After a long while, First Master finally came back to his senses. His eyes widened as he glared at Tang Li and gritted his teeth. “You might as well rob a bank!”
Tang Li smiled. Her smile was especially annoying. “Robbing a bank is illegal, but making a deal with you is not.”
First Master’s face twisted. Just as he was about to speak, Second Master said, “First Brother, with this money, you can hire a couple of masters already.”
Second Master had always disliked Tang Li. If not for the fact that this woman had a jinxing mouth, he would have asked his dog to teach her a lesson. Now that he heard her ask for so much, he disliked her even more, so he made this suggestion.
Third Master also felt that Tang Li was going a little overboard. They were family, so shouldn’t she help with this kind of thing? Did she really think money would fall from the sky like that? Just as he was about to say something, Third Madam, who had walked to his side, stopped him.
Third Master turned to look at Third Madam.
Third Madam reminded him in a low voice, “Zhenhe, stop talking.”
She didn’t want her family to get involved in this. It was not wrong for Tang Li to ask for money. If First Brother and the others did not want to agree, then so be it. It had nothing to do with their family.
Third Master thought for a moment and stopped talking.
When First Master heard Second Master’s words, he finally remembered that he could hire masters. There were many masters in the Imperial Capital. He would send someone tomorrow morning to invite a few famous masters.
At this thought, he chased Tang Li away rudely. “I hope Fourth Sister-in-law can get rich as soon as possible, but not from me. You’re free to go now.”
Tang Li did not mind it at all. She only grumbled, “If you want to ask me for help in the future, think about whether you can afford it or not. Otherwise, I’ll get angry if you make me come all the way here in the middle of the night for nothing.”
With that, she turned around and left with Butler Yang.
The moment Tang Li left, Third Madam tugged at Third Master. “Zhenhe, didn’t you say that you’re going on a business trip to Lin City tomorrow? Why don’t we go back to sleep too? Otherwise, you can’t wake up tomorrow?”
Third Master was indeed tired and sleepy, so he said to First Master, “First Brother, I’ll go and rest too. If you guys are worried, why don’t you stay in the ancestral hall tonight? The Qi family’s ancestors will protect you from the ghosts.”
First Master nodded with a straight face, and Third Master left with his wife and children.
Second Master and Second Madam chatted with them for a while before leaving.
After everyone left, the people in First Master’s house did not dare to sleep anymore.
First Master said, “Pack your things. We’ll stay in the ancestral hall tonight.”
…
When Tang Li woke up the next day, Qi Yihan had already gotten out of bed. Linlin was lying by the bed.
Linlin was wearing a pink tutu dress today and had two buns on her head. She looked especially cute.
At that moment, she was lying by the bed looking at Tang Li. When Tang Li opened her eyes, Linlin immediately smiled brightly at her. “Godmother, you’re awake.”
Tang Li tried to get used to being called godmother, but she still felt that it was a little strange. She said, “Just call me godmother when people are around. I’m really not used to you calling me that.”
Linlin giggled. “Yes, Master.”
Tang Li got up and asked as she walked to the bathroom, “When did you come in? Where’s Yihan?”
Linlin stood by the bathroom door and looked up at Tang Li as she washed up. “First Master went to his brother’s house. I’ve been here for ten minutes.”
After brushing her teeth, Tang Li asked, “When did he go there?”
“Half an hour ago.”
As Tang Li washed her face, she was thinking about how First Master would complain to Qi Yihan about her asking him for five million last night. As she thought about it, she smiled.
After washing her face, Tang Li walked to the door and touched the bun on Linlin’s head. She asked, “Who made your hair? It looks good.”
“It’s Uncle Zhang.” Linlin grinned and touched the other bun. “Uncle Zhang learned it online. He said that he will give me a different hairstyle every day and buy me many beautiful head accessories.”
Tang Li smiled as well. She walked over and combed her hair before the two of them walked out of the bedroom.
Tang Li asked as she walked, “Where’s Qiqi?”
“He’s playing Tai Chi with Uncle Zhang in the courtyard.”
“Pfft…”
The two of them walked out and saw the little boy, who was not even one meter tall, standing behind Butler Zhang, who was 1.8 meters tall. It was comical the way the little boy did Tai Chi.
At this moment, Butler Zhang and Qiqi saw her and stopped at the same time.
“Madam.”
“Master.”
Tang Li nodded and said, “You guys continue. I’ll go to see First Madam.”
With that, she walked out.
Linlin did not follow her. Instead, she stood there and said to Tang Li, “Master, come back with First Master quickly. I’m hungry.”
When Butler Zhang heard that Linlin was hungry, he immediately said, “Miss Linlin, why didn’t you tell me you were hungry? Let’s go. I’ll take you to the kitchen to see if there’s anything to eat. Let’s eat first.”
“Yay.”
When Tang Li arrived, First Master was saying angrily, “Fourth Brother, do you think this is something a family member should say? Your sister-in-law was so scared last night, but your wife actually wanted to use this opportunity to rip us off.”
Qi Yihan’s voice was calm but powerful. “Family is one thing, and money is another thing.”
“Ha! I knew you guys were the same, so I’ve already gotten someone to get a master this morning. When you go back, tell Fourth Sister-in-law that no matter what happens in the future, we will not ask her for help.”
“First Master, keep in mind what you just said,” Tang Li said as she walked in.
Tang Li pretended not to see everyone and walked over to sit beside Qi Yihan.
First Master glared at Tang Li for a few seconds. Then he snorted and looked at Qi Yihan, saying sarcastically, “Fourth Brother, what a terrific wife you married.”
“Thank you for your compliment, Brother. I think I’m a terrific wife too.”
“Humph!”
Qi Yihan held Tang Li’s hand and stood up to say to First Master, “First Brother, let’s go to the Ruyi Hall for a meal this morning. I have something to announce to everyone.”
“What is it?” First Master subconsciously felt that Qi Yihan wanted to settle the score with them again, so he immediately became vigilant.
Qi Yihan did not say anything and left with Tang Li.
First Master glared at the two of them and gritted his teeth.
In the Ruyi Hall.
This morning, Fourth Master informed everyone to come over for breakfast.
When Second Madam came in and saw that Third Madam was already there, she immediately sat beside her and said, “Why do you think Fourth Brother suddenly called us here for breakfast?”
