Ah!" When the embroidery lady heard these words, she was so frightened that she stood up from the ground. With a bang, the medicine jar was knocked to the ground. The boiling hot medicine splashed onto their feet, burning the two people to the point they were crying out in pain.
Those two people were none other than Meng Liang and Qian Xi.
"I... I didn't borrow five hundred liang from anyone! " Embroidered, she could not believe it, she remembered now that her tears were almost coming out.
"Have you two made a mistake!" Xiu Niang said anxiously. Five hundred liang! she thought. None of our families combined have that much money!
"Humph!" "Wrong?" Meng Liang sneered. He took out a piece of paper and placed it in front of the embroidery lady. "Do you recognize this?"
Xiu Niang saw that the paper was the IOU written for her by the kind-hearted young master.
"This IOU is not bad, but I only borrowed fifty liang from that young master! Furthermore, the Young Master has said that he can let me off later! " At this moment, the embroidery lady vaguely guessed something, but she was still unable to figure it out.
"Humph!" "Little girl, you're still so stubborn even now!" Qian Xi pointed to the embroidery lady and said, "Now, this note is written in black and white. You've borrowed five hundred taels of silver from our Young Master Shu, and now you should pay back six hundred taels of silver in return. Do you still want to deny it?"
Xiu Niang's heart skipped a beat and she was immediately stunned. She knew that she had been tricked. How was this a kind-hearted person, this was clearly taking advantage of the situation! He had borrowed fifty taels of silver, but then again, he had borrowed five hundred taels of silver just because he couldn't read.
"Look at you, you can't afford to pay me back!" How about this, we will give you two choices. One, go to the Shu Family and be Young Master Shu's concubine. Second, let's go to the yamen and fight a lawsuit! If you don't want to choose either one, then you have to pay back the money. "
Meng Liang carefully put away the IOU and said to the embroidery lady.
The more she thought about it, the more wronged she became. He sat on the floor and started crying. Seeing this, the two knew that it was useless to speak to the embroidery lady again. They could only run over tomorrow.
It just so happened that old man Wang and the others said their goodbyes to Luo Lingwei and the others, and each of them came back with gold and silver. Not long after Meng Liang and Qian Xi left, old man Wang came to the door. He saw the embroidery lady sitting on the ground and wailing. He hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern, "My daughter, what's wrong? Uncle Wang is here, so don't cry.
After trying to coax her for less than an hour, she finally stopped crying. The two of them sat at home. Xiu Niang poured a bowl of water for old man Wang and told him the whole story while sobbing.
Old man Wang was also very angry when he heard this. He thought to himself that these people were really something. Seeing that the lady was pretty, he wanted to kidnap her mother when she was sick.
"My daughter, don't be anxious. Didn't they want money? Uncle Wang just happens to have some money today. " Old man Wang said as he took out the money Luo Lingwei gave him earlier.
He counted out six hundred taels of silver and handed it to the embroidery lady.
"My daughter, there are exactly six hundred liang of silver here. Prepare to send it to that person tomorrow, and this will be over. In the future, just live a good life with your mother."
Xiu Niang looked at the 600 taels of silver on the table. She was extremely touched.
"Uncle Wang, tell me, how should I thank you?" As she spoke, she was about to cry again.
Old man Wang waved his hand and said, "Don't, we have been in the streets for so many years, and I have watched you grow up. Uncle Wang, I'm already old, so it's useless for me to keep this money. You should take it well and forget about it. In the future, take good care of your mother. "If one day, Uncle Wang, after a hundred years, you come to Uncle Wang's grave and help me burn a few pieces of paper and some pieces of money."
After comforting the embroidery mother, old man Wang went home to rest. The next day, the embroidery lady went to the Shu Lin Estate by herself, bringing along six hundred silver to pay her debts. Just as they reached the door, they coincidentally bumped into Qian Xi and Meng Liang, who were also preparing to go to the Shu residence to look for Shu Lin.
Seeing the embroidery mother frowning, the two of them came to the front door of the Shu Residence with a heavy heart. They thought that she had thought things through, so they came over to greet her with a smile.
"Xiu Niang, you understand? Let me tell you, this young master Shu's family is one of the richest and richest families in the Ming Lin manor. Other than the Prefect's brother Lord Lu and his family, there is no one else who is richer! " The two of them thought that Xiu Niang was going to marry Shu Lin, so they told her how good the Shu Family was.
However, Xiu Niang didn't want to hear their nonsense. She straightforwardly handed over the package containing the silver.
"This is the six hundred taels of silver written on Young Master Shu's IOU. I've gathered some and am here to pay my debt. Please inform the two of you to return the IOU to me."
The two of them were shocked when they heard the words of the embroidery lady. Where did this girl come up with these six hundred taels of silver?
"Fine, just wait. I'll send it in." Meng Liang took the bundle and mumbled.
As he received the bag, he realized that it was quite heavy. He gently opened it and saw that it was indeed covered with snowflakes and silver.
Was this girl rich? Even though he thought this, he didn't stop as he and Qian Xi quickly walked into the main hall.
"Brother Shu Nian, sorry to trouble you." Meng Liang said to Shu Lin as he held the bag of silver.
Shu Lin laughed and invited Meng Liang Qian Xi to take a seat. After the three of them sat down, Meng Liang placed the package on the table beside them and told them about his encounter with the embroidery lady at the entrance.
Shulin felt a little surprised. He thought to himself, This little girl is actually able to gather six hundred silver in one day? But her family was truly poor! After a moment's thought, Schulin decided not to think about it. He ordered the accounting office to bring the six hundred taels of silver into the treasury and began to chat with the two of them.
Meanwhile, the embroidery lady was still waiting at the door. He waited for a long time, but no one came out. She wanted to charge in, but the servant guarding the door was fierce and she could not enter. During this time, she begged the servant to go and report to her several times. Seeing that she was pitiful, the servant also went to tell her a few times. However, Shu Lin did not intend to pay any attention to her.
Just like this, the embroidery lady waited until dusk before seeing Meng Liang and Qian Xi leave the Shu Residence.
Seeing that the two of them had come out, Xiu Niang stepped forward anxiously, "You two, I would like to ask if Young Master Shu has taken out my IOU."
Meng Liang feigned ignorance. "Borrowing an IOU? What IOU? Young Master, we are going home, don't stand in the way. " After saying that, he pushed the embroidery lady away and swaggered away.
Seeing this, Xiu Niang was done! These six hundred liang of silver was wasted! With Meng Liang's push, she fell to the ground. The blood in her body had turned cold!
