Chapter 25
I want to be a hedonistic daughter of rich parents
Pft! Three million! And also in gold!
Even if all of them worked their assesof for a whole three months, they still can't reach that kind of amount, letalone three days.
Mu Qian Xi, making such conditions istruly crazy ah! It is way better for her if she directly agreed on theirrequest to cut her allowance.
The Great Elder frown, he keeps havingthis feeling that it's not so simple. “What if the Lord succeeds?"
"If I do succeed, the elders will onlyget ten silver taels per month and I will have the absolute authority of the MuJia."
“Hiss!” The crowd took abreath of cold air.
Mu Qian not only want to use this betto suppress them, but also wanted to remove their rights.
The Great Elder assumed. “It isnot fair, if the Lord sells the Mu Jia's properties to earn those three milliongold taels."
Mu Qian looked at him like she saw an idiotand repeated. "I already told you, I will earn three million gold taels inthree days. Naturally, I will not use any Mu Jia's properties and will only doit by myself. With this answer, Great Elder, are you satisfied?"
The Great Elder racked his brainthinking what does Mu Qian Xi was going to do in order to earn the three million.He'd thought about it for a long time.
“If the Lord is going to exchangethe elixir that the old Lord has left behind for money, then forget this deal!”"
"Great Elder, do you have amnesia? Myfather indeed left the Immortality Elixirs to me, but your preciousgranddaughters, Mu Ruyan and Mu Ruyun took some of it away, a big part of ithas become a dowry that was put in the Imperial Treasury, I don’t have anyprivate goods left!"
He still isn't satisfied as he added. "Whatif the Lord asked for help to the Third Master?"
“Rest assured, earning threemillion gold taels is not a problem for this Lord. I don't need to trouble myLittle Uncle with small matters like this.” Mu Qian said confidently.
No one will believe on everything she'dsaid. Even the nonchalant Ninth Elder doesn't believe that a single person canput together so much money in such a short period of time.
In addition to the Third Master, Noone in the capital would loan her money especially with that ridiculous amount.She also had no elixirs left to use.
The Great Elder measured in his heartfor a moment, and finally made up his mind.
This little girl is getting bolder, butalso too arrogant and complacent. Shegot on her high horse and tried to gamble with them. But in the end she stillremained foolish.
It seems that he overstated her; itlooks like she only has her arrogance when making this bet.
TheGreat Elder coughed and said. "Since the Lord had made her decision, then let'sgamble! But in order for the Lord not to back out, let's make a contract!"
Because of Mu Qian's unforeseen andshameless acts before, the Great Elder that has always been cautious absolutelywouldn't let her get any upper hand.
Mu Qian smiled and just said. "Sure!"
The old man did not mention anything anymore;Mu Qian wrote down the letter under the eyes of everyone and closed the dealwith the Mu Jia's seal!
The elders also enclosed it with theirown seal, if someone refused to acknowledge this bet; it is tantamount to betraying the wholefamily.
The pit has been dug; all she needs todo is wait for the old man to bury himself alive!
Mu Qian yawned and said. “Sinceit’s all right, then this Lord will go back to my quarters to take a nap!”
Looking at the perfect back walkingaway, the Great Elder suddenly felt a turn of events will happen.
If the Lord loses, she can spend less.
But if they lose, not only the money,they will even lose their rights.
This bet is not fair at all, but hejust thought that it's impossible for the Lord to do it, so he decided to ignoreit instead.
With the Great Elder's rigorousschemes and deep foresight, he would not believe that he will fall to the pitdug by himself easily. If he himself can't earn three million then it isabsolutely impossible for a little girl like Mu Qian Xi.
Three days later, Mu Qian's expenseswill not be limited; all the rights regarding the Mu Jia will fall on her. Shewill finally be the true Lord of this clan.
As long as the Third Master remainedin the clan, they dare not have the illusion to be the Lord. But they weretired of being trampled on by a silly little girl.
After a late nap, someone came andreported to Mu Qian. “Little Master, Third Master asked you to come.”
“Uncle asked for me?"
Mu Qian hurriedly walked to Wu YouCourtyard, in the bamboo forest she saw the white figure, she grabbed his handsand looked at him worriedly. "Did you take your medicine?”
Mu Wushuang shook his head and with agentle voice he said. "With the Little Overlord commanding, how will thisLittle Uncle dare not obey?"
"Hah! At least you know!" Mu Qian nodded.
Mu Qian approached to the side of MuWushuang and asked: “Little Uncle must've know what happened today right?"
"Mm, do you need my help?" She only has threedays to earn the three million gold taels, even his eldest brother or anyone inthe Purple Moon can't do that is what he thought.
"I can just throw a few elixirs in thestreet, and then who knows, maybe I'll get lucky enough to get that amount.Little Uncle, I appreciate that you wanted to help me but I can manage it on myown. Don't worry!" Mu Qian calmly said.
Mu Qian praised herself secretly;' this is really a good way ah!'
Her family's uncle is a true blackbelly. Maybe, being a black belly runs in the family.
The elder thought through all kinds ofloopholes and agreed to bet in the end. But he did not think her Little Unclehas countless ways to break that contract without anyone finding out. I'm sure hewould vomit blood.
Mu Qian said. "Little Uncle, since itis me who made this bet. I won't cheat."
"It seems that Xi'er has a solution already?"Mu Wushuang's tone is filled with curiosity.
"Little Uncle, You just need to wait and see!"a sly look appeared on Mu Qian's face.
The two talked for a while, and thenhe suddenly sighed. “Hey, can I ask something!"
He knit his brow and asked. "Xi'er,you're young but how come you're used at making others angry?"
He had always hoped that Xi'er wouldbe happy and free.
MuQian who's currently pushing Mu Wushuang's wheelchair to his room stopped, andsaid. "Little Uncle, in the capital, there are also people the same age as methat is doing this, and this and that. Living their life to the fullest withoutany care what others may say."
"I'm one of the Mu family members, right? Why doeswhen it is my turn to be the Lord, the elders are all making me tired from allof their tricks? They also wanted me to clean up their mess…"
"Xi'er, do you want to leave?" Mu Wushuang interruptedher and asked.
"I don't want to leave, but I'll makesure to live my days here to the fullest in the future! Eat delicious foods,wear whatever I want, I want to experience the life of being a spoiled child! Iwill do my utmost to stop them from getting more power, So Little Uncle, youbetter get well soon. When you're cured, you better let me live the life of asecond generation, Okay!" Mu Qian brightly smiled.
She made up her mind to cure herLittle Uncle quickly for her laid-back days.
MuWushuang's ice cold hands were held by Mu Qian's warm hands. That's right! Xi'eris her favorite little princess then andnow…
Mu Wushuang nodded and patted her head."Little Uncle will get better soon, I will definitely make your wishes cometrue as soon as possible"
Mu Qian holds Mu Wushuang's handtighter and said. "Yup! Let's do that together! When Little Uncle is healthyalready, you have to cover for me!" Mu Qian is extremely glad to have thisLittle Uncle.
Mu Wushuang looked lifeless at mosttime. It is as if the he has no attachmentto the world aside from her!
This is her gurdian, her only relativefor now. She really wants him to live well.
“One day had already passed but Mu Qian still did not go out!? What is she doing?” The Great Elder asked while frowning.
