She still believed that the set of jewelry was worth fourteen thousand taels, because after counting the silver Ye Zi'an had, she figured that was all he could afford. Thirty thousand taels was absolutely impossible.
Then there must be some other reason.
"Wife, the seven-colored butterfly set really did cost fourteen thousand taels," Ye Zi'an immediately assured her.
"I know it's fourteen thousand taels. I'm asking why others paid thirty thousand while you only paid fourteen." As she spoke, her little hand started to reach for Ye Zi'an's ear again, "Hmph, don't think you can fool me. I always know exactly how much silver you have."
Ye Zi'an typically didn't carry silver on him at home, only taking a purse prepared by Yang Chuxia when he left the house. The silver in the purse was placed there by her, and she also managed the family finances. How could she not know how much silver Ye Zi'an had?
