Chapter 3 Debt Collectors and Debts
"Just now, what Ma Da was in charge of was the last profit of our mansion..."

"..." Li Yewu.

"But don't worry, the master's reward will arrive soon, and then we will have some turnover again."

"..." Li Yewu.

"Little madam, this old slave has cleaned the courtyard for you, you should go to rest first..."

Before the old butler finished speaking, the porter hurried in.

"The housekeeper is not good, the creditor... the creditor has come to the door."

"What?" The old housekeeper panicked.

He glanced at Li Yewu who had just arrived, and hurriedly said to Zi Cui: "Hurry up, take the little lady back to the yard first..."

"It's already this time, why are you still hiding?"

"King Shang's wedding, no matter what, we should come to celebrate."

"Where is Princess Shang, if you dare to disturb me, please don't move and rest."

Four or five well-dressed people entered the palace hall one after another, and they began to be aggressive before they saw Li Yewu.

The old butler wanted to speak, but those people quickly stopped him.

"Old butler, don't say anything. Taihe City has already spread the word, and the concubine arrived today. Since the concubine is here, can you give us justice?"

"That's right, we don't ask too much, just settle these IOUs."

"My family has the least, so it's okay to settle my family's first."

……

Facing the chattering crowd, Li Yewu looked at Zi Cui for help, and Zi Cui whispered in Li Yewu's ear with insight.

"They are rich merchants in Taihe City, and the master has borrowed a lot of silver from them."

"..." Li Yewu.

In the past, when creditors came to the door, the housekeeper could still send them away with the reason that "the prince is not in Taihe City". Now that Li Yewu appeared, it means that the palace has someone to talk to.

After all, asking the hostess to write off the account is no different from asking the male host to write off the account. The Shang Palace can't find any more excuses, can it?
Therefore, the creditors immediately brought their servants to the door, and some princesses avoided seeing them, and everyone seemed to tear their faces.

Looking at all this, Li Yewu was almost numb, first the bandits and then the creditors, one or two all asked for money, the problem... what does it matter to her?It's not her debt.

As if they understood Li Yewu's expression, the wealthy households spoke unhurriedly.

"We didn't mean to embarrass the princess on purpose, but the princess and the prince are one. Naturally, if the prince is not around, he will look for you. We have nothing to do. We all want to live, so please pity us."

Li Yewu could tell that although Xiao Jiuxi was the king of Taihe, he didn't have much prestige in this place, and he didn't even think about managing the land well.

Look at this chaotic scene... won't Xiao Jiuxi's conscience hurt!He actually had the heart to throw his savior here, the original owner might as well stay in the imperial capital and sell flowers!Anyway, don't have to face debt.

Li Yewu looked at the crowd with black lines all over his face: "Although I sympathize with you very much, let me declare first that I am not the princess, and I should not be responsible for this debt."

"what?"

"Aren't you a princess? Stop joking."

"It's useless for you to say no now, you can't deceive us."

Everyone looked shrewd and decisive, as if they were saying, don't try to fool me.

Li Yewu was not in a hurry, she just looked at the housekeeper, "Old housekeeper, what did you call me?"

"Little madam."

"If it's the wife that Wang Yeming is marrying, what should she be called?"

"Uh, of course it's the princess."

The old butler answered with a guilty conscience but honestly.

"What do you mean by this?" Hearing the two men singing the oboe back and forth, the creditors were immediately upset.

"Are you still addicted to acting?"

"We won't be fooled."

Li Yewu didn't follow their rhythm, just smiled: "The princess is married by the emperor, three books and six gifts, four hardware hardware, eight big sedan chairs, ten miles of red makeup, phoenix crown and Xiapei, the Ming matchmaker is marrying back to the house.

And me, you all have seen His Majesty's edict of bestowing marriage?Or see three books, six rites, four hires and hardware? "

Everyone frowned: "Those...you are married in the imperial capital, how can we see it?"

Li Yewu smiled: "Even if you can't see this, Shili Hongzhuang should follow me to Taihe City. Have you ever seen my Shili Hongzhuang?"

Everyone was silent.

Li Yewu continued: "Furthermore, Ma Da's robbery in public just now must have been hidden from everyone. You should know whether I have the ability to settle the debt of the king of the king."

The implication is that it is useless to find me, I have neither money nor power, I am just a tool person.

Now the creditors are in a hurry: "You... you... imply that you want to renege on your debt?"

Li Yewu sighed helplessly: "I also want to help the king of Shang to solve the problems, and I also want to solve the debt problem for everyone, but as you can see, I really have more than I can do."

The creditors gasped, and seemed to see Xiao Jiuxi in a trance, the two faces were exactly the same!
The old housekeeper and the servants also looked surprised at first, and then silently covered their faces with shame.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into an awkward silence.

The creditors never expected that the princess would be like this. They thought that the IOUs of the mansion would be canceled once King Shang married the concubine, but now, the day of cancellation of the IOUs is even more distant.

Thinking that the return of the money was nowhere in sight, and it was useless for the wife to beat and scold him, one of the creditors angrily lifted his robe and sat on the ground in front of everyone: "I don't care, if I don't get the money today, I won't leave."

The uncle thought to himself, if you are the only one who can play tricks, so can I!

The money is gone, what do you want to do with this shame, you have to rely on everyone, let's see who has relied on whom!

"..." Li Yewu.

To be honest, ancient times was an era when people were most observant of etiquette, especially those with social status, they would not do things that were unrestrained, let alone let them sit on the ground like three-year-old children and play tricks.

It seems that there is really no way out for this merchant to be forced into such a situation.

For a moment, Li Yewu really wanted to use all the tables and chairs in the palace to pay off the debt.

One person was like this, and the other debt collectors also sat down when they saw this. The servants they brought also sat down on the ground when they saw their master sitting down.

The uncles who were collecting debts sat on the ground shamelessly and did not leave, so that the whole staff of Shang Palace was also stunned.

Although he is well aware of the fact that he owes a beating if he fails to pay back the debt, Li Yewu is really powerless, and the palace is the same, completely incapable of repaying the money.

Li Yewu also tried to talk to these people well, giving them a period of time to pay back in the future.

But perhaps this kind of reason has been heard too much, and the wealthy households are determined not to listen, not to believe, not to read, or to ignore, all they want is money.

The creditor refuses to pay and admits to death, she can't do anything about it.

At the end, Li Yewu shrugged regretfully: "Okay, you guys sit down, I'll take a nap first, please forgive me for the poor reception."
