The wicked female cannon fodder has arrived home

Chapter 375 General's Mansion is responsible for compensation

"It's just a quarrel between girls. Why are you getting involved?"

Xie Lan also wanted to be tough and not involve the General's Mansion.

But faced with such a high compensation demand, Xie Lan felt helpless and desperate.

She knew very well that the disaster she had caused had brought a heavy burden to the family.

But with her current financial resources, she simply cannot afford such an astronomical amount of compensation.

All the trouble, responsibility and consequences caused by the attack undoubtedly fell on the shoulders of the General's Office.

"Dad, I can't afford to pay so much money. Can you lend me 400,000 taels of silver?"

"I will definitely return it to your family."

She had saved a lot of money over the years and was able to scrape together 100,000 taels of silver.

As long as she keeps the shop that can make money and doesn't sell it, she can use it to earn money to repay the debt.

General Xie Zheng doted on his beloved daughter Xie Lan to the extreme, and was even willing to take out a large amount of silver from the treasury without hesitation to help his daughter settle the crisis.

"Of course it's no problem. Dad can afford to support you, so he can certainly afford to give it to you."

Xie Zheng's straightforward response of accepting the huge compensation undoubtedly made the general's wife Rong Jingshu furious.

Rong Jingshu has always been known for her virtue.

Faced with the staggering sum of four hundred thousand silver dollars, she no longer cared about the perfect image she had worked so hard to build over the years.

"What? Four hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Rong Jingshu gasped with a sharp voice.

She never imagined that the compensation would be as high as 400,000 taels of silver.

Xie Lan glanced at Rong Jingshu, pursed his lips and corrected her.

"Mother, it's five hundred thousand!"

Rong Jingshu lost all her mind and rushed over to snatch the crumpled list from Xie Lan's hand.

Unfolding the crumpled paper that Xie Lan had held tightly, he saw the huge compensation price list, and his eyes almost popped out of his head in shock. It was not 400,000, but 500,000? ? ?

How come there are so many??!

"The compensation is as high as 500,000 yuan. 500,000 yuan!"

Xie Lan tried to comfort Rong Jingshu.

"Mother, don't worry, I will definitely return the money to the General's Mansion."

Xie Zheng patted Xie Lan on the shoulder.

"My dear daughter, we are all one family, why are you talking about two different things?"

"What are you not paying back? Our family will pay for it."

Hearing Xie Zheng's boastful remarks about his wealth, Rong Jingshu almost collapsed.

"General, you want to pay? What are you going to use to pay? Are you going to sacrifice my entire general's mansion? Just to clean up her mess?"

"Will you make me and my entire general's mansion eat coarse food and live frugally because of her mistake in the future? "

Originally, she was willing to sit back and watch the fight, but this fight involved her interests, which was absolutely not possible!

It was clearly Xie Lan's fault, so why should the interests of everyone in the mansion be involved?

Her daughter delivered a shop to the general's mansion. She was filial and well-behaved, but she did not receive the general's favor.

Instead, it was Xie Lan who caused such a huge disaster, but she wanted the General's Mansion to solve the problem for her and pay such a huge amount of compensation?

This simply ruined the mother and daughter's luxurious and respectable life in the general's mansion for the rest of their lives.

Why should they, mother and daughter, bear the consequences for Xie Lan’s fault?

This is not fair!

Xie Zheng couldn't bear to see his daughter being wronged, and he couldn't bear to see the Seventh Princess bullying his daughter.

Seeing his daughter so helpless, powerless and aggrieved, his heart ached.

"Seventh Princess, my General's Mansion will send the 500,000 taels of silver compensation to the suburbs later. Please go back."

Rong Jingshu's voice was sharp.

"General——"

"Then I'll go back and wait." Jin Tiantian curled her lips, stood up and left.

After Jin Tiantian left, the general's mansion was in chaos because of the 500,000 yuan, and the family was in turmoil.

The most annoying person was Rong Jingshu, who had to bear the disaster for Xie Lan.

This anger was provoked by Xie Lan, so naturally it was Xie Lan who had to calm it down.

Rong Jingshu shouted angrily, feeling heartbroken.

"You really went too far this time. Xishan Manor is the property of the Seventh Princess, but you let a group of people from the underworld attack her manor."

"Isn't this obviously a confrontation with her? It would be strange if the Seventh Princess didn't come after you."

"You have caused a big disaster this time and brought so much trouble to my General's Mansion. So many eyes are watching you. As the mistress of the General's Mansion, I must punish you severely to serve as a warning to others!"

Xie Zheng felt sorry for his daughter and couldn't help but persuade her.

"Lan'er already knows his mistake, so don't punish him."

Rong Jingshu's face was stern and she could no longer act like a loving mother.

"A loving mother often spoils her child. If I don't punish her, she will be ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth and cause greater trouble in the future. This is something our General's Mansion cannot afford. Fortunately, the Seventh Princess only came to claim compensation and did not investigate further."

"If not..."

"The general should know how serious the consequences of this matter will be."

"The entire Guankou business is supported by Xishan Manor, and Lan'er actually went to destroy Xishan Manor."

"The Seventh Princess has more than just the Xichuan royal family behind her. There are many other people involved, and the interests of the other three countries are involved."

"By touching the meat on the plates of the other three countries, are you going to cause a conflict with the four countries?"

"Can our General's Mansion afford the criticism from the four countries?"

Rong Jingshu glanced at Xie Lan.

"You will be punished with fifty lashes. You should reflect on your mistakes in the ancestral hall."

Xie Zheng, who was originally speechless, became annoyed after hearing this.

"Fifty lashes? How could a delicate girl like her endure such torture?"

"There is no order without rules. Although our General's Mansion is not so particular, we do have rules."

"Hey...my girl, I won't whip you. Just go to the ancestral hall and kneel down."

The result was that there was much thunder but little rain, and Xie Zheng handled it gently and let Xie Lan escape the fifty lashes.

Xie Lan was locked up in the ancestral hall and forced to kneel down as punishment, so that he could reflect on his mistakes.

Rong Jingshu gave instructions not to allow anyone to bring food to Xie Lan.

Starve her for three days.

It was not easy for Xie Yu to disobey Rong Jingshu.

After all, it was indeed my sister who did something wrong.

It's not appropriate to bring some food to the mistress in broad daylight to slap her in the face.

At night, Xie Yu brought some food to Xie Lan.

"Sister, just reflect on yourself here, and stop thinking about causing trouble for Jin Tiantian. Jin Tiantian is not someone you can easily mess with, so stop making things difficult for yourself."

Xie Lan lowered his eyes and looked at the chicken legs and yam and red date cake in the food box, choking with sobs.

"I just couldn't stand her arrogant, domineering and lawless attitude. I wanted to teach her a lesson and let her know that there are always people better than you. I didn't expect her to be so difficult to deal with."

Xie Yu sighed.

"Sister, do you know how important Xishan Manor is? It now involves the interests of the four countries. What you are doing is not just a lesson, you are trying to provoke conflicts between the four countries and my general's mansion."
