Old Master Zhi indeed had some hope when his son went to look for Zi Qian. After all, who did Yu Dong think she was fooling? She was Ye Zexian's sister-in-law, surely she would not sign such a strict contract with Zi Mu and Ye Zexian.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
She was most probably trying to fool them by saying that Zi Mu was in debt by signing the contract with her.
However just as Zi De returned with a panicked look on his face, Old Master Zi suddenly felt his heart jump a beat. However, he did not know what happened or what Zi Qian said to Zi De given that his son hardly looked like he was in trouble.
Zi Mu had always cared for his brothers thus, the two brothers of the Zi family did not even know what trouble was, this was their first time facing trouble and that too because of their reliable younger brother!
"What happened?" Old Master Zi asked when Zi De came to a stop in front of him. "Why are you looking like we are in big trouble?"
"Because we are in trouble!" Zi De felt his headache. He rubbed his forehead and then said with an annoyed voice, "Yu Dong really knows the magistrate! She also knows the Marquis, forget about making a faux contract, she is so rich that she owns a mall in the town! Do you think that she would come here to have fun with us?"
Yu Dong was a businesswoman and she was about to launch a new product in her mall but because of his brother, the launch of her product had been delayed, with how big of a loss Zi Mu caused Yu Dong, she would not drop the matter so easily. This was what Zi Qian had told him and Zi De relayed everything to Old Master Zi and his mother.
As soon as the two of them heard Zi De's words, their expression panicked and their complexion turned pale. No wonder Yu Dong was in such a bad mood. It was because this foolish son of theirs caused her to lose more than a thousand taels!
Village Head Zi thanked Village Head Gu in her head. If that woman had not spoken up for her in front of Yu Dong, then her village and her reputation would have been ruined!
"I understand what you are trying to say," Zi Qian did not know how to deal with this mess, she sighed and then said lightly, "But Zi Mu and his husband have an injured child. Please give them some time——"
"I am giving them time, which is why they are not in Yamen," Yu Dong interrupted Zi Qian with a smile. "They have ignored the contract by indulging their emotional life with their professional one. However, I am not sending them to the Yamen because I know that they had trouble, I am not even asking them to pay the compensation, I only asking them to pay the money that I have given them."
Old Master Zi shuddered as soon as he heard Yu Dong's words. Money? She wanted him to give her money? There was no way he was going to give her the money! That was a hundred taels! He would rather jump down the cliff than take out the money.
"Miss Yu, you are so rich. Do you really need those hundred taels?" Old Master Zi offered a sweet smile to Yu Dong who arched a brow and then said, "What do you mean by that? Just because I am rich, I should throw away a hundred taels? Is this what you mean to tell me? I am sorry but I do not have the money to throw away. I earn money with my own hard work.
So you either give me the money or you come to the Yamen with me."
"Why should I give the money?" Old Master Zi questioned angrily. He could no longer control himself as he said, "I did not use that money!"
"But you are their family right?" Yu Dong shot back causing Old Master Zi to be stupefied. He looked at Yu Dong who was not eating either hard or soft tactic with a glare. However, when he saw that Yu Dong was not moved, he then said, " Then we will separate."
