After returning home, the Crown Princess can no longer hide her vest!

Chapter 35 Abandoned Pawn
"We were in a hurry to come back to see the girl, and we didn't have time to ask any more questions. I just heard that many people were defrauded of money by the second manager of Changle Gambling House."

Jiu Jin made tea and served it, and said with a smile, "The second manager tricked people into saving money and gave them two cents of profit every month. A lot of people were actually fooled."

"Actually, everyone who understands understands, how can there be such a good thing in this world? The bank only earns one or two cents of profit a year. Who can give you two cents of profit every month out of thin air? It must be usury money."

"It's just that others didn't tell me and they didn't ask, so they just took the interest with peace of mind." Jiu Jin shook his head.

Ba Liang looked around, with a bit of disgust in his eyes, "Is this where the girl will live when she returns home?"

This governor's office is too arrogant.

Just such a small shabby house for these girls to live in, who are you looking down on?
"Yes, I see that there are more than just girls living in this small courtyard?" Mrs. Huang also frowned.

Yu Linlang patted their hands and said, "It's just a temporary stay. Once we move our household registration from their home, we can return to Jinling in an open and honest manner, and we no longer have to hide."

The three of them looked happy and nodded in unison with a "yes".

"By the way, miss, the rice you asked for should arrive in a few days." Ba Liang looked a little more serious when he thought about business.

Yu Linlang nodded, "What happened along the way?"

"There was nothing major. It was just a long journey, and I encountered three groups of bandits. Fortunately, I met people from the Dafeng Chamber of Commerce on the way. They were very warm and friendly, and I got on their boat, and nothing happened afterwards."

Yu Linlang raised her eyebrows and raised her lips with a hint of a smile, "Yeah."

"Not to mention the lack of harvest in Qizhou, Qingzhou and other places this year, I'm afraid it will be difficult for Weizhou Prefecture to make a living after winter." Aunt Huang sighed, "Since Miss plans to stay here temporarily, it's better to make plans early. .”

A few people were talking when they heard Mrs. Hu calling outside, "Miss Yu, Miss Jiu Jin!"

When Mrs. Huang and Ba Liang heard this nondescript name, their eyebrows furrowed involuntarily.

"Who are you calling Miss Yu?" Sister-in-law Huang opened the door and shouted at the old woman, "All the girls in this house are named Yu. Which one do you call Miss Yu?"

"What? My girl has been left outside by you since she was a child, so she doesn't even deserve to be ranked, right?"

Xiangling and Xiangye followed Granny Hu. Seeing Mrs. Huang's embarrassed look on her face, they hurriedly lowered their heads and did not dare to say anything.

Aunt Hu was startled.

Jiujin walked out and smiled at her, "Mama Hu, this is my lady's exclusive cook, Sister-in-law Huang."

"That is Ba Liang, the girl's personal maid. As I mentioned to you yesterday, my girl has many useful people around her, including the three of you."

"If you really can't do it, just go back to the madam's courtyard. There's no point in coming here for an old lady who can't even figure out her title."

"Oh, oh, oh, oh. I'm sorry, Miss Three, but it's because the old lady is too slow in thinking and doesn't understand etiquette. She deserves a beating." Mrs. Hu is also quite flexible. When she saw something was wrong, she immediately tapped her mouth to admit her mistake.

Yu Linlang went out to look at her and asked expressionlessly, "Another person died?"

Aunt Hu's face twitched, and she hurriedly waved her hands and replied, "No, no. But something did happen in the house. The old lady asked all the girls and the ladies and aunts to go to her courtyard to ask questions."

……

Yuhuayuan, where the old lady lives, is located in the southeast corner of the mansion. It has the best location and is the most spacious. Yu Linlang didn't bring anyone else with her this time, only Nanny Hu led the way.

Passing through the courtyard door from the corridor, I saw the eldest lady Yu Qiuping kneeling at the door of the main courtyard with a pale face.

Lying beside them were two maids, who had been beaten to the point of dying and could not move.

Yu Linlang glanced indifferently, then followed the silent Nanny Hu in. After the announcement, she entered the old lady's main room.

The old lady was wearing a brocade red silk robe today, her hair was covered with a layer of frost, and her expression was a bit colder than what she had seen the day before.

The years have accumulated her temperament, giving her a unique sense of nobility and beauty. Even if there are a few deep grooves on the face, one can still see the appearance of the past.

Aunt Cui, who loves to talk the most, did not dare to make any mistakes today under the pressure of the old lady. She stood obediently beside her sisters and said nothing.

Seeing Yu Linlang walking in, he looked at her with a pair of autumn-like eyes.

Yu Linlang bowed without being humble or overbearing, walked slowly to the side and stood there.

"The lord is here."

Many of the female relatives in the house didn't know what was going on. At this moment, hearing the news of Governor Yu coming, they couldn't help but feel refreshed.

Huo took a sip of tea and looked at Aunt Ma, who was cowering behind. There was a hint of mockery in her eyes, "There must be some people who don't know what happened today. Let me tell you."

Jade Governor walked in angrily with a cold old face. He bowed to the old lady first, then glared at Aunt Ma who was shrinking and shouted angrily, "Mr. Ma, you have spoiled a good daughter!"

Aunt Ma fell to her knees with a "thump", kowtowed and cried, "Master, forgive me, madam, forgive me. It's all my fault. I didn't know how to advise the eldest lady. If you want to punish me, please punish me. I'm sorry." I am willing to shoulder the responsibility."

"Can you afford it?" Jade Governor suddenly stepped forward and kicked Aunt Ma, knocking her to the ground, and she was very upset.

"Do you know what your good daughter has done? She secretly hid it from the family and followed others to make loan sharks!"

"Oh my god!" Aunt Cui put her hand to cover her lips, her eyes wide open with a look of surprise, "How could the eldest lady do such a thing."

Yu Zhihua had a cold face and clenched her little hands into fists, "Eldest sister is really confused. It is illegal to make loan sharks. If eldest sister does this, what will happen to my father? Isn't it going to make him embarrassed in every possible way?"

"Now this matter has been brought to the attention of the Crown Prince and Master Lu! It has completely embarrassed my old face!"

Mrs. Huo sneered again and again, "The foolish thing that the eldest sister committed alone has affected all the female relatives in the family. What will her sisters say about her in the future? I think it is better to cut the knot quickly and simply send her to the aunt's temple to calm down and avoid being implicated. She has many sisters."

Aunt Ma fell to the ground, her face turned pale with fright, and she kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Madam, please forgive me, Master, please have mercy on me. Madam, please have mercy on the eldest lady! The eldest lady is just confused for a moment, she is only seventeen years old." Ah, how could you go to Guzi Temple and suffer the sins of that life?"

The old lady held a bracelet and stared at Aunt Ma with a cold face for a long time. Then she quietly said, "My dear, didn't I say last time that I met a family for my eldest sister? We've almost agreed to marry each other, right?" , we can resolve this crisis as early as possible."

"Sister, I'm not too young anymore at seventeen. If I keep picking and choosing the ones I keep, I'll keep them like an old girl."

Aunt Ma was shaken all over, tears streaming down her cheeks and she kowtowed repeatedly, "Old Madam, Old Madam."
