Mistakenly recognized as a cousin, thousands of pampered

Ten thousand gold?

The green-clothed lady was instantly frightened and immediately knelt down in a hurry, completely ignoring the debris on the ground.

"Ma'am, I didn't drop it. I didn't touch it at all."

Ji Miaofu was already angry and didn't want to see Tao Jiuxi pretending to be nice, but as soon as she turned around, she heard the crisp sound of porcelain falling to the ground.

"Madam, it really wasn't me. I really didn't touch that vase of my cousin's. It really wasn't me..." The concubine in green was so anxious that sweat beads appeared on her forehead. She knelt on the ground and kowtowed continuously.

As the mistress of the house, Ji Miaofu couldn't just sit back and watch, so she immediately scolded him: "How dare you offend my cousin, you fool."

Then he said with a smile: "Xi'er, I think Wang's mistake was unintentional. Can you please forgive Wang this time for the sake of us being family?"

"Mrs. Ji, what you said is really ridiculous. Do you know how much our girl loves this vase? She always puts it on the bedside before she can fall asleep peacefully. If it weren't for the fact that you are a relative, the girl would never be willing to take out this vase for you to see. It would be fine if you were not grateful, but you actually smashed it to pieces. This is really too much." Qiaoyu hurriedly stood in front of Tao Jiuxi and said sternly.

Tao Jiuxi lowered his head, biting his lips hard, trying hard not to laugh out loud.

Where on earth did Qiaoyu find this amazing person? Even she found his ability to speak fluently amazing.

Also, who on earth had to put a broken jar at the head of the bed every day before he could sleep? This made Tao Jiuxi very amused. She kept her head down, and her body was shaking slightly because she was trying to hold back her laughter.

"How about finding a ceramic master to make a new one?" Tao Jiuxi said.

"This is a one-of-a-kind item. Even if it were remade, it would never be the same as the original."

Tao Jiuxi raised her head and pretended to wipe away her tears.

"So, Xier, what exactly do you want?" Ji Miaofu asked.

"Of course you should compensate me according to the price."

"Compensation according to the price?" Ji Miaofu's face was full of astonishment.

"This vase is worth ten thousand taels. However, for your aunt's sake, I will only charge nine thousand taels. This is already a discount for you." Tao Jiuxi said slowly.

"What?" Ji Miaofu widened her eyes in shock.

When Xie Yuhua heard this, his eyes almost popped out of his head.

Others may not understand, but she knew in her heart that Tao Jiuxi did this because she had wrongly accused Tao Jiuxi of smashing the vase in the past.

But she never expected that the vase that she had falsely accused Tao Jiuxi of smashing was indeed worth one thousand taels, but the one Tao Jiuxi had in his hand was clearly a defective product that might not even be sold for ten cents.

Just as everyone was astonished, they heard a loud noise behind them. The row of shelves behind Xie Yushu collapsed, and the vases on the shelves fell to the ground and shattered.

Xie Yushu had been extremely anxious because her mother was wrongly accused. She was a concubine in the mansion, but her mother was only a concubine and could only be considered a maid, so she could not speak up to plead for her mother.

Unexpectedly, when she was nervous, someone suddenly bumped into her, but she knew in her heart that she had not touched the shelf at all.

However, the shelf still fell down.

"Ten thousand taels, twenty thousand taels, thirty thousand taels...my one hundred and fifty thousand taels!" Tao Jiuxi counted the broken bottles on the ground.

After Tao Jiuxi finished counting, he looked at Xie Yushu angrily.

"Xie Yushu, you always like to cause trouble for me when you see me in the past. Today, you dare to act wildly in my house?" After Tao Jiuxi finished speaking, he reached out and slapped Xie Yushu.

However, her slap was not as strong as the one Ying Qiao used to hit Xie Yuhua. She hit lightly, but the sound was very loud because she had practiced with Shen Zhiyi's arm yesterday, figuring out how to hit louder without causing too much pain.

Xie Yushu was already frightened to the point of being stunned when he heard the figure of 150,000 taels, and was even more stunned by the slap from Tao Jiuxi.

I am Tao Jiuxi's benefactor, so how could she treat me like this?

However, even though her heart was full of grievances, she couldn't speak.

If the eldest lady knew that she had helped Tao Jiuxi escape, then she and her mother would be in danger.

Xie Yushu glared at Tao Jiuxi fiercely but said nothing.

Tao Jiuxi ignored her and turned to Ji Miaofu, saying, "Aunt, I invited you here because we are relatives and it's better to resolve a feud than to create one. How could you bully me like this?"

"Xi'er, your aunt was confused in the past because she loved you too much and wanted to keep you by her side..."

"Shut up! If you can't come up with 150,000 taels today, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to be relatives. If my aunt insists on bullying me, then I can only ask the Duke to make the decision." Tao Jiuxi felt nauseous and wanted to vomit when he heard Ji Miaofu's words, and naturally he couldn't continue to listen.

"Xi'er, we can discuss this..."

"Come here, arrest the two people who broke my vase, take the others to the front yard, and invite the Duke."

When Ji Miaofu heard this, she was very scared.

She knew that if Xie Mi knew about it, he would definitely blame her for not doing her job well.

"Mu'er, I'm about to faint, please support me." Tao Jiuxi pretended to be heartbroken and about to faint. Mu'er immediately stepped forward, carefully supported her and walked slowly out.

"I will help the young lady back to the house to rest for a while."

"Ladies and girls, please go to the front hall." Qiaoyu directly asked everyone to leave.

Seeing this situation, the Xie family knew it was inconvenient for them to stay in the teahouse any longer.

Xie Yuhua quietly approached Ji Miaofu and lowered her voice, "Mother, look at Tao Jiuxi. She's clearly still afraid of us. She only dared to attack those two useless people to vent her anger."

"But what should we do?"

"Let Tao Jiuxi beat the mother and daughter to death to vent his anger."

"Then your father will definitely blame me." Ji Miaofu frowned, full of worry.

"Father never liked Wang, and Xie Yushu has long lost his favor. Father will definitely not agree to compensate them. They can only blame themselves for their bad luck." Xie Yuhua said coldly with a ruthless look in his eyes.

Over there, after everyone left, Tao Jiuxi took a detour back to the tea room.

Seeing Xie Yushu and his daughter still kneeling under arrest, she hurried over to help them up, saying apologetically, "I'm so sorry, did I hurt you just now?"

Xie Yushu was confused for a moment, and found Tao Jiuxi's attitude change so quick that it was surprising: "Did you hit me on purpose to show them?"

"I'm just trying to find a way to save you. Does it still hurt?" Tao Jiuxi said, gently rubbing Xie Yushu's face.

Xie Yushu didn't expect that Tao Jiuxi would actually rub her face affectionately. Because she was not used to such intimacy, she avoided it a little.

"It doesn't hurt. You didn't use any force."

Seeing this, Xie Yushu's mother finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, has there been any movement from the old lady after I left?" Tao Jiuxi asked after inviting them to sit down.

"Old lady? Do you still expect her to be sad for you?" Xie Yushu asked with a little doubt.

"Is there no movement at all?"

"What could possibly happen? When we went to pay our respects the next day, although Grandmother got up a little late, she looked radiant."

"Radiant?" Tao Jiuxi looked surprised.

"Well, I heard yesterday that my grandmother went to the farm outside the city because she thought the weather was very good. This time, my grandmother acted very low-key. It is said that she only asked a coachman in the mansion to harness the carriage and take her and Nanny Ji with her." Xie Yushu said slowly and unhurriedly.

When Tao Jiuxi heard this, he couldn't help but frown.

What on earth is going on!

Was my reverse drugging that time a revenge on the old lady, or was it to help her?

But what is certain is that this action of his was definitely a revenge against the old lady's grandfather who had passed away long ago.

Tao Jiuxi could only sigh: "Oh, it was all in vain."
