After being reborn, I stole the female lead's cheat ability and raised the empress.

Chapter 73 Your mother wants the Golden Jade Hall to change hands

Ali still couldn't leave.

Xia Yi suddenly knocked on the door anxiously: "Master, something has happened at Jin Yu Man Tang, you must go and see!"

Xia Li quickly exited his cultivation state and rushed towards Jin Yu Man Tang, asking as he went, "What happened?"

"Hmm...this..." Xia Yi gritted her teeth and said resolutely, "Your mother plans to have Xia Wanwan receive the Golden Jade Hall!"

Xia Li was stunned. Her mother actually wanted to take her daughter's things. It was truly a shameful thing to talk about!

……

When they arrived at Jin Yu Man Tang, the area was crowded with onlookers. Cui Fang Shu and Xia Wan Wan were selecting dowry items!

The carriages at the gate were all full!

Upon seeing her arrive, Cui Fangshu glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. Xia Wanwan, however, walked up to her excitedly: "Sister, you've managed such a large and prosperous business so well, it must be so hard—but you don't need to do that anymore..."

As Ali walked, she said, "What's so hard about running my own shop?"

"Sister, you probably don't know, but I'm already the owner of this Golden Jade Hall. How about I give you a 10% discount when you come to the shop in the future?"

Ah!

Why is your face so big? It's like a bathtub!

Xia Li replied nonchalantly, "How come I didn't know that this Golden Jade Hall had become yours?"

Xia Wanwan didn't seem angry at all; she just playfully linked arms with Cui Fangshu, saying, "Mother..."

Xia Li's eyes were full of mockery: "Oh, you two are inseparable again?" Didn't you two do *that* before? Aren't you afraid of being embarrassed?

Cui Fangshu looked slightly awkward, but still said, "This Golden Jade Hall will belong to her from now on."

"Oh? How come I didn't know that?"

Cui Fangshu said irritably, "Now you know."

Xia Li leaned against the pillar, emphasizing her words: "Perhaps I wasn't clear enough just now. Let me repeat myself, Madam Cui, what gives you the right?"

Upon hearing the words "Madam Cui," Cui Fangshu instantly flared up: "What? By what right? This was originally the property of my Marquis's mansion. Of course, I can give it to whomever I want!"

"Really? Then where's the land deed? Show it to me."

The land deed is with Yu Yang, and they absolutely cannot produce it.

Cui Fangshu knew she couldn't produce the land deed, and seeing Xia Li's ambiguous smile, she became even angrier: "What? This lady can't make decisions? Let me tell you, according to the laws of this country, the property of children belongs to their parents."

A-Li chuckled lightly: "If I don't give it to you, are you going to steal it? Helping your concubine's daughter to steal from your own daughter? Madam Cui truly lives up to her title as the matriarch of the household~"

"you……"

People around them were talking amongst themselves. Perhaps feeling ashamed, Cui Fangshu pulled Xia Wanwan along and started to walk away.

Xia Wanwan lagged a few steps behind: "Sister, you don't think you can keep Jin Yu Man Tang this way, do you?"

Looking at her, Xia Li's usually calm eyes suddenly showed a hint of genuine emotion.

She was genuinely getting impatient. "What exactly are you trying to say?"

"My dear sister, you never expected this, did you? Everything you've painstakingly planned was actually a stepping stone for me!"

After saying that, Xia Wanwan laughed and left.

Xia Li had no time to pay attention to her and ordered, "The goods on the carriage at the gate are not allowed to be moved. Send someone to investigate what happened. Also, Xia Wanwan is not allowed to set foot in Jin Yu Man Tang from now on!"

Xia Yi quickly figured out the whole story.

It turned out that Xia Wanwan had somehow found out that she was the owner of this Golden Jade Hall, so she half-forced and half-begged Cui Fangshu to give it to her.

Because Xia Wanwan had saved Cui Fangshu's life, Cui Fangshu felt guilty and agreed.

The two reconciled as a result.

Xia Li's face grew darker and darker as she listened.

Good guy!

I'll only be gone for a short while, and they dare to covet my wealth?

What right do you have to use the debt of saving my life to blackmail me?

No, you want to repay Cui Fangshu's life-saving grace with my things?

And Cui Fangshu too, if you feel guilty, then use the shop I worked so hard to build to compensate the other party.

Why not say that Xia Wanwan was trained by Cui Fangshu? This shameless idea is exactly the same.

Is the world crazy or am I crazy?

This isn't the way to present something you've borrowed!

In any case, Jin Yu Man Tang is her lifeblood, and she will absolutely not let go of it.

Xia Wanwan, I haven't even come after you for the time you tried to kill me, and now you want my money? I can't stand it!

Since that's the case, don't blame her for being impolite!

Since the key point is the life-saving grace, what if Xia Wanwan didn't have this life-saving grace?

Ah Li silently prayed in her heart, "Jin tide, I need a lost prescription."

【Alright! My dearest master~】

"..."

Xia Li returned to the Marquis of Beiliang's residence in the evening, and to her surprise, Cui Fangshu and Xia Wanwan were still sitting in the main hall.

Upon seeing her, Cui Fangshu said irritably, "Give me the land deed." If it weren't for the land deed, who would want to see her and suffer for nothing!

Xia Li remained calm, slowly walked to the table, picked up a cup of tea and drank it. After finishing, she sat down and leisurely ate some snacks.

"Sister, what are you doing? Mother is asking you a question! How can you be so disrespectful to your elders?" Xia Wanwan's gloating was barely concealed.

Cui Fangshu also had a hint of anger on her face. This daughter of hers was really a handful!

However, considering that she had taken something from someone else, it was normal for her to be unhappy, so she decided to be more tolerant. With that thought, Cui Fangshu's tightly furrowed brows relaxed, and Xia Wanwan wisely refrained from further provocation.

Xia Li continued eating as if nothing had happened. Only when the two grew impatient did she slowly speak, "Why does Madam Cui want my 'Golden Jade Abundance'? Is it because you saved Xia Wanwan's life?"

"Since you know, then hurry up and take it out..." Perhaps out of guilt, Cui Fangshu added, "I will make it up to you."

"I suppose Madam Cui is trying to repay this life-saving debt?"

"nonsense!"

"This life-saving grace should be properly repaid..." Xia Li said meaningfully, "I just wonder, Madam Cui, to what extent can you repay it?"

Just then, Xia Jingwen entered, his brow twitching slightly: "What are you talking about?"

Why call her Madam Cui? Shouldn't she be called Madam Xia? No, no, his sister has completely lost faith in their mother, and he's still agonizing over a form of address?

Oh no, he has to hurry and save his abandoned mother!

Xia Jingwen smiled and smoothed things over: "It's just a dowry. I also have a few shops for you to have. They'll definitely be better than your sister's Golden Jade Hall..."

"you shut up!"

"you shut up!"

The two voices, speaking at the same time, startled him into silence. One was from his mother, and the other from Xia Li.

Cui Fangshu goes without saying.

Xia Li didn't want to owe her brother anything. Besides, Jin Yu Man Tang was currently just a clothing and jewelry shop. If it really became a small market in the future, there would be even more people who coveted it. She wanted to put an end to everyone's hopes in the mansion today.

"Madam Cui, you still haven't answered me. How will you repay this life-saving grace?"
