Shen Wan didn't believe a single word of Xiao Wu's words, but Song Heng and the others believed them without a doubt.
"I still have something to report to the general," Xiao Wu said again.
"What's the matter?"
Xiao Wu first said to Song Ziling: "I'm sorry, young master, I can't hide it for you anymore." After that, he said to Song Heng: "General, the young master lost at the gambling table and wants to continue playing. So I borrowed money from the shopkeeper of Ruyi Building to gamble. Now I owe 20,000 taels of silver due to the interest on the gambling debt. The shopkeeper said that if the money is not paid in the past two days, he will have to take it the next day. The young master came to ask for the IOU."
"Twenty thousand taels?" Ms. Liu was shocked, rolled her eyes and fell straight back.
"Old Madam" Grandma Wang who was closest to her quickly supported her.
"Mother" Lin Qingxue hurriedly stepped forward and supported Ms. Liu.
"Mother" Song Heng also turned around and stepped forward to check on Mrs. Liu.
Grandma Wang pinched Mrs. Liu's body, and Mrs. Liu slowly woke up.
"Ziling, you..." Mrs. Liu pointed at Song Ziling with a trembling finger. There was disappointment and pain in her eyes, but she was speechless.
Seeing Mrs. Liu like this, Shen Wan thought to herself: "Is this old lady paralyzed by anger? She can't even say these words."
"First help the old lady go back to the inner room to rest, and then invite a doctor." Song Heng ordered.
"Yes." Grandma Wang called two maids to come forward and helped Mrs. Liu into the back room.
Seeing Mrs. Liu being helped into the back room, Song Heng turned around and walked up to Song Ziling with a livid face. He roughly grabbed his collar and dragged him outside the house.
If you let this brat stay here, your mother will be pissed to death.
Song Ziling was frightened and cried loudly: "Second mother, please help me."
"Husband" Lin Qingxue called out and hurriedly followed her. How could she miss such a good show like Song Ziling being beaten?
Shen Wan also quickly got up and chased out. Song Heng dragged Song Ziling towards the ancestral hall. Because Song Ziling could not stand up, he was dragged by Song Heng against the ground. Because he was overweight, the friction was also great. The bluestone-paved floor tore through his pants and skinned his knees and calves, leaving some shocking blood stains on the ground.
Lin Qingxue followed along at a trot, and smiled when she saw the blood stains on the ground. This time, my husband was really, really, really, really angry! This time, no one could save Song Ziling, a loser.
The General's Mansion will definitely not be able to get out the gambling debt of 20,000 taels. When the people from Ruyilou come to the door with the IOU, the face of the General's Mansion will be completely ruined by Song Ziling, and his reputation will naturally be ruined. If it's over, the academy will expel him after finding out about it, and his husband will only become more disgusted with him.
The husband also cares about his own face and reputation. The gambling debt must be repaid. The father-in-law cannot take it out. Since she doesn’t have so much here, he will definitely let that country woman Shen Wan take the things from her warehouse. Came out to pay Song Ziling's gambling debt.
Shen Wan chased her all the way to the ancestral hall. When she arrived at the entrance of the ancestral hall, Lin Qingxue had just entered.
