800,000 taels, and the rest should be filial to you for my mother."

   "Eight hundred thousand?" The old lady was trembling with anger, "Qingqing, do you know how much eight hundred thousand is? It's not eight hundred taels, eight thousand taels!"

  Xin You smiled: "Whether it is 800 taels or 800,000 taels, the amount is not the most important thing, what is important is the ownership of the property. Even if it is 8 million taels, isn't it Qingqing's?"

   Is it possible that after taking this huge sum of money for so many years, I thought it belonged to the Shaoqing Mansion?

"Grandmother thinks that I am young now, and said that I will give it to me after I leave the cabinet. But I will be seventeen soon, and I have reached the age to leave the cabinet. During this period, I have also proved through opening a bookstore that I can't keep my money. I have to leave the cabinet before giving it to me." What is the need for me? When the day comes when I leave the cabinet, will I say that my in-laws are not trustworthy, so I should stay in Shaoqing's mansion as a way out for me?"

   There are countless reasons why I don’t want to spit out the property I have eaten. In the final analysis, it is greed.

   "Qingqing, you say so much, but in fact you don't trust grandma, right?" The old lady looked heartbroken.

  The girl looked at her with dark eyes: "Then when Qingqing leaves the cabinet, will grandma give me the one million taels of silver and the pavements and fields mentioned in the brochure?"

  The old lady froze.

  Of course not!

  Xin You smiled: "Qingqing wants to take care of her own property now, as long as it is 800,000."

   "What are you doing with so much money? The bookstore is no better than your home. What would you do if you were robbed?"

   "Why is my grandmother worried about things that haven't happened yet? I heard that the palace has been caught in fire, and no place is absolutely safe. If there is a thief, Qingqing should bear it."

  The young girl Qing Lingling turned her eyes to Duan Shaoqing, her face showing impatience: "If both grandma and uncle think so, I will not waste my time as a junior. I will go back to the bookstore first."

   Seeing her get up, Duan Shaoqing panicked: "Stop!"

  Xin You tilted her head to look at him.

Duan Shaoqing controlled the distorted expression, and gave the old lady a wink: "Mother, since Qingqing wants to take care of the property by herself, please follow her, so that she can understand that our Shaoqing's house has never had any idea about these properties. "

The old lady took a deep breath to relieve her suffocating heartache: "Qingqing, the 800,000 taels was not taken out at will. Part of the money was borrowed, and the other part was bought for a more promising shop. After you get engaged, start to deal with it..."

   "Grandma means you can't take it out?"

   "If you want it now, you can give about 400,000 taels. The rest may take a while."

  Xin You shook her head.

  The old lady's eyes turned cold: "Why, I can't give you the rest later? Qingqing, do you still regard your grandmother as a relative?"

  Xin You raised her hand and pressed the center of her eyebrows, her voice was exhausted: "Grandmother, we've finished talking here, so don't talk about family affection. I want 800,000 taels, and I'll get it tomorrow at the latest."

   "Tomorrow is impossible." The old lady ignored Duan Shaoqing's winking, "At most, I can make up five hundred thousand taels."

   There are 300,000 taels left, so it is natural to delay.

   This girl got a huge sum of five hundred thousand taels, so she wouldn't be so stupid as to fight the Shaoqing Mansion again.

  The old lady is very aware of the difference in mentality between being barefoot and wearing shoes.

  Xin You was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Does the Shaoqing House intend to marry the Guchangbo House?"

  The old lady's eyes tightened: "Why are you asking this?"

   "Who is Guchangbo's mansion looking at?"

  The old lady murmured in her heart: Could this girl have taken a fancy to Gu Changbo's son?

  Seeing that the old lady was hesitant to speak, Xin You asked directly: "Is it cousin Ling?"

  The old lady frowned: "Qingqing, why do you care about this so much? Do you have any thoughts?"

   "I don't want Ling cousin to marry the son of Gu Changbo."

  The old lady showed anger: "Qingqing, you are a little girl, do you care too much?"

  The third girl is crying to Qingqing?

"Six hundred thousand."

   "What?" The old lady didn't understand.

   "Grandmother promised me to reject Ling cousin's marriage with Gu Changbo's son, then I only need 600,000 taels of silver, and everything else is filial to you."

  I want 800,000 taels, and the old lady said that I will give 500,000 taels first, and the remaining 300,000 taels may be delayed indefinitely.

   First 800,000 taels, and then lowered to 600,000. It is not a big problem to get them all, and it can solve Duan Yunling's troubles.

  And her goal from the beginning was to get back 60% of Kou Qingqing's family wealth, which is an amount that will make the old lady feel bad but not go crazy.

   "I promise!" Before the old lady could speak, Duan Shaoqing readily agreed.
