The daughter of the prime minister died tragically and was reborn to kill people everywhere
Chapter 83: Open Calculation
"I'll find a storyteller to help you write it, and by the way, I'll help you promote it in all the major restaurants and teahouses."
Mu Yunyao had an expression that said, "If I can say it, I can do it," which really frightened the two of them.
Mu Junsheng even uttered two words through gritted teeth.
"You, dare."
Every word he said seemed to tear her apart alive.
Don’t they know whether they dare or not?
Mu Yunyao didn't take him seriously at all. She only needed to deal with one person here.
She turned to face Mu Jinnian and said with a serious look in her eyes that brooked no room for rebuttal.
"Prime Minister, is it more important to hurt Mu Junsheng's reputation or to hurt the foundation of the Prime Minister's Mansion?
If he were to write this manifesto, he, Mu Junsheng, might be laughed at for a while after today.
But when others talk about it again in the future, he is still a real man who dares to do and take responsibility and is open and honest.
If he hides his head and shows his tail, not only will the Li family not let him go, but how do you think others will view him?"
Every word Mu Yunyao said struck Mu Jinnian's heart like a proverb.
Although, he felt that Mu Junsheng might have to face more than just being laughed at, but the future of the Mu family was nothing compared to his, Mu Junsheng's, face.
Besides, this is indeed the best solution at the moment.
It’s not that the Mu family can’t afford to offend the Li family, but what Mu Jinnian wants to do cannot go wrong at this time.
Seeing that Mu Jinnian seemed to be wavering, Mu Junsheng quickly spoke out to stop him.
"Father, don't listen to her. She can't really mean good to me."
Mu Junsheng almost screamed.
Mu Yunyao caught the loophole in his words, put on a sarcastic smile and asked back.
"Why not? Aren't you my eldest brother from the same mother? What's wrong with me considering you?"
"This……"
Mu Junsheng was speechless because of her. It was one thing to know some things in one's heart, but one absolutely could not say them out loud.
Mu Jinnian suddenly felt a little disappointed with Mu Junsheng. Just a few words could make him lose his composure. He was indeed too young.
Seeing that Mu Junsheng was speechless, Mu Yunyao did not feel happy at all.
She thought she had already figured out some things, and suddenly she didn't want to argue with him anymore, so she made the decision directly.
"Okay, it's settled. You can either write it or I'll have someone write it for you. It's up to you.
Also, you have to pay the compensation to the Li family yourself.
Bring me the silver later."
After Mu Yunyao finished speaking, she did not give others a chance to refute and turned to leave the study.
But in the study, Mu Jinnian kept thinking about what she had just said.
A faint melancholy suddenly arose in my heart, and I thought, how nice it would be if she were a boy.
With this plan and this method, the Mu family will surely be able to make further progress in her hands.
Looking at Mu Junsheng again, there was a hint of disappointment in Mu Jinnian's eyes.
Although, he is not bad, but his vision is still inferior to Mu Yunyao.
I wonder what you have learned from me during these years of traveling?
Or is this really the root problem?
After all, she was raised by a concubine, and is still far from being a real legitimate child.
If that child were still alive, how brilliant and talented he would be now.
Mu Yunyao returned to Guiyun Courtyard and asked someone to call the accountant over.
"Mr. Cui, how much money is left in the Xiangfu account?"
Cui Hu is from the old lady's family and has been working as an accountant in the Mu family for more than 20 years. It is no exaggeration to say that he is the most trusted person by Mu Jinnian.
To be honest, Mu Yunyao still has to call him cousin uncle.
However, when working in the mansion, it is not the same. Cui Hu greeted Mu Yunyao first.
"Miss, there is less than 10,000 taels of silver in the mansion's account."
He was able to live peacefully in the prime minister's mansion for so many years, and no one touched him even after the head of the family changed several times. It was not just because of the old lady's relationship.
More importantly, he is knowledgeable and knows who can be offended and who cannot be offended.
Just like now, Mu Yunyao is in charge, and Cui Hu will tell her everything she asks.
When Mu Yunyao heard that there were less than 10,000 taels of silver, she sighed in her heart, "How poor."
Then he said to Mr. Cui, "You have heard about what happened in the mansion. Can Mr. Cui raise 50,000 taels of silver for me within three days?"
Mu Yunyao didn't expect that Mu Junsheng would really send her money.
I'm afraid she will have to find a way to get the money. Based on her understanding of the Mu family and how shameless they are, they will definitely find a way to shirk their responsibility. If they can't come up with the money, she, the one who made the promise, will have to fulfill it.
It would be better to get the silver first before they react.
Cui Hu had his head lowered, but when Mu Yunyao said this, he subconsciously looked up.
He found that Mu Yunyao was looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze, and his heart tightened immediately. After a while, he took out an account book from his sleeve and handed it over.
He didn't say a word the whole time.
Mu Yunyao motioned Qingyun to take it. She flipped through it casually but her pupils suddenly dilated.
"How dare Shen Qianjiao do such a thing? Does the Prime Minister know?"
"I don't know."
Cui Hu kept his head down the whole time, making it impossible to see his expression.
Mu Yunyao felt a little confused, wondering why he would tell her such an important thing.
Or is it that every time the head of the prime minister's backyard changes, he will use the leverage over the previous head to surrender?
But Mu Yunyao didn't think that was the case when she saw his attitude. If it was really as she guessed, he shouldn't be like this at this moment.
But no matter what, the account book given by Mr. Cui is of great use to her.
"Mr. Cui, is there anything I can ask for?"
"I am old, and I would like to ask the young lady for a favor, so that I can return to my hometown to retire."
He had already seen that this young lady and the prime minister were not on the same page.
I'm afraid that this prime minister's mansion will be destroyed sooner or later. The eldest lady saved their family in the past, but he didn't have the courage to help the eldest lady go against the prime minister.
I don't want to get involved in these right and wrongs. Maybe staying away from them is the best outcome.
After hearing what he said, Mu Yunyao did not embarrass him.
"Mr. Cui is indeed old enough to enjoy the company of his grandchildren. How about this, Mr. Cui, please help me do one more thing, and then I will give you my mother's 50-acre farm in the suburbs of Beijing, plus 500 taels of silver. How about that?"
Cui Hu's excuse of returning home was naturally just an excuse. He had some money on hand and had already bought a house in the capital, where his whole family lived.
My son also has a business outside. He doesn’t make a lot of money, but it’s enough for the family to live on.
In addition, he is old, so it is impossible for him to travel thousands of miles back to a strange place where he is unfamiliar with the place.
Mu Yunyao's proposal really moved him.
"What do you want me to do, young lady? I dare not do anything against the law."
"Don't worry, it's not a big deal. It's just that the eldest son needs money to cancel the engagement. Now there is not enough cash in the account. Who in the mansion will withdraw the money? Send someone to tell me.
In addition, please help me calculate how much cash I can get from the farms and shops in the mansion, and sell them as soon as possible."
