When Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang returned to the Lord’s Estate, they happened to bump into the butler.
Since they had met, they should at least greet each other.
“Uncle Butler, good morning! You’re going out to work so early in the morning!”
The butler had not expected to encounter Xue Fanxin and Ye Jiushang at the door. Furthermore, she had taken the initiative to greet him. Her words were polite and sweet, making him feel both happy and terrified.
“Greetings, Your Highness and Consort. Many places in the residence have been destroyed beyond recognition and have to be repaired. I was just about to find a better craftsman. After all, ordinary craftsmen aren’t up to the mark.”
Ye Jiushang said coldly, “There’s no need to repair the Lord’s Estate anymore. Let’s leave it at that.”
“Ah?” The butler did not understand, but this was an order from his master. He did not dare to ask.
Xue Fanxin knew Ye Jiushang’s intentions. Perhaps it was because they were about to leave, so he did not want to waste manpower, resources, and money on rebuilding this place. If they were rotten, so be it. Probably all the valuable things here would be sold by him.
The butler waited for a while but did not receive any new instructions from Ye Jiushang, so he did not think too much about it. Thinking of something, he said, “Your Highness, some of the spirit herbs you wanted have been sent to the residence, and another portion is on the way. However, the payment is huge, so it needs to be approved by His Highness and you.”
“Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve already prepared it.” Xue Fanxin generously took out a stack of notes and handed them to the butler one by one. “Take these. I’ll think of a way to gather some more later.”
“There’s no need for that. Everything will be paid by the treasury of the Lord’s Estate,” Ye Jiushang gave the order and left.
Xue Fanxin originally wanted to say more to the butler, but she had no choice but to follow Ye Jiushang. “Ah Jiu, I have a lot of spirit herbs. It’s not a small sum. I’m afraid there will be financial difficulties in many places in the Lord’s Estate. Actually, you don’t have to help me pay. I have so many treasures on me. I can casually take a few out and sell them for a lot of money. It’s enough to pay for the goods.”
Ye Jiushang stopped and turned to her. With a smile on his face, he explained patiently, “We’re about to leave and won’t live in the Lord’s Estate anymore. The Mystic Realm doesn’t use spirit coins. The banknotes here are just scrap paper. Therefore, take advantage of the opportunity now to spend them quickly.”
“Why didn’t you say so earlier? How many spirit coins do you have left?” Xue Fanxin took out all her spirit coins and notes to count. She wanted to spend them quickly, or she would suffer a huge loss.
Fortunately, she had not exchanged her treasures for spirit coins and banknotes. Otherwise, she would be in trouble.
The spirit coins and banknotes on her were not enough to pay for those spirit herbs, so she did not have to worry about not being able to finish spending them. On the other hand, the Ninth Lord’s Estate’s money vault… She was concerned!
“Ah Jiu, how much money do you have left here? Do you have a lot in the treasury?”
“I’m not too sure. Go to the accounts room and spend whatever you want. Also, it’s time to dismiss the people in the residence. I’ll leave this to you.”
“Sure, sure! Then I won’t stand on ceremony. I’ll spend as much as I want. Haha…” Xue Fanxin was overjoyed.
