Princess Promotion

An Tian looked at Fu Hongxuan who was sitting upright opposite her, and Fu Yuanyuan who was looking anxious beside her.

An Tian showed a subtle smile on her face, and without further ado, she took out the title deed and said, "Mrs. Yun sold the Fu Mansion to the merchant company last night."

Very good! Fu Hongxuan's heart was completely relieved.

With a "thump" sound, Old Madam Liu fainted.

An Tian had anticipated this and turned to the attendant beside him and said, "Call the doctor in."

Then she said to Fu Hongxuan with a considerate look, "Don't panic. I brought the most famous doctor in the city with me."

Fu Hongxuan squeezed out two words from between his teeth and said, "Thank you!"

A group of people hurriedly helped Mrs. Liu back to her room and asked the doctor to treat her.

Fu Hongxuan asked Fu Yuanyuan to take care of Old Madam Liu while he would handle the matter.

An Tian shook the deed in his hand and asked, "I wonder when General Fu will move out?"

Fu Hongxuan asked in a calm voice, "How much silver did Yun get from selling it?"

An Tian held up five fingers and said, "Fifty thousand taels of silver."

The veins on Fu Hongxuan's forehead were throbbing slightly. He had just thought in the palace that Yun had been the mistress of the Fu family for so many years, and she controlled everything inside and outside the family.

Now that the Yun family is in urgent need of money, they may well take action against the Fu family's property. Unexpectedly, the Yun family really doesn't care about the years of friendship at all.

Everything happened too suddenly yesterday. Fu Hongxuan realized that his grandmother might have been stabbed in the back by Yun. The shock was too great to recover for a while, and he might not have had time to take back Yun's housekeeper rights.

Fu Hongxuan asked with unconcealable anger in his eyes, "What else did that woman sell to you?"

Fu Hongxuan was not surprised that the Yun family would approach An Tian Trading Company. There were not many people in Yundu City who could come up with such a large sum of money at one time.

No matter how powerful the Fu family is, they still have certain connections and influence in Yundu City. A lean camel is bigger than a horse, not to mention that Fu Hongxuan is about to regain control of the military power.

If the Yun family contacts the nobles in Western Zhou, Fu Hongxuan will definitely get the news first.

Therefore, the Yun family could only seek help from the Qi State, and An Tian, who was in the limelight recently, was the best choice.

Yun even sold her mansion, and Fu Hongxuan didn't believe that she didn't sell anything else.

An Tian still maintained her usual WeChat account, not at all afraid of Fu Hongxuan's murderous gaze, and said, "Everything. Madam Yun has sold all the Fu family's land, shops, and servants that can be sold to me."

Fu Hongxuan had a sullen face and said nothing.

An Tian gave Fu Hongxuan the final blow and said, "Mrs. Yun sold it for a total of 250,000 taels of silver."

It can no longer be said that the Yun family sold at a low price, it was simply selling the Fu family at a low price.

Fu Hongxuan clenched his fists, and the blue veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible.

Fu Hongxuan now wished he could go back to the palace gate last night. It turned out that the woman was holding his family's silver.

What a good plan! He used his family's money to redeem her.

Fu Hongxuan also knew that it was useless to think too much at this time, so he could only bite the bullet and look at An Tian, who had maintained a smile from beginning to end, and said: "Can that mansion give me some time..."

Fu Hongxuan did have some savings, which were the silver he had accumulated for his rebellion. But since he gave up the rebellion, Fu Hongxuan used most of the silver to subsidize his brother.

Now the remaining silver is only enough to redeem the servants of the Fu Mansion.

Those servants also suffered an unprovoked disaster. If they were resold, no one knows what would happen to them. A dead thing is not as important as a living person.

In this way, Fu Hongxuan would have no money to redeem the mansion.

An Tian took over the conversation with understanding, "Of course, we know each other after all, and I will definitely help you if I can."

Fu Hongxuan frowned and said, "Thank you, Miss An. I owe you a favor."

An Tian smiled and said, "Why would I ask General Fu for a favor? Silver will do. The mansion is worth 100,000 taels, and the servants are worth 50,000 taels to General Fu."

Fu Hongxuan's expression froze as he looked at An Tian and said, "You're too ruthless! The Yun family only sold you 250,000 taels of silver, and you're asking me 150,000 taels of silver just for the mansion and servants?"

An Tian said as a matter of course: "In business, I have only heard of buying low and selling high. When has there ever been a reason to buy low and sell low? I am doing business, not charity."

Fu Hongxuan gritted his teeth and said, "I only have 30,000 taels of silver, no more. We are all colleagues, and we will see each other again in the future."

When An Tian heard the word "colleague", the corners of his lips couldn't help but rise.

"No money! But I have a way to make General Fu's wish come true." An Tian laughed a few times while covering her mouth with her hands.

Fu Hongxuan's expression softened as he said, "I'd like to hear the details."

An Tian said slowly, "General Fu, have you ever heard of installment payment?"

Fu Hongxuan shook his head and said, "Never heard of it."

An Tian: "So-called installment means that General Fu needs 150,000 taels of silver now. I can lend you 150,000 taels of silver with an interest of 10,000 taels. From now on, you can pay me 14 taels of silver every day."

Fu Hongxuan thought that fourteen taels of silver a day was nothing, so he asked casually, "How many years will it take to pay it back?"

An Tian: "Thirty years!"

Fu Hongxuan showed an expression of disbelief and repeated, "Thirty years?"

An Tian: "This is just based on the time you pay back fourteen taels of silver every day, but you are a first-rank military officer of the court. His Majesty has rewarded you for your meritorious service. If not tens of thousands of taels, then at least eighteen thousand taels of silver. Maybe you can pay it back with interest next year."

The more Fu Hongxuan thought about it, the more he felt something was wrong: "You said fourteen taels of silver a day, so that's four hundred and twenty taels of silver a month, and five thousand and forty taels of silver a year."

No matter how strong he is, it is impossible for him to be rewarded for his merits every month. Even if he is rewarded once a year, each time he will receive 8,000 taels of silver, which will take him at least 15 years to pay back.

Moreover, his annual salary was only 180 taels, plus 180 dan of rice.

An Tian smiled naturally and said, "Yes, if General Fu feels that my method is inappropriate, perhaps you can see who to borrow money from."

Fu Hongxuan looked at An Tian in silence for a long time, then finally said, "Bring the IOU here for me to sign."

"Okay!" An Tian agreed, and took out the written IOU from the box she brought with her, filled in the specific amount of silver, and handed it to Fu Hongxuan.

Fu Hongxuan looked at this familiar scene and couldn't help but twitch his eyes.

Fu Hongxuan held the house deed and the indentures of the Fu family servants, and stood at the door, watching An Tian's carriage drive away.

I couldn't help but think that he owed An Tian money for thirty years, and then he paid it back with his annual salary from the court.

An Tian’s business belongs to Yao Chuguang, and the imperial court also belongs to Yao Chuguang.

So...he sold himself to Yao Chuguang! ?

Wait! Fu Hongxuan also thought that Yun took his silver and gave it to Yao Chuguang.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and Fu Hongxuan felt a little cold all over.

Did he lose both his wife and his army?
