As soon as the beautiful abandoned girl opened her eyes, she counterattacked with her medical skills

Chapter 203 Raising Money
Early the next morning, all the female members of the Hua family went to the front hall and sat on both sides.

Hua Tang and Shi sat at the top, with Hua Jin beside them. No one knew what had been said before, but all the concubines looked unhappy.

The Third Aunt and Hua Yun were still dressed appropriately, pretending to be calm on their faces, but their clenched fists revealed the anger in their hearts at the moment.

There was disdain on the Second Aunt's face, while Hua Ying's expression became more expressive. She swayed her body from time to time, with a hint of sarcasm at the corner of her mouth.

Sixth Aunt lowered her head, not knowing what she was thinking.

The fourth concubine held Buddhist beads in her hand, as calm as a great monk.

Hua Jin stood beside Shi, observing everyone's expressions from time to time.

The atmosphere seemed very depressing.

Hua Jianli walked closer, feeling suspicious. What just happened?
As soon as she saw Hua Jianli, Hua Jin's face became gloomy. She hated Hua Jianli so much. Why did she win Qin Changge's favor? Why was she so different from others?

"Father, Madam, Xiaoqi is late!" She said with a smile. She never took the initiative to cause trouble. If the fire burned herself, she would have her own way to put it out.

"Xiao Qi is busy, it's good that you can come, please sit down!"

Hua Jianli narrowed her eyes. There was a round stool placed where she should sit. It seemed that what Shi wanted to say was not simple.

"Uh... I won't sit down. I still have some things to deal with at the Dali Temple today. Xiao Qi still has to rush over there."

"It won't take up much of your time." Hua Jin said coldly.

"Please sit down!" Hua Tang said forcefully.

He had never seen through his daughter. Now, she has made a name for herself in the Dali Temple with her clever brain, and he believes that she will achieve great things in the future.

Maybe he could focus on training him.

Since the Prime Minister's father said so, Hua Jianli had no choice but to see what Shi was up to.

"Does anyone here have any objection to the proposal just now?"

The Sixth Aunt raised her head at this time and said, "Master, I have some money on hand. If Madam doesn't mind, you can use it to help out in an emergency."

Her words were like a slap in the face to Shi.

Everyone knew what the Sixth Aunt did before she entered the mansion, and Shi was also uncomfortable using such dirty money.

Hua Jianli frowned. What did that mean? What did Shi want the aunt's money for?
Before I could figure it out, I heard the Second Aunt also speak, "Master, you know, my brother has some money left with me, but that is all the merits he earned with his life. When he comes back, I will return it all to him. After all, he is not a child anymore, and an elder sister is like a mother. I also want to plan his lifelong affairs for him..."

This made sense. Wang Mang was already in his thirties, so it was understandable that the second aunt saved money for him.

The Third Aunt stepped forward slowly and said, "Master, I do have some spare money, but not much, about a hundred taels. I'm afraid this money won't be of much use, and it's far from a million taels of gold..."

Shi glanced at her and said, "One hundred taels, are you giving money to a beggar?"

Speaking of one million taels of gold, Hua Jianli understood.

Shi wanted to raise money for Princess Ziyang.

But Mr. Shi had a falling out with his mother and daughter, and they couldn't come up with so much money, so they set their sights on the concubines.

broken!

Judging from Shi's personality, would she set her sights on herself? Yesterday, the master of the Shi family stuffed 500,000 silver notes into her hands in public.

I didn't expect that someone would remember me so soon.

As she was complaining in her heart, she noticed several gazes cast at her. As expected, what you fear will come true.

Shi had a fake smile on her face, "Xiao Qi, you said before that we treated you well, you will repay us tenfold, a hundredfold, a thousandfold, right?" Hua Jianli sighed. She did say that, but wasn't what she had repaid them during this period enough to make them suffer?

It looks like she'll have to place a big bet.

"Madam means..." She pretended to be stupid.

Hua Tang coughed lightly and said, "Xiao Qi, someone from Anyang Palace has come. They have given us a deadline. We must hand over a million in gold before 3 p.m. tomorrow, otherwise they will send your elder sister to jail..."

What Huatang didn't say was that all the eighteen kinds of punishments that were not used last time would be used one by one.

"You also know that your grandfather Shi and your mother have some... misunderstandings. The money has not yet arrived, so your mother wanted to borrow some from you first and return it double in the future..."

At this point, Hua Tang simply wanted to slap the mother and daughter away. They were not able to do anything helpful, but always caused trouble. All the gold in their mouths was wasted.

That's it!

Hua Jianli understood, but when it came to double repayment, she didn't believe it. Not to mention repayment, it was still unclear whether she could get the principal back. That could be determined by looking at the attitudes of the other concubines.

"Yes, as a sister, Xiaoqi should naturally do her part..." Hua Jianli added.

Hua Jin rolled her eyes at her and said, "You're smart."

Unexpectedly, Hua Jianli's next words made her so angry that she had a heart attack.

"Then today, when Xiaoqi goes to the Dali Temple, she will discuss with Lord Qin and ask him to pay me this month's salary in advance. When the time comes, Xiaoqi will give it all to you to help you through this difficult time." Hua Jianli clenched his fists, his eyes determined, as if he was willing to go through fire and water for his elder sister.

The Sixth Aunt sighed, "Seventh Miss is really kind and righteous, but I wonder how much Seventh Miss can give?"

Ever since Hua Jianli discovered her affair with Zhang Sheng last time, Sixth Aunt had reached some kind of consensus with Hua Jianli in private.

In this situation, she has to take care of Hua Jianli.

Hua Jianli thought for a moment, "Master Qin said before that my salary is two taels of silver per month!"

She made a two gesture.

Two taels!

Two taels?

Two...two.

Everyone couldn't help laughing. It turned out that she had never seen the world. Two taels of silver was a huge sum of money in her eyes.

The Sixth Aunt continued, "Seventh Miss, do you know the difference between a million gold and two taels of silver?"

Hua Jianli echoed her, "How much is the difference? Your Excellency said that two taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink well for a month?"

"It is admirable that Miss Seven has this heart."

"Hua Jianli!" Hua Jin roared. It was too insulting. Two taels? How could she say that?

Hua Jianli cried out, and saw Hua Jin was about to explode, "Big sister, you don't have to be moved, this is what Xiao Qi should do."

According to Hua Jianli's understanding of Shi, Shi owns quite a few farms and shops, and has the Shi family as their backing, so it shouldn't be too far for them to come up with one million taels of gold.

She insisted on asking the concubines and young ladies for money. Was she trying to drag everyone down to hell with her?

"Hua Jianli, don't play dumb with me!" Her attitude made Shi completely furious. "My father gave you a stack of banknotes last time. Now that your elder sister is in trouble, shouldn't you take it out?"

Hua Jin said this as a matter of course, thinking that they, mother and daughter, had the final say in the family.

But Hua Jianli is not used to it...
