Chu Yuqin's words made Jiang feel embarrassed.

She was silent for a moment, then said, "I'll find a way to scrape together the money and pay it back to you." ”

"Sister-in-law should have a dowry shop, right?" Chu Yuqin saw that she was so unclear, so she simply pointed it out.

"Naturally, there is." Jiang said.

"How much is my sister-in-law's dowry shop worth?" Chu Yuqin said again.

"This ......," Jiang thought for a moment. There were five shops in total, which should be worth four thousand silver together. ”

"Even if you use your sister-in-law's shop to resist the pressure, it doesn't seem to be worth 10,000 taels of silver." Chu Yuqin said: "Is there anything else?" For example, marrying Zhuangzi and the like. ”

Jiang's face turned red.

She originally had two families to marry Zhuangzi, but now they are no longer in her name.

She didn't need to answer, Chu Yuqin had already seen the answer from her expression.

"I'll write you an IOU, and I'll put those dowry shops against you. I know that these are far less than ten thousand taels of silver. If I really can't come out, let the Jiang family return it to you. Is that okay? Jiang twisted his handkerchief and spoke nervously.

Chu Yuqin beckoned to Zhu Xue who was not far away. Zhu Xue walked over.

"You go and get my little box out."

Zhu Xue said yes.

It didn't take long for Zhu Xue to come out with a small box.

Chu Yuqin took out a small key from the purse on his waist and opened the small box.

Then take out a stack of silver tickets from inside.

"Here are 10,000 taels of silver tickets. Sister-in-law put it away. ”

"I'll send the IOU when I get back." Jiang stiffly took the silver ticket.

"Okay." Chu Yuqin readily agreed.

"Then I'll take my leave." After Jiang finished speaking, he left with the silver ticket.

Qiu Yin walked over and said to Chu Yuqin, "Why did the young lady borrow so much silver? Madam, you actually agreed. With such a large sum of silver, even if you don't borrow it, who can say about you? ”

"Did she meet someone from the Jiang family today?" Chu Yuqin asked. "Just ask around and you'll know if I'm wrong in my guess."

"It's simple. The slave and maid immediately asked. After Zhu Xue finished speaking, she walked outside.

So the slave and maid went back to rest. Anyway, with the prince accompanying his wife, there must be no need for slaves and maids to get in the way here. ”

Qiu Yin finished speaking with a smile, dodging Chu Yuqin's sneak attack and running away quickly.

Chu Yuqin entered the room.

Ling Shengyi was tending to the pot of orchids she had planted in her room.

"As long as there is a lady, even the flowers will bloom so delicately."

Chu Yuqin leaned over and hugged his waist from behind: "If I am not there one day, will you let other women live here?" ”

"What nonsense?" Ling Shengyi's heart ached.

He put down the watering can in his hand, turned around and hugged Chu Yuqin: "Where do you want to go?" You can't go anywhere but by my side. ”

"I'm just asking, why are you so excited?" Chu Yuqin smiled.

"I don't want to hear that." Ling Shengyi held her in his arms and strained his hands.

"It hurts." Chu Yuqin was coquettish. "What are you holding so tightly?"

"I'm going to tie you up so you don't fly." Ling Shengyi's voice was hoarse. "At that moment, I really felt ...... I was about to lose my breath. ”

"I'm sorry, I won't talk this nonsense in the future." Chu Yuqin apologized. "By the way, do you know what my sister-in-law just asked me to do?"

"Borrow money?" Ling Shengyi let go of her and guessed.

"How do you know?" Chu Yuqin let him sit down in his arms.

"The Jiang family is a mess. The eldest young master of the Jiang family always owes gambling debts outside, which is something that everyone knows. The Jiang family has long since declined. At first, my father did not want to fulfill the marriage contract between the two families. However, the Jiang family is very smart, and the matter of marrying the two families is very big, so that our Ling Guo Mansion has to fulfill this marriage contract. So they got married. Ling Shengyi said: "My eldest brother looks like he has no quarrel with the world, but he actually has his own ideas in his heart. He did not treat this lady badly, but he would not give her the power of his wealth. So the sister-in-law can't control his property. ”

"The Jiang family is a bottomless pit. The sister-in-law was a little better before she got married, at least she could protect the most basic face. I don't know what stimulated me recently, the eldest young master of the Jiang family owes more and more debts, and he was troubled yesterday and almost died. When she looks for you today, she must be desperate, so she can only borrow money from you. ”

As the husband and wife were talking, a voice came from outside.

Chu Yuqin stood up from Ling Shengyi's arms, opened the door and walked out.

I saw that Jiang's maid was talking to Zhu Xue.

The two saw Chu Yuqin coming over, and saluted Chu Yuqin at the same time.

"Madame Shizi, this is something that our wife gave you. Please also take a look. The maidservant said politely.

Chu Yuqin took it, opened it and glanced at it, and said, "Okay, I received it." Tell you young lady and let her relax. I'll give her plenty of time. ”

"Thank you, Mrs. Shiko." The maidservant took the goods and left.

Zhu Xue said to Chu Yuqin: "Madam, you are right, the mother of the eldest young lady, that is, Mrs. Jiang, has been to the Lingguo Mansion. When she left, Mrs. Jiang's eyes were red, and Mrs. Young also cried. Most of the money borrowed this time was for the affairs of their Jiang Mansion. ”

"I see. Rest early! Chu Yuqin said.

"Madam, the slave is very worried. Ten thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. The young lady didn't look like she could afford to pay back the money. Zhu Xue said.

"You girl really likes to worry about it. Does it make a big difference to me whether there are 10,000 taels of silver or not? If I don't, I don't have much to lose. Chu Yuqin said.

"The slave almost forgot that our lady is a well-known wealthy God of Wealth in the capital. Madam, give some silver to the slave and maid to add makeup! Zhu Xue stretched out her hand flatteringly.

Chu Yuqin slapped Zhu Xue's palm: "I will give you a big slap." ”

"Madame is so stingy." Zhu Xue grimaced and ran away.

Chu Yuqin returned to the room and handed the IOU to Ling Shengyi to see.

Ling Shengyi looked at the IOU, and then looked at the several house deeds and title deeds that were sent over together.

"These things are not worth two thousand taels of silver. borrowed your 10,000 taels of silver with this kind of thing, I really don't know if this sister-in-law is pretending to be stupid, or if I really don't know. Ling Shengyi said.

She looked like she was untouched. Maybe I really don't know! Chu Yuqin said.

"Why did you say yes?" No matter how smart Ling Shengyi was, he couldn't guess Chu Yuqin's thoughts.

Chu Yuqin put the things into the small box and said lightly: "She came to me to borrow silver, if I don't borrow it, won't it seem that I am stingy?" ”

"Is this the reason? You should not be someone who cares about what other people think. Ling Shengyi obviously didn't believe such a reason.

"10,000 taels of silver to buy a deficit, I think it's very profitable! If something happens in the future, the sister-in-law will always be the one who is at fault. If I have a conflict with her, others will not say that my concubine is not good to her. Even 10,000 taels of silver are willing to take it out, how many concubines in the world can do this? What's more, I am now her creditor, and she does not dare to play tricks on me. ”
