The Xia family was nearly driven to madness when Xia Jiang came knog.

  Inside a private room of a tavern, Xia Shi said with a stern face, "Why did you call me out this time?"

  Xia Jiang, feeling guilty, forced a smile and said, "Sister, it’s not that I wa you into this, but I had no choice. I sold the house and the good nd, but si was an urgent sale, I was forced to sell it at a lower priow there's no money left for the Drunken Immortal Pavilion."

  Xia Shi replied, "Sihe money has been paid back, why call me out for this?"

  With a sorrowful expression, Xia Jiang said, "Isn't it because of your useless nephew? He owes tens of thousands of taels to the gambling house, and if he ’t pay, they’ll take his hands! Sister, please save Wencai; he’s the only heir of our Xia family!"

  Xia Shi's face darkened with anger.

  "Brother, it’s not that I don’t want to help, but you’ve already borrowed fifty or sixty thousand taels from me. How I still have silver left? I told you to manage roperly. He’s going down a dangerous path, but you refused to listen. Now look where we are!"

  Xia Jiang nodded repeatedly. "Yes, yes, I aowledge my fault this time, but it’s e to this. We ’t really let him lose his hands, we?"

  Xia Shi stood up and coldly stated, "This time, I genuinely have no money. Sell your house to save your son’s hands!"

  Having said that, she started to walk out.

  "Sister! You ’t be so heartless! Where will I live if I sell my house?"

  "I don't care about that!"

  "Are y to break our retionship?!" Xia Jiang half-threatened.

  Xia Shi gritted her teeth; she felt like she was standing at the edge of a bottomless pit!

  Turning around, she looked at Xia Jiang.

  Xia Jiang's eyes held a mix of pleading and threat.

  Xia Shi sighed. Until she figured out a perma solution, she couldn’t afford to break ties with him.

  "I truly ’t provide money right now. How about this: tomorrow we’ll go to Huguo Temple. You have Wencai e too, but he shouldn’t show up until I give the signal."

  Xia Jiang looked at her in fusion. "What does that mean?"

  "Don't ask so many questions. If it works out, you’ll have endless silver!"

  Upon hearing this, Xia Jiang nodded and said, "Alright, I’ll follow your lead!"

  Xia Shi hurriedly returned home, wearing her veil.

  Once ba her room, she was so furious that she swept everything off the table onto the floor.

  "Lowly creatures! They are all lowly creatures!"

  These bloodsuckers were holding onto her weaknesses, determio drain her dry!

  Looking at her refle in the mirror, Xia Shi suddenly burst into a sinister ugh.

  She used to care about the remnants of kinship, but now that little affe had been worn away. All she wanted was to send that family to hell!

  She dismissed her attendants and walked to her bed, where she pulled out a small box from uhe mattress.

  Opening it revealed a box full of silver notes.

  Xia Shi caressed the his was all the wealth she had left.

  With this money, she would send that family to hell!!

  Ohe pn was plete tomorrow and she ruined Su Li, it would be the end for that family!

  "Brother, don’t bme me! You forced my hand! Hahaha..."

  Outside the door, a maid heard the ughter inside a a chill run down her spine.

  Su Li was in her room practig her calligraphy; ever since she was young, she found so writing when her mind was restless.

  Si Qin entered and said, "Miss, the madam sent someoo say we’ll be leaving early tomorrow fuo Temple."

  Su Li raised an eyebrow a her brush down.

  "So soon? Is Su Yue better?"

  Si Qin walked over to tidy the desk and replied, "She’s probably almost recovered. I just saw Liu Er helping the sed young miss take a walk in the garden."

  Su Li smiled, "What resilience! Just a few days, and she walk already."

  Si Qin added, "I heard it was the master who went to the pace to ask the court physis for medie."

  Su Li was momentarily taken abad sighed, "Well, father still treats her like a daughter."

  This statement puzzled Si Qin. "What do you mean by that?"

  Snapping back to reality, Su Li said, "You three o be more vigint tomorrow. Pay attention to any as from Yu Qi."

  These days, Su Li had deliberately been ign Yu Qi, who was getting closer with that side.

  Everyoiced but pretended not to.

  "Yes, Miss, don’t worry."
