Spare my life! The princess can make the villains read each other's minds
Chapter 96 Taking Away the Dowry
However, even Old Lady Tian, Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao felt that the price was acceptable for a medicine with such a powerful effect.
Such a good medicine that can bring old Mrs. Tian back to life is really rare!
Not to mention two thousand taels per pill, even if it was ten thousand taels per pill, there would be many people who would buy it without blinking an eye.
Old Mrs. Tian held Tian Ruomo's hand, her eyes filled with tears.
"Momo, I never thought that you would use such an expensive medicine to save the life of an old woman like me!"
Tian Ruomo shook her head. "No matter how expensive it is, it is not as valuable as grandma's health and life. Grandma is the most important relative to me in this world!"
"I must ensure that my grandmother lives a long and healthy life, and that she is safe and sound. Any harm to her is not allowed!"
When saying this, Tian Rumo's gaze swept across Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao as if inadvertently, and a cold light flashed in the corner of her eyes.
This made Xue Mei, who met Tian Rumo's gaze, shudder in her heart.
Did Tian Rumo discover something?
impossible!
Old Mrs. Tian showed no signs of poisoning, so there was no way Tian Rumo would notice anything!
Old Mrs. Tian's eyes were red, her face full of love, "It's really worth it that grandma loves you so much, Momo is so filial!"
"Grandmother can't let Momo spend so much money. Originally, Grandmother was going to give Momo a dowry of 50,000 taels, plus your mother's dowry is also 50,000 taels!"
"A total of one hundred thousand taels. Because your father was not happy with you marrying into the Qi Wang Mansion, he did not give you any dowry. At that time, I had a big quarrel with him because of this matter."
"Now, no matter what, this 100,000 taels of dowry will be given to you!"
Hearing what Old Lady Tian said, Xue Mei was startled and said quickly, "Old Lady, we have to talk to the master about this first and get his consent..."
"Shut up!"
Old Madam Tian interrupted Xue Mei and said, "In the Tian Guogong Mansion, you have no right to interrupt me when I am speaking!"
"Do you have the key to the warehouse?"
Xue Mei wanted to speak, but Mrs. Tian's face had darkened. "Xue Mei, do you really want to be the mistress of Duke Tian's mansion?"
"If you want, take the key to open the door of the storehouse, take out 100,000 taels, and give it to Momo as a dowry."
"Otherwise, I'll have to change my mind again and keep you waiting for a while longer!"
Xue Mei still had her everlasting smile on her face, but an uncontrollable rage was already welling up in her heart.
[This damn old woman threatened me with the position of mistress and asked me to give Tian Ruomo 100,000 taels of silver! ]
[I began to feel lucky that you didn't die today and can continue to live! ]
[Sooner or later, I will let you know that you are nothing in front of me! ]
She still had that signature smile on her face, and spoke in a steady and calm manner, without being impatient or anxious.
"Madam, the master won't agree. He wants to use the money in the treasury for..."
"Xue Mei!"
Old Mrs. Tian interrupted Xue Mei again and said unkindly, "You really want to go against me, don't you?"
Xue Mei quickly stood up, then fell to her knees with a plop.
“Xue Mei doesn’t dare!”
Old Madam Tian snorted coldly, "If you don't dare, then what are you waiting for?"
Xue Mei explained, "Although there is enough silver in the warehouse, there is no silver note. One hundred thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. It would take four or five ox carts to carry it away!"
"We only have two ox carts for transporting goods in our mansion, so we need to hire three more. We also need to count the manpower in the warehouse!"
"More importantly, if we want to transport 100,000 taels of silver, we need to find someone to protect it, right?"
"Our family's guards are weak, only enough to protect the safety of the mansion. If we send them out and bandits come to our house, what should we do?"
"If the old lady wants to give Momo a dowry, that's fine. Don't be too hasty. Just take it step by step!"
Xue Mei wanted to delay it for a while, but Tian Wu would definitely object when he came back. By then, most of the silver in the warehouse would be transferred out, and the matter would be delayed forever.
Tian Rumo had been listening to her inner voice. When she heard her calling Old Madam Tian a dead old woman, Tian Rumo was already unhappy.
At this moment, knowing what she was thinking, he smiled faintly, "Isn't this simple?"
"I brought more than a hundred guards from Prince Qi's palace. The safety of the silver will not be a problem at all."
"Since it's my dowry, I won't be polite!"
Xue Mei and Tian Ruojiao's faces changed. They didn't expect that Tian Rumo would have the nerve to take it. They didn't even push it away politely.
Tian Ruomo looked at Old Lady Tian, "Grandma, then I will take the silver away?"
Old Mrs. Tian smiled lovingly and nodded repeatedly, "Take it away, take it away. That's your dowry. Just go to the storehouse and get it."
"With so many guards protecting us, even if we send 100,000 taels of silver to the edge of the sky, no one would dare to attack us, let alone in the capital."
"I know exactly what Xue Mei is planning. She is just waiting for Tian Wu to come back and cause trouble for me. Then she will delay the payment as much as possible and refuse to give it to me!"
"That's great, hurry up and get someone to take it away!"
After her thoughts were exposed, Xue Mei's smile became somewhat awkward.
Tian Rumo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. It turned out that old ginger is more experienced. Old Mrs. Tian knew Xue Mei very well and could directly see what she was thinking.
"Okay, thanks grandma!"
Tian Ruomo turned to look at Chunxiao, "Go out and hire five ox carts, take fifty guards, go to the warehouse of Duke Tian's mansion, and bring my dowry back to the palace."
"By the way, take Xiaomei out for a walk. She's quite bored!"
Xiaomei had been lying at Tian Rumo's feet, feeling bored and sleepy, when she suddenly heard Tian Rumo's words through her mind.
[Go to the warehouse of Duke Tian's Mansion with Chunxiao to see how much inventory the Mansion has left! ]
Xiao Mei was immediately alert and meowed, "Yes, Master!"
She jumped lightly onto Chunxiao's shoulder and squatted, stretched out her cat paws, meowed, and commanded Chunxiao, "Let's go!"
Although Chunxiao couldn't understand its language, she knew from their recent interactions that it was a spiritual cat and she liked it very much.
Just by looking at its appearance, you can tell it means to walk.
She smiled, which was rare for her. "Okay, I'll take Xiaomei to move the silver!"
Watching them leave, Mrs. Tian smiled and said, "What a cute fat cat!"
Tian Rumo agreed with a smile, thinking to herself that it was a good thing that Xiaomei didn't hear it, otherwise, it would have visited the kitchen of Duke Tian's mansion.
Xue Mei was kneeling there, not daring to stand up without Mrs. Tian's permission. She had no chance to ask anyone to notify Tian Wu. She felt as if a piece of flesh was dug out of her heart and was extremely painful.
One hundred thousand taels of silver is at least two years' income for the Tian Mansion. This damn old woman is too generous to Tian Rumo.
