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?" Mrs. 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, her eyes filled with disappointment and pain, 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 learning 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.
As soon as she stepped into the ancestral hall, she saw Song Heng raising the whip in his hand to whip Song Ziling.
"Stop." She shouted, and Song Heng stopped and looked at her with his whip raised.
Song Heng looked at Shen Wan in confusion and thought to himself: "In the past, Zi Ling made a mistake and I wanted to hit Zi Ling. Wan'er never let me stop, let alone persuade me. Why did she ask me to stop today?"
"Mother, mother, save me." Song Ziling, whose eyes were filled with tears, saw Shen Wan coming over, so he crawled to her side and hid behind her.
He never expected that at this moment, the person who asked his father to stop would be his own mother. His second mother, who usually protected him in every possible way, did not say a word for him. Instead, she said that he had let her down by going too far. .
"Wan'er, what are you doing?" Song Heng asked, frowning.
Shen Wan raised her eyebrows and said, "What? Of course you are not allowed to hit him."
"Sister" Lin Qingxue frowned and said, "You are not protecting Zi Ling, you are harming him!"
Shen Wan was happy, tilted her head and looked at Lin Qingxue and said: "In the past, this brat made a mistake and hit someone. When Song Heng wanted to hit him, didn't you protect him in every possible way? You also said that I am a cruel mother. , if you don't help me to plead for mercy, why am I harming him now that I'm protecting him? You guys have too high standards."
"..." Lin Qingxue was silenced by Shen Wan and could only grit her teeth secretly.
Song Heng said calmly: "Wan'er, Song Ziling made a huge mistake this time. He can't do it without fighting. Get out of the way."
"What is a huge mistake? Did he kill someone? Or set a fire?" Shen Wan asked three times in succession. Wasn't it just that he was lured into the casino and lost 20,000 taels of silver under the instigation and design of others?
Song Heng took a deep breath and said: "At a young age, he did not learn well and gambled, and even owed a gambling debt of 20,000 taels."
"As you know, he is still young. He is usually protected by his family, and he is full of curiosity about unknown things. He cannot withstand temptation, and he does not know how sinister people are. He will enter the casino. It's just out of curiosity." After saying that, Shen Wan turned to look at Song Ziling and asked: "If you knew from the beginning that Ruyi Building was a casino, would you still go in?"
Song Ziling thought for a moment, shook his head quickly and said, "No."
Although he is playful and likes new things, he knows that the casino is not a good place. If he had known it was a casino from the beginning, he would not have gone in, but would have gone to fight crickets. The reason why he went to the gambling table was because It was just because of what Shopkeeper Gou said and because it was interesting to see those crazy people in the casino.
Lin Qingxue said: "But he went in and gambled in the casino for several days, and owed a gambling debt of twenty thousand taels."
No matter what, this is an unchangeable fact.
"Yes, he gambled for several days and owed a lot of money. Have you ever thought about it, this casino always has winners and losers. How could he be so unlucky? In just four days, So he lost 20,000 taels of silver. Maybe the people in the casino saw that he was a child and was easy to deceive, so they instigated him to gamble and set up a game for him!" Since ancient times, there have been few clean adults in this casino. It's not that easy to be deceived, but this kid is easy to deceive, and he can't stand the instigation and instigation of others. What's more, this Song Ziling is still a brainless person.
Song Ziling suddenly remembered something and nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I lost all my money and didn't want to gamble anymore. The shopkeeper kept instigating me to continue gambling, and even offered to lend me some money." I’ll win my money back.”
At that time, he thought that shopkeeper Gou was very good! Now that he thought about it, he was setting him up. He was really stupid.
Lin Qingxue glanced at Shen Wan and thought to herself: "In this country, we usually ignore Song Ziling. Why are we excusing him today?"
