Chapter 165 Are You Taking Me For A Fool?

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Second Madam was struck dumb by Tang Li’s requests, unable to regain her regain consciousness just yet, and the rest of the ladies were all staring at Tang Li, wide-eyed.

Every household in the Qi family had their own vaults where they kept their priceless antiques and cash.

Because those antiques were priceless and could be used as family heirlooms, they treated them like their lifeblood and wouldn’t possibly give out.

However, given the current situation, if Tang Li wanted the antiques, Second Madam had no choice but to give her what she wanted.

For a moment, Second Madam was at a loss for words. There were still a few tears on her face, and the tear at the corner of her eye was swaying. She had forgotten to force it out.

“Fourth Sister-in-law, you…”

“Why? Does Second Sister-in-law still want to bargain with me? Or you can’t make the decision on your own and have to negotiate with Second Master?”

“Ah, right, right, right! I can’t make a decision regarding the antiques. I need to discuss it with him.”

Second Madam instantly came to her senses. She definitely had to tell her husband about this.

Looking at the expression on Second Madam’s face, Tang Li smiled triumphantly. “Sure. Why don’t you call Second Master now? After all, Tiancheng is still locked up. If Milus pressures the embassy of M Nation to

finalize this case, then no matter how powerful our Qi family is, we won’t be able to get him out of jail.”

What Tang Li said panicked Second Madam. She quickly took out her hand and called Second Master.

At this time, Second Master was still on an errand outside. After receiving the call, he rushed back immediately.

When he returned, Tang Li was drinking tea and listening to them talk about how to proceed the worshiping day.

Of course, now Third Madam was the only one who was in the mood to care about the worshiping day.

Third Madam said, “In the past, all the family members as well as relatives had to gather here at the Qi mansion. On the worshiping day, we would together enter the ancestral hall, led by the head of the Qi family. After

the worshiping day, everyone had to abstain from meat, wear simple clothes, and…”

Third Madam said a lot. Tang Li felt drowsy listening to her, but fortunately, Second Master was back in time to stop Third Madam.

Second Master practically rushed in with large strides. “Tang Li, are you really going to help Tiancheng out?”

Tang Li glanced at Second Master, who had obviously not slept well the entire night. She put down the teacup in her hand and reminded him, “Second Master, yes, but in exchange, you’ll have to let me choose a few

antiques from your family vault.”

Second Master thought Tang Li would certainly know nothing about antiques. On the way back, he asked someone to hide the most valuable ones. Although the rest were also valuable, if he could save his son, he was

willing to give them to her, so he agreed without thinking. “Sure, as long as you can get Fourth Brother to save Tiancheng.”

Tang Li was a little surprised that he would agree so straightforwardly.

For some reason, she did not believe him.

However, Second Master was afraid that Tang Li would go back on her words, so he continued, “Let me assure you first. I swear by our ancestors that as long as you can help Tiancheng, I’ll immediately take you to

choose the antiques.”

Tang Li looked at the sly-looking Second Master and said, “Then take me to see if your antiques are worth my help first. I might not even fancy any of your antiques.”

“Fourth Aunt, what are you talking about? All our antiques are priceless!” Qi Yulu finally said disdainfully.

Tang Li did not even look at her. She stared at Second Master and continued. “Second Master, take me to see your family’s antiques first. If I like them, I’ll decide whether I should help you.”

Second Master was very confident in his collection. He felt that every piece of his antiques could attract Tang Li. On the other hand, he still did not quite believe Tang Li, so he said, “Then once you’ve chosen the

antiques, call Fourth Brother immediately.”

He wanted Qi Yihan to personally agree to help.

How could Tang Li not know what he was thinking? She nodded without hesitation. “Sure.”

Only then did Second Master take her to his house.

Everyone followed suit, heading to Second Master’s house. No one spoke, but everyone had their own thoughts.

When they arrived, Second Master asked Tang Li to wait in the living room. He was prepared to ask his servants to bring some antiques.

Tang Li stopped him. “Second Master, what I mean is, take me to your collection room. You’re not trying to bluff me with just a few worthless antiques, are you?”

Second Master thought to himself that Tang Li surely couldn’t tell which of his antiques were priceless, and that she would just eventually pick some jewelry. He said to his two daughters, “Entertain your anties here

until 1 come back.”

The message was clear. He didn’t want First Madam and Third Madam to follow along.

First Madam and Third Madam could naturally read the message, so they stopped following.

Second Master and Second Madam took Tang Li to the collection room.

When Second Madam entered the room, she was very nervous, afraid that Tang Li would take away the most valuable antiques in their family.

The moment she entered the collection room, she found that the best antiques were not in there and was relieved.

Second Master said to Tang Li, “All the antiques are here. Now you know I’m sincere. Hurry up and choose. You can only choose three. Once you’re done choosing, call Fourth Brother.”

Tang Li threw a look at their expression and looked at the collection room.

There were a lot of things in the collection room, including porcelain, jade, calligraphy, antiques, and pearls… Every one of them was in a special anti-corrosive transparent vessel.

Tang Li walked around and commented, “Second Master, Second Sister-in-law, you guys really got a lot of good stuff.”

Second Master said with a straight face, “Not as many as Fourth Brother.”

Tang Li grinned at him and said teasingly, “Because he’s more capable than you are.”

Second Master glared at her and tried to kill her with his eyes.

Tang Li pretended not to see it. After looking around, she said disappointedly, “I thought that Second Master and Second Sister-in-law wanted to save Tiancheng a lot, but it seems like I underestimated you guys.

Indeed, a son is not as important as an antique.”

Second Master and Second Madam’s hearts skipped a beat.

Second Master forced himself to remain calm and said matter-of-factly, “My antiques are all here.”

“Second Master, are you taking me for a fool?” Tang Li said. She suddenly took out her phone and dialed a number. As she dialed, she said, “Let me ask Yihan how things are going over there.”

The call was answered after ten seconds.

Upon answering, Qi Yihan called her, “Li.”

Tang Li deliberately said with a coquettish voice, “Hubby, am I disturbing you?”

Qi Yihan, who was walking down the corridor, said, “No? You called at the right time.”

The Qi Group and KL were in a deadlock. By taking this phone call, he could keep them in suspense.

Qi Yihan asked, “What’s going on?”

“Well…” Tang Li told him what had happened here..
