Donate 300,000 yuan to invite the God of War to marry, and I ask for a divorce

"Xuan Ting, how much money did you spend? It's rare for you to be generous, you have to let us know so that we can remember your kindness." Third sister-in-law Xie Ling still spoke in a joking tone.

In fact, she didn't believe it.

Based on her understanding of Shi Xuanting, if she really paid silver, even one or two taels, she would have shouted it out. This time she only said that she bought it herself, but never mentioned how much silver she spent, which was very unusual.

Shi Xuanting: "..."

She looked at Wan Zhou first, and then looked at Xie Ling in a reproachful manner: "Third sister-in-law, do you mean you don't believe it? Fourth sister-in-law is still here, why don't you ask her?"

After she finished speaking, she raised her eyelids and looked at Wan Zhou, waiting to see what Wan Zhou would say. Anyway, no matter what Wan Zhou said, she felt that she had a countermeasure.

Xie Ling really looked at Wan Zhou: "Then Wan Zhou, tell me."

Wan Zhou thought to himself, Third sister-in-law, you are really my mouthpiece.

Didn’t Xie Ling’s words just hit her right in the face?

Wan Zhou smiled at Xie Ling: "Third sister-in-law, you should really thank Fifth Brother's wife this time. She really spent a lot."

Xie Ling's eyelids twitched. A lot? She was even less convinced? The Shi Xuanting she knew would never do such a thing as paying out of her own pocket to benefit others, even if she was reborn.

In fact, Shi Xuanting's eyelids twitched.

As expected, Gu Wanzhou praised her again and again, and he must have something to ask of her.

"So how much is it?" Xie Ling asked.

By observing Shi Xuanting's expression, she became more certain of her initial judgment that Shi Xuanting definitely did not give the money.

Even though she clearly didn't give it to him, Wan Zhou kept saying that she had. She wanted to know what was going on between them.

Wan Zhou could sense Xie Ling's intention to sabotage Shi Xuanting. In fact, it was not difficult to understand, among the sisters-in-law, there were few who were not at odds with each other.

Wan Zhou said calmly: "Third sister-in-law, actually I haven't paid yet."

"Oh...!" Xie Ling looked at Shi Xuanting with an expression as if to say, "So that's how it is. I knew it would be like this."

The others had similar expressions.

Shi Xuanting immediately frowned and looked at Wan Zhou: "Fourth sister-in-law, please explain clearly, am I the one who doesn't pay?"

"I haven't finished yet." Wan Zhou said leisurely, "Don't blame my fifth sister-in-law. We agreed yesterday that she would pay me whatever I actually paid for the charcoal. Since I didn't buy the charcoal yesterday, she naturally didn't pay."

"Oh..., so that's the case, I understand." Xie Ling dragged out the last syllable, and the meaning was more obvious than the previous "If I had known this would be the case."

As sisters-in-law for several years, Xie Ling immediately guessed Shi Xuanting's little plan, and an incomprehensible smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

Others didn't say it, but they all felt the same as Xie Ling in their hearts. They all felt that this was Shi Xuanting's style.

Only Madam Yu's heart skipped a beat. She rolled her eyes, thinking about the high price Wan Zhou paid, and suddenly realized that the Fourth Young Master's wife would not ask the Fifth Young Master's wife to pay 2000 taels.

As soon as Nanny Yu came in, she was about to tell Mrs. Wang about Wanzhou's high price for buying charcoal, but because the young ladies kept talking, she didn't have time to do so.

At this time, she didn't care what they said and quickly whispered the matter to Mrs. Wang.

When Mrs. Wang heard this, her pupils suddenly dilated.

100 taels for a barrel of charcoal?

Mrs. Wang, the housekeeper, knew the price of charcoal very clearly. The first-grade charcoal purchased by the Duke's Mansion for the master's use cost 100 taels of silver for 8 catties, and the second-grade charcoal cost 100 taels of silver for 3 catties.

A bag of Wanzhou's charcoal only weighs 40 jin. So one jin of charcoal costs 2 liang and 5 qian of silver. In other words, one jin of Wanzhou's charcoal is almost as expensive as 100 jin of second-grade charcoal.

Even though it was an extraordinary period, Madam Wang still felt that it was ridiculously expensive. The key point was that during this extraordinary period, the Duke's Mansion couldn't buy it, but she could? For a moment, Madam Wang had deep doubts about Wanzhou's charcoal and the price of charcoal.

"Third sister-in-law, you finally believe it now, right?" Shi Xuanting raised her chin, somewhat proud.

"I believe you. You didn't pay a penny."

"It's not that I don't pay. She said so herself. If she can't buy the coal, is it my fault?"

"So what you mean is, if she buys it, you will pay for it?" Xie Ling couldn't stand Shi Xuanting's face of taking advantage of others.

"Say less." Mrs. Wang couldn't help but interrupted the two of them.

But Shi Xuanting fought back, "Of course, as long as she can buy it."

Xie Ling's eyes flashed with sarcasm: Aren't you just so sure that people can't buy it that you dare to brag? !

Mrs. Wang's heart ached when she heard this.

It's over. Shi Xuanting usually never falls, but this time she fell directly into the pit. At the same time, she stared at Wan Zhou with a scrutinizing look.

Wan Zhou had already felt Mrs. Wang's somewhat oppressive gaze, but she didn't care.

He took the bill from Bai Lu and handed it directly to Shi Xuanting: "Fifth brother's wife, it's time for you to prove yourself."

Shi Xuanting looked over suspiciously, but didn't answer and asked, "What do you mean?"

Wan Zhou smiled and said, "I really bought the charcoal. Here is the bill. If you pay it in person, no one will doubt it anymore."

Shi Xuanting still didn't answer, but stood up and looked at Wan Zhou as if she were a stranger: "Fourth sister-in-law, I'm speaking directly, please don't dislike it. As a daughter-in-law, you should contribute to this family unconditionally, but you asked me to pay for your charcoal. I don't care if you pay, but you can't forge a deed to make me pay, right?"

Wan Zhou immediately understood that Shi Xuanting didn't believe it, but she didn't rush: "How can you be sure it's a fake when you didn't even look at it?"

Shi Xuanting snorted coldly and replied, "Even the Duke's Mansion can't buy charcoal, where can you buy it? If you are not a forger, what are you?"

"So, Fifth Brother's wife agreed so readily because she was sure that I couldn't buy charcoal?"

Once these words were spoken, it was as if Shi Xuanting's little plan was exposed, and the Duke's wife's face immediately turned cold.

In her opinion, Wan Zhou was an outsider, and Shi Xuanting's behavior had brought shame to the Duke's Mansion.

"You can't just say you'll buy it. You have to let me see the charcoal you bought, right?" Shi Xuanting didn't believe it at all.

"Of course you can go and see if you want. However, if you don't want to walk, there is an easier way. Madam Yu went there this morning and happened to be unloading the charcoal. She saw the charcoal with her own eyes, and I paid for it with silver."

Shi Xuanting's heart tightened and she immediately looked at Nanny Yu.

"Fifth Young Master's Madam, Fourth Young Master's Madam did buy 20 bags of charcoal, and they were just unloading them when I went over there."

Nanny Yu didn't say the amount, she really didn't dare to say it.

Shi Xuanting had no choice but to believe it now.

But how could I ask her to pay for it?

She suddenly pointed at Wan Zhou and said, "Well, Fourth Sister-in-law, you could have bought some charcoal, but you just watched your mother-in-law suffer from the cold? This is such an unfilial act. When Fourth Brother comes back, I will divorce you."
