Chapter 101

Shen Ling was extremely anxious: "Master Song, hurry up and chase the thieves! They stole two hundred thousand taels of silver from me!"

Shen Ling's words startled Song Tixing: "What? Two hundred thousand taels of silver?"

Song Tixing was a little unconvinced: "Shen Shizi, Lord Wang told me personally that you went to the Li family to borrow money but didn't get any. Now you say that you were robbed of 200,000 taels of silver notes. Are you kidding?"

Shen Ling couldn't say where the silver came from, so he shouted loudly: "Master Song, don't worry about where the silver came from. Just take people to catch the thief and get the silver back for me!"

It was obvious that Song Tixing did not believe what Shen Ling said, but Shen Ling spoke very seriously, so he asked the captain of the police to take people to chase in the direction pointed by Shen Ling.

Shen Ling's injuries were quite serious, so Song Tixing asked someone to invite a doctor to treat Shen Ling. However, when the doctor saw Shen Ling, he immediately said that he was not well-educated and could not treat him, so he turned around and left.

Song Tixing was also helpless and had Shen Ling carried back to the Marquis' Mansion.

When Lord Shen saw Shen Ling coming back covered in wounds after being beaten again, he couldn't help but burst into tears. His tears were really an eye-opener.

"Ling'er, who did you offend? Why won't I let you go? My son, why is your life so miserable?"

Shen Ling interrupted his crying: "Father, I borrowed 200,000 taels of silver, but on the way to the Taifu Mansion, it was snatched away by a group of men in black! You should take people to chase them!"

When Lord Shen heard that Shen Ling had borrowed 200,000 taels of silver but it was robbed, he tilted his head back and fainted.

Shen Ling had someone pinch Lord Shen's philtrum, and Lord Shen woke up slowly: "Ling'er, does that mean we have another 200,000 taels of foreign debt now?"

Shen Ling's voice was trembling: "Dad, we now owe a total of 400,000 taels of silver!"

If they cannot get the silver back, their mansion will be finished.

Lord Shen was about to faint again, and Shen Ling grabbed his arm: "Dad, you can't faint, if you faint it's all over!"

Seeing Shen Ling like this, Song Tixing also believed that he really borrowed 200,000 taels of silver and was robbed.

Song Tixing felt very sympathetic towards the Marquis' Mansion, which had been in really bad luck recently.

"Sir, I will take people to catch the thief right away."

Song Tixing took his men away and reported the incident to Mr. Huang of Jingzhao Prefecture. Two hundred thousand taels of silver were robbed in the street. This was a major case and must be taken seriously.

Huang Rongli looked at Song Tixing with a half-smile: "Sir Song, do you believe what Master Shen said? His maternal grandfather's family is unwilling to lend him money, so who else can come up with 200,000 taels of silver to lend him?"

Song Tixing was stunned: "Master Huang, do you mean that Master Shen is acting?"

Huang Rongli shook his head: "I don't know if he is acting or not, I just don't want to be made a fool of."

The captain of police who was sent by Song Tixing to chase the thief just now came back, but they didn't even see a shadow of the thief.

Song Tixing was very angry: "Prince Shen is really..."

"But I don't think he's acting at all. He really looks like he lost his parents. Lord Shen fainted twice. If this is acting, it's too unbelievable."

Huang Rongli still trusted Song Tixing's observation ability. He reached out and patted Song Tixing on the shoulder: "Maybe they really were robbed of 200,000 taels of silver, but where did the silver come from? Think about it."

Song Tixing nodded: "I think the Wang family's betrothal gift was not lost. They just don't want to return it. They are so shameless." Now that the betrothal gift is lost, it is really retribution.

You said it was stolen, so you deserve it to be robbed now.

Huang Rongli and Song Tixing handled official business leisurely in the yamen, and then when the time was almost up, Song Tixing took a large group of people to the street to make a show of spreading the news that the prince of the marquis's mansion was robbed of 200,000 taels of silver on the street.

Of course, Wang Taifu also heard about this matter, so he took his son to file a complaint with the emperor again.

The emperor was stunned by the outrageous actions of the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion, and sent Prince of Qi Zhou Jinyu to raid the mansion, and all the proceeds were compensated to the Grand Tutor.

His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, dressed in armor, surrounded the Marquis's mansion with his guards.

Gu Nianchu's belongings had already been moved back to the Gu family by the servants. She was still staying in Haitang Garden simply because she wanted to watch the fun.

Marquis Shen and Shen Ling begged again and again, but His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi would not pay any attention to them. He simply ordered them to be driven out of the mansion and then began to count the property of the mansion.

The people outside were still pointing and talking, and the father and son were so embarrassed that they didn't even dare to raise their heads. Seeing Gu Nianchu being surrounded by servants, Lord Shen wanted Gu Nianchu to take out some silver and money to settle them down first.

Gu Nianchu pretended not to hear and bowed to the King of Qi: "Your Highness, I will take my leave first."

When everyone saw Gu Nianchu and her servants getting on the carriage sent by General Gu's Mansion to pick her up, they couldn't help but feel sympathy for Miss Gu's miserable life and how she ended up in this hellhole of a mansion.

"In the morning, the eldest daughter of the Gu family had her dowry sent away."

Someone whispered, and the King of Qi said coldly: "A woman's dowry does not belong to her husband's family. Don't you know that? Don't you have any daughters in your family?"

The person who spoke was immediately frightened and quickly knelt down to apologize: "Your Highness, Prince Qi, please forgive me. I was just talking nonsense."

Others followed suit, saying that it was only natural for Miss Gu to move her dowry.

Someone started a bet, betting on how long it would take Miss Gu to divorce Master Shen.

"He's still a prince, but now he's been kicked out of the house and is almost like a beggar."

Some people started to mock, and there was also someone who had some personal relationship with His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi, who boldly asked His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi whether the Emperor had issued an edict to abolish the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

The King of Qi said coldly: "No."

The Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion is the opposite-sex brother of the late emperor. The late emperor once issued an edict that unless the Marquis of Zhenbei Mansion committed the crime of treason, the mansion could not be abolished.

Otherwise, based on the recent actions of the Shen father and son, the emperor would have deposed them long ago.

The King of Qi did not say why, but Lord Wang knew it very well. Once he explained the reason, everyone who was watching the fun remembered that the father and son of the Shen family were really useless. Relying on the title left by their ancestors, they could actually live like beggars.

The King of Qi had the plaque of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion taken down and handed over to the Shen family father and son: "Lord Shen, Prince Shen, wherever your new mansion is, this plaque of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion must be hung up. Don't embarrass the old Zhenbei Marquis."

All the servants in the mansion were detained in the mansion, and the King of Qi wanted to sell them off to raise money for the Taifu Mansion.

Gu Nianchu was watching this scene in the carriage, and the scene of the Gu family being confiscated in the previous life appeared in front of him. It was not enough, this was not enough.
