Mother, I’ll help you carry it.
By the time that Shen Ying had rushed to the warehouse, Wen Tian, Mo Xian and the others had already arrived and were currently opening its doors.
Shen Ying, who, at the time, was still replaying Mother Lin’s words over and over in his mind, couldn’t help but glance at the Lord a few more times. And when he saw that his Master’s gaze had been fixed in Yu Qingluo, he felt his heart take a leap in his chest.
Could it be that Mother Lin was right and the Lord really… had those kinds of thoughts about Miss Yu?
But Miss Yu had a son. Th-this… the Lord for sure can’t get together with her! If nothing else, those two elders above would never agree to it. (TL: elders above = his parents or maybe grandparents)
Although the Lord might not listen to them, it was still hard to guarantee that they wouldn’t act against Miss Yu.
Having such a picture in his mind, Shen Ying felt like a knot was being formed in his brain as millions of thoughts rushed through his head, causing him to have all kinds of worries.
The sound of the door being unlocked pulled Shen Ying back from his thoughts. He took a deep breath and slowly set all those thoughts aside, following the Lord inside the building.
As a matter of fact, there weren’t a lot of things inside the warehouse in this courtyard. No, it was more correct to say that none of the warehouses in Ye Xiudu’s courtyards appeared to hold a large number of goods on the surface.
But when compared with ordinary people, it could still be considered to be a lot.
However, this courtyard, which was normally empty, was unexpectedly filled to the brim with many boxes right now, stacked one upon the other, with no room left to move.
Not only Shen Ying, but even Yu Qingluo couldn’t help but be surprised by the sight.
Sure enough… very rich.
Nannan cheered when he looked at the content of an open box filled with silver, immediately springing forward as he saw the riches. His tender and soft cheeks tinged in pink with excitement as he exclaimed nonstop.
These silvers… could they be the result of those silver tickets that the Lord asked Mo Xian to exchange?
Shen Ying suddenly understood the Lord’s idea. He had said it before, just how could the Lord let Miss Yu leave so easily? It was because he was originally expecting her at this place.
Ye Xiudu shot a glance at the warehouse then turned his head towards Yu Qingluo, saying in a low tone: “There is 12 million taels worth of silver and gold in here. Miss Yu can check it out by yourself. And as for the rest, those three million… I apologize. There weren’t enough resources available, so I can only give them to you in silver tickets. I hope that Miss Yu won’t dislike it. Alright, the treatment fee is all in here, Miss Yu can carry it all away.”
Yu Qingluo gritted her teeth, but the corners of her mouth curled into a smile as the next words came out of her mouth one by one, in between her teeth: “I wouldn’t mind if you exchanged all of this into silver tickets for me.”
“That wouldn’t be good. Silver tickets cannot be compared to actual hard money. In fact, if it wasn’t this soon and the private bank wasn’t closed already, I was planning on having these three million silver worth in tickets exchanged as well for Miss Yu.” Ye Xiudu couldn’t help but have his lips curl into a smile. Every time he saw her turn silent in front of him, he felt his mood inexplicably become good.
“He he.” Yu Qingluo laughed, furious. Then proceeded to grab the silver tickets in her hand, slowly saying: “I will take these three million in tickets first. And then, tomorrow, I’ll once again come to take the money. All these silver, I won’t take them with me and I also don’t want any more payment. Nannan, let’s go.”
Nannan, who was still lying on the silver, enjoying the feeling of suddenly becoming a rich man, jumped up, standing.
What did mother just say, that she didn’t want all this money?!
Did mother turn stupid? With this muuuuuuuuch silver, just how much could he eat? Mother really had no foresight.
That isn’t right. Mother didn’t want it but he definitely did!
Nannan gave Yu Qingluo a look and noticed that her eyes weren’t focused on him, and then he took a look at the others and saw that their sights weren’t on him. After letting out a relieved sigh, he used this opportunity to grab a couple of pieces of silver in front of him and put them in his pockets.
However, the little bag he carried on his body was originally tailor-made for his measurements. Even if it was a tad bigger it wouldn’t be enough for his greed, so after putting in just a couple of pieces, it couldn’t fit any more silver inside.
Nannan was feeling very reluctant seeing that there were these many boxes left. After giving it a thought, he simply took out his outer vest and started putting all the silver on it.
Unfortunately, his clothes were a bit small, so he couldn’t fit much more inside of them.
He hesitated for a while before taking his other shirt to continue loading the silver inside.
Excited, Nannan packed the silvers joyously as his entire body was covered with sweat. Ye Xiudu on the other side was listening to Yu Qingluo’s words and couldn’t help but laugh in response. Shaking his head in a regretful manner he said: “Miss Yu, this moment right now is your only opportunity to take this money. The people in this courtyard and I will leave tomorrow morning. I really have no way of redeeming the silver tickets and wait for you to return. Therefore, you can only take the silver now, otherwise…”
“Do you want to renege on your debt?” She knew that things weren’t as simple as they seemed on the surface.
She was already feeling bewildered when this man suddenly said so straightforwardly that he would let her leave. And now, it turned out that such a big problem popped up.
Ye Xiudu shook his head: “How could this be regarded reneging on a debt? The silver, I have already put it all in front of you, not even a cooper less than the fee agreed. I’m not stopping Miss Yu from taking it. No matter how you want to handle it, it’s all in Miss Yu’s hands now. This is me fulfilling my promise, isn’t it?”
Yu Qingluo turned her head to see all the silver in front of her and felt bad inside.
This much silver, how could she take it all with her? Don’t even mention the fact that she still hasn’t found a place to stay. Even if she had found one, she would still have to hire someone to transport all the money. And these were all real silver and gold taels.
If she tried to transport it, by the time some thieves came forward to steal it she would definitely be thrown into the spotlight and news about the person who was supposed to have died 6 years ago suddenly reappearing in the Capital would be spread all over.
Whether it was Yu Zuolin’s or the Yu (玉 – her surname) family’s people, or even those large families… they would all show up at her doorstep.
But if she let go of all this money… then all the time that she spent accompanying him would all be in vain, wouldn’t it?
Ye Xiudu. You are exceptional, this move was really ruthless!
“Miss Yu, have you thought about it? Actually, I won’t be forcing you. If you really want to trade it all into silver tickets, you can. But I’ll have to trouble Miss Yu to stay with me for a few more days until I have free time. And then, at that time, I’ll handle it to you personally.”
Ye Xiudu took a step back since knew well that he couldn’t push this woman too hard. Otherwise, if she really threw a tantrum and decided to dismiss everything. Then wouldn’t he be the one at a loss?
Yu Qingluo felt her head ache, as she was still thinking about how to deal with the silver.
Suddenly, a clear and gasping voice sounded from the corner of the room: “Mother, I have already packed up. I can carry these silvers for you, let’s go.”
So much money, he grabbed so much money!
Nannan had a bag on his left hand and another on his right, and also two bags pilled near his feet. All of them were made from his own clothes.
And he was completely naked except for his underpants.
