Mrs. Yao knew that she was making a fuss and sighed, "It's nothing. I'll talk to her later."
Yuan Qingling looked at her and said: "You said you wanted to come to live with me, and I felt it was abnormal. I picked up Meng Xing, and you made her cry without saying anything. This is not like your style. What on earth are you doing?
What are you upset about? Can't you tell me?"
Mrs. Yao's eyes were bitter, "It's nothing, I just feel a little irritable for no reason. I'll adjust it and it'll be fine. I'm sorry for causing you trouble."
Yuan Qingling saw that she still didn't want to say anything, so she had to say: "We've met someone else. If you don't want to talk about it, don't talk about it. But you have to go out and coax Meng Xing well. It's rare for her to see you once. You didn't show me a loving mother and a filial son."
Instead, I would not like to teach her a lesson right away."
After saying that, she ignored Mrs. Yao and turned around and went out.
Mrs. Yao frowned with regret. After a moment of confusion, she also went out to coax Meng Xing.
While Man'er's wedding was being prepared, Chu Mingyang and Lin Xiao continued to communicate. Although Lin Xiao failed to recover Sun Quanwu's money for Chu Mingyang, he helped her pay the interest.
Mrs. Gu Er originally wanted to get her money back, but when there were rumors outside, she didn't care about the money. She only focused on clarifying and investigating. Although the case had been reported, the Yamen had not found out yet, which made her anxious.
Not good enough.
As for the Leng family, they also formally refused. Mrs. Leng even came in person and gave some gifts, indicating that it was not because of the rumors outside, but because she had no plans to get married yet, and would not do so in the next two years.
Will not get married.
Mrs. Gu Er naturally knew that it was a pushback, but how could she force it now? Mrs. Leng came here in person, which was considered a face-saving measure, and she also gave the Gu family such a good step down. She said that in the next two years, she would be calm.
If they don't get married, if they refuse the marriage and immediately go to another family, it will definitely make people think that it is because of the reputation of the fifth girl of the Gu family that they don't marry her.
Mrs. Gu Er was worried for a while, but she didn't find out the truth. Fortunately, people outside talked about it for a few days and it was no longer interesting, so they stopped talking about it, which was considered to have calmed down temporarily.
After calming down, she felt that no matter what, she had to get the money back first, so she sent someone to find Chu Mingyang to come to the house. However, Chu Mingyang had been hanging out with Lin Xiao recently. Like Yu Wenjun, he left early and came back late.
After two or three days of invitation, the invitation did not come back, which made Mrs. Gu very anxious. She thought that Chu Mingyang was hiding on purpose, so she decided to go there in person.
Now that Yu Wenjun was working for a living, he was very busy. He would go out as soon as he got up, and only came in around midnight in the evening. Basically, there were only servants and maids in the house.
However, after Yu Wenjun went out that day, he turned back at Xiangwu. He had dinner with others at noon. After eating too much, he felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach and wanted to go home and lie down.
He didn't see Chu Mingyang when he got home, so he asked the maid to make him tea and drank a small pot of tea. After eating and drinking, he felt a little more comfortable. He thought about lying down for a while, and then he heard Mrs. Gu coming.
He didn't think much of the Gu family in the past, but now because of Gu Si, he was even less willing to talk to them. Knowing that they were here to see Chu Mingyang, he greeted them in a polite way.
Mrs. Gu Er was very anxious, "When will she come back? It's been three days since I sent my servants to invite her, but she always says that she is not at home. I have something important to see her."
When Yu Wenjun heard this, he paid attention. He called the maid to come in and asked, "Does the eldest princess always go out recently?"
The maid was afraid of him and did not dare to hide it, and said: "Yes, Madam has been going out every day recently. After you went out, she left immediately and didn't come back until evening."
Yu Wenjun narrowed his eyes, "You go out every day? Where did you go? Why didn't I take you there?"
He knew that Chu Mingyang was a person who wanted to save face. If he went out to visit his friends, he would definitely have to bring his maid with him. How could he go out alone?
The maid shook her head, "I don't know."
Yu Wenjun remembered that when she came back in the evening recently, although she seemed to be indifferent, her mood seemed to be much better than before. She bought some new clothes and always put on makeup and powder.
He suddenly felt suspicious.
Chu Mingyang has a criminal record. This woman is very ambitious, vain and greedy for enjoyment. She always hopes to join the upper class again. Although she doesn't dare to complain after what happened before, her dead face can still tell that she is dissatisfied.
Could it be that she is hooking up with a man again?
Mrs. Gu Er was really anxious. Remembering that Chu Mingyang said that he introduced the shopkeeper who borrowed the money, she couldn't help but said: "Eldest Prince, although I shouldn't ask you about this matter, I can't find Yang'er, so I can only
Let me tell you first, Yang'er owes me money, and she said a few days ago that she would pay it back within three to five days. It has been several days, and she has no news from her side. Could you please ask that person on my behalf?
Shopkeeper, when can I pay back the money?"
"What money?" Yu Wenjun narrowed his eyes and asked.
When Mrs. Gu Er heard this, her eyes widened in astonishment, "Don't you know about the silver? She took hundreds of thousands of taels from me and loaned them out to collect interest. The lender said it was you who introduced me to the eldest prince, and he was from Jiangnan.
The rich businessman is called Shopkeeper Sun."
"Several hundred thousand taels?" Yu Wenjun jumped up in shock.
"Yes, three hundred thousand taels!" Mrs. Gu Er's voice changed slightly, "Don't you know about this? You don't know Shopkeeper Sun either?"
Yu Wenjun didn't expect that Chu Mingyang would do such a thing behind his back. How much interest could he earn in a month if he took out hundreds of thousands of taels for loans? This bitch actually dared to make a fortune without telling him.
"Of course I know Shopkeeper Sun!" Yu Wenjun knew that Chu Mingyang deliberately hid it from him because he didn't want to share the money with him. But now that he knows, the money has to be divided equally. "I also know about the loan, but I don't know that Mrs.
of silver.”
"It's not just mine, there are others. I heard there are millions of taels. It would be great if the eldest prince knows. Can you ask shopkeeper Sun to get my share back first? I need it urgently." Mrs. Gu Er said.
.
Yu Wenjun almost cursed when he heard these words. This bitch is really clever. He got millions of taels. If he hadn't used them for loans and used them to do big business, he would have made them long ago.
Yu Wenjun thought that since he had several million taels lying outside, he didn't care about Mrs. Gu's 300,000 taels, so he said: "Okay, if you really want to take it back, I'll talk to shopkeeper Sun about borrowing the money."
, this is your love and my wish."
Mrs. Gu Er didn't expect it to go so smoothly. She was overjoyed and quickly thanked her with a more respectful attitude than before.
Yu Wenjun saw these high-ranking ladies bowing their eyebrows in front of him. He felt like he was back to the past. He couldn't help but become a little crazy. He raised his hand and said, "Okay, go back and get the money and ask someone to come to your house to say hello. It's you."
It doesn’t matter if you come here to get it or I order someone to deliver it.”
"I sent someone to get it. I don't dare to trouble the eldest prince." For the sake of the money, Mrs. Gu did not dare to treat him lightly.
Yu Wenjun was very satisfied with her attitude and invited her to have tea. Mrs. Gu made an excuse that she had something to do at home and left without staying.
