Chapter 117: Huge Wealth

Liu Shimci smiled faintly and said, “Not much.”
She took a step to the side and said, “Three shops on Vermilion Bird Avenue, five shops outside the City God Temple, and the deed to Peach Blossom Mountain. I don’t know which shop my father will give me, but I hope it will be three connected shops.”
These were nothing to the Liu family. Even if there was an Almond Villa on Peach Blossom Mountain, it was not impossible to give the dowry to the eldest daughter who married into the Prince’s Mansion as a Princess.
Therefore, Liu Fuyun did not have any reaction.
However!
“Besides, I heard that my father bought a mine in the southwest region of the dynasty a few years ago. I want that mine!” Liu Shimei said before he could say anything.
“What did you say?” How could Liu Fuyun remain calm?
It was a gold mine and a small jade mine. It was a huge fortune!
She actually said that she wasn’t asking for an exorbitant price?
“As the saying goes,” Liu Shimei said calmly, “Spending money to eliminate disaster! It didn’t matter if his father couldn’t bear to part with that mine. Then he wouldn’t be the Country Lord. The position of the Country Lord might not belong to you in the first place. It wasn’t yours in the first place, so it can’t be said that you lost it!”
Liu Fuyun was so angry that he wanted to strangle her on the spot!
“Liu Shimei! You’re becoming more and more shameless! Do you still have the face to lose your reputation?”
Liu Shimei’s eyes suddenly turned cold, “Father, don’t forget that the person who caused this situation was Liu Yan’er! If she didn’t scheme against me, I might have already received the imperial edict to be bestowed with the title of Crown Princess Consort! The person who caused you to lose your status as the Country Lord is, in the end, the daughter you’re protecting now!”
When he heard the words ‘Crown Princess Consort,’ Huangfu Lingyao’s expression immediately turned ugly. He looked at Liu Shimei with resentment.
Liu Shimei knew that he would be jealous, so she gave him a look to tell him to calm down.
The silly puppy probably knew that the situation was not suitable for fooling around, so he really listened to her. Although he was unwilling, he was obedient.
Liu Fuyun’s expression was extremely ugly.
That’s right!
Liu Yan’er was the one who caused him to fall into this state. Did he not understand? Did he not hate her? But now, Liu Yan’er could not fall!
Not only could he not punish Liu Yan’er, she was also his only hope!
With a second daughter becoming the Crown Princess now and the Empress in the future, the entire Liu family would rise with the tide and reach the peak. This was something that would last for thousands of generations!
As the clan leader, Liu Fuyun knew what choice he should make. He gritted his teeth and said, “As long as you get that ore mine, this matter will be over and you won’t mention it again?”
“In front of my grandfather and uncles, I promise: After receiving the hush money, I will forget about what happened that night!” Liu Shimei agreed decisively.
However, in her heart, she thought, ‘That night’s incident is over, but that doesn’t mean Liu Yan’er won’t come and provoke me again! You better control her so she doesn’t bite people. If I can’t hold her tail, of course I can’t do anything. The past was settled, but the future will be settled in the future!’
Liu Yan’er was vicious, but her intelligence was not enough to match her viciousness. So, why would she not come and provoke Liu Shimei?
Ha!
Everyone was going as expected — just wait and see!
Although Liu Fuyun felt sorry for the mine, he had no choice but to give it up for the future of the Liu family. Of course, after losing this mine, he would definitely think of a way to earn it back in the future!
Moreover, Liu Shimei was arrogant now. He would take care of her sooner or later!
So what if she had the Liang family protecting her? In the future, when she married into the King Dun Yu’s Residence, as long as Liu Yan’er could become the Crown Princess, would she not have a chance to get the mine back?
With such an idea in mind, he made a decisive decision. “Alright, then follow me back to the Grand Chancellor’s Residence today!”
“Give me all the deeds I want today?” Liu Shimei asked about the matter first.
Liu Fuyun gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll give it all to you!”
Liu Shimei still did not believe him. She turned to her uncles and said, “Shimei has never seen the big world and doesn’t know much about the title deed of a house. Can I trouble any Uncle to accompany Shimei?”
Liu Fuyun almost bit his teeth!
She was clearly not trusting him and was afraid that he would tamper with the title deed!
