Chapter 248: Reason (3)
Looking at Mu Xiaojun's appearance of refusing to admit the account, Gu Yutang knew that she didn't bring so many silver taels when she came out this time.
And she opened her mouth and asked for 10,000 taels, which was not a small amount. However, for her, a county lord, and with a high-powered Mu Wangfu behind her, she can still take out these silver coins.
Since you can't take it out at this time, write the IOU and put it on the table. When she brought the money, she gave her the signed IOU.
Gu Yutang looked at the little county lord Mu in front of him, and saw that she was also looking at herself, her eyes were cold, and she looked at herself viciously. But I'm not afraid of her, she's seen a lot of such cows, ghosts, snakes, and gods.
Gu Yutang had a shallow smile on his face, and said, "Yutang knows that the county lord was in a hurry when he left home, and he didn't bring so much money, but it doesn't matter. Since the county lord did not have so much money at this time, I asked someone to write an IOU, and the county lord signed and pledged it for a period of one year.
If the county lord does not send the 20,000 taels to the Gu family within a year, we will forward this IOU to Mu Wangye on his behalf, and let Mu Wangye pay off the silver for the county lord. ”
After Gu Yutang finished speaking, the little maid who was already organic next to her brought a pen, ink, paper, inkstone, and moved a table over.
Listening to Gu Yutang's call, Mu Xiaojun Lord was so angry that he couldn't do it, his little face turned red with anger, his mouth was so angry that he pouted, his eyes were also filled with fire, and his eyes stared at Gu Yutang directly, but he didn't say a word.
scolded Gu Yutang in front of him for a while, this Gu Yutang is really becoming more and more daring! actually asked her to sign an IOU with a county lord, is it because she will cheat and not pay it back? However, it was only 20,000 taels of silver, and what they had in Mu Wangfu was that she would never sign an IOU and obey Gu Yutang's meaning!
"Miss Yutang, you asked me to sign the IOU, are you worried that I will not compensate your Gu family for the 20,000 taels of silver, or are you worried that Mu Wangfu will feel sorry for the 20,000 taels of silver and refuse to compensate you?"
Lord Mu still glared at Gu Yutang in front of him viciously, his eyes were full of fierceness.
Gu Yutang didn't care about her reaction, and still said lightly.
"County Lord, Yutang naturally believes that Mu Wangfu can repay these silver coins, as for you, County Lord, Yutang doesn't want to believe it. Besides, the teacup was smashed by the county lord himself, not by Prince Mu and Princess Mu, presumably the county lord will not drive the princess to compensate for the county lord's money, right?"
Where did Lord Mu dare to let Princess Mu know about this matter?
A few years ago, Princess Mu took the little princess Mu to Yongchang Bofu, dropped the old lady's favorite glass marquee, and blamed the four girls of Yongchang Bofu, but unfortunately she was seen by the eldest girl of Yongchang Bofu.
In order to avenge her own sister, in front of Mrs. Yongchangbo and Princess Mu, she sued the little county lord Mu and said that the little county lord Mu had damaged the glass lantern in the house.
In front of everyone's eyes, Princess Mu did not dare to protect her in front of Mrs. Yongchangbo, so she personally punished Lord Mu Xiaojun in front of everyone, and finally paid 10,000 taels of silver to Yongchangbo's mansion, and the matter was settled.
However, since then, Yongchang Bofu has never handed over the post to Mu Wangfu again, and Mu Wangfu is not good enough to hand over the post to Yongchang Bofu again.
Lord Mu Xiaojun listened to Gu Yutang say this, although he was angry in his heart, he didn't have to say anything, so he could only admit it.
But since she was told to admit it, where did she find so much silver to compensate? When she fled from the palace, she was in a hurry, and she didn't bring out the money that her mother usually gave her, but now she has a few hundred taels of silver, is it really possible for her to sign the IOU?
Lord Mu Xiaojun was a little at a loss, lowered his head and looked at the maid who was writing an IOU, and it didn't take much effort to write an IOU that belonged to her.
Seeing that the maid handed the IOU to Gu Yutang's hand, Lord Mu Xiaojun became a little flustered in his heart, and hurriedly said: "Miss Yutang, I don't have so much money on me now, and after I call someone to go back to Lijiang to get it, I will return it to the mansion?"
Mu Xiaojun said and glanced at Mother Zhang, who was standing beside her, and now she hoped that Mother Zhang could persuade Gu Yutang to accept the IOU.
She has never signed an IOU to anyone since she was a child, if she really signed an IOU, let alone her mother and father, even her brothers, they would not let her go easily.
The pearl of King Mu and his wife, the famous Mu Xiaojun Lord, signed an IOU for a few broken teacups. If it spreads, the reputation of Mu Wangfu will have to be picked up a mile away.
Mother Zhang naturally understood what her girl meant, nodded to Lord Mu Xiaojun, turned around and said to Gu Yutang.
"Miss Yutang, it's not that my county lord is unwilling to pay 20,000 taels to the Gu Mansion, but my county lord doesn't have much silver on him now. You also know that if the county lord of my family signs the Gu family's IOU, the reputation of our Mu Wangfu will really be lost. I'm afraid that at that time, the Gu family will not have a good time, right?"
"Mother Zhang, it's okay if the county lord doesn't want to sign this IOU, then ask the county lord to move out of the Gu Mansion and leave the Gu family.
Yutang knows that the eldest son of the county lord and the Marquis of Pingning Mansion has a marriage contract, the county lord is a pengpu who escaped from marriage, and Princess Mu has sent people to inspect everywhere, if the princess finds out that the county lord is in our mansion, it is our Gu family who has shielded the county lord, but I am afraid that our Gu family will not escape the involvement at that time. When the county lord thinks about himself, he also has to think about our family! ”
Instead of entangled with the little county lord of Namu, Gu Yutang simply said bluntly and asked her to leave the house.
If you don't go out of the house, sign the IOU, and when the time comes, if the people from the Mu Wangfu really come to the door and take the IOU out, I'm afraid that the people from the Mu Wangfu will not have the face to continue to track down the Gu family.
Hearing Gu Yutang say this, Mother Zhang immediately pulled Mu Xiaojun Lord to the side, looked around cautiously, and whispered a few words.
"County Lord, Miss Yutang knows that you are a pengpu who escaped from marriage, but I am afraid that other people in the mansion also know. Although you are now protected by Mrs. Cai, those people in the house will not drive us out for the time being, but Mrs. Cai can't see that it can't be done, so we still have to plan early. ”
Mother Zhang didn't say it, but Lord Mu also understood this truth. Now that she can continue to live in the mansion, it is entirely because of the Cai family, otherwise with her, a county lord who escaped from marriage, the Gu Mansion would have avoided her and driven her out of the mansion, where would she be willing to stay until today?
Taking advantage of the time when Zhang's mother pulled Mu Xiaojun into the screen to speak, Aunt Hong asked the little maid to serve a pot of Biluochun, which Gu Yutang loved to drink, and personally handed it to the high table next to Gu Yutang.
Then he took a fan, covered most of his face, and asked cautiously, "Third girl, is that Mu Xiaojun really from the marriage?" Why did I live in the house for most of the month, and I didn't even hear a shadow?"
"My aunt has always served in the sixth uncle's study, and rarely set foot in the inner courtyard, so my aunt naturally doesn't know what is going on here. Princess Mu had already promised the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion to the Lord of Mu Xiaojun, but for some reason, the Lord of Mu Xiaojun was unwilling to marry the eldest prince of the Pingning Marquis Mansion, so she escaped and came to Punpu. ”
Aunt Hong is not the same person as herself after all, so Gu Yutang didn't talk too much nonsense with her.
Gu Yutang was still sitting in the room, waiting for the little county lord to come out from behind the screen and give her a final answer. If Lord Mu insisted on refusing to leave, then she signed an IOU, and if Lord Mu Xiaojun figured it out to leave, she immediately instructed the maid to help them pack up and send them out.
Mu Wang and his wife have already ordered people to come down to investigate, if those people find out that it is the little county lord Mu who lives in the Gu Mansion, and it is the Gu Mansion that shields the little county lord Mu, I am afraid that the Gu Mansion wants to get rid of this matter, but I am afraid that it will be very difficult!
For today's plan, the only way to do this is to invite Lord Mu out as soon as possible.
Aunt Hong, who was sitting next to Gu Yutang, didn't know what to say, and after calling the little maid to report what happened in Ruiyue Courtyard to Gu Lihua, she kept staring at the person behind the screen.
