Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 419
Indeed, just as the head of the Huo family had imagined, a look of surprise and joy blossomed on Chen Muxue’s face: "Ten thousand taels? No wonder you’re the head of the Huo family, truly generous!"
The recipe for the Qi Smoothing Pill, sold for ten thousand taels, should be quite acceptable...
Ten thousand taels! Chen Muxue had never received such a large sum! The last time there was so much money was when selling the Heavenly Heart Jade Clear Pill, but it was quickly spent on the Qian Ding Sect’s barrier.
But facts proved that spending that ten thousand taels was quite worth it; otherwise, Chen Muxue estimated they couldn’t withstand the Fei Xing Sect’s attack.
Seeing that Chen Muxue was merely excited for a moment and did not express further, the head of the Huo family felt somewhat disappointed for some reason and thought to himself, perhaps add a bit more, yet before he could speak, his eager hand was pressed down by the servant beside him.
"Master, that won’t do! If the young master finds out..."
"I, as the father, still have to mind that brat Huo Lian?" The head of the Huo family was very displeased.
"Master, please reconsider, indeed you must mind."
The head of the Huo family fell silent... For no reason other than he indeed must mind Huo Lian.
This sudden clarity of realization made the head of the Huo family’s mood fall significantly, as he looked up sharply at Chen Muxue, wanting to find some sense of presence from her admiration of his wealth, and indeed he saw her full of joy—
"How will the payment be made?"
"Ah?" The head of the Huo family was momentarily dumbfounded.
Chen Muxue chuckled: "Mr. Huo, your word is as good as gold; when you say ten thousand taels of silver, it certainly will be ten thousand. Would you give silver in cash or silver notes?" 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
The head of the Huo family was dumbstruck, and the illusions in his heart suddenly shattered—he had been tricked!
This woman, this... this country woman, rustic! Her heart filled completely with silver coins, she reeks of vulgarity, she absolutely cannot become the head mistress of my Huo family, and is unfit to marry into my family to Huo Lian!
The head of the Huo family, furious, was about to renege: "You woman, how dare you behave this way? You dared to deceive me..."
"So the words of Mr. Huo are worthless and blown away by the wind? Mere moments ago what was said, now becomes an accusation from a sect leader of deceiving you, is this the conduct of the Huo family?" Before Chen Muxue could speak, Little Tiger stepped forward, showing an intent to protect her.
Chen Muxue, although touched, wondered if this confrontation was too soon...
"Pah! You beggars, following a woman beggar, coming to our Huo family asking for money! Shameless!" The servant who had brought Chen Muxue and them inside couldn’t hold back, and cursed.
Why give them ten thousand taels? That’s ten thousand taels! Although the Huo family could certainly afford it, ten thousand taels, when given to a regular family, was practically a leap to great fortune—something even in the capital would secure a living!
She had been a servant in the Huo family for many years, working her way up from a sweeping maid to serving the head master, yet her monthly stipend was only twenty taels. Why give this impoverished woman ten thousand taels after just a few words?
The head of the Huo family listened to his maid’s words and nodded comfortably in agreement. Indeed, they were just deceived by these beggars asking for money!
But unexpectedly, it was he who had originally intended to bring them, and it was him who proposed giving money; Chen Muxue simply uttered a few sentences.
"Sect Leader..." Changgui’s voice came from the doorway just then.
