Chapter 54: Becoming skewers
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
Huang Yue Li answered him: "That's right, I didn't calculate incorrectly!"
"But, but.....we only stayed in the courtyard for a while, not breaking anything. And so many of my subordinates were injured….."
Clearly it was his people who were injured, while not even a single strand of hair was lost from Huang Yue Li's maid. Why was it them who were paying the money, and so much at that? ?
Raising her eyebrow, Huang Yue Li answered him: "What? You are unconvinced? Take a closer look at my Eight Direction Earth Burrowing Thorns? Ah? Look carefully. Those are Second Level Middle Grade Armaments. It is also such a large scale Mechanism-type Armament. Priceless beyond compare! If you were to put them on the market, they would sell for at least ten thousand silvers!"
Everyone's eyes bulged out, carefully observing the row of thorns.
They all had the same thoughts: 'My god! This row of iron thorns was that amazing. They were Second Level Armaments ah! In my entire life, this is the first time that I get to see Second Level Armaments! They were actually lying on the ground like streaky pork skewers!'
Huang Yue Li continued: "Now you know? This Armament, cost five thousand silvers to manufacture. This was all because I took pity on you and gave you a twenty percent discount, charging you each four hundred silvers. I am suffering a loss of one thousand silvers! As for the trauma you made my maid suffer, as the master I decided to write that off! Yet you still consider it expensive? Do you not feel guilty?"
They were thoroughly lectured by her. Looking at their feet, they began to reflect on themselves.
That's right, Third Young Miss is already this generous. Yet everyone continued to complain and haggle about the price, this was too appalling....
"Third Young Miss this subordinate is not acknowledging his debt. In truth....this subordinate did not bring that much money with him…..."
"That's right, that's right. Third Young Miss, this sum is the accumulation of our wages for several years. It wouldn't be that easy to take out...."
"Correct ah. Third Young Miss, I have a eighty year old mother and a child who still needs to drink milk. I truly cannot take such a sum out ah..."
With someone one leading the herd, the others followed him and started to cry out. All pretending to be pitiful!
After all this was such a large sum of money. No matter how reasonable the Third Young Miss said, they were unwilling to part with that sum!
For those with a working brain, they immediately went to find a loophole. Afterall, they didn't bring that much money with them today; even if they die, they wouldn't give it. What can the Third Young Miss possibly do then? She wouldn't possibly kill them?
At the end of the day, they were guards of the Manor. If they were to die in the territory of the Third Young Miss, she would have provoked no small trouble!
Gradually each and every one of the guards came to an understanding. Each crying out how poor they were, preparing to renege on their debts.
Huang Yue Li sneered in her heart, while the smile on her face became filled with even more warmth and softness.
"Okay then, I know about everyone's sufferings. I am not someone who cannot be reasoned with. How about this, since everyone cannot take the sum out currently, why don't you all write an IOU. Leave the IOU at my residence. Take your time to gather the money and pay it off when you have acquired the sum."
Hearing those words, they became very energetic.
"Sure sure sure. This solution is good! Just do it like that!"
"Third Young Miss' heart truly is good and honest. You will definitely be rewarded well in the future!"
"Rest assured Third Young Miss. We will not fail to pay these debts....."
So what if she has an IOU? Leaving those gates, who would go and admit it?
The Third Young Miss did not know where they lived, so could not go to their doors knocking for their debts. This money...naturally would not be returned!
This Third Young Miss was this easily swindled, she even believed these types of promises. She is indeed a sheltered rich lady, oblivious to the ways of the world!
So what if she possessed powerful Armaments? A few words were enough to trick her?
Chapter 55: Fainting from anger, on the spot

Huang Yue Li smilingly said: "That's good then. I will definitely believe everyone. Cai Wei, go and fetch paper and pen!"
"Yes Young Miss!"
Swiftly, Cai Wei ran into the study. She shortly returned with pen, paper and an ink stone.
Raising the pen, whoosh whoosh whoosh, the words flew out from Huang Yue Li's hand, onto the paper.
"Done. Cai Wei, go ask for the signatures of those brother guards. Start from that Lord Commander. Everyone do not worry, I will go with you all to the Manor once you have all finished signing your names!"
"Third Young Miss, you are truly too good...."
"Not only is the Third Young Miss beautiful, you are also kind hearted. Truly not a well-bred young lady in name!"
Letting out an internal sigh of relief, they began to follow up with some ass kissing. A heap of beautifying words flowed out from their mouths like they were free. Nonstop, they threw out these praises.
Huang Yue Li only nodded her head, lips slightly curved. She seemed to be highly pleased with all those praises.
Taking the pen and paper, Cai Wei took them to the commander first: "Lord Commander, I ask for you to sign your name over here."
"Okay, no problem!" Pounding his chest, he enthusiastically agreed. Without a shred of hesitation, he wrote his words in large characters.
As he wrote, he continuously praised: "Third Young Miss' yours words are written so beautifully. Strokes like dragons and snakes, with a multitude of grandeur. Deserving of being the Manor's esteemed Young Miss. A noble Region Princess, really is different! This is the first time that this subordinate has seen such beautiful writing!"
"Haha, You exaggerate, you exaggerate. Lord Commander you are far too courteous!"
As the IOU was passing through the hands of the guards, everyone seem to be very impatient to sign their names. They were worried that Huang Yue Li would be become clear minded and go back on their agreement.
Receiving the paper from Cai Wei, Huang Yue Li gave it a look. She satisfied, she smiled and said: "Too good. Everyone here is honest and straightforward! Let's go with our agreement then. Take ten days to gather four hundred silvers each and send to this courtyard. Otherwise I will take a note to the Main Manor and let my Second Uncle see what you guys say behind his back"
"Huh? What has this got to with the Manor Lord?"
Feeling that those words were a bit strange, he asked that question.
Eyes narrowing from her smile, Huang Yue Li said: "I didn't know before, but you people were actually this dissatisfied with the Manor Lord! You complain that he does not give you enough income and complaining how harshly he treats subordinates. You also want to report to the Emperor and expose him!"
"What? !"
"What do you mean?"
"I ...I...….How come I can't understand?"
Holding the note, Huang Yue Li walked a bit closer towards the commander. Allowing him a clearer view of the words.
Taking a closer view of the note, they nearly spit out blood!
How was this an IOU? This was a collective agreement signed by Valiant Martial Manor's Personal Guard Regiment's, declaring the law bending of the Manor Master! It was full of Bai Liu Jing's dark deeds. All kinds of words and doings were recorded. Pouring sewer water with utmost effort onto his head!
And it was was on this paper were ten neatly signed names. They were the names of the ten members is this small group, not excluding a single person!
"You…..you…..."
The commander nearly shouldn't breathe properly.
The Third Young Miss had tricked them in such a way. What she made them wasn't some IOU at all!
Withdrawing the sheet of paper, she said in a tender voice: "Who would have thought that my Second Uncle would treat his underlings this badly. Everyone it has been hard you. Sirs please feel at ease. As long as you need to, I will deliver this into the Royal Palace for you and let the Emperor seek justice for you! Please rest assured!"
No one replied.
Confused, Huang Yue Li went to look around. Only to discover that a majority had fainted on the spot!
