Chapter 622 - 622: Empty
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Madame Qiao knew that was how it should be.
If she could give something up now, she would obtain more in the future in return.
“l will try my best.”
Madame Qiao had some jade and a few favorite ornaments pressed at the bottom of her boxes. She got them pawned in the province.
The pawn shops were all very stingy. Anything worth more than 100 liang would only be pawned at 30%, not fetching more than 30 liang. Also, if the person pawning wanted to get them back, the fees would be raised multiple times.
Even if she chose to give them as fixed goods, the things would fetch 70% at most, mostly 50%.
Madame Qiao’s ornaments and jadeware should be worth around 13,000 liang but after pawning, she only got 7,600 liang in total.
When the money and the invoices were brought back, Madame Qiao felt her chest ache. She felt so distressed.
She tried to console herself that everything was worth the while, as long as she was able to get back to the capital.
Once they were back in the capital, her husband would be in the high position and her daughter would marry into the Hou Mansion…
Concubine Du felt her heart dripping blood.
When she knew that Madame Qiao had offered everything she had, she and Qiao Kou even laughed at her in secret.
But now it was their turn.
Auntie Ling was fast and straightforward, leaving nothing with Concubine Du.
Even the 300 liang under Concubine Du’s bed was fished out.
Auntie Ling harvested a lot and left the place proudly. Concubine Du almost collapsed as she looked at her room later. She started to cry.
Madame Qiao was doing a count of what they had got. The whole thing was worth 1,340 liang!
She got so furious and cursed through clenched teeth. “This bitch has stolen so much from Old Master under my nose. Damn her!”
Auntie Ling consoled her with a smile. “But now you have retrieved everything. Don’t worry, Madame Qiao.”
Madame Qiao sneered. “Of course! All of this is mine!”
Hearing the news, Qiao Kou hurried back to Concubine Du’s place. She saw a distressed, tearful Concubine Du as well as a messy room.
“Concubine Du, what is going on?”
