Chapter 262: Debt Collection
The old lady was half angry and shouted that she would find someone to arrest the person who came to collect the debt.
The man was not afraid of the old lady, and slowly took out an IOU, the name signed on it was the old lady's uncompetitive brother, and it was even written very clearly, if the money was not paid, let those people go to Situ Mansion to find the old lady.
The wedding between Situ Mansion and King Chen's Mansion caused a sensation in the capital, and the old lady, as the grandmother of King Chen's side concubine, must have money in her hands.
As everyone knows, the dowry that Situ Se received, or her dowry, the old lady can't get a copper coin, at most, Qi Yiting is giving the gift, symbolically giving the old lady some, but, no matter what, she can't make up enough for 10,000 taels!
And the debt collector has an IOU from the old lady's mother's house in his hand, which is to make trouble with the government, and the old lady is not seen.
The old lady was so angry that she almost fainted, and before leaving, the debt collector took out a piece of paper, semi-forcibly asked the old lady to sign a name, and pressed the handprint.
What was written on the paper was that if the old lady couldn't repay the money, then, when they found the old lady's mother's family, they would dispose of it as they pleased, whether it was to be caught for hard labor or sold, it was up to them to decide.
The people who came to collect the debts were all fierce and vicious, and the old lady was already frightened and weak, and when she saw that the people of her mother's family had left a huge amount of money to herself so unkindly, she was even more angry in her heart, so when the debt collector asked the old lady to sign her name, the old lady was angry, but for the sake of her own life, she still signed it.
Since then, the old lady has never heard from her mother's family again, and after a long time, the anger in the old lady's heart has subsided a little, and she wants to write a letter to her mother's family, but she has never received a reply.
I wanted to let the government be the master, but I didn't dare, and I couldn't pull my face to ask Situ Se, so I could only do this, and in the days to come, the old lady lived directly in Situ Mansion, and never mentioned that she wanted to leave.
She already only has Situ Suiqing to rely on.
Of course, that's an afterthought.
When Situ Se and Qi Yiting returned to the palace, it was just dark, and the nobles who came to the banquet began to come to the Hehuan Hall one after another.
Situ Se came early, and when he came, several important people in the palace had not yet arrived, and Princess Chen had not yet arrived, so Qi Yiting personally took Situ Se to the position and sat down.
The men and women sat separately, and Qi Yiting's position was next door, at this time, Qi Yiting personally sent Situ Se over, obviously getting everyone's attention.
Qi Yiting and Situ Se talked for a while before reluctantly leaving.
Not long after Situ Se left, some noble ladies present came forward to talk to Situ Se.
"Concubine Situ is really lucky, waiting to be treated like this by His Royal Highness King Chen."
"What secret do you have, why don't you tell us about it too, so that we can also ......" said a slightly bolder woman, and when it came to the latter words, she didn't continue, but just covered her face with a fan shyly, so she didn't look shy.
But the rest of the words, that everyone understands.
"There is no secret, treat people with sincerity, and people will treat me with sincerity." Situ Se said with a light smile, neither humble nor arrogant, will not make people think that she is superior, nor will people think that she is easy to deceive.
