237 General, Do You Understand My Intentions?!

When Lin Suisui rushed into Pei Zhaoyue’s main courtyard under the protection of Bai Guo and the others, Pei Zhaoyue was sitting in the main hall while teaching the group of women kneeling at the back of the general’s residence a lesson.

Seeing Yuan Niang walk in with her head held high, Pei Zhaoyue was stunned. When she reacted and was about to call someone to teach Yuan Niang a lesson, Lin Suisui had already walked in with Bai Guo and the others. “Long time no see, Madam Pei!”

“How did you come in?!” At this moment, Pei Zhaoyue couldn’t care less about the cocky woman who had just entered. She watched in shock as Lin Suisui and the others entered her territory.

After watching for a long time, Pei Zhaoyue turned around and shouted at the servant, “What’s going on? How did they get in? Are the guards guarding outside all dead? Hurry up and get someone to chase them away… No, take them down. I want to punish this b*tch severely! Go!”

However, no one dared to do anything. After all, in front of an unsheathed blade, verbal threats were useless!

“Of course I came in through the door of your general’s residence. Oh, right, I came in by carriage!” Lin Suisui raised her chin slightly and walked around the kneeling women on the ground to sit on a round chair at the side.

She smiled as she looked at Pei Zhaoyue, who looked enraged. Then, she tidied her sleeves and continued, “Madam, I’m here to ask for money today!”

“What money?!” Pei Zhaoyue gritted her teeth and glared at Lin Suisui in anger. “Let me tell you, you’d better get out now!

“My brother is the dignified Marquis Ning Yuan! My sister is…”

“Stop! I know that your family is illustrious and that Mr. Pei, who is getting rid of corruption in the north, is your nephew! But so what?!

You know very well where the disaster relief money went all these years. I don’t want much. You have to give up 10,000 taels of silver today!

Knowing that you don’t want to see me, I actually don’t want to stay here for long!

Since the two of us hate each other, why don’t you be more straightforward? Give me 10,000 taels of silver and I’ll leave immediately after taking the money. I won’t stay any longer to cause trouble for you!”

Lin Suisui felt a little impatient when she heard Pei Zhaoyue’s boastful words. She waved her hand and interrupted her rudely.

“Ten thousand taels of silver?! Are you crazy?!” Pei Zhaoyue gasped and stared at Lin Suisui in shock. For so many years she had been in the north, no, it should be since she was young, she had been the only one who asked others for silver. Who dared to ask her for silver?!

And she even demanded 10,000 taels!

“Whether I’m crazy or not, you have to pay this money today!” Lin Suisui replied slowly. At the same time, she seemed to have thought of something and turned to instruct Bai Guo, who was beside her, “Go, get someone to pay a visit to the general who stabilizes the north! Tell him about what happened here. At the same time, ask him what to do if his wife is unwilling to fork out this money!”

“How dare you be so arrogant?! Aren’t you afraid that I’ll look for my nephew and let him…”

Before Pei Zhaoyue could finish threatening her, she was interrupted by Lin Suisui’s laughter. She looked at Pei Zhaoyue, whose expression was livid, with disdain and said, “Madam, why don’t I bet with you?!”

“Go and report this matter to Mr. Pei. If he’s willing to help you, I’ll fork out 10,000 taels of silver for you!”

Pei Zhaoyue was so angry that her entire body was trembling. She pointed at Lin Suisui and trembled for a long time before turning around and grabbing the teacup on the table beside her. She turned around and was about to smash it at Lin Suisui.

However, she had only raised her hand when Su Le had already taken a step forward and unsheathed his long saber. Pei Zhaoyue was so frightened that her hand trembled and the teacup smashed her foot. She cried out in pain and fell onto the round chair not far behind her…

Seeing this, the servants at the side didn’t dare to delay. They quickly scrambled over to comfort and attend to Pei Zhaoyue. For a moment, there was a big commotion. The originally quiet hall was even more chaotic and noisy than the market.

Lin Suisui wasn’t in a hurry. She held a handkerchief and slowly folded a little origami rat. Then, she held it in her palm and looked at it before continuing, “Madam, no matter how much you cry and make a fuss, you have to give me money today!

I can’t stay here and accompany you forever! How about this? From now on, for every ten minutes you delay, you have to fork out an additional 10,000 taels of silver!

You’re very rich anyway. It’s just tens of thousands of taels of silver. Madam, you might not be able to afford it, but the general can!”

Pei Zhaoyue pretended not to know. She sat on the round chair and covered her face without saying anything! She couldn’t win against Lin Suisui in an argument, and she didn’t dare to do anything either!

However, she didn’t believe that this woman in front of her would really dare to ask her husband for money!

However, her certainty and anticipation vanished when Gao Xuwei was carried in by Lu Ze in a sack. She stared at Gao Xuwei, who was thrown into the middle of a group of women. For the first time, she began to seriously wonder if she had married the wrong person!

“General, many people both inside and outside the city have been affected by the snow disaster. Without money, they probably won’t be able to survive the year!

Since I’m in charge of this matter, I have to handle it properly!

As you know, I’ve just arrived in the north and this is the first time I’ve taken over such a thing. There’s bound to be a situation that I fail to handle well! Therefore, after thinking about it, the safest way is to prepare more money!

This way, even if I made a mistake, it would be easy to make up for it!

However, your wife is unwilling to fork out a single cent for such a good deed!

What should we do?!”

Lin Suisui looked at Gao Xuwei, who was trembling in front of his wife and concubines. She lamented, “Aren’t you making things difficult for me?!

You know that I’m a straightforward person. If this isn’t handled well, I definitely won’t be happy! If I’m unhappy, I naturally have to find something to vent my anger on!

It’s almost the new year, so I don’t want to make everyone unhappy! Isn’t it good for all of us to spend the new year peacefully? Why do we have to go through so much trouble?! It’s just 10,000 taels of silver. The general is so rich, so there’s no need to be so stingy!

“General, do you understand what I mean?!”
