BXBX NOVEL Chapter 35 part1
Although Long Xiao Yu was the one who gave her the jade pendant, the amount carved on the jade pendant was unbelievably large so she wanted to make sure it was correct first.
“Princess, you should never sell this jade pendant. With it, you can withdraw as much money as you want from any bank out there,” explained Uncle Fu in panic. He made sure to emphasis ‘as much money as you want’. Why would the Princess want to sell such a jade pendant?
So it turns out that that was the case. Originally, she thought that she was given the pendant so she could sell it for money. Still, she still had no idea how much the jade pendant would be worth.
“Uncle Fu, do you know how much money this jade pendant could withdraw?” asked Mu Zi Ling curiously. She didn’t know if the money Long Xiao Yu gave her was enough to buy the shop.
“This old servant doesn’t know!” said Uncle Fu as he shook his head. He truly did not know. Banks had so much money, and in addition, one could withdraw as much money as wanted with this jade pendant. How would he know how much money this jade pendant was worth?
Long Xiao Nan wasn’t just anybody, and even Uncle Fu didn’t know how much money this was worth. Could it be that the jade pendant was actually worth a lot of money? Mu Zi Ling though happily. After she finished looking through all of these accounting books, she would immediately go and withdraw the money. Once she finished up matters with the shop, her dreams wouldn\'t need to be prolonged by any longer.
“Alright, you guys can leave the accounting books here. This Princess will look through all of them. You may all leave!” ordered Mu Zi Ling to the big group of people.
She had also decided to stay awake. After what Uncle Fu said, even if she was dead tired, she would still be energized. Long Xiao Yu gave the consultation fees, so her heart naturally felt better. In a bit she would go eat breakfast, and then she will go look through the accounting books.
After Uncle Fu and the others left, Xie turned to Mu Zi Ling with a face full of joy and said, “So it turns out that his highness the Qi King was not angry with the Young Miss last night. He even gave the manor’s financial power to Young Miss. In the future, Young Miss will not only be the Qi Princess in name, but also in reality.
She was truly happy, she had waited for his highness the Qi King to finally start noticing the Young Miss for so long already. As long as the Young Miss was living well, then she would be really happy.
Mu Zi Ling silently looked at Xie. Why was this foolish girl happier than her? The only reason she was happy was because Long Xiao Yu gave her money. However, Xie was happy about her becoming the housekeeper. Also, did Long Xiao Yu look like he was angry last night? Wasn’t it just the same expressionless cold face as usual?
Furthermore, what did she mean by her becoming the Qi Princess not only in name, but also in reality? Just because she would be holding the manor’s financial power, it was still just a title, ok? Mu Zi Ling didn’t know why Long Xiao Yu gave her the manor’s financial power. Was he really approving her, or did he have a hidden meaning behind this?
For now, she wouldn’t worry about this. One step still counted as a step.
-
After Mu Zi Ling finished eating breakfast, she ordered Xie to sell all of her dowry and then turn them into banknotes. She then stayed in the palace alone, going through all of the accounting books seriously to check for any issues.
The accounting books were super simple to go through, and didn’t have any problems in them. It only took a few hours before she had already gone through over than half of the pile. Looks like the person who was in charge of accounting was really honest. The whole thing was also checked regularly and thoroughly, so it was obvious with a single glance, that there were no problems.
Suddenly, somebody knocked on the door, “Bang, Bang, Bang”
“Come in!”
Xie ran indoors.
“Xie, how was it? Did you sell everything?” asked Mu Zi Ling as she raised her head, and massaged her sore neck.
“Young Miss, this servant has sold every piece of you dowry. The final price I received was three hundred and eighty thousand gold coins!” said Xie happily. The dowry sold for thirty thousand more gold coins than expected. After she said this, she handed Mu Zi Ling the banknote.
Mu Zi Ling too the banknote and said to herself, “Three hundred eighty thousand gold… That means I only need seventy thousand gold coins left.”
Hopefully the money Long Xiao Yu gave her would be enough, otherwise, she would have to find some other method again.
“Young Miss, where did you find a shop that’s so expensive to buy?” asked Xie confused. Where in the world would a shop sell for so much.
“The shop is near the Night Rain restaurant.”
Xie would find out sooner or later, so Mu Zi Ling didn’t intend to conceal it anymore. At least Xie wouldn’t be like Long Xiao Ze and indulge into a flight of fantasy. He was even able to think of the beauty’s tactic.
“Oh, so it’s like that. No wonder it was so expensive, the shop is near the Night Rain restaurant. However Young Miss, wasn’t the boss there unwilling to sell any shops.” asked Xie doubtfully. What methods did the Young Miss use to buy the shop?
“Originally, he didn’t want to sell me the shop. However, after he found out I was the Qi Princess, he was willing to sell me the shop,” as Mu Zi Ling said this, her words did not convey the meaning.
Half of her words were the truth, while the other half of her words were false. The Night Rain restaurant’s boss really did know that she was the Qi Princess, but even she didn’t know why he wanted to sell her his shop. She didn’t believe him when he said that fate brought them together. She also didn’t know why she would trust him and buy his shop. It just felt like she wanted to trust him unconsciously.
Xie believed and doubted Mu Zi Ling at the same time. However, other than that, she couldn’t think of any other reason. His highness was really powerful, and the Young Miss was the Qi Princess, so she would naturally benefit from it.
“Xie, go and prepare a carriage. After I finish going through these accounting books, we will go outside for a stroll,” ordered Mu Zi Ling as she looked at the few remaining accounting books. Then she lowered her head and continue to read the accounting books
“Yes” said Xie.
-
After Mu Zi Ling finished going through all of the accounting books, she was about to go out when Uncle Fu came inside again.
“Princess, his highness said that you must finish looking through all of the accounting books. If you haven’t, then you are not allowed to leave,” said uncle Fu respectfully.
He saw Xie preparing a carriage earlier, so he knew that the Princess wanted to go out again and hurriedly came over to remind her. Didn’t they just come to an agreement this morning? Why was she going out again?”
