Chapter Fifty-Eight: Pooling Money

"Do you know who I am?" Mu Liangxuan didn't expect this person to be so bold and blatantly and deliberately aimed at himself.

Mu Yi shrugged, "I just know who you are." "It's you who pit it, and he won't pit anyone else.

Mu Liangxuan looked at Mu Yi in astonishment, he didn't expect Mu Yi to admit it so happily, he hurriedly asked the man in black for help, "Since you are the owner of the gambling house, you have to uphold justice, he intends to target me and cheat me out of my money, don't you care?" ”

The man in black turned around coldly, "I don't care about your private affairs." ”

"Huh! Childe and slow. Mu Yu stopped the man in black, "I don't know if Childe's gambling house offers debt collection business?" "This Mu Liangxuan owes them money, she and her eldest brother can't go and ask for it in person, if they accidentally expose their identities, the old lady and Mrs. Ruyang will definitely get in the way, so the best way is to let the gambling house intervene, in the name of the gambling house, Mu Liangxuan can't help but pay back.

The man in black turned around with amusement and glanced sideways at Mu Liangxuan.

Mu Yu shook the money bag in his hand and continued, "You also know, we are all people with heads and faces, and we can't do this kind of thing, but I'm afraid that this is a debt for the son, so if the gambling house can provide debt collection business, it will naturally be the best." ”

The man in black nodded, "Yes, but I want to owe 10%." ”

"No problem, he still owes us more than 1,300 taels, and I don't care how much it is, even if it is 1,300, if I catch the debt, I will give you 130 taels, how about it?" Mu Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Okay." The man chuckled and gestured to the thugs beside him, signaling that the matter would be left to them.

The two of them clearly reached this kind of unseemly trick in front of themselves, "You guys? How dare you do this to me? If you offend me, you will offend the Luanping Marquis Mansion, and the Luanping Marquis Mansion will definitely not let you have a good time. "Mu Liangxuan is strong and middle-handed, and he can't do anything except threaten and threaten with his mouth.

Mu Yu sneered, "If you don't pay back the money you owe, can the Luanping Marquis Mansion still protect you?" ”

Mu Liangxuan pointed at Mu Yu and said viciously, "You'd better not let me know who you are, otherwise I will definitely not let you two go." ”

"You'd better pay off the debt first, or you'll be missing an arm or a leg by then, and that's a pity." Mu Yi was like a wall, standing behind Mu Yu to support her.

With the intervention of the gambling house, Mu Liangxuan really didn't have the courage to not pay back the money he owed, so as soon as he returned home, he asked Mrs. Ruyang for help, but if he wanted to take out 1,300 taels at one time in the third room, it would be really embarrassing for Mrs. Ruyang.

Mrs. Ruyang can't take it, and the people in the gambling house are blocking the door every day, but the people in the gambling house are also in order, except for Mu Liangxuan, people other than Mu Liangxuan will not stop them from going out of the house, only Mu Liangxuan, once they take a step towards the Luanping Hou Mansion, the people in the gambling house will come forward to collect debts.

After chasing a few times, Mu Liangxuan really had no choice but to find the old lady in person, he cried with tears, although the old lady was angry, she had to help him, but the old lady couldn't take out so much silver, and finally the idea naturally hit the big house again.

The old lady took advantage of Mu Heyun's absence in the mansion and called Shen Mei out of her courtyard, and Mu Yu thought about it and knew the old lady's thoughts, so she also went with her.

"Recently, Xuan'er has encountered some trouble outside, as an aunt and sister, you have to help him." The old lady was shaking the Buddha beads, but she had no shame at all.

Mu Yu pretended to be innocent, tilted his head and looked at the old lady innocently, "I don't know what happened to Xuan'er?" Do you need my mother and me to help? She deliberately emphasized the word "woman".

"Where do you have so many questions, you are all close relatives, what's wrong with doing him a favor?" The old lady was quite unreasonable.

Mu Yu pursed his lips and muttered, "Since grandmother said that we are close relatives and my brother has encountered something, shouldn't I, as an older sister, know what happened so that I can help my brother solve it?" ”

"You only need to take out a thousand taels of silver, and ask so much for what?" The old lady looked at Shen Mei coldly, "Also, don't tell He Yun about this, if he knows, he should be angry again, I don't think you want this family to be smoky, right?" ”

The old lady's words are really insidious, isn't she just knocking Shen Mei on the side, if she complains, she is deliberately muddying the waters at home.

Mu Yu knew that her mother was not good at resisting, but with the experience of the last dinner table, she had nothing to fear, this old lady had long been distracted and didn't know where to go, the more they tolerated it, the more these people had to take inches.

"Grandmother, do you think this thousand taels is a bit much?" Mu Yu asked rhetorically.

"Is it much? Asking you to do your brother a favor, how did you push back? The old lady snorted coldly.

"If my grandmother doesn't think it's much, I think the third aunt must be able to afford it, so there's no need to find me and my mother, right?" Few? Why don't you come out yourself? Mu Yu didn't save face for the old lady at all.

The old lady didn't expect Mu Yu to refute herself openly, and paused slightly with her fingers holding the Buddha beads, "This thousand taels is not a small amount, your third uncle and third aunt have always been thrifty, so naturally they can't take it out." ”

Mu Yu nodded suddenly in realization, "Grandmother also thinks that one thousand taels is not small, the three uncles and three aunts can't take it out, my mother and I have only fifteen taels a month, I just don't spend money, I have to save for five or six years, grandmother really thinks too highly of me and my mother." ”

"Shen Mei, look at the good daughter you taught, how can you talk to me?" The old lady's face was blue when she was refuted, and she could only complain about Shen Mei with strong words.

Shen Mei looked at her daughter distressedly, if it was before, she would have made Rumor Er cautious, but when Sanfang coveted Rumor's dowry, she suddenly realized that her patience for so many years would only make them worse.

She naturally defended her daughter, "Mother don't move, hurt her body." But I don't think what the rumor said is wrong, this thousand taels is indeed not a small amount, it is the cost of the entire Hou Mansion for two years, and our mother and daughter really can't take out so many silver taels. ”

Mu Liangxuan was anxious when he heard this, "You can't take it?" What can't you come up with? Isn't there still a dowry for Mu Yu? Take two of the dowry and sell them, and a thousand taels will be in hand? ”

Shen Meiyu, who has always been gentle, suddenly became fierce, and sure enough, this group of people will not let go when they are eyeing the dowry of the rumor. "Xuan'er, how far do you think the Luanping Marquis Mansion has to be down before it sells things? Could it be that you want to make the Luanping Marquis Mansion a laughing stock in the entire capital? ”

The old lady was also thinking of selling some of Mu Yu's dowry to pay off her debts, but when she suddenly heard Shen Mei say this, she also felt that there was some truth. If others hear that the Luanping Marquis Mansion needs to sell its property in order to make money, then the Luanping Marquis Mansion will really become a joke in other people's mouths.

Seeing the old lady's hesitation, Mu Yu continued, "My brother is in trouble to ask us to help, we will definitely not refuse, but the matter of selling the dowry is not that I am stingy, but if this matter falls into the ears of the Changting Marquis, then I am afraid that our Luanping Marquis Mansion will not be able to raise our heads for the rest of our lives in front of the Changting Marquis Mansion." You must know that the qualifications of our Luanping Marquis Mansion are much older than the Changting Marquis Mansion, and the reward for meritorious deeds back then was also the most face-saving in our Luanping Marquis Mansion. ”

After hearing this, the old lady really didn't continue to ask Mu Yu to take out the dowry, but Mu Liangxuan owed a large amount of gambling debts and had to pay it back, even if she couldn't sell the dowry, she had to deduct some silver from the mother and daughter.

"Then this thousand taels of silver, you also have to think about finding a way for Xuan'er, you can't not save Xuan'er when he dies!" The old lady looked anxious, and she was really anxious.

Seeing this, Mu Yu immediately changed his tone, looked at Mu Liangxuan with concern, and asked the old lady softly, "Grandmother, what did Xuan'er do wrong, and asked for a thousand taels?" Don't be fooled or anything? You might as well tell me about it, and I'll see if I can help Xuan'er. ”

The old lady wanted to be sarcastic, but when she looked up, she bumped into Mu Yu's worried eyes, and when the words came to her lips and she took them back, she was also a little panicked, and she really pinned her hopes on Mu Yu's body, her lips squirmed twice, and she began to talk about how Mu Liangxuan was cheated out of a thousand taels of silver.

Mu Yu naturally knew it, but when he listened to the story, he still suppressed the smile in his heart, rolled up his sleeves, and angrily hugged Mu Liangxuan, "It's too much, is this person really no one in our Luanping Marquis Mansion?" It bullied us! ”

Then she changed her tone again, "But this person called the gambling house to collect debts, that is really troublesome, although the Hou Mansion has a certain status in the capital, but what kind of place is this casino, eat people and don't spit out bones, if they offend them, let alone Luanping Houfu, I am afraid that it is the emperor, they also dare to ask for accounts." ”

The old lady also knows how lawless these casinos are, but now that she owes money, she has to close this hole no matter what, "Then what do you say?" ”

Mu Yu sighed, his face full of sadness, "Grandmother, it is obviously not possible to sell the things in the house, but I still have a hundred taels of private money in my hand, I will take it all out and give it to my younger brother, this matter must not be known to my father, you also know your father's temperament, even if you protect it, my father will have to break my brother's leg." ”

"How can a hundred taels be enough? Are you supposed to send Hanako? Mu Liangxuan didn't sell Mu Yu's account, he owed 1,300 taels, and only let Mu Yu take out 1,000 taels, which was already a lot less, "Since you are a big house, can't you take out 1,000 taels?" ”

"Brother, I can't let my father know about this matter, if the house is missing a thousand taels for no reason, do you think my father won't find out?" She didn't believe that she moved Mu Heyun out, and this old lady dared to force them to take the money?
