Fifty thousand taels, Lin Neiguan is still satisfied with this.

However, Lu Shi could not take out this amount of silver for a while, and begged him to give him a day's grace.

When Lin Neiguan and Mrs. Yongkang Hou left with the people, she sat back in her chair, her eyes red with anger.

"It's too bullying! They lost our family and asked me for money! ”

Lu Shi said as he trembled and couldn't help crying. If there is no man to support the family, women will be bullied. Now that Meng Jin's life and death are unknown, Meng Pei was involved in a fraud case and went to prison, and she, a woman in the house, can only be manipulated by others.

Mother Luo held her shoulder and comforted: "Big lady, bear with it, just wait until the big official is rescued." ”

Lu wiped his tears and said: "Rescued it, it has also been on the thief ship of King Lu's mansion." I think this King Lu is ambitious, and I don't know how much we want to give. ”

The master and servant hugged their heads and cried.

Shi Mo silently accompanied them for a while, and when their crying gradually subsided, he said, "But, 50,000 taels of silver, where do we come from?" ”

Lu Shi wiped away his tears and said hatefully: "Where do I have money, naturally I have to ask the second room." ”

Shi Mo said: "But no one is in the second room now." ”

Lu Shi snorted coldly: "The people are not there, the treasury is there." You go, call the green smoke. ”

Shimo had no choice but to go out.

Since Meng Qingyun left home, Lu Yan and Cui's mother have closed the courtyard door of Huanhua Pavilion and lived a peaceful life, just knitting female red, firewood, rice, oil and salt every day.

Shi Mo slapped open the door of the Huanhua Pavilion and said that the Lu family had called Green Smoke to come over for questioning. Green Yan naturally couldn't help but go, and followed her to the side of the East Road and entered the Lu family's courtyard.

Lu Shi was drinking tea.

Holding a teacup, skimming the floating tea leaves with the lid, once, again, again.

Green Smoke stood in front of her, silently waiting.

Finally, Lu's tea leaves were almost skimmed, and he took a sip of them to his mouth, and then spoke slowly: "You know everything about the family." The big officials have now been wronged and have been involved in the Chunfu case, entrusting people and interceding, and they have to spend money to deal with them. The public is empty, you take some money out to pay for it first. ”

Green Smoke chuckled in his heart, his face stabilized first, and asked, "I don't know how much?" ”

Lu Shi said: "Let's take 60,000 taels for emergency first." ”

Lin Neiguan asked for 50,000 yuan, but she pretended to be public and private here, and added another 10,000.

Green Smoke's eyes widened in shock: "Sixty thousand? Isn't this too much? ”

Lu Shi furrowed his brows: "This is a matter of human life, do you think it is a vegetable market to buy vegetables, and there is a bargain?" ”

Green Smoke hurriedly said: "That's not what I mean!" It's just that this is not a trivial matter of a few hundred taels of silver in the usual way. I was just trusted by the second lady in the past, and I managed the treasury, and all the money transactions were approved by the second lady. Now these 60,000 taels of silver, where do I have this authority? ”

"What do you mean, do you refuse?" Lu's voice began to chill.

"Don't dare to disobey the big lady. I mean, about the large amount of money, please ask the eldest lady to write to ask my family first. ”

Green Smoke lowered his head, looking like a quail who didn't dare to make his own decisions.

Lu Shi looked at her silently, and suddenly threw the tea cup on the table, and with a bang, the tea cup overturned, and the tea flowed wantonly on the table and dripped to the ground.

"I'll just tell you the truth. The big officials are the pillars of our house, and this is a matter of both glory and loss! Yuan Niang is in She County, letters go back and forth, not to mention it will take two days, delay time is small, and harm the future or life of big officials, that is a catastrophe! ”

"I have not come today to ask for your advice, but to command you. You'd better take out the silver for me obediently, otherwise, as a big lady, I have the means to deal with a servant! ”

Green Smoke fell to his knees with a puff and begged for mercy: "I didn't deliberately contradict the eldest lady. I'm willing to take the money, and the key to the treasury is not in my possession. So that the eldest lady knew, when Yuan Niang left, she said that since she was not at home, the treasury must not be used, so she took the treasury key with her. ”

Lu glared at her in disbelief.

Green Smoke hung his head, eager to bury his face in his chest. But I was thinking in my heart, fortunately, Yuan Niang was prepared and took the key away, otherwise where would they, the maidservants who stayed behind, be able to carry the eldest lady.

The more Lu thought about it, the more angry he became, Meng Qingyun actually gave her such a trick to draw salary, so ruthless, is this to force her to death?

Her chest rose and fell violently, looking at the green smoke in front of her, she felt that her face was hateful, and a resentment rose in her chest, she stood up suddenly, rushed over, raised her hand and slapped her.

Syllable!

Green Smoke was defenseless, and received this slap firmly, unable to even kneel, and the whole person was thrown to the ground.

Luo's mother was taken aback.

Lu Shi's eyes were red, like a bloodthirsty beast, and he gritted his teeth and said, "You master and servant! Remember me! ”

She flicked her sleeves, hated her, and strode out. Luo's mother hurriedly trotted to keep up.

The green smoke was crawling on the ground, painful, aggrieved and humiliated, and tears poured out frantically.

A servant girl came in to clean up the table, and when she looked like this, she felt pitiful, but thinking about the coercion of the eldest lady, she didn't dare to go up and help her.

Green Smoke easily adjusted his mood, stood up with his own support on the ground, covered his face with his hands, wiped his tears and left.

Lu Shi angrily entered the Le Shou Hall.

Sandalwood just instructed the mother-in-law to carry the beauty couch to the courtyard, and let the old lady lie on it, there is the sun in the courtyard, it is bright and breathable, and the people come and go are also alive, it is better than standing up like a corpse in the house.

The old lady is a little better now, and although her saliva is gone, she still can't speak.

Lu Shi came in, saw her eyes glazed, looked away in disgust, didn't care about her, grabbed sandalwood, and dragged her into the house.

"Big Lady ......"

Sandalwood was caught off guard and was dragged into the house by her, only to feel that her arms were pinched and hurt.

Lu Shi didn't go around the bend anymore, and said, "I want 50,000 taels of silver, you can take it for me quickly." ”

Fifty thousand taels is not a small amount, and Sandalwood's shock is the same as green smoke: "So much silver, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu's family: "I have taken a way, I can exonerate the big officials, and they will ask for 50,000 taels when they open their mouths." ”

Sandalwood skeptical: "Whose door?" Is it reliable? ”

Lu Shi frowned and said impatiently: "People are high-ranking nobles, they won't trick me, you just take the silver!" ”

Where is the money in sandalwood, it is naturally the old lady's private treasury. The key to the second room was taken away by Meng Qingyun, and the walls of the warehouse were so deep that she couldn't smash it, so she naturally could only hit the old lady's idea of the private treasury.

Sandalwood had no choice but to take the key and open the storeroom, carrying a small box of gold and 40,000 taels of silver tickets. Lu Shi did not pretend to others, and walked away with the box in person.

Watching her leave Le Shou Tang without looking back, without even looking at the old lady in the courtyard, let alone asking a question, Sandalwood couldn't help but sigh.

"This home is getting more and more unpleasant."
