Chapter 283 - Chapter 283: Find Su Yingxue to Settle the Debt! Chapter 283: Find Su Yingxue to Settle the Debt!
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Su Yurou was even more sorrowful than Su Yingxue had imagined.
She had long since broken down!
However, while she was smashing things in her breakdown, she suddenly thought of a way to vent her anger.
She selectively chose furniture to smash, and she even specifically targeted the expensive ones!
After smashing, she had Yuan Ruo compile a list. The following day, she took people with her to Red Brocade Lane to make purchases. When she brought back the items, she left the Marquis’s Manor with the bill!
Su Yingxue was in the accounting office, clattering away on an abacus.
This account book and abacus were the first she’d ever encountered in both her past and present lives. Thankfully, she was smart and didn’t get buried under this mountain of accounts.
Zhilan knocked on the door, bringing in a middle-aged man with a grim expression.
The man was dressed as a businessman, and if he shaved off the two tufts of beard at the corners of his mouth, he looked quite similar to Manager Qi.
The moment he entered, he respectfully greeted Su Yingxue. “I am the proprietor of Red Brocade Lane. I’ve heard that Eldest Young Miss is currently in charge of the Marquis’s Manor. I’ve come to request that Eldest Young A/Iiss settle the bill.”
“Settle what bill?” Su Yingxue furrowed her brows slightly. Red Brocade Lane primarily sold furniture, but the Marquis’s Manor hadn’t made any furniture purchases recently.
“This is the bill from the Marquis’s Manor. Yesterday, the Second Young Miss purchased quite a lot of furniture in our shop and instructed me to come to the Marquis’s Manor to settle the bill.” The proprietor handed over the bill with a smile.
It spanned three to four pages in total. Su Yingxue couldn’t help but chuckle as she read it. “So, my dear sister is quite the shopper!”
She spent a total of five hundred taels of silver. Why didn’t she just sell herself and buy whatever she wanted?
“Miss, the Second Young Miss is deliberately trying to embarrass you!” Zhilan complained in Su Yingxue’s ear.
Su Yingxue sneered. “It’s not just about embarrassment. She also wants to drain my pockets.”
The proprietor, having been in business for many years, had also collected bills from many noble households. Seeing that Su Yingxue and her servant had gloomy expressions, he quickly offered, “I’m not in a rush to collect payment. If Eldest Young Miss can’t make the decision, it’s not too late for Marquis to settle the shop’s bill once he learns of it!”
“Now that I am managing the household, there is no need to trouble my father! Zhilan, please settle the shop’s bill, not a tael less!” Su Yingxue handed the bill to Zhilan.
Although Zhilan was extremely reluctant, she had to obey Su Yingxue’s instructions.
After seeing off the Red Brocade Lane proprietor, Zhilan’s face fell. “Miss, the Second Young Miss is doing this on purpose! She’s so extravagant that her spending alone exceeds the Marquis’s Manor’s monthly allowance! If Master learns of this, he’ll certainly blame you, Miss, for your poor management.”
Su Yurou was dragging down the Marquis’s Manor’s reputation and deliberately extorting money from Su Yingxue!
Even though her miss didn’t lack those five hundred taels, Zhilan was angry on her behalf!
Who would want to be the scapegoat for Su Yurou?
“Zhilan, do you know what it’s like to drive someone insane?” Su Yingxue jotted down the expenditure of five hundred taels on the account and chuckled softly.
“Drive someone insane?” Doubt filled Zhilan’s eyes.
However, she had been with Su Yingxue for so long that she would mull over her words before responding.
Suddenly, she figured it out. “You mean driving the Second Young Miss insane? Miss! What brilliant plan do you have this time?”
Her eyes sparkled like stars in the night sky.
Su Yingxue tapped her fingers lightly on the table. “Continuously suppress her, and when she thinks she can make a comeback, deliver a heavy blow, and then…”
“She must be defeated!” Zhilan stood beside Su Yingxue and quickly answered.
Su Yingxue scratched her nose. “Smart!”
In Sunset Court, Su Yurou was proudly admiring the new furniture she had just purchased. She gently stroked the polished mahogany tabletop. “This feeling is truly remarkable..”
