章節 1447: Up to No Good

Qiao Wei and Shao Yunduan had amassed considerable wealth. However, Qiao Wei's aim wasn't merely to accumulate riches; she harbored a desire to take Qiao Xuan's possessions.

This time, she had received a substantial sum of silver from someone, enough to provide two hundred taels. Nevertheless, she believed it was necessary to negotiate a lower price.

"Two hundred taels?" Qiao Wei sneered and cast an incredulous look at Mrs. Mao. "You're just a girl. Do you genuinely believe she's worth two hundred taels? Do you think Madame Shao is so easily deceived?"

Both Mrs. Mao and Mianmian were left bewildered.

Mrs. Mao's eyes widened, and she stammered, "Miss, what do you mean?"

"I mean that Madame Shao is reneging on her agreement!"

"What?"

"That's inconceivable…"

Though Mianmian's voice was barely audible, Qiao Wei managed to catch her words. Feeling uneasy, she scoffed at her and retorted, "Why not?"
