章節 81: Chapter 81: The Hidden Silver (1)_1

Si Ya saw that Lady Zhu and Lady Chen indeed had come, and she was boiling with rage inside. Now, the secret of their stashed savings had been discovered by Grandmother and Madam Fang! Without handing over the silver, any chance for peace was out of the question.

Lady Zhu's face was gloomy, the corners of her mouth drooping down; she looked at Pei Qin and Lady Fang with malevolence.

Lady Chen also looked at them obliquely through narrowed eyes, but she didn't speak first, leaving everything to her mother-in-law, Lady Zhu.

"No wonder you've been making a fuss about dividing the household. It turns out you had your own hidden stash of silver coins!" Lady Zhu had thought it was at most a few copper coins, with maybe a little supplement from Lady Fang's family home. She hadn't anticipated that the spent money was actually from a secretly stashed fund, not at all a relief from her parents' home.

San Ya's small face was scrunched up with worry, and her eyes began to redden.
