Madam Wang's chest heaved violently. After a long while, she instructed Granny Shi aggrievedly, "Go and get 4,000 taels of silver."
Granny Shi received the order and went into the inner room to retrieve the banknotes. Granny He's lips curled up, and her eyes couldn't hide the smugness.
In just ten minutes, Nanny He left Ming Yi Courtyard with a wooden box in her hand and four banknotes and a thousand taels in her arms.
When Granny He walked out of the courtyard, she happened to pass by a maidservant in green who was in a hurry.
After a while, the green-robed maidservant arrived in front of Madam Wang through layers of communication and reported, "Second Madam, the Second Lady just got someone to send some deeds to the Fourth and Fifth Madams."
Madam Wang held a pink enamel teacup and took a slow sip. She mocked coldly, "This girl from the countryside is really greedy for money."
"How much did she receive from the fourth and fifth branches?"
