Chapter 221: Exposed
"What is this?"
The crowd gathered around, looking curiously at a wooden box that the man was holding.
Everyone opened the box in front of them, and there was a burst of disappointed boos.
"I thought I had a silver ticket hidden, but I didn't expect it to be just a few broken letters!"
"This room full of things is not even worth a copper plate," someone mocked, "how can you leave a box of silver tickets down, think too much!" ”
"Alas!"
Someone suddenly became worried, "I thought that Xue Shi was standing behind Shuguifei Niangniang, and it was impossible not to pay back." I didn't rush to ask him for the three months of the debt, but I didn't want this person to run away with the money, which was really hateful! ”
"Isn't that it?" The boss next to him felt the same way, "Now in this field, we can't go to Shuguifei Niangniang to ask for an explanation, it's really annoying!" ”
Several bosses who didn't give up on opening the letterhead suddenly shouted, "Look at this letter, behind Xue Shi is the Changning Hou Mansion!" ”
"Changning Hou Mansion?"
For a moment, several heads pressed into the letterhead.
"Look, it is said here that if the money can't be turned, you can go to the Changning Marquis Mansion to get it!"
"Let's go! Let's go to the Marquis of Changning's Mansion to seek justice! Get back the money that Xue Shi owes the big guy! ”
The crowd was angry, and the large army rushed to the Changning Marquis Mansion.
At that time, the Ouyang clan was dealing with all kinds of chores in the Hou Mansion, and when they heard the steward come to report that a group of people were coming to collect debts in front of the side door, they were stunned for a moment and went to the side door with a few stewards.
There was a boiling at the side door, attracting many passers-by to stop and watch.
"Pay off your debts! Unalterable principle! ”
Ouyang stepped out of the side door, frowning at the crowd, she slowly raised her hand and looked at the man in charge, "What kind of debt do you dare to ask?" Why do you come to my Changning Marquis Mansion to make a noise? ”
The leading man raised the letter in his hand, accusing Xue Shi of his evil deeds, and asked Ouyang to give an explanation and repay the debt owed by Xue Shi as soon as possible.
Ouyang Shi laughed for a while, "Everyone knows that I have an embroidery workshop called Yingyue Building under my name. ”
She spoke unhurriedly, and seeing that everyone was quiet, she continued, "Yulan Fang and Yingyue Building are in competition with each other, what does it have to do with my Changning Hou Mansion?" ”
As soon as these words came out, the boss of Huai'an Buzhuang, who had not been silent, couldn't help but say, "I know this." ”
He told him in public how Yulanfang coerced and lured him to snatch the order of 20% of the condensed Huaijin that belonged to Yingyue Building, "As far as I know, Yulanfang and Yingyue Lou are indeed in a fighting relationship. Isn't this letter left to frame the Marquis of Changning? ”
The crowd was silent for a moment.
"I wonder if you can lend me the letter?" Ouyang asked politely.
The leading man answered and asked the steward of the Marquis of Changning Mansion to take the letter.
Ouyang spread out the letter paper and looked at it intently.
This letter should have been written shortly after the opening of Magnolia Fang, and it was indeed written that if the capital turnover was not good, he could come to the Changning Hou Mansion to get the money.
Ouyang's eyebrows frowned slightly, his gaze gradually fell, and his pupils shrank sharply when he landed on the place.
The word 'Shujuan' was written at the check-in place!
Shujuan is Luo's maiden name!
Ouyang Shi clenched the letter tightly, maintaining a gentle and generous smile on his face, "Whether what is said on the letterhead is true or false, the Hou Mansion still needs to take some time to confirm." Why don't you have some tea and snacks in the side hall and wait for a while? ”
Instructed the steward to greet everyone, and Ouyang hurriedly went to Shou'an Hall with a letterhead.
The old lady read the letter, and her face was cloudy.
She had heard a little about the things between Yingyue Tower and Magnolia Fang.
If this Magnolia Fang is really related to Luo's, the motive behind this is chilling.
With a cold face, she took the Ouyang family and a group of grandmothers, and the old lady went straight to Shu Zhuyuan.
Luo still had a grudge against the old lady in his heart, and when he saw such a battle, he reluctantly greeted him.
Since the confinement, the old lady came to exempt Roche from kneeling, so she just lay on the bed and owed a debt.
The old lady still had a cold face, and the gentle and smiling Ouyang clan also lost his smile, and Luo suddenly felt uneasy when he looked at it.
"Second daughter-in-law, take a look for yourself."
At the signal of the old lady, Mama Li handed the letter to Luo.
Roche took the letter, first looked at everyone suspiciously, and then casually landed his gaze on the letter.
With just one look, her face turned white.
"This, this ......"
"What is this?"
The old lady sneered, "How could this have fallen into our hands?" Let me ask you, did you open this Magnolia Fang? What is the relationship between you and Xue Shi? ”
Roche's lips twitched, and he couldn't reply.
She lowered her eyes and kept thinking in her heart, but her brain couldn't turn after giving birth to a child, and she was stupid and didn't know how to give birth.
Jiang Shuqi, who was accompanying him, glanced at the letter paper curiously, and his face turned pale when he saw the payment.
Regarding the matter of Magnolia Fang, Luo never told her.
But during this time, Mama Qiu told her a lot of various things that happened in Tianhao City, including the embroidery tribute meeting and the situation of various embroidery workshops.
Seeing that Luo Shi trembled his hands and didn't know how to reply, Jiang Shuqi thought for a while, as if there was no evil way, "Mother, but Shugui Concubine Niangniang asked you to give Yulanfang silver?" ”
"That's right! Right! Luo Shi grabbed the driftwood like a man in the water, got up and knelt down towards the old lady, "Is it the daughter-in-law?" knew that Magnolia Fang was hostile to Yingyue Building, and he also helped Shuguifei Niangniang. ”
"But Concubine Shugui is the daughter-in-law's sister after all, it's really ......"
She looked at Ouyang with tears in her eyes, "Eldest sister, brother and sister are sorry for you, you won't blame me, right?" ”
The old lady looked at Luo with an expressionless face, and so did Ouyang, who didn't mean to let her get up.
Luo Shi shook his body and raised his eyes, "Really, my daughter-in-law doesn't dare to have a trace of lies." It was Concubine Shugui who coerced her daughter-in-law, and her daughter-in-law had to help her. Mother and eldest sister please Mingjian! ”
Ouyang pulled the corners of his mouth, "Xue Shi escaped, and Yulanfang owes a lot of silver." Now the debtor took this letter to the Hou Mansion to ask for money, and the second brother and sister said what to do? ”
Luo's body stiffened, she didn't expect the matter to be so big, she shook her mouth, "How much money do you owe in total?" ”
Ouyang Shi looked back, and the steward she arranged to count the arrears took two steps forward and said a few words in her ear.
"About fifteen thousand taels of silver," Ouyang frowned, "This is just the person who came to ask for debts today, and it is not excluded that there are other families." ”
"Fifteen thousand taels?" Roche fell to the ground with a thud and muttered, "How can you owe so much money?" ”
"The person who asks for the debt is in the side hall," Ouyang said coldly, "What are the second brothers and sisters going to do?" ”
Luo gritted his teeth and felt a fishy sweetness in his mouth, "I came out with this silver, and the trouble I brought to the Hou Mansion and the eldest sister is not mine." ”
"It's about the reputation of the Hou Mansion, it's not appropriate to leave people in the Hou Mansion for a long time," Ouyang turned his head to the old lady to ask, "Mother, the second brother and sister are in confinement, this matter will be handled by the daughter-in-law, do you think it's appropriate?" ”
The old lady agreed.
"In this way, I will ask the second brother and sister to take the steward to get the silver ticket."
Luo's heart was dripping with blood, and his pale face responded.
