Chapter 467, the truth of the pastry shop
Qu Moying's sleep didn't last long.
After waking up, after a little freshening, Yuchun tied a light veil on his place, and only then brought in the person sent by Qu Qiuyan before.
This mother-in-law actually came a long time ago, but was stopped by Yudong and Yuchun.
"Our young lady has thanked the fourth young lady for the gift." The mother-in-law was already a little impatient, but she didn't dare to make a face at Qu Moying now, so she could only force a smile and say.
"You're welcome." Qu Moying put down the teacup in his hand and said lightly.
"Fourth Miss, our young lady would like to ask you about the pastry shop." The mother-in-law hesitated for a moment and said the most important thing.
This is the reason why the third lady asked her to come over.
"What's wrong with the pastry shop?" Qu Moying raised her eyebrows and said disappreciably.
"Our young lady heard that the fourth miss lost all the shop, and wanted to tell the fourth miss about this shop, since the fourth miss has lost all of it, why not give us the third miss, in the future, our third miss will also read a kindness of the fourth miss, if the fourth miss feels that it is not enough, our third miss can pay some silver taels and bring the shop over."
The mother-in-law explained.
"Third sister...... Just want a run-down shop? Qu Moying heard this, and after thinking for a while, he asked slowly.
The mother-in-law has also been prepared, "That shop must be the brainchild of Mrs., even if it is given to the fourth lady now, our third miss is still very reluctant, and the lady and the third miss are both old people, and some old people in the past have to be resettled, so they can't be really displaced!" ”
Hearing her say this, Yu and Qu Qiuyan have really become good people!
It's hard and soft.
"Actually, it's not impossible, it's just that this shop still has some problems, and I guess I can't give it to your young lady." Qu Moying said.
"Fourth Miss, why is this?" The mother-in-law's face changed slightly, she originally thought it was not a big deal, and the third lady was willing to pay two silver, and the fourth lady would agree no matter what.
"There's no why, I'm just afraid it's not good, thank you three young ladies, let's go back first!" Qu Moying didn't care.
"Please!" Yudong took two steps forward and had already asked to leave.
The mother-in-law wanted to say something, but when she saw Yudong's cold gaze, she shrank for a moment, and didn't dare to say more, so she could only turn around angrily and go back and report to her own lady.
After the mother-in-law left, Yuchun stepped forward again and took off the veil for Qu Moying, Qu Moying closed her eyes slightly, and then opened her eyes and looked at Yudong, her face became heavy.
"Miss, it's a loan shark." Rainy Winter Road.
After Qu Moying was stunned for a moment, he looked up at Yu Dong in astonishment, Yu Dong took out a booklet from his arms and handed it to Qu Moying: "Miss, you see, this is taken out from under the bed of the shopkeeper of the pastry shop, it is well hidden, and there is a blank space under the bed, if it is not for him himself, I am afraid that he will not be able to find it for a while." ”
A booklet that is not thick, Qu Moying opened it, and it was written the name of the person, the time, where he lived, and how much money he had borrowed, and there were several IOUs and IOUs, each of which had a handprint on it, indicating how much interest was on, and these interest rates were very high, indeed high interest.
"How dare Mrs. Yu do such a thing." Even if Yuchun has seen it, he doesn't have that
So much, I also gasped at this time.
This is a criminal matter, the Great Zhou Law has long been clearly stipulated, no usury can be given, especially the official eunuchs, if it is found out, it may even affect the family, if Yu's booklet is made public, Qu Zhizhen will inevitably be implicated.
"Let's go!" Qu Moying stood up and motioned for Yuchun to tie her veil for her.
"Miss, now are you going to talk to the second master?" Yudong asked.
"Naturally, I have to let my father know that this matter was originally my father's business." Qu Moying's expression remained unchanged, his eyes were closed, Ren Yuchun gently and skillfully tied up the veil of his eyes, and his lips were slightly hooked, "No wonder the Yu family is reluctant to tell the second brother about this, but he told the third sister about it." ”
Qu Mingcheng didn't understand things anymore, and he didn't dare to accept such a thing, whether it was for himself or for Qu Zhizhen's official career, but Qu Qiuyan was different, for the sake of money, she really dared to accept it, not only did she accept it all, but she would continue to put it down, which could be regarded as inheriting Yu's ambition.
Therefore, it is not left to the son, but to the daughter!
When Qu Moying arrived at the study, Qu Zhizhen happened to come back, his expression was a little tired, he heard that Qu Moying came to look for him, after being stunned for a moment, he nodded slightly, and asked the little servant to lead Qu Moying in.
After Qu Moying came in, he saluted Qu Zhizhen, and then looked left and right.
As soon as she looked at her, she had something to say, Qu Zhizhen waved his hand, the little guy retreated, and Yudong also followed behind the little guy.
retreated to the door, and deliberately closed the door for them a little.
"Father, look!" Qu Moying didn't change the topic, took two steps forward, took out the booklet in his sleeve, and placed it in front of Qu Zhizhen.
"What is this?" Qu Zhi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Qu Moying with sharp eyes.
"Father will know if he sees it!" Qu Moying didn't say it directly, just looked at the booklet in front of him.
Qu Zhizhen slowly took the booklet, read it, only to turn a page, his face immediately changed greatly, and immediately turned a few pages in a row without stopping, and when he saw the words written on the last few pages, his hand pressed down heavily, and there was a "bang" sound on the desktop, and the teacup on the top of the shock shook twice.
"Where did it come from?" Qu Zhizhen asked in a deep voice.
"Does my father remember a pastry shop left by my mother?" Qu Moying asked rhetorically.
Qu Zhizhen really didn't know about this before, but Mrs. Tai told him once that day, and then Qu Qiuyan mentioned it to him again, and it was difficult for him to think about it now.
This shop has been sold by the youngest daughter, the mother mentioned it to herself, and then the eldest daughter came to ask for it, and she was on fire at the time, so she scolded her back.
"You know, haven't you already sold?" Qu Zhizhen asked with a cold face.
"It's sold, but before the third sister told me about the pastry shop, and said that she wanted to accept it and said something else, it looked like it was a must, and the second brother also went to the shop on purpose, and he was looking for the shopkeeper, and the person who sold my shop came to ask me, is there anything left to do, is this shop not mine, why does the second brother still have to call the door to find someone."
After that, I asked Yudong to inquire, but I didn't expect that the shopkeeper of the pastry shop who was dismissed had such a thing in his hand, and he just sent it...... I remember that there was a provision in the law
……”
Qu Moying glanced at Qu Zhizhen when he said this, and didn't say any more.
Some things are actually very clear, this is a usury booklet, and the time in this cannot be done by others, and the time for Qu Moying to return home is like this.
"Your third sister and second brother know about this?" Qu Zhizhen gritted his teeth and asked hatefully.
"The third sister may not know, or she may know, but the second brother should not know, otherwise he wouldn't have waited until now, right?" Qu Moying thought about it for a while, and said very vaguely, and it was also very fair to separate Qu Mingcheng and Qu Qiuyan.
Qu Zhizhen lowered his head coldly and looked at the booklet in his hand again, the more he looked at it, the heavier the evil aura in his eyes, if this booklet fell into the hands of others, his official career would be considered to be the end, not only would it come to an end, but it could even cause bigger things.
Yu's is really not enough to succeed, and more than to lose!
"You go back first, I'll take care of this!" Qu Zhizhen said coldly.
Qu Moying nodded, didn't stop, turned around and left at the moment, this matter was originally Qu Zhizhen's matter, and then it depends on Qu Zhizhen's meaning.
"Father!" Qu Qiuyan looked at Qu Zhizhen tremblingly, always felt that today's father's face was too gloomy, and subconsciously felt that she had asked Qu Moying about it before, and her father knew about it again, and she was a little resentful of Qu Moying for a while, and one day, she would let this cheap girl kneel in front of her.
And that day is not far off.
"What do you see what this is?" Qu Zhizhen threw the booklet in his hand in front of Qu Qiuyan.
Qu Qiuyan squatted down blankly and picked it up, and then looked at it, "Father, what is this?" ”
"Haven't you seen it?" Qu Zhizhen sneered, his eyes examining Qu Qiuyan's demeanor.
"Father, I haven't seen it, this ...... What is it? Qu Qiuyan stood up blankly, and flipped through the booklet in her hand again.
"Didn't you go all the way to your sister's pastry shop?" Qu Zhizhen said coldly.
"This is ......" Qu Qiuyan was startled, immediately understood, looked at it again, the more she looked at it, the more panicked her face became, she also understood, this is a booklet for loan sharks.
Mother is lending usury? Didn't you say that you saved a lot of money for yourself?
Qu Qiuyan's first reaction was not the consequences that this incident would cause to the entire Qu Mansion, but only thought about how to fool her father and make her father forgive her mother.
"Do you understand?" Qu Zhizhen's cold voice did not carry a trace of temperature.
"Father...... Father, I ...... I understood, but I had to ask my mother as well...... Perhaps, she ...... She's also for a sake......"
Qu Qiuyan explained dryly, "Maybe, mother...... There are also her thoughts, which may also be excusable. ”
"Extenuating circumstances?" Qu Zhizhen sneered, "Why do you still want you to take it to King Jing's Mansion so that King Jing can find out, do you think you still have a life?" ”
"Father...... Father, King Jing won't find out. Qu Qiuyan hurriedly shook her head.
"Won't find out? How can you be so sure that King Jing won't find out, and when he does, he will find out? Do you take the blame, or do you blame your mother, or do you want me to take the blame? Qu Zhizhen sneered, looking at this daughter with disappointed eyes, it was originally the daughter he cared about the most, and it was also a daughter who was carefully cultivated.
When was it so stupid!
