章節 278: Marking Up the Price

Xie Mangshan intended to insult Xie Qiao, but Xie Niushan did not get the underlying meaning.

He only felt that his eldest brother was praising Ms. Lu. He was already angry, so he said directly, "She's pretty great?! She gave out all of the assets that I hid away! She's even more powerful than that beast. She took 200,000 taels of silver from me at once!" 

"200,000 taels?!" Xie Mangshan's heart jolted in disbelief.

This brother of his did not have that much silver, right?!

When Xie Niushan said that, he felt a little embarrassed.

To the outside world, he had always complained that he was poor.

However, those things were not included in his family's assets. He had secretly hid them away.

Back then, he said to the outside world that he had donated most of his family's wealth to get this official position. The rest of the things were used as money to buy houses and properties.
