Favoring the concubine and ignoring the wife? The mistress is reborn and marries the villain in the

Chapter 25 Paying back the money is not enough

Chapter 25

Shen Ling begged: "Madam, as long as you come back, you will be in charge of the household affairs. Even if Xu is brought back as a co-wife, she is just a concubine! As a husband, I will never favor a concubine over my wife. Please believe me for once."

Gu Nianchu waved his hand, "Your Excellency is too kind. Since the household goods of the Marquisate have been given to the Xu family, let her take good care of them. Now that the Prince has come to take me back to the mansion, I don't know why he mentioned this household goods. The Marquisate has promised to return the silver that was borrowed from my family a few years ago. Is the Prince here to give me the silver today?"

Shen Ling's pretty face flushed red in an instant: "Madam, you clearly know the situation in the Marquis' Mansion, why do you force your husband like this? Husband and wife are one, the husband is honored and the wife is noble, madam, are you forcing your husband to death?"

Gu Nianping spitted, "Master Shen, how dare you say such a thing? So you came to pick up your sister today because you want my Gu family to forgive your debt?"

"Brother, I didn't mean that. It's just that the Marquis' Mansion is in trouble now. I will return the money when the Marquis' Mansion is a little better off."

Shen Ling was humble, but Gu Nianping didn't give him face: "Master Shen, you owe my Great General's Mansion 180,000 silver coins, but you have enough silver to marry a concubine. It seems that you are using the silver from my Great General's Mansion to betroth your concubine."

"I heard that the Marquis' Mansion has offered a betrothal gift to Madam Xu, and the value is at least 300,000 taels of silver. Now you come to my house and complain about being poor. Are you here to disgust us on purpose?"

After that, Gu Nianping directly ordered people to kick Shen Ling out of the General's Mansion.

Madam Gu hugged Gu Nianchu and said, "Chu'er, you have suffered so much."

They didn't realize how shameless this family was at first. They thought the Marquis' Mansion was just a little run-down, but they didn't expect them to be so shameless.

"Mother, Chu'er is not suffering. Chu'er still has family members who love him. Chu'er won't take their bad days to heart."

Gu Nianchu comforted Madam Gu softly, and Gu Nian returned calmly: "Shen Ling said he would definitely return our money. I asked him to send the money within three days, otherwise I would go to Jingzhao Prefecture to sue him."

Gu Nianchu smiled, she won the bet.

In order to keep her, Shen Ling and Xu Yan will definitely make concessions.

Three days later, Shen Ling brought the silver bills, all of which were from Datong Bank, a bank with the best reputation in the country.

After Shen Ling returned the silver, Gu Nianchu packed up and followed him back to the Marquis' Mansion.

On the way back, Shen Ling wanted to ride in the same carriage with Gu Nianchu, but Gu Nianchu kicked him off the carriage.

Shen Ling was so angry that he saw the carriage going away from him.

After returning to Haitang Garden, Gu Nianchu changed her clothes and took people to check her dowry.

When Shen Ling arrived home, Xu Yan's servants came to ask him to stop Gu Nianchu as soon as possible: "My Lord, Madam Gu went to her private vault. My wife asked you to go quickly."

Gu Nianchu's private vault contained her dowry.

Shen Ling's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Gu Nianchu knew that her dowry had been replaced?
Shen Ling walked quickly towards the warehouse and met the angry Gu Nianchu. He stepped forward and tried to hold Gu Nianchu's hand, but Gu Nianchu slapped him: "Shen Ling, you are so shameless!"

"Gu Nianchu, you are so bold!"

Shen Ling shouted at Gu Nianchu and wanted to fight back, but he was just a weak scholar and had just been injured, so there was no way he could be a match for Gu Nianchu.

The hatred that Gu Nianchu had accumulated for two lifetimes erupted at this moment. She did not ask Han Chan and the others for help, but beat up Shen Ling herself. In the end, she was stopped by the people sent by the old Marquis Shen.

Old Madam Shen was so angry that she started to curse. Xu Yan also cried and blamed Gu Nianchu. Gu Nianchu slapped Xu Yan in the face with his backhand: "Xu Yan, I gave you face, and you still dare to blame me!"

Xu Yan covered her face and cried, "Father, Mother, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Gu, what do you want to do?" Old Marquis Shen shouted. Gu Nianchu took the handkerchief handed over by the maid and snorted coldly: "Zhenbei Marquis Mansion is really good. I just went back to my parents' home for a few days, and they actually took away all my dowry. Now they dare to ask me what I want to do?"

Lord Shen glared at Shen Ling: "Ling'er, what's going on?"

Before Shen Ling could reply, Old Madam Shen started yelling, "Gu, what you said is so unreasonable. You are the one who controls the keys to your private vault. Your dowry is gone. Why do you blame our mansion? If something is missing, interrogate the maids and servants in your Haitang Garden. I'm afraid they won't confess!"

"Someone, come and capture all the servants in Haitang Garden and interrogate them thoroughly!"

Gu Nianchu smiled: "Mother is right. We must get to the bottom of this matter. Since mother said that this is none of the Marquis's business, then there is no need for mother to intervene."

Gu Nianchu continued, "I have asked someone to invite the Jingzhao prefect to come over. He will naturally be able to find out who stole my dowry."

Madam Shen's expression changed: "Gu, you actually invited people from the government to come to my mansion! Where do you want to put our mansion?"

"You are embarrassing our mansion just because you lost some dowry. Do you really regard yourself as the daughter-in-law of our mansion?"

"Don't go!"

Gu Nianchu said nonchalantly, "Mother, my dowry is what my parents have been saving for me since I was born. It is worth a fortune, and the friendship and affection in it is priceless. How can we just let it go like this?"

"It's shameful, it's really shameful that a dignified marquis's mansion is secretly selling off their daughter-in-law's dowry."

Lord Shen and Shen Ling both rebuked Gu Nianchu at the same time: "Gu, stop talking nonsense!"

"Old Marquis, Young Master, whether I am talking nonsense or not, we will know the answer after Lord Jingzhao comes to investigate the case."

Gu Nianchu was protected very closely by the seven or eight maids and old women around her, so even if the Shen family father and son wanted to deal with her, they had no way to do so.

"Ling'er, have someone close the door tightly and don't allow anyone to come in or out."

Old Lord Shen ordered Shen Ling: "Gu has gone insane, let her recuperate in Haitang Garden and don't come out."

This is an attempt to put her under house arrest in the yard.

In the previous life, the Shen family relied on her to obtain enormous wealth. After the Gu family was raided, they locked her up in Haitang Garden to recuperate.

"Someone, send Madam back to Begonia Garden."

Shen Ling called people over, many of whom were unfamiliar faces, with bulging temples, and they were obviously masters of internal martial arts.

When these people heard the order, they wanted to capture Gu Nianchu. Han Chan, Zhu Yi and others started fighting with them.

"My Lord, Prince, the prefect of Jingzhao Prefecture has arrived with his servants."

The doorman hurried over to report.

"Why is he here? Just tell him we're not home and ask him to go back."

Shen Ling frowned, and turned to look at Gu Nianchu: "Gu, when did you ask someone to invite the Jingzhao prefect?"
