Luxury (6)

Mu Mingtang replied while maintaining a calm expression, “The Empress Dowager has misunderstood. Although it may seem that we are overspending, that’s not the case at all. Our mansion earns a lot of money every day. Why should we force ourselves to live in poverty when the family fortune has been rising? What’s more, the prince has been used to spending money like this since he was a child. If I change it rashly, I’m afraid I will wrong the prince.”

Mu Mingtang’s original intention was just to explain, but after she finished speaking, everyone’s expressions turned even more ugly.

So far, people thought that Prince An and his wife were wasting their ancestral money. However, Mu Mingtang was now telling them they were squandering money recklessly because their daily income was just too high.

Sure enough, people became more uncomfortable after hearing such an answer. ‘Why did you tell us these things?’

Everyone was shocked, even the Empress’s expression changed.

Then the Empress suddenly remembered that some time ago, in order to maintain the reputation of the royal family, they gave a lot of rewards to Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang.

Thinking of this, the Empress’s heart ached. ‘Yeah, why should she worry about some expensive skirt? Compared to the bottomless rewards they received, the cost of this skirt is nothing. If someone in Prince An’s mansion is good at management and invests the money back into the market, the profits that can be obtained will indeed be very considerable.’

The Empress knew that Xie Xuanchen was not good at business, but she had heard that Mu Mingtang’s original family was a merchant family. She could be good at investing.

Mu Mingtang’s ancestors had been in business for several generations, and before the accident in Xiangyang, their family’s antique business had already spread all over Xiangyang City.

Mu Mingtang, who grew up in such an environment, was bold, had a sharp vision and could make quick decisions unlike ladies who were devoted to learning stuff like singing, calligraphy, etiquettes and appreciating the beautiful things. On the other hand, Xie Xuanchen had enough capital and deterrent power to let her try and make mistakes.

Until this very moment, the Empress had thought that Xie Xuanchen and Mu Mingtang were acting recklessly, but in fact, it seemed that their income was much greater than their expenses.

The assets of Prince An’s mansion had been increasing continuously, and what Mu Mingtang spent was really nothing for them.

Although Xie Xuanchen was known as the God of War, it was actually Mu Mingtang who could easily kill people with her words only. They were really worthy of being the husband and the wife.
