Half a day later, at the Jade Sound Pavilion.
Phoenix looked at the white-haired old woman and asked, "Fifty thousand taels, why do you need so much money?"
The old woman gave her a glance and said calmly, "They above need the money, naturally it has its uses. Just prepare it quickly, there's no need to ask more."
Phoenix leaned back in her chair and said, "I won't give it."
The old woman's eyebrows furrowed, and she said coldly, "What did you say? You don't think this is your money, do you? Without the support from above, you wouldn't have what you have today. What, after just a few days as Madam of the Li Family, you forget who you are? I can give you everything, and I can take it all away!"
