In the early morning of the second day, the sun was rising.
Xingyonghou Mansion is a place to nourish the heart.
Even though it was still early, most people in the Hou Mansion were already gathered here at this moment.
Wang Deyun sat on a chair on the side with a gloomy expression.
Liu's mother and daughter were sitting aside, although they looked a little impatient, but due to the majesty of the old lady, they had no choice but to hold back and say nothing.
"Sister, is there really nothing we can do about Yu'er's matter?"
Wang Deyun looked at the old lady with a pleading look. If his sister didn't even care about his grandson, it would be really hopeless.
More than 80,000 taels of silver, even if you sell him, you can't get it out.
The old lady looked extremely indignant. In order to resolve this matter yesterday, she shyly went to see Duke Cheng Guo again. She had almost used up the friendship that her son had left with his life for the Duke's mansion.
But I thought it wouldn't be a loss if I could bring Wang Yu back.
But Duke Cheng agreed very readily, and even asked his son Xu Wei to go out to discuss with Xie Yongling again, which can be said to be full of sincerity.
But compared to the success last time, this time Xu Wei encountered a soft nail with Xie Yongling.
Things are easy to talk about and people are easy to serve, but money cannot be less.
According to Xie Yongling, what happened to the elder of the Hou family last time gave him such a reputation. Although there is no evidence to prove that he controlled it, the reputation is really detrimental to the Xie family.
This time, Wang Yu came to his casino on his own again. The bet and debt were all real and written in black and white, so they would not be exposed easily again.
"I'm afraid it won't be so easy this time. Even the Crown Prince Cheng Guo has a soft spot with Xie Yongling."
The old lady spoke slowly, her tone full of melancholy: "And Xie Yongling said that if we can't come up with enough money for this matter, then he will report to the government and do it in accordance with the law.
When that time comes, with the amount of money Yu'er owes, it is not impossible to send him to the army or even be sentenced to be a domestic slave of the Xie Mansion. "
As soon as these words came out, Wang Deyun couldn't sit still on the spot and said quickly: "Sister, Yu'er is the only bloodline of our Wang family. You must think of a way to save him."
After all, as if he was afraid that his sister would really give up on Wang Yu, Wang Deyun didn't care about anything else and knelt on the ground on the spot, begging bitterly.
Seeing that her younger brother was acting like this again, the old lady stood up and shouted angrily at Wang Deyun: "You loser, you only know how to cry, do you have any other skills?"
"How old is Wang Yu? The places he hangs out all day are either casinos or brothels. Wasn't the trouble he got into big enough last time? It's only been a few days now?"
The old lady was so angry when she said this. No matter how much she doted on Wang Yu, she had to have a certain limit.
If Wang Yu continues like this, no matter how big the Hou Mansion's family fortune is, it will not be able to sustain it, not to mention that the current Hou Mansion is like a clay Buddha crossing the river, and it is difficult to protect itself.
"Doesn't he know that our Marquis Mansion was tricked by Xie Yongling last time and two lives were lost? He actually had the courage to gamble in the casino under the name of Xie Mansion. He thought that no matter what happened, I would support him. Then everyone in the entire capital wants to give face to our Xingyong Marquis Mansion?"
The old lady Jun became angrier as she spoke, and the rest of the people in the hall frowned tightly when they heard this and said nothing.
After a long time, seeing that the old lady's anger was almost gone, Mrs. Liu stood up and said: "Old lady, please calm down too. Although this Wang Yu is a bastard, he is of the blood of the Wang family after all, and he is related to our Hou family. We are inextricably linked, and when we get them back, we can fight and scold them no matter what.
But we can't really let Xie Yongling send him to the army or even take him as a domestic slave. If that happens, the face of our Marquis Mansion will really be trampled on and ravaged. "
Mrs. Liu thought a lot after a night. There were too many things going on in the Hou Mansion now, including internal and external troubles. The most important thing was that the next issue of Zi Heng entering the family tree must have the absolute support of the old lady. So now she You can't really go against her will.
Liu Shirui looked at her mother in shock. She didn't understand why her mother, who was very reluctant yesterday, changed her mind today.
The old lady also looked at Mrs. Liu in surprise and asked, "Why did you suddenly change your mind?"
Mrs. Liu smiled slightly: "Yesterday I was also frightened by the more than 80,000 taels of silver. After all, our Marquis Mansion cannot get this money now, and it is still at this time, so naturally the attitude is a bit too extreme."
"But when I thought about it more carefully, it was Xie Yongling who plotted against us before, not only causing Liu Shuxuan and Liu Zuan to hang themselves, but also making our Xingyong Marquis Mansion the laughing stock of the entire Kyoto.
This time he has set his sights on Wang Yu again. If he succeeds again, our Hou Mansion will have no prestige at all. "
“So even if it’s for ourselves this time, we still have to fight with Xie Yongling, so that others can see that although our Hou Mansion lives up to its past, not everyone can be bullied wantonly.
Even if we can't defeat him in the end, we still have to let the world know that we are not easy to bully, otherwise this kind of thing will happen more and more in the future, and anyone with some ability will come up and step on us, then we will really become rats crossing the street. . "
Good people will be bullied by others, and good horses will be ridiculed by others. As the wife of Marquis Xingyong back then, she still knew this truth.
You can be defeated, you can be no match, but you can't really fight back or scold someone.
If that were to happen, he would be swallowed whole by these people, not even the skin left.
"Then what can you do? There is no better news from Cheng Guogong yet. We ourselves..." Although the old lady is very happy with Liu's support, her family knows about her family affairs. There really is no capital to arm-wrestle with Zhan Ning.
"Don't worry, old lady. Although we can't do anything now, there are people who can help us."
"who?"
A smile appeared on Ms. Liu's face: "Ruier's husband, Yuhang."
The old lady frowned, "But as far as I know, Mr. Zhang has already left Kyoto. I'm afraid I can't be of much help."
If it weren't for Zhang Yifeng's departure, she would have gone to find Zhang Yuhang as soon as she knew about it, and she would still be able to wait until now.
"Sanshao Zhang has left, but don't forget that the Marquis of Yongchang has always been in Kyoto. Although he doesn't like Yuhang, he is his son after all. Our Marquis's family is also his in-laws in name. It’s the real deal.”
Mrs. Liu was very sure in her words. After all, the relationship between the two families was here. If they were really bullied too badly, then the face of Marquis Yongchang, who is the in-law, would naturally not look good.
"You mean to go to the Marquis of Yongchang and ask him to come forward to help?" As a mature person, Mrs. Liu just gave the direction, and the old lady knew what she was planning.
Mrs. Liu nodded: "Yes, now Wang Yu's matter is no longer a question of gambling debts or not, but represents the honor, disgrace and face of our Xingyong Marquis Mansion. Now that there is such a big fuss, if Wang Yu can be dealt with Just bring the safety belt back.
If we are really dealt with at will by Xie Yongling, we will face more calculations in the future. Even the current property of the Hou Mansion will probably be completely eroded by others.
But for this matter, I'm afraid I have to trouble the old lady to go to Yongchang in person. I'm afraid Yuhang won't be able to play a big role. "
