Chapter 107
Both Wang Ma and Liu Ma said in unison that it was right. They reported to Xu Yan, "Prince Shen once brought people here and wanted to stay here, but I didn't agree because I said this was the Liu family's house."
Xu Yan no longer had any feelings for Shen Ling. She praised both Wang Ma and Liu Ma, and then asked Wang Ma to go to the Liu family and report that she had returned.
Ask Liu Ma to take people to the inn to pick up Shen Ling. Clean him up before bringing him back. Liu Ma is a little unhappy: "Miss, this Master Shen is not good to you at all. He also killed Zhuier. He deserves what he has done now. Why did you bother to bring him here?"
At the beginning, the young lady helped Master Shen to block the knife, but in the end, she was treated like this by Master Shen. When Mother Liu knew about this, she felt very sad for Xu Yan.
Xu Yan sighed: "Mother Liu, I naturally don't have any feelings for him, but if he can become the Marquis of Zhenbei, it will be useful to me."
After hearing what the young lady said, Mother Liu didn't dare to say anything else. She just replied "yes" obediently and went to find someone to pick up Shen Ling.
When Gu Nianchu heard that Xu Yan had taken Shen Ling to her courtyard, she was in a very good mood and ordered people to find something for them to do. Soon, the news spread that Xu Yan had returned with the 200,000 taels of silver that she had taken away.
As soon as Lord Shen heard about it, he brought several concubines and illegitimate sons to the house. In order to make his presence known, he even gave a penny to each beggar on the street to get them to follow him.
Xu Yan asked the servant to report to Lord Shen, telling him that if there was anything, he could just tell them directly, as it was not convenient for her, a woman, to meet guests. Lord Shen got angry when he heard this and kicked the door of the small courtyard.
"Xu Yan, what do you have against me that you need to avoid? You use my mansion's money to live happily here, and you ruined my mansion, and now you are pretending to be me!"
At Lord Shen's command, the dozens of beggars who followed them rushed into the yard. Liu Ma and Wang Ma were terrified when they saw it. Yuzhen and Yurong came out and barely stopped these beggars who were rushing around.
Xu Yan also came out to meet Lord Shen: "Lord, what are you going to do? You let these beggars destroy this yard. Where will you let your son and grandson live?"
"Xu Yan, don't tell me these nonsense. You took the silver and ran away, and that's why our family is in such a state. If you know better, you should quickly take out the silver and settle us down. If you don't, we won't have a good life, and you won't have a good life either."
Lord Shen was going to be aggressive today: "Look how many people I brought here today. If you don't take the silver, they will all stay here and not leave."
Xu Yan looked at the crowd of beggars behind Lord Shen. They were dressed in rags and smelled disgusting. Just standing there was enough to make everyone around them cover their noses.
Xu Yan really didn't expect Lord Shen to force her like this. Xu Yan couldn't help but shed tears: "Since Lord Shen wants to force us to death, why don't we die together? I can't live anymore anyway."
As she said that, Xu Yan ran into the wall.
Lord Shen was not afraid either. He took two steps back and said, "Everyone, watch carefully. I didn't touch her at all. She wanted to die on her own."
"Yes, it was this woman who committed suicide. It has nothing to do with Lord Shen." The beggar behind him helped Lord Shen to testify. Lord Shen was very proud of himself. He did not feel ashamed at all that the dignified Lord Zhenbei had fallen to the point where he had to rely on beggars to bully others.
The people living around Xu Yan's yard were all from small families. At this time, each household was watching the excitement from afar. They knew that this was something related to the Zhenbei Marquis' Mansion. They were a little scared at first, but later when someone told them the whole story, everyone couldn't help but talk about it loudly.
After all, the wealthy family would talk behind others' backs, but the people from the smaller families didn't care about that and told everything that happened in the Marquis' Mansion. The more they talked, the more excited they became. Some of them were so shameless that they even came up to ask Marquis Shen, Shen Feng, Shen Bin and others whether it was true or not.
There were also people criticizing Lord Shen's concubines. Xu Yan felt embarrassed for Lord Shen when she heard them. However, Lord Shen did not feel ashamed but proud of it. He wanted to use this method to force Xu Yan to hand over the money.
Xu Yan didn't want to take out the silver, but seeing Lord Shen's rogue look, she had no choice but to give up and asked Yurong to take out one hundred taels of silver.
"My Lord, I really have no money here. You can use this money to rent a small courtyard and settle down first. My Lord is a salary holder, and it seems that it is time for the salary to come."
Lord Shen watched Xu Yan take out the silver and asked Shen Feng to take it. He did not leave with anyone: "Xu Yan, you have also seen that I have invited so many neighbors to help today. They can't help for nothing. You can use some silver to prepare a few tables of wine and food to thank them."
Xu Yan's eyes were red with anger, and she spat at Lord Shen: "Lord Shen, you are so shameless. Since you invited this person, you should be the one to thank him. Why do you want our young lady to thank him? Is it reasonable that our young lady should thank them for helping you rob her money?"
Lord Shen pointed at Yurong and said to Xu Yan, "Xu Yan, look at these servants around you. They really have no manners. Slap them in the face!"
He actually wanted Xu Yan to deal with Yurong. Xu Yan said to Lord Shen, "Lord, please go back."
Lord Shen didn't say anything, and the beggar behind him started yelling, "Madam, why are you so stingy? Now that the Marquis's Mansion has been emptied by you, you can't just ignore the old Marquis. If you are so unfilial, who will be struck by lightning!"
"Although we are beggars, we cannot stand your behavior. If you don't apologize to Lord Shen today, we will not leave!"
"Yes, this yard is just big enough for us to live in."
"Yes, yes, living here is much better than living in a dilapidated temple."
The beggars started to make a fuss, each of them was a chivalrous man. Normally they had to keep a low profile, but now that they finally had a chance to shine, they had to show off.
Xu Yan looked at the servants around her. How could they be a match for these beggars? She said with a gloomy face, "My Lord, what do you want? Do you really want to force us into a dead end?"
Lord Shen sneered, "Xu Yan, two hundred thousand taels of silver, you said you would give me one hundred taels, you are really treating beggars well."
