Chapter 410: Ruthless (2)_1
Hiss, forty-five taels!
The crowd inhaled sharply, their mouths agape. So the daughter of the Tang Family was worth so much. No wonder Mrs. Tang was adamant about selling her—having a daughter who could be traded for two brick and tile houses, who wouldn’t be tempted?
Initially, Mrs. Tang was overjoyed, but soon after, she felt disgruntled. Humph, that Mother Yu was too much. That wretched girl was clearly worth forty-five taels, yet she had only offered twenty-five taels at first, nearly fooling her. Otherwise, she would have lost a grand brick and tile house!
"Mr. Mo, how many taels of silver do you plan to offer?"
Mother Yu looked proudly at Mo Qingze, thoroughly enjoying the thrill of throwing silver at people. That girl could probably fetch fifty taels if sold to a brothel; buying her for forty-five taels would still net a profit of a few taels. It wouldn’t be a wasted trip. But the thought that even if she acquired the girl, she’d have missed out on twenty taels made her heart ache.
However, if this person, who was blocking her path to riches, offered more than she did and bled heavily for it, that would be satisfying. Even if she didn’t get the girl, she could vent her frustration. With this thought, her mood improved slightly.
Mo Qingze was unaware of her scheming and extended one finger.
"One hundred taels?"
