Qiao Xiaomai was not very sure about the figure, and she turned her head to look at Yang Ye as she spoke.

Yang Ye nodded, “Yes, it is over sixty million taels in total. The ‘Daqi Law’ is laid out right here, and it is inescapable. Both your families should split the amount. With your family assets, thirty million taels should be bearable.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Ang’s old face instantly turned the color of dead tree bark, and he said with a desolate air, “Your Highness Prince Wei, I’ve been an upright official, and even with Jiwei Residence, I don’t have that much silver!”

“Didn’t Qiao Xiaomai just say that you can pay in installments? With Jiwei Residence, the Yu Residence has an annual income, and you should be able to repay it eventually.” Yang Ye pointed to Qiao Xiaomai and said, “Miss Qiao, am I right?”

Qiao Xiaomai nodded with a smile, “You’re absolutely right.”

At her words, the desolate look on Yu Ang’s face deepened. “Miss Qiao, we’ve cooperated for so long, do you really mean to press me this far?”

Prime Minister Left, you’re not speaking fairly. If Tongsanlang hadn’t seen through the tricks of Hongxing Gambling House, we would be the ones paying ten million taels. It’s just thirty million taels now, consider it paying for a lesson learned.” Qiao Xiaomai replied.

“A lesson that doesn’t hurt won’t be remembered. After this experience, I believe Young Master Yu will surely reform.”

“But even with Jiwei Residence, I can’t come up with thirty million taels!” Yu Ang’s tone carried a faint, barely discernible plea.

“Then take your time, as long as Jiwei Residence doesn’t go bankrupt, you’ll be able to pay it off eventually. There’s plenty of time.” Qiao Xiaomai remained firm in her stance.

Hearing this, despair washed over Yu Ang’s face. “Miss Qiao, do you truly have no regard for our past friendship?”

“I do remember it,” Qiao Xiaomai said, “If I truly had no regard for our previous cooperation, I would definitely seek compensation for that ten million.”

Upon these words, Yu Ang was utterly despondent. He swayed and uncontrollably fell to the ground, his face wrinkled and ashen white as paper. His entire being seemed instantly drained of spirit, looking utterly lifeless.

Seeing this, Wu Yuanxian could not help but draw his hand back to strike Wu Yancai once more.

Yu Ang had cooperated with Qiao Xiaomai for so long, yet she showed him no favor, clearly forcing Yu Ang to relinquish Jiwei Residence.

From now on, Jiwei Residence should probably take the surname Qiao.

Yu Ang couldn’t even save face in front of Qiao Xiaomai; there was no chance he could either.

His pay-out of thirty million was settled.

Although the amount of silver he had to pay was halved on the spot, he felt no joy. That was thirty million taels!

The fact that Zhao Jianing would rather have Lady Zhao and Zhao Lan go to jail and do hard labor than pay the silver shows just how valuable those thirty million taels really were.

This unfilial son, this unfilial son…

He would rather he had never had this son!

Wu Yuanxian struck with such force that Wu Yancai screamed in pain, and for a while, the only sounds in the great hall were Wu Yancai’s cries.

Yang Wenxiao finished the grapes in his hand and wiped his fingers with a napkin, feeling greatly satisfied by today’s drama.

“That’s enough, stop hitting him. If you want to discipline your son, do it at home. Oh, and do remember to bring the necessary silver. The Wu family should be able to come up with over thirty million taels, right?”

At these words, Wu Yuanxian quickly ceased his blows and respectfully said, “Replying to Your Highness the Retired Emperor, if it’s cash, the Wu family cannot come up with so much in a short time.”

“Cannot come up with it?” Yang Wenxiao raised his eyebrows in surprise. “Surely that cannot be?”

“The Wu family has many mouths to feed, and our income has decreased over the years. We’re nowhere as strong as before.”

“Then pledge your estates and shops as collateral.” Yang Wenxiao offered a solution.
