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

Chapter 99

Gu Nianchu went back to bed, originally thinking that she would not fall asleep, but unexpectedly, when it was almost dawn, she actually fell asleep, very soundly.

None of the servants at Haitang Garden came to disturb their master's sleep.

Anyway, she doesn't have to greet anyone, nor does she have to worry about anyone saying that she is unruly. She can just sleep whenever she wants.

Gu Nianchu was awakened by hunger.

She stretched and got up, and the servant outside came in to help her put on her clothes.

"Miss, the Marquis, the old lady, and the prince have all left the house."

Nanny Tian came to report with a smile: "She must have gone to the old lady's parents' home."

Gu Nianchu was a little curious: "Are you going to avoid debt or to borrow money?"

Although the Li family is a merchant family, they have just lent so much silver to the Shen family. Now they want to borrow another 200,000 yuan. I am afraid it will be difficult.

Gu Nianchu felt that Lord Shen and Shen Ling were both fools. The old lady was already in that state, and they took her away with them. Could the Li family still give them money?
It's obvious that I can't take care of it anymore.

Even if the Li family gave more silver to the Marquis' Mansion, the people in their family were already unable to afford it. Wouldn't the silver be given in vain?

Gu Nianchu was kind enough to ask someone to quickly remind Lord Shen and Shen Ling, fearing that they would not be able to borrow the money back.

Today, people all over Kyoto are waiting to see the Shen family make a fool of themselves.

I saw the Shen family's carriage leaving the mansion early in the morning. After asking around, I found out that all three masters of the Shen family had left, leaving only the eldest daughter of the general's mansion and the wife of the prince.

Everyone began to discuss what the Marquis' Mansion was trying to do.

Could it be that they want the eldest daughter of the Gu family to return the betrothal gift?

It is true that the lowest people are invincible.

After Gu Nianping heard about this, he sent someone to inquire.

Gu Nianchu didn't care much: "Since the Marquis, the old lady, and the prince went to the old lady's family to borrow money, please tell the Grand Tutor about this. The Grand Tutor can probably send someone to the Li family to get the money."

After receiving the reply from Gu Nianchu, Gu Nianping immediately asked someone to tell Taifu Wang. Taifu Wang slapped his thigh and directly sent his two sons and a group of servants to the Li family.

When the Li family saw their daughter become like this, Mr. Li and Mrs. Li were in tears and were extremely heartbroken.

The two old men were also very embarrassed about Lord Shen and Shen Ling coming in person to borrow money.

"My Lord, Ling'er, before the Chinese New Year, the Marquis' Mansion just borrowed nearly 200,000 silver coins. How can we have so much silver now?"

Lord Shen's face turned cold when he heard this: "Father-in-law and mother-in-law, are you crying poor to me? That's not what you said at the beginning."

When the Li family, a merchant family, wanted to marry their daughter to the Marquis' Mansion, they assured Shen Tiancheng that if they needed money in the future, they could send it to the door just by saying so. During the years that Li married Marquis Shen, the Li family had to spend tens of thousands of silver on the Marquis' Mansion every year, and the Li family didn't think it was a big deal, but they really couldn't afford it this year.

No one's money comes from the wind.

"My Lord, in just one month, our Li family has spent 180,000 taels of silver. How can we come up with more silver?"

Mr. Li looked embarrassed. When Lord Shen didn't beg for help in a humble manner, he signaled Shen Ling to ask his grandparents for help.

Shen Ling stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a plop: "Grandfather, grandmother, please save Ling'er, it's all Ling'er's fault. The Taifu Mansion sent the betrothal gifts to our house, but unexpectedly, thieves stole the banknotes. Jiaojiao injured me with a knife and pushed my mother down. The Taifu Mansion disliked her character and forced to cancel the engagement. If Ling'er can't return the money to the Taifu Mansion, then the Hou Mansion will not be able to escape this time."

Shen Linggui was the eldest son of a marquisate, and he usually acted in a high-handed manner when he returned to his maternal grandparents' home. He had never kneeled down before the two elderly people. The two elderly people hurriedly asked someone to help him up.

Mr. Li asked the son of the housekeeper to come and think of a solution.

The eldest son of the Li family is now quite old. When he heard that Lord Shen and his family were coming, he did not come to greet them. He just wanted to avoid them.

Everyone knows what the Shen family is here to do.

The servants went to invite him for a long time but no one came. Lord Shen's face became even uglier: "Father-in-law, is my brother-in-law hiding from us?"

Master Li comforted Lord Shen: "Lord, how could that be? The boss didn't know you would come today, so he went out. Wait a moment. The boss will definitely come back when he knows that you and your son are here in person."

The eldest son of the Li family did rush back, but he did not rush back to see the father and son of the Shen family.

The two sons of Master Wang found him and dragged him back.

"Brother-in-law, our mansion is in trouble now. Please lend a helping hand!"

Lord Shen finally condescended to tell the eldest son of the Li family about the loan. The eldest son of the Li family looked unhappy: "Lord, our Li family is just a merchant family. When have you ever repaid the money you borrowed from us in these years? A few days ago, we heard that the money that the wife of the prince's family lent you was repaid. I want to ask you, Lord, when will you return the money you borrowed from our Li family in these years?"

The words of the eldest son of the Li family made Lord Shen feel ashamed. His face turned the color of liver: "Li Fugui, how dare you humiliate me like this!"

The eldest brother of the Li family sneered: "Paying back a debt is a matter of course, but how come the Marquis says that we are humiliating him? If the Marquis is really afraid of being humiliated, why don't you pay back the money?"

"My Lord, your family accepted the betrothal gift from the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. Now Jiaojiao has run away from home. The Imperial Tutor's Mansion has cancelled the engagement. You should quickly return the betrothal gift to the Imperial Tutor's Mansion. This betrothal gift is not spent by our Li family. It is really inappropriate for you to bring the creditor to our Li family."

The two Lords Wang also came over and bowed to Lord Shen: "Lord Shen, today is the day for your mansion to return our betrothal gifts. All the people in charge of your family have come to the Li family. I would like to ask Lord, are you asking us to come to the Li family to get the money or are you deliberately hiding from us and want to cheat our Wang family of the money?"

This made Lord Shen sweat profusely on his forehead: "Master Wang, Master Wang, this is a misunderstanding. It is true that we received the betrothal gift from the mansion that day, and that night a thief appeared in our house and stole all the banknotes. We had no other choice, so we thought of coming to my father-in-law's house to borrow money."

Lord Wang nodded: "Lord Shen means that we can get the money from the Li family."

Lord Wang said it with certainty. What else could Lord Shen say at this moment? He could only bite the bullet and nod: "Yes, we will definitely pay back the money we owe to the Wang family."

When the eldest brother of the Li family heard Lord Shen's solemn words, he immediately became angry: "Lord Shen, our Li family has no money to repay your debts! You should find a way to pay off your debts yourself, but don't blame our Li family!"
