The Two-Faced Venerate Emperor Chapter 1160 – Wishful Thinking, Humph!

Chapter 1160 – Wishful Thinking, Humph!

Madam Yin Xiu’s face turned unhappy. Do the words imply that if she takes things too far, they will move away?

This was not her intention…

She only wanted to use this incident to make Niu Niu marry into a family of lower status. So what if Niu Niu was the daughter of the family head? With such in-laws, Yin Xiu would be able to control them and do whatever she pleases.

This was supposed to be a great opportunity, marrying Niu Niu to outsiders with no backing and little wealth. Through controlling Niu Niu, she could manage this family of outsiders and get them to hand over all their silver as betrothal gifts. At that time, the final amount to be decided upon will depend on her mood.

In fact, she was currently pregnant. Once Niu Niu is married off, the wealth of the w.a.n.g Family would belong to her child in the future.

A pity that this family thought to move away rather than marrying Niu Niu.

She could only take a step back to control the situation.

“A lady needs to watch her reputation, you think this could be measured by money? So be it, if your family is trying to run away from responsibilities then my w.a.n.g Family will not take things too far. You must make sure Niu Niu’s illness is cured, how much are you willing to compensate? Our Niu Niu is the daughter of the w.a.n.g Family Head, her body is precious.”

Huan Qing Yan took out a bag filled with some silver and bronze cents placed it on the table. On a rough count, it was estimated to be around ten silvers.

“My husband compensated a hundred silver to the w.a.n.g Family yesterday and this is all the money my family has now. You can take it, or leave it. Ten silvers are enough to hire a horse carriage to invite a good doctor from the neighbouring town…”

Towards people like them, it was only natural not to give too much.

The more you give, the more they would treat you like their money tree.

The observers started discussing.

“The lady boss of Lord Treasure Snack Shop is quite rich, to think that they have over a hundred silver of family wealth. Are outsiders all so wealthy? However, the lady boss does possess excellent culinary skills, being able to earn so much is also natural…”

“Isn’t this just a scare? Yet they compensated a hundred silvers, the heavens! What an honest family…”

“That’s right. The people from the w.a.n.g Family deliberately appeared to ransom more money! They even used Niu Niu’s reputation as an excuse. She is doing such shameless things only because she did not give birth to Niu Niu, utterly tarnishing the reputation of the w.a.n.g Family.”

“Squire w.a.n.g is a scholar and never got involved in general matters. It is said that he is fixated about alchemy or something…”

……

Madam Ying Xiu grabbed the bag and snorted, “This is temporary enough for now. I will try to heal Niu Niu first, but if she doesn’t get better. Everyone bear witness, I will be back to find this family again…”

The onlookers acted as though they had not heard it and scattered.

Madam Yin Xiu’s face collapsed and spitted, “What a bunch of cheap hillbillies! Pui!”

And left with the servants.

She has obtained ten silvers today. After letting the small shop continue for a few months to earn enough, she would use Niu Niu’s reputation and extort more money again. She is not worried about them not giving it to her.

If they do not give money, she will deliver Niu Niu to their house. Since that old woman is dying, she did not need to worry about any repercussions.

***

When everyone left, Huan Qing Yan closed the door of the shop.

Little Treasure angrily said, “Mother, why did you give that bad woman silver?! She deliberately came here to extort us. w.a.n.g Niu Niu is completely fine and she had even wanted to get me, Lord Treasure, to marry that evil girl. What wishful thinking, humph!”
