The bargaining chip in the hands of the Duke's wife is the real trump card for Fuyun Qiuqin to ascend to the throne of the princess.
It's a pity that Xia Chiwan didn't give the Duke and Mrs. Guo that chance at that time.
The image of Yun Qiuqin created by the Duke's wife is definitely a positive one.
However, as soon as Xia Chiwan's words came out, Yun Qiuqin lost the opportunity and the qualification to climb up.
Xia Chiwan sneered. In her previous life, as the wife of the prime minister, Yun Qiuqin was simply adopted as an adopted daughter by the Duke's wife. There was no such thing as a personal title to the princess.
Could it be that Yun Qiuqin wanted to be the princess because she became a princess?
Yun Qiuqin's dream of becoming a princess had not come true, so Xia Chiwan quickly put the matter aside.
On another matter that caught Xia Chiwan's attention, Xia Furong told Yun Qiuqin about the 150,000 taels of silver.
Of course, Xia Furong's purpose was obvious. She hoped to obtain the 150,000 taels of silver from Yun Qiuqin so that she could help Bu Zhanfeng pay off his debts.
At that moment, Xia Chiwan was happy.
She wanted to see how much money Yun Qiuqin had to help Xia Furong.
Before, Yun Qiuqin gave Xia Furong a sum of money, but Xia Chiwan actually knew about it through Qingyun.
So, would Yun Qiuqin be so generous as to give these 150,000 taels to Xia Furong?
Regarding this question, Xia Chiwan has no answer yet.
However, on another matter, Xia Chiwan blossomed and bore fruit.
Lu Xiaoliu, who had been away from Xia Chiwan for more than a month, was back.
Seeing the dusty Lu Xiaoliu, Xia Chiwan was speechless.
Seeing Lu Xiaoliu with a happy face, Xia Chiwan knew that her plan with Li Xuzhi must be going smoothly.
Therefore, Xia Chiwan gave Lu Xiaoliu a day off and asked him to freshen up and come back to see her after eating and sleeping.
As soon as Lu Xiaoliu received the order, he hurriedly ate, took a bath, and went to bed.
It wasn't until the sun set in the west and rose in the east that he replied to Xia Chiwan in high spirits.
"Master, here are 850,000 taels of silver notes. This is the title deed of the mine. This is the title deed of the horse farm. This is the title deed of fertile farmland."
Lu Xiaoliu held out a bunch of things and handed them to Xia Chiwan so that Xia Chiwan could look at them one by one.
"The mine cost one hundred thousand taels, the horse farm cost one hundred thousand taels, and the fertile land cost 20,000 taels. In order to defraud Bubu and take advantage of the front, he bought the village for 30,000 taels. He sold the village and got back one hundred thousand taels."
"Very good, thank you for your hard work."
After listening to Lu Xiaoliu's account and what Lu Xiaoliu took out, Xia Chiwan's eyes were full of satisfaction.
"Of the 850,000 taels in silver notes, you take 350,000 taels and give them to Xu Zhi. I will have use for the remaining 500,000 taels."
The more than 200,000 taels of silver obtained from Bu Zhanfeng last time were all in Li Xuzhi's hands.
Adding these 350,000 taels, Li Xuzhi already has 600,000 taels.
Xia Chiwan thought that if he encounters any situation and spends money, Li Xuzhi will basically not worry about it.
"Yes, Master."
Lu Xiaoliu nodded, happily counted out the 350,000 taels of silver notes, and then put them away.
"How many days will it take Bu Zhanfeng to return?"
After the matter was settled, what Xia Chiwan was concerned about next was when Bu Zhanfeng would discover that what he bought was actually an abandoned mountain.
"Reply to the master, when I come back, Bu Zhanfeng and others have already entered the back mountain to mine. I think there will be news in about ten days."
