Chapter 1489: Chapter 1492: Could It Still Be Old Mu from the Luo Family_1
"Five hundred taels for one or for all?" Yang Chuxia asked.
"For one."
"Five hundred taels for one? Why doesn’t he go rob someone?" These animals were precious in her former life, but they were quite common in this ancient era. How could they be so expensive?
"Go tell him, five hundred taels for all of them! I’ll add at most another hundred taels!" Yang Chuxia spoke to the servant again.
A moment later, the servant returned and reported, "Madam, he wants to add two hundred taels. Otherwise, he says he won’t sell at all."
"Mommy!"
"Mommy!"
Seeing her contemplating, both dumplings started wailing, each pulling on her arm.
"Alright, alright, if it’s two hundred taels, then two hundred taels it is. I’ll buy them," she turned to Mingcui and said, "Go with him to pay the silver. After the purchase, send the goods back to the manor."
"Yes, Madam."
"Are you satisfied now?" Yang Chuxia pinched the cheeks of her two sons, "Each one of you is a spendthrift gentleman, just like your father."
"Hehe," Yangyang laughed slyly.
Lele, however, smiled with slightly less enthusiasm.
Initially, buying a few pets was not a big deal to Yang Chuxia, but she didn’t expect that these pets would bring her a bit of trouble.
When it was almost noon, Yang Chuxia took her two children out from a bookstore, having picked a few books for Lele, and then, as Yangyang complained of hunger, she took them to eat at Judentower.
But before they even entered Judentower, they were stopped by a group of household guards.
"Young Master, look, it’s them, they’re the ones who stole my monkey," Yang Chuxia recognized the man as the one from whom she had bought the animals.
Yang Chuxia raised her eyebrows at the group, what was going on, was she being scammed?
"It was you who stole my monkey?" The one called Young Master spoke up, his voice sounded lazy, and there was a glint in his eyes as he looked at Yang Chuxia.
"Not knowing how to read is one thing, but at least you should know how to talk," Yang Chuxia said indifferently, "The animals that I bought for seven hundred taels have somehow become stolen goods in your mouth? If you can’t comprehend the difference between stealing and buying, then go home and learn properly."
Having said that, she ignored them and asked Yangyang and Lele, "What do you want to eat? Judentower here belongs to the same owner as the one in our town, they have all the dishes."
"Mom, I want to eat suckling pig slices." Yangyang said, raising his little hand.
After thinking for a moment, Lele said, "I want to eat ’Ham and Bamboo Shoot Tips’."
"Alright, let’s go with that then."
Seeing that Yang Chuxia and her children completely disregarded them, the faces of those who had come turned dark.
"Hey, you stole my monkey and still you’re thinking of dining? Dream on. Stop them. No one is allowed to enter," the leader commanded.
"I’ll say it again, I bought them," Yang Chuxia glared at the person coming forward and said, "You’d better let them get out of my way, or don’t blame me for not being polite."
"Oh, listen to that, listen to her threatening me. Do you even know who I am to be talking big?" He brandished a feather fan ostentatiously despite the cold weather to show off his style, "Even the Luo Family’s Second Young Master is someone you can threaten?"
Upon hearing the Luo Family, Yang Chuxia wondered, could it really be Old Mu’s Luo Family?
Before she could ponder further, the Second Young Master spoke again, "Of those pets of mine, not to mention the others, just one monkey cost me fifteen hundred taels, and it was bought from another country. Yet you bought all my animals for seven hundred taels; how is that not stealing?"
To those unaware of the situation, it might indeed seem as if Yang Chuxia had stolen the other party’s monkey.
