Could it be that the old woman wanted more silver? However, Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe were present. She could have asked them for silver too. Why did she want to talk alone?

Could it be that she was embarrassed? Or did she not want those two to know?

Jiang Ming could not figure it out, so he did not continue thinking about it. He nodded and said, “Of course, I’m free. Madam, just say what you want to say. There’s no need to hide anything. After all, your daughter is the only one here.’

He wanted to see what this old woman wanted to say.

In his opinion, there was nothing to say.

Tang Xiaoxiao did not want to avoid them. She sat there and wanted to hear what her mother had to say.

She had already made up her mind.

If her mother said anything that would cause misunderstandings, she could mediate and try her best to explain some things so that there would be fewer misunderstandings.

Unexpectedly, the old woman pushed Tang Xiaoxiao. “Go to your room. Why are you listening to us? Don’t worry, I’ll definitely arrange everything for you.

When the time comes, you can just go along. There’s no need to interfere here. Don’t disturb us.’

Hearing this, Tang Xiaoxiao felt strange, She could not help but have a bad feeling.

She quickly said, “Mother, what is there that I can’t hear? I’m your biological daughter. Do you still need to hide things between us? You’re really treating me like an outsider.’

The old lady knew Tang Xiaoxiao well and knew that she would say something like that. “How can you be considered an outsider?” she quickly asked. “Although you’re at this age, you’re still a girl. There are some things you don’t understand, so don’t argue. Just listen to me and go. I’ll tell you what I’m talking to this young master about later, okay?”

It sounded like she was trying to placate a child. Tang Xiaoxiao had no choice but to listen.

She knew that this was her mother’s signal.

If she were to say that she was unwilling, her mother would get angry.

She had her brother’s filial piety and did not want to disobey her mother. She sighed. “Then, Mother, if you need anything, just call me. I’ll leave first.” As she spoke, she walked slowly, wanting to hear a few more words.

However, the old madam was extremely patient. She waited until Tang

Xiaoxiao left the house before closing the door and looking at Jiang Ming.

When she saw Jiang Ming stand up, she quickly said, “Jiu Zhu, don’t stand there. Just sit down. It’s not easy to talk while standing.” free webno vel

Jiang Ming did not say anything and sat down.

The old woman sat down next to him and smiled. “Jiu Zhu, I can tell that you’re a good person at first glance. You have an outstanding figure, and you are full of wealth. You’ll definitely be able to bring happiness to my daughter. In the future, I’ll leave my daughter to you.”

She winked at Jiang Ming and said, “It’s just that my daughter was born delicate. Her betrothal gift can’t be simple. What’s more, it can’t even be compared to ordinary gifts. It has to be three times more expensive. You need to give her 81 pieces of jewelry. As long as one is missing, it won’t do. As for the silver taels, they have to be packed in boxes. I know you’re still young and probably don’t have many silver taels, but no matter what, you should give us forty or fifty boxes, right?”

Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.

The old woman was still rambling on, but he still understood what she meant. He did not know whether to laugh or cry.

This old woman really knew how to ask for an exorbitant price. These things were worth at least ten thousand taels of silver and more than ten thousand taels of gold. She wanted them to go bankrupt.

Moreover, this was only the wedding. After that, the clothes, food, accommodation, and transportation would need a series of arrangements. More importantly, was not this old woman going a little too far?

He did not have any feelings for Tang Xiaoxiao at all. He did not know what this old woman was thinking. Why did she think that he would do so much for her daughter?

However, he could not say anything else now. After all, the old woman had taken care of the three of them so attentively before, and he could not interrupt her.

He could only wait for her to finish, but the old woman continued to list out many conditions. It was as if she would never be satisfied.

He had no choice but to interrupt the old woman. “Madam, we’ll discuss this matter later. I need to rest first. We’ll talk about it when the time comes.’ Seeing Jiang Ming stalling for time, the old woman was a little unhappy.

“My daughter is a precious young lady. If you drag this out, what if she can’t get married? Aren’t you ruining her reputation?”

Jiang Ming could not help but laugh in anger.

“How could I ruin her reputation? I didn’t even do anything. I just accidentally barged in. Moreover, we didn’t see anything that we shouldn’t have seen. At most, we can just erase our own memories, right? Anyway, we know some spells. It’s not like we can’t do anything.”

The old woman was furious. She felt that Jiang Ming was a sc*mbag. She snorted coldly and said, “You still don’t want to take responsibility? No matter what, you have to give me those betrothal gifts. Anyway, I’ll give you a month. If you don’t prepare them, I won’t let you leave.”

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her sleeves and left in a fluster, feeling smug in her heart.

She did not believe that this brat was still going to waste his time like this.

She had to get this betrothal gift within a month no matter what.

Seeing that the old woman was not listening to him at all and was even talking to herself, Jiang Ming chuckled.

What kind of family did he end up with? This old woman was really greedy.

Even ultra-wealthy families would not be able to afford this. He could not even imagine the plight of normal families.

Then, he felt that it did not matter anymore.

He was leaving tonight. No matter what the old woman said or wanted, it had nothing to do with him. He was definitely leaving tonight.

Thinking of this, he stood up and turned to look at the porcelain dolls again, but he realized that the porcelain dolls had been taken away.

Seeing this, he could only give up.

He really did not expect those people to move so quickly. The porcelain dolls were gone just like that. If he had known earlier, he would have made the first move.

Now, he could only find another opportunity to look for those porcelain dolls.

He did not know if Sikong Wuyuan and Yuan Hehe had taken the porcelain dolls. If they had, it would be the best outcome.

Thinking of this, he shouted to Yuan Hehe and Sikong Wuyuan in his mind, “Did either of you take away the porcelain dolls? I wanted to continue checking, but I realized that someone had taken away all the porcelain dolls..”
