Gu Xijiu sympathized with her. "How many pieces of silver does your master normally deduct?"
Li Mengxia put on a face of despair as though she had just lost both of her parents. "Every time it would be a deduction of half a year's worth. That amounts to a total of 50,000 pieces of silver!"
The amount deducted is genuinely quite high. No wonder Overlord Li seemed to act like the heavens were collapsing.
Gu Xijiu pondered for a while, then decided to give her an empty promise. "I wouldn't blame you, but him instead… I could not bear it if he does deduct your silver because of this. Alright, how about you wait for me to return and acquire 50,000 pieces of silver for you."
Gu Xijiu had an abundance of silver notes; 50,000 pieces of silver were merely a trifle!
