Mrs. Shen never thought that these people really came to ask for debts!
Thinking of their century-old scholarly family, the Shen family, although they can't be said to be very rich, they still have a lot of property! What's more, the family members are all strict, how could they not repay the debt
My heart trembled, thinking that these people came from Jiangnan, Mrs. Shen suddenly had a bad feeling, "Who in our family owes you debt?" It is absolutely impossible for the boss, the second brother just Coming back from Jiangnan, could it be...
Thinking of this possibility, Mrs. Shen suddenly felt cold all over.
She thought that the second child is now mature, sensible, and willing to improve, but what
"Mrs. Shen, your second master Shen is really going too far. We are all businessmen. We borrowed money from him for the sake of the Shen family, but he left the house and fields. If it is sold, what shall we do?"
"That's right, Mrs. Shen, it's not easy for us to do business. Master Shen's behavior is really too much. We didn't want to come to ask for debts, but we heard that Master Shen is back, so we have no choice but to come here. It's been a trip."
"It's not easy to come from Jiangnan. Back then we borrowed the money for the sake of the Shen family's sake. Mrs. Shen, you have to admit it!"
"Yes, yes, the second master Shen is empty, even the house is sold, we don't come here to ask for the account, what should we do with this account?"
"Old Mrs. Shen, look at your bodhisattva heart, you can pay us back the money for the sake of our long distance! We also have to support our family!"
"Yes, yes, it's only natural to pay off debts. It's really too much for Master Shen to leave like this!"
…
The journey was not easy, Jiangnan was so far away from the capital, and their journey was really hard. If it wasn't for the money, what would they do
Old Mrs. Shen saw these people talking in a hurry, she felt her head hurt and her eyes were blurred, so she hurriedly asked the maid beside her to bring her a cup of tea, so as not to faint from the anger.
"Mother, are you okay!"
"I'm fine!" Now she's just trying to hold on, Mrs. Shen feels that the pain in her temples is almost unbearable, and her whole body is a little dizzy, but at this moment, she has to hold on, " Ladies and gentlemen, don't be impatient, if the money is really borrowed by that scoundrel, I will definitely let him return it in full!"
"Really? That's really great, Mrs. Shen, it's not easy for us to come here. There are still many things at home. I wonder if we can pay back the money quickly so that we can go back?"
"Yeah, this back and forth has delayed a lot of effort, and we can't afford to delay any longer!"
"That's it!"
Listening to what these people said, Mrs. Shen held back her anger and had to keep smiling, "Don't worry, it's the responsibility of our Shen family. We will definitely not shirk it. When the time comes, we will deal with everyone's losses as usual." Repayment. It's just that my second son is not at the house now, and the matter of repaying the money has to wait for him to come back!" This second child really disappointed her! Originally thought that he would change and get better, but looking at it now, it became more and more excessive!
"Mrs. Shen, your Shen family is a scholarly family, you won't renege on your debts, will you?"
"That's right, the Second Master Shen suddenly disappeared. We couldn't even get the money we asked for. Mrs. Shen is so evasive. Could it be that she doesn't want to pay back the money?"
"That's right, we have an IOU in our hands, even if we go to the government, you can't justify it, Mrs. Shen!"
"Yes, Mrs. Shen, this Second Master Shen is the oiran who abducted our Lichun Courtyard. I still have the deed of sale, and I have to pay back the money!" Suddenly a woman screamed loudly. The woman had been silent just now, but when she said this suddenly, Mrs. Shen was stunned, "Li Chunyuan, what do you mean?"
"Mrs. Shen, the second master Shen came to our Lichun Courtyard a few days ago and took a fancy to our oiran, so he took the oiran away without saying a word. I spent a lot of money to buy this oiran , and it has been cultivated for so long, it is all money, Master Shen is so unkind!"
"God, Second Master Shen actually did such a thing?"
"The Shen family is a scholarly family, how could they do such a thing?"
"It's absolutely true, the deed of prostitution is all on me! Our oiran Meier is as beautiful as a flower, and she is proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Master Shen Er has always liked our oiran, but he never thought that he You actually abducted our oiran, my money!"
"This, this, Second Master Shen's behavior is really too much!"
"Mrs. Shen, you must pay back the money, or you can pay me back, but the loss in the middle, Mrs. Shen can't just let it go!" How could she let her go when she was kidnapped
"Mrs. Shen, although the Shen family has a great family and business, they can't bully people like this! We came all the way here. If you don't give us an explanation, Mrs. Shen, we won't leave!"
"Yes, I won't leave!"
"Don't go, we're staying!"
"That's right. At worst, we'll have a quarrel and go to the yamen to ask for a reason. I don't believe it anymore. Can your Shen family cover the sky with one hand?"
"Yes, go to the yamen, go to the yamen! At the feet of the emperor, your Shen family is not the only one!"
…
This was okay at first, but I don’t know who is starting the fire, these people immediately broke out, Mrs. Shen was trembling when she heard it, and Shen Wenhua who was on the side saw it and hurried out, "Everyone, don’t worry, I owe it to you!" We will definitely pay back the money, but my second brother is not at home right now, everyone, take it easy, take a break first, and eat something? You have worked hard on the journey, so let us entertain you as an apology Okay? We will definitely pay back everyone's losses." After all, Shen Wenhua has been in Jiangnan, and he has been doing things for the people in Jiangnan for many years, and the people respect him very much. This time, if it weren't for someone to support them, they wouldn't dare to just come to the door like that. Now that Shen Wenhua has said that, these people looked at each other a few times, and finally agreed, "Master Shen is a good official, and we naturally have to give him face, but it's not easy for us to come here. There are still a lot of things that have been delayed on the way, Mr. Shen, this..."
"Don't worry, I will help you deal with it as soon as possible, and I will ask my second brother to make up for your delay along the way."
"Okay, since Mr. Shen said that, then we'll wait for Second Master Shen to come back." I don't want to embarrass Shen Wenhua, but Shen Wenli is the one who owes the debt, so everyone can tell the difference clearly!
"Okay, sure, everyone, rest in peace, we will deal with it right away."
"Then there will be Lord Lao Shen."
"Okay, let's send these guests down to rest, so that we can entertain them."
"Yes, my lord!" Shen Wenhua personally sent them away. As soon as this person left, Mrs. Shen dropped the teacup in her hand in anger, "Come on, go and find that scoundrel for me, and let Guo Yuanshuang Come here, and the one named Meier, come to see me!" Before she saw that there was something wrong with Meier, when she asked, Shen Wenli was always vague, she thought that the second son would not be so confused, But I didn't expect it...
How could this prostitute enter the door of their Shen family? This second child is becoming more and more outrageous now, Shu'er's marriage is coming soon, if something happens at this time, what should I do
"Yes, old lady!"
…
Guo Yuanshuang felt that marriage was uncomfortable at the moment, but she was still worried about the matter in the front yard. She sent someone to inquire and waited anxiously, but there was no news. After finally waiting for the news, she learned that they owed debts in Jiangnan When the people came, Guo Yuanshuang suddenly felt dizzy, "Here, all these people are here?" God, I thought that when they returned to the capital, these people would not dare to come to ask for debts, but why...
God, what can I do
Startled, Guo Yuanshuang was very frightened at the moment. Thinking of their affairs in Jiangnan being discovered, Guo Yuanshuang panicked for no reason, "Then mother, have they paid back the money?"
"No, second madam, the old madam said to wait for the second master to return!"
"Where do we still have money? The master has taken all this money away!" Although she secretly hid ten thousand taels of silver, she was afraid that Shen Wenli would do something wrong, and she would not be able to bear it, but that was not the case. Not enough!
In the past six months, Shen Wenli was too absurd, and she was also angry, so she spent money lavishly, and the two of them owed a lot of money. When I came here, I just thought about going back to Jiangnan anyway, they sold everything, came back secretly, and didn't say where they went, those people have nowhere to ask for money, so they definitely didn't dare to come to Shen's residence, but ,But…
How did that happen? How dare these Jiangnan people come to Kyoto? Pay off the debt? How did they know the whereabouts of their family
What exactly is going on
Guo Yuanshuang was also panicking at the moment, thinking that Shen Wenli had just taken 20,000 taels, and he only had 10,000 taels of life-saving money left, but he would never take it out!
"Second lady, what should I do now? Those people have come to the door, the old lady is very angry, and the old man's complexion is not very good, right now the old lady is losing her temper!"
"What to do? What to do? How do I know what to do? Anyway, the money is not owed by me, but by the master, let the master go and pay for it!" Gritting his teeth, Guo Yuanshuang was also impatient and speechless. In the past six months, she has had enough. If this man treats her like this, what kind of husband and wife relationship does she want to pay attention to
"Second Madam, this..." The two of them hadn't finished speaking when they saw the nurse next to Mrs. Shen approaching with a cold face, "Second Madam, Old Madam let you and that Meier go there!"
"What, what?" Meier, why did the old lady want to see Meier, "What did the old lady tell us to go there?" Although he knew it in his heart, Guo Yuanshuang was still afraid that the old lady was going to see her at this time.
"You will know when you go, hurry up, the old lady is waiting!"
"Yes, yes, wait!" His chest hurts, his whole body hurts, but Guo Yuanshuang dare not say it, and now he can't evade it, so he can only follow, and someone calls Meier, Guo Yuanshuang looks Seeing Meier's ignorant look, he gritted his teeth immediately, "When the old lady asks you later, don't say anything, just leave it to me!" Guo Yuanshuang would never let Meier's identity Mrs. Shen knew about it.
She had told the master a long time ago that Mei'er didn't look like a good girl, but the master refused to listen and kept her with her all the time. She tried many ways but couldn't get this girl away. Now that mother wants to see them, what is the matter
"Ma'am, don't worry, servants won't talk nonsense." Mei'er smiled, Mei'er seemed to be ignorant, but Guo Yuanshuang couldn't see the interest in her eyes.
"Okay, you have to be careful, show me a good performance in a while, and don't let my mother see anything." This Mei'er is not a good girl at first sight. When her mother asked her before, she didn't dare to say it. Mother is angry, now, what can I do now
The more anxious Guo Yuanshuang felt, the more pain he felt all over his body. He was thinking of saying something along the way, but Meier beside him was very calm, following along neither humble nor overbearing, but the smile on his face was very bright. The other person's face is better!
It's this time, and she is still in the mood to laugh, so mad at her!
Glaring at Mei'er, it was a warning. Guo Yuanshuang was very worried at the moment, and when he got in front of Mrs. Shen, he hurriedly put on a look of ignorance, "Mother, you asked us to come, what's the matter?" "Calm down, calm down, stabilize your mother first, let's talk about the rest at that time!
"Let me ask you, you have been in Jiangnan for half a year, but you owe money?" Shen Wenli couldn't find it for a while, so Mrs. Shen could only ask Guo Yuanshuang about the situation.
"Mother, what are you talking about? How could we owe money?" Guo Yuanshuang looked ignorant, and had already made up his mind to put the matter on Shen Wenli. Anyway, the money was borrowed by Shen Wenli, no wonder it was her!
Now she just needs to keep her position! For the rest, she doesn't have this thought anymore!
She didn't want to live through the dire and torrid days in the south of the Yangtze River, so this time she wanted to stay, stay in Shen's house, even if she didn't have a husband for the rest of her life, she didn't care anymore!
"Are you really ignorant or fake? How did you become a lady? People who want debts are coming to your door, why are you still pretending to be confused?" Just throwing a cup over, Guo Yuanshuang She didn't dare to hide, the cup hit her head just like that, Guo Yuanshuang felt a sticky feeling at the moment, knowing that her head was hurt, but she still had to endure the pain and continued to pretend, "Mother, I really I don’t know, you know, I have never been in control of the master’s affairs. In the past six months, the master has not left early and returned late, and I, I can’t control it either!”
"You, where did your shrewdness go? Did you just let him mess around like this?" Looking at my daughter-in-law was okay before, although she was a bit too selfish, but she still planned for the second wife, why didn't you see her for half a year? , became like this
"Mother, master has changed a lot in the past six months. He always beats and scolds me. I, I really can't control it!" I think my son is good. Although Mrs. Shen was completely disappointed with Shen Wenli at the moment, seeing her second daughter-in-law like this, she felt in her heart that this second daughter-in-law was incompetent and made her son behave like this, and she inevitably felt more disgusted with Guo Yuanshuang, "Okay Well, our Shen family really doesn’t know what to do when we marry you. There are so many people in your second wife these years, but you don’t have many heirs. I used to turn a blind eye when I saw that you were sensible. Forget it, but now it seems that you are also a fool!"
This daughter-in-law blindly only knows about the other party's wife, and her husband can't even control her, so what is she talking about now!
"Mother..." Looking at Mrs. Shen, Guo Yuanshuang was full of disbelief. He didn't know where Mrs. Shen's blame came from.
Who is this Shen Wenli, she knows best, but she is just a weak woman, how can she stand against a man
"Okay, a wife doesn't mind her husband's misfortune. It seems very reasonable. It's really a misfortune for the family!" After glaring at Guo Yuanshuang, Mrs. Shen then looked at Mei'er, "Okay, Leaving aside the matter of debts, who is this woman?"
"Mother, this, this is the concubine brought back by the master..." Looking at the eyes of Mrs. Shen, Guo Yuanshuang was also a little scared. She had always doubted Guo Yuanshuang's identity and thought that Guo Yuanshuang came from Fengyuechang. But Shen Wenli has always denied it, and she is not sure about it, it's just...
"The second child brought it back. Don't you need to check who the second child brought back? What is her identity, what did she do before, and who is in the family? You don't know?"
"Mother, this, I don't blame my daughter-in-law. The master loves her very much. If the daughter-in-law asks anything, the master will not say anything. Instead, he will blame the daughter-in-law for being jealous. Daughter-in-law, there is nothing the daughter-in-law can do!"
"Jealous, you have always been jealous before, why are you pretending to be generous now?" If it weren't for this daughter-in-law who was jealous, how could the second room only have two children from the first wife? With so many concubines in the second room, is it true that none of them have any children
Back then, those offspring were either accidentally aborted, or they were not born to grow up. She is not stupid, she really doesn't know anything!
"Mother, you have really wronged my daughter-in-law. This kind of jealousy is one of the seven things. How dare my daughter-in-law?" Guo Yuanshuang felt as if his body was burning with burning pain all over his body. She still has to face Mrs. Shen's scolding, she really can't take it anymore!
"You don't dare? I think you are so daring! You dare to say that it's not your credit that the second child has had no concubine sons and daughters these years?" In the past, it was because Guo Yuanshuang was tactful and filial to her. Open one eye, close one eye and forget it. But now is the time to settle the accounts, Mrs. Shen will not let it go so easily!
"Mother..." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen had an attack at this time. Guo Yuanshuang had a bad premonition in his heart and was very flustered. He wanted to say something, but he was afraid that the more he said, the more wrong he would be. At this moment, Guo Yuanshuang could only wait and see what happened.
God, what happened to mother today? Why did it suddenly become a general ledger
"I'll ask you again, who is this woman, where did she come from, what does the family do, who is there, do you know?" Taking a deep breath, Mrs. Shen felt that she was about to faint. It's just that she doesn't know how to solve these things
"Mother, my daughter-in-law really doesn't know..." Can she say it? Dare you say it? Those were all her guesses. If she said that the master was back, wouldn't she be beaten to death? And the mother knew, how could she forgive them
Mother cares about face the most. If the master really brings people from that place to be concubines, mother will definitely not let them go!
So, can't say it!
Guo Yuanshuang was still holding on to hope. Anyway, they were in the capital, and no one would know Meier. She also hoped that the people brought back by Shen Wenli were not from that kind of place. Otherwise, with Mrs. Shen's current anger, they might really be killed Swept out of the house.
Guo Yuanshuang thought well, but sometimes, things are unexpected...
Mrs. Shen didn't expect that Guo Yuanshuang was still pretending to be confused here, trying to get rid of the relationship, and now she was completely disappointed with Guo Yuanshuang. Looking at Mei'er, Mrs. Shen took a deep breath, "You say, Who are you? What do you do?" This woman could tell at a glance that she was not a good woman, and she had asked before, but every time Shen Wenli would gossip about other things, she thought her son would not be so confused, but now that she thought about it, , she was wrong...
"Old madam..." Seeing old madam Shen's eyes, Mei'er was a little hesitant at the moment. Guo Yuanshuang at the side gave her a warning look, telling her to pay attention, but old madam Shen looked at her, "You just have to answer me truthfully. , I can promise you, I will not hurt you!"
"This..." Somewhat hesitant, Meier knew her identity, and also knew that it was impossible for her to enter the Shen family's door with such an identity. That person had promised her that as long as she found a way to enter the Shen's house, she would If you admit your identity, you can be free, so now...
After making up her mind, Mei'er knew that this was her only chance, so she knelt down directly, "Madam, this servant is from the Lichun Courtyard, and I was valued by the second master Shen before, so I took this servant away, this servant, I am very grateful! "
"What you said, is it true?" There was still a sliver of hope, hoping that her son would not be so hopeless, but Meier's words now have completely overturned the little hope left by Mrs. Shen. .
"I don't dare to speak half a lie. The second master Shen is very kind to the slave, but the slave knows that his status is low and not worthy of the second master, so..."
"Okay, don't say anything more!" Not wanting to listen any more, Mrs. Shen just felt that everything these days was like a dream. Since when did the son she loved so much since childhood, the son she had always had great hopes for, become unknown to her
Owing debts, evading debts, and even bringing in these unclean women, the reputation of the Shen family has been ruined by him!
What is she doing? Thinking that the scoundrel has learned well, I planned to give him a chance, but I didn't want to make things worse!
If I had known, if I had known, she shouldn't have let them come back, let them fend for themselves in Jiangnan!
"Mother, don't be angry. I don't know about this, I really don't know, and I don't know why the master would do this?" Unexpectedly, it was really what she guessed, and Guo Yuanshuang also regretted the journey on the way. At that time, I didn't try my best to get Meier away, but now it's like this, what, what can I do...
"Mrs. Shen, don't be angry. The second master is doing this because he loves his servants. It's the slaves who don't have this blessing. I hope that Mrs. Shen will not blame the second master. The slaves can leave immediately..."
"Stop talking, why hasn't this scoundrel come back yet?" The people sent to find Shen Wenli had been gone for a long time, and Mrs. Shen just found Shen Wenli at this moment, and beat him up hard, making him completely Remember the lesson!
"Old lady, the second master is not in the shop, he has gone to look for it elsewhere!"
"What?" Isn't he busy with the shop these days? Why is it not in the shop
Hehe, shouldn't she have thought about it a long time ago, how could this scoundrel have done so many wrong things in the shop safely
"Well, I don't know about this. The servants went to the store and couldn't find anyone. They have already gone to other places to look for them. I am afraid that the old lady will be worried, so I came back to report!"
"Find it for me, if you find it, press it back!"
"Yes Yes!"
…
Guo Yuanshuang and Meier saw that Mrs. Shen was so angry, they were also anxious, and they didn't dare to say anything, they just waited for Shen Wenli to come back. But the people who went there searched for a long time, but they couldn't find it. In the end, they went to the casino to find the person, but the situation was not good, so they hurried back to report, "Old lady, it's not good, old lady!"
"What's the panic? Have you found that villain?"
"Old lady, the second master has found it, and he is in the casino, but the second master has become jealous of gambling, and has fallen out with the people in the gambling shop. Now the people in the gambling shop are going to cut off the second master's hand!"
"What? What happened? How could it be like this?" This villain not only brought dirty women in, but could it be that he is also addicted to gambling
This kind of gambling is a big taboo. Once you get involved in it, it will be very difficult to quit. What is he going to do? Is it really going to completely destroy the entire Shen family
"Old madam, the second master took money to gamble, and lost, the gambling house asked him to pay back the money, but he didn't have the money to pay back, and now, he is making trouble now!"
"How much did you lose?"
"I heard it's one hundred thousand taels."
"What?"
"Old lady, it's not good, it's not good!"
"what happened again?"
"Someone in the jade store started a commotion, saying that we sold fake products, clamoring for compensation!"
"How could it be a fake? Aren't the items in the jade shop all very good? Did these people do it on purpose?"
"No, old lady, the shopkeeper said that many rare jade wares in the jade shop have become fakes, and now many people are making trouble. Those people are all dignitaries, what should we do?"
"This scoundrel..." No one could find it, but so many things happened all at once, Mrs. Shen couldn't bear it anymore, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
"Old lady, old lady, come quickly, old lady has passed out!"
"Go ask the doctor!"
"Quick, help the old lady to lie down!"
…
It was noisy at first, but now Mrs. Shen fainted, Shen Wenhua had no choice but to take charge, first went to the jade store and promised to compensate the loss, then called the doctor to appease the debt collectors at home, as for Shen Wenli in the gambling house, Shen Wenhua also I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, so I just ignored it.
"Daddy, grandma..." Unexpectedly, Mrs. Shen would faint again, and Shen Jingshu was actually very sorry in her heart.
"Don't worry, mother will be fine." Sighing, Shen Wenhua didn't expect Shen Wenli to do so many wrong things, and he didn't plan to condone it.
"Wenhua, what should I do if my mother is like this? And my second uncle..."
"Since he wants to gamble, let him gamble as much as he wants, and he will pay off the gambling debt himself!" With a firm heart, Shen Wenhua did not intend to continue helping Shen Wenli, otherwise Shen Wenli would go too far and harm the entire Shen family in the future, which would be troublesome. up.
"But mother here..."
"It's okay, mother, I'll talk about it here!"
"Now that's the only way to go. Second Uncle has gone too far this time." It's not that they can't afford the money, but why should the big house help to pay back such a large amount of money? It's one time, two times, too many times, their big house is not a mountain of gold and silver, how can they help the second uncle wipe his butt every time
"Okay, don't worry." Holding Shan Banyan's hand and looking at the closed door, Shen Wenhua was really worried.
Mother, you must have nothing to do!
Although Shen Jingshu at the side also expected such a situation, she just didn't expect that Mrs. Shen would faint from anger, and she was a little worried, but...
She had to settle the second room's account, and she had to do it clearly and clearly, otherwise she would have no peace in her life. She had tried her best to protect her grandmother, but she didn't expect that Shen Wenli had done so many wrong things, and Mrs. Shen still couldn't let go, and even fainted from anger.
Pity the loving mother in the world, why doesn't the second uncle understand? If the other party has a little repentance, or even a little bit of kindness, and stops counting them, she may be able to see and see, but...
Thinking of what Shen Wenli and Guo Yuanshuang have done in the past six months in Jiangnan, Shen Jingshu absolutely cannot tolerate them continuing to tarnish the Shen family's reputation!
They have done so many wrong things and still refuse to repent, so it is time for them to learn some lessons! Otherwise, they always thought that the Shen family was their safe haven, and they didn't know what they would do in the future to ruin the entire Shen family!
So, this time, we must break it completely!
…
At this moment, the eldest son of the Shen family stood at the door worriedly, and Mingyue also came to see Mrs. Shen for treatment. Mrs. Shen slept all day, and when she woke up the next day, she was quite haggard. People are very distressed, "Mother, you have to take care of yourself, you will make us worry about you."
"Where's that villain? Where is it?" Mrs. Shen thought of everything before when she woke up, and her whole body trembled with anger.
