The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

52-61

Chapter 52 : Things In The World Always Changing (1)

Now that Yuxi had bought real estates and land property, it was impossible to hide such a big thing from the people of the residence. Of course, she also did not want to deceive people. It was also a good thing to let them knew that she had money. At least they would not dare to underestimate her anymore. She was fed up with the supercilious look she received from the servants in her past life.

When Yuru knew this matter, both of her eyes spit out green fires, "Impossible! Where did Yuxi get such a large sum of money? Mother must have bought them for her."

Qingxuan, however, didn't feel it was like that at all as she said, "Miss, if it were only three hundreds or five hundreds taels, Eldest Madam might have supplement it. But, if we add up all these properties, it will be a few thousands of taels of silver in total. Eldest Madam may likes Fourth Miss dearly, but after all, she is not her own daughter. How can she give that much money to her just to buy the properties?" Eldest Madam was also a mother with her own sons. It was impossible for her to give all her private money to Fourth Miss.

Yuru gave out a cold snort and said, "Do you mean that this silvers was really left to her by her mother? You may believe it, but I don't. At that time, Yuxi was so sick that she was nearly died. If there was such a large sum of money, why didn't Mama Fang take it out at that time?"

Qingxuan felt that her Miss really had penetrated into a bull's horn (Chinese idiom : waste time on an insoluble or insignificant problem), "Miss, Fourth Miss got smallpox at that time." No amount of money was going to help a person with smallpox.

Yuru still didn't want to believe it. She always felt that there was something wrong. In order to find out the truth, she made up an excuse to go to Rose Courtyard.

Yuxi answered Yuru's probing seriously, without perfunctory or giving people room to think back.

Yuru didn't find any useful information from Yuxi. She suddenly thought of something and asked Qingxuan, "Did you send someone to ask Mama Fang?"

Qingxuan didn't know how should she persuade her Miss at this time. "Miss, it takes a lot of money to ask someone to help with this and we don't have much on hand."

Yuru was usually very economical. Every month, she would save a portion of her monthly allowance. Now, in order to investigate, she gritted her teeth and prepared to lay down her hard-earned savings, "Take out twenty taels of silver. Then find an old woman who is on friendly term with Mama Fang, and ask her to find out what actually happened from Mama Fang's own words."

Unfortunately, twenty taels of silver were spent in vain as nothing could be found out.

When Qingxuan saw that her Master was still full of doubts, she could not help saying, "Miss, Third Miss's two stores in the northwest alone worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. These industries run by Fourth Miss are not enough to be compared with Third Miss."

Rather than being a good advice, this statement only added fuel to the fire.

Yuxi soon knew what Yuru was up to and she intentionally asked Mama Shen, "Mama Shen, what is the meaning of Eldest Sister?" Before, Yuru's probing on her, already irritated her so much. She didn't expect that Yuru went as far as seeking out Mama Fang.

Mama Shen replied, "Don't worry, Miss. Eldest Miss is just jealous of you."

Yuxi's face revealed a sneer, "I'm afraid it is not just jealousy." There must be some plot to get to the bottom of her current situation. Though, she really did not understand it. If Yuru wanted to resent someone, shouldn't she envy Yuchen? Why fix her jealous eyes on her solely?
