Chapter 1176 - 085 Dissatisfaction (fourth update)
Regarding Miss Han, who was truly timid, Lin Yuan was at a loss for words and chose to ignore her. Turning to the onlookers, Lin Yuan declared, "Furthermore, if my sister did indeed find Miss Han’s hairpin and failed to produce it, causing all the young ladies present to be implicated, that too would be our family’s fault. I am willing to compensate everyone present with a set of gold hair ornaments. I, Lin Yuan, always keep my word and will absolutely not go back on it!"
A set of gold hair ornaments for each person? If it were just compensating Miss Han alone, it would at most cost more than a hundred taels of silver, but a set for everyone present? There must be over twenty people here!
Everyone seemed to see heaps of silver flying before them, though some shrewder individuals immediately retorted, "How much silver would that be? Would Old Master Lin and Madam Lin agree? Surely Miss Lin isn’t just amusing herself at our expense?"
Lin Yuan laughed, "Why would I? It’s just a few thousand taels of silver, after all. There’s absolutely no need to report to my parents, I can produce it myself!"
At these words, everyone was astounded. If Lin Yuan could produce it herself, that meant it was her own private silver! To everyone present, a young unmarried girl who could casually produce thousands of taels of silver was the epitome of wealth!
Yet, there was something even more astonishing.
Rolling her eyes at Cheng Yuexiu, Xiao Linshuang loudly said, "Big sister, there’s no need for you to pay; I have my own money!"
Lin Wei also smirked, breaking away from her usual frail demeanor, and declared loudly, "As the youngest, how can I let you pay? Big sister, even if we were to be searched for that troublesome hairpin, not just one set of hair ornaments per person, I Lin Wei can produce two sets! What’s so difficult about a few thousand taels of silver?"
