Farm Girl Turns Everything Around: Sly Husband, Let's Farm

Chapter 1315: Chapter 1114: Painful Loss_1 Chapter 1315: Chapter 1114: Painful Loss_1 Shopkeeper He skimmed through the letter in seconds and was dumbfounded, “What, what can we do…”

Furious, Qiao Xiaomai’s brain fogged with anger, and it felt as though her entire body was ablaze. She stomped her foot and fumed, “Let it be! Write a letter to the Prime Minister, say they can kill or flay whoever from the Gambling House wants it, since Xiaomai and I don’t have any silver!”

The money she had earned during this period had all been handed over to the Yang Family, and the only silver left in the manor was enough to keep it running.

Ten million taels?

Did they think silver blew in with the wind!

“This, this won’t do,” Shopkeeper He immediately shook his head upon hearing this. Tong Xingda was, after all, Xiaomai’s real father; he couldn’t let anything happen to him.

“How can it not be done? What use is there in keeping such a person around? It’s better to sever ties completely!” The debts she currently shouldered were over a billion, ten million taels–ten of these and you have a billion. She wouldn’t want to cough up that amount of silver even if she had it!

Shopkeeper He gave an awkward smile upon hearing this and tried to pacify her, “Calm down, calm down, come, have some water.”

“I don’t want any!” Qiao Xiaomai refused the cup offered by Shopkeeper He and stomped toward the door, “Just like that, write to the Prime Minister. Tell him Xiaomai can’t produce ten million taels of silver, and from now on, he severs all ties with Tong Xingda!”

“Hey, wait, wait!” Upon hearing this, Shopkeeper He quickly followed her out.

They couldn’t write the letter like this; he had to go to the manor personally to discuss it with Xiaomai.

Xiaomai had returned to Anping Village today to attend Zhu Hongyun’s child’s Full Moon Banquet. When Qiao Xiaomai and Shopkeeper He arrived at the manor, he had just left. Unable to see Xiaomai, Qiao Xiaomai found a guard and asked him to fetch someone from Anping Village.

Having cooled down on her way back to the manor from town, she realized something.

To sever relations with a temperament like Xiaomai’s was definitely impossible.

To not sever relations would mean she had to fork out the ten million taels.

Ten million taels! Not a mere thousand taels!

She had just fleeced someone, and before she could enjoy the feeling for two days, she was about to be fleeced herself–it hurt, every part of her ached!

Xiaomai returned quickly. He had just arrived at the Tong Family’s residence and hadn’t even sat down when he saw the guard who had come to summon him. Knowing that Qiao Xiaomai had an urgent matter, he simply used his qinggong to return to the manor.

Upon entering Mai Yuan, what greeted him was Qiao Xiaomai’s sullen face, along with a piece of paper meant to be plastered onto his face.

“Read it for yourself!” The fire in Qiao Xiaomai’s voice seemed enough to burn down the entire manor.

“Ah?” He hurriedly reached out to catch the paper thrown at his face.

After reading the contents of the letter, he pursed his lips, and then let out a long sigh.

But the irritation in his heart couldn’t be sighed away.

Ten million taels…

“You decide what to do!” Qiao Xiaomai glared at him.

“We don’t have the silver,” he slowly began, his handsome face showing a hint of hesitation, “maybe we should go to the Capital City?”

“What for?” Qiao Xiaomai said fiercely.

“He’s my father; I must bring him back.”

“How will you bring him back?” Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes blazed.

“First, we need to ask and see just how he managed to lose ten million. We can’t just take the Gambling House’s word for how much it was.” Losing ten million taels in one night, that was indeed massive gambling.

“You have doubts? Uncle Li personally went to inquire, and there’s no issue with the ten million taels.”

“Whether there’s an issue or not, we need to ask ourselves,” Xiaomai made up his mind, “I’m heading to the Capital City right now.”

Qiao Xiaomai “…”

“If we don’t have enough silver, we could ask the Emperor Emeritus. This is the worst-case scenario.”

If the Gambling House truly had no problems, then he would have no choice but to pay the ten million taels, and he would have to borrow from Yang Wenxiao.
