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

Shi Xuanting was furious when she heard Wanzhou asked her to pay for the charcoal with silver. But when Wanzhou said that she would pay for the charcoal when it was delivered, she started to make some calculations.

"Can you buy charcoal?" Shi Xuanting looked incredulous.

Even the Duke's Mansion couldn't buy charcoal, so Gu Wanzhou bought charcoal? What a wild idea. As expected, she must be very bold to spend money to marry into the Duke's Mansion.

"I'm not sure. But I will try my best to buy them. Otherwise, I will have to rely on the two bags you left for me?" Wan Zhou snorted and laughed: "I'm afraid that when you come over again, I will probably be frozen solid."

Although Wan Zhou said this with a smile, his attack actually contained sharp power, but if the target was Shi Xuanting, it would not show any power.

She has a special ability to know what you want to hear and can accurately select what you want to hear from a long paragraph.

At this moment, what she quickly extracted from Wan Zhou's words was that Wan Zhou herself didn't know whether she could buy charcoal, she just thought she could.

If that’s the case, then what else is there to say? It’s definitely not available for purchase.

"Bring the clay model." Shi Xuanting said it proudly, as if she was willing to sign the sales contract.

"Let me make it clear first. I will only pay you for the charcoal."

As soon as Shi Xuanting said this, Wan Zhou immediately guessed what she was up to, and looked at Shi Xuanting with bright eyes and a smile.

"no problem."

Seeing that Wan Zhou agreed to her conditions, Shi Xuanting readily pressed her fingerprint.

Since Gu Wanzhou couldn't buy the charcoal, she naturally wouldn't pay for it, so she got the charcoal for free. And after pressing this handprint, it was Shi Xuanting who bought the charcoal. Didn't the eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law say that she was stingy? How could they still say that now?

Shi Xuanting pressed her handprint and happily returned with a group of people.

Wan Zhou looked at her ostentatious back and sneered.

Originally she just wanted to be a good person and sell some charcoal to the Duke's Mansion, but now she has changed her mind.

Shi Xuanting knew that she couldn't buy charcoal but still left only two bags for her. Her extreme selfishness of only caring about herself and not caring about the lives of others, and her arrogant attitude, made Wan Zhou extremely disgusted.

Therefore, she decided to let Shi Xuanting pay the silver that was originally paid by the Duke's Mansion alone.

As for the amount, she would think about it first.

"Bai Lu, go find Jiang Nan and ask him to come over."

Because people were needed to carry the charcoal, the road from Yijing Pavilion to the Duke's Mansion was cleared, so it didn't take much time for the egrets to come and go.

"Young Madam, what do you want to talk to me about?" Jiang Nan was shivering with cold. Ji Nanzheng took Jiang Bei away, and he stayed in the mansion.

"I have something to trouble you..."

Wanzhou decided to let Jiangnan and Maodou go to find Huayang together.

In order to make Shi Xuanting pay the money, we need to find a witness.

The next morning, Huayang arranged for someone to deliver 20 bags of charcoal. Jiangnan went with them to transport the charcoal, so he saw with his own eyes that Wanzhou gave him a silver note of 2000 taels.

Jiangnan's eyes twitched as he watched, the Fourth Young Master's wife really had plenty of money!

100 taels of silver for a bag of charcoal. Tsk tsk, this is not burning charcoal, it's clearly burning silver.

Another person who was shaking as much as Jiangnan was Nanny Yu.

As luck would have it, when Nanny Yu came, they were just unloading coal. She didn't expect that the housekeeper of the Duke's Mansion couldn't buy a bag of coal after asking around, but Wan Zhou actually bought 20 bags at once.

What kind of connection is this?

But when she saw Wan Zhou counting out 2000 taels of silver to the other party, her eyes widened. 2000 taels? How many kilograms could it buy in normal times? Forgive Yu Ma for not knowing how to count, but in previous years, the Duke's Mansion only spent a few hundred taels of silver on charcoal a year.

Actually, Nanny Yu also came to give some silver.

Yesterday, Shi Xuanting brought back the charcoal, saying that she bought it from Wan Zhou. Mrs. Wang believed it at first. After giving her the silver, she felt more at ease.

But Nanny Yu had seen Wanzhou's warehouse and knew that after those things were moved away, there was not much left of Wanzhou.

Moreover, Shi Xuanting has been married into the Duke's Mansion for two years. Everyone knows that she is a stingy person. It would be impossible for her to pay for the charcoal burned by the government.

After Nanny Yu told Mrs. Wang about her doubts, Mrs. Wang also felt that it made sense. However, as a mother-in-law, she couldn't ask Shi Xuanting about such things, so she thought about paying the money herself, since it was public money anyway.

With the mentality of compensation, Mrs. Wang quadrupled the price of previous years and asked Yu Ma to bring over three hundred taels of silver.

Seeing this scene, how could Nanny Yu take out the 300 taels of silver notes?

"Mammy, it's so cold, why did you come here in person? Is there something wrong?"

Wanzhou paid the silver note and greeted Nanny Yu warmly.

"Well, it's nothing. Madam asked me to come and see if the fourth young master's wife needs anything." Nanny Yu didn't mention a word about the money.

It would have been fine if she didn't see it, but she clearly saw it. The other person spent 20 taels for 2000 bags, and the Duke's Mansion took 22 bags from her. So she gave him 300 taels as a gift?

She didn't dare to lose this person on behalf of Mrs. Wang.

Wan Zhou did not ask further questions. He invited Madam Yu to drink a bowl of bird's nest. Madam Yu did not refuse. In this kind of weather, drinking some bird's nest to moisten the throat and lungs is the best.

After the maid finished eating, Wan Zhou took Bai Lu and followed Maid Yu to the main courtyard.

Nanny Yu didn't ask Wan Zhou what he had done in the past, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.

There were still a lot of people gathered in Mrs. Wang's room. Although they had charcoal, they didn't dare to waste it because the weather didn't show any signs of improvement. They stayed together during the day, but the fire burned more vigorously than before. In addition, a small amount was distributed to each room for use at night.

Wan Zhou counted silently. Madam Wang, several daughters-in-law, and grandchildren were all there, about 10 people in total. It was the first time she saw the Ji family in such a group.

Wan Zhou bowed and greeted everyone. Everyone was quite surprised at her uninvited arrival, after all, Wan Zhou almost never came here on her own initiative.

When Shi Xuanting saw Wan Zhou coming, her heart tensed up.

Could it be that she really bought the charcoal and came to ask her for money?

Then, she denied it herself. As I said before, even the Duke's Mansion couldn't buy it at a high price, so what ability could she, Gu Wanzhou, have?

"Please sit down. It's lonely over there for you. You should come over and walk around." Mrs. Wang said politely.

Wan Zhou didn't sit down. He looked at the charcoal basin and smiled slightly, saying, "Fifth brother's wife is really generous. She bought charcoal out of her own pocket for everyone to use."

After Wan Zhou finished speaking, the eldest sister-in-law, the third sister-in-law, and Mrs. Wang who were present were all surprised at the same time.

Everyone knew what kind of person Shi Xuanting was. After yesterday, almost everyone came to their senses. Although Shi Xuanting said that she bought it from Wan Zhou, they thought she didn't pay any money.

After hearing what Wan Zhou said, of course he was surprised. Shi Xuanting, who was so stingy, actually gave it to him? Unbelievable.

Shi Xuanting herself was also surprised. Gu Wanzhou didn't ask her for money, didn't sabotage her, and even praised her?

Too abnormal?

Shi Xuanting immediately thought, if someone is too nice to you for no reason, he is either a traitor or a thief. Could it be that Gu Wanzhou is asking me for help?

As soon as she thought of this, she couldn't help but think deeply. In this kind of weather, which normal person wouldn't want to save some charcoal for themselves? Gu Wanzhou agreed to it even though only two bags were left. If that wasn't ulterior motives, what could it be? Maybe she had planned it all along, not only did she need something from her, but it might also be a big deal.

Shi Xuanting gritted her teeth secretly: Gu Wanzhou actually wanted to use his brain on her, how dare he.

"It was really bought by Xuan Ting. That's really rare." Third sister-in-law Xie Ling joked, but she still felt it was a little unreal in her heart.

After hearing what the third sister-in-law said, Shi Xuanting felt very unhappy and pouted, "We can't just watch everyone suffer from the cold. We don't have much money, so it's not necessary."

The buyer and seller said the same thing. Although everyone was a little bit unconvinced, facts speak louder than words. The eldest sister-in-law, Madam Wang, and all the servants looked at Shi Xuanting with admiration.

Shi Xuanting looked happy. She didn't spend a penny, but she enjoyed the recognition of someone who spent a huge amount of money. She made money.

Wan Zhou silently watched Shi Xuanting's happy expression and thought: It's good enough if she admits it.

If she admitted it, she could ask for money.
