The Soldier King Becomes a Useless Little Girl

Chapter 331 - 330: Divine Intervention

With Emperor Longteng as her towering support, nobody in the Chu Mansion dared to utter a word against it, Xin Lin acted without restraint or fear.

When Ma Jingtian struck, he showed no mercy whatsoever.

Within the Chu Mansion, it was a scene of misery and devastation.

That day, five servants were driven out of the Chu Mansion, four had their arms crippled, and three had their legs broken.

All the servants of Chu Mansion witnessed this; everyone was so scared that they remained silent and dared not breathe a word.

Chu Tianyi was shaking with anger, whereas Chu Zhaonan appeared to smile but not really, casting a sidelong glance at the newly acknowledged little niece.

Looking at the newly recognized daughter of the patriarch sitting in the grandmaster’s chair, she watched the scene unfold with an unchanged expression.

"Settle the accounts of those who bullied my father, then we can start discussing how to divide the family assets."

Having taught the underlings a lesson, it was time to deal with those above.

Xin Lin patted her Silly Chu father, who promptly nodded along, repeatedly echoing.

"Divide the assets, divide the assets!"

"All the properties, lands, and shops of Chu Mansion are documented in these ledgers. Early on, my father already mentioned dividing the assets, and it was largely settled. The eldest brother was also there and he agreed, the third brother, right?"

Chu Tianyi, suppressing his burgeoning anger, ordered the accountant to present a hefty ledger to the several uncles and gentlemen present.

Chu Zhaonan also repeatedly expressed his agreement at their side.

Xin Lin sneered inwardly.

What a pair of brothers in cahoots, taking advantage of the fact that my father is a fool, colluding in secret.

However, since Xin Lin dared to initiate the division of assets, she also anticipated that the two brothers of Chu Mansion would employ schemes, so she kept silent.

"The accounts are very clear, with Bei Qing’s handwriting on them, fifty acres of medicinal fields, a house in the north of the city, a Medical Hall, and a Spiritual Food Restaurant. As for the monthly allowance, Bei Qing has yet to start a family, his allowance is 500 taels per month, to be withdrawn from the accounting office," said the Grandmaster after flipping through the ledger.

The Chu family had substantial wealth, but the expenses over the years were not small either.

Especially after Chu Bei became a fool, and Chu Tianyi went to the Imperial Hospital, much of the mansion’s business affairs fell into the hands of Chu Zhaonan, so the property wasn’t considered abundant.

Medicinal fields, Medical Halls, Spiritual Food – it seemed there was quite a lot at first glance.

Xin Lin glanced at Chu Tianyi and Chu Zhaonan, the brothers appearing nonchalant.

"Granduncle, this account isn’t right," Xin Lin shook her head.

"What’s wrong with it? This is already one-third of Chu Mansion’s assets. Bei Qing, being the eldest, was sympathetic to his two younger brothers and voluntarily gave up an additional tenth of his assets to share with them," thought Granduncle. In his mind, these thirty percent of the assets were already substantial, since Bei Qing only had one daughter of questionable origin, and who knows which young man might end up benefiting from these assets in the future.

"Granduncle, there’s nothing wrong with the fields and houses, and even the monthly allowance is passable. But what about the furnishings and jewels within Chu Mansion, including my father’s annual salary from over the years? And what to say of the Imperial Gifts bestowed by the Emperor to my father every year? Those are exclusively his personal belongings; I will claim all of them," Xin Lin said, her face not blushing and her heart not skipping a beat.

"Preposterous!" Chu Tianyi burst into anger as he heard this.

This wretched girl really dared to ask for the moon. The Granduncle quickly calmed Chu Tianyi down.

"Tianyi, don’t act rashly. Let her take the Imperial Gifts. What harm is there if she takes them? They can’t be eaten nor sold. Besides, what can a country bumpkin like her recognize of the Imperial Gifts?" said the Granduncle.

Upon hearing this, Chu Tianyi also felt there was some truth to it.

"To inform the Second Master, Master Jiang of the Purple Mist Alchemy Hall is requesting an audience outside," reported a guard suddenly while they were speaking.
