The famine-escape cub vs. the fake daughter cub

Chapter 215 Looking for trouble

"Are these fruits the ones sold at high prices by Yun Ji that can't be bought anywhere else? No wonder they are worth one thousand taels! What is this white one? It's carved into flowers, it looks so beautiful!"

Chang exclaimed in amazement.

This dessert, which costs one thousand taels of silver, is made to look like a sculpture! The knife skills alone are worth the price!

"Aunt San, this is called butter. I heard it's made from milk and tastes really good."

Yunli explained with a smile.

"Cut it open and let everyone taste it!"

Shen Hongtai coughed and spoke.

There was no other way. If he didn't come out, the grandson and grandson might not let Shen Qingheng eat alone. It didn't matter whether Shen Qingheng could eat or not. What mattered was that the grandson was speaking for his mother.

If she was targeted for speaking up for Xu, and this precedent was set, how would Xu be able to gain a foothold in this family in the future? And how would the servants view her?

He had no choice but to come out and make amends.

Yaoxiang glanced at Jiang and saw Jiang nod. Then she took out a knife and cut the cake evenly according to the position of the cloud carvings, dividing it into thirty-six pieces.

Yuanxiang stepped forward to cooperate with Yaoxiang, and the two of them presented one piece each to the two patriarchs of the Shen family, Jiang and Shen Hongtai.

Jiang happily took it, but Shen Hongtai was making a fuss. He didn't take it, but ordered, "Give this to the Seventh Young Master first."

This matter openly supports Xu and Shen Qingheng.

Shen Qingheng immediately glared at Yunli in an arrogant manner, snorted, and sat there waiting for Yuanxiang to bring the snacks to him.

Yunli was not angry. He just walked up to his grandfather and stretched out his right hand towards him with his palm facing up.

This skillful movement made the corners of the mouths of the people who had witnessed it twitch, and they almost guessed what she was going to do next.

really!

Yunli smiled at Shen Hongtai and said, "Since grandfather wants to support Shen Qingheng, then give him the money. It cost one thousand taels to buy snacks, and I, the daughter of the Shen family, had to run errands to buy snacks myself, which cost twenty thousand taels. I finally got someone to pay for the third snack, which cost ten thousand taels. I won't charge you for the travel expenses, the sweating expenses in the hot weather, and the mental damage expenses. I'll treat these as a gift to you. Sincerely, a total of thirty-one thousand taels, please pay for it. You are the left prime minister, if you refuse to pay, it won't sound good, right?"

"Well said! Father, I think Yun'er is absolutely right! Besides, how can the youngest girl in the family pay for snacks herself? Our Shen family has not fallen to that level yet."

Shen Xiuyang had wanted to stand up for his daughter for a long time. He finally found an opportunity and quickly spoke up to take sides.

The corners of Shen Hongtai's mouth kept twitching. He wanted to say something, but didn't know what to say.

He, the left prime minister, was blackmailed by his own granddaughter? !

"Oh! The red envelope my father gave me today looks so thin, it must be worthless. Why not give your granddaughter a big red envelope now? As elders, we want to see our younger generations flourishing and cheerful!"

After receiving the color handed over by his brother, Shen Xiucheng hurriedly spoke up to help.

Anyway, it's just a matter of talking, he doesn't have to pay, but he has to be the good guy, so this deal is very cost-effective!

"Father, are you out of money? Otherwise, can I, as your uncle, give the money to him?"

Shen Xiusheng shook his head unwillingly and sighed, "I never thought that our Shen family would be so poor that we can't even take out 30,000 taels of silver. But it doesn't matter, father. Liu still has some dowry..."

"Shut up, you!"

Shen Hongtai quickly interrupted his eldest son's words, glared at him and said, "Who said our Shen family is down and out? I was just thinking that thirty thousand taels is not enough. Since it's for Yun'er, why not round it up to a whole amount and give forty thousand taels directly!"

"Father, how can we get a whole number like this? Why not get 100,000..."

"Shut up too!"

Shen Hongtai felt his temples throbbing.

These three children born to Jiang are not his sons at all. They are like three debt collectors!

As for?

For the sake of a girl, he lost all his shame and tried every possible way to get money from him!

She even threatened him with her daughter-in-law's dowry!

Is it a good reputation to spend your wife's dowry?

It's crazy!

"Fifty thousand taels! Yun'er, Grandfather will give you fifty thousand taels! Grandfather thinks that the pearl hairpins on your head look very beautiful today, and they make you look more outstanding! Then, Grandfather will give you a box of larger South China pearls, how about that?"

Bigger?!

Yunli thought about it and felt that it was quite good.

Pearls were very rare and valuable these days. As far as she knew, some pearl ponds only produced a few taels of pearls a year. It was different from today, when the output was dozens of tons. The price of pearls dropped from sky-high to very low.

But she still kept a careful eye on it, "How many are there in a box?"

Shen Hongtai took a deep breath and barely suppressed the sadness in his heart - this was another debt collector!

"Grandfather is not such a stingy person! I'll give you fifty!"

Yunli did not give up, "Is it just me, or are all the sisters in the mansion giving it to me?"

What an injustice! Shen Hongtai thought.

And the sisters in the mansion?

There are only two girls in the mansion, Shen Qingyun and Shen Qingzhu in Wenshan!

Thinking that if he said he also planned to send one to Shen Qingzhu, this girl would definitely make a fuss, Shen Hongtai couldn't help but feel a headache.

"I'll just give you one. Are you relieved?"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, Yunli did not follow his idea at all.

"Grandfather is biased! Since he gave me one, he should give Shen Qingzhu one too. Otherwise, if it gets out, people will say that we in the Shen family treat her differently and suspect that Shen Qingzhu is not our Shen family's child? Grandfather is not planning to do this and then suspect that I let the secret slip, right?"

Yunli looked at Shen Hongtai with suspicion.

Shen Hongtai felt extremely powerless.

How could this granddaughter be so shameless?

Is he resentful of me for standing up for Shen Qingheng, so he's deliberately looking for trouble here?

But he couldn't say this out loud, otherwise it would seem like he, an elder, was looking for trouble to question Qingyun, a junior.

So he could only sigh and say, "Since Miss Yun has said so, how about I give Miss Zhu a box of South Pearls as well?"

"Then grandpa, give me the money."

After Yunli's provocation, he withdrew from the battle very skillfully.

If we really make this old man angry, it would be a waste of time and effort.
