Chapter 503: 9% Donated
Yun Yi, who was reading Zhou Jinghan's letters at home, sneezed violently, raised her hand to rub her nose, guessing that some reckless person was plotting against her again.
"Young Miss, this hairpin is so beautiful." Yun Zi exclaimed as she looked at the jade hairpin in the box.
This was sent along with the letter.
Yunyi put away the letter she had finished reading, then took the hairpin, a smile playing on her lips.
The hairpin was carved from a single piece of white jade, but there was a patch of light purple variegation on the jade, which was cleverly carved into the shape of a hibiscus flower, with a small pink pearl inlaid in the stamen.
“It’s obvious that Seventh Master put a lot of effort into this.” Yunlu leaned over for a look.
"Hmm, not bad." Yunyi nodded. "When you look for men in the future, you must find men who are sincere."
Actually, she wouldn't have felt anything even if she didn't receive a gift, but she was naturally happy to receive one.
Because of the distance, Zhou Jinghan was worried that he wouldn't be able to make it in time, so he sent the gift over ahead of schedule.
"What are you saying, Miss? I have no intention of finding a man." Yun Zi blushed. "Let A-Lu find one."
“I’ll look for someone, but it depends on fate and character.” Yunlu wasn’t coy at all.
"You are shameless."
“What’s shameful about this?” Yunlu raised an eyebrow slightly. “Men should marry when they are of age and women should marry when they are of age. We are even more fortunate to follow Miss. There will be no restrictions. If we can find a loyal one, wouldn’t it be better to serve Miss together? In the future, if we have children, they can also follow the young master.”
Yunyi sighed. This girl probably never thought about being the master herself. All she ever thought about was her master. But she could understand it. Most people thought the same way. It was determined by the current state of society.
Moreover, even if law-abiding citizens are able to take charge of their own affairs, they are not necessarily guaranteed a good life. After all, those who are powerful and oppressive can actually find protection by following them.
Yun Zi scratched her head: "What you said seems to make sense."
“That makes a lot of sense, doesn’t it?” Yunlu smiled smugly. “Azi, you should also change your mind.”
"I'll look for a suitable one too."
"Then I'll keep an eye out for you."
"Okay, I'll introduce you to any suitable ones I see."
……
Seeing the two of them suddenly wanting to be each other's matchmakers, Yunyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
The two girls then belatedly realized their embarrassment and blushed.
"Greetings, Your Excellency." Just then, a maid's greeting rang out from outside.
Yunyi suppressed her smile, put the hairpin back into the box, and then got up and left.
Fang Tang strode in, and seeing Yun Yi come out, he unceremoniously reached out his hand: "Give me some silver."
"Father, if you need money, go to the accounting office. Why are you asking me for money?"
"Didn't you ask Chen Guoliang for 600,000 taels of silver?"
"You know all this?"
"With so much silver, how could I not know?"
"But what does this have to do with you?"
"I'm your father, you have so much money, what's wrong with giving me some?"
"Heh." Yun Yi sneered, "What are you saying? My mother has been so good to you, what's wrong with you being nicer to her?"
"you……"
“Father, I do have money, and I can give it to you, but…” Yunyi looked down at her fingers, “Sun Qingli is not dead yet.”
“I’ve already given you the divorce papers as you asked, and I’ve also erected a tombstone for your mother to clear her name. You’ve also agreed to let Sun Qingli stay at the Earl’s mansion until A’duo gets married.” Fang Tang sighed. “Yunyi, I know you have resentment in your heart, but the dead cannot be brought back to life. I was wrong before, but from now on, you are my only child…”
"Father, please don't say such things. I heard that she's about to give birth, and the doctor said it's a boy?"
"Hehe, that doesn't affect you, does it? Besides, having a brother means you can help each other out in the future, right?"
“You’re right, but…” Yunyi looked at Fangtang, “Are you sure the child in that woman’s belly is yours?”
"What do you mean?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually." Yunyi smiled. "Just listen to whatever you want."
"You..." Fang Tang was speechless with anger, but he held back for the sake of money. "Yun Yi, if you don't like her, I will never let her get in your way."
Yun Yi laughed, "You'd have to be capable of getting in her way first."
"Father has really run into trouble. He needs two hundred thousand taels of silver. What do you think..."
"Dad, you really dare to ask for that."
"You took 600,000 taels, why can't you give me 200,000 taels?"
"I do not have it."
"how is this possible?"
"You know that I have awakened my ancestral bloodline, so you should also know that anyone who possesses mystical arts will reveal heavenly secrets, which will incur divine punishment. Widows, widowers, orphans, the lonely, and the disabled will all be one of these things. Therefore, any money earned from divination and talismans must be handed over to the ancestral master."
"What?"
"Ninety percent of my money has already been donated."
"Where was it donated?" Fang Tang's voice was shrill.
“Of course, it’s donated to the underworld.” Yunyi pointed to the ground. “I catch ghosts, and this ability was given to me by the King of the Underworld, so naturally I have to pay tribute to him.”
Remember to burn some good food for that old man tonight.
At this moment, the Fengdu Emperor, who was in seclusion, sneezed violently, startling the ghost child serving him so much that he tumbled several times in mid-air.
"I guess that brat is plotting against me again." The Emperor of Fengdu rubbed his nose and then closed his eyes to continue his cultivation.
"How much silver do you have left?" Fang Tang asked, feeling somewhat helpless.
"There are still 60,000 left."
"Give it to me too, I need it for a while."
"Father, this manor has been running a deficit for a long time. It's already quite an achievement to keep the entire manor running. Now that I've finally managed to save a little money, you actually want to take it all?"
"I'll give it to you as soon as I have it."
"They say even close brothers should keep clear accounts. I can give you the money, but you'll have to exchange it for something else."
"what do you want?"
"The shop my mother started back then."
"impossible."
Yunyi didn't argue, she just looked at the other person calmly.
After a long while, Fang Tang finally couldn't hold back any longer, but he still resorted to playing the victim: "The situation of the Earl's Mansion has not been good these past few years..."
"Dad, my mother has only been gone for a little over a year, where did all these years come from?" Yunyi rolled her eyes. At least put some effort into making up a lie.
"Hehe, things haven't been good at home this past year. We've sold off all those shops one by one, leaving only two. If we give these two to you, then the manor..."
"You've ruined seven or eight shops in just one year! Dad, what have you been eating and drinking all year?"
"Hehe." Fang Tang could only manage a dry laugh.
"Two shops it is, I'll take the loss, five thousand taels of silver for two shops."
