Originally, Liu Shimei had planned to spend 100 taels of silver, just to test the waters.
No choice, even though in this era she was considered 'wealthy', she was not 'extravagant' at all. The hardships of her past life had molded her into a careful spender.
When it was time to spend, she spared no expense. Whatever amount was needed, she was willing to splurge. But when it was time to save, she wouldn't squander a penny.
The situation at the Pavilion of Six Paths and Eight Directions was unclear. She intended to spend 100 taels to get some information, but to her surprise, her brother was so generous, offering 1,000 taels without a second thought!
Truly a noble young master, unaware of the value of money until managing a household!
She wanted to protest, but Liang Yi had already taken a yellow incense thread, lit three sticks, and inserted them into the censer. It was too late to object now!
