Chapter 629: Forced Debts
"Lan'er, I'm about to die."
"What nonsense, you're still young, eat more." She blocked him back with his own words, and Chu Muhan shrugged his shoulders and had to stuff all the bowl into his mouth.
After eating, he left for the gambling house, Yun Jinglan washed and slept, but he couldn't sleep after tossing and turning in bed, he wasn't worried that Chu Muhan would also go to gamble, she was just worrying about Concubine Jin's affairs, she had been investigating for so long, Chu Muhan's patience was almost worn out, and there was no news in the palace, is this matter really hopeless?
No, she couldn't just sit still, she sat up from the bed suddenly, put on her cloak and was about to open the door, Poria who was guarding the door was startled, "Princess, what's wrong?" ”
"It's okay, I just can't sleep." She shook her head and wrapped her cloak around her hand.
Poria stretched out her hand to help her into the house, afraid that she would freeze and close the door intimately, so she lit a candle, and with the help of the light, Yun Jinglan's irritable mood also improved, "Otherwise, the slave will go and hand over the aster to make some snacks for the princess." ”
"No need Poria cocos, you will go out with Luokui Xinyi and Ziyuan tomorrow, and check for me if there are any fish that have slipped through the net about Concubine Jin back then." These girls have been running around with her lately, and they haven't had time to be sent to help check it out.
"But if Ah Xin is left alone, we are afraid of ......"
"It's okay, I haven't interrupted going out these days, it's always safe to stay in the palace, plus the snow herbs have been crushed a lot that day, tomorrow I will plant some herbs in the mansion with Ah Ming." She added that she was planting herbs to convince Poria that she would not go out.
Seeing this, Poria had nothing to insist on, so she had to nod, but at this time, Chu Muhan pushed the door and came in, "Why haven't you slept yet?" He untied the cloak, Poria took it and hung it up, since Chu Muhan was back, the princess naturally didn't need her to accompany her, she closed the door, and Yun Jinglan couldn't wait to greet her, "How is it?" ”
"Don't worry, the owner of this gambling house was originally inconvenient to come to collect debts due to his identity, and with my support, he will naturally no longer scruple about it, most of the people who dare to open a gambling house are not easy to mess with, this time Chu Zijin is afraid that he will dig his own grave." He was a little cold, so he approached the charcoal basin, and Yun Jinglan unfolded his cloak and reached out from him to carry the person.
Chu Muhan was anxious to push her away, "I just came back from outside, my body is cold, don't freeze you." ”
"It's because you're cold that I'm here to warm you up." She is also stubborn, the more Chu Muhan wanted to push her, but she hugged her tighter, Chu Muhan was helpless, so he had to take her hand and pull her into his arms, Yun Jinglan struggled to get up, "Aren't you going to give me a warmth?" That's fine, I feel warm in my heart when I hug Lan'er. ”
Yun Jinglan obediently leaned into his arms.
On the second day, there was a fierce knock on the door of the Chu Mansion, and the housekeeper opened the door and was about to ask, but was pushed open by this group of people viciously, "What about your master, ask him to come out and call us the boss!" ”
The housekeeper was scared and angry, "What are you, you dare to make trouble if you know what my master is?!" ”
"You know, isn't it just a deposed prince? It is natural to repay debts, even if you go to the emperor, it is so reasonable. ”
Chu Zijin, who was belated, saw one of them, and immediately turned his head and wanted to leave, but fortunately, one of these people grabbed his arm and pulled him back, "Brother Chu, don't come here for a long time." ”
Yun Wankey, who heard the news, followed into the courtyard, and was a little scared when she saw such a group of outlaws, and the owner of the gambling house looked at her with a smile, "Madam, don't worry, we're not bandits, it's just that Gongzi Chu borrowed some money from us some time ago, and it's been a few days, should I pay it back." ”
"You said you can borrow it?" Yun Wankey is a dead duck with a hard mouth, but Chu Zijin lowered his head and didn't dare to make a sound, when he borrowed this money, he did write an IOU, and this is not a small amount, and even the principal and interest are even more terrible, and now the Chu Mansion really does not have this money to repay.
The owner of the gambling house took out a few IOUs from his arms, and raised Yun Wankey, she stretched out her hand in a hurry and wanted to grab it, but the boss took the first step and put away the IOUs, "Since Madame has also seen this white and black letter clearly, she must not be able to deny it, the two of you are noble, and you must not owe me this little money." ”
"How can you owe so much!" Of course, Yun Wanjian also knows the economic situation of this Chu Mansion, 10,000 taels is not even interest, how can they have such money to repay the debt, and they were so anxious that they wanted to cry out at the moment, Chu Zijin was like a turtle with a shrunken head, he only lowered his head and didn't dare to say anything, money, he did borrow, and the interest note was also clearly written, at that time, he was eager to win the money back, and if he changed it on the same day, there would be no interest.
Who knew that he had lost 10,000 taels again and again, he had entered the palace to accompany Sun Concubine in the past few days, and the plans were all big things, and this matter was forgotten by him, he originally thought that he would not dare to make a mistake if he was afraid of his identity, but now he was disturbed by someone in the house, which made him lose face.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Yun Wanjian had no choice but to refocus on the person in front of him, "What the hell are you doing, why did you borrow so much money?" ”
"We, don't do anything else, just open a gambling house, your lord can't afford to lose, so he borrowed so much, it's all what you want me to do, and it's only natural to pay back the money." The owner of the gambling house is good-tempered, and he is still patient to explain it to them at this time, after all, these two are not ordinary people, although he has Chu Muhan's guarantee, he will inevitably be cautious and cautious in doing things.
Yun Wankey's face turned pale when she heard this, "We can't come up with so much money now...... Can you give a few days of grace......"
"What day is it?" The owner of the gambling house is also stupid, he has heard this kind of thing too many times, and his ears are calloused.
"That's it...... Just three days...... "Her mind is spinning fast, such a large amount of 10,000 taels can't be made up for a while, but she is also the eldest lady of Yunfu, Chu Zijin still has the support of the Sun family after all, and three days should be enough.
"Okay, then give Mrs. a face, and we'll come back in three days, I hope no one will go to the empty building then."
Yun Wanjian pretended to be calm and said, "No, with our identity, I promise." ”
