Chapter 125 Persuasion
  Yongninghou Mansion, Cisong Hall.

"what!"

A loud roar came from Mrs. Song's mouth, causing the servants in the yard to tremble and make everyone feel in danger.

"Master Ze destroyed the paintings of layman Yan Qing. The other party demanded 800,000 taels of compensation from the Hou Mansion. When my wife heard that the compensation was 800,000 taels, she fainted on the spot. Now she was carried back to the yard and is still unconscious."

After Grandma Lai rushed back to the Hou Mansion, she rushed into Cisong Hall in a hurry.

After Mrs. Song heard what Grandma Lai said, she fell heavily back into her chair. She was also very frightened.

"Eight hundred thousand taels, what are you talking about? It's worth 800,000 taels. Is it so expensive?" Mrs. Song couldn't understand the elegance of the literati, and there were people who paid a lot of money to buy a word from the literati's hands. She thought they were stupid. Laji.

How can a piece of calligraphy be worth so much real money, but now a broken painting costs 800,000 taels.

Mother Li said: "Old Madam, the paintings that Young Master Ze destroyed were the paintings of layman Yan Qing. It was the famous teacher that Madam wanted to find for Young Master Ze. Now that we have failed like this, I'm afraid... we won't be able to accomplish anything."

"It's just that it can't be done." Aunt Lai said: "The prince went to see the madam to appraise the value of the painting. Originally, the other party only asked the Hou Mansion to compensate five hundred thousand taels. The madam took a second look and said that the painting was a priceless treasure. It’s just a shame it was destroyed.”

When Mrs. Song heard this, she bit her back teeth hard.

What did Xie Jinyun say?

"Later, my wife said that if she was willing to spend 800,000 taels to buy Layman Yan Qing, Layman Yan Qing not only didn't ask for my wife's money, but also gave the painting directly to my wife."

Mrs. Song's brows slightly widened: "Isn't this solved? Fortunately, Jin'er is here, otherwise the Hou Mansion would have spent these 800,000 taels in vain."

"That's not the case, old lady." Madam Lai raised her hand to wipe away the cold sweat: "Madam took the painting, turned and left. Madam also held Master Ze's hand and was about to leave, but she was stopped by layman Yan Qing and asked Madam Compensate him with eight hundred thousand taels for destroying the painting."

"Isn't this...isn't this blackmail?" Mrs. Song immediately became angry: "Didn't he already give the painting to Jin'er? Why should we give him 800,000 taels? Madam, you Let her come over to see me. She is the one who took the painting. She should resolve the matter properly. She is a member of our Hou Mansion. How can we just watch the Hou Mansion being bullied." Mama Lai stood there, wanting to speak. Stop again.

Mrs. Song frowned and shouted, "What's wrong?"

"My wife and the second wife went to see Mr. Nanshan, but they haven't returned home yet."

"After such a big thing happened, she still has the heart to accompany that thing. You should send someone to tell her quickly. Just tell her that it was me who told her to take the painting and return it to layman Yan Qing." She thought that she only needed to give the painting to her. If you return it, the Hou Mansion won't have to spend the 800,000 taels.

At this time, Mother Li saw Song Qian coming in from outside the hospital: "Old madam, the prince has returned home."

He walked quickly into the hall, his face extremely ugly.

Mrs. Song said: "Qian'er, where is your wife?"

"She's behind." Song Qian said, "Grandma, I think Aunt Lai has told you about the trouble Brother Ze caused. How much money can the Hou Mansion raise?"

Mrs. Song's eyelids twitched fiercely: "You should find Jin'er first."

"It's useless." Song Qian clenched his fists: "She won't help us."

"It's impossible. Jin'er has always been very dedicated in the Hou Mansion. Our Hou Mansion can't be what it is today without Jin'er's contribution. Now she can settle it with just one word. I don't believe she can make the Hou Mansion bankrupt to buy that painting. , you go get her painting back and give it back to layman Yan Qing."

Song Qian frowned, still hoping that Mrs. Song could persuade Xie Jinyun.

So, he turned around and walked out of Cisong Hall...
