Guo Zidi saw her look of alarm and hurried forward to cover her mouth, "Cousin! What are you doing? I sought you out specifically to avoid others hearing this news."
"You want to kill me! Where would I get three hundred thousand taels?"
Guo Yuqi gave him a sideways glance, having no intention to part with so much silver.
Although the clothing shop could net her one hundred thousand taels of silver a year, the Ji Mansion had upwards of a hundred mouths to feed, all of whom needed clothing, food, housing, and transportation, all of which incurred expenses.
As for the silver she had stashed away privately, it was only four hundred thousand taels.
Suddenly being asked to cough up three hundred thousand, she'd rather die than agree.
Upon seeing that her expression did not turn to furious anger but merely gave him a sideways glance,
Guo Zidi felt delighted. Ever since she was young, this cousin of his had always been best at hoarding silver!
