"Oh right, Sister Xiuhua, this is a silver note for you. Take good care of it." Cheng Weiwu took out a handful of silver notes and stuffed it into Cheng Xiuhua's hands.

Cheng Guanyue also felt that all the money she did not need for the time being was in Cheng Xiuhua's hands.

Instantly, Cheng Xiuhua blinked several times in shock, "Where did you guys get all this silver from? This total might even be over ten thousand taels."

"Sister Xiuhua, you don't have to worry about where you got this money. You just have to keep this money properly. When you start a business in the future, you can provide porridge to the refugees and the poor." If Cheng Weiwu told them where he got all this silver from, he would definitely suspect that they had done the same thing back in the county.

At that time, if Cheng Xiuhua found out that Cheng Guan Yue gave money to those brothels ladies, she would talk about her big brother everyday.

"What Little Wu said is right. You just need to be at ease and keep these silver notes. In the future, do more good things." What was the reason why Cheng Guan Yue did not want Cheng Weiwu to tell his the truth?

So she pretended as if she didn't know anything, and quickly left Cheng Xiuhua's line of sight with Cheng Weiwu.

Cheng Xiuhua, on the other hand, looked at their figures, and slowly sank into deep thought.

Were these two fellows hiding something from her? Why were they unwilling to tell her the truth?

However, she didn't hesitate for more than a minute before she happily hid the banknotes.

When Second Madam Shen Lanxin heard that her brother had paid back the eighty thousand gold he owed Shen Zhongcai, she was so shocked that her eyes went wide open.

Could it be that her brother had been lying to her all along? Or could it be that it was Cheng Guanyue and Cheng Weiwu who forced her brother to repay his debt?

Shen Lanxin couldn't wrap her head around it, so she specially went to her parents' home to ask Shen Zhongcai about the matter.

Who would have thought that after she returned from her mother's home, she would directly rush towards Cheng Guanyue, Cheng Weiwu, and the others in anger. With a stern voice, she asked, "On what basis did you beat my big brother to such a state? No matter what, he is still your elder, so there is no need to do this for the sake of eighty thousand gold! "

Shen Lanxin could not hold back her anger, especially when she thought about her own home, where her sister-in-law would roll her eyes at her, and how her brother was still lying on the bed with injuries all over his body. When she looked at him, he cried until tears fell, feeling really pitiful.

Second Madam, this is your mistake. You were the one who privately lent the money to your brother, so why can't we just go ask for the debt? Furthermore, your brother's business is not doing well. Cheng Xiuhua was not afraid of falling out with the Second Madam. It was mainly because the Second Madam herself was a person who did not know what was going on.

Furthermore, this Second Madam had even warmed up the poison before, it was fortunate that Aunt Zhang was by her side.

Therefore, there was nothing she couldn't say.

"Even if my brother's business is better, I should be the one to take the debt. Why would I have to trouble you all to find him, make a move on him, and even threaten him?" Although Shen Lanxin was a little resentful in her heart, she didn't understand why her brother would keep it from her and trick her into doing a bad business.

However, when she thought of her brother's miserable appearance, this bit of resentment disappeared.

No matter what, that was still his own blood brother, he couldn't just watch him get beaten up and not say a word!

"Yo, don't you know what your brother is like, Second Madam? He's a real scoundrel, a man who doesn't even fight to the death and doesn't even pay back his money. Furthermore, if others were to find out about this, Second Madam, how could you put on airs and say that your brother didn't even pay you back after so many years? Cheng Xiuhua said a lot of things with a crackling sound. Her every sentence was extremely sharp, making Shen Lanxin's face turn red, and she was especially furious.

"Then the eighty thousand silver will arrive, but you beat up my brother to such a state, how are you going to settle this debt?" Shen Lanxin couldn't say anything, but she could only bite the fact that they had injured her brother, insisting.

"How? Hmph, Second Madam, don't you know the seriousness of it when you lend your brother the money from the house of the Marquis? " Cheng Xiuhua also didn't know if Shen Lanxin was really stupid or just faked it, or she simply didn't care about the direct consequences of this matter.

"What's wrong with me taking the money from the duke's manor? "It's not like I won't return it." Shen Lanxin was also someone who cared about face. After being slapped so many times by Cheng Xiuhua, she was immediately filled with anger: "Anyways, why don't you give me a reply today.

"Second Madam, why should we give you an answer? Why should we give you justice? Isn't this your fault? "If you want to make up for your brother's lack of money, you can use your own private money. If you pursue the matter further, Second Madam, you will have to bear a lot of responsibility, so we can't give you the answer and we don't want to give you the justice. If you want to make up for your brother's lack of money, you can only blame yourself for not finding out whether your brother was truly broke or just faked it." Cheng Xiuhua didn't want to give face to Second Madam anymore, so she directly exposed her identity, so as to prevent her from using this matter as their topic.

"Alright, I'm in the wrong on this matter. It was I who lent the money from the house of the Marquis to my brother, but shouldn't you beat him up?" Shen Lanxin could only admit her mistakes when she heard Cheng Xiuhua's words, but she still continued to fight to the death.

"Why is the beating wrong? Second Madam, you should be glad that your brother hasn't been beaten to death by us. For someone like him, who likes to renege debts and doesn't want to pay his debt, beating him up is already considered light. Moreover, Second Madam, after so many years of giving him so much money, you don't have the slightest bit of anger or complaint in your heart at all. " Cheng Xiuhua didn't understand why Shen Lanxin was so good to her brother. Obviously, her brother didn't take her seriously at all.

"You … "You're being unreasonable, I …" Shen Lanxin was stumped by what Cheng Xiuhua had said, and could only spit out one sentence with great difficulty.

"Second Madam, it's not that we're unreasonable, it's just that you didn't think about the impressiveness of this matter from the beginning. If you think that we can't get back this eighty thousand taels of silver, then when the treasury is cleared, you will definitely take advantage of our house. Although it doesn't seem like a big number, it represents the face of the house, and everyone else might say, why is it that our house isn't even worth eighty thousand taels of silver and still owes us a debt. Also, you borrowed 80,000 taels of silver. The first one to suffer the worst is you, and in the worst case, you might even be sent to prison to eat. It would cost you a lot of money in order to get you out. Furthermore, I heard that this year, it was Duke Ning who had cleared the treasury. Duke Ning, you should know that he is a strict person who only talks reason, a person who does not talk about marriage. "
