The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

Chapter 202 Hesitation

Shen Xiuyang choked and held his breath for a long time before he said in disbelief, "You should know that my annual salary is only 1,080 taels of silver! Go to the capital and ask around. Most of the ordinary people in the capital only earn a dozen taels a year! I give you 200,000 taels, and you say I'm poor?"

"Tsk! You're really poor!"

Yunli slowly took out a pearl hairpin from her bosom, on which were two jade-white pearls of uniform color. She casually put it on her hair and showed it to Shen Xiuyan, "How much silver do you think these two pearls are worth?"

Shen Xiuyang's breathing stagnated. He looked at Yunli, then at the pearl hairpin on her head.

He was not someone who didn't know the value of things. He could tell at a glance that these two pearls were South Pearls, and they were first-class eight-treasure pearls. But the person behind this was too willing to spend so much, wasn't he?

The eight treasures that cannot be bought with three thousand taels of silver are given to your own daughter, and two of them at once?

But he immediately laughed, "Good! You are worthy of being my daughter, Shen Xiuyang. You are the one who will pluck a feather from the passing goose! This man has met his nemesis when he met you! No wonder the lion didn't even look down on 200,000 taels of silver!"

This guy was overthinking and thought that other people had spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on his daughter.

I have to say this is a beautiful misunderstanding.

"Two hundred thousand is indeed all the cash I can take out at the moment. You must have heard that my father loves antiques and calligraphy and paintings. If I give you all of them, I can barely get a discount of more than two million silver. Why don't you ask that person if he is willing?"

Shen Xiuyang asked with a smile.

Although Yunli didn't show it on the outside, he was quite shocked on the inside.

When she said he was poor before, she was deliberately making fun of him! But she never expected that Shen Xiuyang, the second son of a fourth-rank official in the family of the left prime minister, would have a private property of 2.2 million taels!

It's too exaggerated!

Ninety percent of the world's resources are in the hands of the aristocratic families, and this is no joke.

"These two million two hundred thousand taels, are they all your private property?"

Yunli asked uncertainly.

"Don't worry, I will be able to get money in the future! At least before you get married, I will prepare your share of dowry for you!"

Shen Xiuyang patted his chest and said proudly.

Yunli smiled and didn't take it seriously.

Marriage is a big event in the family, so naturally the money should be paid by the public. How could it be possible for the second son to pay for it himself?

"Since you are so sincere, I will definitely do my best to speak well of you and try to make them stop using this matter to criticize you after they take your 2.2 million taels."

Yunli promised casually.

"Okay! Then I'll send someone back right now to clean up your yard!" Shen Xiuyang clapped his hands happily and quickly ordered his attendant to come in.

"Not urgent."

Yunli stopped him and asked with a smile, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. Let's make things clear now to avoid confusion in the future. Shen Qingzhu, how do you plan to deal with it?"

Shen Xiuyang's smile froze and his face looked a little dejected.

He originally thought that he could just let the matter go today, and then slowly explain the key points to his daughter later. She would naturally understand the good intentions of her family.

But we have just met and haven't developed any feelings for each other yet. If I tell my daughter these things rashly, I'm afraid it will drive her apart.

"Child, whether you believe it or not, you are far better than Qingzhu in your father's heart. But things are not as simple as you think. Shen Qingzhu's affairs are not only the affairs of our Shen family, but also involve the palace."

Shen Xiuyang sighed, thought about what he wanted to say, and finally changed his words, "I will tell you about these things slowly in the future. Just remember one thing, don't be hostile to Shen Qingzhu. What happened back then...she was just an innocent child."

Innocent child?

No, she is not an innocent child, she is original sin.

But there was no need for Yunli to say these words to the man in front of her.

She asked these questions just to confirm the attitude of this cheap father so that she would know how to deal with this family in the future.

It's good like this now. She doesn't have to feel any psychological burden when she cheats the Shen family.

"I understand."

Yunli replied calmly, "You don't need to prepare a yard for me yet, but prepare the money first. Also, whether you plan to take me in as an adopted daughter or as your own daughter, please tell me the rules. I will return home after everything is confirmed."

"Then where do you live?"

Shen Xiuyang said anxiously.

Yunli stretched out a slender hand directly, with the palm facing up, in front of Shen Xiuyang.

Shen Xiuyang was a little confused, and Yunli said impatiently, "Father, living outside requires money. You don't have no money on you, do you?"

"oh oh!"

As an adult man, how could Shen Xiuyang not carry any silver with him?

He took out two hundred-liang silver notes from his pocket and handed them over, saying, "This happened suddenly, and I only have these silver notes on me..."

Thinking of the girl's words "father", he felt energetic again and took off the jade pendant from his waist. "This is a gift from your father! It's not convenient for you to live outside. How about I send two girls to follow you first?"

"That's not necessary. I live in the second house from the left in Changlefang. After you have discussed it with your family, just come to my house and let me know. Rice is expensive in the capital, so don't make me wait too long."

After saying this with a smile, Yunli opened the door and left. The guards and attendants did not dare to stop her, so they could only watch her stagger away.

Shen Xiuyang sighed and waved his hand to signal his followers not to chase after him. Then he thought of his wife who was pretending to be unconscious, and his head started to hurt again.

What can you do? Just pamper your own wife!

When Shen Xiuyang arrived at the meditation room where Xu was resting, before he even entered the door, he heard sobbing sounds from inside, and his heart couldn't help but soften a little.

"Husband!"

When the confused and helpless Xu saw Shen Xiuyang, she rushed over and threw herself into his arms as if she had found a life-saving straw, and began to cry.

"Don't panic, I'm here for everything."

Shen Xiuyang patted Xu's back, helped her walk slowly back to the bed and sat down, "Madam, what's going on? You have to tell me first, then I can know how to remedy it!"

Xu sobbed and thought for a while before gritting her teeth and saying, "My husband, it's all that bitch's fault! You know that I suddenly lost my baby when I passed by there and had a premature birth! But what we didn't know was that the audacious woman, relying on the fact that she gave birth earlier than me and had recovered some strength, actually dared to switch our children!"

Shen Xiuyang's heart sank to the bottom.

So, when did Xu know about this? Why didn't she tell him?
