The second elder said as he took out a financial account book. "Miss owner, in the past week or so, the Klan's finances have exceeded the one-month target. After careful inspection, it turns out you are the one who has spent the most money on the Klan in the past week."
Wen Yun Zi furrowed both of her brows. "Give me the book!"
The second elder gave the account book he held to Wen Yun Zi.
Wen Yun Zi inspected the account book carefully.
It turned out to be true, it was he who had indeed spent a lot of the Clan's money in this past week, but Wen Yun Zi now looked furious that the elders had even complained of this kind of triviality.
Even though he had spent the Clan's money exceeding the target, Wen Yun Zi naturally did not spend it to play around, but rather to purchase a variety of rare herbs, he said, as well as buying other items that are not yet available in the pharmacy room.
Even until this moment, Wen Yun Zi had never spent the Clan's money on her own needs. And in this past week as well, Wen Yun Zi had only worn the hanfu that her grandfather had sent her.
What angered Wen Yun Zi the most was not that the elders were complaining about the money she was spending, but the fact that as the eldest miss of the Wen Clan, she was not, Wen Yun Zi had never even enjoyed a single penny of Clan money for fifteen years.
And during these past fifteen years, the finances as well as resources of the Clan had been spent just for a Wen Jia Li.
Even to forge an engagement rope between Wen Jia Li and one of the fourth Princes of the Tian Zing Empire, Wen Zuting to the point of issuing a dowry that almost bankrupted the Wen Clan. Wen Zuting handed the dowry to Emperor Gong Xing Guang consisting of thousands of bottles of medicinal herbs, various rare treasures, as well as ten million gold coins.
When the Emperor saw the dowry list, the Emperor immediately passed the Imperial decree authorizing the engagement between his son the fourth Prince named Gong Xing Wu, with the Wen Clan's second miss named Wen Jia Li.
The two soon had a magnificent engagement party, and the two were also dubbed as the destined couple.
Only the unofficial second miss, Wen Jia Li enjoyed boundless happiness and love. And as the legitimate eldest miss, Wen Yun Zi had never even felt the slightest bit of happiness. Let alone being happy, Wen Yun Zi had never even eaten a decent meal until the end of her life.
But in the end, the happiness and love that Wen Jia Li received were all gone. Everything was lost when the news of what had happened in the Wen Clan a week ago, spread throughout the entire Tian Zing Empire.
Recalling those bad memories again, Wen Yun Zi's face looked even more grim; Cih! The idiot emperor had obviously sold his own son.
Wen Yun Zi promised herself and promised the late owner of her body, that after handling these hypocritical elders, she would definitely make the Emperor return all the dowries.
For a greedy person like Emperor Gong Xing Guang, Wen Yun Zi would never be merciful in his actions.
From a gloomy expression, the expression on Wen Yun Zi's face turned into an unpredictable expression; by my grandfather's nature, my grandfather would definitely not ask the Emperor to return the dowry, but not me. Since my grandfather has fully handed over the responsibilities of the Clan to me, I certainly won't let him down.
Seeing the strange expression on Wen Yun Zi's face, everyone in the hall thought that Wen Yun Zi might feel guilty and uncomfortable.
Believing his own estimation, the second elder said other things with the aim of making Wen Yun Zi feel even more guilty. "Miss owner, even though you didn't spend the Klan's money to play around, but why don't you ask for approval to us elders first?! If it continues like this, sooner or later the Clan will go bankrupt and be destroyed because of you."
Enraged, Wen Yun Zi was furious after hearing the second elder's words.
BRAKK!!!
Wen Yun Zi slapped her hands on the table, the elders instantly did not dare to blame Wen Yun Zi again.
Wen Yun Zi slowly stood up from her chair, the purple hanfu she was wearing made her curves so perfect. His eyes were so dark as anger that would explode at any moment. "I spent money on Klan needs! How dare you idiot elders blame me to such an extent!"
"Klan Wen is now mine! How much I spent the Clan's money, it's my right! And you idiot elders don't deserve to rebuke me like that." Wen Yun Zi continued in such a cold tone.
Other than the elders, the other people present in the hall instantly shook in fear. Right now they did not have the courage to stare directly into Wen Yun Zi's face.
Other than the expression of the fourth elder who remained calm, Wen Yun Zi saw a dark expression on the faces of the other elders.
After easing his anger, Wen Yun Zi walked away from the main seat, then said as she raised her right index finger towards the main seat. "If you elders are against me becoming the leader of the Clan, then I allow one of you to sit in that chair and replace me as the leader of the Clan."
The elders and everyone were very surprised to hear Wen Yun Zi say.
Other than the fourth elder who was only shocked for a moment, the other elders looked at each other; how could we possibly dare to sit in the main seat. If today one of us steps towards the main seat, we are sure that today too the Great Lord will beheading us immediately. This Wen Yun Zi, she really knows how to make us elders helpless.
"Mahaha ..." Wen Yun Zi laughed looking at the expressions of the elders who she thought were very funny.
"Since all of you are cowards and do not dare to be Clan leaders, then remember this one thing well. I am the leader and owner of the Clan! I am free to do whatever I want! If you elders still dare to lecture me because no matter what I do, I swear I will kick you out of this Clan." Wen Yun Zi affirmed her position as well as threatened the elders.
The elders did not know what to say, the other people in the hall remained silent for fear of offending Wen Yun Zi. If they could, they would have been out of the hall since just now.
The fourth elder looked at Wen Yun Zi with a meaningful gaze; according to my trusted informant, in the past this little girl was so weak and had a timid nature, although sometimes it was also very vulgar. But now that it was different, the little girl now looked like a tyrant. Dangerous but not evil. The way of reprimanding and scolding the elders was really very good.
Scolded and rebuked in such a manner in front of many talented talents, the elders were furious and regarded Wen Yun Zi as a bully, arrogant, and unreasonable girl.
Unexpectedly, the first elder stood up from his chair and bowed towards Wen Yun Zi. "Miss owner, please be merciful and please forgive us the servants of these elders. We promise we won't pursue this matter again."
The second elder and the third elder both looked puzzled; what did the first elder do? how do we teach this arrogant girl a lesson if we don't pursue this matter anymore?.
The second and third elders were finally no longer confused after hearing the first elder's words; we knew that the first elder would not let him off so easily.
"Controlling my spending? so how many elders want to control my spending?" Wen Yun Zi smiled playfully.
"10,000 gold coins is enough for your expenses for one month." The first elder decided without hesitation.
Wen Yun Zi asked still with a playful smile on her beautiful face. "Do you think 10,000 gold coins are enough for my spending for one month?"
"As long as you're not wasteful, I think 10,000 gold coins is enough." Said the first elder accompanied by a nod of the second elder and the third elder.
Wen Yun Zi looked at the elders for a moment, then said. "Since you guys think 10,000 gold coins is enough for my spending for one month, then you elders only need to spend 5,000 gold coins in one month. Hows it? this arrangement is fair enough, right?"
The elders almost spouted blood. Even the fourth elder who had since remained calm, now also felt the same as the other elders felt.
As the leader of the other elders, the first elder immediately said. "Miss owner, please don't make such arrangements. There are hundreds of people in our family who need a living from us, 5,000 gold coins is definitely not enough."
Wen Yun Zi smiled like an innocent girl. "I as the leader and owner of the Clan only earned 10,000 gold coins per month. Isn't it right for you underlings to earn 5,000 gold coins per month?"
Wen Yun Zi sneered in her heart; even though these elders have the same 'Wen' clan as me, they are still not an official part of the Clan. Because of his talent in business, sixteen years ago my grandfather recruited them to take care of the Klan business out there. I don't think, after sixteen years have passed, they thought that they were an official part of the Clan, and could do anything freely. Hmh! As long as I am alive, I will not allow you to act freely in this Clan.
The first elder felt his head throbbing in pain. "Miss owner, this arrangement is clearly unfair to us. What if ..."
Before the first elder finished his speech, Wen Yun Zi cut him off casually. "It would seem unfair if you elders were given 5,000 gold coins per month. Even a beggar in the Tian Zing Empire ate twice a day. So elders, how about we bet?"
Wen Yun Zi smiled and looked at the elders like an innocent and honest girl.
The elders were all frozen; Betting? what cunning plan was this arrogant girl planning?. Nah! We won't fall into his trap again.
"Miss owner, what do you mean?" The first elder asked and pretended not to understand the intent of Wen Yun Zi's words.
Despite knowing that the first elder was only pretending not to understand, Wen Yun Zi still explained with her innocent smile. "Over the week, I've still been spending and spending money freely, but now you elders want to control my spending to 10,000 gold coins per month. I don't think this amount is enough for me to use for a month, but I know you're doing all this for the Klan."
The elders and everyone were very surprised, the change in Wen Yun Zi's temperament from arrogant girl to wise girl, made everyone more and more curious about her.
"So let's bet! I bet that within three days, I will make four million gold coins. But if I fail to produce four million gold coins within three days, I promise to obey your arrangements, and will receive 10,000 gold coins per month." Wen Yun Zi said with an innocent smile on her beautiful face.
Hearing her so confident remark, everyone tried to hold back their laughter.
"Produced four million gold coins within three days? is this girl's brain in trouble?" The second elder said in a faint voice that only the first elder and the third elder could hear.
"Even if the three of us worked hard together for three whole months, we would still not be able to produce that sum of four million gold coins, let alone in just three days. Looks like this girl's brain is really troubled." The third elder also said in a faint voice.
The first elder frowned. For some reason, the first elder always felt there was a hidden trap behind this bet.
"What if you manage to make four million gold coins within three days?" Ask the first elder.
Wen Yun Zi smiled broadly at the first elder's question. "If I succeed, you elders will obey my arrangements and receive 5,000 gold coins per month. And also, I will take over all the authority that the Clan gave you."
"WHAT?!"
Everyone was once again taken aback by Wen Yun Zi's words.
Wen Yun Zi not only used the bet to suppress the elders, but also intended to take over all the authority the Clan had given the elders.
The confused elders did not know what to say, even the fourth elder who remained calm, was currently as confused as the other elders.
"This bet is so unfair! What if you cheat by asking the big master for help to get three million gold coins?!" The second master furrowed both of his brows.
Wen Yun Zi looked at the second elder like she was staring at an idiot.
