Then, Lady Zhang said bluntly to Lin Kong, "Yes, yes, yes, hurry up and compensate with silver."
Lin Kong’s face darkened with extre disgust towards Lady Zhang. He couldn’t understand how such a clever person like Celestial Master Zhang ended up with such a troubleso wife.
Lin Kong said coldly, "Lady Zhang, you won’t be short of the silver I owe you, why so anxious!"
Lady Zhang looked at Xuexue and cried bitterly, "Madam Situ, you don’t know? Since we compensated the War Prince’s Mansion with five hundred thousand taels of silver last ti, we really have no money. We originally planned to sell these flowers and at least exchange for so silver back to treat the Old Master’s illness. Now thanks to Young Master Zhao smashing them, what about the Old Master’s future dical expenses?"
Recalling last ti, because of Lin Kong’s impulsive actions, Celestial Master’s Mansion had to sell everything to compensate the War Prince’s Mansion with five hundred thousand taels of silver, Lady Zhang’s heart still ached.
That damnable Lin Kong, making their situation so miserable. No, this ti, having caught his weak point, she must make him cough up so money.
Determined, Lady Zhang cried even louder.
Xuexue looked at Lin Kong, "Young Master Zhao, Lady Zhang is really pitiful, why don’t you just compensate her with so silver."
Lady Zhang cooperated imdiately, following up, "Yes, hurry up with the money, the Old Master is still waiting for dicine."
Many servants stood around the courtyard, looking on eagerly.
Lin Kong, being soone who cared about appearances, imdiately reached into his chest pocket, felt around, and pulled out a large wad of silver notes. These funds were all given to him by the Fourth Prince.
Just as he was about to count a few silver notes to compensate Lady Zhang, Xuexue snatched the whole wad away.
Seeing this, Lin Kong panicked; this was all his wealth, all his expenses for eating, drinking, and entertainnt in the Capital were contained here.
But before he could speak.
Xuexue had already handed it all over to Lady Zhang and said, "Madam, count to see if it’s enough? This is Young Master Zhao compensating you."
A thick wad of silver notes, in denominations of one hundred taels and five hundred taels, appeared to be no less than ten thousand taels in silver notes.
Lady Zhang imdiately broke into a smile, counting the silver notes while nodding repeatedly, laughing, "It’s enough, it’s enough."
How could it not be enough? Those flowers and plants only cost a few thousand taels in total, but she recovered tens of thousands in silver notes now, it was worth it.
"By the way, did Madam Situ have business today?" Lady Zhang asked while carefully hiding the silver notes in her chest.
Xuexue: "The Heavenly Master was injured, and the Prince asked to offer so condolences."
Speaking of Celestial Master Zhang’s condition, Lady Zhang’s smile imdiately faded, and she said dispiritedly, "Madam and the Prince are thoughtful, but the Old Master is very agitated now, I’m afraid he might harm himself, so we’ve arranged for people to watch over him day and night."
Xuexue: "The Heavenly Master has great fortune, he will be fine."
Saying this, Xuexue had Zi Xia present so gifts, all being supplents and similar items.
Lady Zhang was naturally very grateful, profusely thanking her.
After so pleasantries, Xuexue took her leave and departed.
Lin Kong saw she was about to leave and quickly followed her.
Xuexue looked at him in surprise and said, "Didn’t Young Master Zhao say you were going to visit the Heavenly Master? Why are you leaving so soon?"
Lin Kong: "The apprentice’s mood isn’t good right now. A few days later, when he calms down, I’ll co to see him."
Xuexue glanced at Lin Kong and suddenly rembered the Fourth Prince, who lost an eye, practiced Evil Cultivation, and could grow it back; perhaps Celestial Master Zhang’s hand could also regrow.
With that thought, Xuexue brewed an idea in her mind and started probing, "Young Master Zhao, with such serious injuries to Celestial Master Zhang, do you think he can still be cured?"
